As we all know, it is not easy for ordinary families to buy a house. After having a house, we have to be busy decorating, and the cost of this aspect is often more than 100,000 or 200,000 or even higher, and there are too many details that need to be paid attention to. Today, let's take stock of the pitfalls that novices are easy to step on, don't wait until you pay the "IQ tax" to understand that you have been fooled.
Many people will feel that the more expensive the home appliances are for the first time, the better, and the longer they can use them if they invest a lot to buy a better one. In fact, it really doesn't have to be expensive, the more durable the home appliance.
Some household appliances have many functions and complex components, but they are prone to failure, and many functions are just a "gimmick", so the overall cost performance is not high, and the maintenance cost is particularly expensive. For example: smart toilets with voice functions, smart refrigerators with large screens, etc., these additional functions are actually useless, and they are rarely used when you buy them home.
In addition, there are some household appliances that are not complicated in structure, and there is no technical content, but due to brand premium and other reasons, ** is very expensive, such as range hoods, water purifiers, etc., it is appropriate to choose ordinary models of big brands, there is no need to choose high-end models, they are all IQ taxes.
Tiles also don't have to be expensive. As far as China's ceramic tile technology is concerned, whether you buy a tile for hundreds of dollars or a tile for dozens of dollars, it is equally durable. The main difference between expensive and cheap is the difference between the color and size. The color of the ceramic tiles of the first-line brands is unique, but the cheap tiles of ordinary second- and third-tier brands will not be bad, which can basically meet the needs of most owners.
Imagine that in the north you need to lay floor heating in the house, the amount of tiles is so large, if you have to choose expensive tiles, then the total decoration cost budget will be much higher. Since the quality and use effect are not much different from cheap tiles, I really advise not to spend this unjust money.
Many people are afraid that the paint will cause decoration pollution, so they have to choose imported latex paint, thinking that only imported latex paint is high-end. But in fact, even if it is the cheapest model among the big brands, as long as it is not a fake, it is also qualified in terms of environmental protection.
Some latex paint has a lot of "gimmicks", what bamboo charcoal, anti-formaldehyde, zero VOC, art paint, so that the quality of latex paint has improved a lot, but when you really wait until the wall, you will find that the effect is not much worse than ordinary latex paint, and even imported products are the same, and even the so-called "imported latex paint" is just a "pseudo foreign goods" produced by small domestic workshops.
Comparatively speaking, the construction level of the workers is more important. In short, the domestic big brand latex paint, regardless of the quality or environmental protection level, is completely sufficient.
The hardware accessories commonly used at home must be of good quality, and do not buy "bargains". In order to save money, many owners buy cheap hardware accessories online, and it will not take half a year after the installation is done, either bad here or bad there. The pull-out faucet can't be pulled back, the cabinet door switch creaks, and all kinds of big and small problems emerge one after another, making people tired.
I advise all owners not to underestimate these humble accessories, it is the key to determining quality. It's best to place an order in a brand's physical store, after all, you can feel how good or bad it is by the feeling and the amount of the touch. Buy the most expensive one as much as you can afford in your wallet.
Before the decoration, I thought that the open cabinet was fashionable and good-looking, and it would be very convenient every time I wanted to take something, no need to open and close the cabinet door, and it could also save the cost of the cabinet door. But after I actually moved in, I found that the open cabinet at home was purely asking for trouble for myself.
Not to mention that open spaces tend to accumulate dust, and when the compartments are stuffed with placed things, they will look disorganized. But if there is too little, it looks cold, and if there is too much, it is messy, which makes people extremely depressed, and if you know it, you won't save this money.
Curtains belong to fabric, and there is no need to buy so-called "brand goods". Basically, all the fabric of the curtain shop is taken from the Keqiao curtain cloth wholesale city in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and before choosing the curtains, you only need to understand the material of the curtains according to your own needs. At present, these four materials are the most used on the market, polyester, cotton and linen, chenille, flannel, relatively speaking, polyester is economical, chenille, flannel is slightly more expensive, and cotton and linen are easy to shrink. Pay attention to the scene and shading level used.
It is also worth noting that although the curtain fabric itself is not expensive, it is not cheap to install curtains and various accessories and accessories. If you don't understand these additional costs before placing an order, it is easy to be cheated by the merchant.
Many people like to decorate dark floors and floor tiles at home, thinking that dark colors are resistant to dirt. But after it was really installed, I found that the dark floor was not only easy to show dust and lint, but even sometimes the shoes had watermarks, and stepping on the floor was a shoe print. All in all, it's not dirty at all, and it seems to be depressed at home.
This is a common knowledge misunderstanding of many people, in fact, if you think about a black car, is it easier to get dirty than white? Actually, it's the same thing. When decorating flooring, it is more suitable to choose light-colored tiles or floors, which not only appear brighter in the space, but also more resistant to dirt.
The above is all the home knowledge shared today, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Follow me to learn more about practical household dry goods
