10 short tips for newbies to repair

When starting repairs in the house, people begin to plan expenses, evaluate the scale of work, look for performers, select materials. But sometimes sensible advice from the masters on the design of the room helps to save and make repairs faster. Especially they can be useful to beginners who do not have enough experience in this matter.

How to equip a bathroom

You should not save on trifles in the bathroom: there should be things that are required every day. Therefore, it is better to hang beautiful shelves, cabinets, holders, placing useful objects on them. There will be more order in the bathroom.

Flooring and tiles

Choosing the type of flooring, you need to proceed from its practicality for everyday use. White tiles with white grout in the bathroom will have to be very often scrubbed, and all dust particles and specks will be visible on the dark wooden floor. Better to choose options that do not require daily cleaning.

Metals can be mixed

Various types of metals, such as copper and brass in fixtures will look good in the kitchen. But the lacquered fixtures made of copper are too shiny and conflict with stainless steel.

Lighting

If little sunlight enters the room through the windows - this is a big problem. Light sources need to be done as much as possible, and their brightness should be regulated by a dimmer.

Dark colors

You should not design small rooms in black or blue, although it may look stylish. If the walls in the bathroom are purple, then in the morning there is unlikely to be able to quickly enter the working rhythm, and in the evening you will not be able to relax before bedtime.

Appliances

People often buy a new washing machine or coffee machine, guided not by an urgent need, but by the influence of advertising. Most likely, these items of equipment have cheap good counterparts. Do not overpay for the brand.

Furniture

Kitchen cabinets or old chests of drawers do not have to be thrown away. Refresh their appearance will help a small detail made by yourself. Old pieces of leather or material that can be bolted to the drawers will be used. This will give the cabinets a more fun look.

White paint selection

White paint looks stylish in any interior, but it has many shades: the wrong choice can ruin the room. It is important to consider the finishing material, lighting, colors of walls and furniture. Cold paint can be warmed with lamps. Better yet, test it before use.

 Kitchen floor

You can apply various types of coatings in the kitchen, such as tiles and linoleum. An environmentally friendly natural marmoleum can be an excellent material for the floor in the kitchen. It does not fade, is not afraid of water, does not burn and does not need additional insulation. It can also be painted in different colors and decorated with wood or stone.

 Boxes for little things

All sorts of little things will not catch the eye if stored in closed boxes. Open shelves can be used in the kitchen or in the bathroom only if they are kept in perfect order every day. If this is not possible, then it is better to close them from their eyes, otherwise they will not be able to get rid of the feeling of cluttering the room.
