Renovation of the living room

When the budget is limited, what is the best place to spend it?

Let's start with the most important place in the house - the living room.

When dealing with a limited budget, interior designer Michael Ohayon recommends focusing on the sofa.

I therefore recommend not saving and investing in a heavy and luxurious sofa with a presence, which will upgrade the look of the space.

In addition, it is advisable to add a rug to delineate the area and choose tables that produce a game like one large table and one small one, or three tables of different sizes.

With the rest of the amount you have left, you can choose one wall and make it very dominant with a unique look using wallpaper, a picture or other decorative objects. "

, Additional options open up for you.

"The first thing I would do with such a sum," Ohayon continues, "is to create a decorative wall that will blend in with the TV. "Emphasizing the uniqueness of the house, it can be a work of art like a sculpture or interesting equipment or all kinds of small and special pieces."

According to Shlomit Zeldman, who owns an office for architecture and interior design, "The first thing I would research with a significant budget is pallets that mean floor and ceiling.

When braces are successful, the whole design is successful.

I would choose flooring such as marble, stone or parquet, a matter of about 300 to 600 NIS per square meter.

For a living room with an area of ​​40 square meters, for example, the budget for flooring will amount to about NIS 20,000. "

Another section in the budget will be dedicated to lowering the ceiling of the living room allows to place recessed lighting fixtures, perimeter lighting, scenes of lighting fixtures that are directed to the wall, create aprons for the curtain.

"The lowering and adapted lighting give the space a very special look, compared to a prominent and dominant lighting fixture in the ceiling. Such a budget of lowering the ceiling and investing in lighting fixtures - will cost you about 50,000 NIS.

Dominant wall in the living room - a wonderful place for wall cladding combined with carpentry, or a fireplace that contributes greatly to the look and atmosphere in the living room.

Estimated costs - NIS 50,000 ".

With the money left in the budget, Zeldman recommends investing in quality and beautiful furniture, rugs, artwork, curtains and the like.

"If the space is large and allows, I recommend placing the sofa or seating system in the center of the space," says Orly Gohar Ben Harush, home designer of the ellita living chain.

"In that case we have to take into account that we have to choose a sofa with a perfect finish because all its parts will be exposed and it will be a key element of the living room. The size of the sofa depends on the size of the living room and depending on the size we can choose the living room. "It can also be in one of the corners of the space, for example next to the fireplace, and then we get a quiet and calm corner but also an interesting design statement."

Kitchen renovation

After taking care of the living room, we move on to the next central place in the house - the kitchen.

The field of kitchen design has developed in recent years and many innovations can be found in it.

I recommend staying with the basic kitchen and dressing it and adapting it to the needs of the family members," says Daniel Ohayon.

It is also possible to add a unit of island and environment to place bar stools, and actually turn the island into a dining area.

that remains, it is worth adding lighting fixtures or a curtain.

"" In interior design, planning must never be compromised! "

"Planning must be tailored to whoever is in charge of the kitchen and uses it the most and the needs of the household members must be taken into account from the kitchen. In the kitchen you can compromise on materials or items, but never on the planning. We are entering an interesting era "In their dimensions, things that are created by hand and not by machine, are exclusive and prestigious. At these price levels, people ask a carpenter to come to their home and adapt the kitchen to their needs and requirements, so that the kitchen will be of better quality."

"The main difference between a budget of 150,000 and a budget of 400,000 is in the level of finish.

The higher the budget, the higher the level of finish, work and products. The level of forging, for example, can significantly jump prices. In general, I recommend using Formica Amazing for the kitchen.I recommend designing the bottom cabinet so that it will consist of large drawers with a division into interior elements that save space and money, but with the right design that takes into account our storage needs.In addition, many people forget the items we have on the counter in daily use. "No matter how much we invest in the kitchen - it will not look good. The heart of the matter is not the material, but the design. If everything is in the right location and proportion and well planned - it will look very beautiful."

Bathroom renovation

One of the most popular renovations in the last two years - replacing a bathtub in the shower.

We end the article with another room in the house that has received increasing design attention in recent years - the bathroom.

Interior designer Michael Ohayon recommends: "For starters, I would use standard-sized tiles that are considered relatively cheap, measuring 120X60 in a concrete-terrazzo look. Can not be seen.

Inside the shower I offer to create a niche for soaps for a clean and aesthetic look, without racks or a hanging external fixture and a 60-inch drainage ditch, on which the tile is dressed.

Such a budget allows us to use faucets and sanitary ware in colors like black or gold as well as the installation of a hanging toilet with a concealed flush tank in a matching color.

The bathroom cabinet should be large and include storage of about 4 large drawers, if you want to make it interesting, you can add color or combine CNC cuts.

It is recommended to hang a floating mirror and on both sides falling light fixtures that will frame it, as well as to incorporate in the space decorative items such as a ladder for hanging towels. "

Interior designer Keren Gens explains that "both with a budget of NIS 150,000 and a budget of NIS 400,000, it is mandatory to start with the plumbing and replace it all. There is no such thing as just replacing interfaces or replacing floors, but first of all replacing infrastructure and I recommend installing a menorah For each bathroom, which will allow us to close only one bathroom in case of flooding. Special".

"On a higher budget we can choose more expensive materials such as resin - a durable and flexible cladding material based on resin and water and has a particularly high resistance to moisture and abrasion. The resin produces a continuous, homogeneous and uniform appearance and gives a sense of space to space. Cozy or shower with jet systems that output currents. Finally, you must take care of constant lighting. Even though today there is a trend of bathrooms or dark toilets, keep in mind that people want to have light. I also recommend looking for accessories like mirrors or hangers in a flea market The costs and will add character to the space. "

"This is what's going on today" - leading trends in renovations, according to the Association of Renovation Contractors:
