Beautiful repair of apartments and houses is not a fantasy, but a reality

If before everyone did apartment repairs exclusively on their own, now there are many specialized firms with highly qualified specialists who will perform any kind of work efficiently and quickly. Only finance is needed. Of course, today some people make repairs with their own hands, but this is usually in order to save money. If you are planning to repair an apartment or a house, then, first of all, you should decide what exactly you want, what result you want to achieve and what specifically you want to see in your house. For this, it is best, of course, to seek the help of a professional specialist working in the corresponding company, who will be able to develop an individual design specifically for you, help you to think through all the details and choose the necessary building materials.

First of all, a beautiful renovation implies a beautiful interior design. This requires a complete list of all repairs and services. In addition, a cost estimate should be made with a preliminary preliminary negotiation of all costs and deadlines. Thus, the most important thing is two things: a developed design project and an estimated cost. After all, a beautiful repair requires especially careful preliminary preparation. The design project should be designed in such a way that it is understandable to both workers and homeowners where repairs will be carried out, taking into account all the wishes and capabilities of the customer. Why and it is advisable to address this issue to the appropriate company where a professional will work with you.

In general, a beautiful repair is not so fantastic as it might seem at first glance. After all, today there is such a huge selection of modern finishing materials that even a simple home craftsman will be able to do what special equipment and technology would have been needed before. Today, a beautiful repair in an apartment or house is within the power of absolutely everyone - only a clear and thoughtful action plan is needed.

To do this, you should preferably in an easy and relaxed manner try to describe to your designer all your fantasies and wishes regarding how you see the interior of your home, unless, of course, your own profession does not relate to the design of residential premises (otherwise it would be much simpler, it’s just that your ideas would have migrated to a piece of paper or a computer long ago) At the same time, do not forget that you should take into account the wishes of all family members who will live in the house. Only then will real happiness settle in it.

Think over to the smallest detail, what pieces of furniture you see in this or that room, do you need, for example, a fireplace in order to gather near it in the cold season with your family and friends or relatives, wrapped in a warm blanket, with a glass of wine .

Or maybe you need aquarium with fish? Or stretch ceilings with a night starry sky to watch the shimmering sky? There are a lot of ideas. What exactly you need is up to you to decide.

And remember - if a design project is not drawn up, the result can be very deplorable and, in addition to disappointment, cause nothing. Because in the design literally everything is taken into account, up to the number of screws. And in cases of the need for particularly high-quality execution, field supervision is also carried out.In other words, the designer or architect carefully checks what is obtained with what should be obtained according to the project, which is considered as the most real document, based on which a detailed estimate was drawn up. Those. everything is simple - if there is no project, there will be no estimates, which means that a beautiful repair will not work either. Accept this as a general rule.

Drawing up a design project is only one part of the repair, of which there are several in the whole process. This is tile laying, and the installation of suspended ceilings, and even the services of an electrician and plumber. The general level of repairs made depends on the quality performance of all these parts. That is why it is strongly recommended that you turn to specialists with extensive experience, if you yourself are not very competent in all these areas. Professionals, in addition to helping to avoid costly mistakes, will also do the work as soon as possible.

So, you have in your hands a design project and an estimate. Now your task, using these documents, is to purchase the necessary finishing materials. If you don’t have the means to purchase materials completely, you should first buy the most important ones. Remember the second rule - first the ceiling is made, then the walls, and only then the floor. You should not deal with the floor just because you, for example, have acquired good flooring, as after the work done with the ceiling, it is very possible that the floor will have to be rebuilt again. Therefore, strictly follow the sequence, then there will be no extra costs.

By the way, it is advisable to purchase materials either in large stores or in supermarkets, but not in the markets. Moreover, in the first option, home delivery and all kinds of discounts are possible, and in the second, there are no guarantees for the quality of the products purchased.

In this case, first and foremost, protect all that is valuable in the house with plastic wrap, even if you have just decided to just bring building materials into the house. Do not spoil the environment, believe me, it is better to foresee everything in advance. When all materials have already been purchased and are in the house, and valuables are protected by a film, pay attention again to the design project. Do you happen to have any fresh ideas? If there is, we want to disappoint you - this will have to be left until the next time, because you must strictly follow all the instructions of the designer, which are designed specifically for workers and will contribute to high-quality and quick repair. Those. you only need to do what is written, and initiative here is useless, unless, of course, you want the result to disappoint you.

So, we start from the ceiling, the surface of which should be smooth and clean. If old paint is peeling off, you need to get rid of it. And also to eliminate all the flaws in the form of cracks and knolls (to peel, prime, smooth with putty, dry, etc.). Now you can start painting, which is most convenient to produce with a roller - in this case, excess paint is easily removed, and everywhere sprayed drops of paint will not subsequently need to be washed.

Next, go to the walls. Wallpaper is desirable to choose high-quality. To do this, you can consult the sales assistant in the store. Well, if the drawing does not need to be selected, pasting will be much easier. First you need to get rid of the old layer of wallpaper, if necessary, align the walls (there are special mixtures for this). After the final drying, sheets of wallpaper can already be applied to a clean wall, carefully spreading them at the same time, in order to avoid the formation of bubbles. Naturally, from top to bottom. If desired, the angle between the ceiling and the wall can be decorated, for example with gypsum stucco or with decorative paper or ceiling skirting, with a colorful print.

At all times, parquet was the best option as a floor covering, since today's manufacturers are doing everything to ensure that parquet coatings last for decades and at the same time retain their beautiful original appearance. In general, I must say, laying floors is a very important stage. Otherwise, if the floor is not properly laid, the whole effect of stretch ceilings and glued wallpaper will simply be nullified. And to fix mistakes is the same as starting the repair anew. Therefore, it is best to immediately do everything right, carefully observing all the rules.

We fix the main rules leading to a successful repair:

1. beautiful repairs necessarily require a detailed design project;
2. if you have a full package of documentation, you can achieve significant savings on building materials, as well as reduce the time of repairs;
3. everything valuable in the house must be protected, because the dust will penetrate anywhere, and it will be extremely disappointing to throw out quite suitable furniture at the end of the repair (unfortunately, such cases are not rare)
4. When proceeding with repairs, strictly adhere to the project in order to achieve maximum efficiency from repairs

You should never forget that all objects in the interior must be in harmony with each other and match both in style and color.

If you want to place paintings in the interior, they must definitely support the general background and emphasize the atmosphere of your home, and not quarrel with each other, creating a mess of colors, shapes and styles on the wall and throughout the room - this should be taken into account when choosing them.

Creating a common interior (if you are not the only owner of the apartment, and other family members live with you), you must always take into account the tastes and preferences of all other people. It is also advisable to avoid especially pretentious and conspicuous elements when decorating the interior, otherwise they will cause unpleasant emotions and sensations, creating discomfort in the house.

If you do not have mansions and you have a shortage of living space, then you should not clutter up the house with unnecessary furniture that is used from time to time, you should more rationally approach this issue. By the way, carpets also create a feeling of closer and darker space, and also collect a lot of dust, which can lead to harmful household insects.

Another such advice - before you start the repair in the room, it is necessary to cover the floor with a thin layer of soap solution, which is prepared as follows: 1 liter of water + 20-30 grams of soap. When the floor is dry, it is recommended to cover it with paper. This is done so that if paint gets on the floor, then it can easily be washed with plain water. Also, when painting surfaces that are above shoulder level, the paint inevitably drains onto the brush handle. To do this, take the old rubber ball (small) and cut it in half. In the center of one half, an incision should be made and the handle of the brush should be threaded into it, which is subsequently tightly tied in several layers with a rope or wire so that the casing does not move down.

If you need to visually reduce the height of the ceilings, you should paint them darker with respect to the walls of the tone. Also, the room will appear lower if it is pasted with wallpaper with horizontal stripes. And accordingly, vice versa - the ceilings will seem taller than they are if they are painted white, and preferably with a light bluish or other cold shade.

Walls can be painted or glued without panels to the ceiling, using a pattern with vertical stripes of warm colors - the effect will be the same.
And finally, advice on how to visually reduce the size of the room. To do this, apply saturated, warm or dark shades for the walls or stick wallpaper with a large pattern. If the room is narrow and long, the longitudinal walls should be lighter and the transverse walls darker.In small rooms it is not advisable to place dark furniture and hang dark curtains or carpets.
