We tell you about frequent and offensive mistakes that upset rather than make you happy.
Imagine the situation: your friends bought an apartment and decided to make repairs. Hired a good team, the workers began to repair and began to ask: where will the sockets be and how many they need, where to take the chandelier, switches? Asked for drawings for installation and electricians.
Your friends ran to the designers for the drawings, deciding to do without the design project. Because the team is already working, money is spent, and you can think about the design and bring beauty later and on your own.
With ready-made drawings they continue to repair and begin to think about the interior. After work they run into furniture stores, invite you to spend the weekend in Ikea. A picture begins to appear in their heads.
Only to implement it you need to move the two sockets in the bedroom, to bring out the chandelier in the living room in a different way, to move away the duct for the extractor in the kitchen. Repair is delayed, they overpay for rented apartment, alterations and new materials. And their kitty suffers without its own angle.
In the end the repair is finished, at last the ordered furniture will be delivered, but it gets up and looks not so beautiful as in the store. The color of the contrasting wall argues with the shade of the carpet, the curtains do not match with the sofa and the interior does not please, and irritates your friends and their cat.
In order to prevent anybody from finding themselves in such a situation, we advise you to start preparing for repair in advance: at least three months in advance. And to start with "beauty". When you choose the style in detail, you will work through all the zones in detail and choose the matching furniture, decoration and decor, it will be easier to create drawings for the repair team.
Four very scary fairy tales of frequent mistakes
Maxim and Olga were in the same black-and-black bedroom doing repairs. And when it was almost finished, Maxim remembered that the boss had promised to let him work from home. They began to think about how to accommodate the workplace and realized that they would have to move the bed. The bed was moved - one bedside socket is hidden, and the other cord from the floor lamp cannot be reached. And the computer has nothing to connect to.
The guys had to remake all the wiring, the walls to repaint, workers to overpay and in the end it still somehow turned out uncomfortable.
Once Andrei started renovating his apartment and went to the dark woods to the designer for drawings for installation and electricity. The designer warned him that it was better to start with a design project. Then Andrei ordered the design project, but he was careless about it, quickly agreeing with all the proposals of the designer. Then he grabbed the blueprints and ran away to his team.
And when I started to make repairs, I realized that I wanted a different color of the walls, a bar counter in the kitchen and a book corner instead of a dressing room. But it was already too late to make such corrections and the treasury did not have enough money to redo the design project and all the drawings together with the repair.
Three pairs of iron shoes were worn out by Faith until her apartment house got here. And since the treasury is poor because of the mortgage, and move in very much, Vera decided to make the repairs "fast and normal.
Since then, Vera has been walking around her friends' apartments and is upset because they have an interior that is like a custom-made dress, and she has just a skirt from a store.
In the thirty-ninth kingdom lived very busy Nikolai and Rosanna. They had no time to go shopping and look. They hired a designer, he charmed the design project and strictly punished them to buy everything exactly according to the list. But when the heroes came to the shops for the first time, they were confused, looked at and bought everything that seemed beautiful.
And when the purchases were brought home, it turned out that everything did not look and does not match.
How not to get into a terrible fairy tale:
- Start to prepare for repair in three months.
- Shop by myself, take pictures of everything I liked, and analyze at home.
- Subscribe to blogs about the interior and beautiful accounts in P interest.
- Find the designer and study his portfolio.
- To go through all the stages of creating a design project with him, to determine the style preferences.
- Get the drawings and hire a repair team.
- With the help of a designer to buy furniture and decor, accurately recreating the design project.
Done, you are delightful!
Bonus for those who already have workers in the hallway
If you found this article too late and the repair has already started, there is still a way out. You can order the "Planning solution" service and make the necessary drawings. It's budget-friendly and relieves you of the headache with the builders. And then, if you want, you can start making a design - a project.
There will be a small over payment and you may have to face restrictions because of the drawings and work already done. But this is a good way to avoid major design problems and get your dream home out.
