During the peak season of decoration, many young couples in order to make better use of space, when choosing custom furniture, designers often propose a design that makes the room into a tatami. What are the benefits of making a tatami room of 7 to 15 square meters? How much storage space can you free? Can tatami for tea table, writing desk and bed affect the quality of sleep? Is it really appropriate to add all the extra needs that the family expects to read, guest accommodation, recreation, storage, etc., to this space? Tang Tian decoration designer Leike Feng believes that before creating a tatami, you must understand the secrets of tatami.

Custom furniture brand push tatami

In the impression of the general manager Li Jiacong of Shangpin, the tatami is actually the last one or two years. "From the data of our terminal sales, tatami is undoubtedly one of the best customized products in 2015." The tatami consumption of custom-made home brands has gradually grown. The reporters have learned from the decoration companies such as Huayi Taste Decoration, South Carving Decoration, and Home Furnishing. Nowadays, more and more families choose to convert the study or children's room into tatami, only tatami in 2015. The terminal consumption has increased by about 30%. In view of the outstanding performance of tatami in the terminal market, the custom-made big names including Shangpin Home and Sofia have increased the research and development of tatami products.

According to Xie Yucheng, the head of Shangpin's home design, Shangpin's home is equipped with the Danish color II tatami, which is the main push this year. It is suitable for a small space of less than 12 square meters. When the middle lift table is free to adjust the height according to different needs, it can be transformed from a bed, a child's game world to a desk or a place for family and friends to entertain. In addition to its powerful transvesting function, it also has a large-capacity storage function. The drawers under the bed and the drawers next can store any items, and the in-line handles are extremely beautiful.

Fit to small storage space needs

In the designer's view, the hot tatami is closely related to the current living conditions of urban people. Since small-sized houses have become the mainstay of the market, many families have the demand of “how to make full use of every inch of home space”, and the high utilization rate of space on tatami will naturally become the darling of household consumption.

Xie Yucheng told reporters that for small-sized space, the biggest advantage of tatami is that it can increase storage space. Underneath the tatami can be designed as a drawer or a side-opening box for storing quilts, seasonal clothes and other idle items. On both sides of the tatami floor, you can also create an integrated wall-mounted storage cabinet, which not only looks very beautiful, but also makes full use of every inch of home space.

In addition, with the multi-functional characteristics of tatami, it is also easy to solve the problem of small rooms and families without a room. Xie Yucheng believes that in the design of the study, a tatami with a lifting platform is added. When the guest visits, the lifting platform is lowered and the bedding is placed on the tatami. It is a sincere hospitality space.

How to create a comfortable tatami?

The so-called "knowing ourselves and knowing each other can only be a battle." As a tatami consumer, you can't think that you can find a custom home brand. Lek Peak believes that before building a tatami, you must understand the secrets of tatami.

Material can be selected from a wide range of wood flooring

According to Leikefeng, the current tatami materials on the market mainly include large core boards, high (medium) density boards, three-layer splints, and finger joint boards. If the material requirements are relatively high, solid wood can also be used. In terms of price, the most expensive is solid wood, followed by the board and the large core board, and the splint and high (medium) density board have the lowest price.

If you want something different, you can also choose the relatively individual tatami material of stone, glass or cement. However, in general, designers do not recommend the choice of such materials as tatami because their texture is too cold. If you want tatami in winter and cool in summer, it is best to choose wooden materials. At the same time, if you use tatami with stone, glass and cement, it means that it is difficult to use a box-type floor design. In other words, you must sacrifice the storage function of tatami.

In addition, many owners take it for granted that using wooden flooring to create tatami is the most trouble-free. The specifications of solid wood flooring are too small and the width is too narrow, which is not suitable for tatami.

Paving load, environmental protection and height requirements

Lek Peak pointed out that paving tatami must first consider two factors: First, it must have strong bearing capacity. Because tatami is to let people lie down or even walk, the bearing capacity must be good. Second, it is environmental performance. Because the proportion of wood products in tatami is very large, and people are in direct contact with wood products, and the space of tatami is generally small, if environmental protection is not enough, it will cause greater harm to health.

Huang Lilan, designer of Sofia Zhengjiadian, told reporters that the height of tatami is very important. If it is too short, it will absorb moisture. If it is too high, it will make the space appear oppressive. In order to avoid the use of space, it is recommended that the height of the tatami floor should be above 2.7m. In general, the designer recommends setting the height of the tatami to 15cm to 35cm. If it is an ordinary tatami, the height is generally 15cm to 20cm. However, in addition to the storage of tatami, it is also possible to discharge the lifting table (the floor is flush with the ground when it is lowered, but the legs are hidden in the platform), and the height of the tatami must be 35cm to 40cm. In addition to the height of the tatami mat, consider the aspect ratio. Tatami has standard rectangular and non-standard rectangles. The standard rectangle has an aspect ratio of 2:1. Non-standard rectangles are determined by the specific conditions of the space.

Different types of space tatami design

Long and narrow space: The platform can be designed in the position of the window, adding a multi-functional rest area, while at the same time relaxing the narrow visual sense.

Living room with small balcony: raise the floor to increase storage, add other storage design on both sides, as a multifunctional leisure area is very practical.

Adjacent to the balcony: You can use the design of the entrance cabinet + platform at the entrance. You can usually read the book and drink tea on the platform, and also design a display stand and put on the collection decorations to give a good impression.

Long bedroom with bay window: The window sill can be used well, and the platform design can meet the needs of storage, leisure and work reading.

Small science

Kyoto tatami size is slightly larger than Tokyo

The traditional size of a tatami mat is 90 cm wide, 180 cm long, 5 cm thick, 1.62 km2, and half a tatami with a size of 90 cm by 90 cm. Because the size of the tatami is fixed, in a traditional Japanese building, the room size is an integer multiple of 90 cm.

It is worth mentioning that the tatami area in Kyoto and Kansai is slightly larger than that in Tokyo and Kanto. Tokyo's tatami size is 85 cm by 180 cm and the area is 1.53 square meters.
