House renovation taboos: remember the house thousand
1. Regret engaging in an open kitchen due to fumes.
2. I regret that there are no small water treasures in the bathroom and kitchen, so the hot water comes quickly and is more convenient to use.
3. Regret using a range hood, European style, good-looking or not, should use Chinese style.
4. I regret that there are less power sockets installed, and there are drag boards everywhere in the house. You should install as many as you can.
5. I regret that there is no reserved power socket next to the toilet, and the washlet cannot be installed.
6. Bathtub PK shower. If you choose one of the two, it is still recommended to take a shower. The bathtub is installed, and not a few people have never taken a bath. Shower does not refer to the shower room. The glass of the shower room is still very tiring to wipe, and you can also choose to hang a shower curtain.
7. If there are two bathrooms, it is still necessary to install a bathtub. Bubble large clothes and help the baby take a bath are all good choices. The Jacuzzi is not necessary, and it cannot be soaked a few times. It is also very expensive.
8. Regret that the kitchen is not equipped with air conditioning.
9. If you like to surf the Internet, reserve at least two network ports and more than two sockets on each wall of each room. Wireless routing can indeed solve the problem, but it is said that it is still unstable at times.
10. I regret that the kitchen flue has not been punched out. Now as long as someone is cooking in the building, their own range hood must be turned on at the same time, otherwise the room will smell of oil fumes.
11. The location of various sockets in the room is deviated from the size of the furniture purchased later, wasting a lot of sockets.
12. If you can buy it in the mall, don't ask carpentry to do it!!!! Unless the carpentry is quite good.
13. The color of the floor should be slightly lighter, and it is not easy to see gray. Instead, the kitchen and bathroom floor tiles should be slightly darker, and it is not easy to find hair everywhere, which is the most resistant to dirt.
14. It is best to install a ceiling fan in the restaurant, which is super comfortable.
15. Try to have as much storage space as possible, and more and more sundries will need to be stored after moving in.
16. The walls of balconies are best made of ceramic tiles, which are more waterproof than paint.
17. I regret buying so many lamps, but in fact, there are only a few fixed ones.
18. Super regret that the toilet vanity is glass, which is super easy to get dirty. Ceramic should be used.
19. What you buy is not what you sell. You must believe that the stuffing will not fall off in the sky for no reason. A house is renovated in units of 10,000 yuan. You should go to the market to have a look. Shopping around will never go out of style.
20. I regret that I forgot to install a switch at the bedside, and I have to get out of bed to turn off the lights every time. It's very sad in winter.
21. Regret buying cheap hardware, bathroom hardware, faucets, etc. You get what you pay for.
22. When decorating, try not to leave places that cannot be wiped. It is difficult to maintain hygiene in dead corners.
23. Families who plan to have children in the future must calculate the size and reserve a place for a crib next to the bed.
24. It is recommended that all faucets be equipped with hot and cold water pipes. It will not cost a lot of money to install more during decoration. It is super difficult to remedy it later.
25. The fewer impractical arrangements in the room, the better. If the RMB is pasted on, it will not be torn off. Sooner or later it will become outdated.
26. When buying anything, pay attention to the size of the door inside the house. Don't buy it and can't move it in.
27. Solid wood flooring feels good but requires maintenance. Composite flooring is easy to clean.
28. Regret buying an invisible door. If you don't like it, it's troublesome to open it for ventilation.
29. Walk-in closets are good, but they are easier to accumulate dust. Open bookshelves, shelves, etc. (the kind without doors) look good, but they are so painful to wipe, especially books, a layer of dust.
30. The lampshade must not be washed up. After hanging it up, just wait for the dust to accumulate.
31. The project of installing the breakout box of the leakage protector and air switch cannot be saved enough, and it should not be placed outdoors but indoors. Originally, the old breakout box outside the door was used to save money. The electrician suggested replacing it indoors. Now I find his suggestion very valuable.
32. Leakage protectors and air switches must be brand-name.
33. The basin under the stage is more delicate, good-looking and easy to clean than the basin on the stage. Pay attention to the faucet under the stage. Considering the thickness of the basin edge, the faucet mouth should be longer.
34. The top corner of the wall is beautiful without any decoration, but it is necessary to make it clear to the painter in advance when looking for a painter. The top corner elastic line helps to straighten the top corner line.
35. It is important to treat the cement surface of the online tank with a cleaning ball before batching putty.
36. Gypsum is suitable for filling larger holes in the wall. Of course, if the hole is too large, cement is still required.
37. Protect the back of the frosted glass from paint, it is difficult to clean!
38. The vegetable basin faucet must be switched on and off with the back of the hand. It is not easy to keep it clean with your fingers. It is also difficult to turn it when there is oil on your hands.
39. The price of luxury automatic drying racks is too high. After comparison, it was found that some unknown brands outperformed first-line brands in structural design, but their prices were much lower.
40. You can consider using a metal socket installed on the ground. This socket is expensive for more than 100 yuan, but it is very convenient. It is usually flush with the ground and can pop out the socket with one step. It is suitable for large living rooms. Or it can be installed under the dining room table to plug in hot pot (to prevent wires from hanging when walking back and forth).
41. Storage room. I regret not making the cabinet door, and the contents are particularly prone to dust.
42. I regret buying a bed with a cabinet below to save space. Super airtight.
43. Unpractical double-bar towel rack! At present, it is the same as the single-bar use, and it is basically not used to hang towels on the inner rod.
44. Also, do not install door-panel trash cans and countertop trash cans. It will stink when you open the cabinet door in summer. It is better to leave the trash can outside.
45. The small cabinet next to the dining table is good, and it is very convenient to place some items.
46. The performance requirements of the mop bucket are not high, so you can build one yourself and lay tiles or mosaics that match the surrounding environment, which is both beautiful and saves money.
47. The bathroom can be used to nail or install clothes hooks to hang things.
48. The bathroom is designed with a small closet to store clothes, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to take clean clothes in the shower.
49. The washing machine belt drying is seriously unpractical. Except for the only yellow and moldy days in the year, it is also very evil. Thick clothes and bath towels still can't be dried, how good it is to let the sun disinfect them. I have overdrawn and need to save some silver.
50. I made a laundry sink in the laundry room to wash some things by hand. I thought I would use less, so I bought a very cheap faucet. I didn't expect this laundry sink to be so convenient that it became the most frequently used washing area in my house. What rags, socks, floor towels, all wash in it, and even most of my hands are there.
51. I regret installing the light strip. It's useless, I haven't turned it on since the decoration is done. When a guest comes, I just SHOW the spotlight, and I forgot to install it at all. It turned out that I wanted to open a PARTY romantically, but now there are not many opportunities to turn on the spotlight.
52. The greatest insight is that the simpler the decoration, the better, with less pollution, less money, and less worry.
53. Practical things: ① A well-designed storage room. ② A sink for washing dirt on the north balcony. The difference between the washbasin in the bathroom and the sink for washing vegetables and dishes in the kitchen. ③ A faucet that can be pulled out to wash hair in the bathroom. (Exception for TX that never washes hair in the basin). ④ A floor that is easy to clean and suitable cleaning tools. ⑤ A countertop work light in the kitchen.
54. When buying a toilet, you must measure your own hole spacing. If you don't buy it, you can return it.
55. After the kitchen floor tiles are pasted, it is best to measure the level before drying to see if the lowest point is the floor drain. If you don't wait until they are dry, you can wrangle with the decoration team, and a lot of cells will die.
56. The shower room in the bathroom must be large enough and use transparent glass, so that it will not appear cramped when taking a shower inside.
57. The tile seam should not be hooked with white cement. It turned into a black seam within a month, which was ugly. As a result, I bought a seam agent and hooked it myself, which was tiring.
58. There should be a back wooden board under the artificial stone of the cabinet, but after installation, I found that there is no one. Now I dare not cut meat on it. I promised to reinstall it for almost two months and it has not been installed yet (I only came to polish it once).
59. Regret believing in the designer's bewitchment. Of course, you can visit several decoration companies and extract something really useful from each design. The key is how you want to dress your home.
60. If the original manufacturer or developer of the floor drain has already installed that deodorant "bowl", do not take it out.
61. After the bathroom floor tiles are pasted, test the water. If the running water is relatively slow, rework immediately. The running water in my house is relatively slow, so my heart softened at that time. Now there is always a little water in the shower, which makes our main guard's shower head of hundreds of silver idle. Now he is always thinking about how to remedy it.
62. When installing the wash basin, consider the relative position of the mirror, the shelf for the brushing cup, and the towel rack.
63. When buying a mirror, consider the position of the mirror headlight. If you don't want to install the mirror headlight for the time being, the size of the mirror should be able to cover the line reserved for the mirror headlight.
64. Make a small cabinet on the balcony where the washing machine is placed, which is convenient for placing some sundries, such as those in the washing powder. It is both beautiful and practical.
65. Be sure to keep an eye on the upstairs for waterproofing.... Otherwise, water will drip down the upstairs, causing the wall of the hanging cabinet to be in a mess.
66. Some things are cheaper to bargain on their own than group buying.
67. The TV background wall must have several more sockets. As soon as the TV and DVD are placed, you will find that the sockets are not enough. A two-end curved PVC pipe can be pre-buried inside, and the power cord enters from one end and comes out directly to the back of the TV, which is very, very useful.
68. Before changing the waterway, you must consider the large sample of the washbasin you will install in the future, such as whether it is a left basin or a right basin, and where the water intake and drainage should be located. Otherwise, after changing it, you will find that the washbasin you like cannot hold it!
69. Regarding curtains, it is best for everyone to keep a copy of the size for themselves and explain to the boss that the size cannot be reduced. If it is missing, what's wrong. Or watch him cut the cloth yourself.
70. The construction process of decoration: (1) Approach the site, dismantle the wall, and build the wall. (2) 24-hour closed water test for toilet and kitchen floor (developers need to complete this task). (3) Chisel trough, water and electricity transformation and acceptance. (4) Seal the buried wire trough to conceal the water and electricity transformation project, and start the waterproof project without leakage in the closed water experiment. (5) Bathroom and kitchen to stick magnetic sheets on the wall. (6) Woodworking to enter the site, hanging ceiling, gypsum angle line. (7) Wrap door covers, window covers. Make wooden cabinet frames. (8) Simultaneous production of various wooden doors, modeling doors and flat pressing. (9) Wooden panels are brushed with dust-proof paint (clear oil). (10) Window sill marble countertops are leveled and laid. ( 11) Wood veneer board paste, line making and fine installation. (12) Wall base treatment, sanding, leveling. (13) Household goods, stick self-adhesive (protective edge) at the joints by the door. (14) Wall oil ICI at least three times. (15) Furniture paint into the field, nail eyes, paint. (16) Treatment of corners, laying floor tiles, solid wood or composite wood floors, waterproof marble strips, skirting. (17) Lighting, sanitary ware, handle, door lock installation and debugging. (18) Cleaning up sanitation, floor tile patching, withdrawal. (19) Interior preliminary acceptance of the decoration company. (20) Three-party appointment time formal acceptance, delivery to the owner.
71. Before installing the valve of the flue back, be sure to wipe it clean to ensure that the valve can be switched on and off freely and opened to the maximum, otherwise it will affect the smoke exhaust effect of the range hood. You can leave two pieces uninstalled when installing the ceiling, and then install the ceiling after the range hood is installed and tried correctly.
72. In such a large space as the living room and dining room, the ceiling can be left undone.
73. If you regret not thinking about the air conditioner position when routing, you should move the power supply as close to the air conditioner as possible to avoid seeing a power cord when installing the air conditioner.
74. Personally measure and record the various dimensions available in the house. You can cover the dimensions on the floor plan and then re-wire them. The final size will directly affect the decoration design and furniture purchase.
75. For small apartments with poor lines, choosing black walnuts is always not atmospheric enough. At this time, you need to make trade-offs, or accommodate reality or cling to your own ideas. Of course, it is best to take into account both.
76. Start looking for decorators. If it's not a particularly large apartment and you plan to simply decorate it, it seems more cost-effective to find guerrillas. It's best to introduce it after someone else has installed it, and you have seen it with your own eyes and agreed with it. Especially the feeling of the person in charge of the decoration is more important. The sense of responsibility and the level of appreciation are more critical. The former is more critical, because if it's just a simple decoration, in fact, those who work almost outside will do it, but the quality depends on the sense of responsibility.
77. The main furniture such as sofas, wardrobes, dining tables and chairs, cabinets, etc. should also be seen in advance. If you run around, you will be too tired. You can find a few large home squares with good shopping environment to stroll around, and the basic trend will be seen. Therefore, the next thing you have to do is to slowly screen out the right things according to your expected style. Some people have a good grasp of the style, while others have an accurate grasp of the color. It doesn't matter. Anyway, there is still time to consider. If you wait until the decoration is cleared, it is inevitable that you will finally accept the furniture rather than like it very much.
78. Regret buying a blended fabric sofa. Buy pure cotton for any textiles placed outside the home. The appearance really doesn't matter. Especially if you plan to have children in the future or have already given birth.
Finally, I would like to share with you a little trick: it is best to write down the size of the furniture that you have already looked forward to, and then go to the room to virtual the future decoration. The necessary documents when purchasing things must be kept well, which is absolutely beneficial for the possible return and exchange situations later. Especially the shopping receipts, instructions, etc. of some important items, because many things have a warranty period, it will be more troublesome to lose the vouchers.
