Every novice decorator will face a variety of choices when decorating their house for the first time. They can't figure out which one is better, and whether to install this or that. Indeed, many people are busy decorating for the first time, have no experience at all, and are afraid of making mistakes. They even have to struggle for a long time to choose materials. This issue will combine the decoration experience of experienced people to summarize a decoration idea for everyone:When decorating a new house, it is recommended to "install 5 things and not install 5 things". This is not nonsense, but a lesson learned from past experiences.

1. Install a suspended TV cabinet instead of a low-legged TV cabinet



Although the low-legged TV cabinet looks fine at first glance, you will find that this low-legged design is actually useless after you actually move in. Because the TV cabinet is only a few centimeters off the ground, there is a dead corner between the bottom of the cabinet and the ground, which is really difficult to clean. Not to mention that it is difficult to sweep with a mop or broom, even a robot vacuum cleaner may not be able to get in.



If conditions permit, it is more rational to make a suspended TV cabinet. The TV cabinet is directly on the wall, and the distance between the bottom of the cabinet and the ground is more than 15 cm. Without extra cabinet legs, it is much easier to clean, and the overall effect is also very beautiful.

2. Install invisible handles without rebounders



Nowadays, people prefer minimalist style when decorating their houses. They also try not to have handles on the cabinets, so that the entire cabinet door looks simple and elegant, weakening the presence of the cabinet. But how to open the door of a cabinet without handles? There are actually several methods. It is recommended that you use methods such as cutting the corners of the door cabinet, making grooves on the door panels, or hanging the door panels 0.5-1 cm below to facilitate opening the door.



Never install a rebounder, because problems often occur when using this method of door opening. If the rebounder is installed too high or too low, it will easily affect the pressing and rebounding experience. This thing not only has a short service life, but also affects the normal closing of the door.

3. Install curtain box but not Roman rod



You can choose Roman rods or curtain boxes to hang curtains, which are equivalent to an open track and a hidden track. Although Roman rods are easy to install, I personally recommend curtain boxes. The overall feeling is stronger, and only one more process is required during hard installation. Moreover, the effect will be better when installing curtains later, which is suitable for various decoration styles, and there is no need to worry about the light leakage problem of Roman rods.

4. Install a ceramic integrated basin instead of a rock slab integrated basin

The integrated rock plate basin and the integrated ceramic basin are the most commonly used wash basins. Of the two, the integrated rock plate basin is more beautiful. However, it is not recommended to install an integrated rock plate basin.



It is not truly one-piece, but is made of glue. There are still many problems at present, such as: slow drainage, water accumulation all year round, many sanitary dead corners, easy water seepage, and even falling off when the basin is under a heavy load.



But the ceramic integrated basin is different. It is a truly integrated design, so you don’t have to worry about the basin falling off. And the slopes on both sides make the water drain quickly without residual water. The entire basin area is large, but there is no dead corner for hygiene, making cleaning easier.

5. Install soft light tiles instead of matte tiles



Once you have renovated your home, you will know how difficult matte tiles are to maintain. Because of its uneven surface and rough graininess, it is bound to take a lot of effort to clean. In fact, the longer it is used, the dirtier it becomes. Watermarks and shoe prints are clearly visible. No matter how you clean it, the floor will always feel dirty. Except for the bathroom, it is really not recommended to use matte tiles in other spaces.



Relatively speaking, soft light brick is more ideal. It is neither as bright and colorful as glossy brick, nor as difficult to maintain as matte brick. It takes the best of both worlds. Soft light brick gives people a comfortable visual experience, and the surface is strong and wear-resistant, anti-fouling and pleasing to the eye. It is suitable for various decoration styles.
