Minor Renovation
It is not necessary to turn the apartment upside down if you want to redecorate it – for a complete transformation of the interior, a small change of scenery, which is called a minor renovation, is enough. Minor renovation of the apartment does not provide for redevelopment, major installation, and rearrangement of utility lines; only decorative layers are to be replaced. At the same time, you can replace boring furniture, lamps, and accessories, update home textiles and decorative accessories – and you won’t recognize the apartment!
Indications of a Need for Minor Renovation
Interior design periodically needs to be updated – finishing materials deteriorate, fade, and lose their attractiveness. One fine day, there are too many stains, scuffs, and scratches, once fashionable furniture becomes outdated, fails, and ceases to please the eye, there is no other choice but a minor renovation.
Planned refreshment of the apartment is carried out every three to four years; unscheduled renovation may be needed after an accident – for example, after flooding, you often have to change floors, and if you are flooded by neighbors from above, you have to change the coating of the ceiling and walls. It also does not hurt to do minor renovations before selling a house or renting an apartment – a presentable appearance increases the chances of a good deal.
