1. Do not change the entrance door

Most of the newly delivered commercial buildings now have pig liver red security doors sent by developers. Although the quality and safety are acceptable, the color is indeed ugly. If you replace the door simply because the color does not look good, it will definitely increase the decoration cost.

Therefore, many young people choose to change the color of their entrance doors in order to save money.

Netizen @Ke who loves pineapples Ji: The cost of replacing the door is less than 200 yuan, it’s really great!

Everyone in my family thinks that the color of the entrance door is too ugly and they want to change it, but I firmly disagree. The cost of replacing the door is at least three to four thousand yuan, which is not cost-effective.

I decisively went online and bought anti-theft door color-changing paint for 180 yuan, and then asked the painter to spray it for me; the color was sprayed by machine There are really no flaws at all, and the texture of the new door is also excellent visible to the naked eye. It’s really amazing!

2. No main light

Front The main-light-less design that has been popular in recent years does have certain advantages; it can not only create a sense of layering in the space, but alsoAtmosphere, and the light brightness can be adjusted according to needs to avoid waste.

However, the cost of decorating without a main light is very high; but the expense of the ceiling in the living room has dissuaded many people.

So, today’s rebellious young people choose not to install spotlights on the ceiling, which saves money and achieves the same goal. effect.

Netizen @米里的家:At the beginning of my home decoration, I and my family finalized the decoration ideas; we determined a comfortable, simple, and practical decoration route.

Therefore, the traditional double-eyelid and ceiling designs were abandoned; the original 2.7-meter floor height was retained, making the space visually more transparent and not depressing. .

Of course, in order to make the living room look less monotonous, I boldly chose surface-mounted track lights and spotlights; this way both Meets the lighting needs without main light, and also has certain decorationdecorative effect.

3. There is no coffee table in the living room

A coffee table. It is one of the essential pieces of furniture in the traditional living room layout; but for young people, it is really dispensable. Because the daily usage rate is not high, and it also takes up valuable living room space.

Therefore, now that young people are decorating their living rooms, more and more people are choosing to abandon the coffee table.

Netizen @ Eat Two Bowls of Noodles:In the past, the coffee table at home was mostly used to pile up clutter and made the living room look very crowded; after renovating it again, I decisively gave up the coffee table. There is a carpet in front of the sofa, which adds to the beauty and atmosphere, and the space is more than doubled.

In addition, with a small side table that does not take up space, the overall sense of hierarchy is achieved; usually put some paper towels, Small items such as water cups are particularly practical.

4. Install a hand-cranked clothes drying rack

In recent years, many families have chosen electric clothes drying racks for decoration; although they are very smart in function, they are not cheap, often costing 1,800 yuan.

Therefore, it is often not the best choice for young people who want to save money; although smart clothes drying racks have many functions, they They are not commonly used. If you only use lifting and lighting, why not choose a cheap hand-operated clothes drying rack?

Netizen @雪心大哥:Everyone says that electric clothes drying racks are beautiful and easy to use. They don’t need to be shaken and can even be controlled by voice; but for me, they are still practical. Lord, if you shake your hands twice, you can get it done for one hundred and eighty yuan. Why spend that wasted money?

Netizen @ I want to eat kelp every day:When decorating the balcony, I struggled for a week between electric and hand-cranked clothes drying racks; later I made a decisive choice. I chose a hand crank because my original intention was just to be strong and durable.

There is a thousand yuan difference between the two prices, so I chose the latter without hesitation.

5. No wall cabinets in the kitchen

In the eyes of many people, wall cabinets are the standard design for kitchens; although Wall cabinets can increase the storage space in the kitchen, but there are many disadvantages to installing wall cabinets.

For example: the cost is high, which inadvertently increases the decoration cost; and for small cooks, the space is useless and difficult to store items. The key is that it is crowded and hygienic is difficult. .

As a result, some young people simply do not install wall cabinets in their kitchens, which saves money and reduces trouble.

In traditional bathroom decoration, most people will install a glass partition in the shower area; firstly, it serves as a partition, and secondly, it can prevent bath water from splashing everywhere.

But in reality, the practicality of this kind of glass partition is also very average; not only the space is compressed and the cost is high, but over time, scale will accumulate on the glass, making it very troublesome to clean.

Therefore, some young people simply choose not to install glass partitions in order to eliminate health risks.

Put aside the shower curtain first and you can freely adjust the position and height. Not to mention these advantages; the key is to eliminate the need for bags on the glass. There is no need to worry about safety issues such as glass bursting

Pull it out when in use and push it back in when not in use. It takes up no space at all; it is easier to use and saves money than partitions.

Wooden wardrobes for bedrooms, whether you choose them from a manufacturer, It is better to buy the boards yourself and ask a carpenter to make them. The price is not cheap, and the environmental protection is also very average.

So, now more and more young people are choosing metal frame wardrobes, which are not only environmentally friendly and save money, but also more practical Not reduced.

Netizen @婷\’s response: I didn’t listen to the decoration company’s advice and insisted on making a metal frame wardrobe. The metal wardrobe cost 1,500 yuan and it was really delicious.
