▲ Storage cabinets are very important.
Therefore, in the decoration of modern people, the design of storage cabinets has been paid more and more attention! And when you customize furniture at home-should the cabinet be on top? Today we will talk about this topic!
// 1, advantages of cabinet top//
For small huxing, the most obvious advantage of being a cabinet top is that it can realize powerful storage function. For example, the top height of the cabinet is 2.8 meters, and a 40-60cm overhead cabinet can be added, on which suitcases or out-of-season clothes can be placed, so that more space can be made for the cabinets below.
▲ It is very important for a small apartment to do a good job in the top cabinet and the top space.
//2. Disadvantages of the top cabinet//
Although the top of the cabinet can achieve more storage, in many families, the cabinet is still not top, so what is the reason?
(1) is inconvenient to use.
The top cabinet is really inconvenient to use. If a designer is less than 1.6 meters tall, it is very difficult to put things in the top cabinet and step on the high stool. Every time she uses the top cabinet and steps on a high stool, she feels very dangerous. One is that she is afraid of stepping on empty space, and the other is that she is afraid that the suitcase will fall.
▲ The top cabinet is very high, and it is difficult to use it when stepping on a stool.
② Stress and deformation
If the cabinet is made very high, the vertical plates on both sides and in the middle will bear more weight. If the design or installation is not standardized, or the things are too heavy, the cabinet is likely to be overloaded and deformed.
▲ The side panel of the cabinet is too long, the cabinet is heavy and easy to deform.
③ The cost is high.
The standard height of ordinary plates in custom cabinets is about 2m 4, so most of our common custom cabinets are less than 2.4m The height of our houses is generally more than 2.7m.. If the cabinet is capped, the loss rate of the plates used in this small section cabinet will be higher. Then the top of the cabinet may still be hanging. From materials to installation, the cost is much higher. You should know that these costs have to be paid.
▲ The cost of the top cabinet is high.
//3. What if the cabinet doesn't top? //
What if the cabinet is not capped?
① Leave blank
Cutting is a cheaper scheme, but the appearance effect is the worst, and the blank area at the top is also a sanitary corner that is difficult to clean.
▲ The top of the cabinet is left blank, and the suitcase can be put, but it is difficult to clean here, which is a sanitary corner.
② sealing plate
If there is a plaster line on the ceiling, such as a house about 2.7 meters high, the cabinet is installed to 2.4 meters, and then there is a position of 30cm above it. You can choose to seal the plate and combine it with the plaster line to make the whole closing more beautiful.
▲ The top of the cabinet is sealed, and it is more natural to connect with the ceiling to avoid sanitary dead ends.
③ Suspended ceiling
If there is no plastering line around the ceiling and the top is exposed to 30cm to seal the board directly, the proportion will be embarrassing; It is suggested to simply make a ceiling at the top of the cabinet, so that the connection between the cabinet and the ceiling will be more harmonious.
▲ Install a simple ceiling above the cabinet, which is unified with the overall shape of ceiling and more beautiful and natural.
Then, if the cabinet is used as a ceiling, a 5- 10cm sealing plate should be left at the top. The reasons for this are as follows: first, it is impossible for the wardrobe door to stick to the ceiling, for fear of uneven floor, leaving a little space to install the sealing plate, which can be flexibly controlled to close; Second, some custom cabinets are assembled first and then pushed in. If the ceiling is too tight, it is difficult to push in.
▲ Between the cabinet and the ceiling, a small sealing plate is also needed.
//4, the cabinet is top, how to close the plaster line? //
If smallpox has plaster line, when dealing with the closing between the cabinet and plaster line, I personally suggest that the plaster line bypass the top of the cabinet from the perspective of aesthetic effect, so that the overall vision is more beautiful and the closing is more atmospheric.
▲ The cabinet and plaster line should be closed. It is suggested to install gypsum line on the side of the cabinet.
Cabinets are large pieces of furniture that every household will install, and when making cabinets, on the one hand, we should consider storage, on the other hand, we should comprehensively consider the decoration effect and practicality according to our own conditions and needs, and we should not just think about filling them up! Don't stick to the top of a 3-meter-high cabinet, only to find that your height of 1.5 meters is simply out of reach!
