The decoration process sequence and precautions are completely organized! (recommended collection)

Decoration is an endless subject that ordinary people only experience once in a lifetime When it comes to decoration, we definitely don’t have experience. We can only avoid pitfalls in our own decoration by learning from other people’s experiences. However, decoration is a long-term and complicated process. The design sister once personally renovated a house of her own, and participated in everything from design to moving bricks. This was an experience I will never forget. During the nearly one-year renovation process, I also wrote a lot of renovation diaries and summarized a lot of experience. Here is a summary of the renovation process and precautions for your reference.

2. Precautions for each decoration process

① Design plan and demolition of walls

If the decoration budget is sufficient, it is recommended to find a designer to make a complete decoration design plan. In this way, the decoration is equivalent to having an extra military person who can strategize. For more information about the benefits of designers, you can refer to reading \”Should I hire a designer for decoration?\” Only those who have hired a designer will know these 6 benefits\”

Demolition requires clean demolition and protection of projects that will not be demolished; while building walls, the main considerations are to prevent wall cracking, the connection between the old and new walls, the lintel technology, and the sloping brick capping. For details, please refer to my decoration diary \”Are you afraid of uneven tiles when laying tiles?\” Learn about the details and precautions of the tiling process丨Decoration Diary》.

② Water and electricity renovation, central air conditioning and window sealing

In terms of water and electricity renovation, it is recommended that the kitchen water and electricity diagram be obtained from custom cabinets in advance. In terms of craftsmanship, attention should be paid to: loose line technology, water pipe suppression, waterproof and closed water test, dedicated line for air conditioning, weak current layout, kitchen refrigerator circuit Leave it alone, leave switches for kitchen appliances, The wall-mounted TV sockets are located in the upper left and right corners of the TV. For details, please refer to \”Plumbing Precautions | Decoration Diary\” and \”Bathroom Waterproofing and Secondary Drainage Precautions | Decoration Diary\”. When sealing windows, pay attention to waterproofing.

③tiles, ceilings and doors

In terms of tiling, you need to pay attention to: soaking the tiles in water, processing of the yin and yang corners, pressing the bathroom wall to the floor, and splicing wood grain tiles , the size of the gap, the fullness of the mortar, and the dry hanging of large bricks. For details, please refer to \”Afraid of Uneven Bricks When Tiling?\”Learn about the artistic details and precautions in Decoration Diary.

As for the suspended ceiling, matters needing attention include: light steel keel and wooden keel, anti-cracking process, yin and yang corner treatment, nail hole anti-rust, connection with water, electricity or central air conditioning and other equipment. For details, please refer to \”Doing Thanks to these craftsmanship details, the ceiling will never crack again! (Decoration Diary)\”.

Because when replacing the door, dismantling and installing the door will involve a relatively large movement. It is generally recommended to replace the door and threshold stone after the tiling is completed. After the door is replaced, the putty can be patched to facilitate painting. Work entry and exit connection.

④Walls, interior doors and cabinets

Wall construction is after the wall tiles and floor tiles are completed. During construction, you need to pay attention to the following: ground protection, checking for hollows, leveling, solidifying old walls, drying putty before construction, and protecting sun corners. For details on the construction techniques of color-blocked walls and blackboard walls, please refer to \”Wall Construction丨What should I pay attention to when scraping putty and painting?\” (Decoration Diary)\”.

Then the indoor door is installed. It is recommended to complete the first coat of topcoat so that the closing is more perfect. For details, please refer to \”Wooden Door Installation and Purchase Precautions, and by the way, plant a stunning door丨Decoration Diary\” .

Then in terms of cabinet customization, although the installation is in comparison Later, because the water and electricity renovation requires the custom cabinet manufacturer to provide the kitchen water and electricity diagram, so the cabinet merchant must confirm it before the renovation! The cabinet merchant must be determined before decoration! The cabinet merchant must be determined before decoration!

⑤Oil stove, cabinet, wall covering, wooden floor and finishing touches

The range hood and stove must be combined with the cabinet, so the style of the stove must be selected before the cabinet plan is determined so that the dimensions can be reserved for the cabinet design.

As for the installation of custom cabinets, the construction connection between wallpaper and wooden floors, the main thing is to finish the details. For example, a closing strip should be used between the wooden floor and the cabinet, and between the cabinet and the wall covering, it is recommended that the wall covering be tucked into the cabinet and skirting to prevent the edges of the wall covering from being exposed.

Then comes the final installation work of switches and sockets, lamps, bathroom hardware, curtains and paintings, etc.

⑥Cleaning, furniture appliances and touch-up paint

Finally, I need to remind you that although the wall paint has been painted at the end of the decoration, there may be problems in the later stages of wooden floors, custom cabinets, hanging paintings, moving furniture, and air-conditioning installation. It will collide with the painted wall, so it is recommended to keep the remaining latex paint after the hard decoration is completed, so that all decorations, furniture and appliances can be repainted regularly.

At this point, the decoration should be almost complete. I guess you are already exhausted physically and mentally, and at the same time, you are full of expectations for your new home. . However, if you are still reading the article at this time, I am afraid you are still in the early stage of decoration.
