Moving to a new home is a big event, but decorating can’t be done impulsively. Before decorating, it is important not to rush, to set aside a period of time to consider the design of the house and the choice of decorative materials, but also to spend time to choose a qualified decorator. Once and some decorators in contact with the summation of the four steps before the renovation, today to share out.

The first step is to make a good budget

Speaking of decoration, what is the first thing you think of? Is not to spend money? Most people set aside money for renovation when they buy a house. There are so many things to spend money on during the renovation process, so everyone wants to minimize waste and avoid getting ripped off.

I know a couple who are very serious about their renovation. Before they started, they went online to learn more about the details of each renovation process and shopped around the home improvement market, comparing the quotes for different materials or processes, and then making a rough budget assessment based on the results of their visit. For example, they decided to lay solid wood flooring, they began to compare each brand of solid wood flooring, including price, material, color, etc., and finally came up with a budget for the floor will cost fifteen thousand dollars. This way, when bargaining with the decoration company, they will have a good idea, not to spend too much money for no reason. This is also a way to prevent being cheated by bad businessmen.

The second step is to identify the functional design requirements of the room you expect

Each person’s interests and temperament are different, and the ideal decoration effect is also different. Some people like the classical European style, some people like the Korean drama inside the small flower garden style, and some people like the streamlined modern style, so it is recommended that before you start to decorate, be sure to figure out what you really want in the home style, and most importantly, to combine the needs of the family to the functional design of the living room.

My friend suffered a loss in this regard. She originally liked the Chinese style, the design of the color solemn, angular solid wood furniture, decoration to half, she found the problem: the child is still small, running around bumping, if you touch the furniture is easy to danger, no way, she temporarily transformed one of the rooms into a children’s room, the walls in the children’s room soft package up, furniture also changed to rounded corners of the color plate furniture, so that, with the overall decoration The style does not match at all, every time you enter the children’s room is like visiting the neighbors, especially uncoordinated. My friend said helplessly: “This is all my fault for not considering the needs of the children before decorating.

You can’t decorate a new home based on one person’s preference, right? You have to take care of the needs of the whole family and come up with a plan that is the best of both worlds. In fact, renovating a new home can also have a more important function, which is to change some habits. For example, if you want to increase the reading atmosphere in your new home, you can make more bookshelves and hide the TV so that you can turn your usual habit of watching TV into a habit of communicating with your family or learning to read books.

The third step is to determine the selection of materials and decoration team.

In recent years, the topic of indoor pollution has attracted more and more attention, because the decoration of formaldehyde, benzene, hydrogen and other harmful gases can cause some health risks for the elderly and children, so the choice of decorative materials has become the most important issue for people.

Some time ago, we went to the new home of classmates Zhang as a guest, found that although her home is just renovated, but almost no odor, we asked her how to do, she said: “What money can be saved, the money for decorative materials can not be saved, must buy environmentally friendly logo, formaldehyde content in the national regulations can be, choose the right material, it is the same as the choice of health, and If you choose the wrong, the consequences can be serious. So pick home improvement materials must be more questions, more look, more comparison, can not be partial to the sales guide sales.

The most important thing is to choose a professional decoration team, such as to choose a qualified one, to choose a good reputation, etc. These students must know that, after fully understanding their own affordability, choose an experienced, strong and reliable decoration team.

After determining the above four issues, you can start work, and then enter the second focus: what are the main points in the renovation.

The process of renovation, there will be a variety of details, such as living room as much as possible to install power plugs; bedroom overhead lighting is best dual-controlled, one by the door, one by the bed, save the winter lying in bed and then get up to turn off the lights; kitchen and bathroom tiles must not pick white, easy to show dirty and so on, these problems students must have experience, today to teach you the three points.

The first point is: shovel the garbage of the wall do not throw. In the main transformation, the original wall needs to be eradicated, but after playing the wall garbage first do not busy throw, should be left to fill the bathroom and other places, so as not to spend money later to move back.

The second point is to seal the balcony material must be good. Some people buy back some cheap materials to seal the balcony in order to save on renovation costs, which can easily cause safety hazards. Must use a good bit of material, such as broken bridge aluminum windows is the more mainstream materials, both safe and sound insulation, the effect is very good.

The third point is to pay attention to the construction of concealed works. Plumbing and electrical renovation is a hidden project in the new house renovation, if the construction is not rigorous, it will not only cause safety hazards and will lead to constant trouble. For example, there is no good floor heating, the future heating period when the water leakage, then you have to take apart the floor in order to repair; and in the plumbing transformation must be determined before each place of plumbing orientation, such as the direction of the bed in the bedroom, the direction of the TV wall, determine whether the bathroom installation washing machine location, so as not to later want to change when it is too late. In addition, you should not place the water pipes vertically or diagonally during construction, but lie flat on the ground to avoid deformation of the pipes.

When the house is renovated, you must want to move in as soon as possible to live, but students should pay attention, do not be too hasty, this is a matter of health and even life. Decoration pollution is fiercer than a tiger, the new house renovation, you must leave a period of time, open the windows, so that the indoor harmful gases can be dispersed. You may say: eh, I do not smell anything ah, and I used the best materials ah! In fact, even if you do not smell anything, it does not mean that the remaining residue in the house does not exist. And, even if you buy all the best environmentally friendly materials, think about it, the formaldehyde of your cabinets does not exceed the standard, the formaldehyde of the bed does not exceed the standard, the formaldehyde of the floor does not exceed the standard, but together?

So, in the new room after renovation, how long do you need to ventilate to move in? This does not have a unified statement, but at least three months later to move in. If your new home decoration is relatively simple, decoration materials are also inclined to green, formaldehyde pollution may be lighter, if the family does not have poor resistance of the elderly and children, you can move in after three months, if your new house decoration is more complex, and use more decorative materials, formaldehyde pollution is more serious, just rely on ventilation is not enough, but also need to put some green plants in the house to accelerate Air purification, buy some bamboo charcoal package, accelerate the adsorption of formaldehyde, but the most important thing is still exposure and ventilation, preferably in the summer time daytime exposure, ventilation at night, then the harmful gases will dissipate more quickly.

We focus today on life skills of home improvement tips, mainly on three parts, the first part of the preparation before the renovation, including a good budget, identify their expectations of the functional design of the room requirements, determine the selection of materials and decoration team; the second part of the main points of the renovation, including shoveling the wall of the garbage do not throw, sealing the balcony material must be good, more to the construction of hidden works; the third part of the renovation do not It is best to wait for three months after the renovation, during which more exposure and ventilation, with green plants and bamboo charcoal package to accelerate the purification of harmful substances.
