23.10.2024 15:18

Nobody wants to spend a large amount of money on renovations to make their apartment look cheap.

However, sometimes we ourselves are to blame for this impression.

It is simply necessary to get rid of the most common mistakes, says designer Yulia Tychino, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti.

What shortcomings should be kept in mind?

Poor quality wallpaper

Some people think that there is no particular difference between expensive and cheap wallpaper. This is a misconception. As a rule, the differences are noticeable to everyone.

If you do not have the opportunity to use high-quality wallpaper, then you should consider the option of painting the walls.

Copies of paintings and posters of low quality

Using copies in the interior is not considered the best solution. Instead, it is better to buy an original work from an unknown artist.

You should be careful with posters. You need to take original versions, printed on good quality paper. They should also be "hidden" under a laconic frame.

Upholstery

It is worth making sure that the upholstery of the furniture looks new and relevant. A shabby sofa, even with an expensive renovation, will not create the best impression.

In addition, upholstered furniture is easy and convenient to restore today.
