Time, never spoken, but answered all the questions!Have you found a problem, I don't know when it started, many of the "decoration methods" that we were more familiar with in the past are rarely seen now.
For example, ask a carpenter to make cabinets, install sliding doors on balconies, install curtains on balconies, ......
It is said that time will eliminate things that are not "firm" enough, and these disappearing decoration methods, are they not firm enough? Or are they not angry? Still can't keep up with the times?
In this issue, COCO does not stand in the perspective of design, but as an ordinary decorator, I will talk to you about the reasons why carpentry cabinets are "disappearing" in the decoration industry and the story behind them.
In the past, when decorating, almost every household had to find a carpenter to make cabinets, and now although there are people who are still looking for carpenters to make cabinets, it is becoming more and more rare.
So, what is the real reason why carpentry cabinets are disappearing? Is it a reform that "conforms to the times", or is it a phenomenon that is manipulated by capital?
From the intuitive reason, the carpentry cabinet is gradually disappearing mainly because"Talent aspect", "* aspect", "environmental protection aspect", "workmanship aspect" and "* orientation".These five aspects, the following is a simple analysis.
There is a talent gap
Wishing for a son to become a dragon is the wish of every parent, except for a carpenter family, few parents want their children to be carpenters in the future, although carpenters earn no less than office workers.
This has led to the carpentry in the decoration market, there is a serious "fault phenomenon", some carpenters with good craftsmanship are basically older post-70s, post-80s carpenters are very few, not to mention post-90s and post-00s.
Therefore, as the older generation of carpenters gets older and the younger carpenters become fewer and fewer, gradually no one goes to the carpenter to make cabinets.
Not cheap
In the current decoration market, a carpenter with good craftsmanship is not cheap.
Some time ago, I found a few old carpenters to help me make a few sets of cabinets, and bought a total of more than 10,000 yuan of boards, and the final settlement cost was about 8,000 yuan, which is not much different from the cost of customization of the whole house.
However, if you don't have many years of decoration experience like Coco, there will be a lot of problems and contradictions in the process of carpentry cabinets, which is annoying.
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, many people no longer look for carpenters to make cabinets, and directly find the whole house to customize the cabinets, just to save worry.
The environmental protection is relatively poor
Looking for a carpenter to make a cabinet, although you can buy an eco-board or multi-layer board with good environmental protection, but the environmental protection of a cabinet is qualified, not only refers to the environmental protection of the board.
The woodworking cabinets are basically hand-banded, so a lot of glue will be used, which is much worse than the current popular laser edge banding in terms of environmental protection.
If you meet a conscientious carpenter, it's okay, but if you meet a black-hearted carpenter, the invisible place will not even seal the edge of the cabinet, in order to protect the environment, it is more assured, so more and more people no longer look for carpenters to make cabinets.
Rough workmanship
Although hand-made things are more sturdy and durable, as long as they are handmade, there will be mistakes, not as accurate as machines, so hand-made cabinets, whether from the edge banding or details, are relatively rough, and the shape is not so beautiful.
** Guidance
Who is the biggest beneficiary of the disappearance of carpentry cabinets? There is no doubt that it is the whole house customization.
Therefore, many brand companies in the whole house customization will spend a lot of money to find Internet celebrities or ** to advertise, and at the same time, they do not forget to infinitely magnify the disadvantages of carpentry cabinets, forming a kind of misleading public.
Therefore, when decorating, many people take into account the disadvantages of the above five aspects, and do not choose carpentry cabinets, which leads to the gradual disappearance of carpentry cabinets.
However, from the perspective of a decoration consumer, is the disappearance of this decoration method beneficial or disadvantageous? In my opinion, it will do more harm than good.
The whole house is customized, and the family is dominant
For consumers, one more choice, one more competition in the market, and healthy competition is conducive to consumers making better choices.
With the gradual disappearance of carpentry cabinets, the cabinets at home can almost only be customized by the whole house, which leads to the dominance of the whole house customization, resulting in a very limited choice for decorators.
Moreover, the whole house is customized with cabinets made of particle board, but it is comparable to cabinets made of solid wood boards, and it is full of various routines and traps.
The construction period of the cabinet is getting longer and longer
In the past, two old carpenters played cabinets, and they could finish the cabinets at home in a few days, but now with the prevalence of whole-house customization, customization + installation of cabinets basically requires a one-month cycle, which seriously affects the progress of construction.
The lifespan of cabinets is getting shorter and shorter
In the past, the cabinets made by carpenter, although they were lacking in beauty and workmanship, were very durable, so the cabinets that had lived in the home for 10 years still had to be very strong.
However, with the disappearance of carpentry cabinets and the prevalence of whole-house customization, whether cabinets made of machines and particle boards can stand the test of time is still a question to be verified.
However, I think that in terms of the durability of the cabinet, the cabinet made by carpentry is definitely better than the cabinet customized by the whole house.
Speaking in front: Fans who have been following coco for a long time should know that I have never been an admirer of whole-house customization, and even often complain about whole-house customization, so the following suggestions are by no means bottomless advertising.
Whole house customization
Although the whole house customization is not recommended, it is understandable that the whole house customization is the first choice of many people, because the whole house customized cabinet has the characteristics of worry-free and trouble-free, exquisite workmanship, good-looking appearance, and environmental protection.
If you are a person who is afraid of trouble or time is tight, then it is recommended that you directly choose the whole house customization, except for the expensive, more routines, durability and other aspects, there is basically no other problem.
The way of combining carpentry and processing plants
The combination of carpentry and processing plant is the most recommended way for me to make cabinets, and it is also the most cost-effective way to make cabinets.
The specific construction methods are as follows:
First of all, we purchase our own plates, which are safe and environmentally friendly.
Find a processing plant to cut the board and seal the edge according to its own design drawings to ensure fine workmanship and environmental protection.
Find a carpenter to assemble the cabinet on site and ensure the durability of the cabinet.
There are two main reasons why this way of making cabinets is recommended:
First of all, this method does not need a very high level of carpentry, only needs to be able to understand the basic level of craftsmanship.
At the same time, it can ensure the environmental protection, quality and longevity of the cabinet.
And it's a lot cheaper than whole-house customization.
Said at the end of the article:
The disappearance of a decoration method is sometimes indeed eliminated because it cannot keep up with the pace of the times, and the disappearance of some traditional decoration methods is not necessarily a good thing.
Therefore, through this article, I hope that you can look at the decoration cabinet rationally, carpentry cabinet and whole house customization have their own pros and cons, combined with their own time, capital situation to choose their most suitable, is the most rational choice.
