Cut the estimate, but still knock out the planned budget? Failure to laminate, mounted toilet and several other items will help save money without much harm to aesthetics.
It is logical that when it comes to budget repairs, always hand about hands with him is simplicity: finishes, materials, interior solutions. Today, conciseness and minimalism in the trend, so we offer to take advantage of fashion trends to save the family budget.
1 stretch ceiling instead of suspended
The era of complex ceiling structures goes into oblivion, it is for the better. Several levels on the ceiling fitted with patterns, decorative printing and illumination is a disaster. The ceiling immediately becomes lower, in such a room you want to dug and open the window: there is not enough air. And in the corners of the ceiling structures, dust constantly accumulate. In addition, such a ceiling is quite expensive. Excellent idea to save - order stretch ceilings. These are those that are mounted using a heat gun. The most successful solution is light matte material. It looks like whitewashes, but unlike it does not require an ideally smooth surface.
2 Repair without balcony
Heat the balcony and arrange it, as an additional functional area - a wonderful idea. But if you want to save on repair, it is better to refuse it. You do not increase globally, because it is forbidden to attach balconies with the demolition of partitions and the transfer of radiators. But the cost of insulation and glazing will decently increase the estimates.
3 Choosing in favor of inexpensive tiles, not laminate
Flooring should be durable regardless of whether you plan to budget repairs or do not save. Outdoor tiles are one of the most reliable and durable flooring for the floor and walls. Laminate can also serve for quite a long time, but he is more capricious to moisture. And the coating with good wear resistance will cost quite expensive, the tile can be selected at a lower price. The only minus last is the cold floor. This problem can be easily solved by purchasing new slippers, they are much larger than quality laminate.
4 toilet non-installation
The old good drain tank may not look so fashionable as a concise suspension installation, but can save you a few thousand (or even more) rubles. At the same time, a global aesthetic error in the installation of another type of toilet bowl will not be: in form and color, you can choose the maximum approximate to the suspension model, only without the cost installation and with the presence of an outdoor leg, which will slightly complicate the cleaning process in the bathroom.
5 Failure from hidden hatches
Yes, hidden hatches are more aesthetic than simple plastic. They can be bought by tiles, they do not spoil the overall interior of the bathroom. But they are not as an example more expensive. Plus, much more chances that complex guides of the hidden hatch break are broken than simple holders of the usual. If you, for example, white walls, the usual hatch can very well fit into the bathroom interior. Or manifest a fantasy and mount the hatch with your own hands from the booth doors.
6 Electric heated towel rail instead of water
The heated towel rail, which works from electricity, is convenient immediately in several indicators. First, it can be turned on and off when it is convenient for you, no constant work is required, as in the case of water. Secondly, it doesn't need to pull pipes for him, enough socket that is in each bathroom. And, thirdly, it is possible to install it anywhere (it is enough to proceed to the outlet at the draft work).
7 Failure from tile decoration and borders
Budget tiles and a decor with a claim for a luxury - lamb. If you decide to save, it makes no sense to try to hide it. It is better to bind walls inexpensive monophonic tiles than trying to make a similarity of Roman bath with frescoes and borders, which can be found in the nearest store.
