Errors found after repair

And a functional room in which everything is conveniently located and accessible is an important element that directly affects your satisfaction with the interior and the comfort of living. Usually, interior planning is done by designers who understand what and why they are doing, how exactly everything needs to be arranged correctly and what materials are better to choose for a particular room.

However, not everyone considers it necessary to use the services of professional designers, which is why after the repair minor “shortcomings” appear, which are not a serious problem, but to which people react something like this - “If I had known, I would have done it completely differently.” And here are the most common ones.

1. Few outlets. A huge number of technical accessories are now used. Even if we talk about the

kitchen

, you will need at least sockets for a refrigerator and an electric kettle. But it is quite possible that you will have a slow cooker, a coffee machine, an electric oven. Plus, you always need an extra outlet for all kinds of mixers, blenders and other similar things. Agree, already enough. But we are talking about only one room. Of course, you can use tees, but this is inconvenient and impractical. So don't limit yourself to outlets.
2. Economy. It is clear that you should not scatter money right and left. But still, you should not save on repairs. It is better to buy quality materials and consumables. As a result, it will be more economical - high-quality materials will last much longer and will retain a decent appearance for a long time, so you do not have to start a new repair in 2-3 years.
3. Combining a bathroom and a toilet. This may only be a good idea if you live alone in an apartment and don't plan on cohabiting with anyone. Otherwise, it is better to avoid such ideas, since a real war will flare up for the right to occupy this room in the morning. In addition, you won’t be able to relax in the

bathroom

for a long time, since someone will definitely want to go to the toilet and you will have to reduce the time spent. In general, if possible, it is better to share a combined bathroom than to connect a separated one.
4. Lack of a clear plan. A clear renovation plan can solve a lot of problems that may arise after the main work is completed. For example, if you do not mark out the location of furniture and sockets in the

living room

, then it may well turn out that the socket will be just behind the sofa and it will be impossible to get to it. The same with the switches - they should not be located near the door hinges, but near the handle. You can list the options for shortcomings endlessly, but the essence is still the same - first plan, then do it.
5. Improper flooring in the bathroom and kitchen. Parquet, laminate, linoleum, carpet - all this is fine, but not for the bathroom, and not for the kitchen. These floorings may look great and have a delightful texture, but they are appropriate for a

bedroom

, for example, but not for rooms where we deal with water and cooking. You can, of course, believe in your infallible accuracy and iron reliability of the sewer system, but situations are different. And if a pipe breaks in your kitchen, then you will erase everything from the tile and forget it, and you will simply have to re-lay the laminate or linoleum.
