Is a custom wardrobe too expensive? Understand these 3 key points and save thousands of dollars without wasting money
When decorating a new house, many people will choose to customize the wardrobe, because customized cabinets can make better use of space, not only can meet the needs of family members, but also relatively worry-free. However, some details still need to be clarified by yourself, so as not to waste money and save a lot of money. Pay attention to these three points.
️Point 1: Custom wardrobe panels
1. Board
If your budget is limited, you can choose imported particle boards or multi-layer solid wood boards for your wardrobe, which are relatively environmentally friendly and safer to use.
2. Edge banding of boards
In addition to the wardrobe materials being environmentally friendly, the edge sealing of the boards is also very important. If the edge sealing is not good or there is degumming, the wardrobe cannot be signed for. Not only will it affect the aesthetics, but such a wardrobe will also release more formaldehyde over a long period of time, which is particularly harmful to the human body.
3. Wardrobe accessories
The hardware of the wardrobe must be selected with good quality, otherwise it will easily cause smooth pushing and pulling, or even fall off after long-term use.
You can choose and purchase the drawers and mirrors for the wardrobe yourself, and then pay a technician to install them. By purchasing all the accessories for several wardrobes at home, you may be able to save thousands of dollars!
Point ️2: The layout of the wardrobe space should be reasonable
1. When customizing a wardrobe, you should communicate with the designer in advance and plan the size of each functional area according to your needs. At the same time, you need to understand one thing: hanging area> stacking area> drawer area> top space area.
2. In order to avoid the loss of small clothes due to random stuffing, you need to design a drawer area to place some underwear, socks, etc. If the wardrobe does not have a drawer area, you can put some drawer-type storage boxes to make full use of the space.
3. The cabinets reach the ceiling to make full use of the wardrobe and increase the storage space, which also solves the cleaning trouble of dust on the top of the wardrobe in the future.
Point 3: Things to note when accepting
When inspecting a custom wardrobe, first observe its appearance to see whether the surface of the board is flat and whether there are bubbles. If it is not flat or has bubbles, it is likely that inferior board materials are used and inferior products are passed off as good ones.
Let's look at the firmness. First, the firmness of the wardrobe as a whole. If the overall structure is not firm, not only will the service life be affected, but it may also shake and fall. Second, the firmness of the details. If the details and accessories are not firm, the function of the wardrobe will be affected, which is not conducive to daily life.
