How to not blindly start with all kinds of storage boxes?

Jan 30, 2024

The core idea of not blindly starting storage is: plan before you buy.

 

The first step in planning is to classify the things in your home and have an idea of the magnitude/volume of each type. The volume of the item determines the way it is stored and the size of the container, so it is important to evaluate it correctly.

 

The second step is to understand the storage space. How many cupboards do you already have in your home, or how many pieces of furniture are you planning to add for storage?What is the space in the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom?Take a closer look and measure the size of some key storage places (e.g., wardrobes, closets, drawers) for later use.

 

Third, divide the things that are divided into categories to different storage spaces. Simply put, it's about thinking about where to put everything. Should tissue paper be placed in the kitchen, bathroom or storage room? Where to put non-seasonal clothes and bedding? This part should not only consider some basic principles of storage, such as putting heavy objects low, not putting things that are afraid of moisture under the sink, etc., but also consider their own usage habits, the volume of items and the size of storage space.

 

Fourth, our preparations are basically completed at this point, and we can start to choose the right storage. Depending on the size that I measured before, let's purchase it with information.
