, I chose to "dress up poorly" due to insufficient budget. Now, after moving in for five months, I suddenly realized that some of the decisions to wear poorly seemed to be right. , and after moving into my new home, I gradually discovered that there is no standard unified answer to decoration. Only by moving in can I verify which decoration designs are practical and which are not practical.
Take my home decoration as an example. As a clever need, I have very little funds left to decorate after buying the house, so I have to consider wearing a poor decoration. at that time thought that if you had money, you would definitely be "pretty". But after a long time, I suddenly figured it out. Some decoration links, "poor decoration" is more practical.
decorating a house is just for "practical and convenient" ? Next, I will share my 4 decisions about and . I hope it can bring you some reference.
[1] Abandoning "whole house ceiling"
Remember when decorating, the designer did some calculations for me. If I want "whole house ceiling", the cost of plasterboard, light steel keel , wooden keel , artificial... The sum of the cost is basically tens of thousands. "Isn't it good to have the money to buy some good furniture?" This is my truest idea at the beginning.
abandoned the whole house ceiling, and replaced it with "paper-shaped ceiling" (living room) and "double eyelid ceiling" (bedroom) .
Now that I have been living in for a few months, I feel more and more happy with such a simple ceiling.
Advantages of paper-shaped ceiling and double eyelid ceiling:
1. Low cost and short construction period;
2. Very simple and beautiful, does not compress the high layer, and is not easy to get out of date;
3. It is easier to dismantle and modify later, saving time and trouble.
[Two] Choose "ordinary tiles"
If you have been to the building materials market, you will know how many types of tiles are, polished tiles, porcelain tiles , whole-body tiles , rock slab , microcement tiles, microcrystalline stone tiles ... According to the specifications and sizes, it can be divided into 800×800, 600×1200, 7500×1500 and small brick series 300×600, 300×300, 150×150...
So many tiles have uneven prices. From 30 to 40 yuan to 300 yuan. When my home was decorating, my choice of ceramic tiles was ordinary glazed tiles , which cost 50 or 60 yuan per piece.
Ordinary glazed tiles are not as advanced as internet celebrity tiles such as whole tiles and rock slabs, but to be honest, after the glazed tiles in my home are laid, especially after the perfect seam, their appearance is also very eye-catching. Even the neighbors were surprised to see it, thinking that the ceramic tiles cost 100 or 200 yuan.
After I finished working, I gradually found that there is no need to invest too much in building materials such as ceramic tiles. is laid on the ground, and its service life is 10 or 20 years, and it is not much different from high-end ceramic tiles. In fact, the reason why many first-tier brands of ceramic tiles are expensive is that is a considerable part of the brand premium .
In addition, for many people who need it, I advise everyone that if the indoor area of is less than 100㎡, there is really no need to choose 750×1500 tiles .
【Three】Abandon the sliding door on the balcony
Although the cost of installing an balcony sliding door is not too high, I finally decided to give it up. Because my house has only been eighty or ninety square meters after it is removed from the common stall, the living room is not large. At this time, I considered it comprehensively. found that the reason why many people do not install sliding doors is that by opening up the living room and the balcony, it can get more visual space .
After abandoning the balcony sliding door, part of the balcony space can actually be counted into the living room. is not only visually more open, but also greatly improves the lighting and ventilation of the living room.
This also made me less and less regret my original decision after moving in. Without the barrier of , the balcony can even be built into a fitness area, reading area and office area .
However, one thing to note is that there is no sliding door, and when drying clothes, it will directly catch your eye (sliding doors can "cover up" the balcony) . Of course, this problem can also be solved. Arranged with an independent dryer, , can greatly shorten the time for drying clothes, so it will not have much impact on the beauty of the room.
By the way, if the budget is sufficient, it is recommended to upgrade the balcony window to system window . This will improve sound insulation and thermal insulation a lot. The living room will not be affected by abandoning the balcony sliding door (in fact, a heartbreaking fact is that even if the balcony sliding door is installed, many people will not close it at will, but will remain open for a long time. So from this perspective, the balcony sliding door is also a bit redundant) .
【Four】Choose vertical air conditioners and wall-mounted air conditioners
Three bedrooms and one living room house, the house is less than 100㎡. If it were you, how would you choose an air conditioner? Perhaps many people will directly consider installing "central air conditioner" or duct machine (considering the beauty and not taking up space) .
But my answer is "Living room vertical air conditioner + bedroom wall-mounted air conditioner" . The reason for setting the plan like this is very simple! Limited budget! Of course, after a summer, I suddenly realized that the "poor costume" was right. The vertical air conditioner of
2 is used in a 30㎡ living room and can fully meet the needs of use. Moreover, such vertical air conditioners also have great advantages in price. The price of 5,000 or 6,000 yuan is a very good investment for a family like me who is in need.
The bedroom area is smaller, so the wall-mounted air conditioner is 1 horse or even 1 horse. The whole house is less than 1.50. If you change to a central air conditioner with "one to three", you can't get the price. What’s more important is that the cost of installing a central air conditioner is more than that! "Suspension Ceiling" is a must-have . Whether it is a simple back-shaped ceiling or a whole-house ceiling, it is undeniable that this is another considerable expense.
And after a long time, you will find that central air conditioners are not only costly, but also have troublesome maintenance. recognizes the beauty and cooling efficiency of central air conditioners, but one thing to know is that vertical air conditioners and wall-mounted air conditioners can already meet the needs of cooling and heating . From the perspective of cost-effectiveness, there is no doubt that the latter is the best solution.
Of course, if is four bedrooms and one living room, or the interior area is > 100 square meters, it is not cost-effective to choose vertical air conditioners and wall-mounted air conditioners. In short, for small apartments and residential buildings with urgent needs, decisions should be made based on actual conditions.
Finally, I correct the "bias" of many people against vertical air conditioners. Many people do not install vertical air conditioners, thinking that they "occupies space". In fact, vertical air conditioners are generally placed at the mercedes in the southeast corner or southwest corner of the living room (the place where the developer reserves the 16A socket ), and is placed in this "corner" place, which really cannot "occupies space" .
, and the vertical air conditioner will not affect the aesthetics of the entire living room. So don’t say that vertical air conditioners take up space, this is not a disadvantage at all.
——THE END——
Beauty Guide says:
In fact, there are many places where my family is "poor".
For example, the countertop of the kitchen is not equipped with "stone slabs", but the quartz stone selected; the wall is not made of diatom mud , but the latex paint is painted; the TV is not imported, but the domestic one is selected for three to four thousand yuan...
After a long time, you will know that the house is used to live in after all, is comfortable, livable, and meet the needs of life. These are the "principles" that guide us in decoration .
