decorate

1, don't find acquaintances to decorate easily without knowing their professional level.

2. Don't pay too much for the decoration in advance. Generally, the payment shall be made in installments according to the ratio of 3: 3: 3: 1. On the one hand, it can urge builders to do follow-up work well, on the other hand, it can reduce risks (such as the company running away).

3, try not to cover everything, you still have to spend some energy, of course, money can be ignored.

4. If there is a budget, put forward design suggestions and find an independent designer or design agency.

5. Buying building materials and services must be implemented on paper, that is, there must be a clear contract, and the verbal commitment is unreliable, in case it is not recognized afterwards or the flow of personnel is unclear.

6, you should pay attention to yourself, don't be a shopkeeper.

kitchen

7. Cabinet design should consider the order of use: take ingredients from the refrigerator → wash vegetables in the sink → prepare to cut vegetables → stir-fry → serve out of the pot. The simpler the order, the better.

8. If the room type permits, the cabinet is suggested to have a U-shaped layout, and the countertop can be lengthened, so that the washing, cutting and frying areas can be arranged in an orderly manner.

9. If there is no special need, it is recommended to customize the cabinet as a whole. You don't have to buy famous brands, you can also consider local small brands, and the quality can pass.

10. Quartz stone is recommended for the countertop. The white countertop is versatile in color, but it may leak. Pay attention to clean up in time.

1 1. The height of the desktop can be determined by the elbow height. Stand up straight, and the elbow height minus 10 cm is the height of the washing and cutting area. On this basis, the height of the cooking area is reduced by 10- 15 cm. The countertop design is not equal in height, and the countertop in the food preparation area is slightly higher, so don't bend over when cutting vegetables; The cooking place is a little lower, so you don't have to raise your arms when cooking.

12. It is suggested to design a water stop at the position where the countertop is against the wall, so that if there is water on the countertop, it will not flow down the wall.

13. The sink is installed by the process of basin under the stage, which makes the cleaning of the countertop extremely easy and can also be embedded in the basin under the stage, but the process is difficult. The faucet can be pumped, which will be more convenient when washing vegetables.

14, if you can only choose a smaller size sink, it is recommended to choose a single sink, which is more convenient to wash the pot.

15. Lighting should be designed under the upper cabinet. Induction lamp or general lighting can be used. The advantage is that the countertop of the cabinet will not be invisible by backlight at night. If you forget to wire in advance, there are rechargeable and battery-powered lights on the Internet.

16, the ceiling can be installed as a cool bully (integrated ceiling fan module), and you can also get air conditioning if you have money, so you don't have to worry about cooking in summer.

17, there is no seam between the hanging cabinet and the top surface, and it is clean and has no dead angle.

18, commonly used sockets with switches do not need to be plugged and unplugged frequently.

19, dishwashers, water purifiers, garbage disposal and other electrical appliances can improve the quality of life, which can be considered as appropriate according to the budget, and the sockets should be kept well during hydropower transformation.

toilet

20, must be waterproof, the ground is full, wall shower area 1.8 meters above, other areas 30 cm high. Be sure to do a closed water test after waterproofing is completed.

2 1, the floor drain should be deodorized, and the floor drain core should be replaceable.

22, water pipes as smooth as possible. Generally, bathrooms are integrated ceilings. Although it takes more pipes to get to the roof, it won't cost much. But in case of water leakage, it can be found in time to facilitate maintenance. If buried under tiles, it will cause great losses and damage to the downstairs.

23. The arrangement of water pipes should be hot on the left and cold on the right, which is an international standard. Some thermostatic faucets can't be installed backwards.

24. One handle of the faucet will be more convenient than two handles. (Of course, if you want to look good, you can only sacrifice the convenience of use a little. )

25, washbasin faucet can consider using a pull-out faucet to facilitate washing your hair.

26. When installing water pipes, consider the thickness of ceramic tiles. If the pipe joint is too long, the faucet and shower will protrude from the wall, and the decorative cover will not cover it, which is ugly. As a remedy, there are extended decorative covers on the Internet.

27. Shower floor tiles should be tilted to the floor drain position, which is conducive to eliminating ground water. You can also consider using a whole stone in the middle and leaving a good waterway around, which is commonly used in star hotels.

28. You can leave a socket on the wall behind the toilet. Even if you don't install a smart toilet now, you can install it later. It can also be placed on the wall next to the washbasin. It's convenient to use a hair dryer. The height of this socket should not be too low. It is better and safer to have a waterproof cover.

29. The faucet of the mop pool can be lengthened, and it is more convenient to connect water with buckets.

30. The faucet of the washing machine is divided into four points and six points, so the washing machine can look at the style in advance, or we have universal washing machine faucets with four points and six points that can be changed at will.

3 1, the basin under the table is definitely easier to clean the countertop than the basin above the table. In order to facilitate cleaning, you should choose the basin under the table, and choose it for the sake of looking good. Now there is an integrated basin with better effect.

32. The thickness of your own countertop is generally thick. You should consider the thickness of the faucet in advance, or buy extra-long fasteners when buying the faucet, otherwise the faucet may not be installed.

33. There are far more than two towels at home, especially after having children, the layout of towel bar should be considered. One pole is definitely not enough. Choose two poles with different heights, or the one inside will be troublesome to use. In addition, the length of towel rack and towel rack is generally 60 cm, and alternative products such as towel rack ring, hook and rotary folding towel rack can be considered in small toilets.

34, the shower corner blue double layer is always more than a single layer, a bottle of shower gel and a bottle of shampoo account for a basket.

35. The various electrical modules in the integrated ceiling can be more humanized. For example, the ventilation module is placed above the toilet, the yuba module is placed above the shower head, and the lighting module is placed above the washbasin. It is also said that ventilation should be above the shower, which is more conducive to moisture discharge. Yuba should be at the door of the shower, because it's not cold when you take a shower, but when you come out to wipe your body and get dressed.

36. Auxiliary lighting can be arranged beside the mirror of the sink, such as mirror headlights or cosmetic lights, which can be more convenient to use.

37. Decide whether to choose a bathtub according to your actual life. If you don't have a strong habit of taking a bath, the frequency of using the bathtub is really low, and it takes up a lot of space. Of course, if the house has more than two bathrooms, local tyrants with large budgets are free.

38. In order to use hot water more conveniently, domestic hot water circulating pump can be considered in hydropower transformation. Or the place where you wash your hands or dishes can be filled with kitchen treasures alone.

Other space

39. If the TV background in the living room is a wall-mounted TV, when doing water and electricity, first bury a large PVC pipe to thread it, so that the TV line can be hidden in the future, which is more beautiful.

40. Every room should have enough sockets, especially TV walls, sofas and bedside, and there will be more and more household appliances.

4 1, don't forget to use double control positions, such as bedroom door and bedside; Up and down the stairs.

42. The ground plug looks very practical, such as drinking kung fu tea and eating hot pot, but if you don't use it often, it is better to connect the wiring board, because you will find that the ground plug without furniture is in the way.

43. If the public space is completely open, we should consider the energy consumption of air conditioning. At that time, there were no doors in my living room, dining room, study room, kitchen and stairs, so ordinary air conditioners were not so powerful to use.

44. People who don't like air conditioning, remember to consider ceiling fan lights. Some styles of ceiling fans are actually pretty.

45. If you usually sleep lightly, you must buy sunshade curtains for bedroom curtains and PVB laminated glass for balcony windows for better sound insulation.

46. The barn door looks good, but the sound insulation is not good. Do not use it on the bedroom door.

47. The bedroom partition wall must be a solid wall, and the sound insulation effect of wardrobe or gypsum board is poor. If there is family next door, you can hear snoring.

48. If there is a sewer pipe in the bedroom balcony or the sewer pipe in the main bathroom, you can consider wrapping it with soundproof cotton, otherwise you will hear the sound of water from time to time.

49. The interior design of the wardrobe should be adjusted according to your living habits. Can't let the designer of the overall custom wardrobe directly handle it. At least you should put forward specific requirements, such as how long clothes? More pants? Wait, different clothes have different storage.

50. If possible, you can choose solid wood, which is much better than panel furniture in environmental protection.

5 1, try to decorate lightly and redecorate, and don't do too much modeling. The more materials are introduced, the higher the probability of environmental problems, and the budget will increase.

52. Balcony can not only be used to dry clothes, but also be transformed into a garden, a leisure area, a study and so on. If there is only one balcony, there is something called a dryer that can solve this problem.

53. Balcony can be packed or packed as much as possible. After the bag comes in, it is more valuable, equivalent to several square meters of indoor space.

54. Tell workers to communicate in advance when there are uncertain problems in construction, and never make their own decisions. It is usually too late to remedy these problems.

55. Ventilation after decoration is the most important, and other green plants, activated carbon and air purifiers can only play an auxiliary role.

56. In the process of decoration, do your best to care and die, so that you won't regret it. If problems are found after renovation, they can be replaced. If you can't change it, don't worry about it. After all, you may change to a big house in a few years.
