The difference between hard clothes and soft clothes in the house.

The "weight" here refers to decoration, not the degree of attention.

Since the so-called Nordic style became popular, the expression "light hard clothes and heavy soft clothes" and its variant "light decoration and heavy decoration" began to be widely known.

But don't get me wrong.

Especially "light decoration, heavy decoration", this sentence is very easy for people to look at the text and misinterpret the meaning it wants to convey. ?

? What exactly are soft clothes and hard clothes? ?

According to the current situation in China, hard fitting refers to the projects that must be completed in the decoration stage, and once completed, it will be difficult to change. Soft clothes are basically those things that move easily.

The formulation of soft and hard clothing is only a concept, and the distinction is not strict, so the classification of individual items also needs to be judged according to the situation, but the basis is basically "whether it can be moved".

Hard clothes and soft clothes are just like the relationship between human body and clothes. The human body must be healthy to move, and there are also differences in height. Clothes are warm and beautiful, sometimes they are worn too much, and sometimes they are worn less.

Wall surface: wall paint, wallpaper, ceramic tile, veneer, woodwork decoration and self-built partition wall. ?

Ground: ground, floor tiles and corresponding cement layer and waterproof layer. ?

Top surface: whole or partial suspended ceiling, decorative surface and concealed lighting. ?

Water, electricity and heating: water supply, drainage, circuit, gas, central heating pipeline layout, socket switch, radiator or floor heating, bathroom sanitary ware. ?

Customized furniture: customized cabinets, cabinets and hanging cabinets, customized immobile tables and flower racks. ?

Many times, we will count all the furniture in the bathroom and kitchen, such as toilets, bathroom cabinets and cabinets, as a whole.

Whole house appliances, large kitchen and bathroom appliances: fresh air, central air conditioning, floor heating, range hood, embedded household appliances, etc. ?

▲ Can the newly renovated kitchen achieve this effect without moving furniture?

Hard clothes are equivalent to laying a good foundation for the family, just like a person's figure and skin color. It will limit our choice of furniture, otherwise the whole house will look very uncoordinated.

? ▏ Soft clothes ▕?

Movable furniture and electrical appliances: sofas, finished wardrobes, beds, tables and chairs, etc. ?

Decoration: hanging pictures, ornaments, sculptures, plants, etc.

Fabric: curtains, carpets, bedding, etc.

Lamps and lanterns: It is more convenient to replace, so we will classify most lamps and lanterns as soft.

But some hidden immovable light bands will be counted in the hard clothes. ?

Wall paint wallpaper: Because it is easy to construct and refreshing, many soft-fitting designers will consider the possibility of replacing the wallpaper and repainting the wall paint when designing soft-fitting. ?

▲ A home that only uses soft clothes to support visual effects?

Soft clothes are equivalent to clothes and makeup at home. Different soft clothes will bring different feelings to the whole family, but just like people's dressing, we should take into account our own characteristics to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. ?

It's just that when we say "nice", we emphasize hard clothes and soft clothes. In the past few decades, everyone has been desperately piling up various decorative elements. The TV wall should be luxurious, the ceiling should be hung three times, the wall tiles of kitchen and bathroom should have waist lines and flowers, and the decoration style should be European, American and Chinese.

Instead, the furniture is moved back to the furniture city in the urban-rural fringe, and there is usually a strong worship of solid wood and leather. Whether it is good or not, all the tables and chairs are made of solid wood, and all the sofas are made of real leather (in fact, many of them are artificial leather).

As a result, a nondescript home was built. The decoration is "European" and the furniture is "Chinese", which is not very practical after a few years.

Many decoration companies will provide so-called free design, giving people a "look" beautiful renderings.

But the decoration company can only be responsible for the hard part, and the soft part needs to be purchased by itself, so the renderings become castles in the air, and the similarity can only be 50%.

In this environment, young people began to look for inspiration from abroad, and found that most foreign families looked simple in hard clothes, without complicated decorative elements, ceiling decoration and TV walls. Instead, I spent a lot of time on soft clothes, including furniture, paintings and trinkets. ?

So we all realize that hard clothes don't need too complicated decoration, because soft clothes are the way to make a home comfortable and beautiful. This has led to the trend of light hard clothing and heavy soft clothing.

In any case, the decoration quality cannot be light. The phrase "light decoration and heavy decoration" seems easy to misunderstand: decoration doesn't matter, as long as a home is well dressed.

This will bring endless troubles to the future life, and the hydropower project under renovation is a particularly important part of it, which should never be underestimated.

If the water pipe is not installed, it will leak; if it is not waterproof, it will leak downstairs. If the circuit quality is not good, it will be even more terrible, and it is very likely to damage electrical appliances and cause a fire. ?

Other recurring problems are even more annoying, and repairing them is particularly complicated and time-consuming. ?

Therefore, we also suggest that even in the case of tight budget, the budget of the decoration quality part must not be excessively compressed, and other cheap but good quality materials can be selected for replacement, and second-hand houses can be partially replaced.

As for furniture, you can start with basic furniture and gradually add it.

? Hard clothes and soft clothes can't be separated?

Although there is a difference between soft clothes and hard clothes, we are beginning to understand that a home needs a sense of wholeness.

When we start planning and decorating, we should consider the coordination of soft and hard clothes (and budget).

Hard-fitting injuries, such as indoor doors and doorframes with too prominent colors, unsatisfactory floors and complicated TV walls, can not be compensated by soft-fitting, but can only be coordinated, accommodated or concealed. ?

Sometimes, we deliberately use simple hard clothes to highlight expensive soft clothes; Sometimes, we deliberately set off some simple furniture with slightly complicated hard clothes. ?

But in any case, these should be under our control.

In addition to asking designers for help, in most home decoration, the decoration company can only be responsible for the hard-fitting stage. Therefore, we must have a global awareness. Even when choosing a floor tile and a cupboard in the early stage, we should consider matching it with the furniture in the whole home.

Therefore, we also suggest that we look at the furniture before the decoration, and don't buy a fixed model to facilitate the matching in the decoration stage. ?

Decoration will also make life more comfortable. There is obvious difference in comfort between the sofa with a price of 1000 yuan and the sofa with a price of 10000 yuan, which belongs to "tangible" consumption.

However, good decoration will also improve the comfort of life.

For example, there are enough sockets, reasonable switch positions, the easiest cabinet height, and some small details that ordinary people can't notice.

If it is only a simple "light decoration", then these problems may be ignored. Although there is no quality problem in use, it always feels uncomfortable. ?

Therefore, although we very much agree with the concept of "light hard clothes, heavy soft clothes", we must not relax the requirements for decoration.
