The six major decoration details are more worthy of attention than the flashy design
When renovating a new home for the first time, due to lack of experience, people often listen to the advice of people who have come before or refer to online information, whether it is for the sake of beauty or following the trend, and may end up with unsatisfactory results.
During the second renovation, you will realize that the fundamental purpose of the house is to live in. It's not enough to look good for a while, it's really about practicality, comfort and ease of maintenance.
The following are the six decoration details summarized by Mu Mu, which will only be valued in the second decoration, and they are far more important than those fancy styling designs.
A sub-clean area is a place dedicated to storing laundry that has only been worn once and does not need to be washed.
It is very important to have a clean area in the home, and many people ignore this point when decorating, only to find that there is nowhere to put their coats, sweaters and scarves that have been worn for a day but do not need to be washed, etc., and can only be piled on a stool, which not only looks disorganized, but also wrinkles the clothes.
At this point, you will regret that you didn't take into account the establishment of a sub-clean area.
It is recommended to plan two sub-cleaning areas at home:
One is located near the entrance door and is used to hang daily coats, bags and other clothes that are in direct contact with the outside world; Consider an integrated design with a shoe cabinet.
The other place should be located in the bedroom to hang clothes such as sweaters, autumn pants, home clothes, etc., to keep them tidy; Consider an integrated design with the wardrobe or set up a separate sub-clean area.
Many people choose to add a dryer to their renovation to skip the drying process and free up balcony space.
However, after actual use, it was found that this layout was not reasonable.
▲ Balcony side drying area
Although the dryer is convenient, it is not suitable for hand washing such as underwear, towels and socks, etc., and the drying area is particularly important at this time.
Therefore, whether you have several washers or dryers in your home, it is advisable to have a drying area that can be strategically placed in a more secluded corner of the balcony.
How many people have blindly followed the design style of a door-to-top cabinet door? Although this design can improve the overall sense of the wall and visual simplicity, it has no advantages other than aesthetics in actual use.
First of all, the height of the door-to-top cabinet door is usually limited to 4.0m, and a straightener needs to be installed to prevent deformation, but this cannot completely avoid possible problems in the later stage.
Secondly, in order to maintain a clean appearance, these doors often do not use surface-mounted handles but choose elastic presses, which can be opened and closed smoothly over a long period of time is entirely a matter of luck.
In addition, the door has to be taken back every time it is opened to avoid bumps, and the gap between the door and the floor is about 8 mm, making cleaning more difficult.
Finally, in order to ensure aesthetics, the cabinet must be kept minimalist around the perimeter, and if the reserved seal is too wide, it will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, for long-term practical considerations, segmented design of the cabinet door is more recommended.
As we all know, bathrooms need to be waterproofed, and some people even propose that the walls are fully waterproof. However, the waterproofing of the bathroom door should not be ignored either.
After many years, many people will find that the wall at the door of the bathroom has problems such as mold, blistering, falling off the baseboard, and rotting at the bottom of the door cover, which is usually due to water seepage caused by the waterproofing details of the door.
Before carrying out the waterproofing construction of the bathroom, it is best to lay the sill stone and apply waterproof material on the side to form a waterproof slope to effectively prevent water leakage.
For units with only one balcony, a washing machine and a sink are usually placed here, and the floor drain is set up to deal with emergencies such as broken or leaking water pipes, so that the water flow can be drained in time to reduce losses.
In addition, if the balcony has a large window and forgets to close the window, rainwater will enter and the inability to drain the water in time will cause more cleaning work.
Therefore, it is recommended to reserve a floor drain for the balcony during hydropower construction, and if you are worried about affecting the appearance, you can choose an invisible floor drain.
Plasterboard ceilings may be used for the first renovation, which may look simple and beautiful at first, but will soon regret it.
Although the kitchen is equipped with a range hood, it still cannot completely eliminate the oil smoke, and the original white top will be stained with black oil stains and difficult to clean over time.
The situation is even worse in the restrooms, which, despite the use of high-quality drywall and paint, are limited to being "water-resistant" rather than completely waterproof, and can become moldy and peeling over time.
If water seeps from upstairs, the entire roof surface may be damaged, which is far less practical and durable than ordinary integrated ceilings.
Conclusion: Over time, you will find that those background walls and shapes that spend a lot of money and effort to create will eventually cause aesthetic fatigue; If the design lacks rationality and practicality in the details, then no matter how attractive the appearance is, it will only be "useless" in the end.
