How to make a repair in a small room that was cozy and comfortable

How to make a repair in a small room that was comfortable and convenient.

We got the room in a communal apartment, with wooden floors, noisy neighbors, burnt wiring, and curved ceiling. Two adjacent rooms 8 square meters. and 12 m square. m.

Why repair begins?

The first thing required is - decide which functionality should bear in itself the rooms that in the furniture will be placed there. In the same room is a bedroom and the second room will be: the table - shelves, built - in closet and an aquarium, so the decision was taken. interior style defined itself - minimalism, because there was no money, and a lot of things will not fit in small rooms. Design: small rooms, so it was necessary to increase them visually, so I chose bright wallpaper, closet with mirrored doors, lighting on the ceiling. Change or repair needed everything: windows, wiring, ceiling, align and insulate the walls and floor.

Change the old windows.

Getting to the dismantling of old windows. Who changed the windows in plastic knows how rubbish then have to clean up. Once installed the new windows had to take slopes: take the foam cut to fit the slope put on his spatula tile adhesive (CM - 11) and glued to the wall, then it is a little glue and glue align metal corner on perimeter. Once everything has dried, gently align all starting putty (EuroGips), then the finish (EuroGips Saten) and then overwrites sandpaper. And the slopes are ready for painting with water-based paint with a roller and brush.

Preparing walls.

 On the ceiling to the repairs were pasted wallpaper on the walls, too. The best way how to remove wallpaper is to wet them, then they are well peeled from the walls and ceilings. At this stage, it was decided to leave the old door frames interior doors, as this may lead to dire consequences and will have a large piece of plaster wall, we just got rid of the paint on them with the help of Bulgarians. A qualified electrician who is fully replaced the wiring, again had a lot of plaster walls. The next step is a primer, immediately took a ready-made primer ST17 in five liter containers and primed the walls and ceiling of a large brush, which is called - CEILING.

What if the neighbors interfere with sleep?

The bedroom was impossible to sleep - neighbors drink every night, the council they have no (tried everything). It felt that the walls of the fabric, and neighbors swear straight above your ear. This problem is solved by means of the plasterboard and insulation structure (before KNAUF plasterboard to fasten guide just under it laid insulation TeploKNAUF) I can say that the neighbors could hear less than 80%, and we can sleep. Seams between sheets of drywall putty, using a grid. After priming the walls are ready for wallpapering.

Curve ceiling.

The ceilings in the room at a large angle. The cheapest solution to this problem is - suspended ceiling. Here it may be noted many advantages: low cost, easy installation (after which it is not necessary to remove piles of garbage) and you can choose any color. In the bedroom, choose a black ceiling with lighting to visually enlarge a small room, the second room is white. Call the master, paid 1000 rubles per square meter. m, and a few hours later ready to ceiling.

What to do with old wooden floors?

Dismantling of the wooden floor and leveling concrete screed expensive. We chose a cheaper option to lay on top of the wooden floor linoleum, but before it is necessary to clean and level the floor creak. In order to remove a terrible creaking need to pull the board to the joists. How it is done: from the wall every 50 cm Cord straight line across the board, along these lines is screwed drill itself cuts 12 * 3 on the edges of each board. There is one trick - the distance between the beams can be more or less than 50 cm, you will understand it when you twist the cut itself, if he fell into the void then back down to the right or to the left to 5cm and try again until you feel that the cut itself has gone through two board. To level the old wooden floor, we nailed nails him fiberboard sheets and seams between sheets patched finished wood putty. After all this, just a bed for the linoleum.

The final stage of repair.

Wallpapering. To qualitatively pokleit wallpaper, you should use the plumb departing from the corner of the room every meter (width of the wallpaper) to hold the line from floor to ceiling and attach the wallpaper along these lines, in the preparation of adhesive for wallpaper constantly interfere with it, so there was no lumps. To smooth the wallpaper I used a plastic spatula is very convenient, and the joints are glued well, if we use a little pinch roller.

Once dry wallpaper can be glued ceiling moldings. In order to cut angle stuslo used, seams and irregularities at corners plastered white acrylic sealants with a small rubber spatula. Ceiling moldings adhered only to the wall (to the tension ceiling is not necessary) so the plinth took a little wider to hold.

After lay linoleum on the floor and became flat, we just put it on hold skirting boards around the perimeter of the cuts itself. Rooms are small, due to the fact that it was necessary to put the maxims functional furniture designs come up with themselves.
