Do you know the disadvantages of tatami? Many people say they regret it after doing it. Things to note when making tatami mats.
Did you design tatami mats when decorating your home? Nowadays, many people choose to install a tatami in their homes to store items and increase storage space. But recently I have heard a lot of feedback from people who have installed tatami. At first, tatami seemed to have all its advantages, but now it has all its disadvantages!
Nowadays, when decorating, many people are accustomed to installing a tatami in the second bedroom to increase the storage function. The creation of tatami is related to ancient China. In ancient times, it was woven with rushes and was spread on the ground all year round. It was a kind of furniture for people to sit or lie on. Tatami was introduced to Japan, South Korea and other places from the prosperous Tang Dynasty of China. Many people report that after installing tatami, not only the functions are not strong, but also there are many shortcomings. Does tatami have so many disadvantages?
1. Reasons for choosing tatami
For those who just need three bedrooms, which are mainly about 90 square meters. Generally, the area of each room is not very large. Many people will consider the second bedroom or study room. The reason for making a tatami floor is very simple. This method can be combined with a large number of storage functions. It can be used as a bed or a leisure area. One space can be used for multiple purposes.
2. Disadvantages of tatami
1. It is close to the window sill for good lighting, but the wind and sand cannot be collected. It is really inconvenient to open and close the window, draw the curtains and climb the Kang. It's easy to say that if you don't have children, hygiene is a big problem if you have children. You need to be very careful when eating, drinking, and defecating. A linen mat is very comfortable, but it doesn't block water or oil. A leather floor mat will immediately drop in price. The designs on the market cut corners, but in fact, it saves a lot of money. Things are very limited, and a 1.8-meter tatami is not as practical as a 1.8-meter double bed box for storing things.
2. The air permeability is not very good. In the Huangmei season in the Jiangnan region, you need to pay attention to moisture and mildew.
3. Installing tatami mats on the balcony of the living room feels fresh at first, but it visually divides the living room space and reduces the space.
4. It has strong fixation. Once installed, the style is almost determined. If you want to change the location or style of your home in the future, it will be difficult.
3. What should you pay attention to when making a tatami floor?
If you really decide to make tatami, there are some things to pay attention to:
1. Whether the floor should be used for storage, whether it should be in the form of drawers or flip-up doors. In the cabinet form, it is recommended to use hydraulic gas supports for the flip-up doors, which is more labor-saving than ordinary hinges;
2. When designing the size of the partition space inside the cabinet, you can consider the size of the storage box to be used in advance, so that You can maximize the use of space;
3. Please consider carefully whether you want a lifting table. This thing is not as practical as it seems;
4. If there is a rush mat on it, In fact, the upper flip-up door panel can also be considered to be made into a "slat frame", similar to some bed frames. This not only saves the budget, but also provides better ventilation.
In fact, I think tatami does have some shortcomings. It is inconvenient to use and takes up a lot of space. If you want to change it in the future, it will be a lot of work. If you want to install a tatami when decorating, you must first consider its shortcomings and design a more practical and convenient tatami based on your home's living habits and needs.
