Bad design is like a cloud of smoke that hides the truth.In the new home decoration, everyone wants to decorate the home beautifully and uniquely, so they rack their brains to do some "personal" design.And time is a mirror that can knock all illusions back to their original shape.
When I first finished the decoration, I felt very beautiful, but after I actually moved in, I found that the decoration design that I was "proud of" was just a joke in the end.
In this issue, I will share with you the 6 decoration designs that have been beaten back to their original shape in less than a year after my house moved in, and I just hope to remind friends who are decorating.
Minimalist window sills. The so-called minimalist window sill design is to remove the traditional window sill stone hanging, small ears, window sill design, only on the window sill to lay a layer of stone decoration.
Compared with traditional window sill stones, the practice of minimalist window sill stones does seem to be cost-effective, simple and high-end, but in fact, most of them have been "beaten back to their original shape" by time.
Minimalist window sill because of the process, the first problem is that the window sill stone and the original wall connection will crack.
Just like my house, because of the different materials, it was only connected with putty during construction, and although the mesh cloth was pasted, it cracked in less than a year after moving in to the window sill where the wind and sun were often exposed to the wind and sun.
Although some people suggest that when making a minimalist window sill stone, it will be 1cm more protruding than the wall to avoid cracking, but in fact, this method is only a face project, and the joint will still crack after a long time, and the crack will continue to expand.
Secondly, the minimalist window sill design because the other three sides are not covered, so the original window uneven offset printing will be exposed to the outside, as ugly as it is, there is no minimalist effect at all.
Unless you eradicate all the original rubber and find a professional master to glue again, the cost is not as good as directly announcing the package on four sides.
Despite so many shortcomings, the popularity of minimalist window sills has increased instead of decreasing, and it is becoming more and more "involuted", and even some "Internet celebrity bloggers" do not even do window sill stones in order to pursue minimalist effects.
Although I can't see the problem in the short term, based on the experience of the "minimalist window sill" installed in my home, after a long time, there will definitely be problems such as cracking and peeling.
Renovation Tips:
As a location close to the window, the float is exposed to the wind and sun every day, and sometimes even dewdrops flow on it, so the design of the window sill should not only pursue aesthetics at the expense of practicality and durability.
If you want to be comfortable in the position of the window sill and not pile up clutter, the best way is to put a soft and comfortable cushion, even if you quarrel with your boyfriend, you don't need to divide the room, just let you sleep on the window sill.
The half-height partition wall design of the bathroom used to be the "proud" decoration design of my home, but now it has become a joke.
Half-wall design. The dry area of the bathroom is designed with half walls, which is favored by many decorators because of its ultra-high appearance and the characteristics of making the bathroom look spacious and bright.
When my house was first renovated, I had to show off this "half-wall design" every time my friends came to visit, but after a year of moving in, this half-wall design made me miserable.
When you first enter the house, there are few things in the bathroom, so this half-wall design looks clean and premium.
But life is full of trivial things, and as the days go by, there are more and more things on the sink, and as long as you don't clean up for a day, it will look particularly messy.
Especially when there are guests at home, you have to put them all away naked, otherwise you can see the traces of messy life at a glance in the living room.
Therefore, this kind of half-wall design is just starting to look good in photos, and it is not practical at all. Except, of course, if you are a very hardworking person.
Renovation Tips:
There are many advantages of moving the handwashing station outward, but the separation of dry and wet can make the space look larger, but the bathroom is a space with high privacy in the home, so when moving the handwashing station out, the issue of privacy should be considered.
After making the design of the handwashing station moving outward, it is recommended not to tear down the wall to make a half-wall design, not to mention the labor and materials, the key is not practical.
Just maintain the design of the original wall, which not only retains the advantages of the open handwashing station, but also maintains a certain privacy.
The shower room uses frameless glass as a partition to form a semi-glass design, which looks simple and advanced, and is the choice of many people when making a shower room.
However, more people find out that this design has great disadvantages after moving in.
Just like my home, I made this semi-glass design because of its good looks, and after moving in, I found that it was a furnishing, and it couldn't play a role in blocking water at all.
Even if you take a shower with a hand-held shower, every time you take a bath, the entire bathroom floor will flow with water, and it is particularly troublesome to clean up.
Renovation Tips:
Wrong size.
The main reason for this problem is that it has been misled by many "Internet celebrity bloggers", and the glass partition is too narrow, and the size of the conventional shower room is generally 90 90cm, and this semi-glass design is generally about 50cm, so it can't play a role in retaining water at all.
If you want to do this kind of semi-glass design, you must meet the following two conditions to play a role in water retention:
The width of the bathroom is wide enough, at least 1More than 5m, make the glass partition more than 70cm.
The bathroom has a sunken shower room so that water stains do not flow to the dry area.
If the width of the bathroom is less than 15cm, it is recommended that you still honestly make this kind of glass partition with a door, make it with a very narrow frame or no frame, it looks as good, and the key is practicality.
The dining room is a warm space, the family sits around the table, and under the background of the warm chandelier, a table of simple meals looks beautiful and delicious, full of laughter, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and every meal seems to be an anniversary.
The chandelier in the dining room was originally renovated in my home, and I imagined countless scenes of enjoying a candlelight dinner with my boyfriend under the warm light.
However, romance is occasional, daily life is the norm, and there are still many disadvantages worth noting in the choice of chandeliers in restaurants.
Among them, the most painful thing about the chandelier in the restaurant is that when you eat hot pot at home, the steam of the hot pot will evaporate directly into the inside of the chandelier.
Therefore, if you also like to eat hot pot at home, you still need to carefully consider this aspect when installing chandeliers.
Renovation Tips:
For the lamps and lighting in the restaurant, I personally recommend not to choose this very low chandelier, although it is wasteful, but there are certain flaws in practicality.
For restaurant lights, I recommend the fan light the most, especially in spring and autumn, the fan light plays a huge role in the restaurant, especially the flowing air makes people feel very comfortable.
If you feel that the atmosphere brought by the fan light is relatively poor, you can add a few spotlights on the side of the restaurant, which can also make the restaurant very warm.
If you can't accept the fan lamp and must install a chandelier, it is recommended to try this movable chandelier, which can realize the transformation of different positions, so that you are not afraid of the problem of leakage caused by the water vapor of the hot pot.
The suspension bed can be said to be the most popular design in the bedroom at present, it can not only customize the size at will according to your own habits, but also has a sense of technology, which makes people feel very tall.
Therefore, I did not hesitate to choose the DIY suspension bed when decorating my home, and the effect just finished really made me very satisfied, and it became the "proud" design of my home.
But after less than a year of occupancy, some of its shortcomings have been "revealed".
The suspension bed is generally welded with a steel structure, and then the wood veneer cover is used, so the board it is exposed to the outside is particularly easy to bump into the feet, especially at night when you go to the toilet in a daze, and come back to be knocked down, which is a pain that touches the soul.
And the suspension bed is generally in a fixed mode, so it can not be moved at will, if you want to replace the bed, you can only remove it together with the wall panel, which increases a lot of decoration costs.
Renovation Tips:
If you want to make a suspended bed, it is best to choose a finished bed with a soft package around it, so that you can move without worrying about bumps.
The cup washer is generally commonly used in bubble tea shops or Western food restaurants, and later moved to the kitchen space at home by some Internet celebrity bloggers, which actually looks very "tall".
However, this cup washer design is only a "medium to the eye" design, and after less than a year of use, I feel its chicken ribs.
First of all, the bottom of the cup washer is particularly difficult to clean, so it is easy to get moldy, and if you want to clean it, you need to remove the entire cup washer, which is very troublesome.
Secondly, the cup washer can only simply rinse the inside of the cup, and the outside of the cup still needs to be cleaned manually, unless there are a lot of cups at home, otherwise this design is really not used.
Summary at the end of the article:
Decoration in the appearance is important, but we can not ignore its practicality because of the appearance, a good design should be "easy to use and good-looking", without one can not be called "good design".
Therefore, it is understandable that the new home decoration wants to be personal, but we must understand more about the essence of these personalized designs, whether they are durable, and do not be blinded by their good-looking "appearance smoke".
