The most common problems encountered during decoration and the top ten minor decoration problems!

Everyone who has experienced home decoration will have this experience: decoration is tantamount to hard work. In just a few months, in order to realize various ideas of his own, he almost took off his clothes. A layer of skin. But in the end, there were still some minor issues that were not handled properly, which had various impacts on our lives after moving in, making us regret it endlessly. In fact, some regrets can be foreseen and avoided in advance. As long as you listen to the opinions of people with decoration experience, your decoration journey will save you a lot of trouble. Here is a "precautionary shot" for those friends who are preparing for the decoration war.

Problem 1:

The size of the interior door does not leave a gap. Old-fashioned houses are generally equipped with two doors, one for security and one for entry. During decoration, It is easy to cause insufficient gap between the floor and the door to accommodate thicker and beautiful floor mats. Designer explains: Before decoration, when measuring the size of the door, be sure to fully consider the thickness of the floor, floor tiles, floor mats, etc., and leave a gap in advance. If similar problems occur later, you can change to a thinner floor mat; or dig out a piece of floor according to the size of the floor mat, seal the edges and then put the floor mat in.

Problem 2:

Not enough reserved sockets. Nowadays, there are more and more types of household appliances. During the original decoration, a few more sockets were installed as needed. It is no longer sufficient now, and the hidden wiring used during the renovation cannot be changed. Moreover, when designing the TV background wall, no power sockets are reserved for wall-mounted TVs, stereos, etc., so only open wires can be connected at home, which not only affects the appearance, but also brings inconvenience to cleaning. Designers suggest that when decorating, consider the number of electrical appliances that need to be purchased in the future and install as many sockets as possible to prevent the sockets from not keeping up with the development of electrical appliances. If you use an LCD TV at home, it is best to leave a place for a wall-mounted power socket; if not, you can wrap some fake flowers on the open wire, which can also have a decorative effect.

Mistake 3:

The ceiling keel cannot bear the chandelier. When building the ceiling keel, we did not consider the future installation of heavier lighting such as crystal chandeliers, but removed it. It was very simple, but when I finally installed the lights, I found that the ceiling couldn't bear the weight of the lights at all. The designer’s solution is to either replace it with a lighting that can withstand the ceiling keel, or install a resin lamp similar to a crystal lamp. If you must install a crystal lamp, you can dig out the ceiling a little, add expansion bolts to the original top, then add hooks, and finally hang the lamps.

Problem 4:

Insufficient storage space It is difficult to arrange enough storage space in a small kitchen, but the kitchen has the most clutter, and those who have a headache What should I do if my pots and pans have nowhere to hide? Stacking them on the stovetop is unsightly and inconvenient to use. Designers explain that the kitchen must be convenient and practical, and small kitchens must have good space arrangements. If the base cabinets and wall cabinets are not enough, you can buy some suitable metal kitchen shelves or brackets and install them on the wall. Microwave ovens, rice cookers, etc. can be stored on the wall. The shelves with hooks can also hang various spoons and knives. Wait for debris.

Mistake 5:

There is no space left for the refrigerator. When renovating the kitchen, I just left a space without considering the size of the refrigerator and later purchased it. The size of the refrigerator is either inappropriate or the appearance is not satisfactory. Designer's Hack When a cabinet designer comes to measure the dimensions, he must provide him with the exact dimensions of various kitchen appliances. He must also fix their placement according to his own living habits, and then design the cabinet dimensions. If the kitchen and dining room are not far apart, you can place the refrigerator in the dining room; if they are farther apart, you can only buy a refrigerator of suitable size.

Problem 6:

Exposed water heater The water heater is relatively large. If it is exposed during decoration, it will not only take up space, but its intricate pipelines will also be very disturbing. Beautiful and easy to care for. The designer figured out that you can customize a cabinet with louvered doors to wrap the water heater, which is both beautiful and dust-proof and heat-dissipating. The louver door cabinet can be customized in the same style as the cabinet, and the overall effect will be better.

Mistake 7:

Wardrobe space is only important in front of you. For apartments with only two bedrooms, most people only build large wardrobes in the two bedrooms instead of Try to "squeeze" a separate space as a utility room. In the future, as the number of clothes increases, these two cabinets will definitely not be enough. In summer, the cabinets will be squeezed even more. Designer explains that in the design stage of small apartments, the future storage and storage functions must be fully considered. It is very popular nowadays to design an entire cloakroom or storage room in a limited space to meet future needs.

Mistake 8:

The ceiling light is not designed with dual controls. The switch of the bedroom ceiling light is only set at the entrance, and there is no double double control at the bedside. control switch. In this way, after watching TV or reading a book in bed at night, you have to get out of bed to turn off the lights and then go to bed in the dark. This is even more annoying in winter, when you are shivering with cold and have to get up to turn off the lights. Designer's solution: If you have this special need, you can communicate with the master worker during the electrician stage of decoration and use a dual-connection and dual-control circuit. If you don't have a dual control circuit, you can still achieve the effect by going to a lighting store to buy remote control lamps.

Problem 9:

The problem of insufficient floor drain drainage generally has two situations: one is that the floor drain outlet is not the lowest point, and the other is that the number of floor drains is not enough. . In this way, not only is it easy to cause the trouble of "water overflowing" when taking a bath, but even the washing machine may not be able to be used. Designer’s solution: Regarding the lowest point problem, you must remember to check the drainage when accepting the bathroom decoration. Otherwise, it will not only affect the bathing mood, but in serious cases, it will cause water leakage, causing harm to the neighbors downstairs. If there are not enough floor drains to use the washing machine, you can install a floor drain that can be used for both washing and drainage. Floor drains are usually installed under wash basins, shower areas, washing machines and toilets.

Problem 10:

The height of the waterproof layer of the shower room is unreasonable. When some families are decorating, they would like to raise the waterproof layer of the shower area to the top in order to be waterproof. Some families ignore the waterproofing problem and do not do it high enough, leaving hidden dangers of water seepage. The waterproofing of the bathroom cannot be ignored and must be done in place, but generally a height of 30 cm is enough. If it is too high, it will cause problems such as hollow walls and weak ceramic tiles. Moreover, the ceramic tile itself also has a certain waterproof effect, so there is no need to overdo it.
