How important is design research?
One of the safest ways to find out for yourself how implacable you is if you are going to be renovating or furnishing a new house or room, repairing or renewing one of the corners in your home terrace, washing machine, pantry ....
One thing is for sure! Any good quality design, no matter if it tastes good, and everyone gets irritated when completely inappropriate, foreign to the space details and materials are used!
We will dedicate this article to our knowledge in choosing basic materials for floors, walls, ceilings ....
Here is an example. In a working café, the designer decided to use tiles with natural wood veneer for the flooring - a romantic solution for your home and the worst decision for a public institution. The great flow of people passing through this plant dampened the floor, and now he seems to be neglected and gentle because of the softness of the wood.
In this way he can not recover as "good old parquet" because it is already too distorted. The solution is to dismantle and replace it with a new oak, taking into account the fact that the wood is lying down and "air-conditioned" for at least a month. In today's marketing year the flooring offers a variety of tiles and floorings that very successfully imitate wood, hygienic and easy to maintain.
The second mistake is often the use of wallpaper in public or private toilets and bathrooms. Nowadays, their diversity is so great that it's hard not to be tempted by entering a specialized wallpaper shop. Despite the exceptional design, imagine the view around the wetlands after a while. Due to the paper structure, the wallpaper does not protect the walls and is damaged by water and moisture. This makes them a good choice for damp rooms.
These two examples demonstrate how important the study is when designing. It is crucial to know which material is appropriate. It is clear that none of us is the cladding that we choose to endure forever, but it is nice to get the most out of it after we've already begun a repair. Our choice depends on how long our walls and floors will be in good shape, especially in public spaces.
Do not be tempted if something looks good on the store shelf or in the picture! Check out the specs and check if there are any objects where you can see the material used to find out how the weather affects it.
All that is said above does not mean that you must necessarily look for the highest quality or the highest price. Occasionally, our circumstances are deprived of time or we do not have a large budget. In these cases, you can always choose the cheaper options - such as sanding. And if you want your changes and reconstructions to last for over 5 years, do not forget to read the small font!
I hope you will remember about this article the next time you see a super new and attractive product and not pick it up soon from the store shelves but first examine and then make the smartest and best solution for Your case!
