Repair studio: can be done quickly, efficiently and cheaply

The history of our renovation began with the purchase of one-room apartment in a newly built house. As builders delayed commissioning of the object for about six months, it was time to choose the style of the premises, purchase of the material. Design project done independently, the main objective, which in this case was pursued - to meet the very modest sum.

Initial data

Given: the southern city, the standard one-bedroom apartment on the 10th floor, the state of "nothing", the windows face south-west, in front of the same high-rise building. The room is not enough light, but quite hot in the afternoon.

Find: design option, which will make the room bright and comfortable, will create a feeling of comfort and coolness. Initial data have defined a choice of colors: Preference is given to natural shades: gray-blue, light beige, sand.

Ceiling

Over the choice of a ceiling for a long time did not think he should be a tension. Question - matte or glossy - resolved thanks to the visit of several neighboring apartments. Worked in one of them the master kindly explained to us how to choose a ceiling covering, what to look for, where you can save a little.

Useful life hacking, if you bought a house in a newly built house, do not break your head over how to get it repaired. Take a walk on the floors, look at how to solve the problem of your new neighbors. First, you gain a lot of useful contacts. Second, immediately you realize that and how to do it is not necessary. Third, hire a team of construction workers for jobs that can not be performed in the home.

As a result, staying on the glossy coating of the tensioning Italian material. The price of 1 sq. m - 360 rubles. Skirting bought yourself in the construction hypermarket on the price of 150 rubles. 2.5 m. Together with the work in a flat ceiling installation area of ​​42 sq. m took 2 days, 16 thousand was spent. rub.

Walls

We were lucky: the walls were almost equal, break and rearrange anything not necessary. Standard operations on screed, plaster was completed in 4 days and cost 34 thousand. rub. together with the materials. But at the same time to select inexpensive and high-quality wallpaper was not easy. After watching a dozen thematic sites became clear: the only way out - it's sale.

I had to again go camping on building hypermarkets. Result - cream-colored wallpaper with a floral pattern for the room, light blue - the kitchen and the hallway. The roll dimensions 1 * 2.5 m cost RUB 595, adhesive vinyl wallpaper -. 168 rubles. To paste over the walls, and to pay the masters for the work took 40 thousand. rub.

As you can see, spending weeks at a time and 90 thousand. rub., one-bedroom apartment can transform beyond recognition. However, a more labor-intensive and expensive repair part is yet to come: it is necessary to equip the bathroom and kitchen.
