Bedroom repair: varieties, selection and implementation tips

People try to equip the bedroom with all possible taste and diligence. However, over time, this room, like everyone else, becomes unusable. A very important point then is the correct choice of the type of repair and its competent implementation.

Having looked through the advertisements in newspapers or on the Internet, having briefly examined the websites of various companies, it is easy to notice that the word “European-quality repair” constantly appears there. It is used both on thematic forums and in colloquial speech. However, the vast majority of people do not know enough about this topic, and uses this term incorrectly. He appeared at the present stage of the development of repair business in our country. More precisely, in the 1990s, when new repair technologies and previously unusual materials were distributed. The essence of the term "euro" then came down to:

• to replace technical communications;
• installation of suspended ceilings;
• the use of more modern finishing materials instead of wallpaper;
• change of wooden frames to PVC bags;
• the rejection of linoleum in favor of more advanced floor coverings.

Redevelopment of the premises was often added here. All together, this created an unusual effect, and even if the work was limited to cosmetic events, the appearance of the house still changed dramatically. But time does not stand still, and the demands of people are increasing. Today, the repair of the "euro" class is unthinkable without the help of professional designers and planners. Only they can think through the whole composition quite well and competently.

The use of computer modeling programs is also considered “good form” now. This allows:

• most fully realize the customer’s intentions;
• adjust the plan, taking into account errors;
• save money as much as possible.

When renovating, it is customary to replace all electrical wiring in the room. Categorically get rid of any open wires - they either go to the walls, floor and ceiling, or in extreme cases are laid in cable channels. Instead of metal pipes, during the European repair of the bedrooms they install plastic or metal-plastic ones, ideally they are hidden in the floor or in the walls.

The technology of underfloor heating has become quite widespread in European-quality repair. Already at the rough finishing stage, the walls and ceilings are perfectly aligned. The choice of materials and technologies is as diverse as possible. A genuine European-style repair necessarily means putting the premises in order (removal of construction waste, dismantled structures and parts). Of course All work is carried out by trained professionals who use modern equipment.

Almost always the arrangement of a balcony or loggia. Wherever possible and appropriate, decorative plaster is used instead of conventional paints. The general description of the European-class repair allows us to say with confidence that it will cost quite a lot. It is carried out no more often than every 10-15 years; exceptions - arrival in new housing, very outdated housing or any problems (flooding, burnout).

When the renovation is completed, you need to carefully check the result. They start by inspecting the doors and checking their operation - any jamming, creaking is unacceptable. Additionally evaluated:

• floor quality;
• perfect wall decoration;
• baseboards;
• double-glazed windows;
• wiring.

The expression “cosmetic” can refer not only to European-quality repair, but also to the decoration of a lower class. The main feature in the other is that only the decorative elements of the room are updated. It should be borne in mind that certain types of work can be included in cosmetic and capital repairs. First of all, it is a change of doors and windows, which allows you to create the most harmonious atmosphere in the room.

Be sure to draw up, of course, a work plan. It is also advisable to have sketches of the created interior. Solid cosmetic repairs always mean careful leveling of surfaces. Do not assume that "cosmetics" is something primitive, accessible to anyone. If masters are involved in it, then only trusted people with an impeccable reputation; To save money, you can do many preparatory work and dismantling yourself.

Quite a few people try to embody an elite design in their home. It should not be confused with cosmetic or renovation - this is a completely special category. Only those works that allow you to create an individual atmosphere can be called designer. Be sure to consider:

• age of residents;
• their social status;
• professional affiliation;
• habits and tastes.

An experienced designer always embodies not so much this or that style (classic, minimalism, Japanese approach, and so on), but an individually selected concept. Psychological considerations are also taken into account. Important: people have different tastes, and they are not always quite impeccable. Even exceptional professionals in their fields may not have a clear idea of ​​the canons of design and the combination of different elements. If you still take into account the subtleties when choosing furniture, decorative objects, it becomes clear how much more difficult such work is.

Important: repair according to a photograph from the site or according to a sketch drawn on a piece of paper with one's own hand will definitely not be a design one. This is just a duplication of other people's ideas, which does not allow you to create an individual interior. A single concept should be thought out, including not only the decoration of walls and other surfaces, but also:

• installed furniture;
• Curtains and curtains;
• other textile items;
• paintings and art photographs;
• accessories and other decorative items.

Having familiarized yourself with the room repair options, it’s easy to understand - the choice of a particular type of work is very important. Focusing on the opinions of colleagues, friends, relatives or even specialists is the last thing to do. First you need to think about your needs and requirements. So, if the basic designs of the home are strong and stable, you can choose a beautiful and at the same time cheap redecoration.

Major repairs can hardly be called a budget pleasure, even if it is carried out within the limits of only one room. It must be resorted to in old-style homes that do not meet modern requirements. If you need to demolish walls or create them from scratch, you need to order a redevelopment or reconstruction.

For an ordinary city apartment or a private house that needs to be “simply improved”, they recommend “repair without problems”. It aims to save time and money while improving the quality of life.

The peculiarity is that the customer will only make decisions, and one of the specialists will take over the coordination of the work itself. This person is responsible for meeting the deadlines and basic parameters of the service. The cost is determined taking into account the scope of work and their technical complexity, labor intensity. Any of these repairs should ideally be done by professionals. Contacting a specialized company is mandatory if:

• thoughtful design project is required;
• selection of an exclusive solution;
• design should be unique;
• the room itself is atypical in its execution.

Sure, preference should be given to companies with significant experience, which can demonstrate a portfolio of implemented projects. Any decent organization and even an individual entrepreneur must have a personal website. Important: it must necessarily have reviews, and if even negative ratings are not hidden, this is very good. Real experts are in no hurry to conclude an agreement - they pre-determine the necessary scope of work and form an estimate.

Skilled professionals usually work with phased payment. This solution provides the optimal balance of interests of the contractor and the client. The contract must necessarily spell out how the payment is made, and in what time period one or another work is performed. It is necessary to check the availability of a license and not to trust those organizations that immediately call the cost of work by phone. Finally, it is worth paying attention to reviews in independent sources.

Quite a few people prefer to make repairs in the apartment with their own hands. We must immediately warn against two extremes in relation to it: idealization and bad judgment indiscriminately. Acting on your own, one can sometimes achieve a worse result than using outside experts. But you have to make a lot of efforts and think everything through very carefully. After making a decision, you need to start work with the dismantling of all old interfering elements and structures.

Experts advise line the floor before dismantling with plastic wrap. This will allow you to collect maximum garbage and waste. If the floor is painted with old paint, it is removed with a spatula.

Important: before installing suspended or suspended ceilings, the surface does not need to be cleaned. Then the sockets and switches are removed, and the bare wires are wrapped with electrical tape. When the dismantling is completed, proceed to level the surface. The progress of this work is determined by the appearance of the walls themselves. Note: saving on leveling mixes is stupid and irrational. Ultimately, there will still be problems. Experts advise to level any surfaces strictly according to beacons.

When the height differences exceed 0.2 cm, it is recommended to smooth them with a cement-sand mixture. For sanding, it is better to wind an emery sheet on a small block. But even with such rationalization, one will have to work very long and hard. You should not rush - it largely depends on whether an ideal repair is obtained. Once the surfaces are leveled, you can already start roughing and finishing.

Under the fastening of GKL and GVL, a crate is necessarily formed. It is installed at a building level. There is nothing particularly complicated in all the common works. However, they are sometimes tiring and monotonous. To guarantee that problems are eliminated, you still need to turn to professionals. Regardless of this, it is very important to choose the color scheme as carefully as possible.

Overly sharp transitions of tones are unacceptable. Vivid large-sized pattern is also poorly suited for the bedroom. Connoisseurs recommend giving preference to green and beige tones. Light blue colors are acceptable too.

Since the floor in the bedroom is lightly loaded, no need for durable coatings. We must remember about soundproofingbecause the bedroom needs privacy. It is not necessary to use bright lamps, the light must pour diffusedly. It is worth remembering about proper use of accents. From the very beginning, you should choose the right textile. A separate topic - errors in the repair of bedrooms.

A common mistake is to install an insufficient number of outlets. They are recommended to be mounted on both sides of the bed. It is also required to provide for the connection of televisions, additional lamps, irons, and sometimes computers. When the number of required connection points is determined, they must be very carefully distributed.

Contrary to popular belief it is not necessary to place switches at a height of 0.75-0.85 m. The main guideline is the growth of each user. An obvious but important requirement is that heavy shelves cannot be hung over beds. Ideally, there should be no shelves at all. Trying to save space in this way can turn out to be far from just a fright. Do not use too dark or too light floors. The first look is covered with prints and scratches, and the second accumulates dirt abundantly.

You can not be limited to a single chandelier or lamp. Least there should be two lamps - a common one and for the bedside zone. If the lighting does not adapt to the needs of people at different times of the day, it turns out to be very inconvenient. Increased thermal insulation requirements cannot be ignored yet. When the thermometer reaches 20 degrees and below, the smallest flaws can cause a lot of problems.

Consider some examples of decorating a renovated bedroom. In this photo you can clearly see how attractive the interior is in bright colors. Pure white walls look attractive. Colored pillows on the couch set off the rest of the space.

And here you can see the bedroom, decorated in dark colors. The atmosphere looks mysterious and mysterious. It may seem that the room is very gloomy, however, if you look closely, it is easy to find the charm of such a decision. Drapery and play of light allow you to add charm to the overall composition.

This photo shows a kind of interim solution. One of the walls is very dark, while the others are noticeably lighter. The interior skillfully used paintings, and curtains, and storage systems. Ceiling lights also look original. The glossy ceiling is logically perceived in such a composition. And here the desired result is achieved by the use of a plant plot, light yellow tones and verified storage systems.
