Even if you decorate 10 times, you may not know everything about these 10 trivia about decoration!

Some people say decoration budget It’s a bottomless pit~

In fact, decoration knowledge is also a bottomless pit, and you can never finish it!

Now I want to share some trivia about decoration. Even if you have decorated 10 houses, you may not know them all!

01

The design size should be \”small first\”

When decorating, if the area is small and the size is tight, the smaller space should be given priority and the principle of \”small to large\” should be followed.

For example, the bathroom is adjacent to the bedroom, and the space on both sides is small. Priority should be given to the design size of the bathroom, because the bedroom area is larger than the bathroom, and the room for error is larger. For example, the bed is changed from 1.5 meters to 1.4 meters. It has little impact on the bedroom function; but if the toilet is 10 centimeters smaller, you won’t be able to sit in it.

02

Excessive ventilation is also a pitfall

There is a lot of news about the dangers of formaldehyde on the Internet. Most people talk about the discoloration of formaldehyde. Therefore, after the decoration is completed, they would like to ventilate it every day and drain the formaldehyde early. But the release of formaldehyde is a slow process. Even if a Category 17 typhoon blows on you for three days, formaldehyde may still exceed the standard.

On the contrary, if you open the windows for a long time in your newly renovated house for ventilation, it is easy for the temperature/humidity to change too much, leading to cracks on the walls and ceilings. In fact, formaldehyde ventilation does not depend on how strong the wind is or how long the ventilation time is. Because formaldehyde can be released for even ten years, the key to ventilation is frequency, and daily ventilation is more important after moving in.

03

The water pipe under the wash basin is against the corner

Generally, a bathroom cabinet is installed under the wash basin, so the sewer pipe should be left close to the corner. In this way, the sewer pipe will have less impact on the bathroom cabinet and the internal space of the cabinet will be larger.

Tips: When laying water and electricity pipes, ask workers to stick to the corners as much as possible, such as the foundation of the blank, leaving a distance of 3-5cm for laying tiles. After the tiles are attached, the sewer pipes will be almost against the corners, and there will be no Affects bathroom cabinets

04

Don’t throw away the leftover latex paint

After the decoration of a new house is completed, the remaining \”decoration garbage\” is usually thrown away, and in order to clean up and move in early, most people just throw it away.

However, when throwing away \”decoration trash\”, never throw away the remaining latex If the paint is lost, it must be properly sealed and kept in a safe place! Otherwise, if it gets bumped by moving furniture or appliances, the paint will be discolored and look as ugly as a patch.

05

Solid wood customization not \”solid\” wood

In the later stages of decoration, when I was looking for whole-house customization, I saw merchants advertising \”solid wood customization\”, but this \”solid wood\” is not the other \”solid wood\” – the \”solid wood\” you understand Probably sawing trees into planks.

What merchants call \”solid wood\” means that the raw material is wood, which is processed into wood powder/wood chips/thin wood chips, and then injected with glue and pressed.\” \”Real\”, this is a real artificial board.

06

Glass shower room should be covered with explosion-proof film

Do you think tempered glass is safe?

Toughened glass is a common material in shower rooms, but tempered glass has a certain self-explosion rate. If it self-explodes while taking a shower, it can easily cause accidental injuries.

Just in case, it is recommended to put an explosion-proof film on the glass shower room. Even if it explodes by itself, the film will not explode directly.

07

The refrigerator and the weak current should be in separate circuits

When you travel far away, do you directly turn on the main gate?

If so, when you come back, the refrigerator will be in trouble – the food inside will be spoiled and smelly… This is my personal experiencepast things.

In order to avoid this kind of \”mistake\”, when doing water and electricity, it is recommended to leave a separate dedicated line for the refrigerator and weak current box, so that you do not need to pull their switches when traveling far away, and keep the refrigerator and security system running.

08

Electrical socket with switch

For sockets that are frequently plugged and unplugged, such as electric fans, rice cookers, kettles, desk lamps and other small appliances, it is recommended to install sockets with switches to facilitate on and off operations without having to plug and unplug the power cord every time.

In addition, for electrical appliances such as built-in steamers, disinfection cabinets, refrigerators, etc., the socket is installed behind the appliance (inconvenient to unplug the power supply). It is recommended to install an external switch so that it can be easily disconnected when cleaning the appliance. electricity.

09

Cabinets must be ordered before doing water and electricity

Don’t think that the cabinets are installed after the hard decoration is completed, but the electrical appliances embedded in the cabinets must be reserved for water and electricity. You must find a customized cabinet before doing the water and electricity. Otherwise, after the water and electricity are completed and the tiles are pasted, the location of the water and electricity will be discovered. If it conflicts with the cabinet design, you will regret it.

10

Taking photos after water and electricity completion

Hydropower, as a hidden project, will have a certain impact on later construction and installation. Therefore, after the completion of water and electricity, it is recommended that you give every space and wallTake photos and save them so that you can compare them during subsequent construction and installation. There is no need to \”guess there should be no wires inside\” and then drill the wires or water pipes through with a nail.

Renovation is a complicated project with many projects, many processes, many things used, and many people involved… This makes it difficult for ordinary people to do it without any mistakes, especially some uncommon ones. Details are even more easily overlooked. How many of the above 10 trivia about decoration do you know?
