Repair in an apartment always requires efforts and resources. So that it does not drag on, you need to build a clear plan of action.
In what sequence to carry out the work, the designer said Olesya Berezovskaya.
1. Measurement of the apartment
The first step is to measure the apartment. A clear plan will allow you to see the whole picture. This will make it easier to calculate the amount of required materials, designate the location of furniture, electrical appliances, plumbing and other things. To speed up measurements, you can use a laser tape measure. Do not forget to consider the height and width of the window and door openings.
2. Choice of design
Next, you have to decide on the design. The future layout, the choice of materials and furniture will depend on this. The more detailed you present the future interior, the better. When choosing a style, it is worth starting not only from personal preferences, but also from the design features of the apartment.
For example, a loft is not suitable for small-sized housing with small windows, and Art Deco will not look good in an apartment with low ceilings. Once you choose a style, you can start looking at the materials.
3. Dismantling work
If redevelopment is planned, then it must be carried out at the initial stage. It is necessary to dismantle or erect partitions immediately, and not after finishing. Before demolishing or building something, it is important to clarify whether these changes require approval from government agencies.
Not any redevelopment can be legalized, for example, it is forbidden to dismantle the load-bearing walls and equip the kitchen above the living rooms of the neighbors below.
4. Electrician
Before starting work with the wiring, you need to have a clear idea of the location of furniture and lamps in order to plan outlets and switches.
Even small household appliances should be taken into account, otherwise extension cables will stretch around the apartment. As for lighting, you need to provide not only overhead light, but also auxiliary sources - lighting in the kitchen, suspensions in the bedroom, a floor lamp in the living room. At the same stage, you can connect the Internet.
5. Engineering systems and other rough finishing
Next, you can start replacing or laying sewer and heating pipes. In new buildings, piping in the bathroom is often not done. Then comes the turn of the front door and windows. If this is not required, you can level the walls and ceiling, make a screed and arrange a warm floor.
6. Fine finishing
The next step is to install the flooring, wall, ceiling and skirting boards. If there is a bathtub, then it must be installed before laying the tiles. The rest of the plumbing is installed after finishing work is completed. Installation of interior doors is also part of this stage.
7. Furniture and decor
The first step is to deal with built-in furniture and a kitchen set. Then you can mount the cornices, arrange the rest of the furniture and hang the lamps. In conclusion, it remains to add textiles and decor.
