Budget Design. "Cheap, but not at all angry!". The most budget styles in interior design What can be done with the walls

In this article, we will tell our readers about a truly magnificent home, restored and furnished without extra costs. Katherine Fugit and her husband Conan fell in love with the house at first sight, even though the property was formerly owned by a bank and was in very poor condition.


“My husband stumbled across this option on his way to lunch. He didn't even want to tell me about the place at first, because it seemed like there was too much work,” says Katherine.

A few weeks later, she accidentally saw the house online. The rest is now history.

They had to work very fast, because three months after the purchase, they had 50 guests at the wedding.

House area - 230 square meters, there are 4 bedrooms. The building was once a women's boarding house.

The 1940 census allowed the Fugits to trace the family that ran the mansion in the last century. The granddaughter of the former owners told Interesting Facts about the house, such as how her grandparents slept in the dining room and the upstairs bedrooms were completely occupied.

In the kitchen, the future spouses removed the layer old plaster to open the wooden beams. Painted everything with white paint, including old cabinets, added a new one kitchen appliances and an old plate. They also removed several layers of linoleum and polished the wooden floors.

Office Furnishings: Martha Stewart for The Home Depot; lighting: Lowe's; shells: 1000 bulbs; lamps: The Home Depot; Blankets: Atwoods Farm Supply.

Katherine and Conan color their old refrigerator under the blackboard and used old beam floor from the basement as a shelf above the stove to add even more character and history to this space.

The total cost of remodeling the kitchen was a little less than $400. Now take a look at this room before the update.

In this photo - an old stove and a completely ordinary refrigerator.

Here you can see the kitchen with outdated appliances, dirty floors and sagging ceiling tiles.

A young couple was able to make repairs without buying brand new appliances, cabinets or countertops. fresh paint and updating the main elements made the kitchen almost perfect.

The basement floor beam was placed as a kitchen shelf above the stove. To do this, they cut it off and used two brackets (about $3.50 each) to attach it to the wall.

Here is a view of the living room before it was redecorated.

Katherine and Conan decided that the National Geographic collection would be part of their living room, as this hobby is of great importance to their family. The shelves have been designed specifically for this purpose.

The color of the walls was made muted due to the colorful magazine covers, but very warm - so that the finish looks nice when artificial lighting. The main goal was to create a room like a cigar box - full of treasures and pretty pictures.

Young people rearranged the furniture so that the newly bought sofa was now in front of the windows and shelving.

The color of the walls echoes the magazine covers and yellow decor elements. Stylish sofa was just a godsend and cost only 25 dollars.

The couple also re-glazed the double-pane windows. And now you can open them at the same time as the back door to create a light breeze in the evening.

Wall paint: CrumbCookie, Olympic.

Here's what the fireplace screen looked like before the update.

Katherine and Conan painted the mantel and dining area, and added molding and a new light fixture. In order to find suitable option, they have spent countless hours poring over the blogs and designs of big-name designers on the internet.

Door painted: Black Magic, Olympic.

The Fugits family bought this hanging lamp Eden from CB2. He approached gray walls.

Paint: Ash Mist, Olympic

The 1917 bathroom lost its character somewhere along the way to the present, and then began flooding the kitchen below.

Katherine and Conan cleared the plaster from this space, removed the old tiles under the layers of linoleum, recreated its pattern, polished the old bathtub standing on legs in the form of paws. Found an unusual drain on Craigslist.

There's a $100 clawfoot tub here that's been painted black. If you're creative and willing to put in a little effort, you can do amazing things even on a tiny budget.

Exterior paint: Montpelier Madison White, Valspar; walls: White Knight, ACE Hardware; bath: Black Magic, Olympic; floor tiles: Merola, Home Depot.

This closet with blue shelving originally had a green forest painted on it, but dark color didn't work well with the rest of the room's neutral theme.

Katherine and Conan purchased these shutters from a thrift store for just $4. Two coats of paint and new hinges - perfect for a vintage bathroom!

Young people made from the third bedroom, which was previously painted in saturated colors, modern stylish office. They started with the pure white paint from Olympic and placed a built-in table and shelves with compartments for the printer, scanner and office space. Supplies. Bookshelves add pops of color and are eye-catching.

The guest room is also eloquent evidence of savings: metal carcass The bed was purchased for $10 and is finished in glossy black paint. The paintings were bought from a charity shop.

Almost every piece of furniture in this cozy dwelling was found in thrift store. Working on items in good condition and putting a little love into them is one of the best things you can do for environment and your home.

Finally! It's done. Finished another article.
This time I want to touch on a very burning topic.

Many people are convinced that design is only available to people with a large wallet, and if the budget for repairs is very limited, then you can forget about beauty and harmony. I would like, if possible, to dispel this misconception.

Of course, with sufficient funds, beauty is much easier than without them. But how does the availability of money still not guarantee good result, and modest finances are not a reason to give up.

I want to warn you right away - this article is not about how you can save on construction work. Rather, it is about how, even with a very small amount, you can get not only a “simple repair” that meets certain practical requirements but create stylish harmonious interior in line with current trends.


Before revealing simple secrets, I want to separately note three things on which in no case can't save if you make an apartment yourself and for a long time .

1. Technical communications. Pipe laying, plumbing, electrical, low power, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Their repair, replacement and installation after the repair will cost you not only additional costs but also nerves.

2. Base preparation: (floor, walls, ceiling) front fine finish. Make a high-quality screed, align the walls and ceiling (if you do not intend to use a tension one).

No expensive wallpaper can distract from slanting, crooked and humpbacked walls. And it will be especially noticeable at the joints of ceramic tiles.

Think in advance how to close the pipes in the bathrooms and in the kitchen, as well as the pipe from the hood to the air duct. Take care of the cable channels in which you can hide the wires from the TV or computer to auxiliary equipment.
Nothing spoils any interior so much as protruding wires and pipes.

3. Redevelopment. I put it in last place only because not everyone needs it. But, in fact, competent planning solution- this is where you need to start all thoughts about repair.

You can probably handle on one's own, if:
- the apartment is located in a typical "socket". The possibilities of redevelopment in them are very limited and all possible options are usually easy to find online.
- you plan a lot minor changes. Move the wall a little or move the opening ... Just make sure that the notorious wall is not a capital one. And you, by your actions, do not violate the law on redevelopment. Do not try, for example, to enlarge the bathroom at the expense of the room, or vice versa, to expand the bedroom at the expense of the kitchen or toilet.

In other cases, you need contact specialists, if:
- you decided to break down all non-bearing walls and build them again, more rationally.
- you bought an apartment free planning, and the layout proposed by the Developer does not suit you.
- you want to radically change the distribution of space. For example, make a three-ruble note out of a kopeck piece. And even carve out a dressing room.
- your apartment is atypical and you did not find any options.
- this is especially true for apartments with original architecture: radius walls and corners other than 90 degrees. ( In this case, I do not mean the "jamb" of the builders, but the architect's idea)

It will be very difficult for you to cope with such tasks yourself. It is unlikely that you will be able to find a BETTER solution for such objects.

Contrary to the opinion that designers are a very expensive pleasure, you can order a PLANNING DECISION for quite reasonable money. ( In the Moscow region, this is about 200-300 rubles. per sq.m.)

However, it will allow you to:
- Assess the potential of your home.
- Choose the most best option tailored to your family's needs.
- Get the most out of every see area.
- Act within the framework of the law on the reconstruction of premises.
Because you will be unpleasantly surprised if, after the repair is already completed, it will not be possible to legalize it, and you are unlikely to be happy if an angry neighbor appears on the threshold, waving a subpoena, because your toilet was exactly above his son's crib.
- Do without sloping walls and ridiculously protruding corners.
- Choose the most rational and least expensive solutions for further implementation.

Let's say we have decided on the layout. Now the final result will depend to a greater extent on how competently we decide on the style direction and color scheme, select the right Decoration Materials and furniture.

STYLE
Don't fool yourself... It's quite obvious (although probably not for everyone) that royal apartments, interiors of palaces and residences on a limited budget do not shine for you! We will never win a race called "expensive-rich" in such conditions.
You should not aim at such “expensive” styles as ART DECO


Or
MODERN (I mean the name of a style that appeared at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It is also called Art Nouveau, Liberty or Jugendstil)



The easiest way to achieve a good result, not only morally, but also financially, will help you MINIMALISM.



The so-called Scandinavian style.


There are practically no contraindications for them.
It is also almost always appropriate Contemporary.

To select other styles, the rule good manners reads:
The style of the apartment should match the architecture of the house as much as possible.
- Choice CLASSICS, if your apartment is in the "Stalin", it is quite justified. But low ceilings are completely contraindicated for this style.

Also, it should be remembered that the classics will require symmetry in the arrangement. You will have to give up corner sofa and other asymmetric interior items.

And yet, this choice will definitely increase your budget. Decor, furniture and accessories in classical style are significantly more expensive.
- Makes life easier and reduces costs Light Classic- a modernized version of classic interiors.


Style COUNTRY- appropriate in the country or in country house, but not always suitable for apartments. To recreate it in concrete walls you will also incur additional costs.


good old PROVENCE - will also open up best in a separate house with wooden ceilings or in the attic, but at the same time it easily fits into the interior of the apartment. Light and graceful - it is more suitable for women. A man may feel a little uncomfortable in it.


Style LOFT, under certain circumstances, will allow you not to sew up pipes and ventilation on the ceiling, help save on finishing, leaving exposed brick and old boards, if they existed there before. But it will look extremely absurd in a cramped low socket, in which, from birth, there were no bricks or boards. And you still have to spend money on their imitation, which is not always successful, besides.

Style Fusion characterizes the "combination of the incongruous", i.e. complete unification different ideas from different, seemingly incompatible styles, but in such a way that they do not lose their integrity and harmony.


Fusion might seem like "easy prey", thanks to the seeming permissiveness. If it weren't for the last clause "not to lose the integrity and harmony of the image." This is a much more difficult task than it might seem at first. Therefore, to independent use it is the least recommended.

If you have any rare pieces of furniture or decor left from your grandmother, it makes sense to take a chance. However, you must be creative person for this and be absolutely sure of your taste. Well, or you have in mind, there is such a person with whom you could constantly consult. ( Keyword"constantly".)

Thus, the use of already existing architectural features of the building in the interior, as well as available significant objects, will allow you not only to better convey the atmosphere, mood, but also save your finances.

Conversely, any violence to style entails additional funding.

COLOR
To the choice colors it is also worth approaching wisely, relying not only on personal preferences.
Of course, not only does everyone have their favorite color, but they also have their own relationships that have developed over the years with each color.

Someone white walls are associated with cleanliness, freshness and spaciousness. To others, this cleanliness seems too "surgical" and suggests a hospital.

(Although, in fairness, there are few places where there are sterile white hospital wards and even the gowns of doctors in surgery may not be white at all)

sky blue can carry airiness and lightness to one, while others seem cold and uncomfortable.


Similarly, warm peach, sandy beige shades - for some, a guarantee of comfort, for others - "stuffy, cloying, beaten."


Someone can only exist in the environment pastel shades,


and another absolutely needs the energy of bright colors.


And someone is very comfortable in a black-black room.

There are no ugly flowers. Not even incompatible combinations. With a skillful approach, you can make friends with absolutely all colors.
But for independent work you will need fundamental knowledge on the topic and specific experience. Well, or perfect taste and unmistakable intuition. And better than both, and the other, and the third ...

And if you don't have any of these, and detailed study there is no problem, neither time nor desire - the only way to "not screw up" in a big way is to minimize the risks. ( A radical way is to call a designer for help, we do not consider here).

A huge number of people choose a calm beige palette for their home.


(Designers even have such a term « bezhevenko » , not too flattering)

But in principle, they are right. Especially those who prefer grey-beige tones.



In general, the choice as a background light neutral range: white, more or less light shades gray and gray-beige - most reliable way make life easier and avoid serious mistakes in the design of the space.



They are perfectly combined with each other, including various shades and derivatives, and are ready to make friends with almost any other color.

Saturated gray colors, as well as almost black and pure black look unusual for many as a background, but nevertheless, they always find a companion in any palette without any problems.


And here, beloved by the people, peach beige and its various modifications with the addition of yellow and pink shade far from harmless. Firstly, the yellow-beige brother cannot stand his pink-beige relative (this also applies to “wooden” textures). And both of them do not get along well with bright pure colors. Of the strong contrasts, he is shown only pure black (he is friends with everyone without looking back) and selective shades of dark brown.


But, no matter how seductive the path of least resistance, we must remember that the color, its competent use in the interior - is powerful decorative technique and practically free. (A can of paint with some unusual color costs almost the same as beige.)

But the risk the right choice colors are increased. Moreover, it is difficult to combine several saturated colors with each other. Naturally, there are difficulties in the selection of finishing materials and furniture.

There are also entire sites with ready-made palettes.

But you also need to be able to use these cheat sheets correctly.

Imagine that the recipe for semolina porridge indicates the necessary ingredients: cereals, milk, butter, sugar, salt - but not a word about how much each product is needed and in what order to apply them ...
“Mishkina porridge” immediately comes to mind, doesn’t it?


Often, the same "Mishkina porridge" is obtained in the interior, even if you have chosen the right combination.
Obviously, in addition to good compatibility, many different aspects must be taken into account.

It is completely unrealistic to learn how to work with color within the framework of one article, but some useful rules yet it can be mastered.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the proportions.
- do not use two colors of the same saturation in equal volume in the interior. The ratio is approximately: 2/3 main color, 1/3 - additional.


- the brighter the color, the smaller the amount needed to be noticed and paid attention to.


Therefore, bright and pure colors should not be used as background. And even for large pieces of furniture and interior. You run the risk of soon hating even your favorite color.

On the other hand, they are great as a bright touch: a stripe on the wallpaper, a frame or a bright spot in a picture or on a carpet, a vase or lamp shade, pillows on a sofa. And for the background, a muted version is more suitable.

- to make the interior bright and energetic, it is not necessary to make a blue floor, paint the walls green and order a red kitchen. If the result disappoints you (too dark, too bright, too colorful, doesn't match well) it will be extremely difficult and very, very costly to fix the mistake.

It is much easier to add color to a completely neutral interior in the form of textiles and decorative elements. Carpet and curtains, a bedspread on the bed, pillows on the sofa, a bright picture or a lampshade - and the result will be just as good! On the other hand, you can radically change it, spending much less effort and money.


Separately, I would like to talk about the zoning of rooms using color.

You often hear:
- Bought two (or even three) types of wallpaper, how and where to stick them?
- I really want to highlight one of the walls with color, which one? Or maybe two?
So, when is it appropriate to highlight the wall with color, and when is it not worth it?

Rooms - « EXTENDED RECTANGLE" - the most common option.
- by color, we zone the room into two equal, or almost equal parts, for example, into a bedroom and a living room, into a bedroom and a nursery ...



-particularly "useful" color zoning for too long and narrow rooms. Here we can highlight the center of the room with color, visually “chopping off” the edges, depriving them of color.



- perhaps we want to make one of the walls accent with the help of color. The frontal wall (the one opposite the entrance to the room or diagonally from the entrance) is best suited for this.


- for rooms that are too elongated, it is advisable to highlight the short end wall with color.

If we want to focus on long wall- it is worth highlighting not the entire wall, but only its significant part.
For example:
1. zone in the living room where the TV hangs.



2. part of the wall in the bedroom behind the headboard.


Rooms IRREGULAR SHAPE
- color we can "cut off" superfluous corners of the room that interfere with us.
- it is quite logical to highlight niches, alcoves or ledges with a different color. ( But it doesn't have to be done a priori.).




Rooms SQUARE and close to a square .
Everything that you read about above them in most cases is categorically contraindicated!
- do not highlight one of the walls with color, do not select a piece of the wall, or a corner. This will seriously harm the original geometry of the room.
- you should not emphasize with color a lone ledge or an asymmetrical niche.
To emphasize the correct symmetrical shape of the room, we can:
- use inserts of a different color or companion wallpaper in the frame.


For rooms with relatively high ceilings you can apply horizontal zoning around the perimeter.
It can also be applied in rectangular rooms, but you should not do this in too elongated lengths.
- with an average height, the wall is divided into 1/3 and 2/3 parts.


For higher rooms, it is permissible to allocate upper part walls (about 1/4 or 1/5)


DECORATION MATERIALS
When choosing finishing materials, we cannot always afford the quality that we would like. It is sad.

But even worse, if the dream of luxury plays a cruel joke on us.

Linoleum, which pretends to be type-setting parquet or marble.



A cheap, small-format tile with a poorly applied marble pattern that is the same on every tile.


Plastic panels - "natural malachite"


- "samovar" gold and silver

Such fakes will never be able to create the illusion of an expensive interior in your apartment, but will only turn your apartment into an evil and cruel caricature of “expensive-boHato”.
If, due to circumstances, you are forced to use budget segment materials, your motto will be:
"BEAUTY IN SIMPLICITY"

"True sophistication is especially noticeable when it is close to simplicity."
Henry Ward Beecher

Buy laminate or linoleum "with taste" of a regular board . Neither expensive type-setting parquet, nor exotic breeds, nor marble, nor leather, nor fur will look organically on the surface of linoleum, cheap tiles, plastic panels and budget wallpaper coated with foamed vinyl.


When purchasing budget tiles, give preference to monochromatic collections, do not overuse decors. It is they who, with their poor-quality performance and tasteless pattern (to create cheap collections good designers attract rarely), often give out the true price of a tile.


Instead of decors, ( cheap often only in appearance, but not in price) make a “cool” mosaic with a thin strip. At high price 1-2 meters may be enough for you.

Cunning. Lay the tiles not to the ceiling, but to the middle of the wall. Currently, there are modern, very high quality paints for bathrooms. They will protect your walls like tiles. . By saving on the number of tiles, you can afford a more expensive and spectacular collection.




If you disassemble the models of budget doors, then even blank canvases or classic modest panels look much more solid than home-grown "designer type" models.

POORLY

GOOD

Walls. Do not paste over the premises of a small area, and even with low ceiling, wallpaper with large flowers, patterns, chic "damask". You yourself steal precious meters from yourself, making the room even cramped and low.

Mix and match different bedding
