What people call renovation is decoration, and decoration and renovation are the same concept. Decoration generally refers to the post-processing of fixed parts inside a residence, such as the decoration of floors, walls, ceilings, doors and windows. Overall, decoration in interior design is inseparable because it should be a harmonious whole. When decorating, it is important to consider the style, color, and placement of furniture. It is also impossible not to consider the well decorated layout when decorating. Sometimes when it comes to decoration, it actually includes decoration, because decoration is meant for decoration and it's not easy to separate them completely.

1) Based on one's own and the cohabitant's living conditions and quality of life, first determine what one likes and what is most suitable for oneself, then look at one's own property, think about how to plan, and what is needed (it is best to write it down). Decoration is the integration of all details into a whole, and there must be a general design theme, with all details centered around the "resident". It's best to have a time concept for planning, such as 3-5 years. What changes will occur?

2) Look and listen more to friends and colleagues around you about decoration, because decoration knowledge covers a wide range and must be accumulated more. It is difficult for a non professional person to understand it thoroughly in a short period of time.

3) Choose some decoration companies based on your own economic strength, and remember not to disclose your true bottom price, otherwise you will find that the price is too high after decoration. Usually, it is necessary to reduce 10000 to do so.

4) When choosing a designer, it is important to show them the floor plan and floor plan structure. Usually, some good designers will propose their ideas through necessary questions and communication. Don't tell them your own ideas first, let's see if they can see the shortcomings of the floor plan. (There are usually problems, which good designers can see. Ordinary designers don't know, and architectural design cannot be without problems due to the influence of area.)

5) Nowadays, designers on the market can be divided into two categories: those with A engineering backgrounds, which are more rigorous, have a strong sense of space, and require good craftsmanship. B comes from an art background, with a lot of ideas and a focus on the surface, but pays less attention to craftsmanship. In addition, it is recommended to choose a designer who is between 23 and 35 years old and has some life experience (this is very important, otherwise the designer's home will lack the concept of life). It is also best to choose someone who has worked in this industry for a certain period of time, at least 3 years, because many newly graduated designers do not have much design experience, which is particularly evident in construction design.

6) If you are not very proficient in decoration, it is recommended to find a knowledgeable friend or supervisor, after all, putting tens of thousands of yuan in someone else's place is worth it or not, and you are not sure whether it is worth it. This is completely unrelated to whether you believe in decoration companies or not. Having an additional supervisory function is not a bad thing.

Inspect each hidden project one by one

Nowadays, conventional construction involves burying water pipes inside the walls. Water installation can be divided into two categories: water supply installation and drainage installation. The task of the water supply system is to ensure water quality, quantity, and pressure. The principle of water supply pipeline layout is to shorten the pipeline layout while ensuring water supply safety and convenience, and also to facilitate construction, maintenance, and aesthetics. The water supply pipes used by some legitimate decoration companies nowadays are mostly composite copper pipes or Rifeng pipes that meet the standards. Because these materials have good quality, the cost is also higher, but this is much safer and more practical than some substandard composite pipes or galvanized pipes used by "guerrilla forces". After the final water supply pipe is laid, it must be depressurized with a test press for 2-3 hours before the pipe can be sealed. Drainage pipes are used to remove sewage from people's daily lives. Drainage installation should be carried out at the shortest distance to the outlet. If the pipeline is long, its slope should be large, and the drainage material must meet international standards. Currently, good materials on the market include PVC pipes such as Baoshi brand, Liansu brand, and Huaneng Tong brand.

What is the standard for "electrical installation"

With the increasing number of household appliances, people's requirements for electricity are also becoming higher and higher. Therefore, the wiring engineering of electricity must be carefully designed by electrical engineers with circuit diagrams before construction, which makes it convenient and safe for owners to use in their daily lives. The installation of electrical circuits requires high material quality and construction technology. Wiring materials generally consist of wires, PVC conduit, wire surface accessories, and electrical switches. Due to the wide variety and varying quality of each material, there is a significant price difference. When it comes to wires, commonly used wire specifications include 1.5mm2, 2.5mm2, 4mm2, 6mm2, 10mm2, etc. Each specification has many varieties, such as BVT (double plastic protection), BV (single plastic protection), 2R-BW (flame retardant double plastic), 2R-BV (flame retardant single plastic), and the grades are also different. There are international standards, national standards, and some that do not meet the standards. Their prices differ by 1-2 times, or even 3-4 times. Therefore, we hope that consumers will not be tempted by small discounts and bring trouble to themselves. Electrical switches include Panasonic, Matsumoto, etc. Requirements for conduit layout: Lighting wires and socket wires should be controlled separately, with wires of 2.5mm2BV. For kitchen electricity, air conditioning electricity, and massage bathtubs, dedicated wires of 4mm2BV must be used. During construction, the wiring lines must be vertical and straight, and the wires must be covered with PVC conduit and accessories. When encountering shear walls or load-bearing walls that cannot be damaged, the lines must be insulated with anti wax pipes.

What is the standard for "waterproof treatment"

Waterproof treatment "is generally used in kitchens and bathrooms to prevent water from seeping into the downstairs and walls. The waterproof materials commonly used by regular decoration companies nowadays are Luban brand or Huili brand tar polyurethane waterproof coating rubber.

The construction method is as follows: first level the wall or floor, clean the team, wait for it to dry, pour the waterproof coating material into the material and stir for 3-5 minutes, then stick the porcelain tiles and floor tiles. Attention all property owners, some construction teams are now using asphalt instead of waterproofing materials in order to cut corners. Most property owners do not understand the mystery behind this. Asphalt only costs 38 yuan/barrel (8.5kg pack), 4.47 yuan/kg, and can be applied to 2 square meters per kg, which means that it only costs more than 2 yuan for materials per square meter, and cannot achieve a good waterproofing effect.

Therefore, regular decoration companies generally use waterproof coatings to ensure the quality of the project, on the one hand, to be responsible to the owners, and on the other hand, to maintain the reputation of consumers themselves. Because most legitimate decoration companies have a one-year warranty commitment when signing decoration contracts. If waterproofing is not constructed with hard materials, the consequences will be borne by the decoration company. In order to pursue greater profits, the "guerrilla forces" cut corners and switch places with one shot. If the owners have maintenance problems and come back to look for them, they may not even be able to find anyone and will only suffer the consequences. Therefore, consumers who decorate their homes are reminded to be extremely cautious when choosing a decoration company. And carefully identify asphalt and other waterproof coatings.

Common fraudulent methods

Soliciting business under the guise of not making money. Home decoration should also have a cost budgeting process: material costs, construction costs, management fees, profits, etc. should all be clearly defined, and decoration companies or construction teams without reputation, quality, and service guarantees often adopt the practice of quoting at once or lower than others to undertake business. Leakage of engineering projects.

Taking advantage of the customer's lack of knowledge in decoration, intentionally omitting items on the construction project list and adding additional items to increase the quotation during the construction period. Although there seems to be a detailed quotation, there is an intention to increase the area when calculating the quantity of construction area. If the construction area is calculated repeatedly (excluding those that should be excluded), or if there are irregularities, the area is calculated based on the maximum size. The material is inferior to good. The materials on the quotation do not match the actual usage, especially the use of fake and inferior materials for the base layer to reduce costs. Or intentionally increase material loss and increase the amount of work under the guise of loss.

Reduce construction procedures and cut corners to reduce costs. If only two of the six coats of paint were supposed to be applied, the cement would be of inferior quality, the wooden base would not be firmly treated, all wedges would be connected by nails, and the proportion of water added to latex paint would be unequal. Using popular package pricing methods to deceive customers may seem scientific, but the actual project is vague.

Before the renovation, they boasted and took on the business. However, after the renovation was completed, if there were any quality problems, they would flee, and quality and maintenance became major issues.

Cutting corners and using inferior materials

Tile workers: (1) buy substandard and inferior cement. (2) Purchase substandard and inferior ceramic tiles. (3) Ceramic tile cement is not solid and empty inside.

Carpenter: (1) Buy inferior wooden boards that do not meet specifications. (2) Using inferior panels or slacking off when the owner is unfamiliar with the materials and there are no clear provisions in the contract terms. (3) Quickly lay the floor.

Paint: (1) Use fake latex paint. (2) Reduce the number of iterations. (3) Use inferior varnish.

How to prevent fraud

We cannot give up our principles for the sake of small gains. Before signing the contract, it is necessary to clarify the materials, construction procedures, and service items required. Carefully choose a reputable and powerful decoration company, and respect their reasonable profits from labor. Check the names, materials, quantities, methods, unit prices, and total prices of the items listed in the quotation. Indicate relevant matters such as adding or removing items. Please indicate detailed construction methods and material names on the construction drawings as attachments to the contract. Home decoration prices are playing tricks. In recent years, the "price war" has become a "landscape" in the Chinese market, and it is becoming increasingly intense. The more detailed the decoration project, the more detailed it becomes. From the perspective of pricing in the home decoration market, there are many decoration companies that adopt a price breakdown method for pricing. Their common practice is to randomly break down a single project into multiple sub items and quote separately for each sub item. For example, in the quotation of a door, according to the normal quotation method, the quotation should be based on how much each door costs (generally excluding handles and locks). If there are sub items, it is also due to price differences in different processes and materials. However, currently some decoration companies often divide a door into several items and quote separately in order to increase the number of orders, such as using the door leaf as one item. Take the door frame as an item. Furthermore, some consider hardware components such as hinges as a separate item... and some even include the labor cost of installation and painting as a charging item for consumers to pay again. Due to the limitations of professional knowledge, consumers often cannot identify the secrets involved and cannot explain the reasons for such unreasonable pricing, so they have no choice but to pay.

Engage in psychological warfare to confuse consumers. Foreign psychologists have concluded through experiments that any change in the price of a product will provide psychological cues to consumers, prompting them to make a decision to buy or not to buy. It is precisely by utilizing this psychological conclusion that some of our home decoration companies adopt a price breakdown approach to attract consumers. If the price of 10 yuan is simply decomposed into two 5 yuan, it is understandable in itself. However, under the conditions of a market economy, corporate behavior always carries commercial motives. Therefore, in price decomposition, they often raise some sub item prices by a small amount, which is not easily noticed by consumers. Without realizing it, the overall price has increased significantly, which is also a psychological comparison.

From the above manifestations, it can be seen that the purpose of price decomposition is to indirectly increase home decoration prices. The result is that consumers are deceived and enterprises gain temporary benefits. However, the biggest victim of this move is not the general customers, but the enterprises themselves. Experts say that although the current home decoration market in Beijing is fiercely competitive, it also holds enormous potential. As long as home decoration enterprises strengthen quality management and improve comprehensive service levels, the public will develop a sense of identification with the enterprise from the bottom of their hearts, and the enterprise will gain a larger market share. Our business managers, when dealing with certain issues in the enterprise, always make the mistake of "taking shortcuts" and "being short-sighted", and cannot grasp the key links of the problem for analysis and decision-making.

After receiving the house, many people do not know how to inspect it, and some people believe that the quality inspection station has already inspected it, so it is unnecessary for the owner to inspect it again. In fact, in many cases, whether you inspect or not, you have to buy the house. Just discovering problems before signing will make it easier for you to hold the developer accountable. As an outsider, how to inspect a house? Of course, the projects listed here are applicable for the acceptance of any type of house, including the acceptance of commercial offices.

1. Look at the wall.

I don't know when it started, but looking at the walls became the primary issue in house inspection. In fact, even houses built in the 1980s were not as fragile as current houses. I have seen the most serious house, where I found water seepage in the windows on rainy days. After asking, I found out that all the walls under the windows in the entire building were leaking water. When a typhoon approaches, it is even more frightening, and what is even more astonishing is that this building was built by the Land Bureau of a district, it is really scary. So, it's best to inspect this before the house is handed over, the day after heavy rain. At this point, if there is a problem with the wall, it is almost unavoidable.

In addition to water seepage, there is also an issue with the walls, which is whether they have cracks. A friend once reported that there was a door shaped crack in his home. Later, when he asked the developer, he found out that it was originally a lift cargo port left during construction. Later, when it was sealed and repaired, it was handled carelessly, resulting in future problems.

2. Verify water and electricity.

Firstly, check if the house's water and electricity are connected. Of course, for some high-end decorations, most of the water and electricity need to be replaced later, so sometimes these contents are not the key, but if you don't plan to replace the water and electricity, then these things must be carefully inspected. Checking wires, in addition to checking if they are powered on, mainly depends on whether the wires meet the national standard quality. Another issue is whether the cross-sectional area of the wire meets the requirements. Generally speaking, the electrical wires in the home should not be less than 2.5 square meters, and the air conditioning cables should be up to 4 square meters. Otherwise, when using the air conditioner, it is easy to overheat and become soft. Of course, this is an ideal configuration, as most civil engineering wires are one level lower.

3. Waterproof inspection.

The waterproofing referred to here refers to the waterproofing of the kitchen and bathroom. Of course, some of the houses delivered so far have already declared that they have not been waterproofed, which requires renovation. If waterproofing has already been done at the time of delivery, then we have to verify whether the waterproofing is done well. If you don't give it a try before renovating, then if you find water leaks or something when you finish renovating, the maintenance project will be huge. You have to demolish the newly renovated ground to make a new waterproof layer. The method of waterproof inspection is to use cement mortar to make a threshold to block the entrance of the toilet, then cover the sewage/water outlet with a plastic bag, tie it tightly, and then drain water from the toilet, which is shallow enough (about 2cm high). Then arrange for the homeowner downstairs to inspect the ceiling of their bathroom in 24 hours. The main leakage locations are: direct leakage from the floor slab. The contact point between the pipeline and the floor.

4. Pipeline inspection

The pipeline referred to here refers to drainage/sewage pipelines. Even for balcony like sewage outlets, during inspection, a water container should be taken in advance and water should be poured into the drainage outlet. Check if the water flows smoothly. Why do we need to inspect this? Because during construction, some workers often "steal" this work while cleaning. Pour some cement slag into the drainage pipe and let it flow away. If the cement is sticky, it will block the bend and cause difficulty in drainage. There is another situation, but it is not related to acceptance. That's to check if the sewage pipe has a water storage and odor prevention elbow. According to experience, if the sewage pipe does not have a water storage and odor prevention elbow, then the overall quality of the house will have to be evaluated. Why does the sewage pipe need this kind of elbow? Because the elbow will store water, so the odor from the lower pipeline will be blocked below this layer. If there were no bends, the drainage outlets of the laundry room and toilet would emit a strange odor. Perhaps some developers may think that using an odor proof floor drain is enough, but engineering practice has proven that odor proof floor drains are far from meeting practical needs. And precisely because of these small places, they often best reflect the construction quality of the builders.

White main tone

White, with some slightly black decorations in the space, the room will no longer appear monotonous, but can effectively enhance the taste of the space. The striped pattern of jewelry enhances the sense of spatial design. Pursuing a simple life means abandoning meaningless desires.

Simple white is the most effective way to depict the subtle changes in light and shadow. The lamp made of hundreds of note papers is obviously the protagonist of the restaurant. The sense of hierarchy in creating space is not only about color, but also about the texture of materials. The contrast between lightness and heaviness, and the contrast between hardness and softness can all create the visual hierarchy of space. Simple life does not mean being dull, but its richness requires careful experience.

Gray tone

Gray, not so bright or gloomy, you seem to always find many shades of light and dark in the slightly colored gray. It breaks the binary visual pattern of solid colors, making everything ambiguous and blurry. The uncertainty of life makes it difficult for us to express it clearly in simple language, and the charm of home space may come from these subtle and indescribable changes.

If you are careful enough, you will find that there are almost no solid colors in nature, and there are hardly any identical colors. That is why the richness and diversity of nature are created. Similarly, colors that are too simplistic can appear very artificial. If you want a more natural atmosphere in your home, it is necessary to lower the saturation of the paint or coating appropriately.

Black tone

Black, deep and without any impurities, low-key cannot conceal its luxurious essence, on the contrary, it can maximize its surface texture. Even the smallest texture cannot escape light and shadow. So, details have become the classic of black, and also made our home no longer mediocre. Dark spaces always give people a classic feeling, especially black. In fact, there is no absolute black color, and the "black" color used in homes mostly belongs to relatively dark colors, such as dark brown or brown. Compared to spaces with cluttered colors, rooms with black as the main tone are definitely more stylish and elegant. So, instead of hesitating about which color to choose, it's better to be bold. Black won't be as monotonous as you think, especially when paired with other decorations in the house.

Black is also a versatile color, and any color paired with black is very eye-catching in space, especially red. In general, red and black give people a festive feeling and carry some traditional Chinese temperament. Have you ever tried this combination of gold and black? In the bedroom, a silk embroidered gold blanket is casually placed on the dark bedding. The owner's carelessness allows both to interpret the meaning of luxury in the simplest way possible.

Romantic Pink

The new color is stable and comfortable, with rich personality, and less exaggeration compared to the previous red. These pink colors are neither too flashy nor too cute, exuding a sense of maturity that is highly attractive to both men and women. The influence of cool colors is more obvious, while a new coral tone appears, bringing a touch of warmth with higher brightness and soft skin tone.

Warm Orange

This color achieves a balance between the bright color of red chili and the natural tone of brick and soil. Convey a powerful, lively, and dazzling artistic conception, and show more confidence. The deep brown color of leather exhibits a rich, deep, and contrasting texture.

Bright yellow

The gentle neutral tone has a strong sense of tolerance, providing comfort and relaxation. The elegant colors, like the dim light of candles and champagne, add warmth and charm, creating a swaying and vague atmosphere. The yellow with a hint of greenery has been replaced by pure yellow, which is more sunny, optimistic, and enjoyable.

Neutral warm color

Full color and more attractive. Full range of colors, suitable for different tastes and usage scenarios. The vivid natural colors remind people of animal skins, snake skins, fur, feathers, etc., adding strong animal infectivity. The influence of green has brought a new direction - khaki color has a soft and relaxing tone, giving people a mature and sophisticated visual experience.

Dynamic Green

This set of colors includes all colors from pleasant warm yellow green to soothing cool blue-green, forming an image that is both traditional and futuristic. It exhibits the lively and edible qualities of fruits and vegetables, reminding us to feel the generosity of nature. Full of vitality, the jelly like sparkling colors showcase the influence of technology and the city.

Ocean Blue

This group of colors has transitioned from natural blue in previous years to a complex artificial blend of blue - represented by the beautiful and shiny glazed blue. The colors of turquoise, gemstones, and enamel are clear and authentic, adding a touch of exotic charm to the exaggerated blue color scheme. The ink like deep blue evokes the calmness and tranquility of copying calligraphy. The optimistic and sparkling mid tones showcase the beauty of Moroccan tiles and mosaics, with sapphire, dark blue, and aquamarine creating a rare and elegant combination.

Mysterious Purple

This set of colors contains many shades of red, appearing warm and reliable. The colder blue purple color has a soft and full color of pulp and fruit, appearing hazy. It originates from real life - every color has its subtleties and is easily matched with various parts of the interior. Colors that are easy to associate with ash and minerals are simple yet very practical.

Neutral Cool Color

The truly neutral colors of black, charcoal, and gray have a significant impact. This set of colors is concentrated in various soft and quiet shades of gray ranging from white to dark black - these spiritually neutral colors can form elegant contrasts with various colors in other color schemes. The diffuse warm colors have a strong connection with natural materials such as putty, stone, and clay, which are influenced by yellow and no longer appear so cold.

The safety of home decoration is often overlooked by people, and in fact, accidents caused by incorrect decoration methods are not uncommon. Generally speaking, the following points should be noted in decoration projects:

1, In home decoration, it is important to note that the floor of the building should not be entirely paved with marble. Marble is tens of times heavier than floor tiles and wooden floors, and if the floor is entirely paved with marble, it may make the floor slab unbearable. Especially for buildings above the second floor, the weight of ground decoration materials for buildings that have not been appraised by a building safety appraisal station shall not exceed 40 kilograms per square meter.

2, When carrying out interior decoration, it is not allowed to randomly drill holes in load-bearing walls, remove walls connecting balconies and doors and windows, expand the size of existing doors and windows, or build new doors and windows. This practice can cause local cracks and seriously affect the seismic resistance of the building, thereby shortening its service life.

3, The decoration of balconies and bathrooms should try to use materials with low loads, as excessive overloading of balconies can cause them to overturn.

4, Waterproofing of toilets and bathrooms is also a key aspect of decoration. The general practice is to block the floor drain and fill it with water at least 5 centimeters before renovating the bathroom. Conduct a water spray test, and if there is a leak, the waterproofing must be redone. If there is no leakage, be careful when laying the ground during construction, and do not damage the waterproof layer or make unauthorized changes to the water supply, drainage, and heating systems.

5, In order to pursue luxury in home decoration, it is not advisable to stick panels all over the walls and install two or three layers of three-dimensional ceilings on the ceiling. Because the walls are covered with boards, it occupies a large space, reduces the overall area of the space, incurs high costs, and is not conducive to fire prevention. A low ceiling can create a sense of oppression throughout the room.

6, When selecting wires, copper wire should be used instead of aluminum wire. Due to the poor conductivity of aluminum wires, they are prone to overheating, loose joints, and even fire hazards during use. In addition, during construction, attention should be paid not to directly dig trenches and bury wires on the walls. Regular conduit installation should be used to avoid electrical leakage and fire hazards.

7, During construction, attention should be paid to avoiding chiseling, drilling, hanging ceilings, and installing artistic lighting fixtures on concrete circular hole slabs.

8, Indoor decoration should ensure the safety requirements of gas pipelines and equipment. Do not dismantle or modify pipelines without authorization to avoid affecting the normal operation of the system. In addition, it should be noted that the horizontal clearance between power pipelines and equipment and gas pipelines should not be less than 10 centimeters, and the clearance between wires and gas pipes should not be less than 3 centimeters.

9, Do not place the gas stove on a wooden cabinet during kitchen decoration, and do not wrap the gas main valve in the wooden cabinet. Once the cabinet catches fire, the gas main valve will be difficult to close in the fire, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
