Many owners have just started decorating their new houses, joining various groups to obtain decoration information or anxiously choosing a decoration company to start decoration. Little did they know that there were many invisible \”pits\” hidden in this process. If you were not careful, you would fall into the trap of the decoration company and be fooled by all kinds of things. Every day, you would spend money to find trouble.

Today I will tell you about 4 common \”pits\” in decoration. You must keep them in mind when decorating. Be careful, try to avoid it!

The first pit: low-cost decoration and free furniture and home appliances

When many people are looking for a decoration company, it is really difficult to resist the temptation when they hear that the decoration company also provides home appliances and furniture. After all, they say that 100 square meters of decoration costs 139,800, and they will give you 8 major appliances and 24 pieces of furniture. It is tempting to ask you Not tempting? But what is the plot behind this?

In fact, many times these gifts are \”gimmicks\” put out by decoration companies in order to get you to place an order. Make you feel like it\’s a good deal. But in fact, they usually multiply the cost price of furniture and appliances by 2The price is 3 times to 3 times, so the furniture and appliances given as gifts are not actually worth that much.

Some decoration companies will wait until the project is completed before delivery, which means that you have to pay them the balance first. . Before settling the final payment, you are actually not sure about the quality of the things given by the decoration company. Once a dispute arises during the decoration process, you will be very passive. Even if you delay the final payment, the cost of these furniture and appliances has been included in the project budget, and the decoration company will not suffer any loss, and will not be in a hurry to deal with matters that you are not satisfied with.

The second pitfall: design routines

Many decoration companies will use free designs to attract customers to place orders. It was my first time decorating and I didn’t understand the routines in the industry, so I thought it was a good deal. But in fact, the so-called free design is just a set of templates. Naturally, these so-called \”designers\” are just sales of individual templates.

However, paying a design fee does not necessarily make people feel at ease. Some designers really do not consider the actual situation at all. The design plan cannot be implemented, only to find that there are problems here and there, and you have to agree to modify the plan, and you have to be responsible for the additional expenses caused by the modification. Anyway, the designer has never been to the construction site since the day the construction started. The explanation was unclear, making everyone tremble with anger

The third pitfall: additional items

The additional items during the decoration are definitely a big pitfall. The original budget was 150,000. , Pretending to be more than expected, many expenses were unexpected in the early stage, or the decoration company was deliberately careless at the beginning.

For example, for the disposal of construction waste generated during renovation, if this waste removal freight is not listed in the contract, it will definitely be added as an additional item and require additional payment later. .

There are also a lot of customization options for the whole house. I thought that the package price would almost meet my needs. In the end, I was told that adding a drawer would cost 500 more, and adding a clothes rail would cost me 100. The bottom cover costs extra, which is not included in the initial projection area calculation. If you want to make invisible handles on the door panels, you will also need to pay extra. After all, the cabinets in the whole house are completed, which is really a lot.

The fourth pit: the pit of purchasing main materials

Some decoration companies swear before you make an order that the price of the main materials they provide is definitely the lowest price in the market. After bundling, you I found that the prices in external stores and flagship stores were cheaper than them. When you tried to reason about it, he said that the products just looked similar and were different. If you could show evidence that they were exactly the same specifications and models, it would be different. Give you another excuse.

Go to the building materials market to buy materials yourself. Try not to say that you are in a new community, especially a community with high housing prices, and don\’t disclose it. address to prevent the order from being locked.You may not be able to find a reasonable price at the end of the day. You can dress simply and say that you are a renovator in an old neighborhood. In addition, what the designer introduces is not necessarily the lowest price. Many people related to the home decoration industry will try to please designers by giving them rebates in the hope that they will bring business back, and this rebate fee given to designers will be more or less counted on consumers. In short, you should shop around and don’t make a hasty decision.
