If you're in a rush to renovate, don't miss out on the essentials of interior design!

During Chinese New Year, people tend to spend money more lavishly, especially on food. For example, when hosting guests, the price of groceries can be one or two times higher than usual. Even so, fresh vegetables are snapped up quickly; if you hesitate even for a moment, the vegetables you want will end up in someone else's bowl. Not being able to buy them spoils the New Year's mood, making it even more uneconomical. Therefore, when buying groceries during the New Year, people generally buy what they like immediately, making it a genuine necessity. Home renovation is also a necessity, especially the hard furnishings. Even if material prices rise, you still have to buy them; good materials are inherently expensive. Buying good materials now ensures a more comfortable life later, and the money invested in hard furnishings is generally proportional to the cost.


With prices soaring these days, renovation costs are rising year by year, so it's always a good idea to follow the principle of "renovate early, enjoy early".


[Worried about being ripped off during the renovation process, I read a lot of anti-rip-off notes] which were really helpful! But they require so much time and effort!

Here's a very simple and straightforward method: set aside a day to visit a building materials market to get a general understanding of the materials. Then, do further research online, including for branded products. For example, you can check out our board products and customized home furnishing products on the TBB website (you can also find them in the product center at the bottom of our WeChat menu). Most branded products have dedicated stores, so after deciding on a brand, it's a good idea to visit a store to see the actual products for added peace of mind. (Reply "dedicated store" to find TBB's dedicated stores.)


Home renovation is characterized by large-scale, numerous, and niche projects (most people only do it once or twice in their lives). Therefore, most people either rely on experienced individuals for guidance or venture out on their own. However, the nature of the renovation industry often leads to limited service levels and difficulties with after-sales support, resulting in numerous frustrating experiences. For example, the quality of building materials is difficult for ordinary consumers to assess; materials may seem fine initially, but their flaws may only become apparent over time.


For example, with wood panels, even using all our senses, we can only judge the surface. A smooth surface and no obvious gaps on the sides are good, but for veneer panels, even with uniform color, it's difficult to go deeper. When a carpenter builds cabinets on-site, we can observe the quality of the panels from the scraps. Inferior panels often contain bark, gaps, or other miscellaneous fillers. However, it's too late then; the cabinets are already finished, so why would they be disassembled? Nowadays, custom-made furniture is popular, and all materials are edge-sealed, so scraps are no longer visible. The construction site is clean, but the materials seem less transparent. Therefore, I've always advocated paying attention to the materials used when choosing custom furniture. TBB Custom is a good choice. This isn't just self-praise; TBB uses TBB panels, and good panels make good cabinets.

The hard decoration process can generally be broken down into materials. Strict requirements on materials can control the quality of decoration from the source. Sometimes, although the appearance may not be fashionable, the core is as solid as a rock, able to withstand the test of time, and protect our most cherished family and loved ones.
