\”Leg room\” is easily overlooked in decoration, a detail that most people don\’t know about

\”Legroom \”——Ignored during decoration, regretted after moving in!

What is \”leg room\”?

① You went to a parent-teacher conference in elementary school and wanted to cross your legs. When you raised your legs, you almost turned over the desk.

② I was riding a long-distance bus. My feet were numb after sitting for a long time. I wanted to stretch my legs, but I found that I couldn\’t stretch my legs at all.

The above two cases are situations where the \”leg room\” is unreasonable! After seeing this, you should probably understand what \”leg room\” is! In home decoration, there are many places to consider \”leg room\”, but this design is often ignored, and you regret it after you move in.

Now I will introduce some cases of \”leg room\” that are easy to overturn in home decoration, so that everyone can take warning. !

1. Under the desk:

Never install drawers!

The height of the desk table is generally 75cm, the standard height of the chair is 45cm, and the human thigh is about 15-20cm. After we sit at the desk, there is only 10-15cm of space left in the middle. If you are There are drawers installed under the desk, so there is a high probability that it will be stepped on!

Because the single use time of the desk is long, you also have to consider situations such as standing up, shaking legs, crossing one\’s legs, etc. After all, few people can sit still for a long time. If the desk has drawers, it will be easy for the feet to hit the knees.

It is recommended not to install drawers under the desk, especially for taller users. Drawers will make you very uncomfortable.

2. Below Zhongdao Batai:

The foot side panels are retracted 25cm!

In order to save space, many people now consider building an open kitchen and then installing a central island bar between the kitchen and the hall. This central island is also prone to \”leg room\” overturning. Specific manifestations In the following 2 solutions——

①When you sit down, you will stand up:The side panels around the island are as wide as the countertop. This way, when people sit on a bar chair, it is difficult for their upper body to reach the space inside the table. To drink coffee or eat, they have to lift it up. .

②Bend when standing:The center island in an open kitchen is often used as a worktop. If the side panels are flush with the countertop, we stand on the center island There is still some distance between the console and the console, so we need to reach out and bend down when using this console.

In order to improve the experience of using the island bar, it is recommended that the side panels be retracted 20cm± to leave some space for seating and legs (standing), which will greatly improve the practicality of the island bar.

3. Under the dining table:

Don’t make the table legs too wide!

For dining tables made of metal, stone, or acrylic, the size of the table legs will be larger. If the table legs are too large, there will be nowhere to place the legs when sitting and dining, especially when dining. When there are many people, it will be awkward for the host and the guests to touch each other.

It is recommended to choose a table with simple legs so that your feet will not touch your feet when you sit down to dine.

4. Below the deck:

The deck should be wider at the top and narrower at the bottom!

In some small apartment decorations, card holders are used instead of dining chairs.This kind of seat design should be \”wide at the top and narrow at the bottom\” because for taller people, their calves will be slightly retracted after sitting down. If the seat is at a right angle, it will be difficult to put your feet up when you sit in it.

5. Change the bay window into a table:

The countertop needs to be widened!

Some small families, in order to make full use of the \”useless\” bay windows, will transform the bay windows into desks, dressing tables, etc. In this transformation, if the bay windows are directly raised for storage, people can sit in them. You have to spread the outside of your feet, which is very uncomfortable.

If you plan to convert the bay window into a table, you should widen the tabletop so that there is \”leg room\”.

——

In home decoration, \”leg space\” should pay attention to two dimensions: height and depth: height is generally 30cm±, such as desk 75cm-chair 45cm=30cm; depth 20cm±, which is roughly when a person sits on the tabletop , the legs can naturally extend under the countertop

If you want to have a good \”leg room\” – don\’t just think about whether you can get in, but also consider whether you can sit down. After sitting down, Can it be comfortable?
