The reason why the decoration industry has a bad reputation is because the threshold is too low!

There are various decoration tutorial posts on the Internet, some of which are just following the trend and some are self-installing, but they end up falling into many pitfalls.

In this issue, we summarize 8 interior designs that will make you want to tear down and renovate the minute you move in. I’m not being pretentious, I’m just really intolerable.



01. Make an open sideboard

The decoration I regret most after moving in for a year is the open sideboard. It was a good idea before the decoration, as it could hold decorations, pretty cups and plates, and small household appliances.

As a result, putting things in the open grid will make it look messy at first glance, and it is difficult to keep clean. If it is not wiped for a few days, a layer of dust will form.



Suggestions:

It is better to have a sideboard with doors, so that an open compartment can be left to place cups or decorations. As shown in the picture below, the netizen’s home has transformed the original open sideboard to make it more upscale and beautiful.







02. Bought an elephant ear bed

The elephant ear bed is really beautiful and especially suitable for the Italian minimalist style. The backrest is large and soft, so it is very comfortable to sit on the bed and play with your mobile phone before going to bed.



But the disadvantage is also because of the backrest, which is too big and too thick. For a 2-meter-long bed, the backrest takes up 20 centimeters, leaving only about 1.8 meters. When tall people lie on it, their feet will stick out of the mattress.



Therefore, many people regretted buying the bed after bringing it home. It looks like a very large bed, but in fact, there is not much space for sleeping, and it is very unfriendly to tall people.

Suggestions:

If you really like the elephant ear bed, you must have a relatively large room, and then customize the length of the bed, and the mattress also needs to be customized in size, or choose a modified version to avoid this problem.



03. Install a right-angle wash basin

This right-angled washbasin looks high-end and beautiful, but the four corners will gradually turn yellow, black, and moldy, and you need to use a brush to clean it every few days. Moreover, this washbasin is usually spliced ​​with straight boards of marble glue, which is prone to aging and leakage in the later stage.



The four right angles become less resistant to dirt the longer they are used, and become yellow and slippery. The bottom of this integrated basin is flat and cannot be curved, so water will accumulate. Apart from looking good at first, it is really useless and I wish I could smash it.



Suggestions:

It is better to choose a ceramic integrated basin, which has no sanitary dead corners and is easy to maintain.

04. The bathroom shower room is equipped with glass

The glass used in the bathroom shower room gives a transparent and bright feeling. However, after using the glass for a period of time, it is covered with water stains, and if it is not wiped for half a month, it is so blurry that you cannot see outside clearly.



Water stains are particularly difficult to clean, and many cleaning agents cannot completely remove them.

Moreover, the shower room takes up a lot of space. Its glass is fixed. If the space inside is too large, the dry area will be very crowded after putting down the toilet and bathroom cabinet. If the space inside is too small, it will be inconvenient to take a bath.



Suggestions:

It is better not to install glass but a shower curtain. The bathroom without shower glass will look more transparent and bright. Pull the shower curtain when taking a shower and open it at other times to give a larger sense of space. Besides, the style of the shower curtain can be changed at any time.



05. Choose a low-back sofa

Everyone says that sofas with low backs look good, but they are tiring for the neck and waist. This type of sofa has a simple shape and is more suitable for places with high requirements for aesthetics, such as model rooms and offices where people sit upright.

This type of sofa has a low backrest and provides no support for the head, neck, and shoulders. Sitting on it for a while will make you feel tired and you won’t be able to relax. Therefore, it is not suitable for watching TV or playing with mobile phones at home because the comfort level is too low.



Suggestions:

You should choose a high-back sofa at home, which is designed to support your head and waist. Although it does not look very fashionable, it is comfortable to sit on.



06. Cabinet with flat door and laminate

The kitchen space is small, there are many things, and the cabinets are not used well, so the kitchen is a mess. The cabinets are made of layer cabinets with swing doors, which can easily cause the space inside the cabinet to be piled up, making it inconvenient to take things.



A cabinet with shelves like this is really not user-friendly at all. You have to stack the bowls and plates, and move them if you want to take one.

If it is changed into a drawer, the contents inside the drawer can be seen at a glance and are convenient to take out.



It would be much more practical if the swing door was designed as a drawer. You could design a thin drawer to hold small items such as chopsticks and spoons.



The bowl drawer and pot drawer are designed to arrange the bowls and plates vertically, which can hold bowls and plates of different sizes, making them easy to store and take out.

The pot drawer can hold commonly used but small pots such as milk pots and frying pans.





Suggestions:

Try to have fewer shelves and more drawers in the cabinet. All things can be put into the drawers, so the countertop can remain empty.



07. Floor suction for door suction

90% of homeowners install door stops below, which always gets in the way when mopping the floor and often kicks people's feet. Once, my child was playing hide-and-seek with me, and he hid behind the door. When he came out, he sprained his ankle in excitement. It hurt so much. I really regretted installing it below.



Another type is the floor suction cup. This type of door suction cup does not require drilling for installation and does not damage the ground. It can be directly stuck to the ground. It is beautiful and attractive, and it is not easy to trip people.



But after a long time, the magnetic suction is prone to failure, and it is actually not very easy to use.

Later, I changed my idea and installed the door flush with the ceiling. This is much more practical, with no sanitary dead corners and no risk of tripping people.



Suggestions:

Top suction is a good method. It is usually invisible and not an eyesore. But one thing to note is that some netizens have reported that they have to pull very hard to separate the door suction and the door stopper. Over time, the door suction fixed to the wall will become loose.

The correct way to do it is to press it in first and then pull it out, don't just pull it hard.



08. Make a curved arch

I saw that the curved arches in other people’s homes looked very nice, so I followed suit and built an arch.

After it's done, it looks awkward no matter how you look at it, and it gets uglier and uglier.



Originally, the square doorway is visually inconspicuous, and people’s visual focus is on the atmosphere and eye-catching home furnishings. But once there is an arch, it seems that all you can see is the wall, and the home furnishings become very small and insignificant. The arch element is like a big sign in front of the eyes, which is particularly conspicuous.





Suggestions:

Arches are easy to overturn. If the door opening is too narrow, it will look like an air-raid shelter. If the door opening is too wide, the overall look will be uncoordinated and it will crack later. It is better to have a regular right angle that is more practical and pleasing to the eye.
