2. In humid areas in the south, it is recommended to keep a ventilation gap of 5-8cm between the beam and the cabinet.
3. For modern style, it is recommended to use painted boards, while for Chinese style, solid wood clad beams can be considered.
4. Installing sensor light strips can improve the convenience of use, and the cost will increase by about 200-300 yuan.
Through reasonable design, the beam in the middle of the wardrobe can not only be cleverly resolved, but also become the highlight of the space design. It is recommended that owners choose the most suitable solution based on the actual room structure, budget and personal preferences.
