1. Cut open furnishings.
In order to reduce the intensity of cleaning labor, in order to the permanent elegant and neat room, open furnishings can be cut still cut. The author of the English market mixed macho room, bookcase, side cabinet, China cabinet, TV cabinet is almost open design, there are diffuse in each room of the partition, partition frame…… If I do it again, I’ll put doors on those cabinets, or at least glass doors.
2. Choose box bed.
Under the bed is not empty storage space, even under the bed frame bed with neat specifications of storage boxes, storage boxes and storage boxes, storage boxes and bed plate between still have leisure, dirt signs are still serious. Integrated design of box bed for small family, unusually suitable.
3. Develop as much storage space as possible.
When I renovated eight years ago, I used a steel keel and drywall to create a separate space in the two-bedroom apartment for a cloakroom, which was brave and prescient at the time. However, still not enough! You never know how many clothes, how many household items you will add over the years, so that you have as much storage space as possible.
4. Use wallpaper.
If you’re still deciding between paint and wallpaper, my recommendation is wallpaper. Don’t talk about the decorative effect, only from the point of view of cleaning and maintenance, wallpaper will not crack, wallpaper stained with dust with a wet cloth can wipe. People with experience know that television, heating and other cooling appliances will blacken the wall, for which wallpaper is much easier to clean than wall paint.
5, just choose good quality doors and Windows.
Large sector of commercial housing, peripheral doors and Windows are developers unified Settings, appearance and quality have no choice. The author does not encourage to spend money to replace themselves (it is really a waste of resources), but in the decoration of added departments, such as the internal room door, distance door, should only choose sound insulation, heat insulation are good, and push and pull smooth feel good. Due to the need for many times every day to open, push and pull, doors and Windows are almost the most easy to consume the room, at the same time after installation and replacement, is the application of high quality products to ensure the use of permanent quiet.
6. Do more human thinking in details.
Such as curtain hooks such details, I do not know that there are a number of decoration new people will consider its feel, service life, adverse side will hang curtains. More in the details to do more humanistic thinking, in the future use, cleaning will be more convenient, a feeling.
7, basic decoration first.
When the decoration budget is held, people are used to everything, from the basic decoration to the furniture to the late soft outfit, the effect of all to distribute the decoration budget is in the total budget limited situation, all aspects can only give way, compression. The author’s suggestion is that the basic decoration of the house, those departments that are not easy to disassemble, must ensure high quality, such as the refreshing of water and electricity roads, walls, floors, sanitary ware, kitchen cabinets, sliding doors and so on. Just don’t compress the budget with the value of quality. Imagine one of them damaged and replaced in the future in the shelter, what a poor and unpleasant thing it is. It’s much easier to replace furniture and soft furnishings. So, furniture and soft installation in the limited decoration budget, should let the foundation decoration first. The author has a clear idea on this point, furniture and soft clothes and not in a hurry to improve, but in the future career constantly add, update, the last purchase of furniture, is a year ago to add wardrobe.
Shelter for eight years, Hengyu from the wall, the ground, to the kitchen, the toilet, through cleaning after almost new. On the contrary, the accomplices who decorated with the author at the same time heard that the wall peeling, the floor bulges seriously need to be replaced, and so on, and even had to be redecorated. This is the value of insufficient investment for the foundation decoration.
