If you want to "get the best effect with the least investment" in decoration, my 60-year-old mother is definitely a master in this regard, which is admirable.
裝修成本確實難以預測，同一間100平方米的房子，你可能只需三五萬就能簡單裝點，也可能得花費五六十萬才能豪華裝修，這完全取決於你的經濟能力。
However, for most ordinary families, buying a 100 square meter house just needs, they do not want to just decorate simply, nor are they willing to spend all their money on luxury decoration, they want to create a living space that is both practical and comfortable, warm and elegant, while saving as much as possible, which is the most ideal situation.
This is what we call "achieving the best results with the least effort".
In this regard, the person I admire the most is my 60-year-old mother, who has renovated three houses and has a lot of experience, which is really admirable.
Mom summed up four reasons why she can save money and ensure the quality of the renovation during the renovation process, and each one is full of it"Great Wisdom"It is worth learning from.
Many people believe that finding acquaintances when decorating, such as distant relatives or close neighbors, can not only enjoy the acquaintance discount, but also make the work more meticulous and more assured, killing two birds with one stone.
In fact, anyone who is looking for acquaintances to decorate, there are few problems that do not occur, and you are embarrassed to raise objections to them, so you can only suffer silently by yourself.
You think that an acquaintance has given you a discount, but in fact he may have "slaughtered" you severely.
就像我的婚房是婆婆找樓下鄰居大叔裝修的，原本以為十多年的鄰居了，關係也不錯，不指望省錢就圖個省心省事，就談好硬裝全包23萬包給他了，說實話，這個價格並不低，別的裝修公司還沒報這麼多。
6 square meters of house, said good 0 months to complete, the result of procrastination 0 months before the start of the painter into the field, every time he urged him to say that other customers are urging to hurry up with the end of the construction period, the master will come to my house to work in two days, or that today the master is sick, tomorrow the master has something at home, let me understand him, anyway, it has been dragging.
The mother-in-law felt that they were all upstairs and downstairs neighbors, and she was embarrassed to keep urging them. In order not to delay the marriage, I re-found the whole house customization, wooden floors, doors, etc., and I thought I was looking for him to make half a package, but he was still unhappy, saying that the whole house customization we were looking for was expensive and not good, and all kinds of derogations.
Various problems were also found during the acceptance of the decoration, such as the uneven height of the installation of the same row of sockets, the obvious unevenness of the latex paint on the top of the wall, the non-centering of the lamps, and the forgetting of the curtain box.
This is the consequence of finding acquaintances to decorate.
My mother's approach is completely different, every time she renovates the house, she starts quietly, and she doesn't say this to her neighbors and relatives, so as not to have to find an excuse to refuse.
Mom will not choose a decoration company, after all, many decoration companies now have a really bad reputation, and there are many pits that cannot be prevented.
Before the decoration, the mother will go to the community by herself, and when she sees other people's homes being renovated, she will visit them, and leave her contact information when she meets a master with good craftsmanship, so that she can negotiate the price and make requests by herself.
Although there is no after-sales guarantee in this way, my mother thinks that as long as the work is done well in the early stage, it doesn't matter if there is after-sales or not? , she doesn't want to use after-sales.
It turns out that my mother is wise, and the masters she found are all good, and of course the wages are not cheap, but they are worth it.
My mother has always told me that women, whether they are at home or outside, sometimes have to say more "soft words".
Saying "soft words" does not mean that she is weak, but a kind of disguised grasping, she has relied on this way to pinch my father and me for so many years, every time we are called, we are all messing around and don't know tired, it's really great wisdom.
Mom said that this trick can also be used in decoration, and it is more useful to say "soft words" to the workers than to lose their temper.
The so-called "soft words" are not blindly hypocritical, but to say things that are nice and comfortable.
Mom said don't feel that if you are Party A, you are a level higher than the worker, and you should say more hard work, thank you, help and other similar words. Buy two bottles of ice water in summer, bring a cup of hot milk tea in winter, and occasionally invite them to eat at dinner It won't cost dozens of yuan, but the workers will remember your heart-warming little actions, and will help you solve a lot of small problems that you didn't find, and will not leave you with hidden dangers in decoration.
On the contrary, if you ignore them or even put pressure on them as Party A, then they don't need to be too nice to you. A kind-hearted master will do his own things well, and the rest will not matter, if you encounter a careful master may also leave you with a variety of hidden problems, and you will find them one by one after you move in, and then spend money on maintenance, time-consuming and laborious, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Mom said that we young people spend money is impulsive, and when we heard the sales introduction about how smart and tall a certain electrical appliance is, we immediately placed an order; When you see a piece of furniture that looks good, you can't help but want to move it home, but you often regret it after you buy it, which is impulse consumption.
Mom is already 60 years old, for spending money has its own set of theories, especially in buying large items, she sees that she likes will not immediately place an order but go home to calm down for two days, to see if she really likes it so much or needs it, if the heat drops down after two days, it means that you can consider it again, Mom said this is called "consumption cooling-off period".
For the cooling-off period for consumption, my mother also has an explanation, that is, it will not give the sales a feeling that you "have to do it", and you can pull back and forth on the price to facilitate bargaining. I have to say, it's really a master of spending money.
Mom likes to surf the Internet, but when decorating the house, she doesn't like to refer to the Internet celebrity designs shared by those so-called Internet celebrity bloggers.
We all know that as long as it is related to Internet celebrities and popularity, it will not be too cheap in price. Young people like to follow the trend and will pay for Internet celebrities, while my mother doesn't like to follow the trend, she thinks that the popularity of the moment will become a thing of the past, and only the classic and suitable for yourself is the best.
Written at the end: decoration is like a bottomless pit, it not only consumes your wallet but also consumes your energy, if you want to spend the least money, do the best thing, it still depends on some "little wisdom", in this regard, the elders are more experienced than us, not convinced.
