In the matter of decoration, the gap between ordinary people and bloggers is not a little bit, people can decorate a house a month, and you will step on the pit for a few months. In order to be able to take fewer detours and spend less money in decoration, as ordinary people, we must learn more and learn more about decoration.
Today, I will talk to you about what places can save some money in decoration? Where to spend a lot of money?

Over-engineered money
There is no need to spend
1) Demolition and modification
It is not difficult to demolish and renovate, but in practice, demolition costs, labor costs, garbage removal freight, new walls, door modifications, etc. are not small expenses. There will be a lot of differences in the quotation of different construction parties and regions, ranging from one or two thousand to more than thirty or forty thousand.
If the layout of the house is more reasonable, reducing the demolition and renovation project can definitely save a lot of money.
2) Suspended ceilings
The first decoration is the yearning for the ceiling fan. This thing is not only expensive (200~300 yuan/1㎡), but also has a high layer and dust. So if you want to save money, you can do less or not do it at all. Or use a dozen yuan a meter of gypsum line or double eyelid ceiling to make a circle of edge decoration, it can also be exquisite and diverse.
Necessary places, such as central air conditioning, fresh air or hidden pipelines, can be used as a partial ceiling. The kitchen and bathroom can use aluminum gusset and honeycomb panel.
3) Stone background wall
Whether it is the living room or the bedroom, the background wall is definitely the "most useless" face project, the more complex the shape, the more money is spent, and it is very easy to overturn if you are not careful.
For families with a lot of items, you can consider making a wall full of storage cabinets, although not cheap, but more practical.
If you want to simply create an atmosphere, but don't want to spend too much money, you can consider using gypsum board as a background wall, plus light strips, and thousands of pieces can achieve an atmospheric effect. American French style, you can also use gypsum line to make wire frame modeling on the wall, spend the least money, and produce the same effect.

Money for main and auxiliary materials
Can't be saved
1) Tiles
After reading a lot of feedback, Xiao Qi found that the regret period for buying tiles is generally in: after paving and after moving in. After the whole paving, I found that it was too flowery, the color was dark, and it was not delicate enough...
After moving in, I found that some tiles were not easy to clean, not resistant to dirt, and not slippery; There are also some bricks that are too fragile, and if you are not careful, you will bump a pit or scratch it...
In fact, the selection of tiles is not so complicated, first pick your favorite style, choose more colors, avoid pattern repetition, easy to paste the effect of copy and paste. Secondly, weigh the weight, listen to the sound, and check the flatness. Good quality tiles will be heavier, the sound of percussion is crisp, and the gap between the two tiles is small and the width is consistent.
Don't bother! Take more samples from the store to compare them on the spot to see how resistant the bricks are to stain and scratch and slip. Whether heavy objects will crack and fragile after falling, as well as the color and texture in your own lighting conditions, so that the effect is more realistic.
2) Windows
If the window is not well sealed, it may be a construction problem, or it may be that the quality itself is not good.
For broken bridge aluminum window sealing strips and heat insulation strips, it is best to use EPDM rubber sealing strips or PA66 heat insulation strips. If it is inferior PVC (flammable, it can be identified with a lighter), it will leak when it is deformed and cold shrinkage.
The glass should be tempered glass with 3C certification, the thickness is normally 5mm, and the large area of floor-to-ceiling windows of more than 5 square meters should be more than 8mm. It is best to coat a layer of LOW-E film, which will not affect the indoor light, but also prevent ultraviolet rays and protect the privacy of the room.
Generally, the noise double-layer laminated glass is enough, and it is best to use three-layer laminated glass if you live on low and medium floors, facing the street or near the elevated and railroad tracks. If you focus on warmth, choose double-layer insulating glass, and you can try three-layer hollow in the northern region, which is warmer in winter.
Hardware should also be used well, otherwise after a long time, the window will be stuck and loose, which is a big problem. Ordinary and high-end hardware, a set is more than 2~300 yuan.
3) Glass glue
Glass glue is a sealing product that needs to be used in the installation of baseboards, kitchen sinks, floor drains, toilets, etc. Many people will choose the cheap glue brought by the decoration master, which is harmful to the human body, and it is easy to mold and yellow, forming a sanitary dead end.
It is also recommended to purchase alcohol-type neutral sealant by yourself, look for big brands, and prevent mildew at level 0. Although it will cost a few hundred dollars less, it will make the home hundreds of times more refined.
Different families have different requirements and budgets, although it is impossible to plan each specific expense in detail, but first of all, the money should be spent on areas that are not easy to repair and frequently used, so as to ensure the subsequent decoration and smooth occupancy life.
