In the process of renovating a house, choices and decisions often lead to various controversies, and some design concepts are difficult to accept at first glance, and even cause strong opposition. But over time, these designs have shown their unmatched benefits and conveniences. Here are 10 renovation designs that were once opposed but are now widely accepted and loved, and will definitely continue to be used when decorating second homes. The first is the open kitchen. At first, many people were worried that the open kitchen would allow oil smoke to fill everywhere and affect the entire home environment. However, the development of modern technology, especially the popularity of high-efficiency range hoods, has completely changed this situation. The open kitchen not only makes the space appear more spacious and bright, but also enhances the interaction between family members. "When I used to cook, I always felt like I was isolated in a small dark room," recalls one friend, "and now I can talk to my family while cooking, and it's really nice to feel like I'm cooking." ”
The second is the design of dry and wet separation in the bathroom. Initially, it was thought that this would take up more space and be a bit redundant, but in practice, the separation of wet and dry not only keeps the bathroom tidy, but also extends the life of the furniture and avoids moisture. Imagine coming home from work, the bathroom is still dry and tidy; Get ready for work in the morning and don't let the slippery floor affect your mood. "Every time I enter the bathroom and see the clean floor, I feel very good, and the quality of life has really improved a lot."
The third design is underfloor heating. Southerners may think that underfloor heating is exclusive to the north, but in fact, the comfort and uniform heating effect of underfloor heating are incomparable to traditional air conditioners. In winter, walking barefoot on the warm floor, the feeling of warmth from the soles of your feet to your heart, makes you never go back to the days of using air conditioning to warm up. "At the beginning, I really slapped the table against it, but now my family can't do without it, and I don't have to endure the cold floor in winter." A friend from the south lamented.
Next up is the pull-out faucet in the kitchen. When they first heard about this design, many people thought it was complicated and unnecessary, but after actually using it, they found that the pull-out faucet not only makes cleaning easier, but also easily reaches every corner of the sink. Especially when cleaning large pieces of kitchen utensils, the flexibility of pull-out faucets is particularly important. "I used to feel like I was in a hurry to clean pots and pans, but now that I've installed a pull-out faucet, I feel like the whole kitchen has become more comfortable." A housewife shared.
Let's talk about high-capacity lockers. Many people think that having too many cabinets in their home will make the space seem crowded, but after actually using it, they find that a reasonably designed large-capacity cabinet can not only store more items, but also make the home space more tidy and orderly. Especially for small families, a large storage cabinet is a lifesaver. "There are a lot of things in the house, but since I have these lockers, I don't have to worry about running out of places to put things, and the whole house has become much cleaner." A small apartment owner said.
The sixth design is the smart home system. Many people feel that the smart home system is complex and expensive in the early stage of decoration, and it is not necessarily convenient to use. But after the actual experience, the smart home system makes life more convenient and efficient. Through mobile phone or voice control, you can easily control the lighting, temperature, security and other equipment in your home. "At first, I thought these things were flashy, but now I find that every day when I get home, the lights automatically turn on and the air conditioner automatically adjusts to the right temperature, which is really convenient." When it comes to balcony garden design, many people think that planting flowers and grass on the balcony will take up valuable space and take a lot of time to take care of. However, the balcony garden not only landscaps the environment but also provides a great place to relax and unwind. "Sitting on the balcony on a sunny afternoon, smelling the flowers and drinking coffee, the comfort is really indescribable." A lover of balcony gardens shared.
The eighth design is a double-glazed soundproof window. Initially, people may think that double soundproof windows are costly and complicated to install, but the results they bring are invaluable. Especially for families living in downtown areas, this design can effectively isolate external noise and make the home environment quieter and more comfortable. "I used to be bothered by the noise outside, but now with double-glazed windows, the house is as quiet as a paradise." A friend who lives in the city center said.
Next up are built-in appliances. Many people may feel that the installation of built-in appliances is complicated and troublesome to maintain when decorating, but after actual use, they find that built-in appliances can not only save space, but also make the whole kitchen look more neat and beautiful. Especially for small kitchens, the design of built-in appliances is a lifesaver. "The kitchen used to look messy, but with built-in appliances, the whole kitchen has been completely new." Said a friend with limited kitchen space.
The last design is the one without the main light. Many people may feel that the design of the main lamp is not bright enough when decorating, which affects the lighting effect. However, after actual use, it is found that a reasonably designed non-main lamp system can provide uniform and soft lighting effects, making the home environment more warm and comfortable. "At first, I thought it would not look good without the main light, but now I think this design is very practical, and the atmosphere at home has become much warmer." A friend who uses a design without a main light said. Although the above 10 decoration designs may be resistant at first, after the test of time, the convenience and comfort they bring have made more and more people impressed. Each design improves the quality of life in different aspects, and when the second suite is renovated, it must be installed. These designs are not only the wisdom of life, but also the pursuit of a better life.
