The not-so-attractive electric meter box, the messy water heater pipes, the crooked air-conditioning ducts... Many friends are already thinking about covering up the ugly things before they even move in.

Today we will talk about covering up ugliness in the home, including electric meter boxes, wall repairs, range hood ducts, threshold stones, TV cables, etc., and share with you low-cost and easy-to-use ugliness-covering skills.

Read to the end, there is useful information!

Electricity meter box

Clever use of blank canvas frames

Hanging paintings or custom kits can cover the electric meter box, but not just any one you buy will look good . It must be in line with your own decoration style. Otherwise, it will go in the wrong direction and fail to achieve the purpose of covering up the ugliness, but make it more conspicuous.

Our client's house has a Japanese log style. In order to find a covering that matches the style, we searched the entire Internet and finally customized this wooden meter box kit.

If you want to save time, you might as well use a blank canvas frame to cover it. It is simple and inconspicuous.

The prices of oil canvases of different sizes vary slightly, but an oil canvas frame the size of an electric meter box can be purchased for about ten yuan.

Installation does not require any skills. If the meter box has a cover, you can directly buckle the canvas on it; if there is no cover, fix it with traceless nails.

Pay attention to the back panel style, choose the one below

▼

But be careful with the "colorful" white . Compare carefully whether the white of the canvas is close to the color of your wall. It is best to discuss with the store and look at the actual photos.

Customized U-shaped acrylic sheet

It costs about 30 yuan to customize the U-shaped acrylic plate, and then spend another three or five yuan to buy a few snap fasteners and fix them to the previous meter box.

When measuring the size of the meter box, don't be too rigid. It is best to add 3 to 5 cm to the original size of the meter box to avoid it being too small to block the view. Customized acrylic sheets cannot be returned.

This method does not require removing the original cover of the meter box . If the meter box is curved, just increase the height of the U-shaped acrylic board.

Tempered glass decorative panels

Compared with the first two methods, tempered glass panels are slightly more expensive, but have a better texture and are more suitable for homes that are empty and have a minimalist style.

During installation, the original cover needs to be removed for better fit, and it looks thinner and lighter from the side, not bulky.

Image source: Taobao Buyer Show

You can find it by searching the keyword "tempered glass panel meter box" in the shopping software. The price is mostly around 200 yuan.

I visited many stores, but the only white color they had was pure white, and I couldn't see any samples. To avoid color differences, don't just look at the pictures on the product details page; ask the store to take a few real pictures and compare them with your own walls.

As for measurement, don't be too rigid about the size. In order to block the meter box, you usually need to add about 10cm to the length and width . You can discuss the specific situation with the store.

Universal perforated board

There is an electric meter box and a multimedia box on the same wall. If you cover the two places separately, it may be too abrupt . You can customize a perforated board for the entire wall.

I've seen a lot of Taobao buyer shows, and the effect is pretty good. You can also make use of the useless space to hang clothes, hats, and masks.

Measure the size according to the reference drawing provided by the merchant . The installation is not difficult. Just drill holes and install it with expansion screws. If you don’t have the tools at home, you can find a master in the property.

Water heater pipeline

Upgraded pegboard

There are many pipes under the water heater, which look unsightly. They are usually covered with perforated boards, which can also be used to hang small kitchen items.

To save trouble, everyone only covers one side, because the entire enclosure requires buying three pieces of perforated boards, which you have to DIY yourself.

Photo source: Zhufaner

There is now this upgraded perforated board available online. It can be installed in one step without having to assemble it yourself or punch holes, making it easier and more convenient to operate.

Venetian blinds/louvered doors

If you plan to hide the entire water heater instead of just covering the pipes, you can plan ahead and customize it at the same time as the cabinets. The cabinet doors can be made into louvered doors to ensure ventilation and a more integrated look.

Or you can customize it at the same time as the cabinets, and instead of making a cabinet door at the water heater position, use blinds instead , which can also achieve a coordinated and unified visual effect.

You can also customize PVC water heater decorative covers online, which is more cost-effective.

Range hood duct

If you have enough storage space, you can choose not to install wall cabinets, which not only saves money but also makes the kitchen look extra large . As for the range hood duct, you can use the following two methods to cover it.

Range hood enclosure

Common colors of range hood panels are black, white, and silver, and they are available in brushed or mirrored styles. They look very coordinated and are cheaper than custom cabinets.

Price Reference

Taking the error into consideration, when measuring the dimensions, the height should be reduced by 1-2 cm and the width increased by 2-3 cm to avoid affecting the installation.

The installation is super easy, just place it directly on the range hood . If it feels unstable, you can use double-sided tape or glass glue to stick it on.

Custom decorative shields

If you think the range hood enclosure is not good-looking enough, you can learn from the Red Book blogger "Wanwan Expected" and customize a PVC cover.

But it is not as easy to clean as the fence , and is more suitable for families who mainly eat Western food or do not cook often.

Air conditioning pipelines

To be honest, there is no way to perfectly hide the air conditioning pipes through later repairs, so we can only try to weaken its existence as much as possible.

PS. We have previously written articles about the installation of air conditioner rear outlet pipes and hidden pipelines. If you are interested, you can send it to me privately.

hemp rope

If you are good at handicrafts, you can use hemp rope and small dolls to wrap the air conditioning duct, and the ugly pipe will instantly become cute. It is suitable for warm decoration styles , such as grocery style and log style.

Paint

Keep the latex paint left over from painting the wall and paint the air conditioning ducts the same color as the wall. It may not be easy to paint the first time , so you need to be patient and paint it several times.

The overall look is very coordinated, but it is a bit labor-intensive.

PVC air conditioner protective cover

The air conditioning pipe is quite long, so I recommend buying a PVC air conditioning protective cover. It may not be particularly beautiful, but at least it is not an eyesore. It is also very cost-effective and can be done for just over ten yuan.

Wall repair

Wall bumps

If there are minor bumps on the wall, you can repair them yourself. Prepare a scraper, sandpaper, repair paste, wool brush, and roller in advance.

Image source: Taobao

The most important thing is to prepare latex paint of the same color. It is best to have some left over from renovation so that you don’t have to worry about color difference.

If not, buy latex paint of the same brand and color number, use a small bottle of latex paint or a small roller. Even then, there is a high probability of color difference.

Image source: Taobao

When repairing, first fill it with repair paste, smooth it with a scraper, and after it dries, sand it with sandpaper, and finally apply latex paint. If the hole in the wall is particularly large, you need to hang a small net first , and then follow the previous order.

If there are tables, cabinets, etc. placed around the wall hole, you can choose matching hooks and handles to cover them , so there is no need to repair them to avoid color difference.

Image source: Taobao

If you encounter a large area of ​​peeling wall paint and there are babies at home, you can simply stick a whiteboard on it for the children to draw on.

There is dirt on the wall

If you accidentally get it dirty when moving furniture, or if you leave handprints or footprints, you can just use wall cleaning cream, but marks left by watercolor pens and markers cannot be wiped clean.

Image source: Taobao

threshold stone

You can cover the threshold stone by applying film. Search "furniture film" and "floor sticker" in the shopping app . You will find a wide range of colors and styles, including cream, small flower tiles, cement, wood grain, etc. You can choose a color similar to your own floor.

Applying film is a delicate job. If you are not good at it, don’t make it difficult for yourself. It’s better to find a professional master.

TV cable

Hidden in the PVC pipe groove

Arrange the wires, stuff them into the PVC pipe groove, and then use the TV cabinet to cover them , and the effect will be immediate.

Image source: Xiaohongshu Blogger almost grew up to be a beauty

Before placing an order, determine the number of wires that need to be stored and organized. Some cable organizers have single holes for single wires to prevent them from being insufficient.

Image source: Taobao

Hiding behind the TV

Use the perforated board to hide the set-top box, socket, remote control, and various wires behind it. Note that the TV at home uses an infrared remote control, so the set-top box still needs to be exposed a little.

Image source: Taobao Buyer Show

Preburied pipes

This method requires advance planning, and 50 pipes should be pre-buried during the water and electricity renovation stage. The TV cable is passed through the pipes, and then the TV cabinet is used to block the socket , which can perfectly hide the TV cable.

radiator

To be honest, most radiators are not very good-looking. As long as they blend into the overall decoration of the home and don’t look out of place, there is no need to cover them up.

The radiator was not replaced during the renovation of the second-hand house, which really affects the appearance. You can customize a cover. Taobao has them, but the styles are relatively limited, most of them are like the picture below, but they are enough to cover the ugly.

Image source: Taobao Buyer Show

If you have higher requirements for appearance, you can find the style you like and look for customized design and production of the whole house.

That’s the end of sharing about covering up blemishes at home. Everyone is welcome to share your own skills in covering up blemishes in the comment section. You can also leave a message if you have any confusions about covering up blemishes.

What are some decoration designs that require money to learn?

Original Post on February 13, 2023, 10:31 AM · Zhufaner

Lu Wei once said that home decoration should be both "livable and commercial ," maximizing the comfort of the home. However, some trendy and unreasonable interior designs put the cart before the horse, costing you money and only making your life worse.

We have summarized 20 common anti-human designs. Take a look at how many of them you have in your home!

Do not decorate large areas with dark colors if the lighting is poor

Dark-colored decoration has become popular in recent years. Dark walls, black and gray tiles, custom cabinets and furniture can be seen everywhere . My home also uses a part of gray as the background wall.

The minimalist style of black, white and gray is not easy to fail, and it is indeed one of the simple and high-end techniques.

Image source: Internet

However, if your home is on a lower floor or there is not enough light, it is recommended to use large areas of dark colors with caution.

A large number of failure cases have proved that large areas of dark decoration will affect the lighting. The sun is shining outside, but the interior is gloomy and dark, and lights have to be turned on even in broad daylight.

Image source: Douyin@695856128

Especially the hard decoration part, which is difficult to dismantle and modify. If you don’t like the deep and mysterious feeling, you must think about it in advance.

After all, once a house is renovated, it will take about 5 to 10 years to renovate it.

If you like colorful walls, you can choose to do it partially , such as background wall, half wall, special-shaped wall, etc.

Large slabs and tiles for false paving

The tiles are getting bigger and bigger, but the laying skills of the craftsmen are not getting better and better.

When buying large-sized tiles for laying throughout the house, you must ask the merchant to provide a laying diagram, determine the starting position , and communicate with the tile laying master. Otherwise, what should you do if the effect ends up like that of a certain book blogger @汐~蔚家?

The brick-laying master is showing off his knife skills here!

At this time, do not save on bricks where they should not be saved. Design the paving pattern according to the size and choose the method of paving with the seams aligned .

When a narrow strip is unavoidable , try to keep it in the corners of the bedroom and living room , where it can be blocked by furniture.

Mosaic tiles please be careful

Retro mosaic tiles are very popular recently, but I urge you to be cautious.

Mosaic tiles require very high laying technology. They look beautiful, but that is all due to the money spent .

If it is installed well, it is art; if it is not installed well, it is ugly and a nightmare of trypophobia .

Avoid mindless linear lights

In today's design, no matter what style your home is, it is recommended that you install more light strips to create a sense of atmosphere.

No matter how beautiful it is, most people still only turn on the main light, and the linear light strips are left to collect dust.

Lighting arrangement is very important for creating home atmosphere, and there are many forms of lighting arrangement.

If the whole house is not designed to have no main lights, it is enough to decorate the walls and ceilings except for necessary places such as stairs, under cabinets, entrances, and under beds .

Minimalist wardrobe doors should cover the border

They all have custom-made wardrobes, but why do some people’s wardrobes look good while others’ look ugly?

After careful comparison, I found that there is a big difference between the design borders and hidden borders of custom wardrobes.

My friend's house is like this. Although it also has invisible cabinet doors with rebounders, I always feel that there are too many lines and a serious sense of division. Later, when I compared it with my friend's house, I realized that it was all caused by the cabinet frames.

Fortunately, the problem was discovered in time and the soft furnishings were matched well later. Although the process was bumpy, the whole house still looks relatively complete.

Here is a reminder for everyone, if you want to make the custom cabinet minimalist and invisible, you must make sure that the door panels cover the frame , so that the effect looks perfect.

Don't ignore the thickness of the quilt when using tatami as a bed

First of all, it is not recommended to use tatami as a bed . It is expensive and not breathable. Small apartments need storage functions, so it is more economical to choose a storage bed.

If you just want to use tatami, remember to consider the height of the quilt .

Generally, tatami mats have cabinets directly connected to the bed, and the reserved height is not enough.

Only the cushion is fine. When you put down the mattress and quilt, the opening and closing of the cabinet door is affected.

Image source: Zhufaner self-photographed

To avoid this situation, you need to reserve more than 20cm under the cabinet , or make it a sliding door, or you can make an open grid of a certain height underneath and then make a wardrobe on this basis.

Image source: Youzhufaner self-photographed

In addition, when using tatami as a bed, do not use the unpacking design as shown above . You have to lift up the entire bed to get something. You can make it into a drawer, which makes it much more convenient to take things from the side.

Do not leave the table light in the middle of the restaurant

Many families place the dining table lights centered on the dining room , which makes the light unfocused and leaves everyone in shadows when eating at the dining table.

Image source: Zhufaner self-photographed

The restaurant lights should be installed directly above the dining table so that the light is focused on the food, making the meal more appetizing.

The height of the chandelier with lampshade should be 70~80cm from the table top . One chandelier is enough for a round table or square table, and 2~3 chandeliers are enough for a long table.

Image source: Zhufaner self-photographed

If it is a fully furnished house or the light position has been determined and the displacement distance is short, you can consider replacing it with a large light panel to cover it.

There are those light cord shifters on Taobao , which just have an extra lamp holder , and there are even special shift lights, but they are still a bit ugly.

Image source: Taobao buyer show

You can also drill a hole in the ceiling directly above the dining table, install a hook, use a fishing line to hang the chandelier , pull it from the original lamp position, and hang it on the hook.

It would look better if the lamp cord hung down more.

Or plug the chandelier's cord into a nearby outlet.

You can also use floor fishing lamps and long-arm wall lamps to flexibly change the light source you need.

Choose a pull-down faucet

Everyone knows the benefits of pull-out faucets. They are more flexible than fixed faucets and can flush every corner of the sink.

However, do not choose a kitchen sink with a pull-out pipe outlet facing forward . The outlet of this type of pull-out faucet is relatively short and positioned low, so water can easily splash out and flow down the pipe. Over time, the pull-out pipe will rust.

Choose a high-throw pull-out faucet with a long pipe and a downward-facing outlet. It is more convenient to use and there are no dead corners when flushing the sink.

Do not open the shower door inward

For shower rooms with swing doors, do not open the door inwards . If an accident occurs during use, people outside will not be able to get in, delaying rescue.

Image source: Zhufaner self-photographed

If the shower room does not have a threshold stone to block water, do not put a floor mat at the door , otherwise the floor mat will be pushed away when you open the door and will be useless.

Do not use antiseptic wood in the shower area

In addition to drainage, anti-slip is also the most concerned issue in the shower area.

But don't follow the example of hotels and bath centers, which use anti-corrosion wood floors to prevent slipping. It may appear that water is flowing underneath, but if you lift the anti-corrosion wood when people stand on it, the hair and dirt will make it impossible to eat.

The first choice for anti-slip is anti-slip floor tiles , which saves the trouble of adding anti-slip mats and anti-slip wood later. Most importantly, they are easy to maintain.

Lay the bricks at a good slope . After taking a shower, dandruff and dirt will be washed away by the water. You only need to clean the hair collected in the floor drain.

Do not install floor sockets in small apartments

Before the renovation, I also thought about installing a floor socket and placing it in the dining room for convenient hot pot eating, or placing it under the coffee table to charge mobile phones.

But now thinking about it, I'm glad I didn't do that.

Putting aside the fact that the number of times one eats hot pot is limited in a year, the fact that most family dining tables are placed against the wall and the sockets are installed on the wall makes it more convenient to use and take into account the length of electrical wires. There is no need to bend under the table to plug in the sockets.

Image source: Zhufaner self-photographed

The floor socket itself is not expensive, but the construction requires wiring in the ground and cutting grooves for laying the floor . Once a fault occurs, it is very troublesome to repair and basically it will be idle.

Mopping and sweeping the floor are obstacles in themselves, and you also need to pay attention to waterproofing.

Image source: Zhufaner self-photographed

Unless it is a very large apartment, the electrical appliances are in the middle of the room and are far away from the wall and cannot be reached when in use. Think about it carefully, for ordinary families with apartments below 140 square meters , this situation generally does not occur!

Eliminate ordinary five-hole sockets

The traditional five-hole socket is only suitable for a combination of ordinary small plugs and grounding plugs.

Today's plugs have increasingly diverse appearances, especially with the advent of various chargers. This design can no longer meet household needs.

When purchasing, you can choose between five regular holes with a large hole spacing or five staggered holes , which perfectly solves the embarrassment of only being able to use one position.

Image source: Shangzhufaner self-photographed Taobao buyer show

Kitchen countertops at the same height

The national standard cabinet countertop height is 80cm, but this height is only designed based on the average height of about 160~170cm.

In real life, the height of the cabinet countertop should be based on the person who cooks more in the family , so that it is more comfortable to operate.

Image source: Zhufaner fans’ comments

Taking this into consideration, merchants now generally provide three options: 78cm, 80cm, and 82cm.

To be more precise, you can refer to the table height calculation formula: height/2+5~10 (cm).

Image source: Zhufaner self-photographed

In addition, you can do as Mr. W does in his home, with a countertop of 90cm high in the water area, 80cm in the fire area, and 85cm in the food preparation area next to the refrigerator . This will avoid bending over to wash and cut vegetables, and then relying on your arms to cook, and it is also more suitable for the height of the couple.

Image source: Zhufaner self-photographed

It can't be changed now, you can try raising the cutting board, or buying a thicker cutting board or one with legs .

Flip-up cabinet doors

Maybe I didn’t think too much about it, I just felt it looked pretty good, right?

But when I actually used it, I found that the cabinet with a flip-up door is easy to open but difficult to close. Tall students have to stretch their arms completely, and short students can't even reach the top.

It's not fully open, and I can't take out big things . It's frustrating.

It is better to use a swing door, which is simple and practical.

Cabinet countertop right angle water retaining strip

Today's kitchen countertops are all made into right-angled water barriers, and then use beautiful seams to prevent mold. Not only are they ugly, but they are also very difficult to clean once they get greasy.

If you want it to look good, the cabinet countertop should either not have a water barrier or be made into a curved shape so that there are no sanitary dead corners.

Many decorators think installation is troublesome and will tell you that curved water retaining strips will sink and crack. In fact, this is not the case. If the countertop really sinks, the right-angled strips will also crack.

But you have to know that the curved water retaining strip is made of two pieces of stone put together, and the rounded corners need to be polished , which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It can only be said that time is money now, and many merchants are unwilling to do it even if you pay extra.

Moreover, the price of a curved countertop will increase by 100 to 300 yuan per meter .

Abandon fence-type anti-theft windows

The fence-style security windows that can be seen everywhere are ugly, block light, and obstruct the view , wrapping the house like a cage.

The anti-theft effect may not be useful. Once a fire occurs, the anti-theft windows will become a "death net" .

As residential buildings become taller and public security improves, the function of anti-theft windows is weakened , and this type of anti-theft net becomes useless.

If it is a large open-air balcony, you can install a set of sliding doors outside the glass door of the balcony . It can be opened during the day without affecting the view, and locked at night without affecting ventilation.

Image source: Zhufaner self-photographed

Enclosed balconies can be equipped with diamond mesh , which is made of stainless steel and is safe and sturdy, just like screen windows.

Install a lock so that children and pets cannot open it, and there are concerns about ventilation and lighting. Now there are high-definition and high-transparency styles .

Image source: A certain book account @Chengdu Hennesa Hansa | Screen Window

If you buy it, it is usually priced by set, that is, one fan costs about 400 yuan. The preferred material is 304 stainless steel, with a density of 60 or above.

Don't choose a fully enclosed mirror cabinet

Choose a mirror cabinet for your bathroom cabinet wall cabinet. It is very practical for hiding and storing items, but don’t choose a fully enclosed type.

It is easy to leave fingerprints on the mirror of a fully enclosed mirror cabinet when opening the cabinet door. Moreover, frequently used items, such as hand sanitizer and facial cleanser, are stored in the mirror cabinet. It is inconvenient to take them out when they are used frequently . Over time, they are piled up in a mess on the countertop.

Image source: Zhufaner self-photographed

You can choose a style that matches a mirror cabinet with open compartments , following the principle of hiding eight and revealing two. Put frequently used items in the open compartments, and store other less frequently used daily necessities in the mirror cabinet.

Do not place the washing machine directly under the sink

In small apartments, the washing machine is often placed in other spaces, such as in combination with the washbasin.

Generally speaking, the height of a bathroom cabinet is between 80~85cm , and the width is 45~50cm, which is more comfortable.

Image source: Zhufaner self-photographed

The standard height of a washing machine weighing more than 5.5kg is about 85cm and the thickness is 59.5cm. If you put the washing machine right under the sink, including the countertop, the height is 90+ and the thickness is also 60+!

This way, you have to raise your arms when washing your face, which is very uncomfortable, and some washing machine doors even bulge out.

Image source: Taobao seller show, buyer show

In addition, wash basins and washing machines are both large drainage objects . If the drainage is not handled properly, water will overflow. They cannot be used at the same time, so separate floor drains must be reserved.

If there is enough space, it is better to place the washing machine next to the sink and make it a high and low platform.

Image source: Taobao buyer show

If you have to do this, you can only buy a small washing machine or put a small stool under the sink. This approach is highly not recommended. It is too troublesome to stand on the stool to wash your face.

Everyone knows that from the initial installation of cabinets to the subsequent soft furnishings, making the most of every square meter of precious space is crucial. The placement, size, and placement of kitchen and bathroom appliances and furniture require accurate measurements, taking into account their function and usage habits.

Solid color curtains look better

When choosing curtains, apart from light-blocking properties and materials, the only thing left to consider is appearance.

My experience in decorating two apartments tells me that it is not easy to make mistakes with solid-color curtains, and simple styles are easier to create a sense of luxury .

Wall-mounted air conditioner with back outlet

When installing a wall-mounted air conditioner, its appearance will always be lowered by the air-conditioning pipe connecting the indoor and outdoor areas. The ugliness cannot be concealed and the more you cover it, the uglier it becomes.

Our common wall-mounted air conditioners are all installed in this side-outlet pipe manner, and the air-conditioning holes are usually reserved by the developer.

Image source: Zhufaner fan @Zhang Ying

However, there is now a new installation method - rear-facing pipes . In the early stages of decoration, don't ignore this point, and you can hide these ugly pipes.

All styles of wall-mounted air conditioners can be made with back-outlet pipes . The air conditioner can be installed on the side wall using a false beam ; or it can be installed on the side of the building's exterior wall , with a hole drilled in the exterior wall to lead the pipe directly out.

It should be noted that the holes in the exterior wall must be precisely positioned. The installation technology of the back-out pipe is not difficult, and it is more reliable to find a meticulous and patient installation master .
