Eight 1 square meter items that are easily wasted at home, doing so significantly increases storage space!

A big house doesn't matter, but for a small house, space is really precious. When decorating, it's important to effectively utilize every square meter to ensure that everything is in order and the home is well-organized.

The 8 small spaces discussed in this issue, although only 1 square meter, have added more storage space after being arranged, which has been overlooked by many people. Don't waste them again in the next renovation.

1. Kitchen corner 1 square meter

The normal kitchen corners are all right angled and have pipes, so there is almost no space left on the countertop. The cabinets below are also difficult to utilize because they are too deep.

If you are willing to put effort into changing the right angle shape to a diamond shape, the space inside the countertop and cabinet will increase significantly.

The extra countertop has a large capacity inside for storing items. If you want to retrieve items more conveniently, you can install a 360 degree turntable, which is much more convenient than a right angle cabinet. You can also place a cutting board outside as a vegetable preparation area.

If there is no space to install the sink, it can also be arranged here to maximize space utilization.

2. 1 square meter above the toilet

If the bathroom is small, it is recommended to use the one square meter above. If you can find a suitable size of finished thin cabinet, just install one. If there is no suitable one, then make one. It won't cost much, but the benefit is once and for all.

If the washbasin is next to the toilet, it will be easier to operate. Extend the washbasin to increase the storage space on the countertop, where commonly used toiletries, tissues, aromatherapy, etc. can be placed.

Choose a large mirror cabinet above, which directly connects the toilet area and the washing area. It is grand and beautiful, and the storage space is greatly increased.

3. 1 square meter behind the bathroom door

Many people overlook this place, do not arrange anything, and simply waste it.

In fact, this is a treasure trove for storing cleaning supplies. Buy a set of split type cleaning tools and hang them up. You can find everything you need, such as mops, brooms, tile brushes, crevice brushes, etc., to solve the problem of cleaning the whole house and keep it organized.

After the door is opened, the tools are just hidden at the entrance, so it won't be messy anymore.

The above method is a way to make up for it after decoration. If you can pay attention to this position before decoration and the bathroom door can be moved, you can slightly move the door position to leave some space and make a set of ultra-thin storage cabinets,

4. 1 square meter bathroom partition wall

This semi high wall in the washing area not only blocks water stains from splashing onto the hallway, but also enhances the transparency of the living room, making it particularly attractive.

If you really like a similar design, replace the lower half wall with a storage cabinet, adding one square meter, making it convenient to store toiletries at any time and improving cleanliness.

5. 1 square meter below the hanging cabinet

The reason for making a hanging cabinet is to make the most of the vertical space, but the one shown in the picture is too high and can only hold low-frequency items, which has a very limited contribution to commonly used items.

The following method divides the hanging cabinet into three layers: upper, middle, and lower. Low frequency storage is placed on the upper layer, medium frequency items are placed on the middle layer, and commonly used seasonings, bowls, and chopsticks are placed on the lower layer. In this way, the wall space above the countertop is effectively utilized, instantly increasing by one square meter.

6. L-shaped kitchen increases by 1 square meter

The kitchen space is narrow and cannot be made into a standard U-shaped countertop, so many people give up and make it L-shaped, wasting the space on the other side.

In fact, this type of small kitchen can also be made into a "non-standard" U-shaped countertop, with the other side made narrower, such as 35 centimeters wide, so that some small kitchen appliances can be placed on top, and the cabinets below can also store nano noodles, seasonings, and other items.

7. Bedroom bay window 1 square meter

Don't have too many illusions about bay windows. Keeping them for later use may just be a pile of miscellaneous items, wasting one square meter directly.

So, if it can be disassembled, it's good to make a study table, dressing table, or put a lounge chair according to indoor usage habits.

It can be made into a table, but be sure to leave enough width under the legs, at least 30 centimeters, otherwise it will be uncomfortable if the legs are not extended.

If it is a children's room and the bed must be placed by the window, the bay window can also be used to make a tatami bed, which saves more space.

8. 1 square meter at the end of the corridor

Hanging a painting at the end of the hallway is a popular practice. Choosing the right painting can add the finishing touch to the overall decoration style of the house.

For small-sized apartments, practicality is still the most important.

Make a cabinet here directly, and if the corridor is long, the thickness can be appropriately relaxed. Suitcases, large storage boxes, etc. that are not easy to store can be accommodated, like a storage room.

If there are children at home, an open bookshelf can also be made to free up some space in the children's room and create a better reading atmosphere at home.
