Under the circumstances of a bad economic environment, the biggest taboo in decoration is that form > function. Over-decoration is a "disaster" for ordinary families. Next, we will clear the pitfalls that 90% of decoration novices will fall into. You won’t lose out by following this!

Chicken ribs group

We classify designs that have very low usage rates after installation as "useless" - they are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

1. Embedded decorative light strip



The decorative lights of custom cabinets are known as "beautiful waste". They can create a great atmosphere for taking photos, but they waste electricity if left on for a long time. They are useless except for taking photos and creating shapes. It is better to use a simple custom cabinet. According to the custom light strips, which cost 60-100 yuan/meter, and the transformer and labor costs of dozens of yuan, you can save thousands of yuan by not using this design!

There is no need for embedded light strips, custom cabinets in light colors with textured patterns or glass display cabinet doors can also be eye-catching!



2. Whole-house smart home





All home appliances can be controlled with just a few words or fingers, and the lighting, indoor temperature and appliances can be intelligently controlled. The futuristic home of elementary school composition has become a reality. However, after installing it, I found that the most common scene is to check the lights and air conditioners at home after going out. When decorating, you should also pay attention to the system wiring, and the range of choices for furniture and appliances is greatly reduced (you need to buy furniture with Bluetooth function). Abandon this design and save 40,000 yuan on home decoration!

Pure "expensive" group

From the decoration cost to the later maintenance, the owners are required to pay a high price. We have classified these designs into the purely "expensive" group. They may look good and may be useful, but we can definitely find "cheap alternatives"!

1. Fancy ceiling





This includes but is not limited to "well-patterned ceiling", "U-shaped ceiling", "embossed edge ceiling", etc. In order to create a design without main lights and pursue a sense of atmosphere, many families choose various Internet celebrity ceiling designs, which are expensive, easy to accumulate dust during use, and difficult to maintain.

2. Marble

Marble has always been a high-end material in the home decoration industry. It is very popular whether it is used as the main material or furniture decoration. However, the price of natural marble is generally very expensive, and there are many material suppliers, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false. In the later stage, it is necessary to carefully maintain it to avoid scratches on the surface of the stone. It can be said that you have spent a lot of money to invite a "grandfather" for your home.



At this time, you can actually choose rock slabs as a "substitute". There are many patterns to choose from, and the price can be much cheaper, making it the king of cost-effectiveness!

3. TV background wall



The most beautiful but unnecessary thing is the TV background wall. Families with sufficient budget can build a floating TV wall, add multiple materials, and the style of the whole living room will be improved immediately, which is also pleasing to the eye for daily living. However, for families who pursue cost-effectiveness and practical functions, the TV background wall can be appropriately simplified!





Minimalist white walls, TVs built into storage cabinets, artistic paint designs... You can come up with a lot of new ideas at an affordable price. By abandoning complex shapes and expensive materials, you can save thousands of yuan on TV background walls!

By this calculation, avoiding these excessive renovations can save tens of thousands of dollars!
