If you decorate a home, the first thing you consider is not the function, it is basically a waste of decoration. Whether you choose simple decoration or luxurious decoration, functions are the first core elements, and everything else should be placed backward.
should consider the future life, rather than the optional style. So, I advise everyone not to put too hard on the decoration! ! !
If you are a family in urgent need, I will summarize a few points. There is no need to invest too much budget in decoration, so that you can save money and not reduce your quality of life.
1. Regarding ceramic tiles
Most home decorations, ceramic tiles are used on the floor. In fact, the quality of ceramic tiles is fine now. No matter how many dozens or hundreds of dollars you are, as long as you are not a professional, it looks similar.
So, don’t be obsessed with first-tier brands. Especially in some tall exhibition halls, every sample brick you look at is polished and waxed, and then added with ambient lighting. It looks beautiful, but it will be the case when it is put into your house.
In addition, don’t blindly pursue big bricks. Especially large-sized bricks such as 750*1.5 meters and 900*1.8 meters, remember that these are all prepared for large flat floors and large villas. The big tiles look good, they are all in the ceramic tiling shop. When you get to your house, you need to type and cut it, and there are small strips and half pieces everywhere. Is there any meaning to a big brick?
If your house is about 100 square meters, just use the regular size of 800 by 800, and the effect of the same color seam will not be bad in the later stage. Moreover, after the laying, you have to put a sofa, coffee table, TV cabinet, dining table, , etc., but there is actually not much space left.
And after you move in for a few months, will you still care about how many bricks you have in your house are by as many as possible? Do you care more about whether the tiles are easy to clean, and whether you have chosen the colors and patterns correctly?
Therefore, it is better to save money on buying high-end ceramic tiles and large tiles, upgrade the customized wardrobe, bed, and mattress in the bedroom in your home and replace it with more environmentally friendly boards. The bedroom is a place to rest and sleep. You cannot afford to pay for health problems.
2. About wall
Many people like to "make big stories" on wall decoration, always thinking that as long as you spend a lot of money, you can improve the quality of the decoration. In fact, it is really not recommended that you not make too complicated shapes, as they are easily outdated and difficult to clean.
For most families, it is simply a latex paint that has the highest cost-effectiveness. For example, it is good to adjust a color you like and then hang a large-sized TV or projector, which is both economical and out of date.
Especially for families with urgent needs, everyone just need to remember one principle: don’t install anything without functions. For example, wallpaper, wall cloth, , wall panel, etc., these materials are expensive and not only have a long construction period, but also have formaldehyde pollution problems.
especially wallpaper, it is not well maintained and it turns out to be tilted in a few years. Moreover, the walls are prone to mold when they are damp. It is also difficult to replace and renovate later. You have to shovel off all the glue, and then reseal the sealing layer and then apply latex paint.
There are also diatom mud that has been "hot" in recent years. It says that it can absorb formaldehyde , but no one tells you that it has to be released after adsorption saturation. It is just a formaldehyde porter. In addition, the construction of diatom mud is also very difficult, and it is necessary to rely on professional construction masters to achieve results. The cost budget of is naturally not low. And if you bump into one piece, it will be very troublesome to repair later.
3. Regarding ceiling
decoration ceiling, its function is to cover beams and equipment. So, remember that the more complex it is, the faster it is. Especially what are the reverse light troughs, suspended hangings, stacked ceilings, etc. These complex ceilings have long construction periods and high cost, but are also difficult to manage and are particularly easy to hide dust.
There is really no need to do ceiling for ordinary residential buildings. Just make a circle of double eyelid gypsum lines that are popular now on the shed. The construction is difficult and the cost is much cheaper. The key is not to affect the height of the floor. It is both simple and pleasing. , not easy to get outdated.
Kitchen and bathroom ceilings, don’t use gypsum board for the sake of beauty and appearance. From the perspective of durability, it is really incomparable to aluminum buckle board . Whether you use moisture-proof gypsum board or water-resistant putty , mold and yellowing will occur over time.
Also, don’t forget that there are water, electricity, smoke exhaust pipes, etc. on the tops of the kitchen and bathroom. If there is really a problem, it is not easy to repair. It is recommended that you use the traditional aluminum buckle ceiling , and choose solid color without patterns, and the effect is not bad. Choose a brand of aluminum buckle plate, which is 300 by 600 specifications, which is only 180 yuan per square meter. It is economical and easy to clean, and it is fortunate to disassemble.
4. Regarding fingerprint lock
Nowadays, most owners will consider replacing a fashionable smart door lock for their own entrance door.
In fact, the key to fingerprint lock is still the lock. The purpose of our installation is to facilitate it, so that we can save the trouble of forgetting to bring the key when going out. Nowadays, many smart locks have really added a lot of fancy functions, and the prices are very high, and they are often thousands of dollars.
However, when the attached functions are larger than the basic functions, you should think about its practicality.
in my opinion. We buy smart locks for convenience. Therefore, it only needs to be able to open the door by satisfying fingerprints, passwords, and swiping cards. Other additional features are not the point.
In principle, fingerprint locks of about 1,000 yuan are enough, and there is no need to pay for those optional additional functions. Moreover, the current fingerprint locks are basically C-level lock cores, so don’t worry about anti-theft safety.
5. About lamps
The lamps at home are used for lighting, and decoration is secondary. So, don’t buy those decorative lights that are complex and expensive. For example, molecular lamps, feather lamps, crystal lamps, European lamps, , these lamps are expensive and difficult to manage.
Maybe you thought it was pretty and beautiful when you first installed it, but basically it became gray in less than three to five months. If it is not clean, it will not only affect the appearance but also the lighting. It is very difficult to clean, and the more complex the shape of the lamp, the higher the chance of damage in the later stage, and it is not durable at all.
If you really have that money, it is better to invest in minimalist lights to upgrade, such as downlights, spotlights, and linear lights. These types of lamps are powerful tools to create a sense of decoration atmosphere.
suggests that you don’t buy cheap lights that cost 10 or 8 yuan. Not only will the lights be dazzling, but it will basically break in less than a year or two. If you want to use it, buy a better one. You can search for the lanterns in Zhongshan, Guangdong on the Internet. If you buy one for a few dozen yuan each, you can basically use it.
6. About electrical appliances
For some home appliances that are urgently needed, don’t buy those that are too complicated. As long as they can meet the needs, it is enough to choose a basic model. In fact, the simpler the functions of the home appliance category, the more durable it is.
For example, the refrigerator uses nothing more than refrigeration and freezing. You have to build an smart refrigerator . Multiple large screens say that you can listen to music, watch videos, and order takeaway. I ask if you can use it normally?
TV, don’t just pursue high-end. If the living room is within 4 meters, it’s enough to buy a basic 75-inch model. Now everyone is used to watching TV shows on their mobile phones, and most families’ TVs are basically decorations in the living room.
might as well buy better showers and toilets for savings, after all, they are things you need to use every day.
and microwave ovens are used to heat up food for most families. Just buy a basic version. Don’t consider other functional menus. Then there is the electric clothes drying rack. The current functions are really higher, the more they are. The prices are very high, but the functions are very useless. If you are not good at Mandarin , you can't control it.
If you have that money, it is better to upgrade the better range hood , so that you won’t suffer when cooking and going to the kitchen. Also, buy a better water heater, and do not be hot and cold when taking a bath.What we should spend is what we should spend, and spend money on the blade.
is written at the end:
Don’t try too hard to decorate. After you move in, you will find that what really affects the quality of life is the shape of functionality, not the appearance. Therefore, on the one hand, you must do what you can. On the other hand, no matter the decoration budget is high or low, you should be rational. Never make some irrational decoration decisions for comparison and show-off, because everything will eventually return to the essence of life, and practicality is the king!
