Attics, cellars or cramped places are abandoned as the dumping floor of all the household goods thrown away. With dust, cobwebs and hardly any natural light, these neglected rooms are the ideal backdrop for creepy stories with so much design potential for waste. It is time to better use them and to give these forgotten places in their home. Even if your attic or other tight corner of your house only serves for storage, it is time to do this with style.
In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Vandana Dhawan Saxena, founder and design director at Studio IV Designs, shared how to optimize these rooms and even transform the cramped corners into stylish corners.
Here is the detailed guide that Vandana shared about how to revise the memory functions of your attic, but chic, organized way:
Illuminate the room and ventilate
White walls and ceilings make it possible for the rooms to feel better and larger and make it easy to see what is saved. Good ventilation is a necessity for all rooms, but especially for cramped rooms. This can be facilitated by using exhaust gas fans. In addition, the door designs can contain functions such as a slotted radiator grille on the floor to promote air circulation. You have to ensure that combustible goods are not stored in such rooms without ventilation because they represent potential fire risks.
Planning memory requirements
Before determining the storage system, a user should create a list of elements that you want to save in a storage space as a good starting point. Submit that organized storage solutions such as open or closed shelf or a combination of both with the right depth and height can help maximize the space and, if necessary, enable easy access to the objects. Nowadays, several memory solutions are available, such as metal shelves with movable shelves, which can be set on the basis of the height of objects, wood shelves and clear plastic containers with which you can see what is in it and keep the objects dust -free.
Load purchased and designed storage solutions
You can take into account both designed and shops purchased storage solutions:
- Modular cube storage, which can be configured based on the storage space and the stored elements.
- Overhead ceiling shelves or suspended shelves (particularly useful in basement with higher ceilings).
- Wall mounted sweeping spaces or slatted walls with hooks and baskets for tools, sports equipment or hobby equipment.
- Role wagons with drawers or containers that can be moved depending on the access requirements.
- Foldable or foldable memory containers that save space if they are not used.
- Drawing organizers for smaller objects such as seasonal decorations or accessories.
- Label stackable trash can or boxes that make sorting and calling more efficient.
- Shelves or take off the shelves when the room layout allows.
- Built -in cupboards with a combination of open and closed shutters for an integrated, decent look.
Lighting and cut
In areas such as cellars or attics, which are largely used for storage, the lights work best with ceiling lights and ceiling tracks, as they maximize the vertical stacking. Shelves could also be designed with built -in lighting, but this can be an expensive offer. The tile cladding at the Dado level could be considered to prevent abrasion traces if you move objects in and out of the warehouse areas.
