However, villa decoration should be done by professionals, and we only need to do a good job of acceptance work. But before renovating, all homeowners still need to grasp the order of villa decoration, be aware of it, and avoid taking detours to avoid being deceived. Let's take a look together with the editor from Gao Gao International Decoration Company.
1、 Preparation stage for villa decoration
This stage is mainly the learning stage and the preliminary planning stage. It is necessary to accumulate a large amount of decoration knowledge, make a rough financial plan for each project, consult with family members to recommend a decoration commander-in-chief, and determine the approximate decoration style.
1. Storage of villa decoration knowledge
① Search online: Go to some professional home decoration websites, find a good home decoration experience exchange forum, and read netizens' home decoration diaries. These are valuable experience summaries.
② Seek advice from experienced friends: If you have friends, relatives, classmates who do decoration around you, or those who have experience in decorating houses, you can ask them for advice. Write down the problems or difficulties they encountered during the renovation, which may be the issues you need to pay attention to in your future renovation.
2. Determination of villa decoration style
Browse various styles of decoration renderings or visit a decoration company on-site to request a sample house, etc. In short, based on your inner needs, find a unified decoration style for yourself and your family.
3. Preliminary funding planning
① There should be principles: tailoring according to one's needs, living within one's means;
② For both hard and soft furnishings, make a rough plan for each item, such as how much the decoration company will spend on design, how much the hard furnishings will cost, how much the home appliances will cost, how much the furniture will cost, etc., all of which require a rough estimate.
2、 Room measurement and design phase
The most important mission of this stage is to establish one's own design plan, as well as the overall budget and future decoration mode.
1. Design proposal
Find a designer from a decoration company or independent studio, or determine the decoration design plan yourself. After these are confirmed, you need to have floor plans, construction drawings, water and electricity drawings, ceiling drawings, renderings, etc. For decoration renderings, as homeowners, we cannot just focus on how beautiful and cool the renderings are, and whether the hard decoration materials and soft decoration furniture on paper can be implemented. This is the most important thing.
2. Decoration budget
Home decoration generally has four major expenses
① Basic decoration, kitchen and bathroom equipment
② Furniture section
③ Decoration products
④ Household appliances: Generally speaking, decoration, kitchen and bathroom expenses account for 50% of the total cost, furniture accounts for 30%, and the rest accounts for 20%.
3. Decoration mode
At present, the most common decoration methods on the market are simply divided into three types: clean package, semi package, and full package. Everyone can choose according to their actual situation and needs.
① Cleaning: Cleaning, also known as cleaning workers, is the process where the owner purchases all the decoration materials themselves, and the decoration company is only responsible for the construction. Suitable for: Insiders who have a deep understanding of the decoration industry, ample time, and material procurement capabilities.
② Half package: The construction party is responsible for the construction and procurement of auxiliary materials, while the main materials such as tiles, flooring, and sanitary ware are purchased by the owner themselves. Suitable for consumers who have high demands for decoration design level and personalization, and have certain economic strength.
③ Full package: also known as labor and material package, which means that the procurement and construction of all materials are the responsibility of the construction party. Suitable for consumers who are busy with work or have no knowledge of decoration.
3、 Contract signing stage
The decoration contract is a constraint certificate for the quality of home decoration, as well as a guarantee to avoid disputes in home decoration. It is an important "weapon" for homeowners to protect their legitimate rights and interests. A good contract and budget list are the most important nodes for whether you can successfully complete the decoration. Therefore, when signing the decoration contract, you should attach great importance to it.
Generally speaking, the process of signing a decoration contract consists of the following 7 steps: ① Determine intention; ② Design confirmation; ③ Budget submission (no omissions in quantity or items are allowed, material list for contracting scope, agreed final accounts, etc.); ④ Total price confirmation; ⑤ Determine quality and negotiate schedule; ⑥ Payment; ⑦ Clear responsibilities and obligations of both parties; Liability for breach of contract; The signature shall come into effect.
4、 Decoration construction stage
This stage means that your home renovation has officially begun, and both physical and mental efforts need to keep up. Renovation is a painful yet joyful journey.
1. Civil engineering stage

5、 Installation stage of finished decoration products
Entering this stage means that your home renovation is coming to an end, and you are full of expectations and happiness for the overall presentation of your home.
Finished product installation mainly refers to: cabinet door installation, switch socket lighting installation, water treatment equipment installation, gas water heater installation, bathroom cabinet, basin installation, faucet, toilet, shower room, bathroom hardware installation, some furniture entry installation, curtain rod measurement installation. These installation steps may not be completely sequential, in short, the installation in the early stage will definitely make the home very dirty, such as drilling holes to install expansion screws for hardware, bathroom, etc.
Although it is almost over, we cannot relax our vigilance. There are still many areas that need to be noted during this stage.
① Before furniture enters the site, the following items should be prepared: disposable shoe covers, several boxes of activated carbon, ladders, and floor protective film.
② Prioritize the installation of complex furniture on site, especially those that require merchants to come and install them, and then move on to some simpler installations.
③ When entering, pay attention to protecting the floor and walls to prevent friction between them.
6、 Purchase household appliances and accessories
After the house decoration is completed, both soft furnishings and household appliances are essential, especially the selection of household appliances, which often requires a lot of time, energy, and financial resources; At the same time, the later stage accessories are the most important step to reflect the owner's taste and preference. If there are some mistakes in the decoration, you can also spend more time to make up for them in the later stage accessories.
