1. Painting walls First of all, environmental protection and health factors should be considered when purchasing paints. Don't underestimate this, after all, we will stay at home for a long time! Therefore, it is best to find the odorless, pollution-free and easy-to-clean environmental protection paint, so as to ensure the safety of family living.
Then, clean the wall before construction. Don't underestimate the traces of cement and paint, they are not friendly! Carefully remove them with a brush or sandpaper to ensure that the wall is flat and clean, so that the coating effect will be better. Then, remember to apply the primer. Primer is to improve the adhesion of paint, so it can't be ignored! After the primer is dried, apply the topcoat. When painting the wall, keep the technique even and try to control the thickness of the paint to be moderate, so as to make the wall look more beautiful.
If you are still going to put up wallpaper or decorative boards, I have a little suggestion! Paint the wall first to ensure that the wall is flat and clean. Otherwise, if you find a small flaw on the wall after pasting wallpaper on it, it's a heart plug.
2. Floor installation Floor installation requires skill and experience, but don't worry, there are treasure resources waiting for you to explore online! I still remember that when I installed the floor, I also learned a lot of tricks by relying on the internet. First, choose suitable flooring materials, such as solid wood flooring or laminate flooring, according to the actual situation of the room.
Measure the size and shape of the floor before installation. This step can't be sloppy. Then, remember to clean up the dust and bumps on the ground, so that the ground is flat and tidy. Don't forget to coat the floor with moisture-proof agent, which is the secret of protecting the floor!
Next is the key installation link! When installing the floor, pay attention to keep the floor flat and the gap consistent. You can use professional tools, such as saws, hammers and flat-headed pliers, to help you complete these operations. But remember to wear gloves. Protecting your hands is the most important thing!
3. Curtain installation I have installed many curtains myself. Now share some experiences with you! First, buy good quality curtains and accessories. When choosing curtains, you can consider your favorite style and color, and remember to look at the size clearly, so as not to find it inappropriate after buying it. Also prepare some hooks or hanging rings to fix the curtains.
Next, measurement and cutting are the key steps. According to the actual situation, measure the width above the window and the length of the curtain with a tape measure, and then cut the curtain fabric according to the measurement results to ensure the appropriate size. When installing curtains, you should pay attention to two points. First of all, according to the type and weight of the curtain, choose the appropriate hook or hanging ring. Second, keep the distance between the curtain and the wall properly. Too tight will affect the unfolding of curtains, too loose will not look good. So, adjust the distance to make the curtains look neat and beautiful.
If you want to install some complicated curtain systems, such as electric sunshade or blinds, I suggest asking professional technicians to install them. After all, they have more experience and professional knowledge.
4. Installation of lamps Haha, I have tossed a lot of lamps myself. Now I'll share some experiences with you. First of all, safety comes first! Before installing lamps, be sure to turn off the power switch and cut off the power supply to ensure your own safety. Yes, this step must not be ignored! Then, remove the original lamps to ensure that the work area is clean and tidy.
Then, install the new lamp on the ceiling. There is usually a base or bracket, which is firmly fixed to the ceiling with screws. Don't forget to use an appropriate tool, such as a screwdriver or wrench, to help you complete this operation. The next step is to connect the wires! Connect the wire of the lamp with the wire on the ceiling. Remember to ensure the correct connection to avoid unnecessary electrical problems. If you are not familiar with the wiring method, you'd better ask a professional electrician for help, safety first!
When installing lamps and lanterns, we must pay attention to avoid wire contact with metal conductors, water and other liquids to avoid electrical accidents. Remember to keep safety awareness and operate carefully!
5. Wall decoration Wall decoration is a task that can make you a DIY master! I also tried to decorate the walls with wallpaper, tiles and boards. First of all, be sure to keep the wall clean and tidy. To clean the wall, you can use a vacuum cleaner or a wet cloth to remove dust and dirt, so that materials can be better attached to the wall.
Next, cut and install materials according to the size and shape of the wall. Remember to measure the wall size, and then cut wallpaper, tiles or plates according to the actual situation. Pay attention to keep the fit neat and beautiful, and the edges and corners are aligned to ensure that there are no obvious gaps.
When pasting wallpaper or tiles, it is very important to choose the appropriate glue or adhesive. Choose professional glue or adhesive according to the characteristics of materials to ensure that the wall decoration materials are solid and reliable. Apply glue or adhesive correctly according to the instructions in the product manual, and paste wallpaper or tiles according to the instructions.
In short, when you decorate yourself, you need to pay attention to safety and technical issues and choose a decoration project that suits your level and ability. Before construction, you can consult relevant information or consult professionals to ensure the smooth progress of the whole process and achieve the expected results. It is important to be patient and enjoy the renovation process to make your home more comfortable and warm.
