Home decoration,

There are always many things.

When the house is renovated,

I wish I could take a leave and stay at home to watch

I'm afraid I installed something wrong.

Or something is wrong?

So, what about home decoration?

Should I decorate first or buy wooden doors first?

The traditional approach is to decorate first!


Many people may ask, "How can I buy wooden doors when I haven't finalized my renovation plan yet?" Many believe that renovations are all about the overall style, and buying wooden doors shouldn't be rushed. Wooden doors are meant to complement the overall style, and changing them is much easier than changing the style. Furthermore, wooden doors can be custom-made to suit your personal preferences.

Traditional home renovations involve renovating first and then buying wooden doors. After acquiring a house, workers first perform plumbing and electrical work, paint the walls, and lay the tiles. Once these works are complete, wooden doors can be selected. During the post-construction period, while the house is airing out, there's ample time to browse stores and select wooden doors.


But now many decoration companies and designers,

The new decoration model advocated--

"Order the wooden door first and then decorate it."

Post-decoration does not mean starting work after buying wooden doors.

But before starting work,

First decide on the style, color, size and price of the wooden door.

Then ask the designer to make other designs based on the wooden door.

Such as the color of the wall, the pattern of the floor,

Tiles laying, etc.

What are the benefits of doing this?



Benefit 1: Helps to accurately grasp the style

Most of the "prospective decorators" actually do not have much decoration experience, nor do they have a clear design idea. Many people only learn some basic knowledge from newspapers, the Internet or other people's homes, and only take the floor plan when communicating with the designer. This leads to the designer's inability to understand your preferences well, and they just continue their original design style. Some even directly apply the original plan to the decoration.

Choosing a designer after you've already chosen your wooden doors is a different story. You can take your designer to see the wooden doors you like first and tell him the dimensions. This way, the designer can understand your preferred style through the wooden doors and integrate them into his design, unifying the overall style of your home. The designer can also make some changes to the room layout based on the dimensions of the wooden doors, so you don't have to give up certain wooden doors just to suit the design style.


Benefit 2: Reduce unnecessary expenses

Choosing the right wooden doors first is an effective way to control renovation costs. Anyone who's renovated knows that the final design often exceeds the original budget. This is because the renovation process often involves unforeseen additional costs, which naturally increase labor and material consumption, extending the construction time and increasing costs. By choosing wooden doors, you've already spent a significant portion of the renovation budget, and the basic layout has been determined, avoiding unnecessary additional costs.

There are also many people who spend a lot of money on decoration, but find that they are short of money when buying furniture. They can only buy some cheap wooden doors that do not match the decoration style. The overall feeling of home decoration is extremely inconsistent.


Benefit 3: Save time, effort and worry

Home furnishing markets are all about the house. While browsing for building materials, you can also look at wooden doors. If you find something that suits you, you might as well order it. This not only helps the designer find a target, but also reduces the number of visits to the building material market, saving time and effort. Since production and transportation take time, ordering wooden doors before renovations means they can be delivered right after renovations are complete, saving you at least two weeks of moving time. Why not?


What needs to be emphasized here is that deciding on a wooden door does not mean you have to buy it immediately. Instead, you just need to determine the style, color, size, shape, and price. As for specific brands, you can compare them slowly until you find a product that satisfies you.
