How to decorate a self-occupied house is the most economical?

First of all, I want to say that my home decoration model is an independent designer? Self-installed, because it's my first time to decorate, and it's also the first time, self-installed because I'm too poor to help.

Let me talk about my personal experience.

First, don't look for a decoration company.

The reason for not looking for a decoration company is simple, that is, to save 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. If the decoration company is a contractor, it will generally be more expensive, and there is a lot of water in it. After all, everyone wants to make a profit.

Self-decoration: You can control the expenses of all aspects of decoration by yourself, without fear of being pitted. Self-installation can often save a lot of money, and conservative estimates can save 20%-30%.

So I want to save money, decisively install it myself, and don't give the decoration company middlemen the opportunity to earn the difference.

For example, in my home, I found more than a dozen decoration companies for more than three months, and the price of half package was in the range of 7- 12w, but I finally chose to install it myself. Now the hard package has been successfully off the assembly line.

As shown above, on the left is the half-package quotation of one of the decoration companies? 85789, on the right is the cost of my own installation on the same project? 49723.67。

What's the difference in cost between the two? 36065.33, I really don't know without comparison. By contrast, I was shocked that I actually saved 3.6w.

Second, look for designers online.

If, like me, it is the first time for you to install it yourself and you don't know anything about decoration, my suggestion is that you'd better find an independent designer to have a look. Many people say that finding a designer is a waste of money, and we can install it by finding a case online, but in fact, many times we can't make our imagination perfect, and it's easy to pretend to be "four unlike". We can find a favorite case online to compare clothes. However, many specific sizes need to be checked by professionals with decoration experience (for example, how to make the height of sideboard the most suitable, what size ceiling will be more beautiful, how to make the layout of kitchen the most reasonable, and so on). ).

When I say designer, I don't just draw design drawings and renderings. In addition to helping you solve design problems, construction process, construction project list and various quantities, I will also give you a detailed budget table of main materials, equipment, furniture and household appliances. They won't give you construction or purchase, and the cost is the most reasonable.

In the design process, you should take good care of all the equipment, electrical appliances, furniture and soft clothes you want. You don't have to buy it first, but you must look at the model first, so that the designer can mark all the dimensions on the drawings, which is more convenient for later construction.

It doesn't matter if there is no renderings. It is important that you know how to lay out your water and electricity points, how to buy your furniture size, how to make your ceiling, and so on. Get a full set of construction drawings, and you won't be led by workers like headless flies when decorating.

After the design and overall planning are completed, you will know exactly how much you should spend on something. You must plan unswervingly according to your own budget, so as not to be more expensive.

Third, how can we find a reliable designer?

1, if you choose a reputable decoration company, you can ask the decoration designer whether to accept the private bill, which will be cost-effective! Large companies are generally experienced in design and will not make big mistakes.

2. Looking online, there are many independent designers in Little Sweet Potato and Tik Tok. You can choose a style that is close to your expected effect, because every designer has his own style.

3, through acquaintances: through the introduction of decoration workers or acquaintances, this advantage is that you have a certain understanding of the designer's personality, but it is arbitrary and the choice is not wide enough.

After finding the designer, let him send his own decoration case first. Is it your favorite style? If you all like it, you probably won't turn over in the future. Ask what services are included. A floor plan is necessary. Besides the floor plan, are there any renderings and cabinet drawings? The most important thing is whether the later construction is managed, whether to go to the site for disclosure at each stage, whether to accompany the purchase of main materials and so on.

You'd better spend more money to find a designer who can help you supervise your work and let him communicate with the workers. Save yourself trouble, save money and time.

The quotation for pure design of decoration in Tianjin is normally 80- 180/ flat, so you need to choose the right designer according to your own budget.

Fourth, start looking for workers to decorate.

Go to the market and pay the deposit for balcony, door, brick, bathroom and so on according to your standard. Then pull the merchants and workers in the later construction. You don't know them. Many times they meet in groups.

1, go to the building materials market to find water and electricity. Rifeng, Wei Xing and Poly, the specialty stores of these big brands, many of which have supporting water and electricity services, can provide them with materials by contract, and they can help you get them.

2, waterproof, you can find Yuhong and Gaode's specialty stores and let them contract 40 or 5 1 square meter.

Floor heating is also rifeng, Wei Xing and Baoli, which are all about 80 square meters.

4. Carpenters look for Dragon Brand and Taishan's exclusive store. They are also a company that can get all the woodworking materials and send them to the construction site for them to introduce you to woodworking. Look at the wood on the spot and talk about the price on the spot. At that time, my material was 795, and the labor cost was 1 130.

5. The tile trade union asked the merchants who bought bricks to introduce you, and specified that it was more reliable than what you were looking for, 50 square meters and 30 accessories.

6, the United States sells the most sewing online, and then do it yourself. This is particularly simple. Online tutorials, doing homework in advance, can be done in a day and a half, which is a bit laborious.

7. Oil workers look for specialty stores in Nippon and Dulux, and now most of them also provide supporting services. On our side, Nippon directly matches their own putty; Dulux and Meichao's putty have good quality. All the materials of the oil workers are also complete, and the workers also ask them to introduce you. The workers they are familiar with will definitely not glue the products. I quoted the Dulux used at that time, 26 square meters.

8. Finally, the cleaning, installation and customization of finished products, doors, furniture and appliances, ventilation, etc.

The price mentioned above is just a reference. You can ask the worker's phone number at any place where you buy materials and ask the salary yourself. Every place is different. In fact, as long as the decoration is well planned and coordinated, it is as simple as that.
