Many first-time homeowners face many knowledge gaps during renovation process. One of smallest details can lead to failure of entire project. Let me share 5 cool decorating tips with you today!

1. Boards with zero formaldehyde content do not exist

Unless it's solid wood, it can't contain formaldehyde. The so-called zero formaldehyde, in fact, at best ensures that formaldehyde emission in plate does not exceed national standard.

2. Light can change color of paint

The color displayed by light on wall is very different from color of wall itself. If it doesn't match well, it's easy to joke. In general, you need to choose a suitable light color first, and then check color, and then it can be installed on wall after there is no difference.

3. Floor drain and drain must be tightly connected

Many people ignore this point when decorating and only find out that bathroom is leaking and walls are wet after they move in. If there is a gap between floor drain and drain, some of water will remain in cement mortar at bottom of tile when water is started. Over time, more and more water will accumulate, which will affect bathroom environment.

4. The door to bathroom must be waterproof

The bathroom must be waterproofed, and outside must also be waterproofed. Especially on door, it is necessary to apply a layer of waterproofing after gluing threshold stone, so that it does not return to moisture before laying tiles.

5. The kitchen cannot be single-light

In kitchen, you cannot install only a ceiling lamp in an aluminum scarf, there is too much one light source. When people turn their backs to light source, it is easy to influence cooking. The layout of lighting in kitchen should be planned in advance, and a light strip can be added at bottom of cabinet, which is much more convenient to use.
