Step 1: Check the house.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of decoration, we must first have a comprehensive understanding of our house, so that we can be prepared when making design plans.
Steps to see the house: 1. Check the documents; Second, verify the area, calculate and implement the problem of overpayment and underpayment; Third, house acceptance; The fourth is to check whether the facilities and equipment specified in the sales contract are omitted and whether the brand and quantity are consistent; Fifth, the acceptance of the public environment.
In the acceptance stage, we focus on the following aspects:
First, check whether the doors and windows are airtight, whether the door switch is smooth, whether the installation is firm, how the sealing performance of the door is, and whether the gap of the door is too large, especially on one side of the door lock; Whether the four sides of the door are close to the door frame; Is there any special sound when the door is opened and closed?
Second, observe whether there are cracks in the ceiling, walls and ground. Cracks parallel to the beam basically do not hinder the use. If the crack is at an oblique angle of 45 degrees to the corner, or even perpendicular to the beam, it means that the house is seriously settled and the structural quality problem is serious.
See if there is a pit on it, that is, the "lime burst point", which will adversely affect the indoor renovation. Check the ceiling for water stains and cracks. If there is water stain, it means there is water leakage.
Third, we need a circuit diagram to facilitate decoration and modification. It is best to ask the accompanying inspectors for the circuit wiring diagram for reference in future maintenance. In this way, at the beginning of the transformation, when the hydropower transformation is carried out, it can be easily changed.
The second step is to choose furniture.
When considering decorating a house, we must first determine the style of furniture and choose the furniture that suits us. Some friends who want to decorate will have a misunderstanding that they should decorate before choosing furniture. But in fact, it is often found after decoration that when choosing furniture, you will be confused and unable to find furniture suitable for your home decoration style. So, remember: choose furniture first, and then decorate it. And of course, you should listen to the advice of experienced friends when choosing furniture.
The third step is to determine the decoration style.
After choosing suitable furniture, you can choose a home improvement company according to the style of the furniture. When communicating with designers, you must fully express your ideas and listen to the opinions of professionals, because some of your home improvement ideas may not be practical in the future, so full communication is very important before you can design a home improvement plan. Even if you don't want to find a home improvement company, try to find a designer to help you design, so that you can not only make better use of space, but also get professional solutions in color matching and feng shui.
After the floor plan, elevation plan and effect simulation map come out, modify those places that you think are not satisfied in time. Then review the designer's decoration budget, which you should pay more attention to. A good design scheme does not always need a good price budget, so that we can do more ideal things with less money.
By the way, let's popularize the common sense about various decoration styles here. At present, most decoration owners choose four types of decoration styles: natural style, simple style, retro style and mixed style.
Natural wind, that is, country wind. This style of residential color, mostly wood and green as the main tone, with light blue to reflect the natural color.
Simple style, that is, modern and Nordic style. This style of house is mostly silver-gray, with red as the main tone and bright accessories. Simple style can expand space, so it is especially suitable for small-sized houses.
Retro style, that is, classical style. People who like this style are not necessarily middle-aged and old friends. More and more young people prefer classical style. The color of this style is mostly gorgeous gold, and the cloud spots can be seen from the marble.
Mix and match style, the combination of modern style and classical style, is more popular now. This decoration style not only expands the space, but also adds a classical charm.
