The last option not only constructively interesting, but also very convenient. No less creative solution will be used in the interior instead of a hammock. Lovers of antiquity should think about arranging a large bed with a thick canopy mattress. Moreover, its backs can be carved or even forged or cast metal.

Furniture and household appliances for the kitchen

As for the kitchen, here you can also find some interesting ideas for the interior. It is easy to turn this room with your own hands into one of the most peculiar corners in the apartment. Unusually, for example, kitchens decorated in rustic style... In this case, a rude is placed around the room. wooden furniture with open niches and shelves.

Peculiarities

Very often, repairs in an apartment are started not out of motives to change the usual environment, but when certain problems arise.

Colors

When choosing the color of walls and floors for an apartment or house, follow the tips of the professionals:

• Shades of green and blue promote concentration and relax the eyes. Milky white and pale yellow tones are also good.
• Orange and red increase anxiety.
• For creating harmonious combination it is necessary to take white and some kind of contrasting color. The color combination also depends on the style. For high-tech, white, gray and bright red are suitable. For modern, you need to choose purple, red and pink.
• A combination of two bright contrasting colors is not allowed.
• It is not recommended to combine brown and gray in the same room. They visually reduce the room.

• The floor color can be either light or dark. It all depends on the style of the room.
• In small rooms, more light needs to be added. But don't overdo it. If you have a light ceiling, then the floor can be made in contrast. This will add more brightness.

Any materials can be used for finishing. It all depends on the design you choose. Today, brickwork is becoming more and more popular. It fits well with the industrial style. Decorative plaster more suitable for the classic.

We develop a design project

When developing a design project, one should take into account the general style of housing and the characteristics of each individual room, its functionality and style.

A Victorian design is suitable for the bathroom. He looks very rich and is popular with many people. This luxury should be adorned with vintage furniture.

You can put an unusual chair with smooth lines in the kitchen. It will look just amazing. Lamps in the style will suit the chrome surface Fusion... This would be a good combination.

The living room should have maximum comfort and plenty of space. If you have a large hall, then you can safely use a variety of different colors in the interior. For a small living room, it is better to use light colors. Thus, you can visually expand the space.

It is quite difficult to develop a design project with your own hands. You can do it yourself only if you follow our recommendations.

You can additionally use applications to create a design. This will make the task much easier. The process of creating a project in this case looks like this:

• Measurement. We draw or print the layout showing the actual dimensions.
• Large-scale plan. The ratio of the actual size to the one drawn on the plan should be 1: 4. It is carried out either manually or on a computer.
• Technical plan assignment. It is a list of what needs to be done: the selection of style, the choice of furniture in the premises, colors and everything that will give the interior consistency and rationality.
• Planning solution. You need to re-plan the apartment and find out how to do everything according to the law. We mark zones and arrange objects (for now, only on paper).

• 3D. Create a 3D model from a planar plan in SketchUp and try to walk through it virtually. A rethinking of the plan may arise due to the fact that now you will more fully understand how what we have on paper will look in real life... Also, you will understand the advantages and disadvantages of finishing. various materials, you will work out various little things and so on.
• Choice of style. Before starting this stage, you already have a rough idea of ​​what and how will function and how your interior and design solution will look. Once again, re-read the previous paragraphs, finally determine everything for yourself, look again at the pictures that inspired and took as an example of the interior and proceed directly to the design.
• Consider the parameters of the apartment before you start choosing materials for decoration, furniture, lamps and lamps, etc. An insufficient ceiling, poor lighting and other troubles can greatly interfere with bringing your ideas to life.
• Blueprints. We translate the sketches into a plan. Here you will need both dismantling drawings and installation drawings. We mark lamps and other light sources, switches with sockets.

Required materials and tools

For budget repairs, you will have to buy building materials yourself. Let's go through the tools and materials that you will have to refer to while working. You will need:

• A hammer drill that combines the functions of a drill, and jackhammer, and a mortar mixer, and a screwdriver. To expand the functionality, we advise you to buy a drill, a cartridge with an adapter, a solution mixer, a lance and a spatula.
• Screwdriver. He has two actions: tighten and unscrew screws, dowels, anchors, bolts, and drill metal. We also buy a set of bits and drills.
• Bulgarian. You need to purchase 3 discs for it: cutting disc for metal, diamond (for concrete and ceramics) and grinding.
• Building level... Available in a wide variety of sizes this instrument, ranging from 20 centimeters and ending with 2.5 meters. A 40 cm level is sufficient for small openings. Walls, ceilings and floors need a correspondingly higher level. Bubble spirit level is very popular and often used. Due to the presence of alcohol, it is successfully operated at temperatures below zero.

• Measuring tape. The recommended length is seven meters.
• Hacksaw. You need a tool with large teeth - for bars and boards, and with small ones - for plywood, fiberboard, chipboard and plastic.
• Hammer. You need a regular hammer with rectangular section, one blunt side and one beveled.
• Pliers. They will help to bite the wire and pull out the nail. It is a multifunctional tool.
• Set wrenches from 6 to 22 mm.
• The spatulas are narrow, wide and serrated. Narrow (60-80 mm) is useful for hard-to-reach openings. Wide (200-400 mm) for walls, openings, etc. A notched trowel is needed to apply glue to the tile or stone area.
• You will also need regular paint brushes.

Finishing

Even simple wall repairs will not be complete without finishing. We offer you original ideas. You can safely use them in your home. You will certainly get an original and stylish design:

• Fresh press. Newspaper instead of wallpaper on the walls is very original and stylish. With the proper whiteness of the paper, this option will look good enough. The newspaper is much thinner than wallpaper, so do not forget to cover it with a protective varnish after gluing.
• Brick. A brick wall will be a good solution for a stylish design. That's just flickering in modern interiors she too often and already had time to get bored. Therefore, you can brick not the entire wall, but only a part. It will look interesting with the white rest of the wall. You will have an interesting contrast.
• Sea stones. Coming back from vacation, you can grab the material for decorating your home directly from the sea. Sea stones and pebbles are quite reliable. It is convenient and pleasant to work with them and you can dream up, laying out various patterns.

• Drywall. Intricate and bizarre drywall designs are not liked by designers. However, there are cases when even such a finish looks stylish and impressive.

In order not to overdo it and not make out of your room cardboard box, nevertheless, it is better to first consult with specialists.

How to demarcate the space?

It is quite possible to bring comfort in the house on your own. You can not only decorate the space beautifully, but also practically, by simply adding decorative partitions. Let's take a look at a few ways of how to delineate space and separate rooms from each other:

• Podium in the middle of the room... A non-standard and rather unusual choice, as it might seem at first. It is necessary to throw out the bed, and instead erect a podium half a meter high and put a huge mattress on it. This will add peace, tranquility and friendliness to your environment. You can add pull-out drawers to the runway and store various things there.

• Individual space. If you live in apartment building, this does not mean that your apartment cannot be transformed and made at least a little more individual. For example, lower the ceiling above the bed. This will visually create the center of the room and focus on the sleeping area. Drywall will help with this. Do not forget to pre-mount some unusual backlighting there before.
