Budget (ten thousand): 8

Decoration method: half package

Decoration style: Jane Europe

Decoration features: the living room background wall is treated with mirror, and the overall style is simple and European. The living room ceiling adopts two-level ceiling, and all the floors are paved with solid wood floors. The bed background of the master bedroom is mainly soft, and the overall color is white, especially the distribution of the two functional areas of the master bedroom balcony, which is comfortable and leisure.

In view of personal professionalism and boring work, I read a lot of decoration posts and talked with many friends about the decoration before I started the decoration. After summing up everyone's opinions, I finally embarked on a long journey of decoration.

Some people say that the decoration is very tired, and some people say that the decoration is simple. I guess this is a matter of different opinions, which is related to one's energy and one's own expectations. Of course, generally speaking, the first house wants to be better and more beautiful, which is human nature. It has been five months since last June 10. Although I haven't started yet, I've done a lot of work: inspecting decoration companies, determining decoration companies, making renderings and making budgets. Recently, I spend half a day visiting the building materials market every weekend to understand the market and plan the future.

Today, let's talk about the situation of closing the house and inspecting the house at that time. On a cross weekend, I went to check the house. I got the key, and the engineering department accompanied me to inspect the house. In fact, the process of house inspection is very simple, and the owners have probably experienced it, so I won't say much here.

Before the house inspection day, I applied for a free house inspection service for decoration online, which may also lay the foundation for us to finally choose them. However, there is a saying that they didn't see anything in the house inspection, mainly measuring the size. Maybe my home is better, haha. After a round of house inspection procedures. Found several hidden dangers.

There are some problems with this house:

The entrance door has been damaged (the service of the company that entered the door later was good, and the necessary replacement and maintenance were carried out soon, and now it has been basically solved, which is a compliment)

2. The two "shutters" of the air-conditioning rack in Nanyang Station are installed askew, and I wonder if it will affect the installation of air-conditioning units in my home. I have reported this matter to the property maintenance, but it seems that it is still pending. I found that the blinds of many people around me were also crooked. I hope the property can be done as well as possible. )

3. glass sliding door in Nanyang Hua Ting is a bit stuck, especially after the left half door is opened to the end. It is estimated that the guide rail or corner is not handled well here.

4. Basically, all the windows are too tight, and it takes a lot of effort to completely close the handle when closing the window. This is obviously mishandled.

Speaking of these hidden dangers, I'm actually a little angry. I should have given up the house. What time is it now? It's been five months, and it took 1 month to repair the entrance door, but the glass door and window company has made a little mess. I'm fair to say here that the property industry is not complete enough, but they are also staring at the other company, I admit it. I also met the manager of the other company once, and repeatedly XXOO with the people in the property engineering department on the blackboard, which one has not been repaired, and so on. Perhaps it can only be said that the following coolies are not serious. Anyway, my sliding door and some windows of Nanyang terrace have not been repaired yet. Every time I promise, I always say it's fixed. I'll check it out. It's still the same. This patience was thus erased.

After reading my diary, many people may think that I think too much and the decoration is not so complicated. This question is actually a matter of opinion, you can spend less energy, but you should know that this thing is the same as a price, and you spend a lot of energy to get a return or result. Of course, the premise is that you have patience and time. I got to know the decoration company from June 5438 to last year 10. I decided at the end of February and went on a five-month field trip at the weekend. I usually communicate with customer service staff online and then read the posts myself. Through a series of comparison and analysis, the final conclusion is drawn. I really don't necessarily say that choice is the best, and I may not be able to meet your satisfaction in the end, but without such a process, I have no bottom in my heart. Who let me be a lawyer? I like analysis, and I like to draw conclusions through data and comparison. In fact, now that I think about it, five months is not much time, and there is plenty of time. Generally speaking, the choice of the decoration company is over, and it's settled. I am writing these contents now, which is not the reason why the company advertises. What I said is just my own feelings, not targeted, just a suggestion for everyone. Specific choice, it is recommended that TX consider according to its own situation.

Forget it, above, the original structure of our home.

It's really worrying to look at such a primitive structure! ! However, after ingenious design, the final design draft is more in line with the actual living conditions of our family.

Next is the final design.

Change two points;

First, our two children, boys and girls, need two separate bedrooms, which realizes the separation of the master bedroom and the two children's rooms, mainly because the son is still relatively young, and parents can live in the children's room to temporarily replace the children.

Secondly, the master bedroom in the present house is not generally comfortable, especially the use of tatami on the terrace and the production of soft bags at the bedside are quite excellent. Next, you can see it in the renderings I uploaded.

I went to the decoration company yesterday, mainly to touch the renderings. After a few days, I finally got the desired renderings. I'm really happy to think of it, and I can't wait to get the renderings right away.

Since the floor has been bought, let's talk about the floor today. People of the older generation think that solid wood flooring is good;

First, the feet feel good. Finally, there is a wooden keel below. Physically speaking, the dispersion of force will also make you comfortable.

Second, the quality is high, one is solid wood in the end, and it is really all wood;

Third, the relative service life is long, and it is no problem to exceed 10 years.

But having said so much about the benefits of solid wood flooring, I also need to talk about the shortcomings in my eyes:

First, it is well known that the cost is high. Generally, even if you participate in activities, the solid wood floor is at least 250-300 square meters, and the composite floor is really good 150-200.

Secondly, the wood grain color of solid wood is actually not as good as that of composite floor. Now many composite floors, especially imported composite floors, have pure imported veneers, which are really nice. If you want to use composite floors, you really should go and see them more. Such as Rhine sunshine, Edgar, Russen. These three brands are all good.

Third, it is quite troublesome to take care of it. I guess people my age don't have much energy or mind to take care of it. The composite floor will be OK as soon as it is dragged. Solid wood flooring is not only time-consuming to take care of, but also a little bad, that is, it is easy for you to accidentally drop something and make a concave hole.

Considering all kinds of factors, as well as my hobbies, laziness, cost factors and so on, I decided to choose the composite floor. Since you have chosen a composite floor, you must choose a better one. First, I did some homework online, listened to the opinions of friends around me, and visited some brands on the spot. I feel that we should pay attention to the following points when buying composite floors:

1, your psychological price. That's all that matters. Everything you buy is within your power. There are many great things, but they are too expensive, ranging from 400 to 500. Solid wood composite is not interesting. I don't feel anything. At present, the domestic composite flooring is generally between 80- 130, and the more affordable ones are Rhine Sunshine and Fillinger, both of which are good. The advantage is that it is cheap and the quality is ok. The disadvantage is that they are all standard boards, which are not suitable for people who like wide boards. The surface veneers are all made in China, which is a bit fake. The price of common imported composite flooring is between 140-230. I suggest you go to see the house more often. It's still quite affordable after the discount. Generally speaking, I think I can find something I like at 150- 180.

2. Environmental protection index. Now the general composite floors are E0 and E 1 environmental protection. As we all know, the composite floor is made of a lot of glue by hot rolling or cold rolling. If there is more glue, the natural poison will be greater, and this poison will not dissipate in a short time. My friend told me that it will take 2-3 years to completely dissipate this poison. Of course, we don't comment on whether this is true or not, but the environmental protection of composite flooring is indeed a little worse than that of solid wood flooring. Therefore, the higher the level of environmental protection, the less harm to the human body. Generally, there is a little brand of floor E 1. No problem, E0 can reach a better brand. Personal suggestion E0. After my investigation, I found E0 is good, and it is cold-rolled, the most environmentally friendly, but the price is a bit expensive, and there is no style I like. Rhine sunshine is good, and it is also E 1. It often engages in activities and has many styles.

I. Budgetary issues

Regarding the budget problem, many friends discussed with me before starting work, and I have always been confident that this problem can be solved. To be rational, how much money to do, adhering to this concept, before preparing for decoration, we made a relatively adequate budget. I think I have made a detailed budget, and the amount I intend to invest is not small. However, after visiting some building materials markets and experiencing some different products, I found that the original budget could not continue to operate.

At this time, you have two choices: first, increase the budget. How much the budget increases depends on your own strength and expectations; Second, reduce the number of projects or reduce the budget standards of related projects. Either way, it is a very painful thing. If you don't care about the budget, there will be no first choice, so the first choice is judged as pain; When you feel good and are asked to buy something that is almost bad, you will definitely feel uncomfortable, so the second option is also judged as pain.

Now I also summarize how this kind of pain is produced:

1, the budget is incomplete. When I budgeted some projects, I didn't consider the objective situation, didn't consider my actual needs, and accidentally missed some small projects, so the above situation appeared in the end.

2. Balance imbalance. Although there is no money, people's desires are endless. After seeing Jin Keer's mattress, I don't like the mattress in Sleeping Castle. When I saw Sophia's cupboard, I saw many fascinating things. After watching Panasonic's plasma, I won't consider domestic brands of TV. With the soaring desire, it is getting farther and farther away from the original plan.

In a word, the budget problems are all of our own making. I thought very well at first, but I didn't expect it to be the present situation in the end. Although I thought it would exceed the budget, I didn't expect it to be exceeded all the time. Actually, I've been going to group buying, trying to save money. However, it saves a small head, but with the increase in purchases, it costs a lot. There are more and more projects and bigger budgets, which really makes people feel insecure.

Therefore, I hope that there will be friends who decorate later, please pay attention. Try to avoid the above problems. The budget will definitely exceed, but you must show courage at the critical moment. My personal opinion is to make a full budget, read more introductions from others and listen to the opinions of friends, and the budget overrun must be set at a certain proportion (my personal suggestion is 10%- 15%). Only in this way can we be prepared.

Second, the choice of materials.

The choice of materials is actually related to the budget. What I'm talking about here is the selection of materials in general.

1, main material selection. Now more and more friends are using semi-package decoration, and many main materials are basically purchased by themselves. Including: floor, floor tiles, wall tiles, cabinets, toilets, showers, bathroom equipment, etc. My personal experience and opinion is that we must choose big brands, and the service and quality of big brands can be guaranteed as a whole. Before buying, you can surf the internet more, read other people's comments and listen to the opinions of friends who have already renovated around you. If conditions permit, go to the market more and feel for yourself, and the results of many things will come out. Our slogan is: no comparison, no data, no right to speak. Hehe, mainly the materials and styles, and everyone's preferences are different [s20 18].

Don't be afraid of trouble, it is really the place you want to live in the future. Make it better, more beautiful and better, and you will never regret it. Participate in more group buying activities, and there will often be some casual new discoveries.

2. Selection of auxiliary materials. Generally, half-package decoration, auxiliary materials are packaged for the decoration company to operate. Better decoration companies offer higher prices. Although there are factors such as popularity and management service quality, they often choose better accessories. These things look nothing, but over time, you will feel different. Many small companies, by working hard on auxiliary materials and lowering their quotations, suffer from their own business. We won't do many large-scale decoration works in our life. We should earn a little for others, so that the society can be balanced and everyone can be happy. So, don't be stingy with the expenses of these things. Sometimes the decoration company's auxiliary materials are not used well enough, so I have to make my own demands and be responsible for myself. This is absolutely necessary.

3. The choice of late decoration materials. Including home appliances, furniture, soft clothes and so on. There is nothing to say about this, mainly based on economic strength. My point is that sometimes, you don't have to buy everything at once, you can do it step by step, which can also reduce your financial pressure. But, but, once you buy it, you must buy something you like. Don't buy cheap imitations to save money. I must be annoyed to meet a person with psychological cleanliness disorder, haha.

Third, the later plan.

After the construction starts, even if you find a better decoration company, I personally suggest that you come and see more yourself if your energy permits. Decoration companies are supervised by project managers and account managers, and there are many measures. However, this is not their house or home, and I don't think the professional quality of the workers is that high, so I'd better come here a few times more. On the one hand, I'll see if there is anything inconsistent with the design during the construction, or if there is anything that is not in place. Many friends who have renovated have reminded me that the above situation will inevitably occur during renovation. You find it still too late to adjust. If you come once a week, when you find out, it's not just a matter of cost adjustment. When the time comes, you can only compromise and make yourself unwilling. Why bother? On the other hand, it is also a gesture to the workers. You are a very serious person, others will naturally be more serious.

If you really don't have time and energy, find someone who has time and energy. For example, your relatives, of course, should know a little. Really can't. Looking for a supervision company. It won't cost much. It is worthwhile to spend a little money to buy relaxation and reduce troubles.
