Copy Editor: Allen's cousin
As a senior home editor, every time my cousin writes decoration information to readers, he always adheres to a core: that is, he will have a say after experience.
Previous issues, through the summary and sharing of real decoration experience, my cousin helped readers avoid many pitfalls with reasonable and reasonable standards. . In this issue, my cousin wants to share with you some home decisions that I think are very practical after experiencing.
In my mind, how practical are they? If I install another house, I will still insist on implementing these decisions and copy them again. It’s not that I’m old-fashioned or stubborn, but after experiencing it, I found that each one was “really fragrant”, which really made me taste the sweetness.
in total 10! Next, my cousin will share with you in detail without reservation!
(To make it easier to understand, I also specially made "dry goods mark" on each picture. It is all valuable experience accumulated through time. Most of them have not shared it by other bloggers. It is recommended to read it carefully)
abandoned the entrance floor mat and lay tiles separately
An old house in my house is designed like this. I think it is still very practical over the years, as shown in the figure below.
The interior space is paved with wooden floors. (Because there are elderly people and children at home, considering the warmth and feel of the wooden floor)
▲Place tiles separately in the entrance hall
. Due to the large population, guests often come to the home. The ground on the entrance hall needs to withstand higher frequency of friction, so we lay tiles separately in this area. The benefits are as follows:
①Porcelain tiles are always more wear-resistant and easier to clean than the floor: Dirty shoes, garbage bags, and express boxes can be temporarily stacked. (Even if the garbage bag is accidentally broken, you won’t worry about the dirt flowing) I have lived there for 8 years and it will be as clean as new as you drag it for a few times.
② forms a visual "boundary sense": porch forms a visual independent dust-falling area, and oneself, his family and guests will involuntarily take off their dirty shoes and then enter the house.
▲Redecoration I want to refer to this
and then decorate, I will still implement this decision. The only difference is that I will design it more simple and elegant next time. (of course, the premise is to buy a house with such an entrance)
mirror cabinet reserves hidden tissue port
Decorate another house, I will still choose to install a mirror cabinet in the bathroom, and I will insist on reserveing hidden tissue port for the mirror cabinet.
▲The huge storage space of the mirror cabinet
is actually very simple. When buying a mirror cabinet, let the manufacturer help you open two slots on the bottom plate (bottom plate) in advance.
In this way, put the tissue and cleansing towel on the notch, pass through the notch, and drag it down to easily use it.
▲Paper towel "hide"
reduces visual messiness and reduces the use of walls and countertop space.
is hidden in the mirror cabinet and can be easily accessed without opening the cabinet door. It is clean, atmospheric and convenient, so fragrant!
Sideboard, shoe countertop rock slab
When it comes to rock slabs, probably many people think that they are usually used in finished furniture or cabinets, right?
In fact, the countertops in the hollowed-out area of the sideboard and shoe cabinet are also very suitable for using rock slabs as countertops. I will still implement this decision after installing a house in . The reasons are as follows: the hollowed-out area of the shoe cabinet and sideboard are frequently used and easy to rub. (metal keys, box ornaments, etc....)
Especially on the counter, there may be friction caused by water or small appliances dragging. uses rock slab countertops instead of ordinary wooden countertops, which is more wear-resistant and cleaned, and is also beautiful. (the rock slab has high hardness, waterproofness, wear-resistant and not color-seepage)
However, many customized cabinet manufacturers do not provide rock slab countertops, and they buy offline by small amount, expensive price, and difficult to transport. The merchants may not be willing to sell you.
▲Waterproof, durable
How to operate? (here is the focus of dry goods) can choose to shop online and provide the store with size. For example, the area in the picture can be purchased for about 300 yuan (including transportation), while physical stores may cost thousands. After buying
, let the custom cabinet master help install it. (Bring a meal, buy a pack of cigarettes and treat them with gifts) If it doesn’t work, just install it yourself and put some glass glue on it. (this is how I installed it)
shower room design "accessible"
Based on the consideration of having elderly people and children at home, and in order to make it easier to clean, I will still choose the shower room "accessible" design, which is actually abolishing the traditional water barrier design.
Before sinking and backfilling on the bathroom floor, explain to the bricklayer in advance: shower room should be slightly lower and the dry area outside should be slightly higher. Through the height difference of the partition, a simpler and more natural waterproof design is formed.
This height difference in my house is just right, it is not easy to stumbling, and it can effectively block water. (The floor in the shower room has sufficient slope, and the accumulated water will drain to the floor drain on the right)
Choose a high and low basin in the kitchen
and then install the house. I will no longer worry about whether the kitchen is equipped with double or single grooves. I will choose to install "staircase sink" .
In the traditional concept, it seems that large orders are better than double tanks, but the main comparison is the "small double tank". Because they are not big enough, the pot cannot be put in. In fact, there are already large double tanks that are larger than large single tanks, which can also be washed. (If it is larger, it will be endless. It doesn't make sense. Do you think it's right?)
▲Step sink
So based on the limited kitchen area, "stepped sink" combines the advantages of both. It can wash the pot because it is large enough and a wok with a diameter of 32cm can be completely placed.
If you wash meat, dishes, and vegetables, just store water on the lower side. The higher side can be used to drain.
such as double and single slots, it takes advantage of it.
Compared with ordinary large single tanks, (see the above figure for details) reduces the use of messy accessories, is more refreshing, storage is free of burden, it is really fragrant~
reserves mini washing machine position
and then decorates, I will still insist on reserveing a "mini washing machine position" for my home. This washing machine is mainly used to clean underwear, and it is boiled at high temperature and sterilized and cleansed. You can work independently with the large washing machine at home, which saves time, especially if you have children at home. Cleaning clothes with machines is too important and can save a lot of trouble.
However, I will no longer choose the wall-mounted washing machine. It is said that due to vibration during operation, the hidden danger of falling off later is greater.
So when I decorate, I will choose floor-standing or countertop style. If there is enough space, it will be on the surface. If there is not enough space, it is not impossible to stuff it into the cabinet~
The tiles are made of "Begonia Corner"
▲The tiles are striped
What should I do about the location of the tiles when they encounter tiles? After decorating, I will still choose "Begonia Corner" to process. first pass the most traditional yang corner . I just think it is not good-looking, (do not spray it on my personal opinion) has a rough feeling, and the probability of aging and falling off later is also high.
▲45° collision angle (easy to collapse porcelain)
Secondly, 45° collision angle should be ruled out. Because the tiles are processed into 45° glue, the sides are too sharp and too thin, and it is easy to cause the problem of porcelain collapse and damage during processing or laying.
▲Begonia corner
and processed into "Begonia corner" is optimized based on the original 45° collision angle, retaining the thickness of the edge corners, which greatly reduces the problem of tiles' collapse and damage. After installing the begonia corner, make a curved filler
, the beautiful seam treatment makes a curved filler, reducing the pain of bumps, and is beautiful, round and durable.
When laying wall tiles, it is done to "level the hanging line"
The indoor rough structure of ordinary buildings is actually difficult to ensure that the facades are in a "vertical and horizontal relationship". Whether the original wall is vertical can generally not be seen by our naked eyes.
▲Suspension line leveling
▲Laser leveling (the principle is the same, tool upgrade)
For example, when laying wall tiles in kitchen and bathroom, using " hanging line leveling" can ensure that the shadow corners, the male corners, and the facade planes are more vertical and horizontal. If I renovate (leveling the hanging line, it can be an old-fashioned way to stretch the line, or use a laser level) and then decorate, I will still insist on adding more money to do this process, which is not stubborn or pretentious.
is the tiled wall made in this way. When installing cabinet countertops, bathroom countertops or cabinets in the later stage, it can be installed more "security-tight" and only a layer of glass glue is applied, without the need for a water barrier, it is simpler and more atmospheric and cleaner.
If the verticality is not enough, a larger gap can only be left, which is called "water barrier", which is used to "block the ugly" of this gap. The backstop of
not only has little effect, but also creates an extra hygienic dead corner that is difficult to clean. It also needs to apply more glass glue, which is not beautiful.
If there is no such water barrier, the entire space will look clean and healed a lot. The key is that it is good to be hygienic.
bedroom pre-installed curtain box
Curtain box and curtain rod each have their own beauty. If you don’t talk about aesthetic angles, just talk about functional angles. With curtain boxes, curtains are less likely to leak light at dawn.
In short, if you decorate again, I still insist on making curtain box in the bedroom. I believe most people are the same as me, but I don’t want to be awakened by the light leaking of the curtains before it even got up.
Bathroom menu package door cover or not door cover
After so many years as a home blogger, I have encountered too many cases where the bathroom has installed door covers and the bathroom cabinet is too close to the door cover, which makes the drawer unable to be opened... (of course, this is not entirely because of the door cover, and it is related to the lack of careful design. Here is just a case that exists objectively)
The reason why I insist on single door cover or not door cover is not only because of the above. , but the door cover in the bathroom is not very effective, but it will increase the difficulty of cleaning.
If you make door covers near the wet area of the bathroom, there will be many gaps and corners around the door cover. (as shown in the picture above)
▲No door cover (no inside and outside)
If you don't do it, just use the corner of the tiles to paste it, and then make the begonia corners I mentioned above. Not only is it clean and beautiful, but there are few gaps and easy to take care of. I don’t worry about whether the bathroom cabinet drawer will not be opened if it is installed on the side.
▲Single-pack door cover (outside but not inside)
Of course, this refers specifically to the bathroom area, so don’t bring it into other spaces. Some friends may still think that the door cover looks good, and there is no need to be as "extreme" as me. You can choose "single bag". The door cover outside the bathroom is not covered in wet areas inside. This not only meets your preferences, but also facilitates hygiene. A win-win situation~ (see the picture above)
said that in the last
, the cousin tried to make an objective and reasonable statement as much as possible. Of course, it is still not ruled out that there is a little subjective view, which is also inevitable. I believe everyone understands it! I would like to dedicate this article to readers who are troubled by decoration or are about to decorate. Thank you for reading!
