1. The partition of the shoe cabinet should not go all the way to the end. Leave a little space so that the dust from the shoes can leak to the bottom layer. Install lights above the sink and gas stove. When deciding the location of the bathroom floor drain, you must first think about it and measure the size. The floor drain is best located on one side of the brick. If it is in the middle of the brick, no matter how the brick is tilted, the floor drain will not be at the lowest point.

2. There are no switches in the bathroom and air-conditioning sockets. Especially for bathroom electric water heaters, it is advisable to use a two-stage switch with one plug. If you want to turn off the electric heating, it is dangerous to pull out the plug

3. Regarding the treatment method of the external corner of the tiles, it ultimately depends on the level of the workers. If the level of the plasterer is good and the tools for grinding the tiles are better, you should not hesitate to choose the method of grinding at a 45-degree angle. From the effect point of view, as long as the grinding is good, the method of grinding the external angle of 45 degrees is the most beautiful! If the worker's level is really not very good, then you should choose to use the external angle strip, because the 45 degree angle is not polished well. The angle method is not as effective as using a sun angle strip.

4. The pressure test of the water pipes after arranging them is also very important. Everyone must be present during the test, and the test time is at least 30 minutes, preferably one hour if conditions permit. 10 kg of pressure is applied, and the test can be passed without any reduction in the end.

5. When making plastic steel doors, be sure to calculate the size of the plastic steel door frame protruding from the wall, and inform the installer so that the final door frame and the wall with ceramic tiles are flat, which is both beautiful and beautiful. Good for hygiene.

6. The carpenter’s door covering and the mason’s tiling should also match. When covering the door cover, you must consider whether the ground below (any side of the ground on both sides of the door) needs to be tiled or not. Other cement mortar leveling matters, because if the door cover is nailed before applying the ceramic tiles, it will be wrapped all the way to the ground. When cement is used in the future, if the cement and the door cover are stained, it will cause the wood of the door cover to absorb water and become moldy

7. The bottom of the mattress and the bed board must be breathable. It is generally best to use fir boards for bed boards

8. Use paper tape as much as possible when painting

9. Pay attention to when buying lamps: generally try to use glass, stainless steel, copper or wood (shelf) Yes, generally don’t buy iron with other coatings, paint, etc., as it is easy to fade.

10. Try to use ceramic basins for washbasins. Glass basins are difficult to clean.

11. You must plan your own plans for water and electricity renovations and ask them to open them in straight lines. I watched them draw the lines and opened the cao according to the drawn lines. Each item must be checked and accepted by yourself.

12. Waterproofing must be done well and the water must be tested!

13. Many verbal agreements during construction have become a gap for being ripped off at checkout. They must be written in black and white. , for all items that are added or subtracted, be sure to ask for the price clearly and write it down!

14. If the floor is installed on the ground, the ground must be re-cemented and flattened.

15. For kitchen doors, it is better to have wooden hanging rail doors made by a carpenter who is renovating.

16. Install as many power plugs as possible in the living room.

17. A partition should be made outside the shower in the bathroom. Don't try to save trouble by pulling up a shower curtain. It's actually very inconvenient and water flows all over the floor.

18. The materials for doors and door frames should be made of materials with fine wood grain.

19. Before installing cabinets, be sure to confirm whether the waterway in your home is OK.

20. Don’t choose white kitchen and bathroom floor tiles.

21. Pay special attention to smoothing the putty on the ceiling before applying Dulux

22. The number of lights in the living room should not be too many and should be simple, otherwise it will look like a lighting store!

23. When buying things that need to be installed, try to ask the seller to install them. If installation is not included, you must insist on paying the full price after the installation is complete!

24. During the renovation, carry the business cards of the manufacturers and merchants that you have collected before.

25. It is best to remove the protective film of the aluminum gusset plate before installation.

26. It is best to use shutter doors for shoe cabinets to prevent odor. You can leave a socket next to the shoe cabinet for drying shoes.

27. A small lamp can be placed where the vegetables are cut.

28. If it is convenient, the restaurant can also arrange a fan so that the ceiling of the hall will not be dirty when eating hot pot or barbecue.

29. It is best to arrange a cabinet for storing sundries at the door, which can be placed on top of the shoe cabinet. It is very convenient to put commonly used things such as umbrellas, bags, scissors, change, frequently taken medicines, etc. there.

30. There is absolutely no need to use expensive ceilings. If you are not too worried about moisture and oil fumes, it is recommended to use moisture-proof gypsum board with waterproof paint. A customer guard in my house did this and it is very beautiful. If you must use aluminum gusset ceilings, suggestions:

1. It doesn’t need to be too expensive.

2. Use solid colors, especially for kitchen ceilings. Pure white is good. Unless the colors match the decoration style, it will easily be inconsistent.

3. Make up your own mind and don’t believe in those who sell smallpox. Their vision is really vulgar.

4. Keep an eye on the scene yourself. It is very important to close the edges. Don’t let them be sloppy, otherwise they will leave black seams, which will look ugly no matter how you look.

31. The third day is mainly about drilling holes and continuing to paste the ceramic tiles. The exhaust holes of the range hood and water heater must be drilled in advance. If you wait until the ceramic tiles are pasted before drilling, it will not work. Convenient. Therefore, before decorating, be sure to select range hoods, stoves, water heaters, etc. to determine the size of the holes.

32. Considering that although the custom-made cabinets are beautiful, they are not durable, after considering the opinions and experiences of some students online, the base cabinets are made of cement as the frame, with porcelain tiles on the inside and outside, and marble on the countertop. Wall cabinets and cabinet doors are still made of wood. The cabinets made in this way are durable and moisture-proof. And it doesn’t cost much. Many neighbors saw it and said yes, this is not my fault.

33. After the door covers are completed, the plasterer will start the installation of plaster lines and wall plastering. The walls of my house are originally relatively flat, so 2-3 coats are enough. When criticizing the dust, you need to criticize and polish it once, then apply primer, polish it again after brushing, and finally brush the topcoat twice with ICI. The whole wall looks smooth and even, which is really good. After the wall and ceiling project was completed, the carpenter started making the wardrobe. The wardrobe is made of 18cm Weiye brand large core board, with a decorative panel on the outside. Although it is not as beautiful as the one bought in a furniture store, it is durable and the quality should be better than those bought in a furniture store. I'm not afraid to stand on the cabinet board. I'm afraid it won't work if you buy it. The back panel is also relatively thick, the one I bought is very thin.

34. Other students must pay attention to the following points when laying ceramic tiles:

① It is best to be on site.

② Some imperfect tiles can be pasted by workers in places that cannot be seen in the future, such as behind cabinets, sinks, mirrors, etc. Pay attention that flower tiles, waist tiles, etc. are not pasted by workers. The above position, otherwise you will not see anything in the future and spend money in vain.

③Wall tiles and floor tiles must be soaked in water for sufficient time before they are pasted.

④Be sure to plug the floor drain with something to prevent cement from falling down and clogging it. The floor drain in my house was clogged because of falling cement. I spent 30 hours trying to find the management office to clear it, and a lot of small pieces of mud came up.

⑤ When people are on site, workers will not waste too much ceramic tiles. My family was not present when the tiles were being laid. When I went to see it later, I was very sad that a lot of bricks were wasted. It was all hard work.

35. The length and height of a wall. For example, if a bathroom has four walls, the length and height of each wall must be measured. Then deduct the area of ??windows and doors. Finally, calculate the area of ??the ground. After you measure the dimensions, you can also take them to a store that sells ceramic tiles, and they will help you match them. Just add 5 percent loss.

36. It is best to have dual-control ceiling lights in the bedroom, one by the door and one by the bed, so as to avoid having to lie in bed and turn off the lights again in the winter.

37. The location, height and spacing of the sockets must be calculated well. First, I encountered a steel bar where I was laying the cassette. Then I placed the cassette and found that it was blocked by the TV cabinet, microwave oven, and desk. I had to move the first two pieces of furniture higher. In the end, I found that not only was the height not ergonomic, but it was also unaffordable. Suitable stainless steel cabinet legs can only be customized with aluminum legs.

38. Just install one at each corner of the aisle, which is bright and effective.

39. When installing the lamp, I did not consider the position of the dining table. Now the lamp is not in the center of the dining table.

40. Don’t use too plain bathroom tiles. First, they will get dirty easily, and secondly, they will become too plain after a long time!

41. Install more sockets and buy furniture from outside. The floor must be resistant to dirt, safety must be considered, sample rooms must be viewed, and principles must be adhered to.

42. There is no need to buy high-priced aluminum gussets. The very cheap aluminum gussets are far better than PVC. No matter how much you spend, you will not see a significant difference in the effect. When buying aluminum gusset plates, you should pay special attention to the keel rather than the aluminum gusset plate itself (the object of the aluminum gusset plate is too large to be manipulated), and ghosts are often found on the keel.

43. It is difficult to find a satisfactory color for the floor tiles, and I have not found one. However, staggering two unsatisfactory colors and turning them at a 45-degree angle can achieve an effect that I am very satisfied with. This is a good suggestion put forward by the bricklayer himself.

44. If you build a cabinet on the top of the balcony, adding a layer of foam plastic board on the back of the cabinet will be very effective for thermal insulation and waterproofing. It is best to use fireproof boards for balcony cabinet doors to keep them from deforming. The environment on the balcony is relatively bad.

45. If you don’t have suitable wooden moldings, you might as well have them custom-made. The quality of the custom-made ones seems to be better than the samples. And customization is more personalized.

46. The stainless steel legs used for bathroom floor cabinets are huge profits. Find some places behind the store to buy them at extremely cheap prices.

47. When installing door locks, you should pay attention to the wax on the lock tongue. If it is damaged, it will be too late to apply wax. If there is no door stopper, be careful to prevent the handle from hitting the wall and being damaged.

48. Paco flooring is very good, I like it. The only thing I have to remind you is that it may be better to negotiate the price directly with the boss than with the salesperson.

49. Matte paint is more beautiful than high-gloss paint

50. If you renovate, you will use finished putty instead of talcum powder.

51. Install a leakage protector The construction of the junction box and the air switch cannot be saved, and it should not be placed outdoors but indoors. Originally, I wanted to save labor and money and use the old junction box outside the door. The electrician suggested that it be placed indoors and replaced with a new one. Now I found that it was replaced with a new one. This bit of advice is valuable.

52. Leakage protectors and air switches should be from famous brands. I use "Meilan Geran".

If you want to buy genuine products, it's easy. Just call and check the phone number of Merlin Gerin's headquarters, and then call and ask for the number of the local branch.

53. The under-counter basin is more delicate than the above-counter basin, looks better and is easier to clean. When fitting an under-counter basin faucet, be careful. Considering the thickness of the basin rim, the spout of the faucet should be longer.

54. The top corners of the wall look beautiful without any modification, but you need to make this clear to the painter in advance when looking for a painter. The top corner elastic line will help to make the top corner line straight.

55. Surface treatment is very important before putting putty on the cement surface of the line trough. It is suitable to use a cleaning ball to treat the weak surface.

56. Gypsum is suitable for filling larger holes in the wall. Of course, if the hole is too large, cement will still be needed.

57. Be sure to protect the back of the frosted glass from paint, as it is difficult to clean!

58. The faucet must be one that can be turned on and off with the back of your hand, the kind that must be turned on and off with your fingers. It's not easy to keep clean, and it's difficult to turn when your hands are oily.

59. The price of luxury automatic clothes drying racks is too high. After comparison, we found that some unknown brands are better than first-line brands in structural design, but the prices are much lower.

60. You can consider using a metal socket installed on the ground. This kind of socket is more than 100 yuan expensive, but it is very convenient. It is usually flush with the ground and can be popped out with a step of your foot. Suitable for large living rooms. Or place it under the dining room table to plug in the hot pot (to prevent wires from hanging when walking back and forth)

61. Storage room. TX has already mentioned it, but I didn’t make the cabinet doors, so they don’t look very nice, and the cabinets where clothes are kept get dirty easily.

62. Bed starter frame (is that what it’s called). I bought a fabric bed from a professional bed company, and spent 350 yuan to add this feature. There is a handle at the end of the bed, and when you pull it, the bed board will flip up, revealing the storage space underneath. It’s great!

63. The impractical double-pole towel rack! Currently, it has the same purpose as the single-pole, and it is basically not allowed to dry towels on the inner hanging pole

64. I feel that the trash can in the cupboard is not practical enough, so it is better to put it on Outside. Also, be sure not to install door-type trash cans and countertop trash cans. Opening the cabinet doors in the summer will stink. It's better to put the trash can outside.

65. The small cabinet next to the dining table is good, you can put some things, it is very convenient.

66. In my opinion, the performance requirements of the mop bucket are not high. You can build it yourself and lay it with tiles or mosaics that match the surrounding environment. It will be beautiful and save money.

67. The bathroom can have some nail hooks for hanging things.

68. The bathroom is designed with a small cupboard to store clothes, so you no longer have to worry about forgetting to take clean clothes after taking a shower.

69. The washing machine with dryer is seriously impractical, except for the only bad weather in the year. Thick clothes and bath towels should not be dried in the dryer. It would be better to let the sun disinfect them. I'm overdrafted and need to save some money.

70. I made a laundry sink in the laundry room for hand washing some things. I originally thought I would use it less, so I bought a very cheap Terry faucet. Unexpectedly, this laundry sink is so convenient and has become the most frequently used washing area in my home. Rags, socks, floor towels, all are washed in there, and most of the hand washing is also there.

71. It is really impractical to install light strips. It has not been turned on since the decoration was completed. When guests come, I just show off the spotlight. I even forgot to install this thing. It turned out that I decided to do it romantically when I wanted to have a party, but now I don’t have many opportunities to turn on the spotlight.

72. The biggest lesson is that the simpler the decoration, the better. It will cause less pollution, cost less and save worry.

73. Practical stuff:

① A well-designed storage room.

②The sink for washing dirt on the north balcony. The difference is the washbasin in the bathroom and the sink for washing vegetables and dishes in the kitchen.

③The faucet for washing hair can be pulled out in the bathroom. (Exception is TX who never washes his hair in the basin).

④ Easy-to-clean floors and suitable cleaning tools.

⑤ Kitchen countertop work lights.

74. When buying a toilet, you must measure the hole spacing of your toilet. If you don’t buy it and return it, it will be really bad.

75. It is best to measure the bathroom and kitchen floor tiles after they are installed but before they dry. Check the level and see if the lowest point is the floor drain. If you don't wait until it's dry and start arguing with the decoration team, a lot of cells will be killed.

76. The window sill is made of Zhuji stone from the Great Wall, which is an 800X800 tile. The manufacturer cuts and grinds the edges, and the masons affix them. The pattern is nice and there is no radiation.

77. The shower room in the bathroom must be large enough and use transparent glass so that taking a shower inside will not appear cramped.

78. White cement should not be used for tile joints. Within a month, it turned into black seams, which was extremely ugly. In the end, I bought a caulking agent and did it myself, which was so tiring

79. There should be a back board under the artificial stone of the cabinet, but after installing it, I found that there was no one. Now I don’t dare to cut meat on it, so I promised it. It’s been almost two months since I reinstalled it and it still hasn’t been installed (I only polished it once).

80. Don’t believe the designer’s tricks. Of course, you can visit several more decoration companies and extract truly useful things from the designs of each company. The key is how you want to decorate your home.

81. If the developer has installed a smelly "bowl" in the floor drain, do not take it out.

82. Test the water after installing the tiles on the bathroom floor. If the water flows slowly, rework it immediately. The running water in my house was relatively slow, so I felt relieved at that time. Now there is always a little water accumulation when taking a shower. Our main bathroom's shower head, which costs hundreds of dollars, is idle. Now we are always thinking about how to remedy it.

83. When installing the wash basin, consider the relative position to the mirror, the shelf for toothbrush cups, and the towel rack.

84. When buying a mirror, consider the position of the mirror headlight. If you do not want to install a mirror headlight for the time being, it is best if the size of the mirror can cover the line reserved for the mirror headlight.

85. Make a small cabinet on the balcony where the washing machine is placed to conveniently store some debris, such as laundry detergent. Both beautiful and practical

86. Be sure to keep an eye on the upstairs for waterproofing.... Otherwise, water will drip from upstairs and the wall cabinets will be in a mess....

< p>87. Don’t blindly follow online group buying. I later discovered that it is cheaper to bargain by yourself than to buy in a group.

88. The TV background wall must be equipped with a few more sockets, TVs, DVDs... Once they are placed, you will find that there are not enough sockets.

89. Before changing the waterway, you must consider the size of the washbasin to be installed in the future, such as whether it is a left basin or a right basin, and where the water inlet and drainage should be located. Otherwise, after modification, you will find that the washbasin in the picture cannot fit!

90. Regarding curtains, it is best to keep a copy of the size for yourself and explain to the boss that the size cannot be missing. If it's missing, what's the matter? Or watch him cut the cloth yourself.

91. The construction process of decoration:

(1) Enter the site, demolish the wall, and build the wall.

(2) Conduct a 24-hour water closure test on the bathroom and kitchen floors (the developer needs to complete this task).

(3) Wire duct cutting, water and electricity renovation and acceptance.

(4) The hidden water and electricity renovation project was sealed and buried in the wire trough. There was no leakage in the closed water test and the waterproofing project was started.

(5) Bathroom and kitchen wall magnets.

(6) Carpentry comes in, hanging ceilings, and plaster corners.

(7) Door covers and window covers included. Make wooden cabinet frames.

(8) Simultaneous production of various wooden doors, styling doors and flat pressing.

(9) Apply dust-proof paint (clear oil) to wooden panels.

(10) Leveling and laying of marble countertops on window sills.

(11) Wooden veneer panels are pasted, lines are made and installed carefully.

(12) Treat, polish and level the wall base.

(13) For household items, stick stickers (protective edges) on the seams around the door.

(14) Apply ICI oil to the wall at least three times.

(15) Furniture paint comes in, patch holes, and paint.

(16) Treat the corners, lay floor tiles, solid wood or composite wood flooring, waterproof marble strips, and skirting lines.

(17) Installation and debugging of lamps, sanitary ware, handles and door locks.

(18) Clean up, patch the floor tiles, and move out.

(19) Preliminary acceptance within the decoration company.

(20) The three parties will make an appointment for formal acceptance and delivery to the owner.

92. Before installing the flue valve back, it must be wiped clean to ensure that the valve can open and close freely and can be opened to the maximum, otherwise it will affect the smoke exhaust effect of the range hood. You can leave two strips uninstalled when installing the suspended ceiling, and then install the suspended ceiling after the range hood is installed and tested correctly.

93. In a space as large as the living room and dining room, if you can’t afford a suspended ceiling, don’t do it.

94. When routing the cables, think about the position of the air conditioner and move the power supply as close to the air conditioner as possible to avoid seeing a section of the power cord when installing the air conditioner, leaving a trace of regret.

95. Personally measure and record the various dimensions available in the house. You can cover the dimensions on the floor plan and re-mark them. The final dimensions will directly affect the decoration design and furniture purchase.

96. If you choose black walnut for a small apartment with poor lines, it is always not grand enough. At this time, you need to make a choice, either to accommodate the reality or to stick to your own ideas. Of course, it is best to consider both

97. Start looking for decorators. From personal experience, if the apartment is not particularly large and you plan to simply decorate it, it seems more cost-effective to find a guerrilla. It is best to introduce it after others have decorated it, and you can see it with your own eyes and agree with it. Especially the feeling of the person in charge of decoration is more important. What is the sense of responsibility and appreciation level? The former is more critical, because if it is just a simple decoration, in fact, those living things will be more important. Almost anyone who works outside can do it, but the quality depends on the sense of responsibility.

98. It is best to look at the main furniture such as sofas, wardrobes, dining tables, chairs, cabinets, etc. in advance. If you are too tired to run around, you can find several large home shopping malls with good shopping environments. By shopping around, you can see the basic trends, so the next thing you have to do is to slowly filter out the right things based on your expected style. Some people have a better grasp of the style, while others have a better grasp of the color. It doesn’t matter. Anyway, there is still time to think about it. If you wait until the decoration is cleared and there is nothing left to look at the furniture, you will inevitably end up reluctantly accepting it instead of liking it very much.

99. It is best to write down the dimensions of the furniture you are already optimistic about, and then go into the room to simulate the future furnishings.

100. Necessary documents must be kept when purchasing things. This will definitely be beneficial to possible returns and exchanges later. Especially shopping receipts, manuals, etc. for some important items, because many items have a warranty period, and it will be troublesome if the voucher is lost.

Hope it can help you~~~
