It is said that every owner will experience such a mental journey: before the decoration is a little white, afraid of being deceived by unscrupulous companies, and then make up for various decoration experience posts, thinking that the decoration can be smooth sailing from now on, but the ending is a big circle or back to the starting point, there are pits where there are still pits, it is not an exaggeration to say that the decoration is to upgrade and fight monsters. However, in the editor's opinion, although decoration is a difficult road, there are some homework that should be done or have to be done, and maybe one day it will save you tens of thousands. Therefore, the editor has taken stock of the 10 common "failures" in decoration, and I hope you will not be stupid into the pit, otherwise the money will be spent and the house will be destroyed, which will be too cost-effective.
There is no space under the entryway cabinet
The entrance is a very functional space, and some owners basically ask designers to install a top-to-ceiling entrance cabinet here in order to maximize the storage capacity, thinking that this is "flawless". In fact, for people who understand life, leaving a 20 cm space under the entrance cabinet will be more in line with our actual life. This reserved space can be used to place commonly used home shoes, and when you get home to change shoes, you no longer have to go through a series of actions such as "opening the cabinet - taking shoes - changing shoes - putting shoes - closing the cabinet", and you can directly sweep and push with your feet, how convenient!
Install too many open cabinets
It is said that storage is very important, so the open cabinet is lined up one after another, but have you ever thought about what it looks like when it is cleaned? The ash that can never be wiped off makes you want to die! So if your home is not equipped with a fresh air system, Xiaobian advises you not to play too many open cabinets, those that have been installed have already cried and fainted in the toilet!
There are no lights under the wall cabinet
There are no lights under the kitchen wall cabinets, and this kind of failure seems to have always happened. Although more and more people have this common sense, there will always be people who will jump into the pit. After moving in, I realized how failed the kitchen without lights under the wall cabinet was, and it was completely in a state of "catching blind" at night, and I didn't dare to cut the vegetables quickly!
The kitchen sink is glossy
Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to the texture of the space, so they can't stand the recommendation of the merchant, so they choose the smooth sink as soon as the brain is hot. As a result, after cleaning the sink several times, it was found that the smooth sink was particularly easy to leave scratches, and it was mottled after a long time, so it was better to choose a rough sink, and the price was much cheaper.
Small bathroom with bathtub
Small bathroom with bathtub, do you really think it's OK? Seriously, the bathtub looks very bourgeoisie, but in fact, in the end, it is basically reduced to chicken ribs, put water for half an hour, take a bath for five minutes, and clean for two hours. What was a dream of taking a bath turned into "standing in the bathtub and showering" in the end! What's more, the small bathroom space is not large, and it is so crowded that I want to cry after installing a bathtub!
There is no socket reserved next to the toilet
There are many benefits of reserving a socket next to the toilet, one is to go to the toilet and play with your mobile phone until there is no power, and it will be particularly convenient to have an outlet on the side. The second is to change the smart toilet, if you don't reserve the socket in the early stage, you don't have to change it.
I bought inferior hardware cheaply
Although hardware is an accessory, but it is really important, if you are greedy for cheap, buy inferior hardware, you will find that there will be problems everywhere, you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to decorate the house may be ruined in these details!
Bought cheap glass glue
In order to save the budget, some people feel that the main materials cannot be saved, so they should save auxiliary materials. As a result, I chose cheap glass glue, but within a few months of moving in, there was a phenomenon of blackening and mold, which was particularly ugly, and no matter how beautiful the basin was, it would not help.
The bathroom did not make a drainage slope
It can be said that this is a matter of common sense, and this situation will not occur, but if your family chooses to decorate the guerrillas or unfortunately meets a careless master, then it is very likely that you will not be given this link. If you don't do the drainage slope, you will have to endure the embarrassing scene of your feet being directly soaked in dirty water every time you take a bath, so the details are very important, choose a reliable decoration company!
Leave empty above the wardrobe
Leave a space above the wardrobe, originally just to put the suitcase, but when you do, you will find that the roof of the wardrobe and the suitcase are full of dust, and it is particularly difficult to clean. So if it's a custom wardrobe, be sure to design it to the top by the designer so as not to leave a hygienic dead end.
The above are the 10 major decoration "failures" summarized by the editor, I hope to help you avoid the pit smoothly and don't spend money in vain!
