Many parents say, "This generation of young people don't know how to live, and they always spend money lavishly." In fact, in my opinion, people of every era have concepts unique to each era. Today's era of rapid development, pursuit of quality, and pursuit of experience is of course also the reason why this generation of young people have "new trendy" concepts.
Take decoration as an example. In the past, when decorating, our parents basically decided on the design and purchased building materials from the perspective of "practicality" and "cost-effectiveness". Today's young people talk about "good looks" and "humanity". Therefore, most parents do not understand the renovated houses.
For example, in the process of decorating the living room, the "eight big items" that young people like have been called "free money" by their parents. So are these eight items in the living room an IQ tax? Is it worth the investment? Next, let me briefly talk about my views as someone who has been through it.
1. Chaise longue sofa
L type chaise longue sofa is definitely one of the eight items that young people of this generation must have in their living rooms. Because the joy it brings is so humane.
Since one end of the chaise longue sofa is similar to a small bed, the pleasure of lying down and watching TV is really hard to resist. In such a fast-paced era, when you return home, you naturally want to be as comfortable as possible. Take the current popular vocabulary, this may be "lying flat".
Although in the eyes of our fathers, "lying flat" has no fighting spirit and no vitality of young people. But after returning home, it is actually quite good to have such a time to lie down and "relax".
However, the chaise longue sofa also has disadvantages, that is, it takes up too much space. Therefore, it is not recommended to invest in small-sized residences.
2. Wall-full of bookcases
It is undeniable that young people in this generation are more "easy to learn". At least they are consistent in their thoughts on hoarding books. And "wall-to-wall bookcases" seem to have become a standard feature for many people when decorating their living rooms.
The design of wall-to-wall bookcases has a certain value for the entire living room, and this value is not only reflected in improving the aesthetics of the living room, but also filling the living room with cultural atmosphere. Or this kind of "exquisiteness" and "pursuit" can better represent the new generation of young people.
Of course, it is recommended that when designing a wall-to-wall bookcase, try to design it as "closed". Otherwise, I have to wipe the dust inside the cabinet every few days, which is quite tiring just thinking about it.
3. Laser TV
A 100-inch hard screen must appear on the TV wall, and ultra-short throw laser projectors (laser TVs) are becoming more and more popular.
I have to admit that today’s young people not only pursue the quality of life, but also pursue the ultimate in experience. In terms of movie-watching needs, the older generation only needs to meet the basic movie-watching needs when choosing a TV. In the eyes of this generation of young people, watching movies must be enjoyable enough. So this kind of "giant screen" is becoming more and more popular.
The 100-inch laser TV, despite its high cost, provides a theater-level viewing experience. Therefore, it is a good investment for families with a certain budget.
However, when choosing a laser TV, the lumens of and must be as large as possible, otherwise it will be really unclear to watch the laser TV during the day.
4. Wooden grille
Grille wood veneer seems to be very popular now, and almost half of the families will use it when decorating the living room. To be honest, the design and installation of wooden grilles are indeed more elegant in terms of aesthetics.
But it must be admitted that it has a serious dust accumulation problem. Because of the structure of the concave and convex grooves, it is destined to be difficult to clean. Therefore, from the perspective of eliminating household chores, wooden grilles are a real IQ tax.
5. Washing and drying set
Abandon the sliding door in the living room or even the clothes drying rack on the balcony, and choose a washing and drying set instead. Such a decoration decision is spreading in the world of young people.
As someone who has experienced this, after experiencing the washing and drying set for half a year, I found that this decision is indeed worth the investment. After all, it does make washing and drying smarter.And after using the drying function, you will find that it is basically inseparable.
The practice of opening up the living room and balcony at the same time is recognized by almost 90% of young people. After all, everyone actually cares more about the view of the entire living room. After all, without the sliding door, the balcony is equivalent to part of the living room.
During renovation, the balcony can be turned into a leisure area, reading area, fitness area, or even an office area.
6. Massage chair
As a standard feature of quality life, massage chair is of course an indispensable part of the living room. Especially after returning home from get off work, your tired body can be released on the massager.
In fact, massage chairs are not only suitable for young people, but also for middle-aged and elderly people. However, the cost of massage chairs is too high, so many people are reluctant to invest in them. In addition, the massage chair is relatively large, so it takes up more space.
Actually, in my opinion, massage chairs are worth buying. Of course, the premise is that you have a certain budget, after all, the experience it can bring is really exciting.
7. Large carpet
In the living room, other household items may not be present, but carpets must be present. It has become a standard feature in the living room and is obviously a must-have part.
Although carpets represent sophistication and beauty in the eyes of young people. But what I want to say is that only by experiencing it can you know that large carpets are actually a bit useless.
Because the size of the carpet is relatively large, the washing machine basically cannot fit inside it. When it gets dirty, you can only take it to the bathroom and rinse it yourself, or find a professional laundry to clean it. The experience is very unpleasant. Without regular cleaning, not only will there be dust on the carpet, but it will also easily breed mites and bacteria.
Therefore, if you want to achieve a home experience that is free of housework and refined, it is a wise decision to get rid of the large carpet.
8. Hidden light ceiling
In fact, not only young people, but even their parents also like to install a "hidden light ceiling" in the living room, because it gives people a grand and beautiful visual experience.
But as someone who has been through it, it is necessary to remind those who are renovating that when installing the hidden light ceiling, it must be closed, as long as the access door is left. Because of the open ceiling with hidden lights like the one above, you will find after moving in that the light trough where the lights are hidden will become a gathering place for dust and a habitat for small flying insects.
What’s even more frustrating is that the interior of this hidden light ceiling is difficult to clean thoroughly. Therefore, it is not that the hidden light ceiling is not worth investing in, but it depends on whether it is designed to be closed or open.
Finally, let’s summarize:
What’s worth investing in: chaise longue sofa, closed wall-to-wall bookcases, laser TV, washing and drying set, massage chair, closed hidden lamp ceiling
What’s not worth investing in: open wall-to-wall bookcases , wooden grille, large carpet, open hidden light ceiling
