Unafraid of fate's tricks, refined and in control of one's own destiny.

Today is April Fool's Day, but...

"Undeterred by fate's tricks, I take charge of my own refined lifestyle." Even with a salary of 5,000, I'm willing to invest in my own exquisite life. I drink coffee costing 30+ yuan, carry designer bags worth tens of thousands of yuan, get a gym membership costing thousands of yuan, and choose custom-made furniture, living a high-quality life from the outside in.

With limited funds, one must plan carefully to live a good life.

Designer bags are high-priced, fast-moving consumer goods, so controlling your desires is especially important; avoid being "overly refined." Gym memberships can be purchased in stages. Spring is the best time to exercise. After getting a gym membership and achieving your weight loss goals, you'll be ready to welcome a refreshed version of yourself as summer approaches. You'll also feel more confident posting on social media then, making your fitness efforts worthwhile. Coffee and milk tea may seem like small things, but at 30 yuan a day, that adds up to nearly a thousand yuan a month. Moreover, drinking too much of them can be a burden on your health. You can choose to drink them while shopping on weekends.

Customized home furnishings differ from the above-mentioned exquisite styles. They are related to home decoration, lean more towards lifestyle, and are characterized by rationality, durability, and stability. Currently, they have become the first choice for young people.

A well-done customization brings a refined and carefree life. How do you create a successful customization service?

01. Requirements

No one knows your home better than yourself. To achieve your desired renovation results, you need to understand your own needs first. Everyone is different, and every home has the individual needs of its family members. Therefore, before renovating, hold a family meeting to discuss everyone's needs, find common ground while respecting differences, try to meet all requirements, and discard anything that's truly unacceptable. For example, in a 60-square-meter apartment, I might want a walk-in closet, while my husband wants a game room. Frankly, neither a separate walk-in closet nor a separate game room is realistic. For a small apartment, it's more appropriate to prioritize essential needs first, and then consider individual preferences.

02. Communication

The main communication here involves taking your family's consensus and needs to a renovation company or a custom brand designer to discuss potential better home decoration solutions. After multiple rounds of communication and comparison, you'll surely find one that suits you. At this stage, don't be impatient or find it troublesome; the more you know and the more thorough your preparation, the easier the next stage will be.

03. Material Selection

When choosing a custom furniture brand, everyone should think about it from a fundamental perspective. "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 decoration materials is naturally "durability". The main material of custom furniture is board, and good board must have the stability to withstand the environment and time, including bending resistance, pressure resistance, stain resistance, and color change resistance.

The second attribute is "health." Custom-made furniture uses a large amount of wood-based panels, so it's essential to choose more environmentally friendly materials to ensure a healthy living environment. We recommend choosing panels with an E0 grade or higher. Note that when signing the contract, you should specify the details of the selected materials to protect your rights and avoid unnecessary disputes.

04. Production

Once the materials and design are finalized, the production phase begins. This process is largely unseen by consumers; we usually only hear about it through brochures or other channels. For customized products, the most crucial element is the equipment. Good equipment not only ensures product quality but also improves production efficiency. One advantage of choosing a customization brand is that their equipment is among the best in the industry, so quality is generally not a concern. Furthermore, due to their high production capacity and sales volume, any personalized issues they encounter are considered routine and can be resolved more quickly, guaranteeing on-time delivery.

05. Acceptance

After all custom-made products are manufactured and installed, a thorough inspection is essential. This includes checking the cabinet's appearance for flatness; the tightness of the edge banding; the absence of scratches or rust on the hardware, and ensuring smooth operation; and verifying the sturdiness of the cabinet assembly, checking for any assembly errors. Proper inspection is crucial for custom-made products; early detection and resolution are key to avoiding significant problems later.

A well-done customization brings a refined and hassle-free life. Hopefully, this article will be helpful to you, the discerning individual!
