When you start decorating your home, there's an unstoppable quest for a high-end home.
Some of the designs that are popular on the Internet cleverly capture the psychology of the masses.
However, only by living in it for a long time can we perceive the gap between ideals and reality, and the moment of "falling off the altar" cannot be ignored.
A moment of elegance can lead to all kinds of home troubles.
The floor was initially installed, but over time, it revealed a series of unexpected troubles.
The design of the floor height difference poses a threat to the safety of children and the elderly, and the space that was originally added to play with children has now become a hidden danger of tripping.
Usually, the height of the floor is about 25 cm, which not only reduces the space, but the so-called "functional zoning" does not actually play a practical role, and the circulation design could have been more flexible.
The floor is regarded as a custom project, and both wood and stone materials are available on the market, such as solid wood core MDF 1.5m × 1.8m × 0.1m (length, width and height), and the cost of contracting labor and materials is about 1080 yuan (excluding bedside tables), and other dimensions need to be calculated additionally.
Considering the overall investment in space design, materials, labor and construction, you will find that this kind of design sacrifices the flexibility of the original space, which is both cost-effective and laborious!
In addition, the crevices are too close to the ground to accumulate dust and are not easy to clean, and theoretically you have to take off your shoes to go up, a process that can bring in bacteria and dust, making it difficult to keep the living environment clean.
And once the floor is built, it is equivalent to making an "irreversible" decision, which is difficult to dismantle and modify, and I sincerely advise you to consider it carefully.
Nowadays, with the prevalence of "instantaneous obsessive-compulsive disorder" in decoration, people's requirements for decoration are not limited to precision and seamless, but also desire to completely conceal all kinds of household appliances.
Built-in refrigerators, built-in induction cooktops, etc. have become a regular in home design, and even washing machines have been forced to blend into the depths of cabinets.
However, for washing machines that involve water, overly exaggerated cabinet protection may seem redundant.
Some witnesses, such as @花花一女, lamented during use: It is time-consuming and expensive to design the washing machine into the cabinet, but they did not expect it to cause dampness and musty smell.
@Lola, who felt the same way, also said: It was originally intended to make the interior look more uniform, but the necessity of ventilation was ignored, resulting in water vapor and the smell of plastic all over the cabinet, and it may even lead to mold in the barrel.
In this case, the cabinet has to be opened as well, which raises questions about whether the hidden washing machine is really worth the money.
Finally, because the cabinet door has to be left open for a long time, it is not beautiful for the time being, and it also takes up a lot of home space, and it is also very inconvenient to wash clothes.
@Lunacoco: Seeing that the beautiful hardwood floor turned out to be overturned, you must be rational when buying.
My house has a light gray oak floor made of solid wood, with herringbone stitching, locks, and underfloor heating.
Despite the special drying treatment, the stability of this oak is worrying... In the summer, the floor expands and the stone cracks, and in the winter, the floor heating wood shrinks to form huge gaps.
Although I asked the master to adjust it, the floor will still be a demon with the change of seasons, and I heard that it will take 2-3 years to be completely stable, I really don't know what to say!
Even if there are no problems with the renovation process, the troubles that may arise later will make you regret it.
I have discussed wood flooring in major forums, and you can feel it:
@小鲨鳅 The solid wood floor that my family used to lay is located in the south, the wooden floor is damp, and it can't survive for 3 years, all of which are moldy and deteriorated, don't believe that I am the only one?
@甜妈Lucky Of course, you have to choose tiles! The edge strip of the wooden floor makes me nauseous to vomit! Every time I mop the floor, I want to tear down the floor!
@珍爱的人, it is not recommended to lay wooden floors on low floors, it is easy to have termites after moisture, don't ask me why I know.
@秋菊傲霜我家的是实木复合地板, it's too squeamish, 320 square meters will be damaged if you bump it slightly, and you have to wax regularly, which is too troublesome!
One-door-to-top wardrobes have gained traction in recent years, and many homeowners have followed this trend for renovations.
Although the appearance is outrageous, it is recommended that you do not blindly follow the trend.
In order to achieve the effect of the top and bottom, the upper and lower sealing plates are usually used, which leads to many people touching their feet and rubbing the cabinet door during use, which is not very friendly to the door panel and itself.
Many homeowners complain that the sealing board is inside, and the door must be opened when cleaning to clean the dust underneath, which is quite troublesome.
The higher the door, the more likely it is to deform the door panel, which cannot be completely prevented even with a straightener.
Once deformed, the door cracks vary in size, which not only cannot be closed, but can also cause wear and tear on the floor and top surface, and produce a harsh friction sound when the door is opened and closed.
The high vertical wall and expensive panel prices in the early stage are inputs, while there is still a potential risk of deformation in the later stage.
In terms of practicality, it is obviously inferior to the upper and lower tiered cabinet doors, so everyone must be cautious.
The so-called net red mountain top lighting is to form a mountaintop shape under the reflection of lights, which is usually applied to the wall of the living room to outline the sense of hierarchy with lighting.
Its usefulness needs to be fully evaluated before choosing.
We pursue the use of lighting to show the texture of the background wall or wood veneer, or to guide attention to the sense of luxury that the lighting wants to highlight.
However, it can become the focal point of the eye when there are stiff spots of light on the wall.
The stiff and abrupt light will destroy the integrity of the space, lead to spatial chaos, and confuse the relationship between the primary and secondary objects of the exhibits.
As an auxiliary light, its actual frequency of use is not high.
This type of lighting requires a high level of wall flatness, and if there is a flaw, it can become a catastrophic rollover scene.
In addition, there is one of the most critical drawbacks of mountaintop spotlights that has been overlooked: due to the proximity of the spot to the light outlet, it can produce strong secondary reflection glare.
In this bright light, our eyes cannot get rest, and being in such an environment for a long time can cause great damage to our eyesight.
The first consideration of home decoration is practicality and durability, and the second is to consider aesthetics.
However, blindly pursuing beauty but not practical and durable, it will become a big injustice.
In addition, the sense of luxury at home mainly depends on the soft decoration in the later stage and the color matching of the overall space, and the matching of soft decoration is flexible and changeable.
My suggestion is that as long as it doesn't affect your life, the simpler the decoration, the better, what do you say?
