Repair of a one-room apartment in a new building

Now more and more people buy apartments in new buildings, as they are cheaper than equipped ones. And also in such apartments, you can make repairs from scratch, following your preferences.

The first thing to do is to draw up a design project, how the finished apartment will look like.

After that, you can proceed to all the necessary work.

Here, most likely, you will need to contact the specialists, however, if you have the necessary knowledge and skills, you can do everything yourself.

Electrical wiring in the new building is present, but there are no sockets, switches and lighting. Most often, there is light only in the corridor. Therefore, it will be necessary to connect sockets, switches and light bulbs to the output wires.

There is also a pipeline in the new building, which is always closed at the time of repair. Sealed meters must be installed on hot and cold water. It remains only to connect to the water and bring all the necessary equipment for the house.

The floor and walls will need to be leveled. Most often, new buildings are sold with bare walls, floor and ceiling.

To level the floor, you will need to use a screed. A screed is a specific layer that is located between the concrete and the floor itself. It can be single-layer and multi-layer. A single layer consists of one layer, and a multilayer of several. The multi-layer screed is capable of withstanding maximum loads. Thanks to the screed, you can not only level the floor, but also hide the pipes.

Aligning the walls is an important process. At this stage of repair, you can not only smooth their surface, but also remove all defects that appeared during construction. It usually takes the longest to align the walls. You need to start it with plaster.

Here you need to follow these rules:

• before starting work, it is recommended to apply a primer to the walls to protect the surface from fungi and strengthen the base;

• the solution is prepared strictly according to the instructions;

• work must be performed at a certain temperature regime and it is advisable to leave it unchanged for at least 3 days;

• all tools must be thoroughly washed after repair;

• if there is a need to apply additional layers of plaster, then this procedure should be carried out only on a completely dried previous layer.

Experts advise to apply the plaster in three layers and carefully choose the finished mixture, since there are so many varieties on the market now.

Ceiling decoration is also an important stage in the renovation. Since shrinkage usually occurs in a new building within several years after construction, the choice of finishing material should be taken seriously. The main thing is to choose one so that cracks do not appear on the ceiling during shrinkage. Experts most often advise for new buildings to choose lime, paint, drywall, MDF panels, plastic panels or stretch ceiling.

Decorating an apartment is not only a difficult process, but also time-consuming, so it is better to contact a specialist. They will be able to advise on materials, as well as advise on all the necessary issues.

If you want to do the finishing work yourself, then remember to follow the necessary rules so as not to spoil anything.

Finishing can be rough and fine. Roughing includes the installation of partitions, windows, doors, floor screed, as well as electrical, plumbing and plastering work. Finishing includes finishing with decorative materials.

Finishing can be done by yourself and at the same time on a budget. Choose the materials you can afford. There is now a large selection of decorative decorative materials. Therefore, everyone will be able to make repairs in accordance with their financial capabilities.

Decorative finishing materials include paint, wallpaper, lime, linoleum, parquet, panels, tiles and much more.

What type of repair to choose for a one-room apartment in a new building with an area of ​​45 sq. m. is a big question, but at the same time it can be solved.

The main thing, think it over well and calculate how much the repair will cost... Then it will be possible to make it not only beautiful, but also of high quality, which is also very important.

After the budget has been determined, you can proceed to the choice. There are three types of repairs in total: cosmetic, major and euro.

This type of repair is a great option for a new building. Here it will be possible to embody any idea to change the appearance of the home. It is imperative to prepare a project before starting renovation work.

Overhaul includes:

• preparation of walls, floors and ceilings for work;

• leveling walls and floors using the necessary materials;

• the formation of a screed for leveling the floor;

• installation of partitions made of plasterboard, brick or other material;

• plasterboard ceiling or whitewash;

• installation of a communication system and hood strictly according to the project;

• installation of plumbing equipment;

• putty and wall painting;

• laying tiles;

• installation of flooring.

The cost of such repairs costs about 270 thousand rubles for an apartment of 45 square meters. But since there are many companies now, you can choose both cheaper and more expensive.

The best option for those who have a limited budget. There will be nothing global here - the design will just change. This type of repair is not suitable for a rough apartment in a new building, as a preliminary overhaul will be required. Make-up is always the last thing to do.

Redecoration includes:

• painting windows and doors if necessary;

• wallpapering or painting walls;

• painting pipes and batteries;

• laying flooring;

• laying tiles.

Cosmetic repairs can be started without a project, simply by prescribing all the stages of work for clarity and a miscalculation of the cost of each of them.

The material costs for such repairs will depend on the price of decorative materials, if all work is carried out by the owners themselves. If a company does cosmetic repairs, the approximate cost will be about 135 thousand rubles.

One of the most expensive varieties. Such repairs are carried out following the latest fashion trends and only according to the design project. Without him, they won't even start work. Modern materials and new technologies will be applicable here.

Renovation may include:

• dismantling of walls;

• combining or dividing a bathroom;

• complete redevelopment and decoration of the entire premises.

This type of repair will allow you to implement any ideas of the apartment owners. The main thing here is to decide what it will be: economy, standard or luxury.

Renovation is carried out by firms, and its price will be rather big. For an apartment with an area of ​​45 square meters, the cost of such repairs will cost about 450 thousand rubles.

A studio apartment usually has a standard layout. But even from a small room, you can create a cozy and comfortable "nest". The designer can help with this, or you can think over everything yourself.

The design includes several stages:

• floor;

• walls;

• lighting;

• furniture.

You need to start from the floor. To do this, you need to think about what it will be in color and material. Laminate, linoleum and tiles are in great demand. The material must be selected live, and not through an online store, so that you can touch and understand the texture.

When decorating walls, the main thing is to understand whether the wall will be open or obscured by any furniture, so that after that you can decide on the materials. On the walls, wallpaper is usually glued, painted, plastered, laid out tiles or "wild" stone. With walls you can fantasize and do whatever your heart desires. It is important not to overdo it and make it look beautiful.

Lighting in the room can be not only basic, but also additional. Additional light sources include sconces, floor lamps, LED strips. They are usually installed where the accent wall is.

The choice of furniture is one of the most important steps. For one-room apartments, it is worth making custom-made furniture. For the price it will be more expensive, but the furniture will correspond to the size of the living space and will not take up extra space, which is very important for a one-room apartment.

You can choose a stretch ceiling or something from the most budgetary one. Choose skirting boards in accordance with the color not of the floor covering, but of the interior doors. Doors should match the color of the selected room color. If there is more white, then choose doors of that color.

A few recommendations for those who equip a one-room apartment:

• to make the apartment seem more spacious, choose light shades and more compact furniture;

• it is better to make partitions made of glass or wood;

• to visually divide the apartment into parts, make the floor of a different color, for example, put gray linoleum in the kitchen, and pink in the rest room;

• do not choose wallpaper with a large print, as this will make the space visually small.

After all, every mistake costs not only time, but also money.
