The experience shared by a decoration contractor with me, which I sorted out comprehensively, can be seen and can help. Here will be 121 items of experience in home decoration, including living room decoration, bathroom decoration, kitchen decoration, selection and communication with decoration companies.
1. Matters needing attention in decorating the living room of home improvement
1. Install as many power plugs as possible in the living room.
2. The number of lights in the living room should not be too much, and it is better to be concise, otherwise it will be like a lamp shop.
3. consider using a metal socket installed on the ground, which is suitable for a large living room.
4. in such a big space as living room and dining room, the ceiling can be done without doing it.
5. There must be more sockets on the TV background wall. Once the TV and DVD…… are put on, you will find that the sockets are not enough.
2. Matters needing attention in bedroom decoration
6. The ceiling light in the bedroom should be double-controlled, one by the door and one by the bed, so as to avoid getting up and turning off the lights when lying in bed in winter.
7. The wardrobe should be large rather than small, and women should remember! Hanging space should be able to put down the longest dress.
8. The starting frame of the bed cost 351 yuan to add something like this. When a handle is pulled at the end of the bed, the bed board will turn up, exposing the storage space underneath.
3. Precautions for home bathroom decoration
9. Switches are designed for toilets and air conditioning sockets. Especially for the electric water heater in the bathroom, it is advisable to use a two-stage switch with one plug.
11. Don't choose white for kitchen and bathroom floor tiles.
11. If a bathroom has four walls, measure the length and height of each wall. Then deduct the area of a window and door. Finally, calculate the area of the ground. After you measure the size, you can take it to the shop selling tiles, and they will add 5% loss.
12. The bathroom can be nailed with hooks for hanging things.
13. The bathroom has designed a small cupboard to put clothes, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to take clothes in the shower.
14. Try to use ceramic basins for washbasins, but glass basins are difficult to clean.
15. The stainless steel feet used for bathroom cabinets are profiteering, so it's cheaper to find some places on the back of the store.
16. The basin under the stage is more delicate, beautiful and easy to clean than the basin on the stage.
17. When buying a toilet, you must measure your own hole spacing.
18. It's best to measure the level of the kitchen floor tile before it dries, and see if the lowest point is the floor drain.
19. The shower room in the bathroom must be large enough and use transparent glass.
21. Try the water after the tile on the bathroom floor is pasted, and rework it immediately if the running water is slow.
21. When installing the washbasin, consider the relative position with the mirror, the rack for putting the toothbrush cup and the towel rack.
22. When buying a mirror, consider the position of the mirror headlight. If you don't want to install the mirror headlight for the time being, the size of the mirror should be able to cover the line reserved for the mirror headlight.
23. Try to divide the bathroom into dry and wet areas. If the area is small, it is good to use a column basin (the glass basin is particularly dirty, so lazy people should use it with caution); It is best to set up a waterproof small cabinet to store sundries, and everything will definitely not look good outside.
IV. Precautions for home kitchen decoration
24. It is best to complete the gas pipe reform before tiling, otherwise it may damage the wall. It's best to let the gas company draw a picture or mark it on the wall, because the cabinet company needs to open holes in the cabinet body as required.
25. The installation of cabinets takes a long time, ranging from 4 to 5 hours to 2 days, so you should be mentally prepared. When installing, you can check whether the material used is the one you ordered (the cabinet material can be seen through the hinge hole). Clean the kitchen before installing the cupboard, because once the cupboard is installed, there is no way to clean those dead corners.
26. The faucet of the vegetable basin must be opened and closed with the back of your hand, which is convenient.
27. Before the valve of the flue is put back, it must be cleaned to ensure that the valve plate can be opened and closed freely and can be opened to the maximum, otherwise it will affect the smoke exhaust effect of the range hood. You can leave two pieces without installing the ceiling, and then install the ceiling after the lampblack machine is installed and tested correctly.
28. The cabinets must be carefully selected, and the quality of several cabinets should be compared, so as to make them solid and firm. Because this item is now frequently used for thousands of dollars, and it is also related to the kitchen utensils and sinks, so it is better not to be greedy for cheap. But it is best not to make a trash can on the countertop or inside the cabinet; In addition, if the funds are limited, you can dispense with the basket, seasoning basket and rice barrel. These accessories are generally expensive in cabinet companies.
V. Matters needing attention in home decoration construction
29. The price must be asked clearly and then written down in black and white for any increase or decrease in the construction process.
31. Check whether there are necessary construction protection measures, such as wrapping the entrance door with pearl cotton, and properly protecting the paved windowsill and ground.
31. It is best not to make furniture fixed, because some layouts may not be changed. If you must do it, you must grasp the quality, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
32. Be careful when changing water pipes. First, it costs money. Secondly, if you don't suspend the ceiling, you must take the water pipe from under the floor. If there is something wrong with the water pipe, you will be in big trouble.
33. Don't finish the partition of the shoe cabinet. Leave a little space so that the dust of the shoes can leak to the bottom, and install lights above the sink and gas stove. When determining the location of the bathroom floor drain, you must first think about it and measure the size. The floor drain is best located at one side of the brick. If it is in the middle of the brick, no matter how inclined the brick is, the floor drain will not be the lowest point.
34. In the final analysis, how to deal with the external corners of tiles depends on the level of workers. If the level of muddy workers is good and the tools for grinding ceramic tiles are better, you should not hesitate to choose the method of grinding 45 degrees. From the effect point of view, as long as the grinding is good, grinding the external angle of 45 degrees is the most beautiful!
35. It is also very important to test the pressurization of water pipes after they are arranged. Everyone must be present during the test, and the test time should be at least 31 minutes, preferably one hour if conditions permit.
36. When making plastic-steel doors, be sure to calculate the size of the protruding wall of the plastic-steel door frame, so that the final door frame and the wall pasted with ceramic tiles are flat, which is both beautiful and hygienic.
37. White cement should not be used for jointing ceramic tiles. Buy jointing agent.
38. Use paper tape as much as possible when painting.
16. Carpenter's door sheathing and mason's tiling should also be coordinated. When wrapping the door sheathing, it is necessary to consider whether the ground below (either side of the ground on both sides of the door) needs to be tiled or leveled with other cement mortar.
39. hydropower transformation should be planned by themselves, and they are required to follow a straight line. I watched them draw lines by myself, and all of them followed the lines drawn. You have to check and accept each item yourself.
41. Waterproofing must be done well, and water must be tested.
41. If the floor is installed on the ground, the ground should be re-cemented and re-leveled.
42. For the kitchen door, it's better to use the carpenters who want to decorate it as wooden rail doors.
43. There is still a partition outside the shower in the bathroom. You can't save trouble by pulling a shower curtain, which is actually very inconvenient.
44. Be sure to make sure that your waterway is ok before installing the cabinet.
45. It is best to remove the protective film of the aluminum gusset plate before installation.
46. It is best to use a shutter door in the shoe cabinet to prevent odor. A socket can be left beside the shoe cabinet for inserting and drying shoes.
47. You can install a small lamp where you cut vegetables.
48. If it is convenient, the restaurant can also be equipped with an exhaust fan, so that the ceiling will not be dirty when eating hot pot or barbecue.
49. It's better to arrange a cabinet for sundries at the door, which can be placed on the shoe cabinet, which is very convenient.
51. When tiling, the exhaust holes of the range hood and the water heater should be pre-punched. If the tiles are pasted, it will be inconvenient to punch them. Therefore, before the decoration, you must choose the range hood, stove and water heater to determine the size of the hole.
51. You must pay attention to the following points when pasting ceramic tiles:
① It is best to be on site by yourself.
(2) Some imperfect tiles can be pasted on some invisible places in the future, such as cabinets, sinks and mirrors.
(3) Before plastering the wall tiles and floor tiles, the soaking time must be enough.
(4) be sure to plug the floor drain with something to prevent the cement from falling down and blocking it.
52. After making the door cover, the plasterer began to install gypsum lines and paint the wall. When approving the ash, it is to approve the ash and polish it once, then brush the primer, polish it again after brushing, and finally brush the top coat twice with ici, so that the whole wall looks smooth and flat.
53. Just install a light at the corner of the aisle, which is bright and effective.
54. I didn't consider the position of the dining table when I installed the lamp. Now my lamp is not in the middle of the dining table.
55. Don't use Tai Su's bathroom tiles, for one thing, they are easy to get dirty, and for another, they are too dull after a long time.
56. When installing the door lock, you should pay attention to wax on the lock tongue. If it is damaged, it will be too late to wax it.
57. If there is no door suction, pay attention to prevent the handle from hitting the wall and being damaged.
58. Gypsum is suitable for filling holes in the wall. Of course, if the holes are too big, cement is still needed.
59. When installing furniture, it's best to watch from the side, especially when there are several holes in the shelves of wardrobes. I didn't watch at that time, and as a result, the distance between the shelves was too small to stretch the clothes, so I have to adjust it later.
61. Considering the pollution of formaldehyde to the environment, green plants such as chlorophytum can be placed in the room, and all the doors of furniture are opened to smell, or you can buy something special to eliminate the smell to spray.
61. Install gas alarm and make an appointment for gas ignition.
62. Time for painting wood: It is best to wait until the floor tile or wood floor is laid in the room. If you must brush it, you'd better clean the room. There is a lot of dust in the room without floor tiles or wooden floors. If you brush wood paint at this time, the dust is easy to attach to the surface of the wood products that have been painted with wood paint, and it feels prickly. Although this situation can be solved by polishing with higher-grade sandpaper and brushing again, the feel and overall effect of the brush will be a little buttoned. Brush the floor tiles after the room is paved. At that time, the dust content in the air is much less than before, and basically there will be no dust attached to the surface of wood products after brushing the wood paint. I say this because this happened when Xiao Wu's house was decorated. I had seen the effect of it before I decided to buy the Xijia wood paint. It felt smooth and felt like the Haoli wooden door in my home decoration. Just because of the above situation, the result has been a lot of discounts, which has always been Xiao Wu's regret. Moreover, in the process of organizing a group purchase of hi-paint, this happened to some classmates' homes. So I would like to remind you to pay attention here. I don't know if this is the case with other wood paints, but according to the principle that the same principle can be proved, I would like to remind all students to pay attention here.
63. regarding touch-up: the painter pays to wait until the wall is dry before approving the putty, and the putty layer is dry before painting. After painting, if there is no reason, lamps and various electrical switches will be installed. Please remind the teachers who install lamps and electrical switches to pay attention to it, and clean their hands before installation, so that they will not pollute the wall when installing. It also saves a process of painting. Of course, if the wall is stained, the decoration team will definitely ask the painter to pay for the paint, that is, to clean the stained wall (if it is a paint company, they will also ask the painter to pay for the paint. If you pay attention to the fact that many painters will leave some paint after painting the wall, the remaining part of the paint is used for the paint). Just pay attention, don't let the painter pay for a trip (at least half a day) without polluting the wall, which is a lot of convenience for us. Why not? Sometimes, it is convenient for people, and it is also convenient for people. Generally speaking, the wood paint will be finished before painting the wall paint, so as to avoid the wood paint from affecting the wall surface painted with the wall paint during the drying process. Of course, in the actual operation process, it is also possible to brush the wood paint after the floor tile is paved (the putty on the wall has been approved before paving the floor tile), and then brush the wall paint after the wood paint is dry. Just doing so will of course affect the construction period. If you are afraid of affecting the construction period and want to minimize the impact of dust in the air, you should be diligent and clean the room a lot.
64. If the floor drain has been filled with the "bowl" that will hinder odor, never take it out.
65. Make a small cabinet on the balcony where the washing machine is placed, which is convenient for putting some sundries, such as sundries in washing powder. Beautiful and practical
66. Be sure to keep an eye on the upstairs to make it waterproof ... otherwise, the hanging cabinet will be a mess because of dripping water from the upstairs.
VI. Precautions for purchasing decoration materials
67. The bottom of the mattress and the bedplate must be breathable. Generally, it is best to use fir board as the bed board.
68. Pay attention when buying lamps: generally, try to use glass, stainless steel, copper or wood (shelves), and don't buy any coatings or paints, which are easy to fade.
69. Many verbal agreements in construction have become a gap that was slaughtered during checkout, so it must be written in black and white, and the prices of increased or decreased items must be clearly asked and written.
71. The materials for doors and doorframes should be carefully grained.
71. Pay special attention to smooth the putty before plastering Dulux.
72. Buy things that need to be installed and try to install them.
73. During the renovation, take the business cards of manufacturers and merchants you collected before with you.
74. There is absolutely no need to use expensive ceiling. If you are not too worried about humidity and oil fume, it is recommended to use moisture-proof gypsum board to brush waterproof paint. It is very important to close the edge, otherwise it will leave a black seam, which will look ugly.
75. Although the custom-made cabinets look good, they are not durable. The cabinets made are durable and moisture-proof. And the cost is not much.
76. The location of the socket must be calculated.
77. Furniture should be bought outside, the floor should be dirt-resistant, sample rooms should be seen more, and the principle should be adhered to.
78. Pay special attention to the keel rather than the aluminum gusset plate itself when buying aluminum gusset plates. Ghosts often appear on the keel.
79. It's hard to find a satisfactory color of floor tiles, but two unsatisfactory colors can be staggered and then turned at a 45-degree angle to achieve good results.
81. It is very effective to add a layer of foam plastic board to the back of the balcony cabinet for heat insulation and waterproof.
81. If there is no suitable one in wood line, we might as well make it to order. The quality of the order seems to be better than the sample.
82. Matte paint is just more beautiful than high gloss.
83. Choose finished putty instead of talcum powder
84. The project of installing leakage protector and junction box of air switch cannot be saved.
85. The leakage protector and air switch should be of famous brands.
86. The top corner of the wall is beautiful without any modification.
87. surface treatment is very important before putty is applied to the cement surface of the line trough.
88. The back of frosted glass must be protected from paint, which is difficult to clean.
the price of p>89 luxury automatic clothes rack is too high, but some unknown brands are better than the first-line brands, but the price is much lower.
91.
