Renovation
Having looked through advertisements in newspapers or on the Internet, having glanced at the websites of various companies, it is easy to notice that the word "renovation" constantly appears there. It is used both in thematic forums and in colloquial speech. However, the overwhelming majority of people do not know this topic deeply enough, and they use such a term incorrectly. It appeared at the present stage of the development of the repair business in our country. More precisely, in the 1990s, when new repair technologies and previously unusual materials were spread. The essence of the term "euro" was then:
- to replace technical communications;
- installation of stretch ceilings;
- using more modern finishing materials instead of wallpaper;
- changing wooden frames to PVC bags;
- abandoning linoleum in favor of better floor coverings.

The redevelopment of the premises was often added here. All this together created an unusual effect, and even if the work was limited to cosmetic measures, the appearance of the dwelling still changed dramatically. But time does not stand still, and the demands of people are increasing. Today, renovation of the "euro" class is already unthinkable without the help of professional designers and planners. Only they can think over the whole composition well enough and competently.

The use of computer simulation programs is also considered "good form" now. This allows:
- to fully embody the customer's intentions in life;
- correct the concept, taking into account mistakes;
- save money as much as possible.

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

If the work is carried out at the most advanced level, the practice of installing elite windows from a selected wooden profile. Be sure to replace the interior doors.
Underfloor heating technology has become quite widespread in European renovation. Already at the stage of rough finishing, the walls and ceilings are perfectly aligned. The choice of materials and technologies is as diverse as possible. A genuine European-style renovation necessarily implies 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.

At the request of the owner, arched openings can be created, radiators can be replaced. Full renovation includes
Almost always arrangement of a balcony or loggia. Wherever possible and appropriate, decorative plaster is used instead of conventional paints. The general description of European-class repairs allows us to confidently say that it will be quite expensive. It is held no more often than every 10-15 years; exceptions - arrival in a new home, a very outdated home, or some kind of problem (flooding, burnout).

When the renovation is completed, you need to very carefully check the result. They start by inspecting the doors and checking their work - any jamming, squeaks are unacceptable. Additionally, they evaluate:
- floor quality;
- perfection of wall decoration;
- skirting boards;
- double-glazed windows;
- wiring.

Cosmetic
The expression "cosmetic" can refer not only to European-quality renovation, but also to the finishing of a lower class. The main feature is different - only the decorative elements of the room are updated. It should be borne in mind that certain types of work can be included in both cosmetic and major repairs. First of all, it is a change of doors and windows, which allows you to create the most harmonious atmosphere in the room.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/05/remont-spalni-raznovidnosti-vybor-i-sovety-po-vypolneniyu-20.jpg)

It is customary to divide cosmetic work into preparatory and finishing stages.
Of course, a work plan must be drawn up. It is also desirable to have sketches of the created interior. A good cosmetic repair always implies a thorough leveling of surfaces. Do not assume that "cosmetics" is something primitive, accessible to anyone. If you attract masters to it, then only proven people, with an impeccable reputation; to save money, you can do many preparatory work and dismantling yourself.

Designer
Quite a few people are trying to embody elite design in their home. It should not be confused with a cosmetic or European-style 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 take into account:
- the age of the residents;
- their social status;
- professional affiliation;
- habits and tastes.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2019/05/remont-spalni-raznovidnosti-vybor-i-sovety-po-vypolneniyu-24.jpg)

An experienced designer always embodies not so much a particular style (classics, minimalism, Japanese approach, and so on), but an individually selected concept. Psychological issues are also taken into account. Important: people have different tastes, and they are not always perfect enough. Even exceptional professionals in their fields may not have a clear understanding of the canons of design and the combination of different elements.If we also take into account the subtleties when choosing furniture, decorative items, it becomes clear how much more difficult such work is.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2019/05/remont-spalni-raznovidnosti-vybor-i-sovety-po-vypolneniyu-3.jpeg)
Important: repairs based on a photograph from the site or on a sketch drawn on a sheet of paper with your own hand will definitely not be a designer 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.

How to choose?
Having familiarized yourself with the options for repairing a room, it is not difficult to understand - the choice of a specific type of work is very important. Be guided by the opinions of colleagues, friends, relatives, or even specialists as the last thing. First, you need to think about your needs and requests. So, if the main structures of the dwelling are strong and stable, you can choose a beautiful and at the same time cheap redecoration.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/05/remont-spalni-raznovidnosti-vybor-i-sovety-po-vypolneniyu-28.jpg)
Important: if the electrical wiring, heating devices are not in order, you will have to do more serious work.
Overhaul can hardly be called a budget pleasure, even if it is carried out within just one room. It is imperative to resort to it in old-style houses that do not meet modern requirements. If you need to demolish walls or create them from scratch, you need to order redevelopment or reconstruction.
For an ordinary city apartment or private house that needs to be “just improved”, “repair without problems” is recommended. It aims to save time and money while improving the quality of life.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/05/remont-spalni-raznovidnosti-vybor-i-sovety-po-vypolneniyu-29.jpg)

The peculiarity is that the customer will only make decisions, while one of the specialists takes 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 types of repairs should ideally be done by professionals. Contacting a specialized company is mandatory if:
- a thoughtful design project is required;
- an exclusive solution will be selected;
- the design must be unique;
- the room itself is atypical in its design.

Of course, preference should be given to companies with significant experience that can demonstrate a portfolio of implemented projects. Any decent organization and even an individual entrepreneur must have a personal website. Important: there must be reviews on it, and if even negative ratings are not hidden, this is very good. Real specialists are in no hurry to conclude a contract - they preliminarily determine the required scope of work and form an estimate.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/05/remont-spalni-raznovidnosti-vybor-i-sovety-po-vypolneniyu-4.jpeg)

It describes separately all the manipulations ("wallpaper sticker", "plinth dismantling", "installation of sockets"), grouping them by room and by category - dismantling, rough finishing, electrical work.
Qualified professionals usually work with a phased payment. This solution provides an optimal balance of interests between the contractor and the client. The contract must necessarily state how payment is made, and in what time these or those works are performed. You need to check the availability of a license and not trust those organizations that immediately call the cost of work over the phone. Finally, you should pay attention to reviews in independent sources.

How to do it?
Quite a few people prefer to make repairs in an apartment with their own hands. We must immediately warn against two extremes in relation to him: idealization and bad evaluation indiscriminately. Acting independently, you can sometimes achieve no worse result than with the involvement of outside specialists. But you have to make a lot of effort and think over everything very carefully. After making a decision, you need to start work with the dismantling of all old interfering elements and structures.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/05/remont-spalni-raznovidnosti-vybor-i-sovety-po-vypolneniyu-35.jpg)

Experts advise cover the floor with plastic wrap before dismantling. This will allow you to collect as much debris and waste as possible. If the floor is painted with old paint, remove it with a spatula.
Important: before installing suspended or stretch 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 leveling the surface. The course of this work is determined by the appearance of the walls themselves. Attention: saving on leveling compounds is foolish and irrational. In the end, there will still be problems. Experts advise to level any surfaces strictly according to the beacons.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/05/remont-spalni-raznovidnosti-vybor-i-sovety-po-vypolneniyu-37.jpg)

When the height differences exceed 0.2 cm, it is recommended to smooth them out with a cement-sand mixture. For sanding, it is better to wrap a sheet of emery on a medium-sized block. But even with this kind of rationalization, you will have to work very long and hard. You should not rush - it largely depends on whether you get a perfect repair. Once the surfaces have been leveled, you can already start roughing and finishing.

For fastening the gypsum board and gypsum board, a crate is necessarily formed. It is set according to the building level. There is nothing particularly complicated in all common works. However, they are sometimes tedious and monotonous. In order to guarantee the elimination of problems, you still need to contact the professionals. Regardless of this, it is very important to choose the color scheme as carefully as possible.
Excessively abrupt tone transitions are unacceptable. A bright, oversized pattern is also poorly suited for a bedroom. Experts recommend giving preference to green and beige tones. Light blue paints are also acceptable.

Since the bedroom floor is lightly loaded, there is no need to choose durable coatings... We must also remember about high-quality sound insulationbecause the bedroom needs privacy. There is no need to use bright lamps, the light should be diffused. It is worth remembering about competent use of accents. From the very beginning, you should choose the right textiles. A separate topic is mistakes in the repair of bedrooms.
Insufficient number of outlets is a common mistake. They are recommended to be mounted on both sides of the bed. It is also required to provide for the connection of TVs, additional lamps, irons, and sometimes computers. Once the number of connection points required has been determined, they must be very carefully allocated.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2019/05/remont-spalni-raznovidnosti-vybor-i-sovety-po-vypolneniyu-42.jpg)

If it is inconvenient to get to the outlet or switch, then we can assume that they are not there. Switches should also be installed in all convenient locations. If the button is only at the entrance, this is simply impractical.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not at all necessary to place switches at a height of 0.75-0.85 m... The main guideline is the growth of each user. An unobvious, but important requirement - heavy shelves should not be hung over the beds. Ideally, there shouldn't be any shelves at all. Trying to save space in this way can turn out to be far from only frightening. Do not use overly dark or overly light floors. The first type is covered with prints and scratches, and the second accumulates dirt abundantly.

You can't limit yourself to a single chandelier or lamp. Least there should be two lamps - common and for the bedside area. If the lighting doesn't adapt to the needs of people at different times of the day, it becomes very inconvenient. It is still impossible to ignore the increased requirements for thermal insulation. When the thermometer reaches 20 degrees and below, the smallest flaws can cause a lot of problems.

Interesting ideas
Let's look at some examples of decorating a renovated bedroom. In this photo, you can clearly see how attractive an interior in light colors can be.Pure white walls are attractive. Colored cushions on the sofa set off the rest of the space.

And here you can see the bedroom, decorated in dark colors. The decor looks mysterious and mysterious. It may seem that the room is very gloomy, however, if you look closely, it is not difficult to discover the beauty of such a solution. Draperies and play of light add charm to the overall composition.

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