Short on Savings: How to Do a Renovation Without Spending Too Much

Do away with reconfiguration

You'll save money on demolition of old and construction of new walls, and accordingly on the work of a renovation 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 unadorned. Believe us, it's 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're not planning to use the cheapest paper wallpapers, then paint for the entire apartment will definitely cost you less. And don't worry about perfect wall leveling: especially if you'll have pictures 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 on top

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

Check out the IKEA catalog

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

Repaint grandma's furniture

You don't have to take furniture from your grandmother: old chairs, dressers, sideboards, and tables can be found at 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 set, you'll pay almost twice as little. The lack of storage space can be solved with mounted shelves.

Do everything yourself when possible

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