0 1 decoration should be budgeted first.
Believe me, if you just go through the formalities of buying a house and rush to the building materials market, you will definitely be poured cold water. The way to visit the building materials market will be discussed later. But visiting the building materials market should definitely not be the first step of decoration.
Decoration is actually like visiting a supermarket. No purpose. I just want to go in and buy some food. I want it when I see this, and I want it when I see that discount. In the end, I will definitely spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of things I don't have. I forgot what I wanted at first.
Moreover, making a good shopping list before entering the supermarket can not only avoid missing things, but also effectively avoid shopping indiscriminately, and the efficiency of visiting the supermarket will also be improved.
Decoration is the same, the whole process is constantly spending money, so we must make a good plan at the beginning: how much will a * * * cost, and then refine it to how much each part can cost.
In this way, I can have a bottom in my heart, and then I can go straight to the subject no matter what I do, and I don't need to waste my time on things I can't afford or look down upon.
The preliminary budget need not be too detailed.
Many budget tables popular on the internet are too detailed, and the main materials and auxiliary materials are listed separately, which makes ordinary people feel silly at first glance.
These budget tables are actually for designers or decoration companies, and are not suitable for ordinary people to make the first preliminary budget when they just buy a house.
I think the budget should be done twice:
Do it once after you get the house. This is called a preliminary budget.
Designers or decoration companies give detailed budgets, and there are too many projects, so they need to have an extreme understanding of the decoration market. A decorated white is not suitable for independent accounting when he just bought a house.
I don't know anything about the decoration market, just like I don't know a few unknowns in the math exam, and knowing the formula won't count.
X+Y=Z, x, y, z are all unknowns, and this arithmetic can't be done at all.
The function of the preliminary budget is to remind yourself how much money you can spend.
The function of detailed budget is to quote in detail before decoration, where and how to spend the money.

Budget is subtraction, not addition.
A lot of online budget tables have been added, and the budgets of small projects are added together to get the total budget.
But there are too many uncertainties to control the total budget, so it is better to do the opposite.
Let's look at the family assets first and estimate how much decoration expenses we can afford. This fee needs to include decoration, furniture and electrical appliances.
Then compare it with the online "decoration calculator" to see if your budget is below, flat or above average, so that you probably have a preliminary concept.
Many websites' decoration calculators need to input phone numbers to give results, so we should pay attention to protecting the privacy of personal information.
Estimated total price
For example, I can spend 500 thousand on decoration, but that's enough.
According to the normal mid-range practice, plus furniture and electrical appliances only need 300 thousand, then I can consider saving 200 thousand.
On the contrary, I only have a budget of 654.38 million, but I want to do something very high.
After comparison, I found that 6.5438 million yuan can only achieve a very basic effect, so I have to re-examine my own needs and even see if I need to postpone my renovation plan.
According to our experience, the decoration cost per square meter 1000~ 1500 (excluding furniture and electrical appliances) belongs to the medium budget and can achieve the middle-end effect.
If you have friends and neighbors who have recently renovated, you can visit them as a reference.
In view of the frequent changes in decoration materials and labor costs, the quotation made a few years ago is of little significance.
Leave room
The budget ceiling is too tight to deal with emergencies.
Decoration time is too long, and there are many details, so the idea will inevitably change. Therefore, we need to set aside another 20% of our budget for backup.
I am not satisfied with the effect of a certain place. I want to make it better. Coincidentally, I like a piece of furniture that is over budget but I can't put it down. I can only cope with this 20% profit.
For example, the previous total price was 300,000 yuan, leaving a margin of 20%, so the initial budget for the actual decoration is 30 (1-20%) = 240,000 yuan.
In other words, be prepared to spend 240 thousand (although it is cruel to say so, how to spend it is also a skill) The remaining 60,000 yuan, save as much as possible. If you can't save it, you won't eat dirt.
Just like playing poker, the total price you can bear is the card. Don't show it easily until it is necessary.
Separate project
After the total budget is listed, subtraction is needed.
The first step is to confirm whether to hire a designer.
I'm talking about a professional and dignified designer, not those sluts who draw free designs outside.
These designers earn design fees per square meter. For example, a designer who charges 100 yuan/fee may charge 10000 yuan.
After deducting the design fee, the remaining 230 thousand is the decoration budget given when communicating with the designer.
Designers can help you make a complete budget including decoration and furniture, and also give advice on electrical appliances (refer to the service scope of different designers).
He will help you choose furniture and electrical appliances, and ensure that the final money is around 230,000 (if the owner does not change the demand indiscriminately).
2.2:1golden ratio
If you don't ask the designer to find a decoration company directly, you need to go one step further:
Most decoration companies are not responsible for furniture and electrical appliances, so they should set aside money to buy furniture and electrical appliances.
I consulted several designers and they all gave this ratio:
2:2: 1
They are the budgets for decoration, furniture and electrical appliances.
Take 240,000 as an example, that is 96,000 for decoration, 96,000 for furniture and 48,000 for electrical appliances.
Then the decoration budget reported to the decoration company at that time was 96,000 yuan.
Of course, this ratio does not need to be rigidly adhered to, and can be flexibly adjusted according to your own needs.
For example, I don't think it's necessary to buy all the furniture, but the fresh air must be installed, so the decoration cost can rise to1.2000, because in addition to the fresh air itself, it is necessary to make a ceiling to cover the pipeline, and the corresponding cost will also rise.
The cost of furniture can be reduced to 72,000 accordingly.
Second-hand houses need to be demolished, but some areas do not need to be demolished, and the decoration budget can be adjusted appropriately.
Drill down to the project
Only half a package (only labor+accessories). If you buy the main materials yourself, you can go to the decoration company to make an inquiry first.
After deducting the construction cost from the decoration cost, the rest is the price of the main material.
Some items have different understandings, such as refrigerators, which can be included in hard clothes or soft clothes. This is not important, just distinguish it in the budget.
The expenses in this budget table are changing. You can check the price of a treasure first, fill it in the table item by item, and initially calculate the budget.
According to the preliminary form, you will probably know how your money will be spent.
Some customized products, such as windows and customized cabinets, need to be quoted according to the situation, leaving blank first.
For example, after calculating all the materials that can find the price online, there are still 20 thousand left, so this 20 thousand will be distributed evenly to the whole cupboard and wardrobe at home.
After that day, I went to the wardrobe store with a budget of 20 thousand. When I found that 20 thousand yuan was not enough, I either squeezed out the budget from other places or used 20% of the reserve fund.
According to the complexity of the budget, it can be understood as a professional designer
