Decoration is a costly thing, so you should really spend all your money on key places.

Who lives at home regularly is the key. If the elderly live for a long time, they may be more accustomed to the traditional living room layout. Don’t force the elderly to adapt to the new trend. The most important thing is to live comfortably.

2. Do you have time to clean often?

The living room is easy to fall dust, and if it is not taken care of frequently, it will soon look old and dirty. Although the book wall is beautiful, it is really a big project to clean it with so many grids!

3. Are there really so many books

The big bookcase looks very cultural, but if there are not enough books, it is a big expense to buy books in order to fill the cabinet. We’d better plan cabinets according to actual needs, and don’t let resources be wasted.

Easy to look bored, quickly obsolete, and laborious to maintain

Those artistic wallpapers, diatom mud with special texture, brightly colored paint and high-end-looking wainscoting seem to be able to raise the grade of your home at once.

03 Kitchen and bathroom complex ceiling

Spend a lot of money to make complicated ceilings, and you don’t usually look up at all

In places like bathrooms and kitchens, we usually make ceilings. In the past, the commonly used method was aluminum gusset ceilings.

In recent years, honeycomb ceilings with higher value have appeared on the market. Honeycomb panels look more beautiful and simplistic because of their larger area and fewer seams.

It is easy to appear messy and needs to be organized frequently

Have you also liked the simple and refreshing open washing cabinets in Japanese houses, or the exquisite and beautiful open washing basin designs in high-end hotels?

However, this design is a bit “impractical” when put into our daily family life.

Imagine that if you are not a diligent person, after a long time, the bottom of the sink is likely to become a “gathering place” for sundries and garbage.

Even if you are good at tidying up and arranging things neatly, colorful bottles, cans and high and low items will visually make the bathroom look a bit messy.

Not to mention, if the sewer pipe of the sink is not designed as a “wall row”, the exposed pipes will affect the appearance.

In contrast,Closed wash cabinets with cabinet doors are much more practical。 It can perfectly “hide” sundries. As soon as the door is closed, the bathroom will immediately look refreshing.

Looks cluttered and impractical

This is something highly recommended by many merchants and decorators who sell ceramic tiles. In many people’s decoration concepts, it seems that if you don’t lay some parquet and waveguide wires, you can’t show the grade of your home.
