Let's talk about the decoration topic! I believe that if we were to complain together, we could complain for a whole day. When we got the house, we spent all kinds of money and decorated it however we wanted, wanting to make it feel like a paradise. But after the decoration was finally completed and we moved in, we were really dumbfounded. There were all kinds of decoration pitfalls, such as being impractical, adding a burden of cleaning to life, etc. I believe everyone hated these many things and wanted to tear them down. So, what should we pay attention to when decorating? Today, I will talk to you all about it. You should be more careful when decorating.

1. Floor color selection

When it comes to the color of the floor, be careful not to choose dark colors. Many owners think that dark colors are more durable when decorating, but this is not the case. My family made such a low-level mistake when choosing the floor. Now I’m really fed up with it. A little bit of dust can be seen clearly. Even if I mop the floor several times a day, there is still a layer of dust. It is super not resistant to dirt and is really a burden to clean in the later stage.

2. Choose a silent door lock

When it comes to decoration, there are actually many details that are easily overlooked. For example, when choosing a door for your home, you must pay attention to choosing a silent lock. Otherwise, every time you open and close the door, the sound will be too embarrassing, especially if there are people in the house who easily get up at night. This can easily affect people who are sleeping soundly.

3. Do not choose a pine wood bed for children

I believe that when we buy furniture, especially children's beds, many salespeople in the store will recommend pine wood to everyone, saying that the material is soft, suitable for children, and it won't hurt when bumped, etc. But is this really the case? This wood is not as soft as a sponge, so how can it not hurt when bumped? It's all nonsense. In addition, this pine wood is originally made of glue and sawdust pressed by a machine, and it smells terrible. Do you think it is qualified from a health perspective?

4. Choose solid wood for wardrobes and cabinets

When choosing the wood material for wardrobes and cabinets at home, you must be careful not to choose particle board, plywood, etc., which are all made of wood chips, and the kind of board with edge banding, which is not a good material, and is made to cover up these shortcomings. The formaldehyde content of these is particularly high! The bedroom is where we sleep for seven or eight hours with the door closed, so environmental protection cannot be ignored. So it is recommended that you choose solid wood.

5. Don’t choose a single sink in the kitchen

Speaking of this sink, I really regret it as much as I did. I chose a double sink because I saw my neighbor’s house was renovated. However, it is really not easy to use in the later stage. If you want to wash a pot, you have to wash it standing in the sink without even putting it down. Moreover, one of the sinks is usually idle, which increases the burden of cleaning in the later stage.

6. Don’t buy a leather sofa

Leather sofas are high-end and classy when placed at home, but they are very difficult to maintain and take care of, and they are particularly easy to break. If you have to buy a leather sofa, you should pay attention to the color of the sofa. Don't choose a light-colored sofa that is not resistant to dirt. It will turn black easily over time, and it will be difficult to clean. It looks ugly, but you will be reluctant to throw it away.

7. No need to make complicated ceiling

In fact, according to the current floor height, it is really not recommended to build a complicated suspended ceiling. Once this is built, the whole space will appear very small. After a long time, living in it will feel very depressing and tacky.

8. Socket

The sockets really need to be laid out properly. Once you make a mistake, it is really irreversible. Nowadays, there are more and more small appliances in the home. If there are not enough sockets at home, it will not work. Then the whole house will have to use extension boards, which will look messy, like a spider web. Also, pay attention to the location. Pay attention to the size of furniture and appliances. Don't let them be blocked.

9. The shoe cabinet should be large and deep

When customizing the shoe cabinet at home, it is best to make it as high as possible at the entrance, because as life goes on, the number of shoes will only increase, not decrease. If it is not enough, the door will be piled up like a mountain. Also, pay attention to the depth. The hostess's shoes are strange in shape, so everyone should be thoughtful and considerate, otherwise it will be embarrassing if they can't fit in.

10. Don’t use sliding doors in your wardrobe

If the space at home is spacious enough, it is really not recommended to use sliding doors for the doors of this cabinet. Not only will dust accumulate over time, it will be difficult to clean and the sealing is also very poor. It is still recommended that you choose double doors.

11. Don’t use blinds as curtains

Generally, Venetian blinds are mostly used in bathrooms. However, I don’t recommend using them here. They are prone to accumulating dust and are very troublesome to clean. The lifting rope is also prone to getting stuck and broken. It’s really not worth it. It’s better to choose glass film, which is cheap and practical.

12. All bathrooms need to be equipped with bathroom heaters, but it is not recommended to install light heaters, as this can easily cause explosions and cause great harm to the skin and eyes. It is better to install air heaters.

13. When choosing a coffee table for the living room, don’t choose a large coffee table, as it takes up space. If you have children at home, it will be easy for them to bump into it. Mine was finally placed on the balcony, and it was never used at all. It was a waste to buy it.

14. Even if the bathroom at home is as small as two or three square meters, it must be separated into dry and wet areas. If the shower room does not have this feature, you can make a water barrier and a shower curtain, which can also reduce the separation between dry and wet areas.

15. When we install the toilet, we must pay special attention not to use white cement, but glue. Otherwise, if there are maintenance problems later, the floor tiles will have to be knocked down, which will not be worth the loss.

16. Choose a wall paint that is scrub-resistant

When decorating the walls of your home, you must choose latex paint that is scrub-resistant, especially if you have children. The walls will be painted on frequently, so it will be very easy to scrub, otherwise it will look ugly later.

17. When decorating the balcony space, you must pay attention to the rational use of space and don’t waste it. So it is recommended that you make a few more wall cabinets, which can increase the storage space, which is very good.

18. Choose the right hardware

When choosing hardware for home decoration, you must pay attention to choosing good ones, especially the angle valve hardware in the bathroom. These are all dealing with water, and poor choices will easily rust and break. Instead of doing this, it is better to choose good ones and get them in place at one time to save the trouble of replacement later.

19. Choose glass glue that is anti-black and anti-mildew. When decorating, never use the glass glue that the master brings with him. These are very poor quality. They will turn black and moldy within ten days or half a month, and look very ugly. Moreover, some glass glue will emit a foul odor in the later stage. Everyone must pay attention to this detail.

20. After the floor tiles in your home are finished, you must do the caulking. Don’t choose white cement, as it will easily turn black over time. This will look very ugly, as if it is a second-hand house.

21. Pay attention to the slope of the floor drain

When decorating the floor drain at home, remember to pay attention to the slope. It should be slightly lower than other areas, otherwise the drainage speed will be very slow. When you take a bath, your whole feet will be soaked in water. You have to wash your feet separately after taking a bath!

22. Don’t install fancy lights

For decoration, don’t choose fancy lights for your home, such as spotlights, downlights, and light strips. Your home is not a KTV or a bar. You don’t know how many times you can use it in a year. It is also easy to break down, and it is very inconvenient to clean it later. It is better to install a more practical ceiling lamp, which is very practical!

23. Curtains

When installing curtains, pay attention to the height of the decoration. When my house was being renovated, the height was installed low because of air conditioning. Now, I am woken up very early every day by the light from above.

24. Choose a deep washbasin, otherwise when you use water in your daily life, it will splash everywhere, making it difficult to clean.

25. After the installation of the doors and windows at home, you must apply glass glue around them. This is very important. Otherwise, water will easily seep in every time it rains. At that time, the walls and other surfaces will easily be soaked, blackened and moldy.

26. The air conditioning hole must be determined. Before we start decorating, we must think about the installation location of the air conditioner, and then drill holes according to the location. It would be embarrassing if the holes drilled are not perfectly coordinated with the location where you want to install the air conditioner.
