When it comes to repairing a summer house with their own hands, many people simply answer that the summer house is just a house where you can relax while working on the site. However, for some time now this is far from the case. The dacha is now not just an ordinary house, hastily put together, but a luxury that some city dwellers would dream of having. A country house in the mind of a Soviet person should not have a beautiful design and expensive utensils (in order to avoid damage), but this is already in the past. Today, many designers offer interesting ideas for decorating a summer cottage. Which in turn create an interesting interior and atmosphere. Interesting ideas for renovating a country house include the following points.

Wall decoration with decorative semi-antique plaster.Creation of a rustic style (it will be especially appreciated by city dwellers who sometimes dream of living in such a house), ennobling the attic, creating a veranda with a panoramic view.

If we are not talking about a summer residence, but about an apartment, then the task is a little more complicated and appropriate.

The first step is to draw up a plan for the design of the room. Think about what furniture you would like to keep and what to get rid of?

Try to arrange the furniture as rationally as possible - you should not clutter up the space, for example, in a small hall you should not place a sofa in the center of the room, place it against the wall, this will make the room visually larger. Read also about repairs in the nursery

In small apartments, the kitchen, as a rule, has even smaller dimensions, therefore, in order to visually expand the space and give a unique and original design, we need interesting ideas and tricks of designers. There are many ideas to visually increase the size of a small kitchen, for example, to use light colors in the design of the walls. Light beige and olive colors are perfect. You should also not use massive curtain designs with dark colors. Light light blinds and roller blinds are best suited for a small kitchen.

If you decide to update your furniture, when choosing furniture, remember that it should correspond to the size of your room - so, you should not choose a giant wall or sofa in a small hall, it will not look organic and pretentious.

Using these simple tips, you can radically transform the interior of your one-room apartment.

Old furniture, boring colors, uncomfortable zoning, scattered things because there is nowhere to store them ... All this can really interfere with life. At some point, it becomes completely unbearable, and the person makes a volitional decision: changes are needed. We will help you! We will fill you with inspiration, put together a collection of ingenious solutions, impressive interior changes and photos of great ideas for apartment renovation.

Photos "before and after" clearly show how good, constructive ideas and a couple of interesting techniques can transform any room. Colors, materials, new flooring and functional furnishings will change the apartment in ways you don't recognize. Narrow spaces will appear wider, gloomy ones will become pleasant, and in the same square there is room for all things. Magic? Not at all! Only skilful room planning and the right furniture.

Design project from All Design

Do you want a minimalist apartment decoration? Great idea! Stylish, functional, nothing more. Minimalist white is a great choice for small rooms that need optical magnification.

After opting for minimalism and white, look for furniture with simple shapes and clean lines. To avoid the feeling that you are in the operating room, set accents with wood elements - parquet or laminate flooring, wooden furniture. Live plants will perfectly fit into the environment and add coziness.

In narrow rooms, light is of great importance. White walls and reflective surfaces keep the sun out of the way. Our tip: Avoid vertical placement of dark colors, and only place dark surfaces horizontally.

The attic floor is often neglected, not used at all. But attic rooms have their own charm, their own individuality. From a technical point of view, waterproofing and window openings should be carefully considered if none are available.

Design project Superpozycja Architekci

Every housewife dreams of a large, beautiful kitchen with everything you need. When considering the design of your stylish new kitchen, consider the architectural features of the room and take into account the location of drainage and ventilation.

The layout of the rooms in our apartments often leaves much to be desired. There is only one way out - imagination and creativity. Light pastel colors gave the room a fresh and relaxed mood. Our tip for narrow spaces: Avoid tall furniture like wall cabinets and bookcases as they visually take up too much floor space.

In the Scandinavian style, light is at the forefront. In no case should dark furniture be allowed to take away at least a piece of the available lighting. The dominant color is white. Several accents of gray and greenery of plants diversify the interior and make it cozy.

Minimalism is the perfect solution for the interior of a small room. The same color of walls and ceilings, painted white parquet and gray textiles create a single image. Tip: replace the handles on the cabinets with the push mechanism for opening the doors, as shown in the photo. The laconic facades have almost merged with the wall, making the room seem larger.

Most often, in the nursery, we need to find a place for the bed, for the table, and for the closet ... And it often happens that, having placed the bed, we can no longer find a place for everything else. Our advice: don't buy ready-made furniture. Order furniture made for a specific room.

When making custom-made furniture, you will proceed from the individual characteristics of the room and the needs of the person living in it. You will be able to make optimal use of every centimeter of space. In the photo above, you can see a built-in wardrobe and custom-made shelves at the head of the bed.

At a certain moment in life, all children come to the stage when a person has his own view of what his room should be. The child has constant and serious hobbies, interesting topics for him. And in adolescence, when the time for wallpaper with bears passes, the child wants to participate in equipping his own room. A good solution for the decor of a teenager's room is functional furniture with a simple but practical design and color accents, set with the help of individual pieces of furniture and textiles.

In the design of a nursery, it makes sense to abandon themed wallpapers and furniture, which in a few years will cease to be interesting for the child. Our tip: bean bags and ottomans perfectly fulfill the role of multifunctional furniture, which will definitely please the little family members.

With the help of accents in the design of the nursery, you can play up the child's hobbies. At the same time, it is necessary to think over how these accents can be changed in the event of a change in the interests of the owner of the room.

Design project Tutaj Concept

This toilet used to be a pitiful sight - small, narrow and dirty. The designers extended the room and managed to find a stylish combination of all kinds of techniques: gray-blue colors, the floor is decorated with ornamented tiles, one wall is painted in a calm gray tone, the other two are covered with photo wallpapers that create a feeling of endless perspective.

A narrow bathroom with an awkward layout and a protruding water pipe is not the most attractive sight. Randomly scattered things do not add beauty to her. Our tip: combine two matching colors.

In this project, the designers combined white and wood, placing them on all surfaces. Glossy options were chosen for white tiles and furniture. Together with the mirror, reflecting light, they make the room brighter and visually enlarge it.

Design project Bluecat studio

A design project designed to renovate a small bathroom on a limited budget. The blue and white interior looks fresh and modern, and the bathroom is cozy and beautiful.

Design project Studio monocco

The idea of ​​indirect lighting is very popular and works wonders, especially in small spaces.Create glowing "ribbons" on long bathroom elements - on the bathtub itself, washbasin or cabinet. Glossy surfaces enhance the aesthetics of the effect by reflecting soft light.

A safe bet is the bathroom interior in black and white. This design project is interesting for its extravagant black floor and brick-like wall texture, unusual for a bathroom.

You have a very small bathroom, but you wouldn't want to give up a bathtub. A small bathtub designed for seating can be a way out. Our advice: choose narrow furniture and light colors.

Even the smallest bathroom needs storage space. A stone stand for small items and compact built-in cabinets with glass facades will come in handy and will present a narrow room from the advantageous side.

Of course, if a washing machine also needs to be placed in a small bathroom, the room will become even smaller. In this case, you need to find a very clever solution. Designers fit the washing machine into a series of built-in wardrobes, combining the entire lower level under one worktop. A wall cabinet with mirrored facades was placed at the top. The entire interior is designed in gray and white colors, which could have looked rather boring if it were not for the bright green accents, placed with the help of textiles and trifles.

Dear readers, for a long time we have not had such extensive posts-tutorials on apartment renovation. I am pleased to offer one of the reading aids.

This summer we did a phased decoration of a two-room apartment. First, all the furniture and things were dragged into one room, locked and sealed. After the renovation of the adjacent room and kitchen, everything was moved to the finished premises and the remaining room, corridor, bathroom and toilet were completed. In general, it is not the most convenient repair option. Task: to make good-quality inexpensive repairs from budget materials. Terms: June 10-July 24 - the first stage, August 4-September 10 - the second stage. Estimate: 295800r (only work + stretch ceilings) All work, except for the installation of interior doors and the installation of two of the three windows, was done on our own. There are a lot of photos, so I will post as much as I can and free time appears. So, this is how the “object” appeared before us

the parquet fell off by itself, dismantling consisted of collecting it from the floor and folding it into bags.

This pipe leads to the coil in the bathroom.

Here is such a horror object, we dismantle everything that is possible

First of all, the windows are installed, this window was installed by another company with which the customer agreed earlier

a cold cupboard can be seen under the window, and a radiator hangs behind a door leaning against the wall. The logical solution was to insulate the cabinet and install a new radiator in its place.

on the Perlfix assembly glue we glue the extruded polystyrene foam, then the gypsum board on the same glue

Getting started plastering

first of all, we put our branded beacons

in some places we use the combined technology of leveling the walls, from above the gypsum board is glued to Perlfix, and from below the layer is plastered to a lesser extent

Waste plasterboard can be embedded in a thick layer of plaster

we change the hot water and cold water pipes, the piping to the coil, fill the grooves with plaster

When plastering corners, do not forget about 90 degrees, and of course, verticality

we form the entrance opening using a plank box

We install the window sill and slopes

We bought a special grinder for sanding the walls, it connects to a vacuum cleaner, a great thing

before leveling the floors, we fill in all large defects of the DSP floor

We level large differences without beacons with a semi-dry screed

In the corridor we break part of the old screed with a large crusher

vacuuming, priming, making a rough leveling, vacuuming priming.

we divide the corridor into parts using scrap materials.

slippers for “walking on water” are made of OSB, self-tapping screws and a glamorous strap with rhinestones

During the installation of the stretch ceiling, a force majeure arose, the baguette was torn from the wall

And this happened due to the fact that a thick layer of soft seal was laid between the gypsum wall and the ceiling

the cracks were repaired with pearlfix, putty and the ceiling was put on. That is why it is better to stretch ceilings before wallpapering. Another reason why you should stretch the ceilings before finishing the walls is a possible hit during the installation of the baguette into the electrical wiring (for example, as in this video) And finally, even with the most careful installation of the ceiling, there is a risk of damage to the wallpaper, therefore, we glue the wallpaper only after the stretch ceiling, and we lay the floor coverings after them too.
This miracle of technology is called construction stilts, with their help, all work at a height, including stretch ceilings, is done many times faster. In Russia, these are practically not sold, and if they are sold, they are expensive. We bought it via e-bay. We want to buy something else later, but more on that later.

a mandatory attribute for finishing, this is a vacuum cleaner. As they say, cleanliness is a guarantee of quality

Ideas for apartment renovation.

For the first time, the idea of ​​combining the kitchen, dining room and living room space dawned on the creative designers of the West. since then, it has been actively used in the development of foreign housing projects and is a common interior solution found in domestic small-sized apartments and a little less often in open-plan apartments. in a spacious studio, you can install an island model of a bar counter with a continuation in the form of an overhead hob and sink. at the same time, a slightly contrasting color of its headset will contribute to a clearer designation of the kitchen area. in addition, they can be effectively decorated with simple stucco elements. by transforming an ordinary partition, you will turn it from an unremarkable design into an independent element of decor. it is worth noting that according to the vision of most modern decorators, the textured difference is more advantageous than the color one. This opinion is motivated by the importance of the prevalence in the SPO premises.

When creating an interior, designers offer a huge variety of ideas for lighting in the bedroom. it is preferable to have two types of lighting in this room: overhead and local. if many use the first of them only when they enter the room at night, then the second - most often before bedtime. On this page, you will see the most interesting ideas for ceiling lighting and decorative lighting in the bedroom, which will help you create the illusion of light coming from nowhere in the room. choice will help you achieve this effect. a stylish floor lamp on a curved leg or an original lamp in the form of a flower can be a good idea. bedroom interior. the lighting in my opinion is just perfect, it adjusts to relaxation and peace, what is needed for a bedroom, and the colors are very calm and not bright. The lighting in the photo creates a light mood and at the same time peace and coziness, in this bedroom you can really get a good night's sleep and relax.

Large living room after renovation. interior of a white living room. it's great that the long batteries, and even more so they are sheathed, but the partition between the living room and the bedroom is made in an old-fashioned style. no need to stand on the past, you need to go forward, and the bar counter in the kitchen neither to the village nor to the city. original and functional design. in the living room I liked a dark wood table with crossbars instead of legs - it was well thought out. such a perfect white color in the kitchen scares a little, as if no one intends to live there. general impression: light but cold. the apartment looks cold, uncomfortable. and the absence of curtains on the windows and a terrible partition hint that there was simply not enough money.

In fact, liquid wallpaper is a type of decorative plaster, which contains a filler (natural cellulose fiber, acrylic, cotton, silk threads, pieces of tree bark, mica, algae) and a binder adhesive. wall decoration with liquid wallpaper liquid wallpaper, due to its durability and ease of application, is used everywhere: for decorating walls and ceilings of both residential and office premises, cafes and not only. thanks to a variety of textures and an unlimited palette, they fit perfectly into the design of any room, combined with wooden furniture, natural fabrics, decorative stones and various types of flooring. liquid wallpaper finishing of the headboard liquid wallpaper has not only attractive aesthetic properties. thus, they serve as additional thermal and sound insulation of walls, are characterized by antistatic properties (do not attract dust), fire resistance and durability. to achieve the original appearance of the walls and create in the room.

Moreover, from time to time, the list of types of coatings is replenished, and each new type surprises with its qualities and properties. traditional is the classification of floor coverings depending on the method of dividing the elements. the main advantages of this type of coating are environmental friendliness and durability. the working layer of the parquet is several millimeters, so it can be scraped many times, renewing the surface. such premises, first of all, include the bathroom, kitchen and corridor. on the market, ceramic tiles are presented in a huge variety of colors, textures, patterns and sizes. in fact, these are polymers (safe from an environmental point of view), which are ready-made in the form of a semi-liquid mixture. any base is poured with it, leveled and as a result, a perfectly smooth seamless surface is obtained, which can only be hardened. if the floor itself can be "poured" in a short time, then after that you will have to wait for it to dry. under the influence of direct s.

Liquid wallpaper in dry form, the surface on which the wallpaper will be applied must be cleaned of the remnants of old paper wallpaper, excess pieces of putty or plaster. further strengthen the surface and prevent further penetration of moisture into the depths of the surface will allow the use of white or colorless alkyd deep penetration primer or oil putty. for better fixing and more economical consumption of liquid wallpaper, it is advisable to roughen the surface by first adding quartz dust or fine clean sand to the putty. giving texture to the surface with a brush, the technology of applying liquid wallpaper requires an initially white surface of the walls, or matching the tone of the solution. only in this case it will be possible to achieve the most saturated color. finishing the wall with liquid wallpaper, the air temperature in the room when applying liquid wallpaper should exceed +10 s. the wallpaper dries quite quickly (from 12 hours), but in rooms with high humidity for
