The existence of carpet is usually to highlight the style of furniture. To put it bluntly, it is a supporting role in the home. But just like a scene has its ups and downs when the protagonist and supporting role conflict, the space will appear rich only when the carpet and furniture cooperate. full. Moreover, the soft nature of carpets makes the home feel more casual and lazy.

Lamps are one of the important tools for creating atmosphere in the home. If you choose a lamp well, even a bland furniture combination may bring visual impact. The materials of Nordic style lamps are flexible and changeable. As long as the lines are simple and smooth, you can try iron art, glass, wood, and PVC.

Because Nordic style pursues natural ecology, green plants are an essential decoration. In terms of variety selection, tall and large green leaves are mainly used to form large and distinctive color blocks, bringing vitality to the mainly white space.

Plant containers are also very important. Metal, kraft paper, glass, cement, and woven baskets are common materials. These containers, which seem to be far away from the industrial production line and show a hand-made simplicity, are especially popular in the Nordic style.

4 There are three secrets to open up the living room with a balcony: first, open up the living room and balcony, second, not set up a glass door partition, third, spread the wooden floor of the living room all the way to the balcony... In this way, the space can be visually extended to the maximum extent.

This type of color will not darken the room, is not emotional, and will not intensify the feeling of "hot" or "cold". It is suitable for both summer and winter.

White latex paint also comes in a variety of colors, including cold pure white and warm milky white.

Almost every item has the wall as its background. If you choose the natural and versatile white color, at least you don’t have to worry about whether the furniture, curtains, decorative paintings, etc. are in harmony with the wall color, which saves you a lot of worry...

There is no need to adjust the color of white paint. If there is a bump in the later stage, it is very convenient to touch up, and there will be no color difference between the touch-up paint and the original paint.

▼A little knowledge about colored paint is as follows:

Color-mixing paints are all made with white paint as the base. In order to create full colors, the quality of the paint must be good so that it can be mixed evenly and not "painted" after it is applied to the wall.

When purchasing, you must choose a brand with reliable quality. Let the merchant use a computer to adjust the color, and take out samples for testing. After confirmation, the paint can be made into a barrel that can be used directly. This is more accurate than the on-site color adjustment by the master worker.

Calculate the usage of backups and buy more backups, because color differences are very easy to occur in different batches of color grading.

The yin and yang corners of the yin and yang corner wall should be straight and should not be rough. Because the modern space seems to be visible at a glance, if the details are not perfect, they will stand out. It can be seen that the more simple the style, the stricter the requirements for craftsmanship.

The color transition between walls, between walls and ceilings, and between walls and plaster lines will especially test the skills and patience of the workers. Remember to emphasize to the painter that it is okay to add a little extra labor. ~

Matte solid wood floors without sealing coating have the warm and moist texture of natural wood and are the most comfortable to step on. The disadvantage is that they are not as stain-resistant and wear-resistant as sealed lacquer floors.

Three-layer solid wood composite flooring is a higher-quality category of composite flooring. The surface layer is made of high-quality wood such as ash and oak. It is 2~3mm thick and feels acceptable when you step on it. The bottom two layers are made of fast-growing wood such as pine and poplar.

Non-slip bathroom floors often accumulate water, making it easy for people to slip. It is advisable to use floor tiles with matte uneven surfaces or wrinkled stripes.

Size: The bathroom is small in area and has many corners. Large bricks are frequently cut and lost, making it difficult to install floor drains and level the floor. Paving small bricks is expensive, has many gaps, and is easy to get dirty... 300x (300~600) mm is more suitable. size.

Polished tiles Polished tiles are not glazed, and are made of the same material on the front and back. They are specially polished to have a bright surface, become astringent when exposed to water, are non-slip, anti-fouling and wear-resistant. The surface of polished tiles can be made into a variety of patterns, such as imitation wood, imitation stone, etc.

Matte tiles If the kitchen is well-lit, polished tiles will have dazzling reflections, while matte tiles have a comfortable visual effect, especially dark-colored matt tiles, which are particularly textured.

The shiny vitrified tiles are an upgraded version of polished tiles, with a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%, and better anti-fouling, anti-slip, and wear-resistant capabilities. Of course, the price is also ~

In the original house type, you can see the dining room and living room as soon as you enter the door, and there is no such thing as an entrance hall... Sweetrice was bold and creative and designed a coherent wall cabinet and wooden ceiling to limit and strengthen the entrance space.

The wall cabinet was custom-made by sweetrice, who drew pictures himself. There is an open partition in the middle, and four decorative plates are placed. The lower part is suspended 20 centimeters in the air, making it more light-hearted.

The wooden ceiling is made of a wooden frame produced by carpenters on site, and the ash willow veneer is attached. Install the wall cabinets first, then the ceiling. Finally, paint the top surface and make a color test according to the color of the cabinet door. After the sample is dry, compare it with the cabinet door to reduce color difference.

Due to indoor lighting, the top surface usually appears darker than the facade. To achieve a consistent color effect, the color of the topcoat can be appropriately lighter.

In order to hide the refrigerator, the wooden partition is covered with glass. The total thickness is only 9 centimeters, which greatly saves space compared to a brick wall! The mirror reflection effect increases the sense of depth. It can also be used as a message board. You can write casually with a water pen and there will be no dust~

"Some people say that downdraft integrated stoves are unsafe. If the pot completely covers the mouth of the stove, there will be serious safety risks in the event of gas leakage. But I think since it is a big brand, it also has a special downdraft series. , then the quality should be guaranteed, and accidents are mostly caused by Sanwu brands; secondly, with the food intake of two people in my family, a 28-caliber pot is enough, and I can't even lift a large pot that can close the stove. . At present, I am very satisfied with using this integrated stove. The suction is so strong that there is no smell at all when cooking, and the heat does not come out, so cooking is not so hot in summer. The disadvantage is that since someone mentioned that it is a safety hazard, it cannot be used. Buy a large pot with ears over 34 caliber, so it is suitable for small families with a small population. "

A simple self-leveling cement floor will easily become dusty and crack if no other treatment is done, which will greatly affect your living experience. The usual approach is to cover it with a layer of varnish. Another method is to add a curing agent to the cement and then polish it to achieve the final effect.

If you want to create the light feeling of cement, you need to talk about another process-cement powder. First lay a layer of cement mortar as a base, mix dry powdered high-gloss cement with clean water, and scrape two or more layers. The next layer can only be started after the previous layer is completely dry. Finally, after it is completely dry, it needs to be polished. .

Finally, we have to be clear about an unavoidable shortcoming, which is that no matter how well you do it, the cement will basically crack. If you are lucky, the cracks will be smaller. But that’s okay, rough routes can often be informal.

Knock down half of the light wall between the living room and bedroom and fill it with glass partitions so that the living room and bedroom can borrow light from each other. If it is not opened, the bedroom window will be small and awkwardly located, and people will not be able to see the sunlight outside the window when they wake up.

The real sense of "borrowing light" is only for a certain period of time every day, when the sun shines directly on the glass partition, but Arnold wants to borrow more diffuse light, so he installed blinds on the inside of the partition every morning. Get up and pull the blinds into a parallel light-transmitting state. Imagine that what you see when you are sitting on the sofa in the living room or lying on the bed in the bedroom is not a white wall, but the real time flowing outside the window. That feeling brings you The transparency you gain is a qualitative leap.

Therefore, the improvement in lighting may not be great, but the Chinese people talk about artistic conception and the spiritual world peeking out of small windows, just like the practice of small windows in Jiangnan gardens to provide deep views.

Glass partition: 2.5 meters high, 1.8 meters wide, single track, cannot be pushed or pulled, the bottom track is directly nailed into the wooden floor, and the outer frames on both sides of the top are bonded to the wall with glass glue so that the four sides are fixed.

A work area was created based on the partition: when working, there is a bright "window" view; the light wall next to it is recessed towards the living room, and the bedroom borrows part of the living room space to place a 31 cm deep bookcase.

The whole house is equipped with 3 kinds of plants, philodendron, swordtail orchid and pothos. Among them, philodendron releases oxygen during the day and is placed in the living room and kitchen; swordtail orchid releases oxygen at night and is placed in the bedroom; pothos purifies the air and is placed in multiple rooms. area, thus forming an air purification and oxygen circulation system.

HAN said that this plant system is the result of research by Indian scientists and NASA. In theory, if a person is placed in a sealed glass cover, as long as there are a sufficient number of these three types of plants, the air can be kept pure and oxygen abundant.

Friends who are considering cement bricks can take note of these key points: Cement bricks are inkjet printed after the ceramic tiles are fired. The top foreign brands are priced at 800 yuan/square meter or even more expensive; only a few domestic brands can restore the appearance of cement bricks. In terms of texture, the price is 300~400 yuan/square meter, and HAN chose one of them. As for the one or two hundred cement bricks, they are only gray with repeated patterns, which is very ugly.

Pure cotton has a soft texture and is suitable for making close-fitting clothing, but its drape is poor, it shrinks easily when washed, and its wrinkle resistance is not good. Think about your pure cotton half-sleeves and you will have an intuitive understanding of this fabric? Therefore, pure cotton is not suitable for making curtains.

The so-called linen fabric has nothing to do with hemp. Curtain fabrics mainly involve linen. However, linen is easy to wrinkle, which affects the drape of curtains, so curtain fabrics are basically not made of pure linen.

Polyester is the most produced synthetic fiber. Polyester fabric has good drape and is easy to care for. When blended with other fibers, it can achieve the natural effect of cotton and linen.

Fabrics made mainly of polyester and blended with other fibers are cheap and high-quality curtain fabrics. Most of the fabrics currently on the market fall into this category.

The yarn count refers to the most basic unit of finished fabric, which refers to the thickness of the yarn; the yarn count density refers to the number of warp and weft yarns arranged per square inch. The higher the density, the better the quality.

The yarn count reflected in the indicator of curtain fabric is the weight, that is, the weight of fabric per square meter is expressed as gsm, which is an important standard for measuring the quality of fabric.

Textile methods are generally divided into two types: knitting and woven.

Printing uses printing and dyeing technology to print and dye directly on the fabric. The advantages are bright colors and relatively low cost.

Jacquard, the pattern woven by a jacquard machine cannot be changed once it is woven. Therefore, fabrics using jacquard technology are generally more expensive than fabrics using printing technology.

Embroidery is stronger than printed patterns, has better air permeability, and has a variety of pattern choices. At the same time, it is simpler than jacquard technology, so the price of embroidered curtains is between printing and jacquard.

Roman rods are curtains that are directly punched through an aluminum alloy crossbar and slid back and forth. Because plugs similar to ancient Roman architectural styles are usually installed at both ends of the rod for decoration, it is named Roman rod. The price of a single pole is around 40 yuan/meter.

Roman poles generally do not require curtain boxes. Roman heads come in a variety of styles and are highly decorative. It is also easy to disassemble and clean, and is suitable for situations where the distance between the window and the ceiling is small.

However, if the span is too large, the load-bearing capacity of the Roman pole will become poor if it is too long. Roman poles with a length of more than 2.5 meters usually require additional brackets in the middle.

Because the Roman ring directly rubs back and forth on the rod, the curtain will not be pulled back and forth smoothly. Some manufacturers will add a plastic edge strip above the Roman rod where the ring and rod contact each other to reduce friction between the ring and rod. , while also reducing noise.

The slide rail is to arrange some small rollers on the track, and the hooks are connected below the small rollers, and the hooks are connected to the curtains. Compared with the Roman rod, the small roller uses rolling friction to replace the sliding friction between the Roman rod and the Roman ring. The effect is that it is smoother when pulling back and forth.

However, the decorative effect of the slide rail is not enough. Usually we need to install a curtain box outside the track. When making a suspended ceiling, we must reserve the position of the curtain box. The materials of the curtain box include wood, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.

If you are making curtains that cover the whole wall, leave a groove for the curtains to hide the curtain rods when hanging the ceiling. This is not only beautiful and elegant, but also avoids the problem that the ceiling cannot be installed due to poor stress resistance after the ceiling is completed.

If you choose to install a Roman pole, you can leave 5 to 10cm above and below the installation position. Roman poles are generally installed on the side. If you just want to simply cover the window, the size of the pole should be based on the clear width of the window. Just add about 30-40cm to one side.

The distance between the pole and the ceiling is about 10cm.

If you want to make curtains that cover the whole wall, then the length of the rod can be reduced by about 6 to 8cm from the width of the wall. In that case, even if there is an error in your measurement, there will be enough space left at both ends of the rod. space for installation.

Generally, you choose to install double tracks, hang a layer of gauze and a layer of curtain.

The track is about 4cm away from the wall. After adjusting it back and forth until you find a suitable position, use a screwdriver to screw a few times through each mounting hole of the track to leave a mark on the wall. Remove the track and use an electric drill to start at the mark. Drill the hole, insert the expansion bolt after the hole is drilled, and finally tighten the fixed track.

Side mounting of rails is essentially the same as side mounting of Roman poles, depending on which style of rail is purchased.

The motor plays the core role in the entire electric curtain.

Motors are divided into two types: AC motors and DC motors. In comparison, DC motors have less power and less noise. It is best to choose a DC motor, which saves power and is quiet.

But when purchasing, you should ask how much weight of curtain the motor power can drive. A 13W motor can drive a curtain weighing up to 50kg. If it is heavier, a more powerful motor is needed.

Motors are divided into built-in and external types in terms of installation. The external motor is exposed to the outside and is larger in size; the built-in motor is small in size and hidden in the track. In appearance, the built-in motor is more beautiful.

In terms of power supply mode, motors are divided into power socket type and lithium battery rechargeable type.

If it is inconvenient to change the water and electricity lines at home, and you don’t want to use open wiring to affect the appearance, you can choose lithium battery electric curtains. A single charge takes 4 to 5 hours and can be used for half a year. The price is about 400 yuan more expensive than the power outlet type.

Regarding smart motor brands, the well-known ones include Duya, Lumi Aqara, Aoke, Somfy, etc. The smart systems that each brand can connect to are different.

The shapes of the tracks include straight, L-shaped, U-shaped, trapezoidal, etc. You can choose according to the actual shape of your windowsill.

If the window sill at home is U-shaped, trapezoidal or other irregular shape, ask the merchant whether it can be customized according to the actual situation.

According to the opening and closing mode, the track is divided into two modes: single opening and double opening. You can choose according to the actual situation of your home and living habits.

Many brands sell motors, tracks, and installation services in packages, but their track prices are relatively expensive, with the price of 1 meter being more than 100 yuan.

If you think the manufacturer's package is more expensive, you can also buy the track separately online, but be sure to buy a track that is compatible with the selected motor. There are many tracks on Taobao that are compatible with Duya and Lumi Aqara motors. The price ranges from 40 yuan to 60 yuan per meter, which is much cheaper than motor manufacturers.

When purchasing, please note that the track material is preferably aluminum alloy. The thicker the track wall, the better. It is best to choose stainless steel for the hanging wheels and booms.

One motor can only drive the curtains on one track. If it is a dual-track combination, two motors are needed.

If you decide to install electric curtains before decoration, you must reserve sockets near the curtains during the water and electricity stage. Generally, curtain motors come with a 1-meter-long power cord. The socket should preferably be within 1 meter of the motor location.

There are two ways of track installation: side mounting and top mounting.

Generally, when installing a curtain box, it is necessary to install it from the top. Be careful to reserve enough space in the curtain box. For a single track, it is best to reserve 20cm for the inner diameter of the curtain box, and for a double track, it is best to reserve 30cm.

Next, it’s time to connect the track to the motor, which can be installed on either side of the track. Generally, both sides of the track are equipped with transmission boxes specially used with motors. The main transmission box is connected to the motor, and the other end is the auxiliary transmission box.

Place the upper end of the motor into the main transmission box. Rotate the motor, you will hear a click and it will automatically lock when it rotates into place, and the motor is connected to the transmission box. Remember not to energize the motor without connecting it properly to avoid damaging the motor.

After installation, power on and test. If the curtains can be opened and closed normally, then there is no problem.

Mattresses woven from palm fiber are relatively hard and relatively low-priced. They are made entirely of plant fibers and are naturally free of harmful substances. They are very environmentally friendly. However, because they are woven from plant fibers, they are less durable and prone to collapse and deformation.

▲Palm mattresses are prone to insects and mold if they are not well maintained

Palm mattresses are also roughly divided into two types: mountain palm mattresses and coconut palm mattresses.

Palm mattresses are generally harder and more suitable for the elderly and growing teenagers. The quality difference between mountain palm and coconut palm is not very big. The material is only divided into soft and hard, but the coconut palm fiber is shorter. , production requires colloid-assisted molding. When purchasing, pay attention to smell whether the smell is pungent.

The price is relatively cheap, and its softness and lightness have made it the first choice for many renters. At the same time, foam mattresses are very warm. For the elderly who are afraid of cold, foam mattresses are a good choice (but they should not be too thick).

However, there are also leaders among ordinary foam mattresses. Memory foam mattresses are also called "slow rebound mattresses".

After the memory foam mattress is under heavy pressure, it can adjust the support according to the pressure of the human body on the mattress, slowly release the rebound force, and evenly disperse the pressure.

However, no matter what kind of mattress is used for a long time, it is easy to deform and become soft, losing support. You will feel back pain when you get up the next day, and its breathability is poor. There is often water vapor in the contact area between the sponge and the bed board after getting up.

Compared with sponge mattresses, they have better support and breathability, and are more cost-effective. Spring mattresses are still the most commonly used mattresses today, in terms of comfort, durability, and support for the spine. Suitable for everyone in terms of protection.

But ordinary spring mattresses also have their own shortcomings. They will put the neck and waist in a state of tension, and long-term use will cause damage to our cervical and lumbar spine. This disease is now also prevalent among young people... (It seems that it is It’s time to start taking care of yourself)

Independent pocket spring mattress

Latex is a natural and rare material. The material itself is very rare. It mainly comes from the sap of rubber trees. Each rubber tree can only produce 30cc of latex juice every day. It is extremely precious. It takes at least 100 trees to make a 1.8m*2m latex mattress. It takes 7 days to produce latex, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in the high cost of latex mattresses.

Many manufacturers advertise "100% natural latex", but in fact there is no 100% natural latex mattress. In the production process of latex products, antioxidants, curing agents, hardness regulators and other essential aids must be added. agent, otherwise there is no way to make it.

What's more, they use cheap synthetic latex to deceive consumers and charge huge profits, which is a scam for you.

The surface of natural latex mattresses is matte, not very bright, and the color is milky white due to oxidation. When it comes to oxidation, let me mention it again. Oxidation of latex mattresses is inevitable, and small debris will fall off due to oxidation. , and about 8% of people may be allergic. You can buy a latex pillow to try out first.

It is recommended to use infant-specific mattresses and spring mattresses

Babies are in the developmental stage and their skeletal muscles are relatively weak, so they need a mattress with suitable softness and hardness. As for checking whether the mattress is of suitable softness and hardness, it is very convenient. If a baby weighing about 3kg sleeps on a mattress, The depression when the mattress is pressed is about 1cm. This level of softness is suitable and can protect the baby's immature skeletal muscles. In addition, if you use a crib, the mattress must be the same size as the crib. Do not use it. There are gaps along the edge of the bed. If the gap is too large, the baby's arms, legs, head, etc. will fall into it, easily causing suffocation.

More recommended are palm mattresses and spring mattresses

Adolescents who are in the developmental stage have great plasticity and need to pay special attention to the cervical spine. The fit of the mattress at this stage is very important. It is recommended to use a firmer mattress.

Recommended latex mattress or independent pocket spring mattress

A soft latex mattress can greatly relieve the pressure on the human body and provide support while ensuring comfort and softness. Mature bones will not be afraid of soft mattresses.

Recommended palm mattresses and spring mattresses

The elderly are prone to osteoporosis, lumbar muscle strain, waist and leg pain and other problems. Osteoporosis means reduced bone mass and a decrease in the bone's ability to withstand pressure. Therefore, you can choose a firmer one on the basis of moderate softness and hardness. A slightly firmer mattress will provide good support for each part of the bones.

2. Touch it

3. Smell

4.Lie down

1. An important concept when cleaning mattresses is to "dip dry" and do not wipe;

2. Use fitted sheets. It is much easier and less troublesome to clean the fitted sheets in the washing machine than to clean the mattress;

3. Use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum the mattress every month to prevent dust accumulation and dust mites;

4. In order to make the spring force of the mattress even, you can change the front and back sides or the placement direction every three months, and use the head and feet interchangeably to prevent you from always sleeping in the same position;

5. Do not often sit on the edge of the mattress or the corner of the bed. Prolonged pressure can easily cause the bed edge to collapse, and then the gain will outweigh the loss.
