Soft decoration refers to furniture, lighting, cloth fabrics, decorative ornaments (usually ornaments and pendants), flowers and green plants, which are responsible for the appearance of the family, while hard decoration refers to the four major projects in home decoration, namely, water and electricity engineering, clay engineering, carpentry engineering, and oil engineering.
Soft decoration is the responsibility of family appearance, which generally refers to what can be moved when the family moves; Hard decoration undertakes important functions in the home. Hard decoration refers to the projects that must be completed in the decoration stage, and once completed, it is difficult to change. Soft decoration design and decoration
If you still feel a bit confused after reading my explanation, you can understand that the simplest difference between soft decoration and hard decoration is that if you turn the house upside down, the soft decoration will fall off, and the hard decoration will not fall off.
Home furniture, electrical appliances, curtain cloth, decorative paintings, etc. are soft decoration.
The sockets, doors and floor tiles in the house are very troublesome to replace. If they need construction, you can't take them away when you move. That is hard decoration.
Which is more important, hard or soft?
There is a popular saying in home decoration, "light hard decoration, heavy soft decoration". Many people understand this saying as light hard decoration is to save money on hard decoration. Is it true?
The so-called "light and hard decoration" in decoration means to avoid complicated design shapes and focus on simple and generous design. This is a design concept, not a decoration concept. Overall household soft decoration
The real meaning of light and hard decoration is that we should consider cost saving modeling design in design, not saving hard decoration money in construction. Remember that hard decoration money must not be saved, especially for concealed works in hard decoration.
How to allocate the limited decoration budget?
Some friends may have limited decoration budget, so how to allocate the money for decoration reasonably?
1. The refurbishment cost of hard decoration is very high
Hard decoration. In my articles, I have always stressed that concealed works must not save money, especially water, electricity and concealed works. If you do not finish the decoration in the early stage, and want to renovate in the later stage when there is a problem, the cost is very large. It costs money to dismantle, reinstall, and find a new house during renovation. Not only does spending money hurt people's nerves, so in the long run, when decorating, we must not save money on hard decoration, we must do a good job of hard decoration.
The decoration budget is limited, so we can "light hard decoration" to avoid complex shapes and suspended ceilings, and give priority to simple design. We should also leave the money saved by "light soft decoration" to hard decoration, and then slowly upgrade the soft decoration later. But remember, we should not use cheap decoration materials and construction techniques to save money on hard decoration
