Half of the people who have decorated have regretted it. Regret for being brave and pretending to be brave, worrying about countless things and wasting money; Regret that the decoration company did not have personality, and every family looked the same; I regret that I hired a famous designer to empty my wallet for beauty.
Different homeowners have different strategies for saving money, saving worry, and personalized decoration, but many people do not really understand their needs before making decisions.
Let's discuss with you today Soft decoration design and decoration Is it suitable to find a decoration company or a designer studio?
Looking for decoration company: simple and comfortable fast decoration
Overall household soft decoration It's like buying clothes. Some people take it as a hobby, while others think it's good to use it.
The decoration company is the basic model, and the designer studio is the customized model.
Choosing a reliable decoration company is more convenient than self decoration, can meet the simple decoration needs of ordinary families, and also saves more money than designer studios.
What kind of people are suitable for finding decoration companies?
1. Budget limited
Some specific effects and qualities can only be achieved with the corresponding materials and processes. If the budget is limited, it is better to keep it simple, reduce excessive stylized design, and save the cost of design and expensive materials.
2. Rental house and first suite
The first suite for young people is generally a transitional room, which can save money, simply decorate and slowly explore their own needs.
3. Small area and simple house type
For a house with an area of less than 80 m2, if the house type is relatively reasonable and does not need to be demolished or changed, choosing a decoration company will be enough to help you build a basic and error free home.
4. I understand the design and have very clear goals
If you have the foundation of decoration and design, you can be the leader of your own decoration.
Some of the young friends of Xueba have seen the decoration knowledge every day since they bought the house. They have learned to draw pictures, run the market and compare prices. By the day of house delivery, they had already become the king from bronze.
5. Buddhist decorator
After visiting so many real people, I found that most of them are "Buddhist decorators". They pay attention to buying houses for living, not for showing off.
Usually I am busy with my work, but I pay more attention to style and fashion. I don't have time to learn decoration knowledge. I just hope that everything will be handed over to professional people, just enough and good quality.
What can the decoration company do for you?
Those who have just come into contact with the decoration will first come into contact with the three concepts of "clear package", "half package" and "full package".
Cleaning: only responsible for work. All materials are purchased by the owner himself, which is suitable for the owner who knows how to decorate and has plenty of time.
Half package: provide construction and auxiliary materials, and the owner selects the main materials, suitable for the owner who has certain personalized requirements for decoration materials and style.
All inclusive: also known as full decoration (the series of beauty revolution packages of the living style belong to this category). From the main materials, auxiliary materials to construction, they are all provided by the decoration company, which is suitable for simple decoration homeowners with busy work.
Let's take all inclusive as an example to see what decoration companies can do for you?
1. Control decoration budget
It's easy to exceed the budget for your own decoration. From material selection to construction, it's difficult to grasp the overall situation without sufficient experience.
The decoration company will investigate the market in advance and cooperate with the brand to provide you with the most cost-effective combination and the price of materials that cannot be obtained in the market.
Toilet, sanitary ware, ceramic tile and cabinet that can be moved home directly
2. House type analysis and plane adjustment
The decoration company also has its own designers, who will help you with the basic structural adjustment of the house type.
3. Manage decoration progress
You don't need to learn which step requires which workers to enter the site. The decoration company will arrange it.
4. Control decoration quality
The engineering supervision and after-sales guarantee mechanism of the decoration company can effectively control the decoration quality, especially the most important safety issues. It is difficult to consider the overall situation of self decoration.
Of course, the decoration company provides only the most basic services. In order to take care of the needs of most people, the decoration company can only provide affordable and conservative choice of main materials, and there is no special inflow and trendy materials. The old three can eat for several years.
Therefore, too personalized and special needs will not be met in the decoration company. Even if you want to stick a circle of small tiles, many decoration companies will recommend self purchase, not to mention the "two rooms to three rooms" and "five people living in a 15 ㎡ house" that often appear in dream renovations, these brain holes have been created.
In order to create your own attractive ceramic tile, you need to select, browse and compare prices on the Internet, and urge the shop owner to deliver goods quickly before the construction of workers. If you still want to follow the example of the beautiful pictures on the Internet, the complicated and unpopular process will make most decoration companies have no choice but to refuse.
How to find a good decoration company?
1. Look at the reputation
Ask your friends and relatives, and then go to the online decoration platform to check.
Pay attention to the poor comments. Although it is inevitable to solve the problems in the soft decoration, the attitude of solving the problems will show the service level of the company at a glance.
2. Site inspection
Focus on water and electricity and bricklaying, whether water and electricity are wound, and whether the bricklaying process is flat.
Don't forget to chat with the homeowners you meet to learn about the real cooperation experience.
3. Management
The project quality shall be formally supervised and the construction process progress shall be very clear.
4. After sales
Ask about the warranty period of concealed works, all finishing works, and the main materials purchased, such as wooden doors, cabinets and other furniture appliances.
5. Check the charges
Ask which items need extra payment.
6. Viewing materials
Be sure to ask about the specific brands of main materials, auxiliary materials, water pipes and wires.
Finally, don't look for acquaintances to decorate, which will hurt both money and feelings.

It is also the designer. The designer of the decoration company is only responsible for the basic house type improvement and drawing. Generally, the designer will not carry out major demolition and modification when there is no specific demand.

Designers will give you suggestions on furniture purchase. Some design studios will be directly responsible for the purchase of all furniture and the final placement.

The quality of designers is not only reflected in successful customer cases, but also in the overall vision and smooth logic when explaining.
Even the overall pattern, scale, personnel quality and service attitude of the design studio are important factors for investigation.
Designers who have decorated their own homes often have a better grasp of the details of decoration. Families with children can focus on designers who have children to better understand the needs of your family.
