How to live, eat, sleep and wash at 19 meters

We like comfort. But starting to make repairs, we come not only to the external imbalances, but also to the inner experiences. Still, it's the loss of hard-earned.

Mount repairers, which from all sides, we tell stories, more than enough.

As in all this confusion does not get lost? How to avoid unnecessary costs and experiences?

I want to tell my personal story repairs, share the experience of trial and error. I hope that it will benefit.

Immediately I warn that the apartments are ready for delivery, so the use of practical and durable materials at affordable prices.

Once I, the average citizen, managed to buy a small apartment. As my mother said, judging by the size of the apartment, wash eat and sleep where you can be on the spot.

Indeed, when I went to the 19ti meter studio apartment in a new building, the bud at once, crossed the threshold, appeared on the balcony.

But when I started to make measurement of the space, plan parting furniture, the apartment is on the eyes began to widen.

Fortunately, I had a long time experience in sales of furniture and design projects accounted for living rooms and kitchens.

Therefore, for the furniture I'm not worried. But repairs have never previously encountered and feared him like fire.

One day my friends and I went to the cinema. Discussing after watching the film, I found out something interesting for themselves. Some of my friends, it turns out, too, I bought an apartment in a parallel home. He advised me to gang masters, cost orientated and I caught fire.

All of my life, I used to pay attention to such accidents. And what is itself in the hands not to lose.

The same evening I called the brigade and made an appointment.

I explained that gold monograms is not necessary, because the first time going to take the apartment, but also asked to make the conscience electrician and all the dirty work. The order was received.

We conjured a little duct, removed balcony unit (on the balcony already been deduced heating) as well as a few square meters of strongly - brings together all that is possible in order to expand space.

I was lucky that the studio picture window in the wall, it's a definite plus for small spaces.

Now I describe truths - light colors expand the space. That is the rule I adhere to when picking up the flooring and wallpaper.

By the way, as this apartment was bought for my twelve-year daughter, so to speak, for growth, and the decisions on color, I stuck to her opinions.

Here it seems as great, only 19 meters, you can quickly make repairs. But no. It turns out that all the instruments on such areas have to constantly pull workers from corner to corner. It's not like I will take away all think I will deliver to the kitchen and bathroom. Workers can certainly crafty, but the timing was detained, citing exactly that. Rough work on alignment, plastered walls electrics made in the past month.

I must share with you. When the workers asked in what place will be sockets, antenna and other electrical need to treat this with the utmost seriousness. You need to understand exactly how it will be arranged the furniture and appliances, especially if space is limited. Not envelops himself in later extension cord, believe me, it is uncomfortable and is not beautiful (own previous experience).

So, before you answer the questions, you should know not only the layout of furniture and equipment, but also the size.

I, for example, all so knowledgeable and intelligent, I forgot all about the refrigerator in the apartment and thought about it at the last moment. mentally also I had to rearrange the bed and place under the TV from one wall to the other, because when imagine anyone sleeping next to a working fridge I felt ashamed. Workers grumbled at me a little bit, but I had time and output at the antenna made in the right place.

But for that I commend myself - so this is for the organization kitchen space.

Given that the apartment was small, cramped and would I have made the whole kitchen with rounded corners. Yes, it was on the order on non-standard sizes. But in today's market - it is generally not a problem. And if you play with the materials that come out of such an order at a reasonable price.

In the tiny bathroom we put the shower curtain meter on. Together and stiralku and toilet and Moidodyr.

We buy the cheapest white tile without drawing. Not only that, well saved, and in such a small-sized space, it looks perfect and visually expands it.

For prihozhkoy we went to Ikea. They sell "neubivaemye" narrow obuvnitsy. I spied them from a friend, a few years ago. It turned out, they are still on sale. Made of durable plastic, and the depth they have less than 25 cm. This is a big plus for our narrow hallway.

Special attention I paid to the coverage and the ceiling. We took the glossy stretch ceiling, though the foreman tried to dissuade us. He said that reflects all that is not necessary from the surface. But in fact, many will not put mirrors in the studio, but the glossy ceiling shines like a bright surface and increases the visual space. In the ceiling we did pinpoint LED lighting.

Brigade making repairs usually have stocks of materials. So we went to expensive door, which in size is not arranged capricious customers, and we have agreed to take her to him for the price of a new budget itself.

Even offered us a wash basin with sink, for half the price. But half the price twice as high as similar Moidodyr in stores. So we politely refused.

More on this apartment, I experimented with green. It turned out quite acceptable and fun.

Maybe I do not belong to the category of perfectionists, but clearly believes the sooner you decide to choose the color, the more correct will be your decision.

Sometimes people two hours can not choose the color of the facades and countertop kitchen furniture and when they get the finished product remain dissatisfied.

Choose materials and colors quickly. First read about them on the Internet, listen to some advice and then be sure to mentally imagine how it will look is in your space.

And then renovated to become a fun hobby, and the house becomes a cozy nest. Put their hearts and a new image of your home will delight you for years to come, no matter how expensive the materials you use.
