Tenants of rented apartments it is necessary to solve several problems: how to redecorate without spending a lot of money, what to do with old furniture how to hide the fact that throw is impossible.

So, we need conversion. But first you need to determine to what extent they are possible, what tactics to choose. Alas, here we have many things to discuss with your landlord.

If you can do the repair
Now it seems to very much cozy, bright apartments with good repair. About this option and say nothing – to change there is most likely nothing required, except that to add some small things, accessories, that your style, that sets the mood. But this housing certainly will not be the cheapest option.

If you want an economic-variant, you may go to the apartment where the repair was at least 10 years, with the old stuff and not too spacious. And this, the most common variant, often in need of repair. If the owners allow you to do this, fine, but there is also the Golden middle. If you don't plan to live here for, say, 20 years, and it is not worth spending all your personal savings to bring in the exemplary form of foreign real estate.

Repair should be easy, cosmetic, not necessary to redo everything. First, change what really fell into disrepair. Second, focus on what gives the effect of instantaneous transformation. Definitely a new Wallpaper. They can provide a fifty percent success. Further – you can lay the linoleum or carpet, but not plank flooring.





Tiles in the bathroom and the toilet – of course! You can change a kitchen apron, and not necessarily it should be of tiles, you can use the special panel. As long as it's clean, tidy, the view was well maintained. Everything else can be changed through the decor, without a radical intervention.

If the repair can be done

Unbelievable but true – often the home (especially pensioners) are forbidden to make any repairs, but even rearrange the furniture. Unexplained, of course, why don't people want to improve the apartment for others. Well I do not want – do not. Not necessary in this case to be discouraged. Any apartment you can always upgrade, and by other means. And the first step is to get rid of unnecessary stuff.





Solved the problem of the old things
Very often in rented apartments is broken furniture, broken appliances, and all this stuff in there and is blocking up all the space for life. But the owners cherish them all and throw not going. Discuss with them several options.

Firstly, it is possible to shield on the balcony of a compartment or a cupboard, where they are folded. Second, you can stand in the pantry, if there is one. Third, it is possible to arrange in the apartment hanging drawers, shelves, attics for old things. Fourth, if there is a garage, things can be put there. In the fifth, in the hallway, you can make a wardrobe-closet (unless, of course, the size of the corridor allow).





If the owners of any of the above do not agree, then the solution is to place the sofas at an angle, the old stuff behind sofas, and on top to make lining of plasterboard, furniture Board. Or simply to group all the trash in one place and make a barrier-a curtain of fabric or use blinds. Smaller items folded into special cloth bags with zippers (these are sold for closets) and cupboards.





Active decor
Any interior can be decorated so that it will look new, active, style accessories. Please note that any accessories and the decor was removable without damaging the walls, floor, furniture, otherwise the hosts will be full of claims. Carefully inspect the apartment, first and foremost, you will need to decorate that fell into disrepair and catches the eye.





Shabby, old furniture from 30 years ago, which is "screaming" about yourself, you can easily transform due to the removable covers or new curtains.

But with the help of textile covers, solved in the same way, you will visually combine not combined with each other pieces of furniture in a single ensemble, and also will create the style that you want.





Ceramic tile with a defect in the kitchen or bathroom is easy to decorate, and at the same time to distract attention from defects with the use of decorate. The covers and blankets – things removable, decorate easily be removed without causing any harm to the surface on which they were pasted.





If the Wallpaper is fading, stains, and even holes – block them the same an, and – posters, pictures in frames, various panels, mirrors and even drapery fabric. Such jewelry is best to choose in a large scale performance. Krupnoformatnoy completely distracts from any Wallpaper. Sometimes the entire wall can be closed with suitable posters, of course, with unobtrusive subjects.





Heavy, dark, and stripped the table is easy to disguise when covered with a suitable cloth. You can also cut from beautiful, popular with you Wallpaper, the detail in the size of the tabletop, to put this item on the table, and put the glass also cut to the shape of the tabletop.





On the floor lay a new carpet or "family" of small rugs, depending on the appearance of the floor. Bright large rug (white, cream, sand) creates the impression of a new floor without repair.





To make the interior individual, you can always buy a small coffee table, a table lamp, an Ottoman, a small lamp, vase or hanging ornament – and in the interior appeared interesting details, which, in particular, can visually "justify" some of the items of the owner's furniture (which, as we know, decorate the can or any you can make or hide). They don't take up much space, but will create the style.

 

Definitely need to change the design of the window. The old curtains down. Instead, hang a modern, beautiful fabrics, better light, from eco-friendly materials. Play with the window design. You can make a beautiful pelmet to hang layered curtains to attach them all kinds of pendants, make a beautiful pick-up, hang Drapes asymmetrically and even make them different, then linking textile in different designs in the composition by use of appropriate cushions, Ottomans are handmade.





Don't forget about other household textiles – be sure to change towels, pot holders, textile stuff. It is inexpensive, but the impression they create everything new is good.





It is very important to fill the interior of a rented apartment things that are dear to you that remind you of something good. These things and give a feeling of home, of comfort. It can be any little things, but they will create the right mood. Try all these personal things to put in prominent places in the apartment or even to create for them a special area.

In General, the key to ensuring that rental housing is cozy, is to create a beautiful eclecticism of his personal belongings and belongings of the owners of the apartment, adding literate "link" between them and original ideas.
