Introduction

As the trend of consumption downgrade becomes more universal, everyone has begun to be more careful about their expenses, and decoration is no exception.

In addition, the economic strength of young people does not seem to be as good as that of previous generations, so their consumption is more rational.

Young people are increasingly pursuing economy and practicality in decoration. They are no longer overly pursuing luxurious and impractical designs, but rather designs that are more in line with their life needs.



This kind of decoration idea makes me, a person of the older generation, admire the ideas of young people. After all, these are ways of saving that I could not have thought of.

So what kind of decorations are young people "surprised" by?

The balcony is not enclosed, enjoy the open space.

When I was a child, when the house was being renovated, the balcony had to be enclosed.

But at that time, after the balconies were encapsulated, they were mostly left empty or used to grow flowers and plants.

But young people nowadays are different. Many young families choose not to enclose the balcony when decorating their homes.

This openness is convenient and practical, and it also costs a lot less.

The balcony can be used to dry clothes, grow flowers and plants, or as a storage room. Some young families even turn the balcony into a leisure space.

This makes it more convenient to use the space, and when it's warm, you can sit on it to enjoy the scenery and drink tea.



Even young people who rent a house may choose not to enclose the balcony. They may use the balcony as a small study room or gym.

Enclosing the balcony will only make the house more crowded. Making the most of a small space is the most economical and trendy option.

What’s more, it is even more heartbreaking to remove the encapsulated balcony, because not only does it cost money to encapsulate it, but it also wastes time and energy to maintain it.

The clothesline becomes minimalist.

Traditional families usually choose a clothes drying rack with a more complicated design to dry clothes.

However, such a design is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also takes up a lot of space. Therefore, in today's society that advocates simplicity, this design is naturally no longer popular.

Instead, it is replaced by a clothesline with a minimalist design, which not only saves time, effort and space, but is also highly safe.

When you need to use it, just pull out the clothesline, hang the clothes on it, and you can use it normally.

When not in use, you just need to fold up the clothesline, which is extremely convenient.

More importantly, this minimalist clothes drying rod is much cheaper than the traditional design, and you can save money by lying flat!



There is no sofa in the living room.

How can you live without a sofa in your living room?

What a big taboo this is! "Bad waist, bad legs, bad heart", "Which planet did you come from if you don't put a sofa in your living room?"...

I have heard a lot about the living room cannot be without a sofa since I was a child, so what do you put instead?



Of course, light and space-consuming sofas cannot be used. Instead, light and space-saving benches and chairs can be used. There is no need to worry about the sofa taking up too much space for activities.

So much so that we simply cannot get over this hurdle in terms of the concepts we have been exposed to since childhood, and are surprised to see young families only have benches and chairs instead of sofas in their living rooms.

Some elderly people even think that the living room cannot be used as a place to entertain guests, which is really frustrating.

In fact, it is not unreasonable to not put a sofa in the living room. Can't it be used as a place to entertain guests?

Is there any problem with putting a bench chair?

Even if there is a large space for activities, I am not living there!



Of course, these are mostly what the elderly think. Some guests are not so particular when they visit, but more people are still concerned about the problem of young people not having a sofa in their living room out of politeness.

And now many young people have their own cars, so we can’t always ask relatives and friends to take the bus!

So there is another situation where they come early to help you buy groceries and cook. If there is any good food to liven up the mood, you should always treat them!



In fact, can we entertain guests if there is a sofa, but cannot entertain guests if there is no sofa?

After all, as a hostess, it would be a sin if you don't entertain well!

The reason why young people choose not to use sofas is not only because of considerations such as space and price, but more importantly, the living room is a place for family members to chat, entertain, and relax. It is a space that should be enjoyed and regarded as one's own, not a high-end place to entertain outsiders.

There are no wall cabinets in the kitchen.

The kitchen is where we mainly stay to do housework, so we pay more attention to simplifying the decoration and practicality.

But in the past, many families would choose to install kitchen cabinets in the kitchen as storage spaces so that ingredients, tableware, and cooking utensils would have a place to store, while also making the kitchen look tidy and beautiful.

But there is a big problem here, which is that it is very troublesome for housewives to open and close the cabinets every day. Sometimes, there are still greasy stains on their hands after just finishing cooking, and they have to open the cabinets to get things, which is very troublesome.

And there is another problem. Once the cabinet is installed, it cannot be moved. You either have to leave it open or ask a professional to dismantle it. Even so, some traces will be left.

Nowadays, young people choose not to install wall cabinets in the kitchen. This not only avoids the problems mentioned above, but also saves money. More importantly, they can make changes to the kitchen at will without being restricted by cabinets.

Not only that, many young families go a step further and remove the cabinets, and directly use storage methods such as shelves and hooks. This not only allows them to change the kitchen layout at will, but also allows them to experience the beauty brought by different styles as they wish.

Choose a shower curtain for the bathroom.

To separate the shower area and the washing area in the bathroom, you can choose glass partitions or shower curtains. The former not only increases the decoration cost but also reduces the practicality of the space, so more and more people now choose the latter shower curtains to separate them.

The shower curtain is not only beautiful, but also has excellent anti-mist performance. You only need to draw the shower curtain before taking a shower to avoid water splashing.



And the glass partition will become less beautiful due to time after long-term use, but the shower curtain only needs to be cleaned regularly to keep it clean, it will not look uncomfortable, and will not leave dirt!

Moreover, some shower rooms do not have shower heads, but instead use a canopy that can be zipped up to separate the shower area from the washing area. This method can save a lot of decoration costs.

Wardrobe becomes metal.

Traditional wardrobes are made of wooden boards. Although they look beautiful, they require high technical skills. Moreover, wood is becoming increasingly scarce, so traditional wooden wardrobes are becoming increasingly expensive.

This is really a big problem: how to choose between the inability to meet demand and high costs?

Metal wardrobes came into being. Not only do they have lower technical requirements, but China itself has sufficient iron ore reserves.

Therefore, many young people choose metal wardrobes when decorating their homes. This type of wardrobe can not only save space to the greatest extent, but also meet storage needs. More importantly, it is made of metal, which makes it have higher strength, not easy to deform or damage, and more wear-resistant.

Conclusion

Nowadays, economic pressure is generally high, and people tend to live comfortably, and the same is true for their home environment. Therefore, modern people's money-saving decoration has brought us surprises.
