Despite the ups and downs of housing prices, those who need to buy a house will still unambiguously purchase it.

After all, as a necessity, having a house that can make people feel at ease is essential for better managing life.

Whether it's a new house or a second-hand house, the next thing to do after getting the house is to decorate it.

Even if some second-hand houses are meticulously decorated, after changing the owner, in the case of different personal preferences, unless there is insufficient remaining funds after buying the house, it will still be decorated again.

After deciding to decorate, family members may participate in how to design each area of the house and put forward some suggestions.

"The poor look at the hall, the rich look at the kitchen" is the decoration concept that some older people believe in.I. "The Poor Show Off Their Living Rooms, the Rich Their Kitchens" - Why is this said?

Literally, this phrase suggests that people with poor economic conditions will make their living room area particularly beautiful. Those with better economic conditions, on the other hand, will focus on the decoration of the kitchen area. It can also be said that the poor pay attention to "face", in order to make people think that their home is not bad, they will do a good job on the surface, placing the good things in the living room. The truly wealthy, however, will pay more attention to health, and the decoration of the living room will present a low-key atmosphere, without the need to "show off face". The kitchen will be decorated with higher quality.

This is because the items displayed are not daily necessities, and one or two can be used as a facade, allowing the money spent to be seen. But the kitchen is different, if you can casually take out a plate that costs hundreds of yuan, or take out an ingredient that is more expensive than several days of food money for ordinary families, it indicates that the family's economic condition must be good. And wealthy families will also match the kitchen area with a good sense of design and use good materials when decorating their homes. Unlike some people who are not very wealthy and worry about the oil fumes contaminating the decorated walls and floors, thus choosing a simple kitchen decoration.Of course, the phrase "the poor look at the hall, the rich look at the kitchen" is not an absolute truth, at most it is a kind of wisdom in life.

Specifically, each family's preferences for how to decorate their house will vary.

However, to enjoy a comfortable experience after moving in, it is still worth understanding the 7 details of living room and kitchen decoration that revolve around this phrase.

II. Seven Details of Living Room and Kitchen Decoration

1. The main door should not be directly connected to the living room

I don't know if everyone has seen some ancient old houses, generally after entering from the main door of the ancient house, you will not directly see the situation inside the hall.

This is because there will be a wall behind the main door, called a screen wall, which can also be called a screen wall, playing a role in protecting privacy.

When the door is open, even if there are people passing by outside, they cannot see the situation inside the house through this wall.Moreover, in terms of design, this wall is usually crafted with great care, such as carving some floral and plant patterns, which look very unique and aesthetically pleasing, serving the purpose of decorating the space.

Similarly, although the space of the current commercial housing is limited, many people also adopt Western design styles for decoration, but still need to pay attention to not letting the main entrance directly face the living room.

In this way, as soon as the door is opened, the situation inside the living room will be clearly visible.

In case there is any private matter, and it is accidentally seen by the guests, it will cause embarrassment to both parties.

If the spatial layout of the house itself does not have this situation, it is the best.

If it does occur, consider making a screen or directly using the entrance design during decoration, so that the space from the main entrance to the living room is separated.

2. The living room decoration should avoid being dimly lit.

Many people regard the house in their hands as the "belonging of the soul", and feel that every detail in the house is a reflection of their inner self.In this way, the living room, as the "façade" area, must be well decorated.

Since the guests who come to the home, unless it is a particularly good relationship, or their own relatives and friends.

The rest are basically staying in the living room and dining room, and a good decoration is conducive to leaving a good impression on the guests.

A basic point of living room decoration is that it must be bright.

To achieve this goal, while considering the lighting design, it is also necessary to choose the decoration materials for the floor and walls as much as possible, and avoid dark-colored products.

Otherwise, the long-term dim atmosphere of the living room will make people feel very depressed psychologically.

3. Avoid chaos in the entrance area

In the case of high housing prices, a large public share, and limited actual space of the house, the entrance area must be well decorated.

A house with an entrance will better reflect the image of the host family, after all, you can see what it looks like as soon as you enter the door.If shoes are scattered all over the entrance hall, and there are piles of trash waiting to be taken out, the impression given by the host's home is one of slovenliness and untidiness.

To avoid leaving such a negative image in the minds of guests who come to the home, the entrance hall should pay attention to the aesthetic design in decoration. At the same time, make full use of this space, so that shoes, umbrellas, and some daily necessities that are often used but are more fragmented items can be well stored in this area.

4. Low ceilings are not suitable for suspended ceilings

In order to make the decorated house look good as a whole, many people will add the project of making a suspended ceiling in the decoration design scheme.

From the perspective of aesthetics, the compatibility between the suspended ceiling and central air conditioning, fresh air systems is relatively high, which can hide these devices, making the living room more neat and unified.

Moreover, from the aspects of sound insulation and heat insulation, the suspended ceiling can also play a role, which is also a combination of aesthetics and practicality.

Does this mean that it is necessary to make a suspended ceiling? The answer is no, it also depends on the specific situation of the house and personal choice.Tall-ceilinged houses are more suitable for installing suspended ceilings. If the ceiling height is below 250cm and a suspended ceiling is still installed, it will make the house appear very low.

In addition, with floor decoration, if the family members are all tall, they will feel very oppressed in such a house.

As for what can replace the suspended ceiling to make the living room show a higher decoration effect, common ones include plaster lines, track spotlights, etc., which can make the space more layered.

5. The kitchen should not face the bathroom

To maintain a healthy vitality, people need to eat a certain amount of food every day. As the place to cook these foods, the kitchen should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene.

If it is facing the bathroom that is usually used for defecation and bathing, the moisture in the bathroom will enter the kitchen, causing the air humidity in the kitchen to increase.

Some bacteria really like the humid environment, and if the kitchen is not cleaned in time, it will make the kitchen dirty.

In addition, bacteria can spread in the air, adhere to the ingredients needed for cooking, and if they are not cleaned up, they may affect health when they are eaten into the stomach.6. The kitchen should not be directly opposite the bedroom.

The bathroom can affect the kitchen, and similarly, the kitchen can also affect the bedroom.

In a person's life, apart from the time spent on daily activities, about half of the time is spent in bed.

In order to sleep comfortably and have good sleep quality, the decoration of the bedroom should be as warm and comfortable as possible.

At the same time, the clothes on the bed and in the wardrobe should also be kept clean to avoid having too much smoke and dust in the resting place.

However, if the bedroom is directly opposite the kitchen, even if a range hood is installed, it cannot guarantee that every wisp of smoke and oil is exhausted through the flue.

When the smoke and oil drift into the bedroom, you may not feel anything in a short time.

But over time, you will find that the items in the bedroom will be tainted with a smell of smoke and oil, and even feel a bit sticky, just like the kitchen counter that is not wiped clean after cooking and is stained with oil.7. Kitchen Stoves and Sinks Should Not Be Placed Together

In the kitchen, there are two very important parts: the stove used for cooking and the sink used for washing vegetables and dishes.

As the saying goes, "water and fire do not mix." Keeping the stove and sink at a certain distance from each other allows them to perform their respective functions, providing a better cooking experience in the kitchen.

If the kitchen space is not very large, try to maintain a distance of about 80 centimeters between the stove and the sink.

In well-equipped kitchens, the stove and sink can be placed on separate work surfaces, which further reduces interference.

III. The Secret to Exquisite Soft Decoration in the Living Room and Kitchen

How to make the decorated living room and kitchen appear more vibrant? It is essential to focus on soft decoration!

The soft decoration in the living room area usually includes sofas, carpets, curtains, and some decorative items.

When selecting, consider the size, color, and material to ensure consistency with the decoration style, creating a comfortable and grand living room image.The soft decoration in the kitchen area is more focused on storage. The design of wardrobe-style and drawer-style storage can be utilized to ensure that bowls, plates, cups, and chopsticks in the kitchen have appropriate places to be placed. In addition, kitchen soft decoration also needs to pay attention to waterproofing and fire prevention, after all, this is a place that needs to cook with fire, and it is necessary to ensure that the soft decoration materials meet safety standards.

Conclusion

Decoration is a very detail-oriented thing, so some friends may feel that there are too many details, which leads to a sense of fatigue, and they think that it's okay to do whatever they want, as long as it's good enough to live in.

However, in this way, the probability of decoration problems in the later stage will increase, making people feel uncomfortable living in the house. For this reason, no detail of decoration should be neglected. Spending more effort and time during decoration can bring a comfortable life for the future, which may be for decades.
