In IKEA, you can always find a wave of designs with big brain holes, except beds, wardrobes, sofas, dining tables, chairs and other daily necessities. Among them, a large number of DIY products that can be combined at will make people's brains wide open everywhere. The author thinks it is IKEA's rich series of open shelves/cabinets.
Some people say that I have seen this kind of product, which is not suitable for the national conditions, especially in cities like Magic Capital. They are like dust all day, and they will be covered with dust if they are not cleaned for a week. If they want to buy, they will buy enclosed furniture.
I think this statement is very bad for four reasons: 1. Ikea and third-party manufacturers have a large number of inexpensive storage tools, which seal and preserve uncommon items, and common items will not fall into dust because of frequent use; 2. The use of such products actually helps to develop the habit of regular storage and cleaning, but the "maintenance-free" once and for all has created a lazy temperament; 3. The curtain can avoid the intrusion of external dust to the greatest extent; 4. Does the dust in your house really come from outside? Don't forget, after sweeping the floor and vacuuming, there are more fibers in hair and clothes, so to some extent, open furniture will help dust fall to the ground in time and be conducive to cleaning.
Of course, carrots and vegetables have their own tastes. If you are a big fan of enclosed furniture and don't want to contact the information of open shelves/cabinets, then you can close this article now.
-nonsense line, the following into the substantive part.
I think the most interesting thing is that although IKEA divides this kind of products into kitchen type, bathroom type, living room type, bedroom type, study type and so on. According to the usage scenario, if the brain hole is large enough, the room and the scene can't hinder the mashup and cross-border of such products. Today, the author will make a list, compare the advantages and disadvantages of ten open shelf/cabinet series recommended by IKEA, and see which one is suitable for your home scene.
1.Algot Aygit.
Face value: ★★★★★
Practicality: ★★★★★☆.
Cost performance: ★★★★★★★
Easy installation: ★
Bottom line: the full-load shelf on the wall is the most brain-opening.
This is an open shelf that relies entirely on the "hanging strips" on the wall, and can be matched at will within the existing accessories. I put Aygit in the first place because I was almost possessed some time ago and even moved the idea of using Aygit in the whole house. But the lack of reality makes the author rethink its applicability, so the advantages and disadvantages are summarized as follows:
Advantages:
( 1)? Cost-effective: a wardrobe is set at the beginning of 1000, other combinations are not more than 2000, and sketch combinations are generally within 500.
(2)? The face value is good: the white neat bend conforms to the current simple trend, and even the dark wall has no sense of disobedience, but it is really low-key in the IKEA store.
(3)? Arbitrary collocation: This is the most brain-opening place. The essence of Aygit is to use limited components and unlimited combinations. Bedroom, living room, study room, cloakroom, kitchen, bathroom, hall, etc. Have their uses. Can be transformed into wardrobes, desks, bookshelves, storage racks, cabinets, coat racks, TV cabinets, towel racks, laundry racks, etc. Even a "wardrobe" can adjust the internal space at any time according to the needs of family members. I'm afraid there is no more "universal" product line at IKEA.
(4)? High utilization rate of space, little influence of lighting and ventilation: compared with the whole space occupied by closed cabinets and the shielding of lighting and ventilation, and the shielding of semi-open cabinet legs, Aygit has no upright frame, which greatly meets the three-dimensional storage requirements of small-sized rooms. Combining the above advantages, you can use small space flexibly.
(5)? Easy to take away: most of IKEA's panel furniture (in fact, most of contemporary furniture) fasteners are self-tapping nails, which are not as strong as before after disassembly, and are usually thrown directly to the next home when moving. However, Aygit can take away all other components except the hanging strips and mounting rods directly fixed on the wall in minutes without affecting the secondary installation.
Disadvantages:
( 1)? There are too many holes in the wall: take the wall hanging strip with the longest length of 1.9 m as an example. The instructions require 8 holes, but according to the sales staff of IKEA, 6 holes are also needed to ensure the minimum strength. If you make a whole wardrobe shelf, the wall will almost become a sieve; Svaner, known as the high-end version of Aygit, has only three holes in the longest hanging strip. The drilling is not finished yet, and there are self-tapping nails, expansion pipes and so on. It must strictly meet the requirements of the manual (because it has no legs and no frame, and it has to be supported by a wall).
(2)? High wall requirements: only suitable for solid walls, not for partition walls. Even if it is a solid wall, it is recommended to be all concrete. If it is a brick-concrete wall, it is very likely that any hole will encounter brick cracks or wall cracks, and the bearing capacity will be greatly weakened. In addition, even if the installation is seamless, it is recommended to check the reinforcement regularly to avoid accidents.
(3)? Careful matching: In fact, this is the other side of the above advantage (3), that is, the matching on IKEA official website is only a reference, and how to match it needs to be planned by yourself, and the components should be picked up in the delivery area of IKEA. I just started taking it home. Aygit's instructions only have the installation method of a component, but there will not be a complete set of instructions. The characteristics of IKEA DIY alienate some people who don't want to do it themselves, so Aygit has to design and plan it himself. It is estimated that most people will leave it to designers even if they want to use it.
2.swana
Face value: ★★★★★☆.
Practicality: ★★★★★
Cost performance: ★★★★☆.
Ease of installation: ★★
Bottom line: high-end improved version of Aygit.
In view of the low profile of Aygit in IKEA stores, which often leads to shelf confusion, IKEA has launched a high-end version of Aygit-Svaner. Its principle is the same as that of Aygit, which is wall hanging strips and various components. The difference is that the material is wood, and the color of wood has also increased its value. Of course, the price has also increased.
Advantages:
(1) High face value: As mentioned above, Svaner's face value is really unusual because of the color of wood, and it is certainly more suitable for living rooms, study rooms, bedrooms and other spaces that emphasize comfort and entertainment.
(2) Diversified combination: Svaner has fewer components than Aygit, but it does not prevent it from becoming various bookshelves, bookcases, desks, lockers, etc. Of course, due to its wooden reasons, damp spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms are not suitable.
(3) High space utilization, small lighting without columns and legs: refer to Aygit.
(4) The installation is relatively convenient: this is relative to Aygit. Probably because the wood is lighter, the number of holes punched in the wall is greatly reduced. Unlike Ajit, a hanging strip needs to be punched so many holes, which is mentioned in Egteri.
Disadvantages:
( 1)? Low cost performance: perhaps because of the material and design. Svaner is 1-2 times more expensive than Aygit for the combination of the same or similar functions.
(2)? High wall requirements: refer to Aygit, but the reduction of the number of holes also means the relative reduction of wall requirements.
(3)? Careful combination: This is the same as Aygit, but its combination range is limited, and it seems to spend less energy than Aygit.
3. Elwari
Face value: ★★★★★★★
Practicality: ★★★★★
Cost performance: ★
Ease of installation: ★★★☆.
Bottom line: the high-value choice of beauty cloakroom
Advantages:
( 1)? Face value goes against the sky: in all the open and semi-open shelf series of IKEA, the face value of Elvari can definitely be called a peerless beauty, just as its name sounds like a beautiful woman. For the face value, the written description is always pale and powerless, so let's go to IKEA official website or IKEA store to really feel it. Therefore, the most suitable scene for Elvari is the cloakroom of beautiful women, and IKEA seems to be positioned in this way. As can be seen from the photos displayed in official website, most of them are matched with women's exquisite clothes.
(2)? Flexible and diverse combination: Elvari also has the advantages of the first two kinds of shelves, with a wide variety of components, such as drawers, shelves, clothes hangers, shoe racks and so on. And various combinations. IKEA official website has given twenty or thirty combinations. In addition, its upright posts directly reaching the ceiling and floor are also unique features that other series do not have.
Disadvantages:
( 1)? Bottom of cost performance: corresponding to the top value of Elvari, its cost performance is deeply embedded in the earth. Maybe it's because the design fee is high and the price has gone up. Just a small combination will cost one or two thousand; The price of large-scale combinations such as complete sets of wardrobes can be compared with the most famous Pax wardrobe series of IKEA. In fact, sometimes the open-shelf diagram is cost-effective, but Elvari has nothing to do with it and has become a patent in the cloakroom. Of course, people who have the strength to own an independent cloakroom (a whole independent room is a wardrobe) probably don't care about this.
(2)? There are few applicable scenes: Elvari was born for exquisite clothes and hats, and such a precious lady above should not be allowed to participate in the dirty work in the kitchen and bathroom.
4. Eva
Face value: ★★★★★
Practicality: ★★★★★
Cost performance: ★★★★★☆.
Ease of installation: ★★★★★☆.
Bottom line: Joker wooden shelf.
Eva series is one of the second best choices after the author gave up the whole house Aygit. Because the author barely completed a wardrobe combination and a desk+bookshelf combination in Aygit, the rest of the storage space layout really didn't want to make so many holes for Aygit, and thought that Svaner was not cost-effective and Al Wali was more expensive, so Eva began to enter the author's sight.
Advantages:
( 1)? Cost-effective ratio: Just like Elvari is like a lady, Eva's name is more like Xiaojiabiyu. Eva is a little more expensive than Egert, but it is still much more affordable than Al Wali and Svaner. One or two thousand can get a big combination, and one thousand can get various sketch combinations, which is quite the spirit of Aygit. Probably because bare wood material does not need painting, it saves a lot of material and process costs for manufacturers.
(2)? Installation is very easy: the EVA main frame components that consumers get are as simple as "side frames" and "shelves" (of course, cabinets, drawers and other accessories), and can be completed by simple splicing. According to the field sales staff of IKEA, unless there are Xiong Haizi or heavy objects at home, it is necessary to punch two holes in the wall to fix them, and generally it is not necessary to fix them on the wall.
Disadvantages:
(1) Bare wood material: It is precisely because bare wood material is easy to be damp and moldy, and it is not easy to clean after it is dirty. It is recommended to paint yourself after purchase, varnish if you like the color of logs, and paint if you like a certain color.
(2) There are a few application scenarios: because the wooden material is bare, it is not suitable for damp environments such as kitchens and bathrooms; Because of the lack of related parts, it can't be used as a desk or wardrobe, so there are many scenes to make bookcase file racks and living room bedroom balcony storage racks; The dimensions of side frames and partitions are not as diverse as Aygit, which limits the space for development.
5. Dinan
Face value: ★★★★
Practicality: ★★★★★☆.
Cost performance: ★★★★★★★
Ease of installation: ★★★★★★
Bottom line: Little helper in the corner.
Advantages:
( 1)? Corner space uses sharp tools and occupies a small area: many families have some "chicken ribs" space in the bathroom and kitchen, which Dinan can make full use of. For example, the space above the toilet water tank, the average family will not do storage racks on hard clothes; There are also some corner spaces that are difficult to predict when designing hard clothes (unless they are all booked in advance), but basins, shower rooms, refrigerators, washing machines, etc. It will only appear after it is completed. Dinan was born for this. Shelves, small shelves, small storage boxes, etc. behind the toilet. Make full use of these spaces.
(2)? Moisture-proof, mildew-proof, corrosion-resistant: the painted metal is mainly made of bamboo and wood shelves, which can be used for placing washing and cleaning products in the bathroom and seasoning kitchen utensils in the kitchen.
(3) Convenient installation: What flower heads are there for splicing metal plates, wooden boards and metal pipes? You don't even need tools Remember the simplest floor-mounted clothes rack used in the rental era?
(4) High cost performance: it is basically a combination of several hundred pieces, which can often solve many problems.
Disadvantages:
( 1)? Single combination mode: Dinan has few components and combinations, that is, single-layer small shelves, small boxes and small cabinets, and the size is also very single, far less than the first four.
(2)? Apart from small size, Dinan can't be used as a bookshelf, wardrobe and TV cabinet because of the small number of parts and single size, which limits its play space and no large-scale combination.
I shared five series of IKEA open shelves tonight, and then I will compare and analyze the other five series of IKEA open shelves, so please pay attention.
