0 experience+layman+practical manual for self-decoration.

I have worked for several years and haven't saved any money yet. I spent most of my time in Chengdu indulging in eating, drinking and having fun. Because I don't have much money, I can save every step of the decoration. I especially love to brag and pay attention to it. I don't want to reduce the quality of life and the beauty of the living environment because of money.

After some comparison, I decided not to spend extra money to hire a designer or find a decoration company. Design, find workers, supervise the work and even do it yourself. My major has nothing to do with decoration design. The basic personal situation of most residents is similar to mine. Please imitate the following contents for all residents.

Shell contour

From the above comparison, we can basically see the current style of my family, and then we will officially start to talk about the operation steps.

One: Make sure a few things before starting work.

1, what style do you prefer for home improvement? The direction of homework is related to your later selection of materials.

2. Is central air conditioning installed? Install fresh air system? Install floor heating? Install water purification equipment? Dishwasher? Is there a smart toilet (or cover)? -It is not easy to add these later stages. The sooner you decide, the better.

3. Does the local gas company allow open kitchens? Are gas pipes allowed to be buried underground? Does the residential property have uniform requirements for the color of doors and windows?

Second, make a budget.

I changed the table several times before and after making the budget, and the template I found online before was not very easy to use. Share the table I finally adjusted myself: divide the budget table into three.

The first table-labor and accessories. Including all projects involving labor and auxiliary materials to be purchased for this project. My "accessories" refer to cement river sand, ladders, jointing agents, tile glue and so on.

The picture above shows the horizontal arrangement of the table;

There are two ways to make vertical rows of a table: by space and by the order of items. I came in the order of entry, and the list is very long. I've deleted the details, and I'll show you some screenshots:

In the actual renovation process, some of them can be installed in one day without interference, so I made an appointment that day. The above picture is just a big category of vertical columns. You can find that my serial number has been marked above 100, so every green column is expanded, and there are more details below. Take hydropower transformation as an example, and look at the horizontal column and vertical column at the same time:

Does this watch look complicated? Complicated. Is it useful? Very useful. Because doing this list well can save me the extra task of project schedule management. The advantage of budgeting according to the order of entry is that you can look at this budget table at the same time and know what to prepare next and what to make an appointment.

The second is the main material. Including electrical appliances, switch sockets, floor tiles, paints, doors and windows, cabinets, lamps, hardware (faucet valves, showers, etc.). ).

The third one-soft clothes. If you put the house in 180, everything will fall.

The format of the second and third tables is almost the same.

According to: category-subcategory-product-brand and model-unit-quantity-unit price-total price of subcategory-remarks

The vertical columns are arranged in broad categories, such as electrical appliances, wall floors, doors and windows, all cabinets, lamps, sleeping systems, seats, storage, decoration and so on. Everyone can have their own classification habits.

* Make a budget, and you can start after buying a house and before handing it over. Ask for everything you like, then calculate the dosage and fill it in the form.

Based on Chengdu's price manpower level, share some common labor price references:

Demolition: 50~60 yuan/㎡.

Repair: Most of the second-hand houses and old houses need to be repaired, 20~25 yuan/㎡.

Tiling: 55~65 yuan/㎡, 10* 10cm small white brick needs extra money, so slotted brick is recommended.

Waterproof: 30~40 yuan/㎡ (refers to coating waterproof, not coiled material, which is cheaper).

Oil supplier: 30~35 yuan/㎡ (gypsum leveling+putty+painting).

I didn't hire a carpenter, and I didn't make TV walls or TV cabinets at home. The only work involved is to install fresh air air conditioning pipes and find a ceiling team to do it. The quotation is the project price.

Finally, I finished decorating this house myself, and the soft and hard clothes cost a little more than1.8000, of which the project cost involved because it is a second-hand old house is 1.9550, which is nearly 20000 yuan. So if you get a new house, you only need 1.6 million to decorate my house here.

Third, find the builder.

If you are looking for a contractor, you can skip this step. Of course, you should pay attention to finding a reliable contractor and make a fortune by it.

I also don't recommend looking for casual workers with brands at intersections or under bridges near the community. He said that and ran away, so you have nowhere to vent.

How did I find it:

In the internet circle, I know that some startups are doing workers' aggregation platforms, so I searched several (app search, Taobao search, web search, WeChat official account search ... the babies promised me that search should be everywhere) to see what certification and evaluation the platform provides, and then I found several big jobs (oil workers, bricklayers, etc.). ) make an inquiry in turn.

The second idea is Taobao. Taobao is amazing. I typed in "hydropower transformation" to locate Chengdu, and actually found a Taobao shop opened by an old plumber himself. Every item in it was clearly priced and the evaluation was very good. You can also add him to QQ to see the real photos of other customers' hydropower transformation in the space. Later, I made an appointment with the master to communicate, so I could finish it first, and then Taobao photographed the baby to pay. In a word, the actual effect is very satisfactory. Later, I followed this principle, paying all the money I can, never giving the money to the other party first, and at most prepaying it to Alipay for third-party custody. Here, thank Ma Ba for creating Taobao ~

The third idea is to find the upstream. For example, waterproof, I know that "Gaode" is a brand selling waterproof coatings, so I want to ask Gaode if he can be waterproof, and sure enough I am right! Moreover, the quotation is much cheaper than the construction team that changed hands, and it has a ten-year warranty. And the official certainly doesn't want to smash his own brand, so he did it exceptionally well. This idea can also be used to make ceiling plaster lines, but in the end, for budget reasons, I cut off the plaster lines. ...

In addition, most of the main materials you buy will be installed by sellers, or there will be long-term cooperative installers.

Do your own projects If time permits, I think most people, even girls, can complete the following projects. Not only increase the fun and memory of decoration, but also save money! 1, hydropower design should not think that professional drawing software must be used in hydropower design. You can use PS, any painting app, white paper and pen, and even chalk to draw on the walls and floors of the house.

Fourth, do-it-yourself projects

If time permits, I think most people, even girls, can complete the following projects. Not only increase the fun and memory of decoration, but also save money!

1, hydropower design

Don't think that hydropower design must use professional drawing software. You can use PS, any painting app, white paper and pen, and even chalk to draw on the walls and floors of the house.

Draw several icons, such as chandeliers, spotlights, switches, sockets, faucets, etc. On the floor plan, just mark the positions of lamps, sockets, basins, bathrooms, showers, etc. According to the furniture arrangement and living habits you conceived before. A good plumber will arrange the wiring according to the rules according to the position you marked (for example, the wires will walk vertically on the wall, not horizontally, and the water pipes will not reach the top).

Want to know more about lighting design, in addition to Zhihu, you can also go to the "Light of the Cloud" lighting school, and of course you can also see cases of taking good photos.

I put in a super unprofessional hydropower design. As it turns out, this is enough to communicate with workers:

2, fresh air and central air conditioning circuit design

Before doing this, everyone should learn some basic knowledge of Baidu, especially the new style, and distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of climbing to the top. You need to decide which one to use. There are many great gods in Zhihu who have introduced the design method of fresh air route in detail. I won't go into details. I'll search for it myself. In a word, at that time, I drew the following picture to communicate with the construction workers according to the difficult conditions of my house (in some places, holes can't be opened and pipes can't be taken), without any obstacles:

Later, I made a picture of the ceiling and communicated with the workers:

Of course, I will indicate the length, width and height dimensions under the picture, so I won't go into details here.

3. Install the switch socket panel

Generally, the labor cost is 4~6 yuan/set, and there are dozens at home, so I can finish it in one afternoon. Take the socket as an example:

Identification: the red line of the bottom frame is the fire line, the yellow line is the zero line, and the flower line is the ground line; The three holes on the back of the panel correspond to L hole-red line, N hole-yellow line and circular pattern hole-flower line respectively;

Cutting: Wear insulating gloves and cut the glue on the thread end with scissors or a knife to expose the copper core in the thread. If the thread left in the bottom box is too long, it can be cut shorter, generally 4~6cm is appropriate;

Connection: insert the copper core of each wire into the hole behind the corresponding panel, and then tighten the screw on the hole with a screwdriver to connect the wire with the panel;

Fixing: Hold the panel with both hands, press it horizontally and vertically into the wall hole of the bottom box, and the lines inside will naturally bend and fold. After pressing in place, fix both sides of the panel with four matching screws in turn.

Cover: Generally, it is a top plate buckle. You don't need tools. Just press it in the alignment position and hear a bang.

4. Water tank

I use the basin on the table, and the installation is very simple. As long as the size of the opening reserved in the cabinet is correct, it is almost effortless.

Steps: firstly, lift the sink and put it into the open table-install the faucet (the gasket is screwed under the faucet)-screw the water inlet hose to the cold and hot water outlet you reserved at the beginning-connect the drain outlet of the sink with the floor drain at home with the sewer pipe-start gluing after checking that the shape is correct (the joint between the sink and the table should be punched, and the joint between the drain outlet of the sink and the sewer pipe should also be punched)-24 hours later, open the faucet for inspection.

Besides, you can also install IKEA's Aygit series, whether it's a wardrobe, a rack in the laundry area or something, all you need is an impact drill and a screwdriver. You can also make beautiful tiles, self-leveling and decorative paintings yourself ... why not start later?

Fifth, recommend some hard packaging items with high cost performance.

The high-priced faucet is convenient for washing your hair, brushing your teeth and gargling, as long as it costs more than 300 RMB ~ English brands can be found on the picture.

With a glue gun of more than 40 yuan, it is easy and labor-saving, and all the door and window frames, wash basins, basins and toilets in the house are photographed. Search for "Mercedes-Benz" and you will find it ~

Simple, beautiful and sanitary switch panel;

100 yuan, KLJ Craighakri's new advanced touching spotlight.

Write it at the end

Self-decoration is a process of absorbing a lot of knowledge and learning independently. In addition to the above categories, when each project is going on, you need to consult the information related to this project. For example, when pasting tiles, you need to know the classification of tiles, the way of pasting, and the skills of judging and avoiding hollowing; For example, when you are in the ceiling, you need to know the famous domestic keel and gypsum board brands, material identification, ceiling installation technology and process specifications. ...

If you don't want to look up anything or remember anything by yourself, reading this article can't really help you.

This answer comes from living well with users, many decoration strategies and home experience. Welcome to the Life Good APP.
