Nowadays, people have high requirements for home decoration, and decoration will have many links. Some novice owners do not know much about home decoration when decorating, decorating in a hurry, can not avoid ignoring some details, fall into the decoration trap, resulting in imperfect decoration. Let’s share a few pitfalls that should be avoided for the first time. Let’s take a look.

The first home decoration should avoid several pitfalls:
First, there are hidden secrets in the price list
Tampering with the final quotation provided to the client. Under normal circumstances, the home improvement company and the owner will revise the quotation 3-4 times before the final contract, the focus of attention from the unit price to the area, the total price and the process description, if the discussion is almost the same, the other party will give the owner a final given sample, requiring the owner to confirm and sign the contract. At this time, we must pay attention to not take it for granted that, as discussed before, some treacherous home improvement companies will do something in the process description or area, simplify some processes or secretly change some materials.
Tips: When signing a contract, be sure to personally compare and check the corresponding terms, whether the final conditions agreed with the home improvement company are consistent, can not ignore any details, do not leave any opportunity for the unprofitable.
Second, the description of the process is vague
When quoting, because the owner will pay more attention to the price of a single item, and often ignore the process description, especially what materials, what specifications, what grade and formaldehyde, benzene content and other provisions.
Be sure to verify the material, specifications and grade face to face, and implement it on paper, as an attachment to the contract, so as not to regret it, there is no evidence when playing a lawsuit or defending, and allow the home improvement company to provide unqualified and environmentally friendly materials at will.
Three, the single area is easily manipulated
General owners are also concerned about the price of a single item, as for the actual area is generally estimated, in fact, this piece is also a place where the home improvement guerrillas do something, if each area is slightly increased, the single price is high, so few hundreds, many thousands will go out.
Tips: After the price of a single item is decided, we must not be afraid of hard work, and the home improvement company together to measure the area size of a single item, and write it down, put it on paper, and calculate the total price of a single item, as an attachment to the contract, so as not to argue about the area and size.
Fourth, the water and electricity circuit data is fuzzy
Hydropower road transformation is the most important, but for home improvement companies, it is also the most important profit point. Therefore, when designing, it is necessary to strictly control the budget.
Home improvement companies will take the specific figures of hydropower road transformation to the actual data on the site, and it is difficult to estimate as a reason, refusing to tell you how much money it will cost in advance. As a result, when the owner checks out, he often finds that he has to pay three or four thousand yuan more for this project, which is very passive.
Before signing the decoration contract, the design is required to show the water and electricity road transformation drawings, and strictly calculate the number of the following projects may occur against the drawings: telephone line transformation, power socket transformation, switch panel transformation, waterway transformation, cable TV line transformation, network cable transformation, and calculate a reasonable cost.

5. Provide inferior products when entering the market
Although it is clearly written on the contract and price list, what material, what specifications and what grade of products should be used, some home improvement companies with a lucky mentality will always take risks and change their appearance to pretend to be true, if the owner is not careful, inferior materials will sneak into the market.
Tips: When the material enters the field, it is best to be present in person, bring the contract and quotation, and ask the knowledgeable person or supervisor to accept it together. At the time of signing the contract, the home improvement company must notify the owner or the supervisor of any material one to two days in advance, otherwise the responsibility for any problems and missed work of the material will be taken by the home improvement company. You have to stick to your principles. No means no.
Bought a new house to decorate, but is a decoration rookie, do not know where to start, and now the decoration industry is so hot, but as a layman, still do not know the mystery. The following is a small series of pre-decoration planning suggestions, I hope to help you.
First, home decoration first task to increase knowledge is of great help
Don’t give up because you don’t know how to decorate, so where to start? Decoration is a big problem, all the new owners are new in this field, for how to start this problem is more confused. The most basic should be to see more, ask more, go to the market more, shop around, and do the following three things.
1, decoration more reference
If the home is ready to decorate, you may wish to walk more, look more, search more, think more, compare more. See how other people’s houses are decorated, if you have any ideas in the face of such decoration, it is better to teach fish than to teach fish, the same reason, in order to have their own decoration more secure, owners also need to learn more.
2, more visit the building materials city
Building materials are essential materials for home decoration, so for building materials, furniture to visit several building materials city, building materials supermarket, furniture city, to see how the same building materials, furniture different brands, different sales outlets are selling, shop around. Conditional online to see how their reputation, in order to choose the most suitable for their own building materials.
3. Check the decoration
For decoration construction, we should look at several sites. Don’t rush to work, it’s better to wait until the neighbor’s house is finished, you go to have a look. Teams that do a good job, and even workers that do a good job, can stay and work for themselves.

Second, the space function to consider more to avoid being led by the nose
Before decoration, you need to fully understand the function of each space, especially according to your actual situation to set functional areas and internal layout. Therefore, the most fundamental question of decoration is the owner’s first choice to ask himself: What do I or our family really need? Therefore, the home space function consideration and division is very important, we must pay attention to the following three steps.
1. Talk to the designer
If you need to hire a design Yes, the owner can first negotiate with the designer, put forward their own needs, so that the designer can design the home according to their own needs, so that the designer can not only meet their own needs, but also allow the designer to consider the function of the owner’s needs in the design process, understand the owner’s living habits, interests and other information, It is convenient for the designer to better combine the function and style together in the design process, and design the scheme that the owner is satisfied with.
2. Determine the function
Because the division of space function is not only a drawing problem, but more importantly, it is to consider the needs of life. It is best to have a drawing, or a program, to divide the space and function. For example, draw the house plan first, which room to do, divide the big direction first, and then calm down, stay in that space, think about what I want to put here, what to do there, imagine the appearance of life in the future, you know what you need, and then divide the design style according to the function. Therefore, we should respect the space, respect the function, and then the rules of decoration.
3. Finally, consider style
Some owners began to decorate, do not care about what function, most of the small owners initially consider the style, which is easy to lead to the function of the room after the decoration will be unsatisfactory, or cause waste. So, if you are not a fantasist, then still start from the reality, first determine the function and then determine the style, think clearly, and clearly consider how to better and more reasonable use of space in limited space.

Third, the construction team of the construction company carefully choose
Looking for a suitable decoration team. Marriage just said pay attention to the family, why to find the decoration team also want to ask when the household? Because in the face of large and small decoration companies, big companies spend a lot of money, small companies spend a little money, which is an inevitable law. So how to choose a good decoration team? Owners need to think about three things.
1, how to choose the decoration company
Choose what kind of decoration company, first of all to consider their own economic affordability, to choose a with their own actual situation, affordability equivalent. Economic benefits are the first consideration of the owners. The biggest advantage of large companies is that reliability is good, there is a guarantee in the later period, looking for a construction team, there is no guarantee in the later period, the material is much more expensive than the construction, and we must consider our own economic affordability after reading the construction quality.
2, not in a hurry to decorate
The new house arrived, there is no hurry to install, you can see more, this is also a way. When the owner chooses the construction team, from the company, to the design, to the foreman, to the worker, this is to be specific to the operation of each worker, you can take a look at the company in the project, in the project can fully show the company’s management level, technical level. Through this investigation, do not rush to take the key today, install it tomorrow, and live a month later.
3, decoration company choose channels
Choose a decoration company, there are so many channels. First, directly to the market choice, one into the market will be pulled away. You can talk to these companies, but I don’t think the quality is related to the size of the company. Second, publish decoration bidding information on the decoration bidding platform. Let the company with good reputation on the platform serve you.
