Can shop online
Home appliances, lamps, hoods, glass glue, switch sockets, showers. These things can be purchased online, which can save a lot of money, and eating offline is ugly.
Online shopping is not allowed
1. Customized furniture, wardrobes, cabinets
The size requirements of these furniture are very strict. In addition to the measurement of size, it is also necessary to measure the verticality of the wall and the flatness of the ground. Therefore, it is not recommended to buy custom furniture such as wardrobes and cabinets online.
2. Doors and windows
It is not recommended to buy doors and windows online. These require professionals to come to measure the size. If you measure the size yourself, there may be errors, which will affect the progress of the decoration, and it is easy to shirk after returning the product.
3. Putty powder
Buying online, the cost of transportation is actually included in it, and this kind of price is not much different from online to offline. If you go directly to the physical store to buy the price, you will be surprised, and you may be able to bargain.
4. Latex paint
If there is a problem with the color palette purchased online, it is difficult to solve. Remember to check the store authorization number when purchasing offline.
5. Sand cement
It is very difficult to transport things. You have to pay to go upstairs when you deliver them to your home. When you buy sand and cement offline, there are still people who are responsible for transporting and placing them.
Can be saved
1. It is not recommended to make a complicated TV background wall. It is expensive and easy to be outdated. It is not as good as a simple one.
2. Don't make a niche in the bathroom, it's just a storage effect, one needs 1-2K, and it's not easy to clean.
3. It is not necessary to change all the lines for water and electricity renovation and new house decoration, and changes can be made on the basis of the developer. Except for the point-to-point installation in the kitchen and bathroom, there is no need to move the wires horizontally and vertically throughout the house, which can save at least 1/3 of the money.
4. There is no need to buy extravagant tiles. Now the market price is very transparent, and any tiles within the normal range are fine.
5. Don’t ask half-baked people to decorate. If you are embarrassed to say something, it’s better to find someone outside. If you have something to say, it’s cheaper.
6. Try to use latex paint on the wall instead of wallpaper. Latex paint is easy to maintain in the later stage, and the cost is cheaper than wallpaper.
7. If you want to save money, you can buy a cheaper bed and a better mattress.
8. Choose a refrigerator with a first-class energy efficiency. The most important quality of a refrigerator is that it does not consume electricity, and then it is a double cycle.
9. The number of pleats and layers of curtains does not need to be too high, the higher the price, the more expensive it is, it is recommended to go to the wholesale market or online shopping, there are many styles and colors, and the price is still cheap, but it is still necessary to choose blackout curtains.
10. Do not use window sill stones for the bay windows. Tiles are also very effective and save money. If you lay mats later, it doesn’t matter what is under the mats.
can not save
1. The kitchen countertop should be made of quartz stone instead of artificial stone. Although it is cheap, it is easy to crack and bleed.
2. The kitchen cabinets can be more designed, and the drawers are the most convenient and practical. Of course, adding drawers is also expensive, and it still has to be based on your economic ability.
3. The kitchen lighting should be bright enough. It is best to install independent lighting spotlights or lamps in the vegetable cutting area to wash vegetables.
4. It is best to customize the wardrobes at home. Don’t buy finished products. The wardrobe is at the top so that there is no dust, otherwise it will be troublesome to clean later.
5. The height of the cabinet should be set according to the height of the cook, otherwise the back will be sore and painful in the later stage.
6. The bathroom must be waterproofed. It is more appropriate to use coating film for waterproofing. The shower area is 1.8M and the rest is 30 cm. It needs to be brushed twice, once horizontally and once vertically.
7. You must buy protective materials for the entrance door, and wrap them well when the materials enter the site, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to scratch later.
8. Hidden wires and water pipes must be better purchased. You can’t save on this aspect, so there will be no problems in the later stage.
9. For latex paint and cabinet panels at home, you must not try to be cheap, because the use area is the largest, and cheap materials are prone to formaldehyde exceeding the standard, so you must buy good ones.
10. If you can make a shower room at home, you must make a shower room, especially the hidden bathroom, which is separated from wet and dry, and it is very convenient to clean. You don't have to mop the floor every time you take a shower, and you don't have to worry about mold.
