Short guide on saving money: how to do a renovation without spending too much

Do without reconfiguration

You will save money on demolition of old and construction of new walls, and accordingly on the work of a repair crew. Plus, you won't have to pay for approval of reconfiguration.

Leave original walls

What are your apartment walls made of: brick or concrete? Leave some surfaces untreated. Believe us, it is much cheaper to clean and coat construction brick with lacquer than to plaster, spackle the surface, and then lay decorative material on top.

Paint all other surfaces

If you don't plan to use the cheapest paper wallpapers, then paint for the whole apartment will definitely cost you less. And don't overthink perfect wall leveling: especially if you have paintings on the walls, shelves, and bookcases.

Coat parquet with lacquer

Restoring or replacing parquet with new one will be expensive. A more affordable way to update the surface is to tone it with lacquer.

Or lay laminate over it

If you can't update the parquet, leave it until better times and lay laminate on top. This way you'll save time and money on removing the floor covering. Plus, parquet will serve as sound insulation.

Check the IKEA catalog

Yes, we know some IKEA furniture models have already become boring. But what to do if they fit perfectly into any interior and are reasonably priced?

Repaint your grandmother's furniture

You don't have to get furniture from your grandmother: old chairs, dressers, sideboards, and tables can be found on flea markets or on Avito. You just need to wash, sand, and repaint them in a suitable color.

Do without upper kitchen cabinets

By ordering only the lower part of the cabinet, you will pay almost twice less. The lack of storage space can be solved with mounted shelves.

Do as much as possible yourself

Agree, not everyone can properly level walls or lay tiles evenly, but laying laminate is within reach even for a devoted office worker.
