When choosing a color scheme please note that you must choose something that is easy to clean ie, browns and grays. White is not a good choice unless you have in mind not spend much time in the place. Try looking at the big picture, do not place a sofa large in small rooms. Instead, use a chair of a body or a futon. The futon not only helps with space, but in turn can be converted into a bed, for those studio apartments. If you have a limited budget and do not want to get rid of your current bed, try a litter but not the bottom. That way you can keep your clothing and other articles under the bunk and cover with a curtain . This is very useful for singles.

Try to create rooms using decorative screens . This can make a room appear two or more single rooms. Also remember the curtains, which must allow light to enter , the more light enters, the greater will look the environment. Use a small table, bar and dining table. It becomes more intimate and the perfect spot to share a cup of coffee with someone. If you are lucky to have a partner / a fourth, hide the laundry. This makes the department look small and cluttered. Plants are a great way to make the rooms appear larger. Try to hang from the ceiling or using hooks on the wall. Do not forget the importance of mirrors . The use of mirrors can make a small apartment look like giant, giving the illusion of depth. What’s more important is making sure to always have a clean space, and thus always will look wider.

After making all of the above, you are still noticing that the Department continues to appear very small Need ideas for storing things? Well, I have several to offer. Look around and check for loose magazines by the department, and get a magazine rack .It is a small box with decorative taste that helps maintain order. Get a footrest that can store things inside. It comes in handy when a surprise guest and you need to save rather quickly. A table with storage underneath it is also a wise choice. The more storage capacity be better. Wall shelves shelves contribute to the elimination of the disorder that usually appears above the dining table. Place your toy collection of gnomes on a small wall shelf and see how much free space you just generated. All suggestions presented here are easy for you to do on their own. You can get most of these items any local store household goods or hardware store.

If the structure is made of wood (usually beams) over the years may be affected by moisture, mold or termites.The concrete structure can have aluminosis or oxidation. When the reform is complete, after demolition must discover the structure for evaluation. Apartments for reforms that are not so deep you can do with guns ultrasound studies to determine the status of the structural strength.

Accommodation Reform: Building

A question arises who will make improvements to an old floor is whether to hire a company that is dedicated to all or go hiring each item separately.

The most practical is that the same company in charge of all construction . Downtime are avoided and that they will coordinate all tasks. The disadvantage of this way of working is that it is at least 15% more expensive to carry out the works in this way. This is recommended for those promoters that lack of time or ignorance will not participate actively in the development of the construction of the reforms.

Do I need permission from neighbors and local permits for renovation of flats?

The question of necessary permits from the owners’ depends on how they are the statutes of each. In general it is necessary to ask if the apartment reforms will play structure, façade and common elements in general.

For example, in courtyards there are communities that preserve the size of the windows on them so can not be a different type of carpentry.

As for municipal permits for small reforms is what is called minor work permit. Only makes a list of works carried out, without requiring the submission of a bill signed by an architect.

If you were to put a container for construction debris should ask the council a track occupancy permit on the pay rates according to road type and time of occupation.

In large works is essential to present a project architect and signed by a suitably endorsed in the relevant professional body. In this case, pay rates that are a percentage of the budget of the work is in the draft reformsubmitted by the architect .

Doors and windows: Is it worth to preserve the reforms?

If the doors and windows are not in very poor condition, its conservation will be based on a personal assessment by the homeowner choosing from the aesthetic benefits of a former woodworking or functionality of modern windows and doors.

In exterior woodwork are always more acoustic and thermal insulation of existing woodwork. Anyway, if old windows sealed shows that could be preserved. In this case it may be enough to modify the single crystals by double chamber which is used today.

There are many other tips for refurbishing old homes and apartments that are worth taking into account to get all the benefits of current housing in a building from another time.
