Do-it-yourself interior decoration of the house is always carried out comprehensively with electrical and plumbing work. In this case, you need to consider the materials and details of which the room is made. Otherwise, all the interior work can be a waste of time and money. Starting repair, you need to know all the nuances of finishing materials that require certain preparatory work.
How does the interior decoration of the house do it yourself
Similar work begins with a rough finish. First of all, communications, electrical wiring, heating, ventilation and other installation and plumbing work are carried out. After that, the surface to be finished (ceiling or walls) must first be leveled with plaster and cleaned. As for the floor: depending on the material from which it is made (wood, concrete, etc.), preparatory work can vary greatly.
Proceeds to decorate the ceiling
We will analyze the nuances and sequence of actions. If you:
1. Paint the ceiling - it is worth remembering several ways to apply the material to the surface. They may vary depending on the type of paint;
2. Glue the wallpaper. Depending on the type, the gluing process can also vary greatly. For example, liquid wallpaper does not stick at all, but is applied as plaster.
3. Finish with a false ceiling - in which preparatory work is not performed. Moreover, this type of finish is able to hide all irregularities or wiring. False ceiling, in turn, can be stretch, rack, modular or made of drywall.
4. Or other types of finishes: tiles, wood, metal, glass or even decorative stone. Each material has both advantages and disadvantages. We recommend that you carefully choose your choice.
Summarize
Each material:
- selected depending on the surface;
- It is selected individually for the room. Indeed, not every type of wallpaper can be used in the kitchen or bathroom.
- to avoid unnecessary costs, it is necessary to adhere to the correct sequence of work. So, for example, the installation of a stretch ceiling is transferred to the last stage of repair, when all the finishing work has already been completed.
Then comes the wall decoration
After preliminary preparation of the walls, you can proceed directly to the decoration. If you:
1. Paint - depending on the type of paint, one or another application method is used. For example, texture paint is applied using a special roller, which changes the surface texture;
2. Glue the wallpaper - certain working conditions must be observed: the temperature in the room is at least 18 degrees, the absence of drafts. Otherwise, the wallpaper will not have time to dry and peel off the next day.
3. Lay the tiles - you need to remember a few important rules: the tiles in the bathroom and in the kitchen must be resistant to aggressive environments. Ceramic tiles are always laid on glue, do not experiment with cement mortar. This type of work requires care and patience: the proper preparation of the adhesive mixture, dosage and adherence to the level.
4. Use drywall and panels - there is no need to align the walls. This type of finish is mounted on a pre-prepared metal profile. Able to hide: wall defects, wiring, ventilation, insulation, etc.
5. Other types. It is also possible to finish walls with other, less popular materials: decorative plaster, stone, cork, wood and more.
To summarize
- in the bathroom and kitchen, it is necessary to select special finishing materials that are more resistant to moisture and aggressive environments;
- Not all finishing materials are suitable for residential areas. For example, PVC panels in the bedroom are not the best choice;
- Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, on the basis of which the choice is made.
The last step is to finish the floor
Before laying the floor covering, the floor screed must be completely dry. We proceed to the analysis of the material. If you:
1. Lay the laminate - with the right selection it can last for many years. For example, 31 class in a bedroom is able to lie almost forever. And in the bathroom and kitchen is better moisture resistant.
2. Lay linoleum - you can use two methods of flooring: dry and glue. If installed incorrectly, the material will appear wrinkled.
3. Lay the tiles - you must choose the right variety for the room. For example, glazed tiles in the bathroom can turn the floor into a real "ice rink".
4. Do the bulk floor - to save money, it is recommended to level the floor in advance. Since the material is quite expensive, pre-leveling helps to reduce the consumption of leveling mixture. A feature of this finish is the ability to apply a 3D pattern.
5. Other - there are other options for finishing the floor: parquet, cork, decorative stone or even glass.
To summarize
- first you need to make an accurate calculation of the material for a certain area;
- It is recommended to purchase material with a slight excess and from one batch. Otherwise, the material may vary;
- the room factor plays an important role: temperature, humidity and floor load are always taken into account when choosing a material.
- laying some materials requires experience. For example, a tile laid from a door in the middle of work will bring you a “pleasant” surprise.
