The bathroom and kitchen are closely related to the home life of the owner. They are the focus of home decoration, but they are also difficult points. It is easy to make various decoration mistakes, and they are the hardest hit areas that are prone to problems in the later stage of residence.
For owners who have no decoration experience, there are many pitfalls in bathroom decoration. Let’s take everyone to understand the places where bathroom decoration is prone to mistakes. I hope everyone can learn from it!
Mistake 1: The large countertop with sharp angles makes walking troublesome
The countertop was originally chosen to be able to place some scattered items, but it did not consider that the walking space would be affected after the washing machine was placed. The sharp-edged countertops often cause bumps to the body.
Mistake 2: There is no place to put the phone, leaving the socket as a decoration
The original intention of the design was to put a telephone in the bathroom, but after the renovation was completed, it was found that there was no place to place the telephone, and it was inconvenient to hang it on the wall, so a socket was left as a decoration.
Mistake 3: The power socket is covered by the toilet
After the toilet was installed, I found out that most of the power socket was covered by the toilet, which was very inconvenient to use. It should be thoughtful in advance, so as not to find out after installation, it will be too late to regret.
Mistake 4: The ground slope is not enough, and it takes half a day to enter the water
There is no shower room installed in the small bathroom, and I want to make the space more beautiful through simple decoration. However, the slope of the ground near the floor drain is not done enough, and it takes a long time for the accumulated water on the ground to drain away after every bath.
Mistake 5: The water pipe is going in the wrong direction, and the shower is crooked
When installing the drainpipe, the workers actually moved the pipe from top to bottom. As a result, they did not dare to make holes at random when installing the shower bracket afterwards, so they had to install the bracket in the corner of the wall. The inclined pipe affects the beauty of the bathroom.
Mistake 6: The design is wrong and the water blocking effect is not good
If you don’t need a shower room, you can use stone and a shower curtain, but it should be noted that the stone must have a certain height, and the shower curtain should be lower than the stone. When taking a bath, pull the shower curtain into the stone. Otherwise, it will not have the effect of blocking water at all.
Mistake 7: There are many gaps in the dirt
There are more gaps in the corners of retro toilets, which are good places to hide dirt.
Mistake 8: White and black are not resistant to dirt
Friends with obsessive-compulsive disorder, the bathroom floor should avoid choosing white and black, white and black are the most dirty colors. There is a lot of hair in the bathroom, which falls clearly on the white floor, and the footprints on the black are particularly obvious.
Mistake 9: The utilization rate of the bathtub is not high
Many families use the bathtub once a year, and most of them are used to soak clothes. The jacuzzi is expensive, but the utilization rate is not high. It is not environmentally friendly to wash only one person in a tank of water. It is not recommended for ordinary families to install it.
Friends who like to take a bath can just buy a small ordinary bathtub, don’t waste money. The bathtub is also difficult to clean.
Mistake 10: The decoration materials are not used well
1. The decorative effect of the mosaic is good, but the material price and labor cost are relatively expensive. In addition, if you want to install a towel bar or a shelf where the mosaic is used, you can only choose the method of using expansion screws, and you cannot use the suction cup type. Mosaic is not easy to take care of, and it is easy to hide dirt.
2. The wooden boards are tall. If you are a local tyrant and your house is not cleaned by you, you can skip this one. After a week of use, you can open it and see that it is full of dirt. Even the best boards will rot after a long time of use.
Mistake Eleven: Gadgets can’t be sloppy
I was going to apply a circle of waterproof glue next to the basin, but I didn’t go to a professional building materials supermarket to buy it for convenience, but bought it at a small shop downstairs to make do with it. Who knew it would get moldy after a short time of use. It was so ugly, I regretted it.
For things like waterproof glue, the owner must not buy carelessly because of laziness or fluke mentality. It is more reliable to look for professional brands. A little effort can be exchanged for peace of mind in the future.
