Decoration seems to be a simple matter, but it is actually all about details. Every tiny detail should be given enough attention because it can determine the final decoration effect and even affect the future living comfort.

Of course, it is impossible for us to be perfect in every aspect of decoration, but if we have another chance, we must do the following inconspicuous details well and leave no regrets!

Sockets, please make sure to match the height of furniture and appliances

Why inIn the early stage of decoration, it is necessary to clarify the size of some furniture in advanceWhat should I do? I am afraid of the following situations: some sockets are blocked by the TV cabinet; some affect the installation of the shower cabinet. Once these problems occur, I really want to cry. Because it is not only ugly but also affects the use. If I have to rework it, the cost will be very high.

So the first detail is:Please make sure the sockets are matched with the height of furniture and appliances.

Living room: Determine the size of the TV cabinet, sofa, and side table to avoid some sockets being blocked by furniture；

Dining room: Find out the size of the refrigerator. If it is a zero-embedded refrigerator, it can be perfectly embedded;

Kitchen: Once you have the sizes of various small appliances, you don’t have to buy them yet, but you must inform the workers and the supplier of custom cabinets.

Switch box, please make sure to open the hole in a standard way

This detail appeared in my house. Due to a mistake made by the plasterer, the hole in the tile was too large, and it could not be covered when the socket was installed later. It was really ugly.

So you must pay attention to this detail: the opening of the switch box must be standardized.

The water pipe holes were not properly drilled.The distance between the hot and cold water pipes is not in place., it will be very troublesome to install the shower later. In fact, there are distance requirements for hot and cold water pipes like this, usually 15 cm.

Please make sure to level the wall

If this detail is not done well, it will really affect the beauty of the space.

For example, if the wall is not flat at the location where the spotlight is directly shining, the whole space will be "ruined". Also, if the wall is not flat at the location where the skirting is installed, the skirting will not fit the wall after installation. Therefore, during the decoration process, the wall must be kept flat.

Suggestions: Whether it is a finished house or a rough house, including the newly built walls, you can use a ruler to check the flatness and levelness of the wall. For the wall, you can use a 2-meter-long tool of the plasterer to check. Of course, in the actual decoration, if you can meet a good construction worker, this situation will not happen. What I am afraid of is that some masters are quick and easy, and fool around, and I don’t understand it. I only find this defect after the whole work is completed, and it will be very troublesome to call them again.

The ground must also be kept flat.

Like the walls, the ground where the wooden floor is laid must also be kept flat. If the leveling is not good enough, the wooden floor will make hollow sounds, warp, and become dusty over time, and it will be very uncomfortable when we step on it.

Suggestions: Now there is a construction material called self-leveling, which can replace the traditional cement sand leveling. This self-leveling process has a very high flatness and the price is similar to cement sand. Of course, no matter what leveling material is used, it has a lot to do with the construction personnel. So, a good worker can make decoration easier.

The height of the range hood makes the house better

The range hood is one of the most important appliances in the kitchen. It affects whether the oil smoke generated when cooking is absorbed cleanly and whether the kitchen is troublesome to clean. When decorating, you must keep an eye on the workers' decoration and never be careless about the height of the range hood. There is a limit to the height between the range hood and the stove. If the distance from the stove is too high, the oil smoke will not be absorbed cleanly. The oil smoke emitted from the cooking pot will wrap around the shell of the range hood, the kitchen walls and the stove, which will make it more troublesome for you to clean. Many friends' kitchens are not clean, all because of this reason.

Range hood standard height：The installation height of the range hood should be determined according to the type and suction power of the range hood. Due to its design characteristics, side suction range hoods are usually recommended.Install it between 35-45 cm from the stove surface to ensure the best oil fume absorption effect. European or Chinese style ceiling range hoods may need to be installed at a height of 65-75 cm from the stove.For the specific height, please refer to the product manual or consult a professional installer.

The wall where the cabinet is installed must be flat

Regardless of whether you are hiring a whole-house custom cabinet manufacturer or hiring workers to make the cabinets on site, you must first ask the plasterers to make the wall surface smooth, so that there will be no gaps left by the cabinets not being able to stick to the wall, causing maintenance difficulties later on.

Pay special attention to the special area where the bathroom cabinet is installed: make sure that the two walls maintain a 90-degree right angle, so that you won't cry later because there is a "big crack" during installation.

Lighting design

If the lighting design is not good, the effect is half as good. Therefore, decoration should not only pay attention to soft decoration and hard decoration, but also pay attention to lighting design. Good lighting design can indeed bring a warmer home effect.

Several important factors in lighting design:

Basic lighting: Provide uniform basic light for the entire room, such as ceiling lights, downlights, etc.

Accent lighting: Lighting areas or objects that need to be highlighted, such as using spotlights, wall lamps, etc. to emphasize artwork or paintings.

Auxiliary lighting: increase the sense of layering and warmth of the space, such as using floor lamps, table lamps, etc. to provide soft indirect lighting.

Atmosphere lighting: Create different atmosphere effects by adjusting the color temperature, brightness and other parameters of the light, such as using warm-toned lights to create a warm atmosphere.

Xiao Mu has something to say

Decoration is a complex and meticulous process, and it also requires patience and carefulness, so every detail needs to be done in place.
