Unless there is too much money to spend, most people will be "calculated" when decorating.
But I found a problem. Even if I control the decoration budget, I will always find that I wasted money in some "places that shouldn't be spent".
It seems that after I decorated my second house myself, found that these places in my house cost 100,000 yuan more than others. I feel so sorry!
⑴. The room door cost too much
When decorating, many building materials store owners were fooling me. The door of the room at home should be bought with good quality and excellent quality. doesn’t know that the quality is good, which means the price is high.
It seems like when my first house was renovated, it cost 3,500 yuan for one door. Not only did the decoration cost increase, but the sense of use of the room door is just average.
In fact, the bedroom doors, study doors, etc. in the room are generally not exposed to the wind and sun, so there is no need to be too high security performance like the door.
Therefore, when choosing a room door, pay attention to "green and environmentally friendly" and "good and beautiful" . You don't need to buy too expensive ones. Generally, room doors of about 1,000 are enough.
⑵. The TV wall is too fancy and whistle
When decorating, most people should be like me and spend money hard. Especially the design of my TV wall, grille wall + rock slab wall, the decoration effect is really high-end.
Even my relatives and friends came to visit us and applauded. Everyone thought it was beautiful and high-end.
However, the TV wall adds grille + rock slab elements, which makes it look fancy. After moving in for 3 months, I found a very serious problem, that is, the TV wall is prone to dust and dirt accumulation, which is difficult to clean and manage.
Because the grille wall itself is a concave and convex structure, the areas inside are too easy to hide dust. Every time I have to put my fingers in and snatch them bit by bit to wipe off a little dust.
wipe a TV wall, and it’s almost puzzling your life, and the grille TV wall = full of housework.
In the decoration of the TV wall, it is recommended that everyone be simpler, the better, so that it will be convenient for maintenance and will not accumulate dust, and it can also save the budget for decoration.
⑶. Spend money to customize niches
When decorating the bathroom, many workers will recommend taking out a niche on the wall to facilitate storage of some daily toiletries and not occupying space.
When I was renovating for the first time, I didn’t know anything and just spent money to customize the niche.
more materials and labor costs to create bathroom niches, but the feeling of use is really bad. The niches are too easy to accumulate water, and they will become moldy and black if they are not cleaned for a long time.
I feel like I spent a few thousand more dollars, but I am just paying IQ tax.
When decorating the bathroom, there is really no need to spend more money to customize the niches. You can use some shelves, hooks, etc. to hang daily necessities on the wall. Isn’t this more practical?
⑷. When choosing any tiles, you don’t consider the choice of tiles when decorating them. For example, in order to pursue a sense of layering, I believed the workers’ words and chose small-sized tiles.
At first glance, it is indeed more visually layered and high-end.
After decorating the second house, I found that the price of small tiles is not much different from that of large tiles, but the labor cost of tiling is more expensive, and more seam-applied agents are used.
Therefore, the second house directly chose large tiles. To be honest, large tiles are more integrated and more grand.
⑸. The wooden bay window
is installed in the small bay window in the bedroom. It is probably the place that many people like. It is so comfortable to sit on it and drink tea and bask in the sun.
Therefore, when decorating the first house, after listening to the master's advice, my bedroom installed a set of wooden bay windows, which are of high appearance and fresh style.
However, the wooden bay window has not been used for a year, and I found that the bay window at home has been "deformed".
Under the wind and sun, thermal expansion and contraction, the wooden bay window is really easy to quickly air-dry moisture, and causes the bay window to aging and deform.
recommend that you do not choose wood materials even if you want to install bay windows. It is more reliable to directly lay tiles, which can save costs and be more durable.
⑹. I insisted on installing tatami
When the apartment is not large in size, many people should consider installing a tatami for the second bedroom like me, which can not only increase storage space, but also make the second bedroom organized.
But because my home is in the southern area, every time the rainy season comes, the tatami always smells moldy. After opening the tatami under the bed, I was stunned. Not only does it get black and moldy inside
, even clothes, quilts, sheets, , and seasonal clothing are full of moldy smell.
If you are in the southern region and are facing wet weather all year round, it is still not recommended to customize tatami. The decoration cost is expensive, and the key is that the tatami cannot stop mold.
⑺. When installing tatami
kitchen decoration, many workers will ask you to install a set of water barrier on the edge of the kitchen countertop to avoid water leakage and seepage in the later stage.
Therefore, a complete set of water barrier strips were also installed in the countertop of my kitchen.
moved in the new home for 3 months and cooked for 3 months. I found a particularly serious problem.
That is the waterproof area of the kitchen. Not only is penetrated with oil and dirt, but it also becomes moldy and black. The originally beautiful kitchen instantly becomes stretched.
suggests that even if you want to make water barriers for the kitchen, you must have an integrated design. Without using glass glue, it will not be easy to get moldy and black.
If the kitchen, bathroom and other places in your home are already moldy and black, you can also try "Mold Removal Gel". It is really simple and easy to use.
only needs to apply mold removal gel evenly on the moldy area. After 15 minutes, the dark mold spots will automatically disappear. If there are some stubborn mold spots, it is recommended to apply them multiple times or leave them for a longer time, which can easily remove mold and stains.
Like when my home was using it, I found that even if there were moldy areas in the kitchen with oil and dirt, even the oil and dirt were removed after using mold removal gel.
Even because of the back of the rainy season, the walls of my house became moldy. After applying a layer of mold removal gel evenly, the mold spots on the wall disappeared.
If the refrigerator seal strips, washing machine rubber rings and other places are moldy, it can also easily remove mold under the antibacterial factor + mold removal factor of mold removal gel.
⑻. When choosing
for decoration at home, most people will not pay attention to the hardware accessories of the faucet, and most faucets are free styles. After all, the decoration can be saved as much as possible, and the gift faucet can also be used.
But the faucets given are all traditional, and they are really useless and difficult to use. Because the faucet is too short and close to the countertop, it feels very poor in use.
Every time I wash the bowl, my clothes will be soaked, and it is very inconvenient to wash my face and hair.
I believe many people have the same experience as me, washing dishes and washing pots, but their clothes were wet and the kitchen countertops were full of water.
If the same is true for your faucet, it is recommended to replace it with "universal faucet water outlet" , which can perfectly solve this problem.
It is suitable for most faucets. You only need to remove the original faucet water outlet and replace it with this universal faucet water outlet to achieve the "perfect transformation" of the faucet. After installing
, you will find that the faucet at home has become "intelligent". It can rotate 720° and also has its own boosting and bubble function. The faucet at home has instantly become advanced.
The small faucet outlet makes the faucet more humane.
It can be turned up and down, left and right, washing your face, washing your hair, rinsing your mouth, etc., which are very convenient. The key is that the water will not splash everywhere.
only two cups of milk tea cost universal faucet water outlet, but the faucet at home is completely refreshed, comparable to the telescopic faucet of thousands of yuan. It is recommended to prepare one for the kitchen sink and bathroom sink.
A summary at the end of the article:
After decorating the second house, I did some calculations and found that invisibly, the decoration of the home was 100,000 yuan more. Although I am helpless and feel distressed, I hope my decoration experience can bring you some reference and reference.
