It is important to avoid being decorated by the decoration company.

Many people will calculate the amount of money according to their own room size and their own economic conditions before the renovation, and how much money can be spent to build the home like a look. For most people, the longing for a good home often leads people to spend a lot of money to create, but due to the lack of understanding of home improvement expertise, individuals or that it is difficult for family members alone to complete the decoration task, this time please decorate the company Professionals' ideas will appear. However, there is no fixed quotation for home decoration fees in terms of grade, style, material, and labor. How can we avoid being fooled by home improvement companies? I suggest you may wish to start from the following two aspects.

Positioning your own home

In general, according to the family's different needs, different appreciation angles, the house can generally be divided into simple decoration, complex decoration and luxury decoration. Each different needs of the renovation needs to invest funds, and the amount of investment there is a certain gap. This requires the family of the decoration to make the initial accurate positioning according to their own needs, habits, financial resources and other aspects, and then only to consider how to decorate.

Simple decoration. General floor tiles for bedroom and living room and balcony floors, homemade latex paint for walls and top, domestic walls, floor tiles, DVC ceilings for kitchens and bathrooms, plaster lines for bedroom and living room corners, from one bedroom to three bedrooms It costs about RMB 15,000 to RMB 25,000, and the average area to use is about RMB 300 per square meter.

Complex decoration. In the bedroom, the imported composite wood floor or domestic solid wood floor is selected, and the living room uses joint venture tiles. Nippon Paint is used for walls and roofs. The other materials have risen one grade in turn, so that from one-bedroom to three-bedroom apartments will cost about 20,000 to 40,000 yuan, and an average of 400 yuan per square meter.

Luxurious decoration. Wooden floors are used in the bedroom and living room. The choice of other materials is even higher. In some places, imported raw materials can already be used. This will cost about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan from one bedroom to three bedrooms. It is 500 to 700 yuan per square meter.

The above price is only the decoration price, does not include the price of the decoration, sometimes according to the requirements of the resident or the designer's concept will increase the content of some decoration, entrust others to design, the design fee generally accounts for 5% to 20 of the entire renovation fee % varies.

Approximate material usage

Whether it is purchasing by oneself or commissioning a decoration company to purchase, the number of home improvement materials must be counted. Then how to reasonably estimate the decorative materials, and now to decorate the first network to teach you a few tips:

The amount of wallpaper or wall covering. After determining the color variety of wallpaper or wall cloth, the size of the material can be reasonably calculated according to the size of the living room. Considering the possible loss during construction, it can be purchased about 10% more than the actual amount. There are two ways to calculate the wallpaper or wall covering, one is a rough calculation, that is, multiply the area of ​​the room by 2.5, which is the number of materials used for the wall. Another method is to measure in the field. This method is more accurate. First understand the width of the desired wallpaper or wall covering. Use this width to measure the perimeter of the room wall (excluding doors, windows, etc.). There are several wallpapers in the perimeter or The width of the wall covering, ie, the number of sheets to be applied, then the length (m) of the wallpaper or wall covering. Finally, with this method, the length of the required materials for the walls, irregular corners, etc. under the windows is measured and added to the calculated length, which is the total length. This method is more suitable for fine-grained patterns and splicing. No special wallpaper or wall covering is required.

The amount of paint. With the improvement of housing conditions, many families paint a layer of colored paint on the whitewashed wall. Before painting, it is necessary to estimate the amount of paint needed. Otherwise, more waste will be created. If less, it will not be enough. Dissolved water, the color is difficult to be consistent, now introduce a simple calculation method. Dividing the room area by 4, the wall height to be painted is multiplied by 10 divided by 4, and the sum of the two is the number of kilograms of paint required. For example, a room with an area of ​​20 square meters and a wall height of 1.6 meters (excluding 1.2m wall skirt), then (20&spanide; 4)+(16&spanide;4)=9, ie 9kg paint can be painted on the wall twice.
