Interior idea with an arch Preliminary stage
In progress preparatory work. This stage helps prepare the premises for renovation, significantly reduces the work time and eliminates the occurrence of unforeseen situations.
Start your renovation by drawing up a design project. This does not mean that you need to make sketches and drawings similar to those created by professional designers. It is enough if you draw by hand how you see the bedroom after renovation. Then you will clearly see what the room will look like. After looking at the sketch, you will appreciate it and understand what is missing in the room, what you can get rid of, etc.
After drawing up a sketch, proceed to measuring the room. Based on the data received, you calculate how much material and tools you will need. Make an estimate, calculating how much the repairs will cost. Then, based on the estimate, purchase everything you need.
Bedroom interior in pastel colors After this, proceed to preparing the room itself. It is required mainly for rooms that were residential before renovation. Remove furniture, interior items, etc. from the room. Remove sockets, switches and baseboards. Completely remove the old covering from the room. If some pieces of furniture cannot be taken out, be sure to cover them with protective film so as not to spoil or damage them.
Bedroom renovation: interior example Electrical wiring
When carrying out work with electrical wiring, remember that the room will contain lighting devices that operate in autonomous mode. Place switches for lamps located next to the bed so that you can reach them with an outstretched arm. Otherwise you will have to constantly get up to turn them off. For the overhead light, it is recommended to select 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 you are not planning to buy an air conditioner now, it is better to arrange everything you need for it in advance.
Ceiling selection
For finishing the ceiling, stretch ceilings or plasterboard finishing are often chosen. The latter option is especially popular due to the fact that in this way you can easily and inexpensively disguise defects and unevenness in the ceiling. Drywall helps hide wiring and other communications elements. The material is functional and can be used to create a beautiful ceiling design. For example, a multi-level ceiling is being performed.
Bedroom renovation: using drywall 
Bedroom renovation: suspended ceiling Stretch ceilings have many advantages. Plus, design ideas are virtually unlimited. You will receive any design, any shades and colors, with any image, etc. But you won’t be able to install a suspended ceiling yourself; only specialists can do this.
Wall repair
The stage begins with leveling the surface of the walls. To do this, use plaster or drywall, from which special structures are constructed. Then start decorating the bedroom. Better to use paper wallpaper. They are environmentally friendly and inexpensive. As noted above, this is an important aspect for the bedroom. It's easy to hang paper wallpaper. Even a beginner who has no previous experience in gluing coatings can cope with this. It is worth noting once again that choose neutral, calm shades of wallpaper, with small patterns. The color of the wall covering should be in harmony with the shades of the ceiling.
Interesting fact! Some people use decorative plaster to decorate their bedrooms. For this room this coating is unconventional. But it helps to create an original room design and will look beautiful.

Flooring
The arrangement of the floor is carried out at the last stage of the bedroom renovation. When choosing a material, you need to take into account that people walk barefoot in this room much more than in other rooms. Choose natural materials that are pleasant to touch. Wood, parquet, laminate, linoleum are suitable. The need to purchase a carpet that will not accumulate dust. The coatings are also easy to care for.
Bedroom interior idea: floor carpet Decorating and arranging furniture
You should start decorating the bedroom and arranging furniture only after completing all the finishing work and installing lamps and sockets. What style the furniture will be in is 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.
Example of furniture arrangement Correct arrangement of furniture
Choose any style of furniture according to your own taste. But in matters of color schemes and arrangement of objects, there are several useful recommendations:
- It is better if the furniture takes up no more than half of the free space in the room. Then you will feel freedom and space. Large quantity furniture and clutter will take away free space, creating a feeling of crampedness;
- There is no place for a double bed in a corner. Provide free access to the sleeping area on both sides;
- To store things, purchase a wardrobe. Its doors do not open, but slide apart in different directions, which saves a lot of space. Such a wardrobe becomes an additional decoration for the bedroom if you carefully think through and arrange its design;
- The color of the furniture depends on the size of the bedroom. For a small room, light shades are preferable. For a large room, choose furniture in dark colors. If the walls in the bedroom are light, you will get a great contrast;
- You should not hang a mirror opposite the bed so that sleeping people are reflected in it. Feng Shui and folk art advise against this;
- Avoid carpeting. It has already been noted that a lot of dust accumulates in them. If the bedroom design involves a carpet, let it be small. It is easier to clean, which means you will care for it more often.

Accentuating with light - a design solution DIY decoration
One of the important rules of bedroom design is moderation. This is a vacation spot and you shouldn’t overload it with anything, including decorative elements. It is better to focus on one subject. It could be a bed.
Bed allocation
A canopy is often used as a bed decoration. 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, it takes up a lot of space, and in a small room there is not enough space. In this case, the space above the bed is used for decoration. Hang a picture or decorate the headboard of your bed.
Example of furniture arrangement Wall decoration
Wall painting is often used. Not the whole room is painted, but only one wall. Choose the one that is behind the bed or opposite. If you don’t like the painting, they replace it with vinyl stickers or photo wallpaper. Artistic painting is performed only by professionals. Anyone can apply stickers and photo wallpapers themselves. Choose an image that matches the overall interior of the room.
Decorating the walls in the bedroom 
Idea for decorating a bedroom interior Use of textiles
In addition to curtains, bedspreads and curtains in the bedroom, use curtains on the walls. An unusual solution that will add coziness to the room. It is better to use this technique in large and medium-sized bedrooms, since such decoration will steal several centimeters. For a small bedroom, this can ruin the look.
Additional decor
Additional elements for decorating the bedroom are lamps near the bed and vases. They can be combined in shades with the overall interior or look like a contrast against the general background. A lampshade made with one's own hands is often used.
By approaching bedroom renovations carefully and carefully studying each issue, you will achieve what you want. beautiful design V short term. It is important to plan everything down to the smallest detail and strictly follow the plan.
The ideal bedroom is one that harmoniously combines practicality with aesthetics. An intimate atmosphere reigns in the bedroom; this room reflects the personality of the owners more than others. When undertaking a renovation, it is better to abandon excessive pretentiousness and extravagance. The ceiling, walls and floor in the bedroom should not create a oppressive environment.
The peculiarity of the renovation and furnishing of the bedroom is in maintaining an ideal balance, in which each piece of furniture would be significant in itself, but would not be an aggressive center of pressure. In such a room, good rest and sound, healthy sleep are guaranteed.
Don't think that simplicity of decoration will reduce the cost general view premises. Modern building and finishing materials can work wonders and create real masterpieces of design. However, you don’t have to choose expensive ones. Leading manufacturing companies, along with expensive goods, today offer materials for repairing and decorating bedrooms at quite affordable prices.
You can renovate your bedroom with your own hands, turn your own ideas into reality, or look for some ideas in thematic magazines and online resources. Detailed instructions will allow even beginners to clean up their apartment.
The main thing in a bedroom renovation is proper zoning, lighting, maximum environmentally friendly materials for ceilings, walls, flooring. Draw up a room design project, create a room of maximum comfort.
Where to start: bedroom renovation step by step
Perhaps everything was fine in your old bedroom setup. In this case, the renovation (unless it is major) will update and refresh the room. You can re-stick the wallpaper and tidy up the ceiling with your own hands. Even the floor during cosmetic repairs is sometimes left unchanged if the previous coating has not lost its freshness and attractiveness (if necessary, laying linoleum, carpet or laminate yourself is also not difficult).
If a major overhaul with redevelopment, replacement of wiring, heating equipment, updating and leveling the floor, changing the shape of door openings, then you will probably need specialist advice (or you will generally decide to entrust the entire scope of work to builders).
In any case, you will have to control the progress of work. The first thing you need to do is draw up a design project, the basis of your renovation. Be sure to note your vision for the bedroom after the renovation. There are special computer programs for this, but even a plan drawn up on plain paper will be of great benefit.
- At the design stage, you should take into account the area of the room (this will help to properly zone the space), the possible arrangement of a workplace or dressing room (if the bedroom is initially isolated from other rooms in the house or there is no other way to make the room isolated).
- What follows budget formation, turn to compile a list of necessary construction and finishing materials. Here, too, you can rely on your own experience and strength or discuss this with experts in the matter - builders, designers. Place the main emphasis on the ratio of fairly high quality - reasonable, affordable price.
- Before starting renovation work, empty the bedroom of all furniture, remove switches, sockets, and remove the chandelier. If you are not going to change them, cover windows and doors with cloth or film to protect them from damage and scratches.
- Get rid of old coverings (clean up the whitewash, remove tiles, paint, wallpaper, remove the floor covering if you are repairing the floor, remove thresholds, baseboards). Dismantling can take a lot of time, skill and attention are needed (the better all surfaces are cleaned of previous materials, the smoother and better quality the new cladding will lie on it).
- The most difficult stage is redevelopment rooms, replacement of structures or individual elements. Renovation in the bedroom will begin at this point if you are thinking of changing anything in the redevelopment (demolish, erect partitions, for example, install new radiators, install a ventilation system, air conditioning, carry out a full range of electrical work, replace doors, windows).
- Alignment surfaces may not always be needed. If the walls and ceiling were smooth before or have already undergone a similar procedure, then there is no need to repeat it. Minor damage is eliminated using putty, leveled using putty compounds, a spatula, the surfaces are primed, and allowed to dry thoroughly (a day or two). Floors are leveled using cement screed or self-release mixtures.
- The most long-awaited and creative process - cladding surfaces and furnishings. This is the final piece of this bedroom renovation.
When you start renovating your bedroom, help yourself: draw up a design project and follow the steps outlined in it exactly. When the budget has been formed, proceed to the preparatory stage - empty the room of furniture, remove old coverings. Putty and primer will eliminate the defects, after which you can begin tiling and furnishing the bedroom.
What do you need to know about materials?
You should try to choose high-quality finishing materials for any room. However, if your financial resources are limited, make sure that the safest, most environmentally friendly materials are used for your bedroom renovation.
Choosing windows, please note that plastic structures do not allow air to pass through and can cause allergic reactions, for allergy sufferers the most suitable option- wooden “breathing” windows. But the best sound and heat insulation, the simplest operation and maintenance are provided by plastic windows.
Don't give up doors in the bedroom (today rooms without interior doors), because the door in this case not only serves as a barrier for strangers, but also prevents sounds and odors (kitchen, sewer) from entering. So, choose the door block for your bedroom as responsibly as possible and install it correctly.
The bedroom is a special place in the apartment, where a person spends an average of about 8 hours sleeping. Such a long stay in one room requires a special approach to the choice of finishing materials: maximum environmental friendliness and health safety.
Ceiling in the bedroom
There are several ways to repair ceilings:
- puttying;
- cover with plasterboard;
- install tension structures.
Puttying is a serious, difficult job. If you have no one to help, there is no way to entrust the work to a specialist, and the ceiling defects are too obvious and obvious, then use the training video (these lessons give good skills), or immediately install a plasterboard ceiling. Working with this material is not difficult; you can quickly gain the necessary skills and make a beautiful, even ceiling in the bedroom with your own hands.
This is advisable for several other reasons:
- plasterboard structures level out surface differences;
- on their basis you can create any multi-level ceilings;
- it is immediately possible to hide communications and wiring;
- Any type of lighting can be arranged.
Modern stretch ceilings, varied in texture and color, also hide imperfections well. They are also arranged in several levels, and the lighting is decorated differently. An additional advantage of such a ceiling is its resistance to moisture (you don’t have to worry about flooding from your neighbors).
The color of the ceiling in the bedroom depends on the taste of the owners, but the classic approach is this: you should focus on the size of the room and the chosen interior design style. Please note that a dark ceiling will visually make the room smaller, while a light ceiling will add space. Choose not too saturated, calm colors that maximize relaxation. Avoid a multi-colored ceiling; a small color accent in the center would look appropriate.
It is difficult to make a putty ceiling in a bedroom yourself. It is much easier to install a plasterboard or suspended ceiling. In any case, avoid bright color shades of the ceiling surface; opt for soft, calm colors.
Bedroom wall renovation
Rough repairs to the wall surface in the bedroom can be done using plastering or drywall. As with the ceiling, plastering the walls is not an easy procedure that requires skill. If the walls have too large depressions, then plaster will not help; the surface, even if a thick layer of material is applied, will still not become perfectly flat. With relatively flat walls, you can achieve excellent results without losing the usable area of the room.
Drywall will come to the rescue here too, because it is economical and simple, walls with any flaw will turn out perfectly smooth. However, such wall covering hides the space and makes the room area smaller. To decorate bedroom walls, wallpaper (non-woven, paper, textile) in soothing colors or decorative plaster is most often used.
Level the walls in the bedroom with plaster or plasterboard sheets. Decorative plaster or wallpaper are suitable for finishing walls.
What finish is suitable for the bedroom floor?
A cold floor in the bedroom is unacceptable; if it is not possible to install a “warm floor” system, then choose the most suitable materials - environmentally friendly, pleasant to the touch, easy to clean:
- laminate;
- cork;
- parquet;
- linoleum;
- carpet;
- bulk
In a small bedroom, lay laminate or parquet diagonally, this will visually expand the space. Any of the materials today is presented in construction stores in a wide range to suit every taste.
The completion of the bedroom renovation is the furnishing of the room. Try not to clutter the room, limit yourself to only the necessary set of furniture. Taking into account all the tips listed above, your bedroom will always be spacious and comfortable.

Tips and tricks for renovations in small and narrow spaces
Creating a beautiful and functional interior can be difficult if the bedroom area is small. Most often, small rooms arise as a result of redevelopment in an apartment or house, for example, after expanding the living room. Bedrooms in Khrushchev are also distinguished by their small area. In these cases, carrying out repairs, as well as choosing a design, requires a special approach. If you want to see a beautiful and competent renovation in a small bedroom, photos are waiting for you in our gallery.
The most successful options for decorating small rooms in Khrushchev
Small rooms in Khrushchev (3 by 3 or 3 by 4 m) should be decorated in light colors and contain a minimum of furniture. It is better to paint the ceiling in such a room or make it suspended. A plasterboard structure can make a room appear lower and visually smaller, which means it is best to avoid using it.

Development of a design project
Before starting the renovation 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, and whether they are necessary.
A design project is a set of necessary documentation, design developments and a list of building materials.
To plan everything correctly, you must adhere to the following order:
- Stage 1 – discussion and determination of the budget. At this stage, all available financial resources are calculated that can be invested in renovating the bedroom. This stage helps to avoid unreasonable spending.
- Stage 2 – work with the designer. This stage involves developing the interior, drawing up plans and drawings, thinking through the smallest details regarding the furnishings. If finances do not allow it, it is not at all necessary to resort to the help of a specialist; you can draw up a plan yourself.
- Stage 3 – discussion of building materials. After discussing the concept of interior design, it is necessary to decide what construction and finishing materials will be used for repairs.
- Stage 4 – calculating upcoming expenses. The next step is to calculate the required amount of materials, as well as the upcoming costs, based on real numbers. After calculation, the budget can either increase or decrease.
A design project should consist of these main stages.
Any minor additions, equipping the room with accessories and decorative elements that are not part of the decoration are not prescribed in the design project.
DIY repair stages
There is an opinion that repairs are easy to start, but impossible to finish - they can only be suspended for a while. However, this opinion is a misconception, since with proper development of the project (as well as covering absolutely all the details), the repair can be considered completely completed.
Many people do not risk starting this process because they underestimate their own strengths and use the help of third parties, whose wages may be somewhat inflated.
One has only to study in more detail all the stages and complexities of this process, and 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. Light cosmetic repairs will be relevant in a room where there is no serious damage or parts that require immediate replacement.
When redecorating, there is not even a need to replace furniture, so the room remains almost the same as before replacing the decoration, it just takes on a slightly updated and fresher look. For drastic changes, a major renovation is required - with a complete replacement of furniture.
To make a major European-quality renovation, 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 need to be taken into account.
Window replacement
In houses with old wooden frames that have fallen into disrepair, as well as plastic windows broken windows may need to be replaced. Very often during renovation this stage is skipped because it seems prohibitively expensive, but its absence can have quite serious consequences. Old windows can allow drafts, moisture, and excessive freezing in winter.
Replacing windows yourself is not as expensive as doing it by someone from a construction company.
You just need to follow a certain sequence:
- It is necessary to take measurements from the window openings and order the appropriate double-glazed windows from the company or purchase them in specialized stores.
- Next, the old ones are dismantled window frames. You should 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 repair any damage that occurred during dismantling.
- After this, you need 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 holes and cracks using polyurethane foam.
- The final stage will be filling areas covered with foam, small cracks, as well as painting the slopes.
Replacement of windows is carried out first, since it can lead to damage to the covering of the walls, which is undesirable after decorating them. They may lose their original appearance, and the work will have to be done anew.

Dismantling
The next stage will be the dismantling of all other components of the previous renovation, since new finishing materials cannot be applied to the old ones. You need to learn more about the process of dismantling old finishing materials and interior elements, as well as some life hacks that make this process easier.
During a major overhaul, you will also have to get rid of the doors - you will need to replace them. Dismantling doorways is a very important component of the entire process. First you need to remove the door leaf itself from the hinges, carefully dismantle the casing and the door frame itself.
When replacing old doors, it is necessary to take into account the size of the doorway, since in some cases it may need to be expanded or built up.
The process of removing old wallpaper can seem complicated and tedious if you peel off dry wallpaper from an unprepared wall. There are many life hacks that will help simplify the task.
Here are the most effective ones:
- Wallpaper can be wetted with warm water or soapy water. For convenience, you can use a spray bottle or mop. The canvases should be wet enough so that after a while they can be easily removed from the wall.
- If the wallpaper is wet and this does not make the process easier, you can use a water steamer. Hot steam in combination with already applied moisture will be a wonderful way, and the canvas will easily come off the wall.
If there are tiles in the room, they will need to be removed. This process is perhaps the most labor-intensive of all, since the tiles are attached to a special cement mortar, which is incredibly strong and reliable.
First you will have to get rid of the grout - using wetting, a sharp hard object or a small grinder. Cement-based grout can be quite strong, so it will take some effort.
Since the withdrawal process old tiles may be somewhat labor intensive, you will have to be patient. You can dismantle it using a strong iron spatula and a hammer, but this method can take quite a lot of time. Working with a hammer drill will be much faster and more efficient.
It is necessary to clean both the floor and the ceiling of old finishing materials. Depending on the coating used, the cleaning method will vary. For example, laminate, linoleum and parquet are quite easy to remove, as is a suspended ceiling sheet. But you will have to tinker with whitewash and paint, armed with a spatula and sandpaper.
Layout of necessary communications
If you want to make the bedroom more comfortable, you may need to separate communications. You can highlight existing options on how best to do this, as well as options for communications that can be routed to the bedroom.
First of all, it is electricity. Sometimes central lighting located in the central part of the ceiling may not be enough, so it’s worth thinking about additional points.
To save space, bedside floor lamps can be eliminated by using additional ceiling elements or wall sconces.
You can distribute electricity from the central lighting point, if it is quite powerful, from the electrical panel, if repairs are being carried out throughout the entire apartment, as well as from the nearest outlet. In the bedroom should be done hidden wiring, which will require wall gating.
In the same way, you can draw lines to create additional electrical access points - sockets.
If the bedroom is located next to the bathroom, toilet or kitchen, you can easily install pipes into the room, equipping it with an additional water supply point.
To do this you will need the following:
- first of all - a plumbing permit obtained from the BTI;
- well-designed plumbing pipe layout;
- pipes for hot and cold water, other plumbing elements.
You should not make pipes in the floor, because if leaks occur, they will be extremely difficult to fix without damaging the floor covering. It is best to use walls for this, securing pipes and covering this area with special cabinets.
The distribution of central heating is carried out in a similar way.
Rough finish
When you are about to begin the process of finishing the room, it is better to take care of the rough finishing. Not everyone knows what rough finishing is and what it is needed for. After all, not even every experienced specialist does it.
Rough finishing is necessary, because without it it is impossible to carry out a high-quality finishing. Thanks to preparation, you can significantly extend the service life of finishing materials, since they will be more securely fixed to the walls of the apartment.
In addition, it is believed that rough finishing can even slightly enhance the sound insulation and thermoregulatory properties of the room. This is understandable, because during rough finishing, all small cracks and holes missed during construction will be sealed.
It is worth noting that rough finishing includes the installation of communications and the construction of plasterboard structures.
It is necessary to take a closer look at the main stages of rough finishing, the features of each of them, and also familiarize yourself with the list of necessary materials.
Ceiling
The most difficult thing to do is rough-finish the ceiling, since during construction the slabs may not be laid quite evenly, and it may be necessary to level the surface. This need disappears if a tension or suspended structure is used as a ceiling finish.
If repairs have to be done in new apartment, the premises of which were not subject to the rough finishing process, may arise the need to eliminate clefts between the ceiling slabs. These gaps can be quite large, so they simply need to be eliminated.
It is best to eliminate cracks using polyurethane foam. A level ruler, as well as a painting mesh and cement mortar, will help make the ceiling surface more even. All irregularities and differences must be smoothed out, creating a completely smooth ceiling surface.
The top layer covering the ceiling should be plaster, which will become the basis for further actions.
Walls
Rough finishing of walls is done using primer, plaster and putty.
Primer serves for better adhesion of materials to the wall surface.
By using plaster The surface of the walls is corrected, as well as closing any seams and smoothing out unevenness.
Putty is the final detail of the rough finishing of the walls. It is necessary for further finishing of the walls.
However, this is not all. As already mentioned, part of the rough finishing of the walls can be construction of additional partitions and interior structures. When it comes to decorative partitions, it is enough to use thin materials, but for serious interior floors, more durable options are needed.
As for decorative partitions, in most cases, plasterboard sheets are used for their construction, mounted on special metal profiles and forming a hollow space. Such a partition does not provide sound insulation and does not retain heat in a separate part of the room.
To construct full-fledged interior floors you will need concrete blocks or ordinary bricks. In addition, foam blocks and cinder blocks are quite popular, durable and practical. The blocks are fastened together using a cement mixture, and the finished structure is covered with a thick layer of plaster and putty.
Floor screed
Another stage of rough finishing is working with the floor, namely, screeding. A floor screed is an intermediate layer of flooring that separates the foundation laid during construction and the elements of decorative finishing.
Floor screeding is necessary for several reasons:
- the base, as a rule, is not very level, it has many flaws, so the screed is made to level it;
- if pipes and heating are installed under the floor, a screed will also be necessary, since this wiring will need to be hidden;
- screed is also necessary for competent, safe distribution of thermal insulation properties;
- Screeding is also carried out if there is a need to create any slopes.
Laying the final floor covering without screeding will make the coating ineffective and reduce its thermal insulation and sound insulation properties several times.
The screed also has a slight soundproofing effect. This is especially true for renovations in a bedroom located in a new building, since the sound insulation properties of such houses, as a rule, are reduced to almost a minimum.
Rough finishing of walls and screeding of floors helps reduce noise levels.
There are several types of screeds, and each of them has some characteristic features.
Wet screeds are made by combining a dry mixture with aqueous solution. Screeds of this type exist in two versions: tied and floating (which serves to provide the greatest degree of sound insulation, which is ensured by laying the mixture on special mats).
Dry screeds placed on the surface using expanded clay and special slabs. Surfaces are treated with plaster or cement mortar to hide the resulting seams.
Ceiling and wall primer
After leveling the surface and applying putty, it is necessary to prepare the walls and ceiling for final finishing. To do this, you need to apply a layer of high-quality primer. The primer is a special solution that serves as a kind of adhesive between the surface of the wall or ceiling and the finishing material.
The primer also has protective properties, preventing moisture loss finishing materials. The thing is that concrete has the peculiarity of excessively strong absorption and sucking of moisture, which can lead to fairly rapid drying 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 choice is influenced by the humidity of the room and the purpose of the material.
One type of primer is created to serve as a layer between building and finishing materials, while others are needed only for treating the base of a wall or ceiling. And still others are completely distinguished by the properties of deep penetration, which is very important for walls made of fragile, bulk material.
The primer may have to be applied in several layers, depending on the type of mortar itself and the wall surface to which it is applied.
You can begin the final finishing only after all layers of primer have completely dried.
To determine whether the wall needs additional priming, after the first layer has dried, you need to run your hand over the surface. If dust remains on your palm from the material from which the wall is made, you should repeat the procedure.
Finishing
After rough finishing and preparation of the walls and ceiling, you should begin finishing. 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 must be carried out in accordance with the type of finish.
Don't be too smart when choosing materials. By overestimating your strengths, you may simply not cope with the task and not complete the bedroom renovation as you would like (or not complete it at all). However, the choice of material will be discussed a little later; now the main stages of final finishing and their features will be considered.
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 may vary, depending on the chosen finishing material.
Ceiling
The ceiling is finished first if plaster, paint, ceiling tiles, attached using special glue. This stage should be the first, since these materials are quite easily soiled and can damage the decor of the ceiling and floor.
Whitewash and paint must be applied to a primed surface, but to secure the tile decor, you will have to first plaster and putty the ceiling, since the glue does not always adhere well to the concrete surface.

First of all, it is produced construction of suspended ceiling structures and niches. Since such elements are made from sheets of plasterboard, the surface will also need to be plastered and puttied, after which it will be necessary to apply a primer and paint. In any case, the painting process may result in contamination of the surrounding area.
A installation of stretch ceiling carried out at the final stage of finishing. It will be very difficult to paste wallpaper under an already stretched canvas, and decorating walls with plaster will be completely impossible. Stretch ceiling does not in any way affect the cleanliness of walls and floors, since no liquid adhesive or painting materials are used for its installation.
To install the tension fabric on the wall (a few centimeters from the ceiling), special fastenings are constructed metal profiles. After this, the canvas is heated with special air guns and stretched around the perimeter of the entire bedroom. The edges of such a canvas are tucked into the profiles - and thereby fixed.
Walls
Everything is clear with the stages of finishing the ceiling; the next stage is wall decor.
The most suitable option is selected depending on the surface of the wall itself, room temperature, humidity level and individual preferences.
If the choice fell on ordinary wallpaper with pattern, everything is quite simple here - high-quality glue with the appropriate characteristics is selected, the wallpaper is cut into sheets of the required length, coated with glue and attached to the wall. If necessary, you can apply glue to the wall itself too.
If the choice fell on wallpaper with a pattern that needs to be matched and adjusted, you should pre-cut the canvases to cover the entire perimeter of the room - taking into account the creation of a complete picture.

After pasting wallpaper for painting It is necessary to dry thoroughly - and only then paint.

It is worth noting that you can paint both simply primed walls and surfaces decorated with finishing plaster, with which you can create an interesting textured surface.
Rules painting walls do not differ from the process of painting any other elements of the room in anything special. First, you need to apply paint with a brush to the edges in the area of the floor and ceiling, as well as to the corner openings, after which (armed with a roller with the appropriate surface) you will need to paint over the central part of the wall.
If the ceiling has been pre-painted, you should be careful when applying paint to the top of the wall. There is no need to touch the surface of the ceiling.

Floor
Floor finishing is the most the last stage, completing the renovation, since painting the floor surface is carried out very rarely, and in general, the process of decorating it in a special way does not affect the safety of the walls and ceiling.
What is really worth considering before the process of finishing the entire room is equipping the floor with heating mats (a heated floor system that will be very relevant for a sleeping area - especially if the room has a balcony).
Some types of heated floors require careful fixing. When laying mats on an already dried screed, they must be fixed with special glue or cement mortar. Some particularly powerful elements are even fixed before the surface is screeded.

Special attention should be paid to parquet and parquet boards, since the final stage is the application of a special coating - parquet varnish.
Of course, an important aspect of any repair process is the choice of high-quality building materials. You need to understand what needs to be taken into account when choosing, what should be given special attention, and also learn the features of the most popular materials.
It is necessary to analyze the supply market in order to identify the most favorable price variations of the same product. The process of renovating (even one bedroom) requires considerable investment, so a little saving definitely won’t hurt.
It is worth considering what qualities and characteristics need to be taken into account when choosing a particular material:
- Any material should not have any strong unpleasant odors. The slight odor left behind from factory products quickly disappears, but the pungent odor characteristic of low-quality cheap materials can persist for quite a long time, having a detrimental effect on human well-being.
- The material must have antistatic properties, preventing the accumulation of static electricity, which can disrupt comfortable living conditions.
- It is very good if the material contains antibacterial components, preventing the occurrence of fungi and the proliferation of harmful bacteria, which may also not have the best effect on health.
- Of course, the material must be beautiful and provide a wonderful rest, since the sleeping area is designed specifically for this.
- Any construction and finishing materials must be durable and wear-resistant, since annual renovation of the premises through renovation is expensive and unreasonable.
You can select the most suitable finishing materials for different parts of the room.
For the ceiling
For convenience, it is worth considering the advantages and disadvantages of various ceiling coverings using the example of a comparative table.
| Peculiarities | Advantages | Flaws | |
| Whitewashing the ceiling | This is done using a sprayer, roller or brush. | Simplicity of execution, neat appearance. | Preliminary leveling of the surface, high degree of soiling, fragility. |

For walls
Best option for decorating bedroom walls – non-woven and high-quality vinyl wallpaper. It is best to choose meter ones, since they are more convenient to glue, and the whole process will take much less time.
Wallpaper in neutral light shades is suitable, since bright colors are not very appropriate in the bedroom.
For those who want to add color to the bedroom interior or create an atmosphere of something unusual, finishing decorative plasters or unusual photo wallpaper, pasted on one of the central walls.
For floor
There are quite a lot of flooring options, you can choose any one - in accordance with individual tastes and needs. For example, it is considered the easiest to install linoleum, which looks quite attractive. In addition, a newfangled development is environmentally friendly linoleum, with hypoallergenic components in its composition.
Considered similar in ease of installation carpet- carpeting distributed over the entire floor surface of the room. This material can be laid in the bedroom if you are interested in softness and warm floors. The disadvantages include the inconvenience associated with caring for such material. Carpet has many advantages.
Laminate is the most common floor covering. It is affordable, practical and will last quite a long time. 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 of better quality than laminate, but it has one feature - it is necessary to cover the floor with a special parquet varnish.
As a special design move, you can use the construction of a structure two-level floor, decorated with different finishing materials. A two-level floor will be the highlight of the bedroom interior.
The bedroom is the main room for relaxation, in which it should be comfortable and pleasant. Therefore, when renovating a bedroom, you should take into account some nuances, because you can really save a lot on some things, and invest well in others. How to make an inexpensive renovation in the bedroom with high quality and how to decorate the room in a strong and original way - read the article!
Inexpensive, but high-quality, cosmetic or semi-overhaul bedroom renovations can only be done with your own hands.
In order to receive nice room without spending large amounts of money on it, you need to follow these recommendations:
- We do everything we can do with our own hands! Saving and laziness are two incompatible things. Therefore, you will have to putty the ceiling and walls, glue wallpaper, install the floor and baseboards yourself. The same cannot be said about, for example, wiring: here you will definitely need to hire a professional.
- We leave everything that can be left unchanged. If the ceiling is generally flat, but has deep cracks at the joints, you should not use tension or plasterboard sheets: rustications can be easily foamed and putty applied on top.
- We assess the condition of the heating system. If earlier cosmetic repairs required the mandatory replacement of cast iron radiators with aluminum heat exchangers, then modern loft interiors only welcome conventional radiators. If the system is sealed and copes with its task, feel free to leave it.
- Down with imitation. We leave imitation of expensive stone, marble and wooden floors in the past and give preference to high-quality and affordable materials, for example, carpeting (modern low-pile carpets around the entire perimeter of the room will be an excellent solution if the floor is flat), parquet (the most affordable is bamboo parquet). The most inexpensive option that will level the floor and look stylish is a concrete, self-leveling coating.
We smooth out minor wall defects with plaster. If the unevenness is significant, then you can correct them with the help of plasterboard: the sheets are not expensive (from 200 rubles), and their installation can be done with your own hands, even without experience in construction work.
Choose early to mid-autumn for repair work: working at this time with the windows open is still comfortable, and prices for building materials are already beginning to decline ahead of winter.
You should not save on windows to the bedroom, because the microclimate in the room and the health of the residents depend on this element: choose a three-chamber package that can guarantee the maximum level of heat and sound insulation.
Modern trends in interior design allow you to decorate your bedroom economically but stylishly. So, if you choose styles such as loft and minimalism for your bedroom design, you can achieve the maximum decorative effect while saving significant money.
By following these rules, you can get a stylish bedroom without spending all your savings on it:
- The main rule of modern bedrooms is that the bed should not be cheap: you can leave only a few basic pieces of furniture in the room, but the bed should be spacious, strong, with an orthopedic mattress. Healthy sleep is something you should never skimp on!
- Furniture for modern bedrooms should be as simple as possible: no massive wardrobes, chests of drawers or bedside tables around the perimeter of the room. The most budget-friendly option that suits a loft style is wooden shelving. You can buy a rack (for example, in Ikea a simple Albert rack costs 749 rubles), or you can make it yourself. You can store clothes in such racks using organizing boxes, and small items and accessories can be organized in fabric, hanging racks: affordable, stylish and convenient!
- If your budget is really tight, then you can use pleated blinds or roller blinds as curtains.
- You can buy soft chairs at sales, and you can look for a workplace on bulletin boards or make it yourself (this way you can make a stylish set of shelving and a table).
Collages and pictures on the walls, lamps with colored sconces, and textiles can dilute the rather restrained design.
Saving sleeping space
For one-room apartments And small rooms The issue of saving sleeping space is especially acute.
- The bed is on the second tier. This option will be excellent for rooms with a ceiling height of 3 meters. The bed, however, can be of any size; it is placed on a special structure with steps, which you can easily assemble with your own hands. There is free space under the bed itself, which is often used for an office or recreation area.
- A Murphy bed or a lifting bed is a practical solution for standard Khrushchev apartments: the bed, in this case, can be easily transformed from furniture (most often a tall cabinet). At the same time, the design imitates a facade behind which a retractable mechanism with a mattress is hidden.
- Bed on the podium. In this option, the bed is placed on a sufficiently high platform (about 80 cm), which, in addition to the frame for the mattress, also serves as a place for storing household items, clothes and shoes (you can organize the space under the bed using perforated or fabric boxes, plastic containers ).
The proposed designs for a sleeping place can be made with your own hands: for this you will need to find the corresponding drawings on the Internet and purchase good mattress for the bed. In many ways, such options will be cheaper than high-quality folding sofas on orthopedic mattresses. In addition, such systems will look stylish and unusual!
Economy bedroom
Economy class bedroom furniture consists of frames made of laminated chipboard and, in part, MDF. Such furniture can be made to order or sold as a ready-made set.
Most often, bedroom sets in this price category include: a wardrobe (hinged or compartment), a bed (frame without mattress), a chest of drawers, one or two bedside tables or a dressing table. Such sets can be made in any color, and the surfaces can be either glossy or matte. If necessary, some elements of the set can be equipped with mirrors (for example, a wardrobe or dressing table).
When choosing furniture in the economy segment, you should give preference to trusted companies that provide a guarantee for their products.
