Before starting work

Features of repair work in a studio apartment
Living in such an apartment, and spending a lot of time in only one room, I want everything in it to be as comfortable as possible. In addition, in such an apartment the least square meters, and repairs will be cheaper. Nevertheless, any repair and finishing work, including in a one-room apartment, is a lengthy process that requires a lot of effort and time.
What you need for budget repairs
Choosing a budget repair for yourself, you need to not only understand how to save money, but also have an idea of the list of works for this type of repair. Aligning and painting walls, working with ceilings and floors, connecting plumbing, checking electrics, installing doors - these are just some of the necessary works. Consider, due to what, the repair can become a budget.
Naturally, the first is the ceiling. Stretch ceilings are very popular now, but it is expensive. Alternatively, you can paint the ceiling with a matte paint and attach a ceiling plinth, which will give the ceiling a beautiful appearance. As for the floors, there is also a field for choice: linoleum, you can choose laminated flooring, carpet is also possible. The choice must be made depending on the needs for a particular coating and on the ability to pay for the selected type of floor. Work with electricians is a separate issue, it can be changed, and if it worked normally, then everything should be left as it is. Regarding the installation of doors, it should be noted that now on the Internet there is a huge selection of doors of different quality and at any price, so there should be no problems with the choice of doors.
Do not forget about design
Thinking through the design of your own home is the most important part of all repairs. Why? The thing is that guests will pay attention specifically to the design, and not how the ceilings were painted or the plumbing was installed. All the life in the apartment after the completion of the repair work will take place exactly in the design that the owners will choose during the repair.People can determine the design on their own, do not call specialized designers who work only for a lot of money. Thus, repairing a one-room apartment is not a difficult task, if you think in advance not only about the plan, but also about the design of the apartment itself.
