Renovation is a very stressful thing. I thought I had done enough research and would not make mistakes, but after living in the house for a long time, I found that I had made many fatal renovation mistakes, all due to lack of experience.

Today I have summarized 6 decoration mistakes, hoping to remind everyone to avoid them and not make the same mistakes as I did!

Mistake 1: Choose gun-gray bathroom hardware

I originally thought that black bathroom hardware accessories are prone to water stains and should not be bought, but gunmetal gray ones should be fine, and even the boss suggested so. But later I found that the gunmetal gray shower head was still the same. After it dried, there were visible water stains everywhere, which could not be wiped off. I felt cheated.

I think this situation is either because the water quality at home is too hard, or it may be related to the craftsmanship of the shower head. Because as far as I know, gun gray shower accessories are also divided into water-plated brushed crafts, and there is also a PVD brushed craft that is said to delay the growth of water stains to the greatest extent. The shower head in my house is probably the cheapest spray paint. Not to mention the water stains, I am also worried that it will peel off the paint. It is recommended to avoid it.

Mistake 2: Pursuing large-sized tiles

To be honest, I really regretted laying 1500*750 large-size tiles after moving in. It may be because the house itself is not big, and the effect is not much different from 800*800, because after the furniture is placed later, it is just like that. But from the cost point of view, large-size tiles are really not cost-effective.

It is not only the price of the tiles that is expensive, but also the cost of laying the tiles, transportation, and upstairs, etc., each of which is an additional cost, and it is also easy to be damaged. To be honest, people who move in don’t really care whether the tiles look elegant or not, the key is whether they are non-slip and easy to clean. Friends who don’t have a lot of financial resources are advised not to consider large-sized tiles.

Mistake 3: Installing skin-feel cabinet doors

Skin-feel film cabinet doors are very popular now, but if they are used in cabinets, it is recommended to avoid them. The matte effect of this type of cabinet door is indeed very high-end, and it feels as delicate as skin, which is easy to make people tempted. But if you really use it in the kitchen, you will collapse.

Do you think you can just wipe it off if it gets stained with oil? Not so. Once the skin-feel film cabinet door is stained with oil and water stains, it will leave marks and is difficult to clean. At least I tried to wipe it off with a clean wet towel and it didn't work. So no matter how diligent you are, it will still drive you crazy. It is said that this is also related to the material. The skin-feel film in my house that leaves a fingerprint when you press it is made of PVC. You should choose a better one that is not easy to leave marks, such as PET film.

Mistake 4: Tiles are falsely laid

Everyone says that the effect of laying tiles all the way through is grand and beautiful, and there should be no door sill. Although the workers were told before laying the tiles, because they did not pay close attention to the whole process, the master made a fake all-through paving at the junction of the kitchen and the living room, cutting a piece of tile as a door sill. When I found out, it had already been laid, and the decoration master still said that it was laid like this. The effect was really ugly.

It is recommended to understand in advance what is true through-lay and what is false through-lay, and don't be fooled by a few words from the tile master. True through-lay tiles are laid with butt joints, which is grand and beautiful, so the layout design should be done in advance.

Error 5: Custom cabinet with rebounder

The biggest mistake I made when I renovated the cabinet doors was not to use a rebounder for the handles. This thing broke down after a short time. I had to press it several times to open the cabinet, and the same was true for closing the cabinet. Basically, I had to adjust the rebounder every few days. It was really not suitable for use in the whole house customization. It wore me, a good-tempered person, to the brink of collapse.

Mistake 6: Using the corner of the cabinet as a partition

On the other hand, a mistake made during decoration is to build partitions at the corners of the cabinets, which makes the space unutilized and feels like a waste.

If I could redo the decoration, I think the corners of the cabinets could be made into cross-layers or a corner pull-out basket could be directly installed, which would greatly improve the storage capacity.
