Hello, everyone [send heart]~ I am Xiaowei. I think everyone hopes to spend as little as possible when decorating, but I don’t know where to start! Today, Xiaowei summarized six tips for saving money in decoration , which are all the experience of decorating in the past few years. Be sure to read the collection before decorating~~~
If you want to save money on decoration, it can be roughly divided into "Can save" and "Can't save" two parts!
First of all, the concealed engineering of the hard-installed part cannot be saved! Why?
Because the [Hidden Project] project is equivalent to laying the foundation, only the foundation can be guaranteed to have a longer service life, otherwise even the basic safe use cannot be guaranteed.
In addition, after the concealed project is completed, it will be covered by the next project. If there are any problems in the later period, it will be quite troublesome to repair or renovate, such as floor leaks, pipe bursts, and three Trips at both ends of the sky, etc., the maintenance of these projects requires a lot of energy and expense.
Therefore, Xiaowei recommends that you buy the best within your budget for the waterproof construction, water and electricity pipeline routing, floor drains, faucets, and various hardware accessories in the hard installation project. No money can be saved.
So what are the "saving" parts of ? Let's take a look next.
save money with lamps
- in soft installation,All kinds of headlights and small lights also cost a lot of money. At this stage, it is recommended that you try not to use embedded lamps for , such as downlight and spotlight;
- if you choose If chandelier is arranged, it is recommended to abandon the installation of the ceiling, try to keep the original height of , the overall is more transparent, and can also save the next ceiling cost;
- House size restrictions, the floor height is not high , you can install track light (non-recessed track light) , which saves money and looks good.
Floor saving money
From the price point of view, floor tiles are relatively cheap, but they are not very comfortable to step on. From the comfort point of view, solid wood flooring is the most comfortable, but expensive; If you use laminate flooring instead, it is not healthy and environmentally friendly... Therefore, Xiaowei suggests that you can choose solid wood composite flooring or stone plastic flooring .
Before purchasing materials,You can go to offline physical floor specialty stores. Some stores encounter "tail goods" ('s unsold solid wood flooring , because the quantity is relatively small, the discount is greater), the discount will be even greater .
Cabinet saves money
When customizing large and small cabinets in the home, , especially the wardrobe , is recommended not to be too detailed. You can use to keep one or two drawer cabinets and other partitions. Keep the height higher, and then you can put it into a neat row of storage boxes , and use the upper space of the partition cabinet. The space utilization rate of increases, and the storage space becomes larger ~ (the saved board is also A lot of money!)
Choose a house to save money
Sometimes, due to a limited budget, we will hesitate between two different houses. has a good house but expensive, and the other The price is cheap but the apartment type is not good. Finally, in order to save money, I chose the one with the bad apartment type. But what needs to be noted here is that we have missed an account-'s weird house layout will also cost a lot of money to renovate .
You must know that whether smashes a wall or builds a wall, it is a place to "swallow gold" , a big change, the decoration will cost a lot of money than others! In the middle, there will be additional costs such as wall smashing fee, slag cleaning freight, and wall building fee . If involves the door , may rebuild the doorway. The doorway involves lintels, threshold stones, and new walls. At that time, it will be replastered, plaster bottom layer, putty, etc. are also indispensable.
Key points: Choose the apartment type when buying a house ! Avoid house damage, otherwise it will cost a lot of money to decorate (it is better to spend this money on buying the house from the beginning!)
range hood saves money
kitchen range hood is not required Buy the European-style , the European-style range hood is the production standard of European and American countries. The cooking methods in European and American countries are different from ours, and there is less oil fume, so the smoking effect of European-style range hoods is relatively poor. The range hood doesn't need to buy a big brand, the big brands have smashed a lot of advertisements, and the price premium is higher. It is enough to choose the mid-range, and there are all!
Save money with tiles
When installing the cabinet, is the that first installs the tiles and then installs the cabinets, so when the cabinets are installed, the previously pasted tiles will be blocked. Therefore, in the blocked area, there is no need to paste good bricks. can be replaced with some miscellaneous bricks, and the exposed parts use normal bricks .
ps: Be sure to calculate the size when you paste it. Don't find that the miscellaneous bricks are not completely blocked when the cabinet is installed, then the gain is not worth the loss.
The circle is the miscellaneous bricks
Don’t underestimate these small tiles. If your kitchen bricks are more expensive and the cabinets are more expensive, plus wall cabinets area,Replacing normal bricks with miscellaneous bricks can also save a lot of money!
bricks are actually very good to buy, go to the local tile shop, there will be a few pieces of the remaining bricks, most of the quality is very good, but the design is old, or the quantity is too small, generally no one buys , So the boss will sell it to you at a very, very cheap price, and he will understand it when you talk about it.
