Don't be afraid of fate's tricks, be yourself

Today is April Fools' Day, but...

"Don't be afraid of fate's tricks; be the master of your own refinement." Even with a 5,000 yuan salary, I'm willing to invest in a refined lifestyle. Drinking coffee for over 30 yuan, carrying designer bags worth tens of thousands, getting a thousand-yuan gym membership, and even choosing custom-made furniture, I live a high-quality life from the inside out.

Funds are limited, so to live a good life you have to plan carefully.

Designer bags are high-priced fast-moving consumer goods, so it is especially important to control your desires and avoid being "overly refined"; gym memberships can be purchased in stages, and spring is the best time for fitness. After getting a gym membership to achieve weight loss effects, you can greet a brand new self with the arrival of summer, and you will feel more confident posting to your friends at this time. Such fitness is well worth the money; coffee and milk tea may seem like small things, but at 30 yuan a day, they cost nearly a thousand yuan a month, and drinking too much is also a burden on the body. You can choose to drink them while shopping on weekends.

Customized home furnishings are different from the above exquisite ones. They are related to home decoration and are more inclined to life. They have the characteristics of rationality, durability and stability. They have become the first choice of young people.

If customization is done well, life will be refined and worry-free. How to do customization well?

01. Demand

No one knows your home better than you do. To achieve your desired decorating results, you must first understand your own needs. Everyone is different, and every family has their own unique needs, let alone different homes. Therefore, before renovating, hold a family meeting to discuss everyone's decorating needs. Seek common ground while reserving differences, and try to accommodate any differences. If necessary, simply pass. For example, in a 60-square-meter house, I want a dressing room, and my husband wants a playroom. Honestly, separate dressing rooms and playrooms are unrealistic. For a small house, it's best to consider basic needs first, then individual needs.

02. Communication

The key to this communication is to present your family's unified opinions and needs to a renovation company or custom designer to explore potential solutions. After multiple rounds of discussion and comparison, you'll undoubtedly find the right fit. Don't be impatient or overly concerned at this stage; the more you understand and the more prepared you are, the easier it will be to navigate the next phase.

03. Material selection

When choosing a custom brand, everyone should think with underlying logic. "Living" is the core value of a home, and living comfortably is the best evaluation of it. It is normal to live in a home for decades, so the first attribute of the decoration materials is naturally "durability". The main material of custom home furnishings is board. Good board must have the stability to withstand the environment and time, including bending resistance, pressure bearing, dirt resistance, color change resistance, etc.

The second attribute is "health." Custom home furnishings use a lot of wood panels, so choosing greener, more environmentally friendly materials is crucial to maintaining a healthy living environment. We recommend choosing E0-grade or higher boards. When signing a contract, be sure to clearly specify the material selection details to protect your rights and avoid unnecessary disputes.

04. Production

After the materials and design are finalized, the production phase begins. This process is invisible to consumers, and we can usually only hear about it through brochures or other channels. For customized products, the most critical factor in production is equipment. Good equipment not only ensures product quality but also improves production efficiency. One advantage of choosing a custom brand is that their equipment is leading in the industry, so there is basically no need to worry about the quality of the workmanship. Secondly, due to their high production capacity and large sales volume, they view any personalized issues encountered as routine problems, allowing them to respond and resolve them more quickly, ensuring delivery within the agreed timeframe.

05. Acceptance

After a custom product is fully manufactured and installed, it must be carefully inspected. This primarily involves checking the cabinet's smooth exterior; the tightness of the cabinet's edge banding; the presence of scratches and rust on the hardware; and the smooth operation of the hardware. The cabinets themselves are securely assembled, and there are no assembly errors. Inspection is crucial for custom products, adhering to the principle of early detection and resolution, as these issues can be quite complex to resolve later.

If customization is done well, life will be refined and worry-free. I hope this article is helpful to you!
