No wonder the people say that the main test for a young family is a repair. But if you think in advance all the "subtle places" and the details, the first apartment will bring many positive emotions to the newlyweds.
Know your budget
The most important rule is not to start arranging the apartment until you consider the entire budget in the smallest details. Consider how much you need wallpaper, paint, parquet board, find out how much the furniture you need, the work of the Washing Machine Masters - Provides all the operations that you have to do with your apartment and add 10-15% for this amount Unforeseen expenses (and they will).
Otherwise, there is a risk that you, for example, buy a super-expensive wallpaper, and there is not enough money to buy a table and chairs to the kitchen or have to wait for the next salary. It is better to start repairs when you have at least 50% of the total amount, otherwise the repair will reach forever.
Choose the most optimal solution, and not the cheapest
It is clear that the budget for the arrangement of the house for a young family is usually strongly limited, but do not succumb to temptation to buy all the cheapest. In the issue of repair, finishes and arrangement of the apartment as never relevant to the saying "Ice twice pays." The cheapest pipes in the kitchen can break through immediately after the completion of the repair and lead to terrible losses and damage in property (including the property of neighbors).
The cheapest sofa breaks up, is sold and simply will lose its freight look after the six months of active use. If in the bathroom you decide to paint the walls, and not put the tile, be prepared for the fact that pieces of paint will swear over time and fall off from the wall. Of course, there are solutions that greatly save the budget, but it is better to consult with professionals for what it is worth saving, and what is not.
Do not abuse temporary solutions
As you know, there is nothing more permanent than temporary. Somehow-hung grandmother's Tulle in principle solves the problem of "bare windows", but from the type of windows in the scenery of these curtains you will be faded. Of course, you can, of course, be content with a sofa as an ironing board, but the fact that you have a temporary solution will foreseably continue to buy an ironing board.
Non-eaten, hung like fishing lines for drying on the balcony, Believe me, will live you forever, if you do not concern this question immediately. The price of these little things is usually not critical, but brings a huge discomfort to those who use these temporary decisions, so if there is a choice, it is better to solve the problem once and for all, and not to look for a temporary solution.
Well study your lifestyle
Planning your future interior, carefully examine the lifestyle of your family. The interior should help you lead your usual and understandable to you, and not just to be a beautiful picture. Do you often cook? If not, it is better to highlight a small yarn for the kitchen with the minimum necessary kitchen utensils, and not buy a full and very bulky kitchen set.
If one of you works out of the house, you need to take care of creating a full-fledged workplace - preferably disproported and quiet, so that nothing distracts from work. Do you often invite guests? If not, you have nothing to do with a huge table in the dining room and a sofa with armchairs, ready to accommodate ten people. Do you have a lot of clothes? If it is so much that it is not able to accommodate any wardrobe in the world, think about creating a separate dressing room. If not - it is possible to restrict ourselves to the purchase of simple hangers on the wheels, and not spend money on a full cabinet.
A young family, I would advise not to get involved in interior modes, if you plan to live in this interior option for many years. There are win-win solutions that I always recommend to my Russian customers: these are quiet scandinavian style, classics and fusion. If you want to make housing stylish and at the same time not to spend crazy money on it, you can arrange accents using the color of the walls - for example, in my recent draft sample solutions for Barclay LCD Honey Valley, in the interior of the fusion style I offered to paint in Bright color only one wall in the room and support this color to accessories. It turned out simply and stylish.

Use ready-made palettes
Young families rarely use the services of designers when arranging their first apartment, but this does not mean that without professional assistance to equip the house with taste is impossible. The main mistake here is the inconsistency of the colors. In order to avoid this, it is worth searching on the Internet ready-made color palettes that are perfectly combined and build the entire interior, relying on this palette.
You can also use the color ring, but here you also need to be careful and know what effect you want to achieve from color. The finished palettes in this sense are safer because they offer ready-made professional solutions. Save the palette to your phone yourself and go shopping, looking for decorative elements suitable for you in color combinations.
Coordinate interior purchases
When the interior in the apartment is mainly engaged in the wife, there is always a risk of captivating "female" solutions. 3D butterflies on the wall, wallpaper in a large flower and interior in pink colors can be the perfect solution for the apartment of a young careerist or design of nursery, but so or they are good for the design of common areas in the apartment of a young couple? Take the rule to coordinate what is going to do at least in public areas - living room, kitchen, bathroom, toilet.
The perfect option is to go shopping for home together. Otherwise, the scenario is very likely when the husband will complain to his friends on a pink sofa, and the wife - on the bear the skin, which the husband dragged from the hunt into their perfect living room. Agree on the right veto - if one of you seems to be that some item is not appropriate, the second side is unreserved from it to get rid of it, sells to Avito or returns to the store. In the end, at home should be comfortable both.
