We choose finishing materials: what you can save on and not regret

Even ordinary cosmetic repairs require considerable expenditure of energy, time and, of course, finance. And when it comes to capital, owners often try to find ways to save by the time they finish. At the same time, almost no one wants to buy the cheapest materials because of their poor quality. To find a middle ground, save a budget and at the same time make a durable stylish finish, you need to follow a few simple tips.

The first one is about tiles. It is clear that any wet room in priority should be tiled, but it is not necessary, for example, to lay out the entire bathroom or bathroom with this material. It is enough to finish about 1.2 meters in height, paint the rest of the upper part of the wall with a suitable moisture-resistant paint or wallpaper.

Interesting design ideas can be realized with the help of broken tiles. It can be bought at special prices in stores that sell the remains of various collections that are no longer produced.

Also do not forget about mirrors. It is enough to hang several mirror fragments side by side or as a whole to reduce the area required for laying tiles.

As a flooring, an excellent option is porcelain tile. Such a tile can be quite cheap, but you need to consider that in this case the quality of the pattern on it will be low. Therefore, it is better to give preference to simple patterns, such as: decoration under a natural stone like marble or onyx, an imitation of a wooden coating is also suitable, which is more relevant for the design of a kitchen or hallway. Also, for a minimalistic design, glossy or matte plain tiles will be characteristic.

In dry areas of the apartment on the floor, it is important to lay a laminate of 32 or 33 class. He has a good margin of safety, and it’s better to choose a pattern that is as natural as possible, because if you purchase an inexpensive option, the image of valuable wood may look too artificially. An excellent reserve for the future will be the acquisition of a laminate with a castle connection. Firstly, it is quite fast and easy to fit, and secondly, if damaged, you can replace several planks and not disassemble the entire floor.

Decorating the walls with good quality wallpapers is really worth a lot. To reduce the cost of such a finish, you can purchase a textured plaster of fine paint, it can be painted in any color and at the same time it does not need an absolutely even wall. In addition, wallpaper for painting with any texture can also be glued to walls with minor irregularities, and it is easier to work with them. It is also worth considering the option of focusing on a single wall, usually this is part of the room where there is a bed or sofa.
