Interior Case Study - Relaxing Space for Two
Mr. Cheung needs an efficient study room for working at home occasionally. A steel unit shelf is set along the whole wall, providing abundant storage space which allows him to keep only the necessary tools on the desktop. The study room also accommodates Mr. Cheung's hobby goods and decorations, serving as a space for both work and leisure.

Living Room
In the long-shaped living room, a carpet of contrasting colour to the floor is applied to address the lounge area. Reading or relaxing on the sofa under afternoon sunlight is what the couple enjoys the most. The choice of Unit Sofa enables a flexible combination which the number of seats can be extended easily when the number of family members increases in the future.
Being coffee lovers, the couple keeps coffee making tools and other refreshments in a cabinet besides the sofa to enjoy coffee anytime. Placing the cabinet on the route from kitchen to sofa makes the action of "preparing hot water → making coffee → sitting down" swift and smooth.
Save storage space by removing outer packages of refreshments. Arrange them vertically in a PP Arrangement Box helps you pick whatever you want immediately. Use sealed glass containers to store coffee beans and sugar cubes.
Wooden Stacking Shelf is assembled as an AV rack. While scattered items are stored in drawers on lower shelf for a neat visual effect, the couple's favourite decorations and books can be displayed on upper shelf for adding a personal touch to the living space.
Cluttering of household groceries such as electric appliances, medicines and repairing tools is a common cause to a messy home environment. To make the interior look tidy, hide the scattered household goods into drawers. Use suitable storage accessories to further divide the storage space for small and irregular shaped items.

Acrylic Storage helps organise your desktop stationery while keeping them visible and easy to pick. To raise working efficiency, prepare a drawer case to categorise different types of documents such as pending, completed and reference materials.
Mr. Cheung uses semi-transparent PP Storage to keep material samples, making them slightly visible without disturbing the harmony of interior environment. Drawings larger than A4 can be kept in rolls in a storage basket of appropriate size.
Reference books and magazines that are not frequently used can be placed at the lower part of the shelf. Arrange them systematically with the use of Stainless Steel Baskets or Hard Pulp Boxes.
Bedroom
Matching the colour of wall, Mr. & Mrs Cheung select a set of light coloured bed linen to bring a harmonious tone. Minimise the clustering of belongings in the bedroom for a pleasant sleeping environment. Only necessary apparels are kept in the wardrobe, while off-season and less frequently used items are stored inside PP Drawers under the bed.
Arrange folded clothes vertically inside your drawer or storage box. It helps distinguish and pick the clothes efficiently.
Stoles and bags of irregular shape can be kept in PP File Boxes. With finger holes at the bottom, the File Boxes can be reached easily even placed at upper height.
Kitchen
After work, the couple prefers dining at home as much as they can to enjoy a healthy meal as well as a moment of their own.
Mrs Cheung often prepares the week's ingredients or side dishes on weekends to save dinner preparation time on weekdays. Sealed containers with breathing valve help keep food fresh. Water and cold resistant Soft PE Case can be used to store ingredients of larger size.
Utilise storage space inside and outside cabinet doors by using a door hook. It is a space efficient way to hang everyday kitchen tools like hand towel, apron, rubbish bag or wiping cloth.
For utensils of different shapes and materials, categorise and keep separately by functionality or material according to your preference.
Flat kitchenware such as plates and pans can be stored vertically inside PP File Boxes, making them easy to pick and keeping the cabinet space unified and neat.
Create a Cozy Atmosphere
Lighting, colour, fragrance and temperature are elements that affect one's mood. Therefore, in addition to the notion of tidiness when organising living environment, it is also important to reserve enough space for mood boosters such as green plants, art pieces, light decoration or aroma items.
