See DetailsWhat kind of storage box are you using for your home storage? Anyway, I saw a lot of "internet celebrity style" storage boxes online before. Some of them were practical, while others were intelligence taxes!
Many storage boxes, when used, not only fail to make the home cleaner, but also waste space and cause trouble. To be honest, their shortcomings are also too prominent. Alas, they are all lessons learned from past experiences
So what are the storage boxes that are not worth buying for IQ tax products? Without further ado, let's share with you today the storage boxes that have prominent shortcomings and are gradually being phased out. Let's see if you have any in your home~
1、 Storage box with curved border
I personally suggest that when buying a storage box, don't try to look visually appealing. Instead, buy a storage box with four curved edges. This type of storage box, whether used as a divider box in a drawer or a sorting box in a cabinet, cannot fully utilize space.
After being placed in the cabinet (drawer), there will be extra redundant space at every corner, which not only occupies the space inside the cabinet, but also wastes the corner space in the storage box itself. It is really better to directly place it in the cabinet.
If you want to buy a storage box, don't buy one with a curved shape unless it's placed outside and doesn't have many storage needs. Otherwise, if you want to make full use of every inch of space, this octagonal pointed and square storage box is more suitable.
2、 Storage box with wide top and narrow bottom
The storage box with a wide top and a narrow bottom is also a storage box that I think was not designed with attention to details. Although the opening is large, there is a waste of space at the bottom, which is similar to the problem with the curved border storage box mentioned earlier, and cannot fully utilize space.
After being placed in the cabinet, there is an additional triangular space at the bottom of the box, with the edges facing each other. This space can be said to be completely wasted. Although the opening is larger for easy access, there is no need to narrow the bottom.
The answer is obvious. It is still said that a square and upright storage box is the choice. At least in terms of separating space and orderly storage, it is more practical than these curved or wide top and narrow bottom storage boxes.
3、 Clothing storage partition net basket
If you search for clothing storage, you will basically see this type of separated net basket. As someone who has been through it, I would like to advise everyone that it is not as useful as you imagine, mainly because the problem with the soft bag itself is quite prominent.
It limits the number of clothes to be stored. If you put too little, it will be loose and wasteful of space. If you put too much, it will become bulging and messy, and the balance in the middle will be difficult to control. When storing, it will make your head grow larger.
▲ Iron storage basket in the wardrobe
If there is enough space in the wardrobe, I prefer this type of hard framed storage basket. It is not affected by vertical and horizontal stacking and storage, and it is neat and can keep clothes in an orderly state. Of course, the size should be selected in advance, and it is to fill the cabinet.
Oh by the way, that drawer style wardrobe storage basket can also be used. For vertical space, it needs to be more comprehensively and fully utilized. However, as the saying goes, it's to let the storage box fill the cabinet.
4、 Egg storage box
The egg storage box does not mean that you cannot buy it at all. Everyone still needs to pay attention to two points. One is whether you have the patience to pack eggs each time, and the other is whether the size of the egg box can store eggs of different sizes.
Some egg storage boxes are higher, while others are lower. However, when we go to the supermarket to buy eggs, it is not necessarily the same size. The height of the egg tray and lid should be flexible in size, leaving room for extra space. Otherwise, it is easy to have problems of not being able to fit and crushing eggs, which is very common.
Imagine, the storage box that was originally used to increase the freshness of eggs, but just as it was covered, the eggs shattered. Isn't it quite frustrating?
5、 Underwear storage compartment that is too small
In order to store these small items such as underwear and socks, many people will put a set of square format partition storage boxes in their wardrobes. However, I hope everyone can listen to my advice - don't buy too small or too scattered partition boxes.
This small block partition storage easily disperses the spacious drawers or cabinet space. Although it may seem clear to categorize storage, it actually makes space utilization difficult and reduces the space for flexible storage.
My suggestion is to buy storage boxes that can be flexibly adjusted for separation as much as possible, or to create storage zones of different sizes according to daily usage habits. This not only ensures clear storage at a glance, but also ensures that the flexibility of space usage is not compromised.
6、 Side open storage box
The side opening storage box is truly one of the difficult storage items I have ever used, all based on the experience and lessons of those who have gone through it... The problem with it is that although it may seem neat, the opening is actually very small and the box is deep, making it inconvenient to retrieve the items stored inside.
Whether it's storing children's toys, clothing, or some scattered items in daily life, when you want to retrieve them, you always have to search for half a day. If it's not for storing unified or infrequently used items, it's clearly not recommended to use this side opening storage box.
But if you really like this type of storage box, you can also try the one with a side hung door. Some chassis even come with a small drawer, although I personally don't like it, it is actually much more practical than this type of side hung door.
7、 Choose transparent or opaque storage boxes for scoring occasions
Transparent or opaque storage boxes do not have a specific practical standard, and are often chosen in different locations. The biggest advantage of a transparent storage box is that it is easy to find internal storage items, but the problem is that it can easily appear messy. If it is placed in a cabinet for secondary storage, it is very suitable to use transparent ones.
An opaque storage box (preferably a simple white one) will hide the miscellaneous items stored inside, making it visually neater. If placed on an open cabinet or shelf, I would recommend using an opaque storage box.
8、 Non woven storage boxes are not recommended for use
Finally, let me talk to you about this type of non-woven storage item, including storage boxes, simple shoe racks, and storage boxes, which I do not recommend everyone to use. It can be said that they are also a type of storage device that is being phased out.
Its problem is equally prominent, which is that after using it for one or two years, the whole piece will shatter and even fall apart, making it difficult to clean up. Not to mention its storage capacity, its durability is very poor.
If I like fabric storage, I would rather use a canvas storage box (basket) than non-woven fabric. Besides, I don't have to worry about durability or not being able to scatter?
Summary at the end of the article
Have you also gained some understanding of these flashy storage boxes when you see them here?
In summary, the above 8 storage boxes, some of which cannot make better use of space, while others have poor durability and are indeed too impractical. Based on the experience of previous people, I advise everyone that these storage boxes are being phased out and are not worth buying!
I don't know if you have these storage boxes at home~
