It takes some skills to control the cost and achieve satisfactory results.

First, the proportion of investment in home improvement

First of all, introduce the expenditure items of home improvement. Generally speaking, there are five major expenses for decorating rooms:

1, decoration part;

2. Kitchen and bathroom equipment;

3. Furniture part;

4. Household appliances;

5, decorations;

Now there are many opinions on how to allocate the proportion of these five parts in the total investment: decoration, kitchen and bathroom account for 50%, furniture accounts for 30%, and household appliances and others account for 20%. Others say that the investment ratio of decoration and furniture and household appliances should be between 1: 1 or 1: 2. In the end, I believe that due to different occupations, personalities and preferences, the proportion of consumers' investment in home improvement cannot be the same. However, consumers can take the proportion relationship recognized by everyone as the calculation basis for predicting the investment in home improvement and controlling the total expenditure of home improvement.

Second, the specific expenditure items of home improvement

By listing the specific expenditure items of home improvement, we can clearly know the details of the goods we need to buy. So we only need to go to the market to inquire about the price, and we can have a clear concept of the cost of home improvement. In this way, in the process of home improvement, we only need targeted control, then the total cost of home improvement will not exceed our expectations.

I. Decoration:

At present, the general family decoration includes: the part completed by the decoration company and the part purchased by the consumers themselves.

(a), the decoration company to complete the part:

Including: foundation decoration, design part and corresponding hydropower transformation costs.

1, foundation decoration:

For projects that must be rebuilt, this part only accounts for a small part of the total cost of renovation. Consumers generally do not know the total cost of decoration, and often like to bargain with decoration companies. Actually, this is not good. Generally, the prices of similar companies are not much different, so they tend to reduce prices and increase risks.

2. Design part:

A project that embodies style and taste. It is the soul of decoration, blindly increasing design projects is one of the important reasons for investment overruns, but without necessary clever design, the home will be unremarkable.

3, hydropower transformation:

Hydropower transformation, fewer new houses, more old houses, more old houses. The increase of design projects, especially the number of lamps on the ceiling, has a great impact on the cost. Some customers blindly add various switches and sockets, and the final cost is amazing, which is also one of the important reasons for the investment overrun.

At present, consumers only need to find several different types of decoration companies, and compare their quotations to determine the quotations suitable for their own companies.

(2) The part purchased by consumers themselves:

Parts purchased by consumers themselves include: floor materials, sanitary wares, lamps, switch panels, large and small hardware, cabinets, etc. Made of different materials, its value changes greatly, which is the most important reason for investment overruns. Reasonable investment in ceramic tiles, wooden floors, bathrooms, bathtubs, basins, cabinets and hardware plays a decisive role in the decoration budget. In this part, consumers really need to work hard to understand the market price of the main materials, and then determine the quantity according to the needs of home improvement.

Second, the furniture part.

Nowadays, the concept of "light decoration, heavy decoration" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and furniture has become the focus of home improvement. Appropriate furniture selection can increase the decorative effect and use function of the room, and reasonable price is also a guarantee that the total cost of home improvement will not exceed the standard.

Third, the home appliance part.

Home appliance industry is a very mature industry with high brand concentration, transparent market price and good service. Everyone has no concerns. Moreover, most consumers have brand loyalty, so the choice is relatively concentrated and the cost is relatively easy to control.

Fourth, decorations

Decoration includes many items, and its cost can be more or less, mainly determined by everyone's artistic accomplishment. Ornaments, especially fabrics, have a great influence on the overall effect after decoration. Coordinated colors will make people feel relaxed and happy, and a few minutes will make the room look different, and it will also bring a good mood. Therefore, we must work hard in this area, and appropriate expenditure will often get twice the result with half the effort.
