These two places in the house should be fully tiled, regretting that I did not listen to the persuasion at the beginning, and I only knew how many pits when I moved in
When decorating, I insisted on choosing full tiles for the two spaces in my home, and I felt that I had chosen the most fashionable and avant-garde decoration method. However, after moving in, I realized how hasty my decision was. It really responds to the old saying: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you." ”
When I first renovated, I had special expectations for the kitchen and bathroom at home. In my opinion, full tile tiles not only make these two spaces look neater and brighter, but also make them easier to clean. So, at the suggestion of the decorator, I still firmly chose the full tile sticker.
However, the days after moving in were not as good as I imagined. First of all, although the kitchen tiles look clean and neat, every time you cook, oil fumes will inevitably adhere to the tiles, and over time, oil stains begin to accumulate in the cracks of those tiles, and it is much more difficult to clean than you think. I'm starting to miss the textured wall coverings that absorb some of the oil.
The problem with the bathroom gave me even more of a headache. Originally, I thought that the tiles could be waterproof, and the bathroom would not have the problem of dampness and mold. But what I didn't expect was that because the surface of the tiles was smooth, water stains could easily leave marks on them, especially in the shower area, and it would take a lot of effort to dry off the water after every shower, otherwise it wouldn't be long before the tiles would be covered with limescale. To make matters worse, some corners of the bathroom, due to improper treatment of the gaps in the tiles, began to show mold, and the musty smell was really unbearable.
I began to regret that I hadn't listened to the decorator's advice. He reminded me at the time that while fully tiled looks beautiful, there are some unavoidable problems. For example, the surface of the tile is smooth and easily reflective, which may cause visual discomfort if the lighting in the home is too good, and the crevices of the tile need to be treated very carefully, otherwise it is easy to accumulate dust and dirt, and it is very troublesome to clean.
One day, I met my neighbor, Aunt Wang, who had a completely different style of decoration from mine. Aunt Wang told me that her kitchen and bathroom are not fully tiled, but have chosen more practical wall materials. She told me that this choice not only makes her home look more welcoming, but also easier to clean.
"I also thought about tiling all the tiles at the time, but then I thought about it, and it was practicality that was the most important thing. Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Look at me now, I have a relaxed life every day, and I don't have to worry about oil smoke and water stains." ”
Listening to Aunt Wang's words, I had mixed feelings in my heart. On the one hand, I admired the comfort and practicality of her home, and on the other hand, I regretted my decision. I began to reflect on the fact that fashion and trends are important, but practicality and comfort are the ultimate goals of decoration.
So, I decided to remodel the kitchen and bathroom at home. While it takes some time and money, I think it's worth it. I hope that through this renovation, my home will become more comfortable and functional, and I will be able to learn from it and no longer be fooled by superficial fashion.
In the process of renovation, I specially consulted professional decorators, and they gave me a lot of valuable advice. I chose more environmentally friendly and durable wall coverings, and I also paid attention to details such as the treatment of ceramic tile gaps, waterproofing measures, etc. I hope that through this renovation, I can really solve the problems I encountered before and make my home look new.
After a period of remodeling, my home finally has a new look. The walls of the kitchen and bathroom have been replaced with new materials, which not only look more comfortable and natural, but also easier to clean. I've started to enjoy every day in my new home and no longer worry about the tedious cleaning issues.
This renovation experience made me deeply realize the importance of practicality and comfort. Fashion and trends are important, but we can't ignore the actual needs for the sake of superficial beauty. Decoration is not only to make the home look more beautiful, but also to make our life more comfortable and convenient.
Today, I'm a more mature fashionista. I no longer blindly follow trends, but focus more on practicality and comfort. I believe that only the decoration style that really suits you can make our home more warm and comfortable.
In the world of fashion, we are always experimenting and exploring. But no matter what style we are after, we must not forget the importance of practicality and comfort. Only in this way can we truly find our own fashion and make our lives better.
