Renovation is a complex and time-consuming process. Many novices don't understand anything about the first time they decorate, blindly follow the trend, pursue beauty and ignore practicality, so they step on a lot of pits on the decoration road. The following is a summary of the 3 pits that are easy to step on in the decoration of new houses, I hope to remind you to avoid frequent pits in the decoration process:
The first decoration has no concept of the cost of the whole decoration, the blind pursuit of luxury effect in the decoration, the over-decoration leads to the final overspending, and the money is not used on the knife edge and also causes the trouble of maintenance and cleaning in the future. Examples:
Complex TV backdrop :Many people will work the TV background wall when decorating, the more exaggerated the better, all kinds of shapes are superimposed, solid wood wall panels, gypsum lines, rock slab grilles, etc., in fact, these things are easy to become outdated, and how to look rustic in the past, it is not easy to take care of it in daily life.
Hollow groove ceiling:If your home is a villa and a large flat floor, you can consider a complex ceiling design, but the ordinary flat floor is really not necessary, not to mention the low floor height, the cost of the ceiling is not cheap. Like my home's back groove hanging whiskers, although there is a sense of atmosphere and layering, but there is dirt and dirt on it, and there are many sanitary dead ends, which is also flashy.
Crystal lamp:The decoration I regret the most is the installation of a flashy crystal lamp in the living room. It's no exaggeration to say that it's my nightmare every time I clean up for the New Year. Each lamp bead has to be removed and washed and hung back, which is not practical at all.
Don't choose a home design that doesn't work. After really moving in, you will only care about whether your home has enough storage space, cleaning is convenient or not, in short, do not over-decorate, less unnecessary decoration, more practicality is the safest.
During the renovation process, it is inevitable that the decoration company or workers will deliberately increase the decoration project or additional costs for various reasons. At this time, it is difficult to distinguish as a decoration novice. Examples:
Promise Free Design:Free renovation design is often a marketing gimmick for renovation companies. The so-called free, but to take a template to fool you, and then go to the door to measure the room to charge, and then after the start of construction, will be required to modify or add to the design for various reasons, and charge additional design fees, but also try to let you buy the specified materials, types, brands according to his requirements to collect rebates.
When choosing a decoration company, it is necessary to carefully understand the specific content and scope of the free design, ensure that all decoration needs are listed in as much detail as possible in the design stage, and try to avoid later design changes and additions.
Hydropower Retrofit:Hydropower renovation is the most critical part of decoration. Because it is a covert project, it is also one of the links that are most prone to malicious additions. The three-bedroom house is basically more than 10,000 yuan, and some bad decoration companies will lower the price of ** you, and then charge you additional fees in the form of additional items in the later stage.
At present, most of the hydropower is calculated according to the point, not by the meter, so everyone should be clear about how many switches and sockets are installed, and you can negotiate a fixed price. At the same time, in the process of hydropower transformation, it is necessary to maintain close supervision to ensure that the project is carried out in accordance with the agreed standards and specifications, and if there are problems, communicate and solve them in a timely manner.
The decoration cost is less than 100,000 yuan, so many people can save money in the decoration process. Some small stores often attract consumers with marketing methods such as "clearance processing", "buy one get one free", and "buy expensive package compensation", but they don't know that behind the low price also means low quality. Many times, ** determines the quality, and you get what you pay for. Saving money on low-quality materials is likely to turn your home into a "tofu scum project". Examples:
Inconspicuous angle valve:Seriously, I really didn't care too much about the small angle valve when decorating, and I felt that I had earned it by choosing a random one of about 10 yuan, and I could get 30 yuan for a big brand! As a result, less than half a year after moving in, the angle valve was broken, the hot water pipe was leaking, and someone had to come to repair it, which cost a lot of money, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Broken bridge aluminum doors and windows:Looking at the same window, some small shops **380 yuan per square meter, while brand door and window stores cost 1000 yuan per square meter, presumably many people will choose the former. However, low-quality windows and doors are not only a safety hazard, but can also lead to poor insulation performance, resulting in wasted energy and increased heating and cooling costs.
Wire socket:Cheap wire outlets may not meet national standards, which can lead to aging wires, short circuits or fire risks. Electrical safety is one of the most important aspects of renovation, and choosing low-quality wires and outlets can have a serious impact on the electrical safety of your home.
Many owners lack experience in decoration and can't distinguish the quality of the product, which is normal, but in order to avoid buying inferior decoration materials from the root, we must buy materials in regular channels and choose products produced by regular manufacturers, which can be discounted, but not three no products.
