has a lot of tricks, which may look familiar, but I haven’t studied the functions in detail and have only a little understanding of them. Therefore, I haven’t started yet.
I really know their "strength" and I really regret that I didn't buy it earlier.
In this issue, we will take stock of 10 magical racks of this type. Properly used, they can really make the home more spacious, especially for small apartments. The benefits are profound ~
1. Telescopic drying rack
In addition to the normal drying rack on the top of the balcony, Clothes racks are also needed for drying shoes, pillows, etc. General auxiliary drying racks cannot be folded and take up too much space. Although foldable ones save space, they do not look good when placed on the wall.
After realizing this, among the many drying racks, I found this drying net that can be pulled out and folded.
It is a flat drying net when you pull it apart. In addition to being able to dry shoes, pillows, etc., you can also throw clean socks on it to dry if you are too lazy to hang them on the clothes rack. It is super convenient.
The thickness after shrinkage is only about 2 centimeters. It saves space and at the same time, chooses a color similar to the wall to weaken the sense of presence. Coupled with the minimalist design, it is basically invisible.
because the width is only about 4 cm, it can also be attached to the window frame, which does not affect the opening and closing of the window. It is closer to the sun and is ventilated. It dries quickly no matter what it is exposed to.
I really regret not knowing earlier that there is such a drying rack. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have bought a towel rack in the bathroom.
is replaced by this one. It is usually used as an ordinary hook hook. When you need to take a shower, you can pull it open and have a place to put clothes and bath towels. The bathroom still looks spacious and tidy.
By the way, there is also a kitchen, which is usually used as a small tool hanging rack and can be opened as a food preparation rack, killing two birds with one stone.
2, bookshelf
In fact, I have known about the bookstand a long time ago.
But what I didn’t know is that in addition to storing books, it also has a series of fancy applications, and all of them are very practical.
First of all, in the cabinet, small long items at home can only be laid flat if placed alone. At this time, two bookstands are put together to form a high cabinet with sliding edges.
Various plastic wraps, rolling pins, long-handled brushes, temporarily unused rice spoons, and spatulas are arranged in layers to clearly utilize the vertical space, which is very friendly to families with compact cabinets.
Then there are the bagged seasonings. Because they cannot stand on their own, most of the time they fall into pieces after a few days of preparation. The mess is not the most important thing. What is unbearable is that they leak everywhere.
Put the bookshelf on its back and give it a support point. After the bag stands upright, there is no chance of tipping or leaking. The key point is that the bookend is suitable. There is no pressure when placing thick bags and two or three thin bags. group, does not affect access.
also has children's shoe storage. If you use an adult shoe cabinet to store children's shoes, there will be a waste of height and depth. In this case, you can also use a book stand to solve the problem.
As shown below, you can stick a set of bookstands on the side of the shoe cabinet or on the door frame. No matter the height or length, it is suitable for putting on the shoes of preschool children.
Alternatively, place the bookshelf in the shoe cabinet, and then place the children's shoes upright, which saves at least half the space compared to ordinary placement.
Of course, I only picked a few typical ones, as well as some common bag storage and dish storage. I won’t list them all here. If you are interested, you can search them by yourself.
3, bathroom shelves
I guess there are many people like me before who pile skin care products directly on the countertop in the bathroom. To be fair, there are pros and cons to placing skin care products this way.
The advantage is convenience, things are at hand, but the disadvantage is that cleaning is inconvenient. Moreover, because of this, I have also experienced the dilemma of facial cleanser becoming moldy and yellow marks on the countertop being unable to be wiped clean.
‘I think if I had bought a shelf around the sink earlier, I wouldn’t have had this experience.
So, when I moved into my new home, just in case, I bought a special cosmetics shelf for the bathroom and attached it to the side wall of the sink. Not only is it easy to use, but the countertop is no longer filled with bottles and cans. It looks refreshing too.
The key is that no matter how much water is splashed on the countertop after washing your face, it can be wiped cleanly and it can be done in a few or two strokes.
Of course, you should never be vague when buying something for your new home. It took me a long time to choose something with card slots that can be flexibly disassembled. It is very convenient to take it out for cleaning when it gets dirty.
Coupled with the appearance of transparent Changhong acrylic, it has its own appearance system when placed in the bathroom, and has a stopper in front to prevent things from falling.
In order to maintain uniformity, I also installed one above the toilet to store toilet paper, wet toilet paper, aromatherapy, etc. Because it does not need to be nailed to the wall and has good load-bearing capacity, it can also be used as a kitchen spice storage rack in addition to the bathroom.
4, sink hook rack
Many people don’t know that a small hook rack attached to the inner wall of the sink can be used to store dish towels.
Although I didn’t know about it until later, the moment I found out, I immediately made arrangements for my family.
Just put the used dishwashing pads inside, and the drained water will drip directly into the sink, saving a lot of trouble.
The simple stainless steel hook has no sanitary dead corners and does not require secondary cleaning.
There are no piles of dishwashing cotton storage boxes on the countertop, so it looks fresh and spacious.
Occasionally, if the lid is lifted from a hot pot and placed directly on the counter, water will flow, and the countertop needs to be cleaned. Putting it on top can be used as a temporary pot lid holder.
5, stainless steel clothes hanger clip rack
I saw this stainless steel clothes hanger clip rack at my best friend’s house.
Socks that are usually easy to put away and difficult to tumble around can be clamped together to make them look neat and tidy, and you no longer have to rely on planes to pick up the socks.
is equally useful for holding underwear and pants. You don’t even need to fold them deliberately, and they can still be kept neatly.
Although it has a simple structure, if you look at it in detail, it can store 20 items on one shelf. The capacity is really large, but the space it takes up is very small. When hung in the closet, it is the width of a piece of clothing. The most important thing about
is that it is very cheap. Others only plant one when planting grass. I planted three at once. Not only for myself, I also use it to hang small items for my husband and children.
I think if I had known about this organizing tool earlier, I wouldn’t have spent a lot of time and energy on organizing clothes every week.
6, sling hanger
I saw it together at my best friend’s house, and this sling hanger.
is different from the clothes hanger clip rack in that it has a double-ring hook on the bottom and a non-curved wooden strip on the top. The texture is very high-end.
Usually, the hanging straps are too small to be stacked, easy to fall off when hung, and take up space. Use this hanger to hang multiple clothes hangers in one go.
I have relatively few slings. I use the extra hooks to hang belts and scarves. The advantage of double-ring hooks is that they can be used to hang scarves directly. They will not slip off like ordinary hooks, nor will they be removed. Silk scarf is really useful for hooking injuries.
If you have more slings, the racks can be stacked in multiple rows to maximize the use of space.
I don’t know where she collected such useful shelves, but now I know it’s not too late. The price is more than ten yuan, so I can arrange it for my home immediately.
7, gas water heater concealing rack
A long time ago, I knew the concealing method of using perforated boards to cover the water heater pipelines, but at that time, there were still various DIY methods such as splicing cable ties, magnetic hooks, and adhesive tapes.
As everyone knows, it has now evolved into a complete finished ugly-covering rack, and it is also equipped with various storage accessories. It not only covers the ugly, but also adds practical functions.
If the water heater is located near the sink, or separated by a wall from the stove, hanging all the messy gadgets in the kitchen neatly on it can be a solution that kills two birds with one stone.
8. Multi-purpose slipper rack
I didn’t understand before, why do slippers need to be hung?
Until I experienced it myself, I regretted not hanging it up earlier.
Because of the hanging slippers, I no longer have to kick them here and there, and cleaning is smooth and my waist is saved.
After taking a bath, hang the slippers directly on them and drain them in time to avoid the water on the soles of your feet being everywhere in your home, causing you more cleaning troubles.
For more convenience, I chose this kind of lazy shoe rack. There are two ways to hang shoes, either opposite or in a figure-eight shape. You can put on slippers by stretching your feet without bending down.
In addition to hanging slippers, it is also a shoe rack of any type. Of course, other shoes will not appear in the bathroom, but it is still necessary to hang the shoes that have just been washed on it to dry them out and then dry them.
When slippers are not placed, it can be used as an ordinary hook, which is also useful for storing hair ties and shark clips, and it looks great.
9. Folding kitchen dish rack
I also learned through many detours that the drain basket in the sink is not useful at all for putting clean bowls.
Because it is inevitable that after washing the dishes, you will also wash some fruits or put a rag and put the bowl in the drain basket. As long as the water is boiled, water will splash. Sometimes it is not used for the next meal, and the bowl from the previous meal is not dry yet. .
Of course, another very critical reason is that the sink that has been cut in half is not smooth to use.
But sometimes it’s just like this, and you can only understand the detours after actually going through them, and then you can find a more suitable way based on the pain points. For example, I made up my mind to throw away the drain basket on the original sink and replaced it with an external countertop drain. shelf.
This draining rack does not need to be too big, it is enough for one meal. You can drain the washed bowls by putting them in it, and you don’t have to worry about water being splashed again.
Most importantly, it can also prevent too many bowls from piling up outside due to procrastination. Of course, if you are a diligent person, you can store the dried bowls in the cabinet in time, and fold the unused bowl racks so that they do not take up space on the countertop.
Or, turn it over and turn it into a small table, which can be moved wherever needed.
In addition, let me tell you some trivia: most of the drain baskets and sinks provided are made of 201 steel, and 201 steel cannot come into contact with food. Even if you think the original configuration is good, you must make sure it is safe before using it.
10, countertop folding garbage rack
has the same purpose as the dish rack. It can also be folded, and can be tucked into the corner of the kitchen when stacked.
You can imagine how spacious and comfortable a kitchen without a trash can would be.
Open it when in use and place it between the vegetable cutting area and the sink. Firstly, the path for throwing garbage becomes closer, avoiding dripping. Secondly, you don’t have to bend down to throw garbage, which is very convenient. The more amazing thing about
is that it doesn't care about the size of plastic bags. It can be used as large as supermarket bags or as small as plastic bags for grocery shopping.
If nothing else, my family has never bought a garbage bag since using it.
