Is it good to leave space under the shoe cabinet? What is the purpose of leaving space under the shoe cabinet?

We all know that shoe cabinets are a common type of furniture. They are mainly used to store shoes. Almost every home has a shoe cabinet. There are many styles of shoe cabinets. Some people leave space under their shoe cabinets. This is a very common design. So why do we leave space under the shoe cabinet? Let's take a closer look!

The benefits of leaving space under the shoe cabinet

1. Improve aesthetics

Traditional floor-standing shoe cabinets are limited in design, but the empty design can make the shoe cabinet look better. In addition, in many cases, the indoor power and weak current boxes are right at the entrance. The empty design of the shoe cabinet not only wraps the power and weak current boxes, but also improves the heat dissipation effect. At the same time, with the lighting effect, it makes the entrance hall very beautiful and improves the overall aesthetics.

2. Improve the cleanliness of the entrance

Under normal circumstances, people tend to take off their shoes after entering the room and place them casually at the entrance. Although there is a shoe cabinet next to it, it is very troublesome to take shoes from the shoe cabinet every time. Therefore, people's habitual way is to place them casually at the entrance, making the entrance very messy. In this case, when the shoe cabinet is designed with space, slippers for temporary use will be placed in the empty position. Then, when taking out the temporary slippers, people will habitually put the taken-off shoes in the temporary slippers position. This is a natural habitual practice. Therefore, the empty shoe cabinet design makes the entrance more tidy.

3. Improve the convenience of changing shoes

The most important function of the empty space design under the shoe cabinet is to make it convenient to change slippers. With the empty space design, the shoes taken off do not have to be put into the shoe cabinet every time, making the originally simple task even simpler, more humane, and directly improving the convenience of changing shoes.

4. Improve the service life of the shoe cabinet

Leave a space under the shoe cabinet so that the moisture from the ground will have much less impact on the shoe cabinet. This is especially true in southern cities where most entrances are clad in tiles. When the south wind blows, the tiles will be very damp. The space design and vents can keep the shoe cabinet away from moisture and provide good ventilation, greatly increasing the service life of the shoe cabinet.

What is the purpose of leaving space under the shoe cabinet?

There are two main purposes for leaving space at the bottom of the shoe cabinet:

First: You can put shoes that you wear frequently, mainly slippers. It is more convenient to change shoes when you go in and out. You can hide some shoes in it after changing. You don't need to open the shoe cabinet to change, which saves a process.

Second: Leave a certain height space at the bottom of the shoe cabinet to place the hidden light strip to achieve the lighting rendering effect.

Leaving space at the bottom of the shoe cabinet to place shoes will affect the appearance. But it is indeed a more convenient way. It depends on how to choose.

Now, including sideboards and TV cabinets, there is also a design with a hollow bottom to increase the layering and three-dimensional effect.

How to design a shoe cabinet without leaving space under it

First, the bottom layer or two layers of the shoe cabinet are made into open

The shoe cabinet is designed to be floor-to-ceiling, so there are no dead corners to clean. Shoes that need to be worn every day and home shoes can be placed on the two open layers of the shoe cabinet. There will not be a lot of shoes placed in front of the shoe cabinet.

Second, use the shoe bench

The shoe cabinet is still made into a floor-to-ceiling closed shoe cabinet. Then place a shoe-changing bench with a compartment next to the shoe cabinet. This can also solve the problem of shoes being placed all over the floor.

I personally think these two methods are good, but no matter what, you should clean up the unworn shoes in time, and wash the shoes that are not in season in time and put them in the shoe cabinet. It is not very elegant to leave cotton shoes and slippers outside in the hot season.
