Please keep this home renovation guide to avoid common pitfalls!

What are we most afraid of during home renovation? It's definitely encountering various pitfalls. But for renovation novices, renovation is a process of constantly encountering and avoiding these pitfalls. As the saying goes, experience makes perfect; the more pitfalls you encounter, the more experience you gain, and avoiding them becomes second nature.

Today, let's take stock of the pitfalls to avoid when decorating different spaces in your home.

#Entrance Space

1. Avoid fully enclosed cabinet doors. If you have a lot of leather shoes and sneakers, you can imagine the smell. Consider louvered doors instead, which are breathable and aesthetically pleasing.

2. Avoid making all slippers floor-to-ceiling; leave some height for frequently worn slippers or slippers to change into at home.

3. Avoid choosing dark colors for the entryway area, as you'll find they get dirty very easily after renovation! Consider lighter colors and patterned tiles instead.

4. Avoid fully enclosed cabinets; instead, opt for open sections or parts of the cabinet to facilitate the placement of frequently used items and the installation of recessed lighting.

5. When it comes to entryway lighting, try to avoid voice-activated lights; motion-sensor lights are more practical.

6. Add hooks to the entryway cabinet for convenient storage of coats, bags, etc.

#Living Room Space

1. Avoid creating complex background walls. The more complex the design, the higher the cost. Some designs are particularly prone to going out of style. If you have the money, go ahead and do whatever you want.

2. Avoid overly ornate crystal chandeliers. While their bling-bling effect is certainly attractive, their high price, high energy consumption, and difficulty in cleaning are all reasons to reject them.

3. Blindly following the trend of no main light design, which is more expensive than the main light design, including the cost of lighting fixtures, circuit modification, etc., may lead to the option of no main light design in some areas.

4. Choose furniture reasonably based on ceiling height and space. Do not choose large furniture if the ceiling is low or the space is small.

5. Don't install a TV blindly. If your home doesn't need a TV or uses it infrequently, you can choose a projector.

#RestaurantSpace

1. If space is limited, choose round tables or booths, as they offer higher seating capacity and are more practical.

2. Avoid cool-toned lighting; warm-toned lighting will make you more hungry.

3. Customize the sideboard appropriately to avoid excessive clutter on the dining table surface;

4. Avoid custom-made wine racks for large areas of the sideboard, as they waste space and are difficult to clean.

#Balcony Space

1. Don't be obsessed with leisure balconies; start from practical needs.

2. For washing and drying on the balcony, do not install wall-mounted drainage, as it is prone to overflow;

3. Whether the living room balcony needs to be opened up depends on the apartment layout and actual needs;

4. Whether or not to enclose the balcony depends on actual needs. If possible, it is best to enclose it to maximize its utilization, which is equivalent to gaining a few extra square meters of indoor space.

5. If you plan to put the washing machine on the balcony, remember to reserve a power outlet, and choose a splash-proof outlet.

#Kitchen Space

1. Avoid choosing wall and floor tiles with obvious textures. The uneven patterns can trap dirt and grime, making cleaning a nightmare.

2. Don't choose all cabinets with hinged doors; pull-out drawers are more practical, especially for wall cabinet space.

3. Don't be obsessed with double sinks; you'll rarely use them all. Consider a large single sink instead.

4. Choose a pull-out faucet for a more comprehensive cleaning experience;

5. Choose a work surface with different heights, as the height requirements differ for cooking and cleaning.

6. Don't just install pendant lights; you can install recessed light strips under the wall cabinets for more efficient supplementary lighting and to avoid blind spots during operation.

7. Avoid having too many small kitchen appliances, as they are used infrequently and take up a lot of storage space;

8. Make sure there are enough electrical outlets, since there are so many small kitchen appliances!

#Bedroom Space

1. Don't point the air conditioner directly at the bed; it will make the air too dry, and you'll know how uncomfortable it is once you use it.

2. Avoid placing the light fixture directly on the head of the bed, as it will be too glaring when lying down with your head tilted back;

3. Avoid having the master bathroom door directly facing the bed;

4. If space is limited, avoid symmetrical bedside tables. You can choose side tables or simply forgo bedside tables altogether.

#bathroom

1. Choose products with separate wet and dry areas whenever possible, as this makes cleaning easier and improves performance.

2. Avoid countertop basins, as they have many hard-to-clean corners and are inconvenient to clean;

3. Avoid choosing floor-standing vanity units, as the bottom is inconvenient to clean;

4. Choose non-slip floor tiles for a higher level of protection;

5. Drainage pipes should be wrapped with sound insulation cotton, except for the top floor.

The above are just some examples of common situations in various spaces. As mentioned before, decorating is a process of constantly encountering and avoiding pitfalls. Do your homework, accumulate experience, and hopefully everyone can create a beautiful and suitable home!
