New apartment - new worries

Well, you have become a lucky man! You, the owner of a new, well, or almost new apartment! Have you heard that the new apartment is a new concern? They hardly scare you, because all you want now is to move into your "fortress", and if necessary, then carry out repairs. First, happy owners of real estate are trying to convert a cozy mink to their taste. Some study fashion magazines, online publications, and who can afford finances - can hire a designer.

So, with the repair of an apartment in the secondary market everything is clear, imagine the design and rushed to act strictly the intended goal. As for an apartment in a new building, it is necessary to know here that experts advise waiting for some time until the house shrinks, so that you can spend money on building materials. But this is an erroneous opinion on all new buildings, this statement can only be applied to panel houses. As for monolithic houses, we can start repairs immediately after obtaining a certificate of ownership. As one foreman said to the foreman: "If there is a crack in the brick house, then this house is emergency!"

If you still decide to finish, without waiting for shrinkage, you should abandon the more expensive materials, use only those interior tools that are better and not subject to deformation. By the way, competent experts here too will be not out of place.

Another type of repair, which you can meet when entering the apartment - is "hereditary" repairs. Previous owners did not finish repair and sold you an apartment with "unfinished". Often finishing the repair flies to the owners in the "penny". Various defects can be found here, which are difficult to eliminate, besides, construction teams do not always take on the "leftovers" of work, and set a high tariff for this type of work. The reasons for the defects are very different - this is the unauthorized alteration of the apartment, the designer's error in the design, inadequately selected materials, the discrepancy between the color range and the texture of the materials, a violation in the part of communications and electricians. So it turns out that the new apartment and repair from the "scratch" is much more profitable.

However, you can avoid a number of errors if you use an elementary workflow scheme. Begin with a "rough" finish. To begin with, determine the scheme of communications and electrical, ventilation, heating. Then, if necessary, insert the windows and the front door, and only then proceed to finish the walls, ceiling and floor. As for the windows, they play a huge role not only in the aesthetic appearance of the apartment, but also in heat savings. For our climate two-three chamber double-glazed windows are suitable, and when installing the windows, do not forget about air exchange in the rooms. Do not trust the little-known manufacturers of profiles, stop on such famous brands as Rehau, Veka, KBE, Salamander.

Interior doors must be installed only after painting the walls, gluing the wallpaper, laying the tiles in the bathrooms and when the floors are already removed. And remember that the repair starts inside the apartment and goes to the exit. The only thing that can be left for the last is the decoration of the balcony, it is useful for storing and storing various materials.

By the way, an important detail - flooring, it's still new worries! Pay special attention to what kind of furniture will stand on this coating. Thin linoleum tears under the onslaught of heavy furniture. Very popular at the moment coating - laminate and laminated board. This type of material is noise-proof. Very practical material is floor tiles, it is advantageous in the kitchen area and corridor. But if you have small children, then you should take care of the "warm" floors.

Today we can safely say that the design of the apartment can buy absolutely any style - it is an ageless classic, loved by all hi-tech, "country" style, French Provence, oriental or ethnic style, minimalism. You can use various techniques of decors - fireplaces, columns, moldings, stucco molding and so on. The choice of methods is so huge and it is determined that it will suit your apartment, it can be exclusively professional, especially if you start finishing from scratch.

The most favorite and cozy room in the apartment, of course, is the living room . Here there are many significant events: birthdays, family anniversaries, a meeting with close friends. The living room is the face of your house and by all means you should approach the choice of the interior of this room with special trepidation. This room should not be screaming tones, the interior should have guests.

The main principle of the interior of the children's room is functionality and safety. In children's rooms do not use brightly toxic paints, so as not to damage the child's psyche. The room should be bright and bring the child positive emotions, but not be an irritant.

Bathroom is a room for relaxation. Fantasies in the design of this room are endless. These can be simple solutions of the shower zone, romantic intentions of a spiritual nature, but can realize fantasies of barbaric baths.

The kitchen is, first of all, the element of women! As a rule, mistresses spend a lot of time in this room. This endless cooking of breakfasts, lunches, dinners for the family, the embodiment of culinary masterpieces for the meeting of guests. But a modern woman makes this room so functional that she uses it not only as a kitchen. This can be a place for preparing for lessons with children, doing creative work, or just a cozy place to meet with a girlfriend. But do not forget about men! Men are excellent cooks, and sometimes they surprise women with their ability to cook a delicious romantic dinner!

Summing up, you can firmly say that the repair, apartment and care associated with the arrangement of the premises is a sequence of actions that needs to be closely monitored. Any oversight can lead colossal work to the failure of all your ideas. Work through all the technologies that you can use when decorating your home, study the market for services and building materials. This kind of complex of events will bring your routine repairs to a big holiday in your favorite cozy apartment!
