For many designs, designers are so excited that they take photos at the owner\’s house with a camera after completion, and then share them with friends to win the favor of the next owner.

But after moving in, the owners suffered a disaster. They originally thought that the high-end design combined appearance and practicality, but after moving in, they discovered that it was so unrealistic to use. There are so many points, let’s take stock of them together in this issue, and don’t fall into any trap again after reading them.

1. Art glass wooden door

Look at this appearance, absolutely stunning Well, the wooden door is inlaid with special-shaped glass, and the sense of luxury comes out immediately.

Especially when paired with ultra-white Changhong glass, diamond glass, etc., it is even more beautiful.

Therefore, many designers, regardless of the actual situation, add it to the bathroom renderings. The owners think it looks good. Nature is also irresistible.

But it is a wooden door after all, with poor waterproofing. If the bathroom is not separated from dry and wet, problems such as peeling, cracking, and falling door leaves will inevitably occur after long use, which greatly reduces the use of the bathroom door.service life.

So, if the bathroom is not separated from dry and wet, don’t listen to the designer and make wooden doors. Nowadays, aluminum alloy, titanium and magnesium Metal door frames such as alloy can also be paired with high-value glass to create an artistic bathroom door.

Moreover, it is highly waterproof and corrosion-resistant, and is durable.

2. Half-wall bathroom

Everyone yearns for wet and dry Separation, but small apartments are not easy to satisfy. Therefore, under the suggestion of the designer, the design of a two-separated bathroom that isolates the washing area is particularly popular.

Coupled with the blessing of the renderings, many people think it is a collection Beauty and practicality.

But after you actually do it, you will find its shortcomings as soon as you put it into use. The so-called artistic half-wall design is simply a dirty and messy amplifier. The toiletries and towels on the wash basin are all exposed.

If this place is relatively close to the entrance, it will be even more uncomfortable. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the mess and mess, which brings down the entire The level of decoration of your home.

So, don’t just listen to the designer’s suggestions, think about the actual use situation at home before making a decision.

Even if you particularly like a similar design, it is recommended to consider replacing the half wall with a full-ceiling glass partition, which will not affect the lighting and also block the Get rid of ugliness and kill two birds with one stone

3. Defog mirror cabinet

The reason why it is popular is that in addition to its defogging function, it also looks good. The backlight design makes the mirror look high-end.

But after installation, all the advantages you thought will become disadvantages:

The so-called backlight design is actually very useless. It can\’t illuminate people\’s faces clearly when washing or putting on makeup. At most, it only serves as bathroom lighting.

The main defogging function is just to add a heating rod to the back of the mirror. However, the area of ​​the heating rod is generally very small and can only cover a small area in the middle. Due to the position of the box, the diffusion speed is very slow and the effect of rapid defogging cannot be achieved at all. It basically takes ten minutes to completely defogging.

If you have that time to wait, you might as well buy a wiper blade for a few dollars\’s is real.

After taking a shower, use it to wipe off the mirror fog with two clicks. It can be done in a few seconds. The effect is super good, the design of the silicone head leaves no trace after scraping.

Moreover, it can not only scratch mirrors, but also remove water stains on countertops.

Hang it for easy storage after use

As for the bathroom cabinet. For lighting, it is recommended that you choose lights designed on the front mirror, which are bright enough so that your makeup will not be too thick without realizing it.

4. Slate basins

Ceramic basins have been used for decades. No matter how many advantages they have, people are tired of them. Therefore, in the field of slate basins, After he was born, oh, it suddenly became popular.

But I advise you not to be impulsive, because everyone who has used it has said that it has nothing but good looks.

Determined by the material properties of the slate, the water basin cannot be curved, which results in the four sides of the sink being flat and vertical, making them all sanitary blind spots and difficult to clean.

The gray one I was lucky enough to choose is not bad. It is at least resistant to dirt and is most afraid of black or white. There is obvious dirt on the corners and corners, and it is also yellow and moldy.

If you want it to be clean, you must use mold removal gel regularly, which is expensive and troublesome.

Although mildew removal gel is not expensive, it is not necessary when you think about how easily these problems can be avoided if you use a ceramic basin.

By the way, except for mildew gel, in addition to slate basins, it can also be used to remove mildew stains on kitchen countertops, glass around the toilet, etc.

In addition to being moldy and black, the slate basin with a slope design also has problems such as a narrow drain outlet, slow drainage, and easy hair and debris getting stuck. I really don’t recommend it.

I really like the appearance of rock slabs, and remember to choose the combination of rock slab countertops + ceramic basins. It does not have the above shortcomings and is practical.

5. Black bathroom

Decoration novices, in pursuit of bathroom beauty, can easily fall into the trap of black under the advice of designers.

However, after basically staying for a month, you will pay for your impulse at that time, and the white scale that cannot be washed away will make you hate it. I doubt my life.

Moreover, black is the easiest color to stand out and the easiest to get tired of. Over time, the shower head becomes old again and again. , fading, etc., will become uglier.

The durability and appearance retention are not as good as stainless steel.

For the problem of scale on black bathroom ware, most people now use citric acid or bathroom foam cleaner to solve the problem. The effect is similar, the former is more cost-effective, and the latter More convenient.

I prefer the former, citric acid, because it is food grade and can not only solve bathroom scale problems, but also kettles and kettles throughout the house. Scale on pots, glass, mirrors, etc. can also be solved, making it more practical.

6. Customized cabinets on the toilet

Customized cabinets on the toilet , it is indeed very innovative and can solve some of the storage problems in the bathroom.question.

However, it has space requirements. For a bathroom with complete dry and wet separation like the picture above, making cabinets is a bit of a problem. no.

However, if your home is not completely separated from wet and dry, don’t listen to the designer and add a cabinet. Not only will the shape be weird, but the moisture from the shower will also make the It becomes moldy and cracked.

In fact, for bathrooms that are not separated from wet and dry, the more suitable design is this kind of bathroom cabinet with mirror, material selection Made of stainless steel, waterproof and moisture-proof, more durable.

As for the width, it is recommended to extend from the washing area to the top of the toilet, which will look larger and have sufficient storage capacity.

7. Niche

Niches that were eliminated decades ago are now popular again, and it is indispensable to the designers.

Although the storage convenience of bathroom toiletries can be appropriately increased, it is by no means a design that follows the trend without thinking, because it is not Instead of digging a hole, it was built by building a wall. Without the right conditions, blindly adding a wall just to make a niche was a bit of a penny gain.

Furthermore, everyone makes niches, but the chance of success is not high. Many families build niches with inappropriate height and width, improper edge sealing, and no drainage slope, etc. Wait, there are so many questions.

To sum up, it is better to go straight to the point and choose a bathroom shelf, which is more flexible, convenient and low-cost.

The one I use at home is this space aluminum one. It is waterproof and rust-proof. It can be single or double layered and can hang towels. No need to hang towels, no need to drill holes for installation, available in black and white, different widths, no matter in terms of appearance or cost performance, it is no worse than the niche.

8. Invisible floor drains

Many designers have an inexplicable design principle, which is to hide unsightly things, such as washing machines and air conditioners. If you make the cabinets and doors invisible, even the inconspicuous small floor drain will be in the way.

But in fact, the floor drain is made invisible, which does not greatly improve the appearance of the bathroom. On the contrary, the tiles on the four sides of the floor drain are cut When cut, it is easy to get uneven and cracked, and most of the floor drain is blocked, which affects the speed of water discharge.

And, clean it up every time you use it This is a problem. The upper lid cannot be lifted with bare hands, so you have to use something to lift it, which adds to the trouble.

So, don’t blindly believe in this kind of design that is purely for the designer’s own enjoyment. You will only regret it if you do it.

9. Bathroom tiles

I also believed in the designer and felt that he could definitely design a bathroom as beautiful as the renderings. Tiles.

As a result, what is this? As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was suffering from trypophobia. Moreover, when I didn’t turn on the lights, I felt like I was suffering from trypophobia. Dark and ugly.

Compared with the renderings, it turns out that the ceramic tiles are too densely colored and the colors are not chosen right. Look, this is torture. Design, not only do you pretend to be a trap, the designerNot sure either.

Similar tiles are not suitable for large-scale use in bathrooms. Even if you want to use them, you must hire a designer. However, local embellishment It\’s still OK to use, and the chance of getting stuck is relatively low.

10. Marble shower pedal

Blind guessing, designers have Owners with sufficient budget will definitely recommend marble, not only for background walls, but also for shower rooms.

The floor is made of marble grooves, which is said to speed up drainage and improve the decoration quality of the shower room.

But what he didn’t say is that marble is not very durable. Bathroom products that are often used for bathing will drip on it and turn white over time. Get up and take care of trouble.

Moreover, marble itself is rather artificial, has poor elasticity and is easy to break. If you don’t pay attention, there will be cracks on it.

In addition to being expensive, the durability is not high

It stands to reason. It is said that the ordinary shower room has a slope + drain, and the drainage for daily bathing is enough, which is easy to take care of. But I really like the design of this kind of pedal groove, which can be used, but it is more recommended to use thickened ceramic tiles.

Marble does not exist Those problems, the price is more than half cheaper, and the construction is also convenient. It is similar to laying regular ceramic tiles. You can just lay it on directly. The thickened surface is convex, and you can easily achieve the added strength.Quick water transfer effect.
