Repair never ends, but from updating the interior you can enjoy and do it with a profit.

Update Doors

Interior doors can completely change the interior. Their cost is the most diverse, and often the doors "eat" half the budget spent on the repair of the room. Especially a lot of problems with their installation, because for this you need to either very accurately determine the size and engage in self-work, or call masters, whose work is more expensive than the door itself.

Exit - Fantasia and Hand-Made. Do not buy the door, make a new one from the old.

First, remove the old paint (if the door was painted). This is done with liquid glass, that is, a solution of silicate sodium on the water. If they smear the old paint, after drying, the solution will squeeze together with it. You can also use a soldering lamp or a construction hairdryer to heat and consider the paint layer. These methods require more time than work with a grinder and a brush, but there are less dust and garbage from them. If the doors are detected by dents and chips, soil on wood to help you.

The same ways will help update old wooden windows.

Smooth and clean design can be turned into a decorative element: paint, placing wallpaper, plastering, lay out the mosaic, lifting the cloth. Choose your taste.

Pile the wallpaper

The room does not necessarily have wallpaper of one color and textures. They can be combined, so that the result will look like a real designer solution. If you take the goods from the residues to take a combination, then the savings will be selected rather, especially if you need to arrange a small room.

If you do not have time and the desire to mess around with changes in the whole room, run the wallpaper only on one wall. Quick and unusual.

Performing repair in stages can be saved. Large construction hypermarkets in the summer and autumn make big discounts and conduct special promotions. For example, in August in OBI, you can save up to 40% when buying basic goods for repair: laminate, tiles, power tools, paints, plumbers. And with a single purchase from 10,000 rubles, the client receives the OBI CLUB card, which gives the right to a 5% discount and for profitable individual offers by the end of the year.

Paint the old furniture

You can change the old cabinet to be unrecognizable in a couple of days. You can apply a self-adhesive film, but so you are unlikely to turn the grandmother's server to pride in the interior. But with paint, primer, varnish, napkins and several hours of free time from a wooden or plywood chest, you can do something magical.

1. First, remove the entire old coating - varnish or paint - not only outside, but also inside the furniture. Treat all boxes. It will take more time, but the restoration will be complete. To remove paint and varnish it is better to use special solutions, apply them in accordance with the instructions from the manufacturer.
2. Treat the cleaned surface with fine-grained emery paper. Then upload (use a sponge to impregnate all the pores).
3. If there are irregularities and chips, close them with a splotter on a tree.
4. The primer can again be treated with sandpaper and paint. Acrylic paints are suitable for furniture, they are easily applied and smoothly fall. If you have not been engaged in painting works before, use comfortable cans.

In addition to paint, you can use stickers and apply decoupage. How it works - learn from the video tutorial.

It is best to work in air so that you don't have to protect the dust and garbage of the room, and in order not to breathe sawdresses and paint in a close room.

Pay attention to home textiles

The bedroom transforms one bedspread on the bed. Children's carpet. In the living room, the entire interior can spin around the sofa and unusual pillows on it. In order not to change the upholstery of the furniture, wish the beautiful covers. In any room, you can "dry" these accents with curtains, and drapery can be not only on the windows, but also on the walls, and on the doors. As a result, the room will look like after repair, although you did not do any work. The easiest way is to find the color that will create a contrast to the entire room design and will focus on textiles.

Make an unusual floor

With my own hands in a couple of days to completely rebuild the floor and put parquet unreal. For quick cosmetic DIY repair, you need to evaluate how much you can spend. It is not necessary to buy all the materials immediately, you can prepare for the replacement of the floor, purchasing tools and means in stages. Such an approach will make it possible to consider the concept of design and save on proposals.

Until the end of October, a cumulative campaign operates in OBI: you make the first purchase by 2,000 rubles and get a 5% discount on the second. With the second and third purchases on the same 2,000 rubles, the discount will grow and will be 7 and 10%, respectively. Buyers who received a card with a maximum discount of 10% can use it until the end of October, and then exchange to the card with a discount of 5% until the end of the year for any purchases.

What can I spend money so that the result exceeds expectations?

Paint floorusing stencils or patterned schemes. This is an option, ideal for wooden floors and bold owners. The main rule is to use several paints.

Update linoleum. This is the most accessible and convenient floor coating processing. Buy linoleum bright color, even the usual furniture will look completely different. And you can take advantage of the experience of the artist Hike Weber and paint the old linoleum by conventional permanent markers.

Combine coatings. It is not necessary to change the floor throughout the room, you can replace it only on damaged areas. Pick up the texture and color that will be combined with the remaining floor, and get an unusual interior.

Put the vinyl tile. This is another simple way to update the floors, saving time. The tile requires the preparation of a flat surface, but if you do not need alignment, even newcomers will cope with stacking.

Add Light

Sometimes being in the room is hard only because of poor lighting. As you know, the light is two types: functional and decorative. It is difficult to make a lighter in the room without alteration of wiring, but the conductive structures allow it to be: lamps that are attached to the carrier frame, you can turn in any direction and change the lighting.

But the decorative lamps and LED backlight can be used mighty. Original chandeliers and lamps are particularly well looking at a minimalist interior.

Apply drawings on the old tile

To replace tile in the kitchen or in the bathroom in a couple of days, you need to have incredible skill, skill and complete set of tools and materials. It would be strange if there was no way to update the apron in the kitchen or bathroom to another way.

The easiest option is stickers. Buy any, what do you like, degrease the surface of the tile and apply the desired drawing.

A more time-consuming process, no less interesting in the end, is painting the tile. Not every paint will endure constant contact with water, so engaged in painting walls directly above the bathroom, but the kitchen and the wall of the toilet are in your complete disposal.

How to paint the tile?

1. Clean the surface of the tile and seams from dirt with the help of detergent and a rigid brush. Wipe with a cloth moistened in acetic solution.
2. Collect the surface with shallow sandpaper so that the paint is better to keep on the surface.
3. Cover the tile epoxy soil. Let die until the next day.
4. Take epoxy paint and create, as you consider fit. If you decide to apply a few layers, give the previous way to dry during at least 12 hours.

Interior of a small bathroom with storage location

Even in the smallest bathroom, a place to store various things. Stone standing under the trifles and compact built-in lockers with glass facades will also be in the way and will be presented with a narrow room with a favorable side.

Optimal use of a small bathroom space

Of course, if you still have a washing machine in a small bathroom, the room will become even smaller. In this case, you need to find a very clever solution. Designers entered the washing machine in a range of built-in wardrobes, combining the entire lower level under one tabletop. At the top placed a mounted cabinet to the entire wall with mirror facades. The whole interior is designed in a gray-white gamma, which could look pretty boring if not bright green accents, placed using textiles and trifles.

1. Good mine with a bad game.

Silk from 100 percent polyester. Tile "Under Stone", Linoleum "Under Parquet", Laminate "Under Onyx", "Trigark" under Ralph Lauren. Cerambrants "under Python". "Artificially aged" something there ... It is even embarrassing about it. Alas, the room will not pass. Polyce good interior logs. There is a stone everywhere - it's a stone, and a tree - exactly what a tree. If there is no money for a parquet, and a simple laminate is below your dignity, look for a good engineering board. As a result, you will get the floor that looks much more expensive for money spent on it. A good alternative to porcelain stoneware for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways - cement tiles. The result will look more expensive than the stock edge.

2. Leave the ceiling alone.

All steel just obsessed with ceilings! If you think sensitly, causing attention to the ceiling, you just remind everyone about its existence. And accordingly its height. The ceilings with a height of two sixty will not turn into, although the magnificent vaults are melting somewhere in the unthinkable embroidery. This can not be that you would have enlisted "decorator tricks." Just accept it. High door openings can make much more for your home than a ridiculous five-layer ceiling with neon backlight. Let interior doors be height two, say, twenty. And the door handles slightly lower the centimeters for five to seven. Showing a non-standard approach, you will be pleasantly surprised by the result.

3. Selecting the paint for the walls, consider the color of the house.

Neighboring. If you have a bright living room, let the hallway be painted in a deep, relatively dark color. The cost of paint in any case will be the same, and the result may look really expensive.

4. Buy modular laminate cabinets in the store, And do the doors to them in a good joinery workshop.

It will give you a significant savings, which, however, no one will ever notice. The same is true for equipping the kitchen.

5. If you still acquire the finished cabinet furniture, Let the pilkers of the facades be dark, and the meter's panels are simple (rectangular).

Remember: Light tree always looks cheaper. Avoid yellowish and reddish shades of veneer. And, saving on the furniture itself, wait on good pens!

6. If there is no money on a good carpet, look for carpet from viscose or blended fibers, imitating a silk or woolen pile carpet.

Select the color and texture that suits you and order a piece of the size you need. For additional small money, its edges will be tested.

7. Put the curtains on a dense lining.

Even inexpensive curtain fabric from this will seriously win. Look for a three-meter width fabric. It gives significant savings. If you are not ready to spend a lot, refuse to adequate textiles (fabrics with a pattern). When laying tissues with a pattern, due to the need to properly docile the web, there are many trimming. The more rapport - the more waste. Do not use a curtain braid for the porter. Let the seamstress laid "manual" folds. It is not so expensive, but the folds collected on the braid look very cheap.

8. Set headset set. The same things in the interior are permissible only in one case: if these are paired things forming a symmetric composition. And leave the sconce from one set to whom God did not give imagination. They are also the sets of upholstered furniture "sofa-two chairs" and the like tender sadness. Read more - see the next item.

9. Finished solutions.

Bad news: they are not. At least for us. The shower room is erected by a construction method because it is a room. If you do not hold a student hostel or underground massage interior with a striptease, a shower (this is a sad construction of a yellow acrylic and a peasive door) you will not work. Do not shiver on the "designer" plumbing. Let the appearance of the plumbing equipment of the bathroom (kitchen, bathroom) will be dictated by the function. Buy washbasins and mixers of simple forms, without an inappropriate decor. The toilet must be inconspicuous and cope with its duties. Nobody will admire them, right?

10. Pictures, Estampa, engraving, photos and posters Frame into simple, but deep frames with glass and necessarily in the passecut.

Even the picture, printed on a home inkjet printer (or naive child drawing), in such a framed looks very significant. Play with the sizes of the passe. Little work in a very wide client looks like a very "designer". And, by the way, the cardboard for the passecut can be almost any color.

11. Comfort. Another collective fetish.

According to my observations, the fact that in our Palestines is referred to as "comfort", in 99 percent of cases - poetted close. In many ways, this is the bodily memory of the past childhood, about the warm and gentle scarce Soviet life with carpets, sisite saprophites, a good grandmother, Czechoslovak Crystam and by anyone who is not a reader in the polished Polish wall "Gankka". The coziness will not yet add an expensive shaveless type of a round bed with music and a minibar, a bar counter with a built-in aquarium, etc. The same is true for such rich things as Lambreken, Garland and Svag. Do not worry: in a good, thoughtful interior, the comfort inevitably comes naturally. Therefore…

12. ... Goodbye, Gypsy Sir!

Duples from the Boszya in small Nefertiti, towels in scarlet roses, "outstanding" shades of pillowcases, nylon blankets with Shanghai leopards. All this is the attributes of collective farm chic, sorry for the directness. They will not add comfort. The painting is often necessary for these things solely in order to hide their exceptionally lousy quality. Let bed linen and bath towels will be simply white (options: ivory, extractive). But from Excellent Egyptian cotton.

13. However, the ivory is also important not to overdo it.

Peach, beige, sandy ... The average nuance gamma is good for network hotels. As their screen interiors are obliged to like everyone. Your interior should like you. After all, he is the manifestation of your essence, right? Take in your hand fan palette of any manufacturer of paints. Do you feel pleasant severity? These are your features. Do not miss them!
