What is better to choose: quartzvinyl or laminate? How to zone space in the nursery if you have two children? Is it appropriate to make an island in a kitchen-living room? As soon as the repair begins, dozens of questions appear. It is sometimes very difficult to answer them and not make mistakes.
We talked with Yegor Glushkov, the art director of the design and repair studio Aquarius, about what mistakes are most often made in the repair and how the service of integrated repair helps to avoid them.
Error 1. Make repair without a design project
A design project is not just a beautiful picture of your future at home. This is a whole set of drawings, schemes and plans. In them, the designer reflects the layout of the room, the placement of furniture, thinks out the wiring of the electricians and indicates all the details, until where to place the sockets and install the lamps.
3D visualization will help to understand how your home will look after repair
When drawing up the electricity wiring scheme, the designer takes into account the location of all equipment and additional lighting so that the interior does not spoil the extra wires and extension cords
Competent arrangement of furniture helps effectively use the space and divide it into zones for work, relaxation or family gatherings
Of course, you can make repairs without a design project. But in this case, it is very difficult to avoid mistakes. It may turn out that there will not be enough outlets in the living room, and extension cords will settle forever. Or, for example, an open interior door will close the mirror, and in the bedroom you will have to go around the bed every time to get to the window. It would seem that all these are trifles, but it is they who make life in your house comfortable.
When creating an individual design project in the Aquarius studio, all details are taken into account. Even if you plan to install the air conditioner only in the next season, the designer will provide for the output of the power for it in advance, so that later you do not have to stroke the wall and spoil the decorative plaster.
Error 2. Take the purchase of materials for yourself
Track the whole city in search of the “same” laminate, and then spend half a day in a construction store, deciding which is better: decorative plaster or wallpaper. This is what an independent purchase of building materials looks like.
Another difficulty that almost everyone who is engaged in repair is faced is the calculation of the number of materials. If you buy with a large margin, surpluses will remain, which then will have nowhere to put it. And if something is not enough, it is not always possible to solve the problem simply by buying the missing material. The fact is that sometimes a shade of tiles or laminate in different parties is slightly different. In the interior, the difference will be noticeable, and this will ruin the overall impression.
In the Aquarius studio, a full -time company is engaged in the purchase. It helps to choose materials, selects analogues if necessary, agrees with suppliers about favorable terms and controls the delivery of materials to the facility.
Already at the stage of preparation of the project, the designer is a detailed list of the necessary materials. In the statement, he indicates the exact number of materials and the address where they can be bought
Error 3. Hir builders without recommendations
To entrust the repair of an unverified brigade is not the best idea. Such a decision can present many unpleasant surprises. For example, workers will confuse centimeters with millimeters on the drawings, and the sockets will be at a different height, or the designer wallpaper will be glued up with their feet. In the worst case, masters can get sick and tighten the repair for an indefinite period or simply stop contacting.
It is much more reliable to entrust the decoration of the builders who work on the state. In the Aquarius studio, each master has passed careful selection and specializes in specific types of work, which means that 100%is responsible for their quality. In addition, the technical supervision is accepted by all stages of repairs, and the designer controls that the project is implemented exactly with the plan.
Error 4. Buy ready -made furniture, and not make to order
It seems that buying finished furniture in the store is much faster and easier. You come to the shopping center, choose a suitable design and wait for delivery in just a few days. But in reality, it may turn out that the rack does not fit into the provided space due to a couple of extra centimeters. Or in the niche for the cabinet there is a little space left, but it will not work to use it rationally.
That is why furniture is best done on an individual project. First of all, this applies to filling for dressing rooms and kitchen sets, because here you need to take into account many nuances. So, even your growth is important for the kitchen and how often you cook, and when designing a dressing room, you need to understand how many people will use it.
You can place a dressing room even in a small space. An experienced designer will select a suitable solution for your layout
Of course, it is not necessary to make all the furniture in the house to order. It is much easier to purchase bedside tables or, for example, shelves for the zone above the desktop.
In the article, we talked only about part of the errors that can be made without enough experience in repairs. Some of them are eliminated quickly and inexpensive, and with others you will have to put up until the next repair. But in the Aquarius design studio, all the pitfalls of the repair will help you to get around and create the interior of your dreams.
