The most regret-prone design decisions in whole-house customization

The most common regrets come from rushing to finalize cabinet dimensions before plumbing and electrical layouts are set. If the sink and water supply/drainage, gas and outlet locations, and range hood exhaust path are not confirmed, problems will surface once the kitchen cabinets are installed (F29), and rework is the most frustrating. Another regret is choosing basic boards just to save money, only to start caring about environmental compliance and edge banding two years later. Basic kitchen cabinet configuration with E0 particle board cabinet body + PET door panel: Beijing 900–1,000 yuan/linear metre, Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou 765–850 yuan/linear metre; mainstream ENF particle board cabinet body + PET door panel: Beijing 1,020–1,250 yuan/linear metre, Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou 867–1,062.5 yuan/linear metre; upgraded ENF eco board cabinet body + PET door panel: Beijing 1,300–1,650 yuan/linear metre, Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou 1,105–1,402.5 yuan/linear metre.
