5 Main Rules of Budget Renovation

Designers from the 'Pencil' Studio shared tips on how to decorate your apartment and save money. Without compromising the beauty of the interior!

Choose Minimalism

Minimalism is no longer trendy, but it remains stylish and budget-friendly. This style involves a limited number of furniture and decor items. The entire aesthetic lies in simple yet well-thought-out architecture.

Don't Rush to Throw Away Furniture

Furniture eventually wears out. If the damage is severe, it needs to be discarded. However, more often than not, minor wear and cracks appear. In such cases, furniture can be slightly repaired — for example, repainted. Additionally, sometimes these pieces look vibrant and become a highlight of the interior.

Maximize Brick Usage

Brick, like concrete, is considered a cheap and practical material. First, clean the masonry from plaster and check the wall's condition. If what you see doesn't shock you, then working with brick is possible. For example, it can be whitewashed.

Solve Problems with Paint

Use regular paint instead of expensive wallpaper. Color is a universal element. For example, it can be used to accentuate areas in the room. If you try creating interesting contrasts, you can easily hide imperfections (such as uneven walls) or simply transform a boring interior.

Smartly Distribute the Budget

Even a minimal budget should be wisely divided into several components. First, purchase everything necessary to live in the apartment: plumbing materials, construction supplies, lighting, and more. Then fill the space with interior items. Allocate remaining funds for apartment decoration ideas.
