5 small designs when building a house to make life more comfortable

HẠ MÂY |

Small details when designing a house, if carefully calculated from the beginning, will help make life more convenient and avoid many inconveniences later.

Toilet light switch

Have you ever had a light suddenly turned off from outside while showering? The cause may just be someone accidentally touching the switch or a naughty child. This situation is quite inconvenient and uncomfortable. Therefore, right from the design stage, the light switch should be arranged in a suitable position, convenient for users inside the bathroom, limiting the situation of light being turned off unexpectedly.

Bedroom light switch

When designing, switches should be placed in many convenient locations, especially near doorways and bedheads. This helps to easily turn on the lights when entering the room and turn off the lights right at the bed before going to bed, while avoiding unnecessary lights.

The position of the socket and wire needs to be consistent with the interior design.

Usually, the electrical outlet for the lamp is located in the center of the room, suitable for spaces using chandeliers or ceiling lights in the middle of the ceiling.

However, for designs that use open ceilings or indirect lighting systems running along one side of the ceiling, the location of the socket and power lines needs to be calculated differently. Wires may have to run from the center to the side, leading to the addition of ceiling construction items.

If you anticipate the arrangement of lights right from the design stage, homeowners can limit the need to repair, travel the power lines and incur additional costs.

Arrange a hand washing area near the dining room

Washing hands before eating and cleaning the mouth after meals are common habits. However, the location of implementation also needs to be considered.

If you have to go to the bathroom to wash your hands before meals, users may have to touch the door handle after washing their hands thoroughly. Arranging a hand washing area near the dining room will be more convenient, helping to limit contact with surfaces at risk of containing bacteria. This is also a simple way for young children to form a habit of hygiene before and after meals.

Electrical outlet under the dining table

If you regularly use an electric stove at the dining table, you should calculate a suitable socket right from the start of building or renovating the house. The power line also needs to be designed to meet the power capacity of the device and limit its sharing with many other high-capacity devices. This is both convenient to use and reduces the risk of electricity overload.
