Conversely, some designs felt redundant at the time but prove genuinely satisfying once you move in.

For the mainstream configuration of sideboards, the overall reference range is 400–800 yuan/㎡ in Beijing and 340–680 yuan/㎡ in Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou; for the mainstream configuration of tatami, the overall reference range is 500–1,100 yuan/㎡ in Beijing and 425–935 yuan/㎡ in Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou. In terms of pricing, custom wardrobes are calculated by projected area and custom kitchen cabinets by linear metre (F24); on-site measurement will confirm wall surfaces and finishing (F28). The above are reference prices and do not constitute a formal quotation; actual pricing must be calculated based on dimensions, design, materials, hardware, quantity, and on-site conditions.
