Some of the designs in the decoration have been mythologized by countless Internet celebrity bloggers, and their popularity has exploded. But the reality is often not as rosy as it is said online. Today, we're revealing three types of décor designs: hidden baseboards, hanging wall-hung toilets, and wall-mounted wardrobes. These seemingly perfect designs actually hide many unknown flaws. To avoid stepping into these well-packaged pitfalls, let's dive in and see what's really going on behind these designs.
When it comes to hidden baseboards, it does sound lofty, and many renovation bloggers hype it as both beautiful and non-dust-free. Actually? Is there really such a thing? Many families follow the trend and finally find out, "Oh, isn't this just a pit"? The traditional function of the baseboard is to protect the root of the wall, to cover the joints between the floor and the wall, and to play a visual transitional role. Replaced by a hidden one, these effects are greatly reduced.
First of all, you should know that slotting affects the structural strength of the wall. Moreover, in the standard specifications of decoration, the line pipe groove has a clear slotting limit, and you have a big cut for the so-called beauty, the whole house wall root is a big cut, is it worth it?
When it comes to aesthetics, if the hidden baseboard is the same material and color as the floor tiles, it seems to be high-end, but in fact it destroys the balance of the color, but reduces the overall decorative effect. Many people have reported that this thing is not high-grade at all, and it is not as good as ordinary baseboards.
As for the price, oh buy ga, that's really not ordinarily expensive! The material cost, labor cost, and construction cost are added together, and you can make several surface-mounted baseboards. For most families, this is simply an unnecessary luxury.
Let's talk about that hanging wall-hung toilet. There are a bunch of people on the Internet boasting about how space-saving, easy to clean, and high-end atmosphere this thing is. What about the real situation? It's money, trouble, and effort. How much space do you think you can save by hiding the water tank hidden in the wall? In fact, the walls are much thicker, and this "saving" becomes a joke.
The water tank is embedded in the wall, the thickness is increased by at least 20 cm, and with the addition of bricks and tiles, your bathroom space will look more cramped. Moreover, once this thing goes wrong, it will be a big project to repair, and it will be a headache to think about.
In terms of price, wall-hung toilets are much more expensive than ordinary toilets, and there are fewer styles to choose from. Everyone may think that it has a high appearance, but after a long time, you will know that appearance is not omnipotent, practicality is the last word.
Finally, let's talk about the wall-built wardrobe that the Internet celebrity pushed. Cost-saving, hassle-free, and environmentally friendly, sounds great. But once this design is implemented, there are a whole lot of problems. For example, in terms of appearance, this kind of wardrobe is difficult to match with other decoration styles in your home, and it will become a failure if you are not careful.
The wardrobe with metal frame is prone to problems such as poor stain resistance and poor sealing for a long time, and the clothes are easy to return to moisture and dust. If you really want to prevent mildew and moisture, you have to install various measures, and in the end it may cost you better than buying a better board
