How to survive the home makeover - tips

It’s frustrating and it’s hard, it’s expensive and it takes a lot of time, it’s dirty and difficult… and if you could you would probably skip it. This is the home makeover. And if it’s a big one, you can get from headache to heart attack till it’s over. Not to put yourself on such extreme challenges you need to do one simple but important thing: plan… and think of the possible breaks.
  • Time and weather planning. Although you make renovation inside, the weather can still reflect it: paint and veneer dry slower, etc. You can’t control the weather but you can control when your remodeling is. Think of where you are and what the ultimate conditions that you can get are. Then do your project according to the estimated time it may take.

Situations when it's cheaper to buy a new carpet than to sanitise the old and stained one

Sometimes no matter how attached we are to our old “present of mom” carpet, you need to replace it with new one and sometimes the situation is not so desperate. But when you need to leave it to rest in peace in the trash instead of grabbing the cleaning fluids like a superhero and start scrubbing?
  • Matted down carpet – some carpets can regain part of their like-new appearance if they are thoroughly cleaned but others like these made of polyester are better to be replaced. Their fibers are not very resilient and they mat down and even professional carpet care can’t help.
  • Olefin barber carpet – if the loops lay down then it’s time to start browsing the sites and shops for new rug. Olefin is durable but prone to matting and resilient fiber. Also it attracts dirt and it’s inclined to keep stains even after good maintenance so if your carpet is over 3 years old think of new one. This fabric is cheap, so it will be easier to replace than to clean.

How to make a regal interior at home

Magazines and advertisements, and even movies, tell us that modern interior trends are as much space and as little furniture as possible. Separate modules hanging on the walls, low clearly cut glass tables, along with a sofa in one of the angles, a vase of decorative flowers or a basket full of fruits in the other, and a large empty floor. This is considered taste. But how many of you have ever dreamed of throwing around several accents that will give the house the conservative opulence and cozy look of a royal place? It is possible and achievable. Several hints, several touches, several changes, and several ideas you may look at:

Zen bedroom - why not?

Searching for a balance and peace in our dynamic world have become a challenge - deadlines, stress, noisy environment and many other obstacles stand before our inner harmony. When we get home many times we face limited space, chaos, cacophony of styles and furniture. Even in our peaceful harbor – the bedroom – occasionally we accommodate storage space, office and sleeping area. This prevents our abilities to rest and to recharge after exhausting day. Use these Zen advices to arrange your bedroom and to get better and more refreshing sleep:
  • Use natural materials – wood, stone and bamboo should be the basic building elements of the decoration and the furniture. For more warmth use soft colors of the wood and laminate flooring. Spread a couple of cotton or woolen rugs and this can be the base of retreating sanctuary.
