How can we strike a balance between saving money and practicality when decorating a new house? Regarding this question, I believe everyone has their own answer and method.

Take today\’s young people as an example, they can always come up with some surprising ideas,And while saving money, the effect and practicality are not bad.

In this issue, I will share some \”decoration wisdom\” from young people. I didn\’t expect that after changing my thinking, I can save money and live better. Come and learn it.

1. Enclosed balcony

The first step in decoration is to seal the balcony. In addition, many house types now have a double-balcony structure. It will cost tens of thousands of yuan to do it, which is expensive.

How to save money?

The first method is to design an open balcony,That is, the \”invisible protective net\” is used to replace the traditional aluminum alloy window sealing.

The advantage is that it saves money, it can be done for less than a thousand yuan, and it is very casual while ensuring safety.

The disadvantage is that it is neither dustproof nor rainproof, and it requires frequent care in life. Otherwise, The balcony will be a mess in a few days.

The second method is to close the balcony with a balcony sliding door,It is an alternative version of the \”heavy-duty sliding window\” enclosed balcony

The method is a bit difficult. It requires proofreading the size, reinforcement, and It is necessary to carry out secondary customization and transformation on the basis of the existing sliding door.

But it is true that it can save money, and it is more practical,It can be completely closed or completely open, and the degree of freedom is very flexible.

2. Design without main light

The design without main light is very high-end and the atmosphere is great, but the cost is not cheap. In addition to the cost of the lamp itself, there is also the cost of the full ceiling.

How to save money?

The method is very simple, which is to use surface-mounted lamps to design without main lights.While saving the cost of the full ceiling, it also avoids the sense of oppression caused by the height.

As for the lighting effect and atmosphere, it is basically the same as embedding lamps in the ceiling, and there will be no obvious visual abruptness.

The only trouble is that when embedding lines, you need to make grooves on the top surface. And it is not conducive to later line maintenance and replacement.

But with the current quality of wires, this concern can be completely ignored As long as the electrician\’s skills are not too outrageous, there is usually no problem.

3. Entrance door

Many homes will decorate the entrance door To replace it, firstly, the pig liver-colored door is too ugly, and secondly, I am worried that the poor quality of the door will leave a safety hazard.

Of course, the cost of replacing the entrance door is not cheap, often costing several thousand yuan per door.

How to save money?

In fact, the most economical way is not to replace the entry door, and there is no need to replace it. Because the doors installed by most developers are of good quality. If you are worried about safety, you can spend a few hundred dollars to replace a Class C lock.

As for the color of the door, it can be beautified by changing the color to make it more suitable for the decoration style of the home.

1) Paint color change: Find a professional color changer to handle it. It can be done for about 2 to 300 yuan, which is worry-free and will not overturn the situation.

2) Film color change:Shopping online for your favorite car clothes or stickers. If you are worried that you can’t apply them well, go to a car beauty shop and find a master and ask him to come over after get off work to help you apply them.

The cost is more expensive than paint color change, mainly depending on whether you choose car clothing or stickers. The craftsman\’s manual fee is almost 300 yuan.

4. Kitchen wall cabinet

In the traditional concept, the kitchen must be equipped with wall cabinets, and even the range hood must be wrapped in cabinets to maximize the storage capacity of the expanded space.

Compared with cabinets, wall cabinets are cheaper, but they still cost 3 to 500 yuan per meter.

How to save money?

For young people who are sober in the world, the most practical and cost-effective method is,Just do not install kitchen wall cabinets and replace them with a small number of shelves.

1) Hard to get:For petite people, wall cabinets are basically just decorations.

2) Low usage:For families with low cooking frequency, wall cabinets are also just like decorations.

3) Overcrowding:For narrow L-shaped kitchens, wall cabinets will make the space more crowded.

So, installing a few shelves on the wall can save money at the same timeImproves the convenience of daily use.

5. Bedroom Wardrobe

The wardrobe is always a major project in decoration. It feels like if you just do it casually, you will lose tens of thousands of dollars, and you can\’t do less. Otherwise, later storage will become a big problem.

How to save money?

The most economical The way to make money is to make a metal wardrobe for the bedroom,The cost is only a fraction of that of a custom-made wardrobe, yet the practicality and storage capacity are the same.Not diminished at all.

Netizen @阿亚:My home is a wall-mounted wardrobe, which means using gypsum board as a partition foundation, installing a two-layer square steel frame inside, and wrapping it with wooden boards. Finally, install a clothes drying rod, match it with curtains and an IKEA storage rack, and it\’s complete.

The two rooms cost a total of 1,300 yuan, which can be said to be very extreme. Of course, dust is also an inevitable problem. Cleaning it frequently will helpgood.

Wangwu@屋里小小:Let me show you my 3-meter-long metal wardrobe. It is really versatile, and it is also very environmentally friendly, and the overall price is less than 2,000. It can be said to be the king of cost performance.

6. Furniture and home appliances

After the decoration of the new house is completed, the furniture and appliances are about to enter. Of course, this is also a high cost, and may even cost more than the cost of hard installation.

How to save money?

In fact, some furniture and home appliances do not need to be purchased at once,While alleviating budget pressure, it can also avoid waste.

For example, in the unoccupied second bedroom, there is no need to install an air conditioner or put a bed. Just leave it empty and you will have more choices.

For example, for some small appliances in the kitchen, except for some embedded appliances, you don’t need to buy other ones at all. Otherwise, it is easy to pay the \”IQ tax\”.

Another example is the curtains in the living room, cabinet air conditioners, and even large You can wait until you have money to buy a sofa. Don’t settle for just to make up the money.

Simply put, just buy furniture, home appliances and soft furnishings according to your own living needs,Leave more white space, not only to save money, but also to bring more changes to your future life.
