Last time I lived in Faner, I received more than 200 messages on the topic of "Ten things I regret most about decoration", which made me feel like giving you a distressed hug. ?
Some people are miserable by acquaintances, screwed up by unreliable construction teams/decoration companies, and dragged down by the backward aesthetics of powerful relatives and friends. From the whole article, it is bitter tears. ?
This time, we will list these regrets. I hope everyone can cleverly avoid the pit in the future and strongly implement their preferences and living habits. ?
BTW, come back after reading it in a few minutes. This issue may be more exciting than the main text! ?
Tenth place? Is the furniture either too big or too much?
One of the most important tasks in interior design service is to choose the appropriate size furniture according to the height, area and number of people living in the house. ?
Although the size of the house limits our choices to a certain extent, we will still be tempted by other things and suddenly lose the concept of size in our minds. ?
It was not until we moved a truckload of American luxury sofas, European classical dining tables and Chinese mahogany wardrobes into the house that we found that there was no place to walk in the living room, the furniture was too dark, and the bedroom wardrobe was opened and hit the bed. .................................................................................................................
The following is the regret declaration of fans. When it's your turn to buy furniture, you must pay attention!

Three transgressions and ten failures: the family has basically installed soft clothes once, and the family is in a state of being too full and leaving too little white space. If we had restrained ourselves, the following regrets could have been avoided. I especially like Magis gyro chair. The result is that there is no room for play. People who like to give up must control the impulse to buy in buy buy! Don't buy it all at once, especially not the whole set!

Ghosts: You must pay attention to practicality when buying furniture. I threw up in my bed. Originally, I planned to have a simple wooden bed with four legs, which saved space and took good care of hygiene. As a result, my husband insisted on buying a bed with a sense of design, forcing him to do so. However, the size of 223×265 occupies almost the whole bedroom, and the frame is 10 cm from the top of the ground, so it is impossible to clean the hygiene under the bed. You can use up the embedded mattress if you want to change the sheets. The bedside is nearly 20 cm, often knocking on the legs, and the black bedside dust is serious. I can't take it anymore. After living in my new home for a month, I regret this bed the most. It's typical flashy! ?
Floating leaves: don't use dark doors and cabinets with poor light; Never listen to a fool to buy a bigger sofa and bed.

Ninth place? Too many sanitary corners?
Before, we wrote about the sanitary corner that may be left in the decoration, including complex shapes such as gypsum walls and reflective ceilings, open cabinets that are easy to fall, oversized furniture, wet toilets and so on. ?
But this time, the sanitary corner summarized from daily life is more real and richer than the one mentioned in the article. I hope that after reading it, you can think about it when decorating. How to install and clean it will be more convenient! ?
Shallow singing: Some plaster lines on the TV wall are made of super gray shapes that are difficult to clean. ?
Qin Zhe: The floor is made of antique bricks. Every time you mop the floor, you should use the strength of sucking milk, otherwise you will feel unclean. ?
Time flies ":with a lazy person like me, the kitchen door must not move the glass, and the number of times the cooking door is closed is not as good as the number of times the glass is cleaned." "

Qi shengda? The toilet is not wall-mounted. It's crazy to clean it! There is no distinction between dry and wet areas. Taking a bath is equivalent to a general cleaning of the bathroom ...?
Jing Wong: I regret laying white floor tiles most. It's still dirty 10 times a day ~ ~ and I have a child.

Regret medicine: the best (expensive) sweeping robot/mopping robot/vacuum cleaner can effectively solve your troubles, eliminating the need to build a mop pool! ?
Eighth place? Just decorating? Forget having children. Many places are different?
The decoration of families with children is very different from that of ordinary families, such as increasing storage space, making children's rooms, using materials that are easy to scrub, and rounding furniture?
If you don't know in advance what kind of furniture your child needs in the process of growing up and what kind of influence the color of the children's room will have on his psychology, there are many things you will regret after the decoration. ?
Baby: Parents should never order furniture, decoration or anything for their children according to their own aesthetics and preferences. As long as the child can talk, he should be taken to choose. If you find your child unhappy, don't ignore it. You would rather throw it away. Because a child's childhood is only once, and then it can't be made up. I found that children don't like childish things as adults think, but some abstract and designed things can develop children's imagination.

Li Yang: I regret that I didn't plan the storage place well. After having children, things have multiplied. It's really impossible without enough storage space. Moreover, the storage space must be planned, as far as possible into the wall, and the color is uniform. ?
▲ After having children, the cabinet finally became full. Source: Pinterest?
One-sided rice: Personal experience of just giving birth to Bauer: The dining table is more suitable for children than the lifting study table. While cooking, I watched my boss do his homework, mainly because I couldn't squeeze in front of the study table with my boss during pregnancy, and painting was absolutely bare-handed. Chivas automatic leather sofa is so comfortable that I spent the whole pregnancy on it, not to mention my own physical store experience. The children's room is a place to sleep and store toys and books. /kloc-children under 0/0 rarely play alone in it except adults accompanying her. No matter what kind of room you give her, what she cares about most is the company of adults. Wooden bath tub is more suitable than ceramic bath tub. A big bucket of water, small ones can swim, big ones can dive, and hot ones can wash the whole family. The washbasin must be large with a telescopic faucet. Smart toilets must be installed if conditions permit. The bigger the storage space, the better. When hitting the cabinet, make a grid according to the size of the sorting box. Anyway, it was planned in advance before the renovation.

Regret medicine: furniture is not in a hurry to buy, and children's rooms are not in a hurry to complete. Ask your child's opinion, there is only one precious childhood! ?
Seventh place? Too many useless lights? Everything that needs to be done is dark?
Decoration lighting is an invisible pit. You always thought that one ceiling lamp/fluorescent tube was enough for a room, and others installed it like this. You wouldn't want to leave more light wires, only to find out when you live in it. Why is the living room so dark? Why is the bedroom so dark? Well, it will only be concluded that the light bulb is not bright enough. ?
▲ A ceiling lamp/fluorescent lamp cannot support the luminous flux required by the living room, nor can it meet the warm needs of the bedroom. Source: mobile0 1.com?
ChosenJewelry: there is no chandelier at the bedside of the bedroom; Not equipped with track spotlights; There is no light belt under the kitchen cabinet; I have been paying attention to the style and have been dissatisfied! ! ! ?
Qi shengda? Don't travel around the world with a main light in the whole house. If you want a sense of sophistication and atmosphere, remember multi-level lighting, such as light belt, downlight, floor lamp and nightlight. Seeing the light but not seeing the light is the supreme state!
▲ Find a picture of the model room and count how many kinds of lights are used in it. Source: Pinterest?
Regret medicine: don't just stare at the ceiling lamp. You should know something about track lights, spotlights, downlights, chandeliers, wall lights and invisible bars. When you go to restaurants and museums, observe how others use up. ?
Sixth place? Sanitary ware and bathroom hardware are very cheap.
Sometimes I choose to spend a lot of money on this thing, but I dare not buy even ordinary good things on another thing. In fact, if you buy ordinary ones, they look much more pleasing to the eye than those with uneven quality. ?
Especially sanitary ware and hardware, sanitary ware is easy to get dirty, and hardware is easy to paint. Don't be greedy and cheap on these two things. ?
Mr. Sleepwalker: The washbasin must be of good quality. Everything decorated in my home is medium and high-grade, so the washbasin is sloppy. Now there are more washbasins than washing hands, which will easily turn yellow.

Miss. No: I regret not buying a sink and toilet. Now I get dirty easily when I use it. Lazy people are really tired of cleaning (and psychologically dirty). I use a filter in the sink basket. It's really disgusting to dig out food scraps by hand. ?
Eat fat watermelon: regret buying cheap hardware, bathroom hardware, faucets and the like. It's definitely a penny for a penny. In fact, group buying can't save a few dollars. What you bought is not as good as what you sold. You have to believe that there will be no pies falling in this sky for no reason. The decoration of the house is based on 10 thousand yuan, so it is never out of date to visit the market more and shop around. Don't be blown away by the so-called "bargainer" at the group buying meeting to place an order on the spot.
▲ Hardware is not so cheap for a penny. Source: Pinterest?
Regret medicine: either buy high-grade or ordinary files. Never buy high-grade and low-grade together. You'll know how glaring it is in a few months! ?
Fifth place? Did you miss the hot water pipe and install the kitchen treasure?
If the previous mistakes can be made up by throwing money, then the later mistakes can only be made up by throwing walls. ?
Winter is coming. I believe that everyone has the experience of washing hands, freezing hands and washing faces in winter school buildings, but at that time they all took it for granted and probably couldn't remember how much to correct the decoration. ?
So, out of the trust of "strong heating" or other honey, you forgot to heat the water pipe where you need to touch the water. ?
Teacher Jin's Jin: I have considered the hydropower transformation, whether it is dry-wet separation or kitchen treasure preservation. The only thing is that after the dry and wet separation, I want to leave a water pipe in the bathroom and toilet to install a mini sink, which is convenient for washing my hands after going to the bathroom. This water pipe was also buried during the hydropower transformation. But now it is found that only the cold water pipe is buried, and there is no hot water pipe, so it is impossible to directly use the hot water of the water heater or the kitchen treasure under the washbasin. It is unsafe and wasteful to install another kitchen treasure in the bathroom, so now we can only wash our hands with cold water.
Language: What I regret most is the problem of hot and cold water pipes. There is a laundry area on the balcony with only cold water pipes. Although there is a washing machine, it is inevitable to be caught in cold water in winter. The master who runs water pipes is a man, and he has always advised me that there is no need to run hot water pipes on the balcony. How can I believe in evil? Before laying bricks, I still have a chance to remedy ...?
Regret medicine: put the hot water pipe anywhere where it needs water, and you will die happily in winter! ?
Fourth place? There are always not enough sockets? I cann't believe it was blocked by furniture
Sockets, sockets, sockets are always not enough. What is even more exasperating is that the poor socket is blocked by all kinds of furniture.
▲ Source: Cosmic hero homemade?
Liu Jing: What I regret most is that there are few power outlets. You can install more clothes and decorate more, otherwise there are drag boards everywhere in the house-I have used six boards now, and I really don't know if there is water in my skull when I do water and electricity. Why? I didn't think about such a thing. Let me remind you again that many power plugs are very big and take up a lot of space, but inserting a hole takes up several holes ... as everyone knows.
Yuyu: The house was renovated five years ago. I have no regrets after moving in. I only regret it more: the socket is not enough, there is a drag board in the east and a drag board in the west; There is no double control switch in the bedroom, and no one wants to get up and turn off the lights in winter; There is no wall lamp cord in the bedroom, and the desk lamp is placed on the bedside table. It is common to knock over a desk lamp with a dishonest wave of your hand while sleeping. If you add a water cup or something, it will be a disaster. The bedside table is blocking the socket, so you need to use the socket. The bedside table will never be against the wall; The TV wall socket is not enough, and Red Bull can remedy it, but the TV cabinet is too high to block the socket; There are many small appliances in the sideboard, such as a high-speed water heater, a coffee machine and a blocked socket! Anyway, cabinets that are not against the wall have become a feature of my family. (For example, the problem of furniture blocking the socket is due to the order of decoration before buying furniture. All wet! The correct order is: first measure the size of the house, set the furniture and decorate it?
Qi shengda? There are not enough distribution frames everywhere in the socket &; The height of the socket is wrong, and the cabinet just blocks it, forcing out obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is a five-hole socket, but one of the three holes blocks the other. Why not put it in the wrong place?
▲ Searching for "Five-hole Inclined Socket" on the Internet comes from jd.com A? Zhu Tianyou: We must provide enough sockets in the whole house, otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future, such as toilet sockets and bay window sockets, which are all places I missed. Finally, plan the size of household appliances and furniture you need before the hydropower transformation to ensure that the socket switch is good. I don't want to talk about the embarrassment of hiding the socket behind the sofa.
▲ Because the bed and sofa blocked the socket, the money for hydropower transformation was wasted! Source: mobile0 1.com?
Regret medicine: change the ordinary five-hole socket into a five-hole oblique socket, add a long desk behind the bed/sofa that blocks the socket, the socket can be used, and there is room for charging equipment. ?
Of course, the most important thing is to determine the location of the socket before buying furniture! ?
The third place, the wall waterproof is not done well? Moldy peeling regret?
There are many things that will make you uncomfortable after renovation, but you won't know until you use them. There is only one thing that makes you uncomfortable-a damp, moldy and peeling wall. ?
This situation is especially common in the top floor and the non-waterproof bathroom. If it is broken, there is no other way but to shovel/smash and reinstall it.
CC: Probably 1997, the house is on the top floor. At that time, parents didn't expect to make another waterproof layer, which led to the trouble of moisture regain, peeling and even water leakage after 10 years. Two years ago, I couldn't bear it. I found a street worker to go to the rooftop and rebuilt the original insulation layer. It also cost thousands of dollars, but! ! ! He didn't do it at all ! Later, I couldn't find him, and there was no follow-up guarantee at all! Remind friends who decorate, be sure to find a regular shop! !
Oolong-faced cat winter: the wallpaper is swollen, the wall is not moisture-proof, the lime is peeling off, the things in the house are moldy, and I feel desperate. ?
Changxia: The most regrettable thing about decoration is that there is no best moistureproof. Now I find that the humidity in the room is quite annoying compared with other aspects. ?
Boku. com _ Cat Fan: The owners downstairs complained that the water leakage in our bathroom made their bathroom surface moldy. . . This waterproof one really needs attention, and the cost of secondary decoration is much more than that of primary decoration! ! ! In the process of concealed engineering construction, it is best to have a trusted partner to help supervise. After the construction acceptance is completed, sign it after strict confirmation. ?
Regret medicine: find a reliable decoration company with good reputation and rich after-sales experience, or find a small partner in this line as the supervisor. ?
Second place? It's already designed? But you still gave up your idea.
I want to know my living habits, and I know how to change them in the decoration, but I almost persisted and regretted it for many years. If you have friends who have their own ideas about decoration like the following, stick to it boldly and don't be easily confused by relatives, friends and "professionals". ?
Xinxin: After three years of renovation, the family population has increased from four big and one small to four big and two small. The most regrettable thing is that Kewei failed to install the double basin! ! ! Originally, the location of the double basin was enough. I read a lot of decoration magazines and liked them very much, but my husband and mother both said: There are already two bathrooms, why do you need double basins? There is still room for a washbasin ... I have no patience and have to give up. Now Erwa is two years old. In order not to wake her up in the morning, we dare not wash in the bathroom of the master's room. It is inconvenient for husband and wife to squeeze a basin. Sometimes my husband holds mouthwash and squats in the shower to brush his teeth. I want to change the double basin every day now, but that will involve changing the bathroom door. The project is too big to bear. I am very unhappy!

Yan Minya: The house has been renovated for almost 10 years. What I regret most is that I didn't install floor heating to mark Shanghai. Everyone knows the cold of that winter. There was no money at that time, and my husband desperately opposed it. The reason he came up with was: now that it is warm in winter, who has such an impractical thing as floor heating at home! As a result, it gets colder every year after renovation. After having a child, the old man and the baby suffer together, and the child can't just put it on the ground if he wants to climb and walk. ?

First place?
Retail: Don't care too much about the recommendation of acquaintances. With it, you can only gnash your teeth and swallow it in your stomach. The space on the wall is useless, the ceiling of the lamp is a decoration, and the small parts are broken one way or another. When cooking, the wall brick actually fell off. ?
Chu Yu Tian Ge: trusting acquaintances and contracting to unreliable construction teams; After the hydropower transformation, the height requirement of waterproof coating is known, and the intersection of strong and weak electricity should be shielded; I thought the layout was unreasonable, but after the circuit was repaired, I said the original idea was good; I want to be minimalist, but I have added many European elements to my design and construction. I only blame myself for not being there in person to supervise. ?
Wang: I found an acquaintance to help me install it. My heart is broken and I can't breathe. I took the liberty of leaving only one light connector in the middle of the kitchen, and I chose his favorite cobblestone tiles for the bathroom floor. I want to blow them up!
