How to make repairs in an apartment cheap

Repair costs sometimes force people to constantly delay its implementation. It seems that such an event will irreversibly and permanently undermine the family budget. However, inexpensive repairs are a reality.

For quite affordable money, you can easily make your nest more modern and update the finish if you use certain techniques.

If there are animals or small children in the apartment, you can safely abandon the wallpaper in favor of decorative plaster. Such a wall covering will not suffer from scratches, plasticine, drawings and other pranks that can easily destroy the wallpaper. This is a durable finish that can last for decades. Despite the fact that most varieties of decorative plaster are quite expensive, decent options that do not require large expenses can also be found. An example is textured plaster. Finishing it will cost about two hundred and fifty rubles per square meter. If you consider that the application work is also included in this price, the competitor for the wallpaper appeared extremely serious.

The next moment is the decoration of the ceiling. Want to choose an inexpensive, but practical and beautiful solution? In this case, it is worth considering stretch ceilings. Only a few hours will be required for the installation of such structures. There will be no dust and dirt after, special preparation of the base ceiling is not required. If you choose a budget paint, the ceiling will first need to be not only cleaned and primed, but also plastered. The trouble with stretch ceilings will be much less, and the cost of their installation approximately corresponds to the color.

For flooring, it is best to choose a laminate. Yes, this coating is designed for about twenty years of service and is afraid of water, but at the same time, the finish price is as cheap as possible. It is impossible to find an option that would provide a decent decorative effect for such a price. This option does not have any bright minuses.

In the bathroom, when carrying out an economical repair, it is worth abandoning the usual floor toilet. Suspended models are not only more practical, but also take up less space. In addition, they are more economical, their maintenance does not cause any difficulties, despite the fears of many unfamiliar buyers.

You can also save on lighting. Spotlights will provide the light no worse, but at the same time cost less than a decent chandelier. With the stretch ceilings that have already been selected above, this option of lighting fixtures combines perfectly.
