Wardrobe, as the standard furniture in the bedroom, and it also plays an indispensable role in home life, so it has also given birth to the development of the home decoration industry. That's why custom wardrobe brands, more and more. The more brands, the more water, and the probability of consumers stepping on the pit to pay IQ tax will naturally increase.
And the people who have renovated it, especially those who have installed too many houses, gradually found out"Custom wardrobes" are becoming less and less popular！As a home blogger, this "change of mentality" towards custom wardrobes is more obvious to me. This point can also be glimpsed from the fact that more and more people have begun to install "wall-built wardrobes" (commonly known as metal frame wardrobes).
In this issue of [Home Improvement Topic], Meijia will talk to youThe popularity and loneliness of "custom wardrobes"., or after reading it, you will find that it has gone from fragrant to falling off the altar, not without reason!
It must be admitted that a custom wardrobe does have many advantages that make it gradually popular and popular. Compared with the early "carpentry cabinet", the advantages of custom wardrobes can be simply summarized as follows:
1. Customized wardrobes have certain aesthetic advantages
Unlike carpenters who work on the spot in the house, custom wardrobes are measured by the designer first, and then the cabinets and style are customized according to the decoration style of the house. Such a design can ensure the unity of the decoration style as much as possible.
In addition, the large manufacturers of custom wardrobes are relatively standardized in terms of cabinet body cutting, edge sealing, hardware, etc., so the appearance of the designed wardrobe has few defects, and the aesthetics are significantly higher than the cabinets made on the carpentry site.
2. The custom wardrobe industry is relatively mature, and the probability of overturning is small
It is undeniable that all the production processes of custom wardrobes are standardized, which also makes the influence of "artificial" smaller. The cabinets made by carpenters and the finished cabinets are directly linked to the experience and level of carpentry.
There are many owners who find carpenters by themselves when decorating, and the resulting cabinets are unsatisfactory (there are fewer and fewer experienced carpenters now). In the era of mechanization and intelligence, CNC machines produce wardrobes and assembly line installation wardrobes, although they are relatively rigid, but the error rate is low.
3. The binding relationship between the custom wardrobe and the decoration company
In addition to the above 2 factors, there is also a subtle relationship between custom wardrobes and renovation companies. Most renovation companies include custom wardrobe projects, or pure custom wardrobe brands, and there will also be cooperative renovation companies.
This "binding" relationship also makes many owners think that they can be more worry-free throughout the renovation cycle.
Of course, it is also inseparable from some so-called discount activities launched after the binding of various merchants, in order to attract owners to choose custom wardrobes.
Prompted by many factors, the advantages of "custom wardrobe" have gradually taken root in the hearts of owners. And this is the main reason why it has become popular and popular.
However, as the public's requirements for exquisite home life are getting higher and higher, more and more people are gradually discovering the shortcomings of custom wardrobes, not a little bit. There are some "hard injuries" that are even more difficult to accept.
As a blogger who has been dealing with home improvement for many years, there's no denying that I'm not optimistic about the future of custom wardrobes. Of course, this is under the premise that manufacturers "do not listen to persuasion". If you can face the following problems and correct them, you may be able to gain a firm foothold in the hearts of the owners.
1. Most of the internal design is unreasonable
The custom wardrobe above, does it look "very reasonable"?
People who have no life experience are probably attracted at once! "There are so many partitions, and they are clearly marked, it looks good"!
However, those who really know how to store know that this kind of custom wardrobe just "looks good", but in fact the practicality is a mess!
In home life, except for a little underwear, the most reasonable way for almost all clothes (tops + pants) is to "hang", not "stack".
This kind of common sense of life, which seems inconspicuous, actually greatly affects the experience of home life. Just look at the picture above, you can see that there are too many people's wardrobes, and this is what ...... look like
The unreasonable interior design is a "common problem" of most custom wardrobes on the market today!
On the other hand, the following kind of "wall-building wardrobe" is more reasonable.
The wall-built wardrobe, which is commonly known as the metal frame wardrobe by many people. To put it bluntly, this kind of wardrobe is a cabinet with a masonry wall as a cabinet, and the internal structure is no longer the kind of shelf of a custom cabinet, but a metal frame that can be moved.
In the early days, this kind of metal frame wardrobe was complained by many people that it looked like a shelf.
However, if you really use it and experience it, you will find that this kind of wardrobe is really too humane!
2. It is easy to hide dirt and dirt (especially the corner cabinet).
It is estimated that many people's wardrobes are what they look like in the picture above, this kind of "corner wardrobe" seems to be very well designed, but it is actually a "little expert" in daily dust.
The open cabinet is easier to store clutter, but it is also easy to fall dust. And when you meet a heroine who doesn't like to tidy up, this kind of corner wardrobe will become a clutter pile in a few months......
In addition, the "sliding door" design in the custom wardrobe is also easy to hide dirt. Due to the very narrow sliding door tracks of this type of wardrobe, this can easily lead to the accumulation of dust. After a long time, it is very difficult to clean.
3. The input cost is high
There is another reason why custom wardrobes are becoming more and more "unpleasant", that is, "input costs".
Whether it is a master bedroom wardrobe or a children's room wardrobe, the custom cabinet brands on the market have prices ranging from a few thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. Taking a set of three-bedroom and one living room with an area of 100 square meters as an example, the custom wardrobe of the mid-end brand will cost tens of thousands of yuan to make the whole house.
And look at the "wall-building wardrobe" that is currently becoming popular, the input cost is only two or three thousand yuan. And the advantages of building a wall wardrobe are not only reflected in the cost, but also in the following two aspects:
The degree of environmental protection is higher than that of custom wardrobes (due to the wall-built wardrobe, basically no board is used, so formaldehyde will not be released at all.) On the other hand, there is basically no brand of pure solid wood on the market, and even if the environmental protection level is the highest ENF level, formaldehyde will be released).
The construction period of the wall-built wardrobe is short (the delivery period of the customized wardrobe is basically not less than 30 days from the measuring tape, design to finalization, production, transportation and installation. Most brands claim 45 days. And the wall-building wardrobe, whether it is a new wall or a metal frame, plus finding workers to install it, the whole cycle is not even used for a week).
Seeing this, many people may think that I am standing for the "wall wardrobe". It is undeniable that the advantages of a wall-built wardrobe are indeed irreplaceable for a custom wardrobe.
Especially for most ordinary householdsLow cost, strong practicality, and high environmental protection, such a wardrobe, naturally, is worth investing in. If you continue to spend money on custom wardrobes, it is really not wise enough.
Why isn't the custom wardrobe "fragrant"?I just want to say one thing: without contrast, there is no harm.
In the name of the tall standard**, continue to harvest the owner's IQ tax, customize the wardrobe, and fade out of countless Chinese families, it is only a matter of time.
