Buying a new house is certainly a happy thing, but for many owners, the decoration process is not very pleasant. Not only do they have to bargain hysterically with the building materials boss, but they also have to fight wits and courage between the decoration company and the construction team every day. Finally, after the whole house is decorated and moved in, they find that many places in the house are not decorated well, and there are decoration failures everywhere, which is regrettable.

This issue is aimed at new decorators, and will give you an inventory of 10 "decoration failures" in decoration. These are all details that require special attention. I hope that new owners can prevent them before they happen and avoid pitfalls on the road to decoration.

1. The effect of noble silver seam is overturned

I chose gray flooring for my home, and I wanted a color close to the color of the grout, but the decorator insisted that I choose noble silver. The effect after laying the floor was really disappointing, and it looked dirty. I regretted not insisting on my own opinion.



Later I learned that the reason they recommended noble silver was not because the color matched well, but because it was easier. The shiny silver can be used to cover up some rough techniques, and it is not necessary to be too perfect when cleaning the gaps.

2. No water supply and power supply for the robot vacuum cleaner was reserved in advance



When I was renovating my house, I planned to buy a robot vacuum cleaner, but I didn't know that I had to leave water supply and drainage. I planned to set aside a corner in the living room to put it, but after installing it, I found that it was not feasible. First, there was no power supply, and second, I needed to drill holes for water supply and drainage. For this reason, I had to cut the kitchen cabinet and find a new place for it.

3. There is no power supply next to the sofa to charge the phone



Friends who are addicted to their phones, don't forget to reserve sockets on both sides of the sofa, so that you can watch TV while browsing your phone. After all, connecting a power strip will be in the way and look ugly.

4. The bottom of the low-legged sofa is difficult to clean



Every time I clean the living room, the low-legged sofa is really frustrating. It is difficult to clean the bottom of the sofa, and the robot vacuum cleaner cannot get in. The key is that things often fall on the ground and are kicked under the sofa, so I often have to lie on the ground to look for things, which is very speechless.

5. The lights in the restaurant are not directly above the dining table



When renovating, I bought a dining table and placed it in place, only to find that the reserved dining room light position was not directly above the dining table. It is best to plan this in advance, otherwise it will cost money and not look good to move it later.

6. No sideboard installed



It is best not to save money on the sideboard. If the space and economic conditions at home allow, it is better to install one in the dining room. It can not only increase the storage space, but also improve the overall decoration level. Anyway, I am quite sorry that the dining table is now piled with kettles, milk bottles and other sundries. I have to move and clean up before each meal, which is troublesome.

7. The cabinets don’t reach the ceiling



The designer did not remind me that if the cabinets were not installed at the top, there would be dead corners above. After installation, it felt like it was hanging halfway up the mountain, which was not grand and beautiful enough. And it is obvious that after one year, the top of the cabinets would be covered with dust and oil. I would cry every time I cleaned it.

8. Black countertops show water stains



If I could choose my kitchen decoration again, I would not choose black countertops. I thought black is dirt-resistant and does not bleed color, but in the end, it will leave white stains when it touches water, which is more obvious when the water quality is hard. Of course, there is another thing that I don’t know whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage, that is, soy sauce dripped on the countertop is not very noticeable.

9. Cabinet doors are difficult to maintain:



The cabinets should not have shaped doors, but flat ones, which are simple and elegant. There are too many grooves on the shaped doors, and the kitchen itself has a lot of oil smoke, which will make it difficult to clean the dirt.

10. Wardrobe rebounder is easy to break



The wardrobe without handles does improve its appearance, but I use a rebounder, which really affects the experience. Not to mention that you need to find the right position and press the door to open it, which is an extra step compared to using handles. The key is that the rebounder is very easy to break. In the past six months, it has broken down 2-3 times, and it won't pop out after pressing it. And after installing the rebounder, there are always some small problems with the wardrobe, such as gaps, not closing tightly, etc.
