Do-it-yourself bedroom repair - construction stages, design options and modern decoration features

Repair in the bedroom is the most crucial stage of the overall repair. Your daily well-being depends on how comfortable and healthy the environment will be here. Together with Timur Abdrakhmanov we tell how to make repairs competently and achieve maximum comfort.

How to maintain health and create comfort?

Use natural building and decoration materials, hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly. They are also called "breathing". This is a tree of all kinds, cork, paper, fabric, veneer, concrete, brick, glass, stone, bamboo, tile, porcelain. Cheap paints, varnishes and mastics, which include heavy metals, are hazardous to health,

Provide Fresh air circulation: Avoid multi-layered curtains, sophisticated décor and flooring. Leave a minimum of furniture

Give up from coatings of bright and glossy shades. With caution, it is worth using huge mirrors on the ceiling and walls, according to Feng Shui and folk tradition. For relaxing and good falling asleep, the calm colors of the decoration and the muted colors of the decor are suitable,

• Don't be limited the upper light in the form of a huge chandelier. It is more convenient to have more local light sources and walk-through switches that allow you to turn off the general light from a prone position.

How to choose a design style?

• If a small bedroom, bet on high-tech, minimalism or Scandinavian style. Why? The fewer objects in the interior, the more spacious and airy the room will seem,
  
• For the interior large rectangular bedroom Renaissance, classic, eclectic styles will do. What's important? Place lockers, chests of drawers, chairs along the walls, without cluttering up the central space,
  

• INspacious bedroom relevant classic, provence, country, loft, scandinavian style. All of them are based on the use of natural materials in decoration and decor: tapestries, carpets, fabrics, porcelain, glass,
  
• For studios ideal eclecticism, loft, Scandinavian style. Mix objects of different styles. The reward will be maximum functionality with a minimum amount of furniture.
  

How to dilute the wiring?

Bedside lights must have switches at arm's length, and for the top light, provide for several modes of operation. For this, a dimmer is suitable,

• Feed-through switches needed: With their help, you can turn on and off the lighting of the upper light from two or more different installation locations. It's comfortable,

More than switches and sockets, all the better. Above the bed in the center, make three switches: a passage for the upper light in the middle, left and right for bedside lamps,

• Comfortable temperature provide heaters and air conditioners. Plan outlets for them and you won’t have to live with extension cords.

Which ceiling is easier to do?

The most familiar finish is painting using interior water-based paints. In order for the paint to lie evenly, the ceiling will have to be plastered and putty first. You can choose the right shade in a specialized store that offers tinting services.

Painting is simple: apply several layers of paint on the prepared surface of the ceiling with a wide paint roller. After each layer, let the ceiling dry. Apply the next layer perpendicular to the previous one - and you will get a uniform color.

Another option is a plasterboard suspended ceiling.A special frame is attached to the ceiling, including brackets and guiding elements - bearing U-profiles and connecting C-profiles. Plasterboard slabs are already being mounted to them.

Such a ceiling is heavy, therefore it should be fastened to the floor slabs very carefully, using anchor bolts of 100-120 mm. However, the ceiling made of drywall allows you to organize different levels, as well as to obtain a complex system of built-in lamps for more diverse scenarios of lighting the room.

What wallpaper to use?

• Paper. The main advantages are a large selection of colors and textures, environmental friendliness, ease of pasting. However, paper wallpapers will not work if the bedroom is too sunny: the paper will quickly fade in the sun,
  
• Vinyl. Strong and durable. A significant drawback is that they do not allow air to pass through. True, there are already hard vinyl wallpapers on sale, which have no such drawback, but they cost more,

• Non-woven. The best option for decorating the walls of the bedroom. Wallpaper allows air to pass, easily stick, eco-friendly. The only minus is that they require a perfectly even initial surface,
  
• Textile. In fact, this is a paper wallpaper (base) on which the threads of the fabric are attached. The result is a coating with high rates of heat and sound insulation, eco-friendly, pleasant to the touch. The disadvantage is that they attract dust and require special care for the coating.
  

Style

When planning an update, consider as many style decisions as possible.

The most common styles.

Classical. This is one of the most common images that does not go out of fashion and is always relevant. It corresponds to simplicity, maximum freedom in space, the use of natural materials in decoration, the use of neutral colors. Choosing this style means making a choice in favor of time-tested design methods.

Modern. It is characterized by naturalness and lightness, a variety of spotlights, multi-level ceilings, themes stylized with floral and animal ornaments, the atmosphere should be comfortable and functional, many decorative additions are welcome. It is suitable for extraordinary self-confident people.

Japanese. In it, each detail carries a separate semantic meaning. It is characterized by natural materials, a low and spacious bed, built-in wardrobes, diffused dim lighting. It will appeal to people who value order and system.

Provence. Soft, pastel colors, paintings, decoration made from natural materials, vintage antique furniture are characteristic. “Provence” is a unique opportunity to plunge into the atmosphere of peace and comfort, to feel the proximity of nature.

Make a choice, real photos of modern design of bedrooms will help you.

Types of Repair

Having decided on the style, we move on to the second stage of repair. Selection of the type of repair.

Cosmetic. This is the easiest way to return attractiveness and comfort. It will take a relatively minimum amount of time and money.

Capital. This is a set of measures to improve the premises with the replacement of wiring, windows and doors. Repair is more complicated and expensive, requiring the involvement of craftsmen.

Redevelopment. This is a repair with a change in layout, demolition or relocation of the walls; special permissions must be issued for it. Having developed the project, having received all the permissions, you can re-equip everything for yourself. You can’t do without specialists.

"European-quality repair" This phrase means work according to all European standards using only expensive imported materials. For high-quality execution, a design project is created.

Budgeting

In the next step, you make a step-by-step plan for repairing the bedroom. With your own hands you will do it or hire a professional.

It is not necessary to do all the work yourself. Part or all of the work can be assigned to qualified workers.With their experience, it will be better and faster. In addition, you will save on the purchase of tools.

Make a list of building materials (it is better to purchase them with a small margin), additional equipment.

Bedroom Repair - Planning

This room actually has many features. This is a place to sleep, and a place to store things and, often - a study. Therefore, when starting to repair a bedroom, it is necessary to think over design elements, layouts and functionality in advance.

What to look for:

• decide what size the bed will have and where it will be located in order to correctly place the outlets for bedside tables.
• you should immediately clearly know where the TV will be - to install 4-5 outlets there, and bring the TV cable
• if there is a desktop - for it also needs a block of sockets with an Internet cable

How to make a ceiling in the bedroom

Everything is of course subjective and depends on personal preferences. To get the big picture, let's look at all the most common modern options for performing the ceiling during repairs in the bedroom.

Stucco with painting

Here, in my personal opinion, just plain, white stucco ceilings with painting is the best option for a bedroom. I think the ceiling in the bedroom should not focus on itself. In addition, he must "breathe." Therefore, the use of several levels, highlights, glossy surfaces does not seem entirely appropriate for this room.

Drywall

The use of plasterboard ceiling construction in the repair of an apartment is justified in several cases:

• when there are overlapping defects that are not advisable to level with plaster
• when there is a desire to make several levels of the ceiling, build in lights, conduct communications behind them (electrics, ventilation)

Drywall construction can be combined with a stretch ceiling.

See photos of successful examples of drywall ceilings in the bedroom.

Tension

A stretch ceiling is a tension on an aluminum frame or plastic profile, a canvas made of vinyl film (PVC) or fabric.

Since this material is newer than the previous options, I will dwell on it in more detail.

From the user reviews follow such advantages and disadvantages of suspended ceilings

Pros of Stretch Ceilings

• Subjectively like the view
• Durability (30 years or more)
• They create a perfectly smooth surface.
• Quick to install
• Glossy, visually increase the height of the room
• Cope with flooding from above (keep water)

Cons of suspended ceilings

• Of roads
• At first there is a smell
• Seam - width of PVC (European) tape up to 2.7 m., If necessary, welded
• Chandeliers must be selected with reflectors
• Afraid of sharp objects

Stretch Ceiling Recommendations

• If you decide to mount a suspended ceiling - take only high-quality material and normal installers,
• If the smell does not disappear for more than a week, then call the masters - let them change the film
• Check material certificates (fire and hygiene). There you can see the country of the manufacturer of the material.
• The more angles and arcuate bends there are, the stretch ceiling will be more expensive (30 percent)
• Matte PVC ceilings are more versatile for use in the interior.

Walls in the bedroom decoration and decoration

• Light tones expand the space, dark - on the contrary
• Natural and natural colors are preferable.
• More than 5-6 different colors in the room should not be used, the effect of variegation will be created. This does not apply to shades of the same color - they can be used without restrictions.
• The more colors you use, the softer they should be
• In order to choose the best interaction of colors among themselves (including the interaction of walls with furniture, curtains, etc.) - use the color calculator

Consider color combinations like in the photo:

How to make the floor in the bedroom

The load on the flooring in the bedroom is low (significantly lower, for example, than in the hallway or kitchen), so there is no need to use the hardest coatings (tile, laminate). Take a look at such natural coatings as cork board and parquet - they will add coziness.

What to look for when choosing a coating

• parquet of course is preferable to parquet board
• parquet board may be scratched. Actually when the family has small children or pets
• wooden floor is better from hardwood (ash, Canadian maple, oak)
• if a cork board, then only glue (not lock) and varnished
• floor heating only makes sense in short off-season periods. The rest of the time in the bedroom it is not particularly used

Dark floor or light

• The main disadvantage of the dark floor is that it is less practical than light
• The main advantage of the dark floor is that it looks (subjectively) more beautiful
• If the floor is dark, then not monotonous. So that less specks were visible. Better even with a variegation of light.
• Also with a dark floor, a robot vacuum cleaner has worked well

After re-reading the forums, I can say that reviews about the dark field are much worse. That is, people made it to themselves and many regretted it. Mainly due to the fact that any contamination (dust, crumbs, wool, spots) is easily noticeable on it and therefore it is often necessary to wash it.

Basic design principles

The technology for repair work is the same for all rooms. However, when designing a bedroom, you need to consider certain features:

• It is best to use natural “breathing” materials that do not interfere with the flow of air into the room and do not cause allergies. For example, it can be paper, veneer or wood.
• To rest was comfortable, you need clean air. Therefore, it is worth abandoning an excessive amount of furniture (in total, furniture should occupy no more than 50% of the space), as well as floor coverings and interior details that collect dust.
• If you pay attention to the repair in the bedroom with your own hands in the photo, the options for the most part are made in soft, muted shades. It is this color scheme that does not distract attention and promotes quick relaxation. But multi-colored, bright and glossy surfaces should be avoided. No place in the bedroom and mirrored ceiling or walls.
• Bulky central chandeliers are not entirely appropriate. To ensure a cozy atmosphere will help sconces and mini spotlights. Soft, diffused lighting can come both from above and from the side, for example, near the bed or on the sides of the mirror on the dressing table.
• Those who make repairs in the bedroom need to remember that there should not be more than three textile materials in this room. The main motifs on the bedspread covering the bed should be duplicated on the curtains. To decorate the room, select soft and elegant fabrics, such as velvet, sheared velveteen and plush of muted shades. Textiles in the bedroom should be a background that does not overshadow the attractiveness of basic accessories.

Cosmetic

It involves cleaning the premises, replacing the balcony block or window and flooring with a new floor covering. Wallpaper is also re-glued, the ceiling is painted, curtains are replaced and screens are installed. Such a repair of a bedroom with your own hands is inexpensive, therefore it provides an opportunity to save.

Decorative

In addition to all the components of the previous type, during such repairs the floor, ceiling and walls are re-decorated. Perhaps warming the balcony and dividing the room into zones. Refers to the decorative repair and the device of light partitions.

Capital

Due to the complexity and complexity, it is available only to skilled craftsmen.In addition to cleaning and drying the room, overhaul of the walls and ceiling can be carried out, as well as their insulation. The floor screed is also being replaced, it is being sealed and insulated.

European-quality repair

For high-quality repair in the bedroom, photo options will become an indispensable tool in creating a unique design that emphasizes individual style. Any type of repair work, including cosmetic, can be attributed to European-quality repair. However, it can be performed by people with a well-developed taste and knowledge of the basic techniques of work, or using the advice of an experienced designer.

With redevelopment

Most often, such a repair in the bedroom involves its combination with a balcony, the installation of capital partitions, or a panoramic window. Such work is impossible without the development of the project, special permission based on documents. Professional control and issuance of a job acceptance certificate are also required. Therefore, redevelopment can only be carried out by builders who are able to qualitatively make technical calculations.

Preliminary work

At this stage, it is planned to create schemes and drawings of the future room. It is even advisable to draw on the sheet the proposed option so that you can clearly see all the details. Many experienced designers recommend that room owners imagine themselves in such conditions in order to understand whether they will feel comfortable and cozy in such an environment.

Once you have decided on the design and scope of work, you can proceed to the measurements, calculations of the necessary material and its cost.

Manufacturers offer a wide selection of various building materials, so everyone can choose for themselves a truly suitable option for any wallet. In the next stepneed to prepare the room: all furniture is taken out of it, or the items are simply covered with a special protective film.

If you plan to replace the wiring, then dismantled lighting devices, switches and sockets. Then the old coatings are removed.

Dismantling old coatings

This is the longest and tedious job, taking a lot of time and energy. It is necessary to free the room from unnecessary things. Remove everything that is screwed, leaving empty walls. Remove old wallpaper, skirting boards, flooring. To clean the room, take out construction waste.

Ceiling

Quickly and inexpensively, you can hide irregularities, hide electrical wiring and communications using the installation of drywall. In addition, it can be used to create an original multi-level ceiling. When reviewing the bedroom repair in the photo, you can often notice the use of stretch ceilings from fabric panels. They not only look attractive, but are also easy to use.

Walls

To finish the surface of the walls, you can use paper wallpaper. They are inexpensive, easily glued and are environmentally friendly. Preference should be given to plain wallpaper or with an elegant pattern. The original result is a repair of a bedroom in an apartment with photo wallpaper and decorative plaster.

This is the final stage of work. When performing it, you need to consider that in the bedroom, many walk barefoot. If you use natural materials that are pleasant to the touch, such as parquet, wood or cork, then in the future you can not buy a carpet or track. Also, depending on the design of the room, linoleum, laminate flooring or self-leveling floors may be suitable for it.

Electrical wiring

When working with electrical wiring, remember that the room will accommodate lighting devices that work offline. Place the switches for the lamps located next to the bed so that you reach them with your outstretched hand. Otherwise, you have to constantly get up to turn them off. For the upper light, it is recommended to choose several operating modes.Provide a separate outlet for the heater and an outlet for the air conditioner. Maintaining the correct temperature in this room is especially important. Even if it’s not planned to buy an air conditioner now, it’s better to give everything you need in advance.

Design project development

Before starting the repair of any room, it is necessary to draw up a competent design project, covering absolutely all aspects of the upcoming actions. Not everyone knows what a design project is, what stages it includes, whether they are a necessity.

A design project is a combination of the necessary documentation, design developments and a list of building materials.

In order to correctly plan everything, you must adhere to the following order:

• Stage 1 - discussion and budget determination. At this stage, all available financial resources that can be invested in the repair of the bedroom are calculated. This step helps to avoid unreasonable spending.
• Stage 2 - work with the designer. This stage involves the development of the interior, making plans and drawings, thinking out the smallest details regarding the situation. If finances do not allow, it is not necessary to resort to the help of a specialist, you can make a plan yourself.
• Stage 3 - discussion of building materials. After discussing the concept of interior design, it is necessary to decide which building and finishing materials will be used for repair.
• Stage 4 - calculation of future expenses. The next step is to calculate the required amount of materials, as well as future costs, based on real numbers. After counting, the budget can either increase or decrease.

The design project should consist of these basic stages.

Any minor additions, equipping the premises with accessories and decorative elements that are not part of the decoration are not prescribed in the design project.

DIY repair steps

There is an opinion that the repair is easy to start, but impossible to finish - it can only be suspended for a while. However, this opinion is misleading, since with competent development of the project (as well as the coverage of absolutely all the details), the repair can be considered completely completed.

Many do not risk starting this process, because they underestimate their own strengths and use the help of third parties, whose pay may be somewhat overstated.

It is only necessary to study in more detail all the stages and difficulties of this process, as it becomes clear that making repairs with your own hands is not so difficult.

You can slightly update the room by making light cosmetic repairs, affecting only the external decoration of the walls, ceiling and floor. Easy redecoration will be relevant in a room where there are no serious damage and parts requiring immediate replacement.

When redecorating, there is not even a need to replace furniture, so the room remains almost in the same form as before the decoration was replaced, it just takes on a slightly updated and more recent look. Major changes require major repairs - with a complete replacement of furniture.

To make a major overhaul, it is necessary to cover many details. It is worth understanding what is included in the process of this type of repair, what important details must be taken into account.

Window replacement

In houses with old wooden frames that have fallen into disrepair, as well as with plastic windows that have failed, windows may need to be replaced. Very often in the repair process, this stage is skipped because it seems overly costly, but its absence can lead to rather serious consequences. Old windows can let in drafts, moisture and freeze too much in winter.

Own replacement of windows is not as expensive as that made by any person from the construction companies.

It is enough to observe a certain sequence:

• It is necessary to take measurements from window openings and order the appropriate double-glazed windows in the company or purchase them in specialized stores.
• Next, the old window frames are dismantled. Carefully separate them from the window openings, being careful not to damage the walls.
• Then you need to carefully prepare the window openings for installing new double-glazed windows. It is necessary to remove the old materials used to install the windows, as well as to eliminate all damage that occurred during dismantling.
• After this, it is necessary to install a new window, securing it with special metal pins, without which it simply will not hold.
• After fixing the window in the opening, it is necessary to close all openings and slots with the help of mounting foam.
• The final step will be the filling of the areas covered with foam, small cracks, as well as the painting of the slopes.

Replacement of windows is carried out first of all, since it can cause damage to the wall covering, which is undesirable after decoration. They may lose their original appearance, and will have to carry out work again.

The layout of the necessary communications

If you want to make the bedroom more comfortable, you may need to breed communications. You can highlight the existing options for how best to do this, as well as communication options that can be carried out to the bedroom.

First of all, this is electricity. Sometimes the central lighting located in the central part of the ceiling may not be enough, so you should think about additional points.

To save space, bedside floor lamps can be eliminated using additional ceiling elements or wall sconces.

You can dissolve electricity from the central point of lighting, if it is quite powerful, from the electrical panel, if repairs are carried out in the entire apartment, as well as from the nearest outlet. In the bedroom, you should make hidden wiring, for which you need gating walls.

In the same way, you can draw lines to create additional electrical access points - sockets.

If the bedroom is next to the bathroom, toilet or kitchen, you can easily lead pipes into the room, equipping it with an additional point of water supply.

To do this, you need the following:

• first of all, the plumbing permit obtained at BTI,
• properly designed scheme of plumbing piping,
• pipes for hot and cold water, other plumbing elements.

Do not make pipes in the floor, because if leaks occur it will be extremely difficult to eliminate them without damaging the flooring. It is best to use walls for this, fixing the pipes and closing this area with special cabinets.

The wiring of central heating is likewise carried out.

Rough finish

If you are going to begin the process of finishing the premises, it is better to take care of the rough. Not everyone knows what a rough finish is, what it is for. Indeed, not every experienced specialist does it.

Roughing is necessary, because without it it is impossible to make a high-quality finish. Thanks to the preparation, it is possible to significantly extend the life of finishing materials, since they will be more securely fixed to the walls of the apartment.

In addition, it is believed thatrough finish can even slightly enhance the noise insulation and temperature control properties of the room. It is understandable, because with a rough finish all the small cracks and holes missed during construction will be sealed.

It is worth noting that the breeding of communications and the construction of drywall constructions are also referred to as rough finishing.

It is necessary to analyze in more detail the main stages of the rough finish, the features of each of them, as well as get acquainted with the list of necessary materials.

Floor screed

Another stage of rough finishing is working with the floor, namely the implementation of screed. A floor screed is called an intermediate layer of flooring, which separates the foundation laid during construction and decorative elements.

Floor screed is a necessity for several reasons:

• the base, as a rule, is not very smooth, it has many flaws, so the screed is made to level it,
• if the wiring of pipes and heating is carried out under the floor, screed will also be a necessity, since this wiring will need to be hidden,
• screed is also necessary for the competent, safe distribution of thermal insulation properties,
• screed is also made if there is a need to create any slopes.

Laying the final floor covering without screed will make the floor ineffective and reduce its thermal and noise insulation properties by several times.

The screed also has a light soundproofing effect. This is especially true for repairs in the bedroom located in the new building, since the noise insulation properties of such houses are usually minimized.

Rough wall finishes and floor screed reduce noise.

There are several types of screeds, and each of them has some characteristic features.

Wet Ties are made by combining a dry mixture with an aqueous solution. Screeds of this type exist in two versions: knitted and floating (which serves to provide the greatest degree of noise isolation, which is ensured by laying the mixture on special mats).

Dry screeds placed on the surface with expanded clay and special plates. Surfaces are treated with plaster or cement mortar to hide the resulting seams.

Primer for ceiling and walls

After leveling the surface and applying putty, it is necessary to prepare the walls and ceiling for the final finish. To do this, apply a layer of high-quality primer. The primer is a special solution that serves as a kind of adhesion between the surface of the wall or ceiling and the finishing material.

The primer also has protective properties, preventing moisture loss from finishing materials. The thing is that concrete has the feature of excessively strong absorption and absorption of moisture, which can lead to a fairly quick drying out of the material, loss of all elasticity and premature failure.

Primers are divided into several types and are selected in accordance with the surface to be primed. In addition, the humidity of the room and the purpose of the material influence the choice.

One type of primer was created in order to serve as a layer between building and finishing materials, while others are needed only for processing the base of a wall or ceiling. And the third ones are completely distinguished by the properties of deep penetration, which is very important for walls made of fragile, bulk material.

The primer may need to be applied in several layers, depending on the type of solution itself and the surface of the wall on which it is applied.

It is possible to start the final finish only after all the primer layers have completely dried.

To determine if the wall needs additional priming, after the first layer has dried, it is necessary to draw along the surface with your hand. If dust remains on the palm of the material from which the wall is made, repeat the procedure.

Finish finish

After rough finishing and preparing the walls and ceiling, proceed to the finish. It includes decorating the walls, ceiling and floor with the necessary finishing materials.

Materials must be selected in advance, since the preparation of the walls should be carried out in accordance with the type of finish.

Do not be very smart when choosing materials.Having overestimated your strengths, you can simply not cope with the task and not complete the repair of the bedroom as you would like (or not complete it at all). However, we will discuss the choice of material a little later, now we will consider the main stages of the final finish and their features.

Finishing includes work on the surfaces of walls, ceilings and floors.

The sequence of processing the parts of the room that need to be decorated can change, depending on the chosen finishing material.

Building Material Tips

Of course, an important aspect of any repair process is the selection of high-quality building materials. You need to understand what you need to consider when choosing what should be given special attention, as well as find out the features of the most popular materials.

It is necessary to analyze the supply market - in order to identify the most profitable price variations of the same product. The repair process (even one bedroom) requires a considerable investment, so a small saving will not hurt.

It is worth considering what qualities and characteristics must be considered when choosing a particular material:

• Any material should not have sharp unpleasant odors. The slight odor remaining after factory products quickly disappears, but the pungent odor characteristic of low-quality low-cost materials can persist for a long time, adversely affecting the well-being of a person.
• The material must have antistatic properties., preventing the accumulation of static electricity, which can violate the conditions of comfortable living.
• It is very good if the material contains antibacterial componentsthat prevent the formation of fungi and the growth of harmful bacteria, which also may not be the best way to affect health.
• Of course, the material should be beautiful and provide a wonderful holiday., because the sleeping room is designed for just that.
• Any building and finishing materials must be durable and durable.since the annual renovation of the premises through repair is overhead and unreasonable.

You can select the most suitable finishing materials for various parts of the room.

For the ceiling

For convenience, it is worth considering the advantages and disadvantages of various ceiling coatings on the example of a comparative table.

For walls

The best option for bedroom wall decor - non-woven and high-quality vinyl wallpapers. It’s best to choose meter meters, since they are more convenient to glue, and the whole process will take much less time.

Suitable wallpapers are neutral light shades, because in the bedroom bright colors are not very appropriate.

For those who want to add color to the interior of the bedroom or create an atmosphere of something unusual, decoration is suitable decorative plasters or unusual muralsglued to one of the central walls.

For the floor

There are many options for flooring, you can choose any - in accordance with individual tastes and needs. The easiest to install, for example, is considered linoleumwhich looks very attractive. In addition, green linoleum, with hypoallergenic components in the composition, is a newfangled development.

Similar in ease of installation is considered carpet - carpet distributed over the entire surface of the floor in the room. Such material can be laid in the bedroom, if you are interested in softness and warm floors. The disadvantages include the inconvenience of caring for such material. Carpet has many advantages.

Laminate is the most common floor covering. It is affordable, practical and will last quite a while. There are quite a few design solutions: you can lay white, brown, dark or colored laminate on the floor.

It is impossible not to mention parquet board. This coating is better in quality than the laminate, but it has one feature - it is necessary to cover the floor with special parquet varnish.

As a special design move, you can use the construction of the structure two-level floordecorated with different finishing materials. Two-level floor will be the highlight of the bedroom interior.

As for the tiles, bulk, cork floors, as well as the tiled surface, the main thing to note is that everyone decides which cover is best for his own bedroom.

Decoration

Creating a bedroom decor, follow certain principles that do not contradict the general style. Modern design involves laconic forms, unusual accessories in the decoration of furniture, textiles, lamps.

The main thing is to avoid a large number of elements that clutter up space. You can decorate the wall at the head of the bed with murals with a city landscape, image of flowers, abstraction.

To design photos and mirrors, use simple frames, not weighted by additional elements. It’s not worth arranging a gallery; one original picture will be enough.

At the end you will receive a beautiful repair in the bedroom. Create a special place in your home that will give you a great mood, and you can be proud of your creation.

Matrimonial

To divide the space into different zones, you can use the LED backlight. Shades of blue are ideal for relaxation, green tones will help to concentrate on work, and red color will emphasize the intimacy of the atmosphere.You can also use textile wallpapers for visual division.

If the room is spacious, then the bed can stand out with a decorative headboard and canopy. In addition, this area can be supplemented with a chest of drawers, statuettes and vases.

For unmarried

When you make out you need to consider the lifestyle of the owner of such a bedroom. For example, if this is a bachelor who has concentrated most of his time on work, then behind his bed it’s worth creating a working area, designing it in dark shades. Additionally, it can be separated by a Japanese curtain.

For a man, bedroom repair and design should be more rigorous. The work area becomes the center of the interior, and the bed can, for example, be built into the closet. It is also convenient to use a secretary in the working area, which with a raised countertop will not take up much space.

Small common room

Making cramped rooms is a rather complicated task. One of the key points in creating such an interior is the use of a built-in bed. As for the children's area, it should be the entrance.

To separate the zone for parents from the space for children, it is convenient to use a partition made of plywood or drywall. Another option is Japanese curtains, sections of which are filled with foam. This design will help to muffle sounds.

For kids

In addition to creating an atmosphere for a comfortable sleep, inspiration and a positive mood are also very important for a child. Therefore, you cannot do without a creative approach. Children's beds will help to show their imagination to the maximum. You will also need to equip the playing area and the territory for classes. It should be noted that the most important criterion for choosing furniture in this case is the safety of materials and structures. If the room area is small, it is very convenient to use transforming furniture. For example, it could be a bedside table-chair.

Ceiling selection

For ceilings, stretch ceilings or plasterboard finishes are often chosen. The latter option is especially popular due to the fact that it is possible in this way to easily and inexpensively mask the defects and unevenness of the ceiling. Drywall helps hide wiring and other communications elements. The material is functional, with its help a beautiful ceiling design is created. For example, a multi-level ceiling is performed.

Bedroom Repair: Using Drywall Bedroom Repair: Stretch Ceiling

Stretch ceilings have many advantages. In addition, design ideas are practically unlimited. You will receive any design, any shades and colors, with any image and more. But you won’t be able to install the suspended ceiling yourself, only specialists do it.

Classic design

Usually it is chosen by people with strict conservative views. It is worth noting that this style is ideal for rooms whose area does not exceed 13 m ?. The surfaces in such bedrooms need to be decorated in light shades that visually increase the space. Elegant wood furniture gives a special chic to the room.

Country (rustic) style

It has many varieties and can, for example, be English, French or Scandinavian. Such directions involve surface finishing with simple materials of light shades and the use of unusual wooden furniture. Graceful ornaments and cute textile details, for example, bedspreads made using the patchwork technique, will help to make the bedroom more comfortable.

Eco style

Those who cannot imagine their life without unity with nature should pay attention to this particular direction. Its features are natural finishing materials and colors, as close as possible to natural shades.

If desired, a unique folk color can be created in the interior of the bedroom. For example, it may be African, Indian or Arabic motifs.

Sea or Mediterranean

The basis of the design of the room is white-blue shades that visually expand the space, and details of the sand color make the interior warmer.

To emphasize the original design of the bedroom, it is also worth thinking about creating beneficial contrasts. To do this, you need to choose the most appropriate shade of wood for the interior. So, for example, light wood is best combined with the interior, decorated in white and blue shades. While pine, walnut or beech furniture ennobled with matt polishing does not impose any restrictions.

Wall Repair

The stage begins with leveling the surface of the walls. To do this, use plaster or drywall, from which special structures are built. Then proceed to decorate the bedroom. It is better to use paper wallpaper. They are environmentally friendly and inexpensive. As noted above, this is an important aspect for the bedroom. Sticking paper wallpapers is easy. Even a novice who previously had no experience in pasting coatings will cope with this. It is worth noting once again that the shades of wallpaper choose neutral, calm, with small drawings. The color of the wall covering should be in harmony with the shades of the ceiling.

Interesting fact! As a decoration of the bedroom, some use decorative plaster. This floor is unconventional for this room. But it helps to create an original room design and will look beautiful.

Flooring

Floor arrangement is carried out at the last stage of the bedroom repair. When choosing a material, you need to consider that in this room they walk barefoot much more than in other rooms. Choose natural materials that are nice to touch. Suitable wood, parquet, laminate, linoleum. The need to purchase a carpet that will not accumulate dust. Coatings are also easy to care for.

Bedroom Interior Idea: Floor Carpet

Furniture decoration and arrangement

It’s worth starting decorating a bedroom and arranging furniture only after completing all the finishing work, installing lamps and sockets. What style of furniture will be, you are determined at the very beginning when drawing up a design project. Then you think through everything to the smallest detail, and then bring it to life.

Bed allocation

Often, a canopy is used to decorate the bed. It can be purchased at the store or made with your own hands. It is not quite suitable for a small bedroom, it looks massive and inappropriate, takes up a lot of space, and in a small room there is so little space. In this case, use the space above the bed for decoration. Hang a picture or decorate the head of the bed.

Furniture arrangement example

Wall decoration

Often use wall paintings. Not the whole room is painted, but only one wall. Choose the one behind the bed or opposite. If you do not like the painting, it is changed to vinyl stickers or photo wallpaper. Art painting is done only by professionals. Stickers and murals can stick each independently. Choose an image that matches the overall interior of the room.

Use of textiles

In addition to curtains, bedspreads and curtains in the bedroom, use curtains on the walls. An unusual solution that will add comfort to the room. It is better to use this technique in large and medium-sized bedrooms, since such decoration will steal a few centimeters. For a small bedroom, this can ruin the view.

Additional decor

Additional elements of bedroom decoration are lamps near the bed and vases. They can be combined with shades of the overall interior or look like a contrast to the general background. Often used do-it-yourself lampshade.

Approaching the repair in the bedroom carefully with a careful study of each issue, you will achieve the desired beautiful design in a short time. It is important to plan everything to the smallest detail and clearly follow the plan.

Types of bedrooms

Bedrooms according to the set of characteristics can be divided into the following categories:

1. Parent (matrimonial) bedroom,
2. Children bedroom,
3. Bachelor bedroom
4. Bedroom in a one-room apartment (odnushka).

All types of bedrooms can be either of a simple configuration in plan or with an alcove - a wall niche for a bed, with or without a balcony. We will analyze in order the bedrooms of couples or groups that adhere, so to speak, to the exotic nature of the relationship, we do not touch.

Children

In families for which repair is a problem and a reason for reflection, the children's bedroom and the children's room are one and the same. There are many questions here, especially if the kids have to share one room, so the nursery is the subject of a separate description.

Bachelor

As the unforgettable Lelik put it in The Diamond Arm, there is no married man who would not even dream of being a bachelor for at least an hour. That is, in the life of bachelors there are romantic moments and ladies visit them. Hence, there are the same requirements as for a married bedroom, and in addition, bachelors rarely live in spacious multi-room apartments, so a bachelor’s bedroom should be able to transform into a relaxation area or study, again, inexpensively and, if possible, with your own hands.

Odnushka bedroom

One-room apartments are occupied not only by bachelors. A family living in odnushka is also not uncommon, therefore the “one-bedroom” bedroom is the same in all forms: it is both married, and for children, and dining room. Oddly enough, combine all this on 26-30 square meters. m with your own hands is still possible, and living together in such an apartment may be even more convenient than in a stupidly furnished three-room apartment.

Renovation Repair

Repair with redevelopment is most often the combination of a balcony with a bedroom and the installation of heavy capital partitions, giving a large concentrated load on the floors (brick, etc.), as well as the installation of a panoramic (French) window in the bedroom. It requires the development of a project, a special permit for work with complex documentation, professional technical supervision of the work, their acceptance with confirmation by act. To accomplish this, the builder’s experience is required, with the ability to make technical calculations and knowledge of SNiP, therefore repairs with redevelopment are independently carried out in exceptional cases.

Note:in any bedroom there should be a boudoir corner: dressing table, ottoman, chest of drawers or wardrobe. In a bachelor bedroom, the secretary perfectly combines the functions of a boudoir and a desktop with a mirror in his niche.

Light and air

An ideal repair of a bedroom should not only make it comfortable and changing according to the intentions of the person who entered (those who entered). After all, the patient also lies in the bedroom, and completely healthy people are there for a long time while they are sleeping. Therefore, the hygiene of the bedroom is no less important than the bathroom or kitchen.

But they do not use deodorants in the bedroom, and it is impossible to arrange enhanced ventilation: during sleep, it is easy to catch a cold, even with additional heating. The hygiene of the bedroom should be achieved by the most natural, laid-back means.

The main factor in disinfecting a bedroom is natural light. For comparison: such a dangerous microorganism as a pale triponema survives up to several hours in a dark room in the open air, up to 20 minutes with diffused average light intensity, and dies instantly in direct sunlight. Therefore, the window in the bedroom should be larger, and in the bedroom facing the shadow side - with full glazing, as in the picture.

Further, natural light should be distributed as evenly as possible over the volume of the room, and it should be possible to muffle it if necessary.The first is achieved by a lighter finish of the walls and ceiling and large mirrors located in places of the most intense direct light illumination. Redirect the light from the window, not really reducing its overall intensity, allows bright vertical rotary blinds, Japanese curtains, shiny plasterboard (see below) and stretch ceiling.

Air

Invisible, but quite effective air circulation in the bedroom is ensured by “breathing” walls, which are properly plastered and glued with correctly selected, see below, wallpaper. Firstly, at night such walls absorb the vapors and exhaust air of sleeping people, and during the day, when the bedroom is mostly empty, a little is emitted, and natural ventilation removes them.

Secondly, in a properly decorated bedroom, the well-known “open bottle effect” acts the other way around: the dust does not settle in the room, but is imperceptibly swept out of it. For this, in addition to proper wall decoration, you need a non-dusty ceiling and a properly selected floor covering. A huge effect on hygiene and comfort in the bedroom is provided by a warm floor, but its arrangement is a complex, laborious job, it requires the complete removal of the old screed and the formation of a new one, which is equivalent to a complete repair of the floor.

Note: the question arises - how to combine light and soft wall decoration with the requirements of increased wear resistance of their lower part? And below the walls should be dense, smooth, not soiling and not soiling?

• The simplest solution is to finish to a height of about 80 cm with plasterboard on the frame and paint it with acrylic enamel or stick it with a self-adhesive film.
• More complicated and more expensive - sheathing to the same height with a laminate, MDF, wood panels. All these materials also “breathe”, and they absorb a little light. But plastic sheathing should be avoided: it is “deaf” through the air.

Technological Techniques

The technology and the sequence of complete repairs in the bedroom are no different from those for other rooms:

1. Cleaning the ceiling and walls, drying the room.
2. Dismantling the old floor covering.
3. Repair of base surfaces of the ceiling, walls.
4. Floor repair and underfloor heating.
5. Wiring.
6. Stuccoing.
7. False ceiling device.
8. Flooring.
9. Wallpapering and decoration.

A simple bedroom repair, of course, does not include all of these stages and not all operations at each stage. But in order to decide what needs to be done and what is not, you need to have an idea of ​​the repair in full.

Cleaning and drying

The room is cleaned after wetting the old plaster with water and holding for a day with a metal spatula, the remains are removed with a cord-brush drill. Surface cleaning for whitewashing and painting is done with an abrasive mesh on a flat bar. The old wooden flooring is removed with a pry bar or crowbar and carpentry pliers with a nail puller. The tile lining is knocked down with a perforator with a chisel, they also remove the worthless screed during the overhaul of the floor.

Before starting a basic repair, the damp room must be dried. The need for drying is determined by a piece of film in 1 square. m, laid on the floor and pressed tightly along the edges: if condensation has not formed under it during the day, drying is not necessary. Dry with a fan heater or industrial hairdryer, with a slight excess of moisture. To speed up drying, you can put silica gel in cloth bags in the room, but do not spill it!

Basic surface repair

In basic repairs of the ceiling and walls, rusty layers are seamed in layers - the seams between the plates. The thickness of one layer is 3-4 cm. Foam with a gun with a thin long nose until the channels between the plates are filled.

To determine the necessary degree of repair of the floor, it is first audited. In the presence of intersecting or located on the perimeter gaping cracks, more than 2 mm wide, cracks, a major overhaul is necessary with the replacement of the screed.Separate cracks are sawn through a grinder 50-70 mm deep, dedusted, treated with a deep penetration primer on concrete and repaired with a thixotropic composition, having previously inserted marker pins. After the thixotrope has hardened, the markers are removed, the saw is grinded again, the damper cord is laid in it and filled with silicone sealant. Small potholes are covered with cement-sand mortar, tubercles are removed by a grinder with a bowl-shaped circle on concrete.

The second option for partial repair of the base floor is dedusting, impregnation with a “deep” primer, sealing cracks with silicone and filling with a cement-based bulk floor by 10-20 mm. The bulk composition is kneaded immediately on the entire floor area with a puncher with a mixer, even experienced professionals partially avoid filling the floor. The poured composition is leveled with a mop and rolled with a special needle roller. It is possible to pour over 7-10 mm more with a polymer liquid bulk floor. It simplifies flooring and provides additional insulation, but is expensive.

Wiring

For alterations to the wiring, a local energy service permit is required. It is issued on the basis of a project with an electrical circuit and installation, on the explication of the room plan, schemes. At the end of the work, the new wiring must be accepted by the energy inspector and approved by the acceptance certificate. Before starting work, the room must be completely de-energized until it is completely finished.

New electrical wiring is laid in the gates on the walls 15-20 cm below the ceiling, branches to outlet groups and ceiling lights are diverted at a right angle and lead straight. The cable is laid tightened into a corrugated hose. Under a point light, it is enough to lay one branch, and make the wiring to the lamps under the decorative sheathing in an open way with a cable in double insulation.

Cables in the corrugations are smeared with strokes of alabaster. In places of installation of outlets with a core drill, for concrete, select holes for the socket, insert the insulated ends of the cable into them and leave until the end of the plastering work. After gluing the wallpaper, they are cut with a layer of plaster over the socket, install the sockets, mount the lights, check the connection with the multitester and connect the branch to the bedroom in the apartment panel. Trial activation is performed in the presence of an energy inspector.

Plaster

First, plaster with a starting cement plaster with a layer of 10-12 mm. It is advisable to stick a polymer mounting grid on the walls with drops of mounting adhesive. If the base walls are insulated with polystyrene foam, the mesh is required, but you need to glue with water-based polymer glue (PVA, etc.). The netting net, as was done before, cannot be applied: it will manifest itself in a rusty pattern over time.

Starting plaster requires markers - beacons. They are laid on the walls in increments of 400-600 mm. In the corners should be a lighthouse. The plaster is led from bottom to top in strips alternately, leveling with a spatula along the lighthouses. Particularly carefully align the corners: the slightest gyrus will be clearly visible. It is convenient to use a special angular spatula for this.

After drying of the starting plaster, with a layer of 1 mm, plaster the finish - gypsum, white. This work requires skill: you need to immediately apply an even layer. Finished multi-layer finishing plaster does not hold well. For decorative sheathing on the crate, finishing plaster can not be done, and the ceiling for a one-piece suspended or surface coating can not be plastered at all.

Suspended ceiling

The usual bleached or dyed ceiling in the bedroom is quite good, and you can decorate it yourself well, see below for decoration and design. But for the proper design of the bedroom from the point of view of psychophysiology, see ibid., At least partially made suspended ceiling is necessary.

False ceilings are of three types: actually false, false and stretch.Armstrong-type ceilings on a lightweight frame are suitable for high rooms, and for a bedroom they are suitable only with the supply and exhaust ventilation, therefore they are not considered.

“Real” suspended ceilings are assembled from drywall on a frame of perimeter profile, bearing U-profiles and connecting transverse C-profiles. Between themselves, the frame elements are fastened with clamps - “crabs”. The frame is suspended from the ceiling with special adjustable suspensions. Such a ceiling is quite heavy, therefore, in the ceiling, blind holes for 6-10x80-120 mm anchor studs are drilled in advance with a perforator and a drill on concrete.

Plasterboard ceiling can be made curly, multi-level, in the same way you can round corners, make arches and other architectural elements. To obtain curved surfaces, the HVL from the inside is pricked with a needle roller (not the same as for a self-leveling floor) and / or incised, moistened, soaked and bent according to the pattern, but this is already work for very skilled craftsmen.

They are attached to the GVL frame with self-tapping screws, the holes with fastener heads and the joints of the sheets are putty, and then they are painted or glued with a film, or they are plastered immediately with a finishing plaster. Drywall, painted with acrylic bath enamel in two layers, acquires a mirror shine. Spotlights are easily mounted in the ceiling from the GVL, and LED illumination on the ledges of levels.

False ceiling - a simplified version of the suspended. A wooden crate of 40 - 80 mm beams is attached to the base ceiling on self-tapping screws 6x150, and plasterboard is attached to it. Such a ceiling takes up little room height. Having executed it partially, in the form of a frieze or a central ceiling, you can get a “quasi-multi-level” ceiling, also suitable for installing spot light and LED backlight.

The stretch ceiling is made from a cloth panel or a durable film. The cloth can be colored, with a pattern, mirrored, with cutouts for lights, framed with plastic or metal grommets-grommets.

The device of a stretch ceiling is basically simple: the panel is stretched along the diagonal of the room, and then it is pulled along the edges similar to a tourist shelter or a cockpit awning on a yacht. But a stretch ceiling with color and lighting effects, able to hold out for at least three years, requires high-class work and is hardly feasible on its own.

Note:it is especially difficult to add a multi-level plasterboard suspended ceiling. The cloth creates a lot of tension - the slightest slip, and the whole structure collapses.

Fair floor

Flooring is made in several ways, depending on the condition of the base floor:

• After patching and repairing cracks, the old base floor is lagged.
• On a new level screed or cement bulk floor - on a rough flooring without a log.
• Parquet on an even screed of any type - on parquet mastic after impregnation of the base floor with a primer for parquet.
• One-piece floating floor or one-piece flooring on a polymer bulk floor - directly on the screed.

Of the materials for flooring in the bedroom, parquet or solid cork flooring is best. Laminate is good if there is a carpet: walking on it with bare feet is not very pleasant. The floating floor from the carpet is suitable for those who are not lazy to walk with a vacuum cleaner once again: like any fleecy material, it collects dust.

The lath from the lag is made of crossing bars of 60-80 or 40 mm in increments of 400-600 mm. A 40-mm beam is suitable if the crate is single-level, with bars embedded at the intersections of each other. There is more work on it, and you need to be good at handling a jigsaw, a hacksaw for wood and a chisel, but the cost of lumber is reduced by half or more.

Thermal insulation made of polystyrene foam or fibrous mats is laid in the cells of the crate, and a 16 mm laminate can be immediately laid on top of the single-level crate.It is laid on liquid nails, additionally knocked out with small cloves, driven obliquely into the groove of the dowel. But first, the newly laid board or plate quickly, until the glue has seized, is pulled up to the place with a hook rule, knocking it out with a rubber or wooden mallet.

The flooring is indented from the walls by 20-30 mm for deformation. A pair of mounting wedges with a pitch of 600-800 mm is laid in the groove, and they are knocked tight. Then the groove is covered on the adhesive with a plinth. The baseboard, if required, is pre-stained with stain and varnished.

Draft flooring on the logs, if necessary, is made of 12-20 mm plywood. Plywood is superimposed on the crate in the same way, but is fixed through with self-tapping screws. Under the floor of soft materials (cork, carpet), holes with fastener heads must be puttied.

Shared small bedroom

Decorative repair of a small common bedroom is a very difficult task. Here, the first key element is the already mentioned built-in bed. It’s expensive, but you can do it yourself by choosing a wardrobe with a large niche. Secondly, the passage, of course, should be a children's zone.

If children live in the same room with their parents, then visual zoning of the space is no longer suitable, a partition is needed. It can be made of drywall or plywood on the frame, no permissions with approvals are required for this.

Another option is voluminous Japanese curtains, a complete analogue of traditional shoji sliding screens; when filling sections with foam, they drown out sounds quite well. You can make shoji yourself, and special profiles for floor and ceiling rails are on sale.
