(Dan Tri) - Small details in interior design, if not paid attention to, can cause many inconveniences in daily life.
When building a house, most people often pay attention to large items such as structure, area, and design style. However, there are small interior details that, if you do not pay attention to, will significantly affect your daily living experience. Below are 7 small mistakes that can cause big trouble if not carefully calculated.
Not calculating the electrical system carefully
Many people only install the standard number of sockets without considering the actual needs. This can lead to a lack of sockets, the need for additional extension cords, which is unsightly and poses a risk of fire. You should estimate the number of sockets according to the needs of electrical appliances in the house, especially in the kitchen, office and entertainment area.
Unreasonable light switch arrangement
Many people only think about the number of lights and forget about the location of the switches. Improper switch placement can cause inconvenience when using, especially at night. You should clearly identify the needs of each area to place the switch in the most convenient location, avoiding the situation of having to go far to turn off or on the lights.

Choosing the wrong floor tiles
Some families choose floor tiles based solely on aesthetics without considering durability and slip resistance. If the tiles are too slippery in the bathroom or outdoor yard, the risk of slipping will be very high. Therefore, you should prioritize tiles with a roughness suitable for each space.
Another case is a large living room but the floor is tiled with small tiles (30x30cm). This causes the floor to have too many joints, creating a confusing feeling and making the space look smaller.
No regard for drainage
Improper drainage system design can cause water stagnation, mold, and even damage to the house structure. You need to calculate the slope of the floor, the location of the drainage pipe properly, and use a filter to limit blockage.
For example, when tiling the bathroom but not creating a reasonable slope towards the drain, water will accumulate on the floor, causing mold, slipperiness and difficulty in cleaning.
Lack of natural light
Many houses lack light due to suboptimal design, using too many partitions or installing small windows. This makes the space stuffy and lifeless. When building a house, you should prioritize natural lighting solutions such as skylights, large windows, glass walls, etc. to help the space become more airy.
Do not install exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom.
Kitchens and bathrooms are areas that are prone to odors and mold if they do not have a good ventilation system. Many families only install windows without exhaust fans, leading to the air in the house always being stuffy. Although this is a small detail, you should invest in an exhaust fan to ensure the space is always airy and clean.
Choose the wrong location to install the air conditioner
Placing the air conditioner in the wrong place can cause the cold air to be distributed unevenly, causing discomfort when using it. If you place the air conditioner blowing directly on the bed, the cold air can cause discomfort, easily causing dry skin, sore throat or cold while sleeping.
Conversely, if you install the air conditioner too close to the ceiling, there is not enough space to draw and distribute cool air, the cooling efficiency will be significantly reduced.
