Home decoration is not something that can be completed in a short period of time. In the process of decoration, many details need to be controlled by the owner in an all-round way, so as to avoid leaving regrets in the decoration to the greatest extent. Let's learn some home decoration knowledge together with the promotion decoration!

Home decoration planning and layout

1. Large and small distribution pattern

The place with the best lighting and the largest space is reserved for the core area; daylight can make people feel uplifted and cultivate an optimistic mood (but this natural light is gentle, not the kind that is exposed to the west). In a space with sufficient natural light, people will feel very comfortable .

If the family is small, if you want to enlarge the space in the core area, you have to reduce other spaces or functions. If the living room needs to be enlarged, the master bedroom may become smaller; don’t think that there are any layouts, but you can use multi-functional spaces or open designs, such as living room and study room, combined with living room and dining room, etc., to enlarge the space.

2. Find the core area

The so-called core area refers to the space where the family spends the longest time, and then the main layout of the home is determined based on this. For example, if you spend the most time watching TV, the core area is the living room; if you eat for a long time, the core area is the restaurant. The more attractive the design of the core area, the more the family will want to stay here. Family members interact and communicate with each other more, in addition to making one's mood more stable, the relationship between family members will also be better.

3. Ventilation and lighting are more important than style

The ventilation and lighting are not good, and no matter how much money is spent on decoration, the house is still uncomfortable to live in. What is good ventilation? Most people often mistakenly think that if there are windows open, it is called ventilation. No, it is called ventilation when there are windows on more than two walls, and there are air outlets and air inlets so that the air can flow.

As long as the house has good lighting and ventilation, even if there is no interior decoration, or the furniture is bought in an ordinary furniture store, you can still live comfortably. Because there is sunshine in the home, it is very beautiful, and you will feel that there is really no big deal in this world; if you add a lamp and a chair, even the loneliness can be healed

Common Mistakes in Home Decoration

1. Did not try the color before painting the wall

When you fancy a paint color, buy it, and start painting the walls. This is one of the most common mistakes in home improvement. The true color of the paint on the wall may be completely different from how it appears on the color chart. Paint some small samples on the wall first and see how they look in different lights. This may delay the painting plan for a week or two, but it can avoid unnecessary frustration.

2. Buy a shag rug

Like the trendy Greek Shag rug, with its plush feel and cozy chic style, it's easy to splurge. The problem is that they shed more hair than Labrador Retrievers. Some homeowners get used to living with wool floating in the house and not being able to vacuum it, but most will find it not worth it and end up having to dispose of the rug or put it away.

3. Install marble countertops

Just like high-heeled shoes with a sense of design, fashionable women will still choose to own them no matter how others persuade them. Marble countertops are also too beautiful for many owners to resist the temptation. They will have the unrealistic idea that the beauty of the material will make up for the high cost of maintenance; but when scratches and stains quickly appear on the countertop, they will inevitably regret their decision. Considering durability, the new and improved quartz stone countertops will be a better choice.

4. Decorate the living room with colorful sofas

To add liveliness to a seat or sofa, you can change the color of the throw pillows and cushions, but when you do end up with a sofa that is garishly colorful or overly patterned, your home's taste is at stake. It may look trendy and attractive for a while, but when the sofa dominates the design of the entire living room, you will want to change to a more neutral sofa after a few years.

5. One time completion

Doing an entire interior renovation at once can often lead to regretting a hasty decision. It feels good to buy a complete set of furniture and complete the matching decoration after you move in, but when you actually start living in your new home, you may notice that the new curtains can’t block the light from the sunny living room. It’s fashionable to place an order online with one click. The bed was not as good as the old fashioned, also realized that the office area and guest room should be swapped. But you've blown your budget... mature design takes time, don't rush it.

6. Lay a white carpet

A clean white underfoot is stylish and chic, and if you're a clean person and you don't have kids or pets in your home, keeping a floor-to-ceiling white rug or white square rug clean might seem like the way to go. In fact, that doesn't work either. Even if you don't wear shoes in the living room and vacuum every day, the white carpet will inevitably be discolored by dust.

Home decoration is a "minefield" that cannot be touched

1: Destruction of load-bearing walls

Punching holes in the walls, demolishing the walls connecting balconies and doors and windows, enlarging the size of original doors and windows, or building additional doors and windows during house decoration may damage the load-bearing walls, cause local cracks in the building, and even seriously affect the earthquake resistance of the room, shortening the service life.

2: Floor paving marble

When decorating your home, you need to pay attention to not paving all the floors of the building with marble. Because marble is dozens of times heavier than floor tiles or wooden floors of the same area, if the floor is all covered with marble, it may overwhelm the floor.

3: Punch holes in the concrete circular hole plate

Pay attention when decorating the home, try to avoid drilling holes, drilling holes, hanging ceilings and installing artistic lighting fixtures on the concrete circular hole plate, otherwise the structural strength of the circular hole plate will be destroyed, which is not conducive to building safety.

4: Unauthorized dismantling and modification of gas pipelines

During indoor decoration, you must pay attention to the safety requirements of gas pipelines and equipment, and do not dismantle and modify pipelines without authorization, so as not to affect the normal operation of the gas pipeline system. In addition, it should be noted that the horizontal distance between the power pipeline and equipment and the gas pipeline shall not be less than 10 cm, and the net distance between the intersection of the wire and the gas pipe shall not be less than 3 cm, so as to avoid fire caused by the electric field.

5: The gas stove is placed on the wooden floor cabinet

When decorating the kitchen, don't patronize the appearance, put the gas stove on the wooden floor cabinet, let alone wrap the gas main valve on the wooden floor cabinet. Because if the floor cabinet catches fire, the main gas valve is difficult to close in the fire, and the consequences will be disastrous.

When choosing household wires, be sure to use copper wires and avoid using aluminum wires. Aluminum wires have poor electrical conductivity, and the wires are prone to heat during use, causing loose joints and even fires. In addition, it should also be noted during construction that it is not possible to dig grooves and bury wires directly on the wall, but to use regular casing installation to avoid leakage and fire.

6: The bathroom leaks

Bathroom waterproofing is one of the key links in bathroom decoration. If the waterproof work is not done well, it will cause water leakage in the toilets of the residents downstairs and cause disputes among neighbors. At the same time, if there is a waterproof problem after the decoration, all the ground work in the bathroom needs to be reworked, which is very troublesome.

7: The ceiling is too large and feels depressing

When some residents are decorating their homes, in order to pursue a luxurious style, all the walls are covered with panels, and even two or three layers of three-dimensional ceilings are inlaid on the original ceiling, which is not advisable. This not only reduces the space area of ​​the house, but the decoration cost will be high, and it is not conducive to fire prevention. If the ceiling is too low, it will make the whole room feel depressed, which is thankless.

8: The chandelier is too heavy

Although the chandelier hanging in the home is beautiful, it is like the "Sword of Damocles" on our heads. If it falls down one day, it will not be fun. Therefore, before hanging a chandelier at home, you must pay attention to the load-bearing capacity of the supporting hook. The hook must be able to bear 4 times the weight of the chandelier to be safe.

Home decoration is not something that can be completed in a short period of time. In the process of decoration, many details need to be controlled by the owner in an all-round way, so as to avoid leaving regrets in the decoration to the greatest extent.
