For most owners, decoration is undoubtedly the most difficult “hurdle” to cross before moving into a new home. If you want to make the decoration process orderly, today I have compiled a clear and practical decoration guide for everyone, clarifying what to do and what not to do, and helping you install your ideal home in one step!

01 [Entrance]

1. Sufficient storage space should be planned at the entrance.

2. The depth of the shoe cabinet needs to be measured in advance. If it is too deep, the utilization rate will be low. If it is too shallow, the storage will be insufficient.

3. It is recommended to set up a shoe changing stool to facilitate putting on and taking off shoes.

4. Install a lamp in the porch, which not only creates an atmosphere but also facilitates lighting.

02 [Living Room]

1. It is recommended to focus on light tones in small-sized living rooms.

2. Reserve as many sockets as possible in the living room, especially around the TV background wall and sofa, so as to avoid shortage in the later period.

3. The size of large furniture and electrical appliances (such as sofas, TV cabinets, air conditioners) should be planned in advance to prevent sockets from being blocked.

4. It is not recommended to install chandeliers in small apartments, so as not to lower the floor height and be difficult to clean.

5. The sofa in the living room should not be too big, and it is best not to exceed one-third of the living room area, otherwise it will make the space appear crowded.

03 [Balcony]

1. Balcony design should proceed from actual needs and avoid blindly following the trend.

2. If the environment on the lower floor is suitable, an open balcony can be considered; If the noise is loud and dusty, it is recommended to make a closed type.

3. The balcony must be equipped with a floor drain to prevent water accumulation in rainy days.

4. The glass of the closed balcony must be tempered to ensure safety.

5. Avoid making tatami mats on the balcony, which is easy to accumulate dust and may be infested with insects and moldy in rainy season.

04 [Restaurant]

1. It is recommended to choose warm colors for restaurant lighting, which shows a warmer atmosphere.

2. If the area of the restaurant is limited, round table or booth design can be considered.

3. If space permits, it is recommended to configure a sideboard to facilitate storage of sundries and keep the dining table tidy.

4. Plan the location of the refrigerator in advance, and reserve sockets and heat dissipation space.

05 [Kitchen]

1. Choose an open kitchen carefully, and the lampblack can easily spread to other spaces.

2. It is recommended to install large single grooves with sufficient depth. Double grooves are often not practical.

3. Avoid choosing floor tiles with obvious texture, which are not easy to clean.

4. It is not recommended to install venetian blinds on kitchen windows, which are easy to stain oil and difficult to clean.

5. Plan the location and storage of home appliances in advance to avoid the kitchen being cluttered.

6. It is recommended to install water retaining strips on kitchen countertops to prevent water from flowing to the ground.

7. There are many kitchen appliances, so more sockets should be reserved.

8. Try to make the hanging cabinet top to avoid the accumulation of oil.

9. The back of refrigerators, dishwashers and other electrical appliances should leave a heat dissipation distance to prolong their service life.

10. Kitchen sewer pipes should not be too thin and easily blocked.

06 [Bedroom]

1. The air outlet of the air conditioner should not face the bedside to avoid catching cold.

2. It is recommended to set up 2 sockets on both sides of the bed.

3. It is recommended to install double control switches in the bedroom, one at the door side and one at the bedside.

4. Consider installing sound insulation materials on the wall to improve quietness.

5. Plan more clothes hanging areas in the wardrobe, and ensure that the longest clothes can be hung.

6. Bedroom curtains should be styles with good light-blocking properties.

7. It is recommended to make the wardrobe top, increase storage and avoid dust accumulation.

8. Small bedrooms can choose side tables or omit bedside tables to save space.

07 [Bathroom]

1. Try to separate wet and dry, which is easy to clean and more comfortable to use.

2. Choose anti-slip floor tiles, avoid using pure white, which is easy to get dirty.

3. The bathtub takes up more space, consumes water and is difficult to clean. Please choose carefully.

4. It is not recommended to install a countertop basin, because the edges are easy to harbor dirt and practices.

5. Bathroom waterproofing project must be done well.

6. It is recommended to cover sewer pipes with sound insulation cotton to reduce noise.

7. It is recommended to install a fresh air system to improve the problem of “stuffy, smelly and wet” in the bathroom.
