With people's pursuit of quality of life getting higher and higher, many people's consumption concept of decoration has changed, and the demand for decoration has changed from "enough house to live" to "comfortable living"; However, most people buy houses with relatively compact areas. If they want to live comfortably, they should make good use of the space and match all the details. Decoration is only once or twice in a lifetime. I believe many people will not have experience in space design. If you want to make the house design more reasonable and comfortable, you naturally have to hire a designer. So how much decoration budget can designers control?

1. How much does the design cost account for the decoration budget?

For ordinary home decoration, it is reasonable that the proportion of design fee to decoration budget can be 5- 10%. For example, if you want to decorate with high quality, the design fee of1-30 thousand is reasonable. If it is a luxury decoration, if the decoration budget is more than one million, the designers hired at this time should be high-level, and the design fee can account for 20%, which is more reasonable; On the contrary, if it is only 500-65438,000+10,000 yuan and you want to decorate it simply, there is no need to pay extra for a designer.

2. What is the designer's charging standard?

Different designers will have different design fees. Like a designer who just entered the business, the design fee may be around 30-50 yuan/㎡.

The unit price of a designer with a better general level is 100-300 yuan/㎡. For example, my own design fee is in this range. If it is an off-site online design, the low cost without running the site can also be 100 yuan/m2, which is suitable for netizens who can't find designers in remote areas.

In some cities with high consumption level, the unit price of qualified designers may be 500-800 yuan/㎡; However, those well-known master designers in China generally spend more than 2,000 yuan/m ㎡, which the average person can't afford.

3. What is the value of the design fee?

① Style control (renderings)

"The background wall is not good-looking, what if the sofa is too ugly?" -Like the problem of overturned decoration style, fans come to me for help every month. If you come to me after such decoration, I am usually helpless. If you don't want to subvert the style, please hire a designer before the decoration and make a good design plan first. If you don't like the style, you can adjust it in time.

Designers can help you control the decoration style and avoid overturning in such a general direction. When buying furniture, you can also ask the designer first to avoid knocking it over.

② Space utilization (layout)

In a family, the area of each space is large and small. If decorated according to the original family, the master bedroom is spacious or even luxurious, and other bedrooms are crowded. Designers can balance the utilization of each space through reasonable space planning, and improve the practicality and comfort of the space.

(3) material selection help (main material list)

When buying decoration materials, if there is no design scheme, you may just choose whichever one looks good. Every material was beautiful when I chose it, but it turned over when I moved home and put it together! If we buy materials, we can have a list of main materials compiled by designers for you;

Then you can sit in the right position when you buy decoration materials!

(4) the construction is not blind (construction drawing)

The design scheme made by professional designers will have detailed and comprehensive construction drawings, and the construction drawings will be marked with dimensions and materials, so the decoration workers don't have to follow their feelings.

⑤ Detail size (furniture size drawing, water and electricity drawing)

Nowadays, there are more and more devices that need water and electricity for home decoration, such as smart toilets, electric curtains and sweeping robots. These devices are installed in a compact location, and the socket may not be used if you are not careful. Professional designers will mark these details in furniture size drawings, water and electricity drawings and other positions when making plans. , so that decoration workers do not have to blindly guess the location.

4. Can I ask for "free design"?

You can't have it!

A set of serious design plans, including renderings, construction drawings (40-60), main materials list and other drawings, requires designers to work overtime for at least half a month, plus the time for design and communication, and a set of design plans requires at least one month. If the design is free, do designers eat dirt?

Of course, you will feel that it is normal to give the construction package to the decoration company for free design!

At this point, the "free design" given to you by the decoration company is just a floor plan. At this time, signing a contract will give tens of thousands of project funds! Then the question comes again:

(1) sign a construction contract, there is only one floor plan. How to calculate the decoration quotation? Not afraid of the fare increase routine?

② If you are not satisfied with the design made by the designer of the decoration company, can tens of thousands of project funds be refunded?

I have customers stepping on the above two pits, and the losses are heavy!

"Free design" has always been a criticism of the decoration design industry. These decoration companies, which can't get the orders, use "free design" to attract unsuspecting customers, and as a result, they cheat customers with various routines, resulting in a worse reputation in this industry.

If you have higher requirements for the quality of life, you might as well spend some budget to hire a professional designer when decorating. On the one hand, it can make the space design more practical and beautiful, on the other hand, it can avoid unnecessary losses caused by renovation and rollover.
