After half a lifetime of decoration, I have summarized 20 most practical decoration methods, and everything is a big truth.

Everyone knows that decoration is a waste of time, money and materials, but looking at the spacious and bright living room, modern and fashionable dining room, etc. after decoration, I feel a little sweet…

When facing home decoration that makes people love and hate, we have to learn from it! Don\’t wait until you get some decoration before you find yourself in a big trap. Fortunately, I have been doing decoration for half my life and I will share with you 20 \”unwritten rules\” of home decoration~

[1] After reading it, I realized that if you have a limited budget, don\’t use these decoration elements

NO.1 to decorate the ceiling. The back-shaped ceiling with light trough is too unclassified

Watch TV At that time, everyone found that many household ceilings had return grooves and return titanium decorative strips. Such ceilings were once \”Miss Girl\”, but now they have been \”slapped in the face\”!

Such ceilings are no longer popular, and they have hidden safety hazards. They are also not as good as due to excessive decorative lines and yellow light in the interior light belt, which makes them feel strong visual pressure. The combination of the main light and the linear light is beautifully decorated~

NO.2 Decorate the wall, French gypsum wire and wallpaper are too much maintenance effort

In wall decoration, complex classic gypsum lines and wallpapers are not recommended. First of all, it is too complicated and labor-intensive, and secondly, the life of the gypsum line is short, and wallpaper is prone to yellowing and discoloration, easy to accumulate dust, and difficult to manage!

If you want the wall to be beautiful, you can use simple decorative paintings, match the outer frame with Bola-shaped wooden frames, or high-saturation oil paintings. The key is >Background color should be used with scrub-resistant and non-discolored latex paint.

NO.3 Decorate the background wall. If the background wall is too complicated, it is costly to have poor durability.

Especially when decorating background walls, you should not be greedy for temporary \”fancy and luxury\”. Nowadays, simple and atmospheric background walls are popular, while French, modern Chinese and other styles of marble, mirror, wooden strips, etc. are actually too complex in shape and have poor rationality, not to mention You have to consider the radioactivity of stone!

For the same money, we might as well simplify the background wall. The background color is bright latex paint, and the decoration of the same style is very high-end.

[2] When decorating, you should also pay attention to: these decoration elements are not practical and still make a mistake

> Restaurant

① Restaurant floor inserts and embedded skirting lines, poor practicality and easy to accumulate dust

In addition to the background wall and suspended ceiling mentioned above, when decorating a restaurant, do not use the ground insertion and embedded ground insertion lines, otherwise it will be later The pain of short circuit in the inlay socket after being blistered!

Before decoration, we have to plan the direction of the wire and the socket position, and just reserve sockets on both sides of the dining table. The skirting line is made of pure material surfaces such as solid wood and plastic steel, and is not embedded in the wire trough. This is the \”big house where fairies live\”~

② The restaurant has been decorated with floor inserts. , poor practicality and easy to step on the wrong side

In addition to embedded kicks Outside the line, ground insertion is not recommended, as it is easy to step on the mine. If you must use ground to insert it, it must have waterproof and moisture-proof functions, otherwise the metal will easily oxidize in high humidity and high temperature environments for a long time.

And considering the convenience of daily cleaning and hygiene, It is recommended to use fiber optic sockets and wireless vacuum cleaners</Stick to replace the ground insertion and cable trough~

> Balcony chapter

The curtains are more recommended for curtain boxes, which can better hide and hang. Track

Don\’t go back when decorating the balcony Use Roman pole curtains that are prone to moisture and are difficult to take care of.

Detail 3: Choice of cabinet countertops, high-quality quartz stone is more beautiful and practical

Choose a plastic countertop that is not resistant to high temperature. It will not be pasted even if it is placed on the pot at high temperature; A solid wood countertop that is not resistant to bumps should not be used as a chopping board.
