When decorating your home, you should pay special attention to the decoration of the bathroom.

Because the bathroom not only involves daily use, but also involves a series of issues such as water and electricity.

If the bathroom is not well decorated, for example, there are water leakage, electric leakage, moisture, odor, etc., it will bring a very bad living experience.

It took me three renovations to figure out how to decorate the bathroom: I'm not kidding about how great it is if there are seven things that the bathroom shouldn't decorate. It took me a long time to understand this.

What are the 7 things you shouldn’t install in the bathroom?

1. Not installing invisible floor drain

When renovating the bathroom, the first thing we should not install is the invisible floor drain.

The so-called invisible floor drain means that after the floor drain is installed, its appearance is similar to that of tiles.

Therefore, the drainage of the invisible floor drain relies on the gaps around the surface of the floor drain.

The biggest advantage of the invisible floor drain installed in the bathroom is its good appearance, and it is also known as the Internet celebrity floor drain.

However, the disadvantages of invisible floor drains are more serious:

1. Untimely drainage will cause water accumulation on the ground.The most common situation is that when taking a shower in the shower room, the invisible floor drain in the shower room drains slowly, causing a lot of water on the shower room floor to be unable to drain and even spread outside.

2. Very easy to get clogged.Because the invisible floor drain relies on the gap around the floor drain for drainage. If some lint or hair is stuck in the gap, you will find that the floor drain is blocked and cannot drain.

3. Cleaning is more troublesome.For example, a long invisible floor drain is relatively heavy, and the gap between it and the drain is relatively small, so it may be difficult to pick it up, making it very troublesome to clean.

Correct approach:

1. Choose a conventional stainless steel drainage floor drain.The surface of the floor drain is a regular drainage hole. This type of floor drain not only drains water quickly, but is also not easy to get clogged. Even if it gets clogged, it is easy to clear.

2. Make sure the slope of the floor drain is level.This is also very important. When laying floor tiles, you should find the slope from the position farthest from the floor drain towards the floor drain.

2. No gypsum board ceiling

As for gypsum board ceilings, I personally have always been against using them in bathrooms.

Especially for family bathrooms, there is usually a shower inside the bathroom.

Of course, the gypsum board ceiling may indeed be better in terms of appearance, and it is easier to set up lighting.

However, gypsum board ceilings also have their applicable scope. For some humid locations, try not to use them.

For the bathroom, if you use gypsum board ceiling, the following situations will occur:

1. The latex paint on the surface of the gypsum board ceiling turns yellow and then has black spots.The reason for this situation is that the gypsum board becomes yellow, moldy and black due to moisture.

2. The gypsum board ceiling sinks.All we can see is that the center of the bathroom ceiling bulges downward, and this situation will become more and more serious as it gets wet.

3. After the gypsum board ceiling was soaked in water, it collapsed completely.If there is a leak in the bathroom upstairs and water drips down below, you will find that the ceiling of your house is soaked and you will have to tear it down and redo it.

Recommended Practice:

1. For most ordinary families, I personally recommend that you choose the more commonly used aluminum gusset ceiling or integrated ceiling. These panels are actually aluminum panels, which are suitable for humid places such as bathrooms.

2. If the budget is sufficient, you can actually choose a honeycomb ceiling. The honeycomb ceiling is better than the aluminum gusset plate in terms of appearance, and it is actually an aluminum plate in essence. It is also very suitable for bathrooms, but the price is high.

3. Do not install ordinary air-heated bathroom heater

When renovating the bathroom, we should try not to install ordinary air-heated bathroom heaters.

Although the mainstream of bathroom heaters at this stage is still air-heated heaters, air-heated heaters are divided into many grades.

Among them, some cheap air-heated bathroom heaters have very poor effects.

The air-heated bathroom heater relies on the warm air blown out by the bathroom heater to heat the bathroom. Therefore, it is not as dazzling as the light-heated bathroom heater, nor is it as hot.

However, if the air-heated bathroom heater is not selected well, the following problems are very prominent:

1. The physical sensation is very bad.The most common feeling people have is that after taking a shower and coming out of the shower room, they feel the cold wind blowing on their bodies, which is chilly and extremely uncomfortable.

2. The air-heated bathroom heater needs to be turned on in advance.If you don't turn it on in advance, you will feel like you are blowing cold wind. Especially when you take a shower, when you turn on the wind-heated bathroom heater, you will feel the wind blowing on your body and feel very cold.

Recommended Practice:

1. In fact, for ordinary families, if there are no children at home, it is recommended that you choose a regular light-heated bathroom heater. The warm bathroom heater heats up immediately after it is turned on, and it is quite easy to use.

2. If we must choose a fan-heated bathroom heater, then it is recommended that you try to choose a better one. For a good fan-heated bathroom heater, the price is actually quite high, most of them still cost two to three thousand yuan, and too cheap ones are really not easy to use.

4. No small white bricks

When decorating the bathroom, one thing you should pay attention to is try not to install small white tiles.

In fact, the small white bricks mentioned here are also a kind of Internet celebrity bricks. Their sizes are very small, and common sizes include 10×10 cm or 20×20 cm.

As for the bathroom, everyone probably knows that there is often water on the floor and in certain areas of the walls.

The internet-famous small white bricks are used in the bathroom. After the decoration is completed, it really looks good and pleasing to the eye.

However, after the actual stay experience, you will find the following problems, which will make you miserable:

1. The gaps between tiles are always sticky and turn black over time.The reason is that there is water in the gap, coupled with dust, which will cause mold and blackening over time, and then it will look very ugly.

2. If there are too many gaps, you will find that the light in the bathroom is affected.Especially if the caulking is not done well, you will find criss-crossing black gaps, making the bathroom feel very dark.

Recommended Practice:

1. For bathroom floor tiles, it is recommended that you choose tiles that are as large as possible.For example, you can choose tiles of 400×400 mm and above for wall tiles. For floor tiles, it is common to lay 800×800 mm tiles.

2. For bathroom wall tiles, try to choose larger ones if size allows.In fact, for most bathrooms, it is very convenient to choose 400×800 mm wall tiles. The method is to cut the 800 mm×800 mm floor tiles into two.

5. No integrated basin with rock slab

When decorating the bathroom, it is recommended that you try not to install a high-looking rock slab integrated basin.

The biggest advantage of the integrated rock slab basin is its good looks.

Besides its high appearance, it also has a very high price. In fact, this fact also makes many friends give up, feeling that it is out of their reach.

The integrated rock slab basin was very popular for a period of time.

Indeed, the integrated stone slab basin has a high-end effect, which instantly fills the space and makes people feel that the bathroom is very classy.

But what's the point of feeling classy? You will find the following problems more serious:

1. The problem of basin falling off is particularly prominent.Because the basin bodies of most integrated rock plate basins are glued with rock plates. The glue is used for pasting. If it is subjected to external force or the glue itself has problems, the basin will fall off.

2. Any part connected to the basin body will turn yellow after being used for a period of time.If we don't clean it up in time, we will find that it will gradually turn black, which is commonly known as mold and blackening.

Recommended Guidelines:

1. For most families, it is actually more practical to choose a ceramic integrated basin.The countertop and basin body of the ceramic integrated basin are both made of ceramic and are integrated, so there is no problem of falling off, mold or blackening.

2. If we particularly like stone slabs, we can choose stone slab countertops and ceramic basins.You just need to pay attention to the reliable reinforcement between the basin body and the countertop, and it can't be just glued.

6. Don’t install a wall-mounted toilet

When renovating the bathroom, you cannot install a wall-mounted toilet.

The installation of a wall-mounted toilet is actually quite troublesome. You need to hide the water tank in the wall and hang the toilet on the wall.

However, compared with traditional toilets, wall-mounted toilets are indeed more beautiful.

What’s more important is that the wall-mounted toilet is installed in the air, so there is no sanitary dead corner under the toilet, making it appear cleaner.

Therefore, it is precisely based on these characteristics that some people follow the trend and choose wall-mounted toilets.

However, after actually experiencing the stay, many people regretted it:

1. Always worrying about the toilet falling down, which brings more burden to your use.One of the most frequently reported problems is that when sitting on the toilet, since the toilet is suspended, the thighs are always pushing against the ground, which makes one feel very tired.

2. Difficult to maintain.If a wall-mounted toilet breaks down, you will find it very troublesome to repair it. Unlike a traditional toilet, you can open the tank cover and repair it yourself. If a wall-mounted toilet breaks down, you cannot repair it yourself.

Recommended Guidelines:

1. For ordinary families, try to choose a traditional floor-standing toilet. This toilet will make you feel more at ease when using it, and is actually more sturdy in nature.

2. If you plan to choose a wall-mounted toilet, you must personally experience the real feeling of using a wall-mounted toilet. That is, you must sit on the toilet hung on the wall to avoid the situation of not daring to use it after installation.

7. No smart mirror

For the bathroom, it is generally necessary to install a mirror. However, it is not recommended to install a smart mirror.

The so-called smart mirror is a mirror with many intelligent functions, such as voice playback, video playback, and even some interactive game functions.

In addition, the smart mirror is really beautiful. After turning on the lights and the screen inside, people will like it very much.

But everyone should know that mirrors are actually used for reflection, and other functions are secondary.

Therefore, for smart mirrors, you will find the following after moving in:

1. More functions, just for show.Some functions like video playback and voice in smart mirrors seem new at first, but after trying them a few times, they are no longer used.

2. Too many functions make the mirror easy to break and difficult to use.Because mirrors have many additional functions, and the bathroom is a humid place, they are particularly easy to break, which always makes people feel uncomfortable when they break.

Practice Guide:

1. Install an ordinary mirror.The specific method is that the bathroom cabinet we choose has a mirror on it. The mirror is an ordinary mirror that can be used as a makeup mirror at ordinary times.

2. Consider a mirror with light.This type of mirror is actually quite practical sometimes. After turning on the mirror light, you will see more clearly and the effect will be better.

When decorating a bathroom, you must consider the actual conditions of the bathroom. That is, the sanitary level is prone to moisture, mold, odor, etc.

Therefore, in view of these characteristics of the bathroom itself, this article shares with you 7 issues that should be avoided in bathroom decoration. I hope you will not step on the pits in these aspects and try to decorate a comfortable bathroom.
