People always say that decoration is something that will inevitably leave regrets in the end.

Indeed, anyone who has experienced a renovation will understand the truth behind this statement. Even if you are well prepared before and during the renovation and do a lot of homework, when it comes to the actual renovation, you will always inevitably fall into pitfalls. Some pitfalls may not be discovered at the moment, but after the renovation is completed and we move into the new home and start real life, we will find that it brings various inconveniences to our lives.

In this issue, I will give you an inventory of 6 "failed designs" found in my home. You must avoid them.

1. There is no space at the bottom of the entrance cabinet

For the entrance, it is usually recommended that you make a floor-to-ceiling entrance cabinet, which not only solves the problem of shoe storage, but also maximizes the storage of household sundries. When making an entrance cabinet, many people fail to consider a detail, that is, it is best to leave a gap at the bottom of the shoe cabinet.

When I renovated my house, I did the same thing. I made it into a closed-bottom style. I didn't think it was a big deal at first, but after moving in, I found that it was really inconvenient to change shoes. Many times, out of personal habit, I put my shoes directly at the door after taking them off. I was too lazy to open the door to put my shoes back. Over time, everyone did the same thing, and the shoes I took off were piled at the door, making the entrance look very messy.

It is recommended to leave a gap of about 20cm high at the bottom of the cabinet to facilitate the storage of some daily shoes. In this way, the entrance will be more tidy.

2. Too many partitions in the cabinet

When I customized the cabinets, I basically made partitions for the inner compartments. But in fact, such a design wastes a lot of space. After placing things on the partitions, there is always a large empty space on top. Especially the cabinets on the bottom floor are low and deep. Every time I look for something, I have to lie down and kneel down to search for a long time. In fact, it is very unreasonable.

Therefore, it is recommended that you can appropriately increase the number of drawer-type cabinets.Each drawer can hold items of different types and sizes, reducing space waste. In addition, drawer-type cabinets can be easily pulled out, allowing you to see the items inside the cabinet more clearly without bending over or leaning over, making it more convenient to take items.

3. Choose skin-feel film cabinet doors for cabinets

The kitchen is very greasy, so you should never use skin-feeling film cabinet doors. It looks good, but it is easy to get greasy and leave water marks. Every time you finish cooking, washing dishes and wiping the stove, you have to take the extra step of wiping the cabinet doors, which is just asking for trouble.

It is recommended to choose glossy blister door panels or double-sided cabinet doors. They save money, are wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, and most importantly, are very easy to clean.

4. Kitchen right angle water retaining strip

The kitchen water barrier was the traditional L-shaped right-angle water barrier. After using it for half a year, I found that the two gaps between the glued ones had turned yellow, affecting the appearance. It might even become moldy and black in the future.

It is recommended that you choose R-shaped arc integrated water retaining strip when installing it. It has only one gap and is not easy to accumulate dust.

5. Low-leg sofa

When buying furniture after renovating a new home, people only consider the environmental friendliness of the furniture and whether it matches the style, but completely ignore the issue of cleaning. The design of a low-legged sofa like this is a complete anti-human design. The large gap under the sofa is really too difficult to clean. When sweeping and mopping the floor, you have to squat down and look to know whether it is clean. There are many dead corners that cannot be reached even if you buy a sweeping robot. Isn't it annoying?

It is recommended that if you choose a sofa, you should either choose a high-legged model, which is convenient for cleaning and large enough for a sweeping robot to get in and help, or choose a floor-standing model, which leaves no dead corners for hygiene and saves trouble.

6. Too many open cabinets

Many people think that the more open grids there are, the better it is for easy access. However, after a long time, when the clutter piles up, you will regret it. Because the items stored at home can be seen by guests at a glance when they enter the house, and the mess is easy to ruin others' impression of you, and you have to clean up before every guest comes. It is also annoying to clean up, and dust accumulates everywhere.

It is recommended that you do not leave too much open space when making a cabinet. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate and more aesthetically pleasing to have 20% of a cabinet as open space and 80% covered by cabinet doors.
