Original ideas for repairs

Creative people need to have their own sources of inspiration. Especially if your job is to generate ideas and then bring them to life. For me, such a source is travel. So at every opportunity, my husband and I pack our suitcases and go to see new places.

In our trips to Europe, we try to organize everything so that we stay for the night not in hotels, but in residential buildings. I really like some of them. home-buildingI saw them abroad and now I want to do the same. I'm trying to get my husband to remodel the bathroom.





Today's edition. "Site" will tell you 7 houseworkIt’s like abroad that you will definitely like. Why didn’t I think of it before, it’s so convenient?

Renovation ideas

1. Shelves in the wall
   In order not to be upset due to the fact that the furniture in the bathroom does not last long, and after 1.5-2 years the shelves begin to swell, disperse at the seam, are covered with leaks due to high humidity, it is worth thinking in advance of this moment even before repair. For example, in one of the apartments in Budapest, I really liked the idea of capital. tiles.

   I already have a stone bathroom at home, and now I really want to make built-in shelves, because they are not in danger. They look stylish and can also be washed easily. Of course, this idea is not new and it can be seen in many design catalogs, however, it is still not as popular as in Europe.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Maximum natural lighting
   Practical and economical Europeans make the most of natural light. There is even a rather caustic joke that it is squeamishness that is the reason that Europe is made to go to bed early and get up early, because there is no need to pay for daylight!
   
   
   
   In foreign apartments you will not see dense curtains in window openings. In most of the houses I visited, the windows hung light curtains of light colors or even one tulle. Blinds are also very common, because with their help it is much easier to regulate the intensity of light penetrating into the apartment.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Vertical radiators
   We have this kind of heating of apartments is almost not found, and meanwhile, often vertical radiators look almost like an element of decor. Plus, those who are constantly cold, like me, this option will also like the fact that you can heat a large surface. By the way, you can paint such batteries in the right color for your room, making them almost a work of art. However, even just white long batteries look much more stylish than short ones.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Socket switch
   And this is a really golden idea, especially for travel enthusiasts like me. In order not to pull the plugs of all electrical appliances from sockets before leaving and, as a result, not to kill this socket, you can simply turn off the socket. This idea I noticed in London, the locals just press the switch button, and the current in the socket no longer comes. Also an undeniable plus is that unused sockets in this way can be easily protected from young children. Even if the baby pokes something long, nothing happens.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Own crafts instead of factory accessories
   Your art photos, embroidered paintings, children's drawings, ceramic vases made with your own hands, handmade candles are much cooler than the purchased decor from Ikea! Everyone has a favorite handicraft hobby or gifts made by the hands of your loved ones, so why not fit them into the interior of the house, instead of Chinese consumer goods from decor stores.
   
   In many French apartments you can see family photos and various relics, which are not hidden somewhere in the bowels of the house, but are in the most honorable places.
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Seasonal items are stored in storage
   I've always been fascinated by pictures from European balconies that look nothing like ours. They don’t have an old refrigerator, boards in case I want to do something with my own hands, a closet with remnants of materials after repair. All you can see there is a chair or chair, preferably two, and a small table at which you can have breakfast in the morning in the warm season.
   
   
   
   
   
   Many Europeans believe that the apartment is not a warehouse, but a place of rest! So, seasonality Residents of urban apartments are stored in special warehouses, where they rent special boxes. In our country, this practice is also gradually spreading, but to complete victory in the difficult task of freeing apartments from trash is still very far!
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. Eco accessories
   Another popular supplier of accessories to the homes of Europeans is nature itself, or rather natural materials that they use as decor. Unusual driftwoods, shell panels, live plants in beautiful clay pots, ikebana, small wicker baskets and linen wipes - all this you can find interiors of foreign apartments.

Precious meters are barely enough for one or two lockers or racks, and therefore the balcony naturally becomes a place for storing old and unnecessary things.
