Finita la comedy! The fun season of summer holidays is coming to an end, and the time of serious changes is coming - the season of repairs. Rested and full of strength fellow citizens are eager to fight. But no one needs protracted battles: they want to update the interior quickly, without losing enthusiasm and money. Well, the advice of design professionals will help you get by with a little blood. Let's rate the most practical ones?

Changing doors

It's no secret that when starting a major renovation and planning a budget, many rank items of expenditure by importance. So, according to statistics, interior doors are always at the end of the list. They save on them, giving preference to the most profitable, rather than desirable options. This is logical - a lot of waste, you have to find a compromise. But this is at the stage of overhaul, and then what? Why not update your wooden canvases now? Change all the doors in the apartment to new ones! Such "point" intervention will radically change the interior. Minimum time - maximum result!

However, there is also a more budgetary option - creative painting or pasting of old doors. Any interior opening can be turned, for example … into a piano keyboard! Not exotic enough? What about Wild, Wild West and saloon door stickers? With a slight movement of the hand, the familiar environment changes: unusual stickers add originality to the interior. There is little waste, even less effort. Ideal for those who want to change something without a significant investment of money and time.

Do you want even more economical? Just paint the ends of the canvases in bold colors! A few bright accents, and the desired effect is achieved - the doors are like new.

Decorating windows

Having dealt with the doors, go to the windows. Change your curtains! And not on some outlandish ones, but simply on… others. Just try to go beyond the usual color scheme - use new shades. "Support" the selected curtains with decorative details. A couple of accents here, a couple there - and the picture is complete!

Refresh the cornices. Every year the store collections are replenished with new series: modern materials, unusual colors, creative constructive elements. Didn't find what you wanted? Do it yourself! A long tree branch, a can of paint, and a little bit of craftsmanship are all it takes to create a designer cornice. Perhaps just such a little was lacking in your interior.

Change the familiar to the unexpected! Tie up the curtains with bow ties, for example. A kind of "hipster" version. Or use for the same purpose … teacups. Crazy? Yes. Attracts attention? Of course! The main thing is not to be afraid to experiment. After all, you can use anything you want: from leather belts to children's toys.

Rearranging furniture

Well, every reader is familiar with this wonderful way of transforming an apartment. A few decades ago, it was the only one available to most fellow citizens. Our mothers and grandmothers regularly “entertained” our fathers and grandfathers by playing tags with furniture models placed on the drawn floor plan of the apartment. The winner received a prize - an opportunity to realize the idea in reality. So why not take advantage of experience? Instead of buying new, maybe it's better to swap the old? You can't find a more economical option! And you can reform the surrounding space beyond recognition.

Updating textiles

I remember that we already had a whole separate article about original textiles. Reread, I sincerely advise. It is enough to introduce into the interior something that is described there - fried egg carpets, delicacy carpets, meadow carpets, tool carpets - and the apartment will "play".

However, if you adhere to traditional views, then do not rush to give up beliefs in favor of creativity. You can also add variety with the help of ordinary things: change bedspreads on beds, covers on decorative pillows, tablecloths on tables. Other colors, other textures … sometimes that's enough!

In addition to the above, you can also:

Paint the floor in an unusual way. For example, using special stencils. Or simply by painting it, as American designers do (geometric shapes, colored stripes).

Stretch unusual stretch ceilings. Modern technologies allow many ideas to be realized. What do you think can be printed on a ceiling canvas? Anything! From everyone's favorite kittens to the Parisian species.

Paste over the walls in an original way. The ideal option is to decorate one wall with the help of photo wallpaper. We have already written about the most unusual options. Unfortunately, not all of them can be bought in Russia, but even from the assortment we offer, you can choose something suitable.

So, to summarize. The main idea of the article is as follows - in order to make repairs, it is not necessary to redo everything at once. Use the technique of "point impact": something has been changed here, something has been updated there. In the complex, a quite decent result will turn out: the apartment will be transformed as soon as possible and with minimal losses for the family budget. But that was the ultimate goal!
