Investment in large repairs at the cottage quite stupid: we live there from the strength for several months, and even that - by the departures; The room is unheard, in winter the temperature differences are inevitable - neither normal finish nor the furniture of such bully will be taken out. On the other hand, the soul asks beauty: what is this cottage, if it does not please the eye. Let's see what methods can be quick and cheap to make country repairs.

Leave as is?

If you have a house from a bar - consider lucky: such walls can not be separated at all. A tree in any healthy state has a chic "finishing" view. The keyword is healthy: no one has canceled flame care. Twice treat the Bar with an antiseptic (with interruptions according to the instructions), and in the top cover with colorless matte varnish - so that the dirt is not eaten and the sun does not join.

For Punching Utya wooden finish . New curtains, covers, bedspreads - the easiest way to quickly transform the interior in cottage house. Please note that the wooden background is quite active, so the colors of the fabrics are better to select contrasting: a bright tree - bright textiles, dark or average intensity - light. Over time, the timber will begin in a natural way to darken - it will be possible to return the initial color only with grinding.

Mobile bar, lining ...

Bar - for it there are paints, varnishes, waxes and verse.

They differ in composition (the most eco-friendly - based on water and natural oils) and covers - that is, the degrees of transparency. Want to give a color wood, but leave the texture - choose translucent paint. For the street side of the wall, it is necessary to prefer elastic paints, which are not afraid of temperature drops - alkyd, oil, and for internal - breathable water-dispersion (more persistent) or water-emulsion (cheaper). Better, of course, moisture-proof, with anti-grab component. Spend money on silicate or silicone makes sense only in conditions of high humidity.

Before the color, the tree is well reduced - so the paints will leave less (the primer will not give her to absorb deeply) and the tanning spots will not get out.

Tip: If in the home desperately smells with dampness, and in general the climate is wet - deposit painting works. First, the house should be dried, otherwise the result of the color is unpredictable. With drying well coped heat guns and building hair dryers. Absolutely meaninglessly painted the fools of mold or rot - the fungus will continue to destroy the walls and the floor! Mold need to be removed mechanical method, Dried wood, stabbing sandpaper, handle with antiseptic - and only then paint.

... and brick

Brick wall painted with water-emulsion - it is not only fashion elementwho came to us from the interiors in the style of Loft, but also thousands of rubles of savings on plaster and plasters.

The texture is evident

OSP panels - also fashionable student student today. More precisely, it has been fashionable for many years, but now the plates made from wood chips are decided not to hide. So if you did not have time to wake them with wallpaper - and do not.


Photos from the site houzz.ru, author All OSP panels are perfectly retaining heat in the house, but some are afraid of moisture. For "raw" rooms it is worth choosing the plates of classes OSB-3 or OSB-4. For interior work in dry rooms, cheaper "units" and "twice" will rise.

Prayer on the plaster

Watching walls (lined with plasterboard or trowel) can also be painted; Cheaper than all - acrylic waterfront paint.

In order for the paint well concluded with the surface, do not save on the primer. No primer - walls can be washed with water with detergentTo remove dust and fat.

If there are small cracks on the wall, and there is no time, nor the desire, you can choose paint with latex filler - It hides cracks up to 2 mm. By the way, on small areas (for example, a part of the wall) brush more profitable roller, and on large - on the contrary, the roller uses less paint per square meter.

Tip: do not be afraid of "impractical" - first, it is the cheapest paint, and secondly, on a white background, any bright item (for example, painted cans Or an old tray, as in the photo) will look like a designer decor. And the next spring can be repainted.

Wallpaper: Remove or leave?

Old wallpapers started to dug? Do not hurry to skip them from the walls, appreciate the scale of the disaster. Ate fell off the canvas - there is nothing to save, but if we are talking About several joints or corners - it is more profitable to put down. Little cunning: Add a lot of PVA glue to the wallpaper adhesive (approximately 1: 6) - the canvas will be kept stronger.

Another situation: Wallpapers fell off, but the sites were left, glued tightly - thoroughly swallow them with an iron through a wet cloth. After that, they can be scraped.

Tip: In order to hide stains on the wallpaper, produce special stickers in the form of birds, butterflies, airplanes, and the like.

Choose wallpaper

Wallpapers - the fastest finishing version for the country house.

Surely you in the storage room are stored trimming, remaining after repairs in the apartment. Remains will have friends. So it is possible cut the wall in the style of "Patchwork"- either with diverse "panels", like on this photo, or rectangular slices - as next. Thus, it is better to draw out only one wall in the room - too saturated decor leaves. The remaining walls are painted in neutral. If you do not want to contact the paint, select a couple of combined wallpaper coloring and alternate them.

Tip: In specialized stores there are baskets with sales wallpaper - as a rule, these are remnants of collections, one or two rolls. Stand a penny. Choose and combine the color and texture.

Since we are going to save the purpose, great temptation to choose cheap paper wallpaper . So you can do if you have a repair for one or two seasons. Paper quickly burns out of sunlight, dirty, absorbs moisture. Yes, and glue such a coating is the worst of all: a slightly overtook the glue - rushes. If you take paper wallpaper, then two-layer - they are not very expensive than one-layer, but twice as fast.

However, the focus is that for the cottage it makes sense to acquire good vinyl wallpapers . You will need them, most likely, a little, so you will not spend much - especially if you take the remnants. But the vinyl can be calmly washed, it is much longer than paper and, as a rule, it looks more beautiful. In addition, tight vinyl wallpaper with relief textures will get rid of you from the need to align the walls. Each flaw will be visible on thin.

You wish to save - do not choose a wallpaper with a large drawing: there will be more waste. Budget print - small and abstract. Without waste you can do with wallpaper in the vertical strip.

Mobile wallpaper

Wallpaper under painting It will cost cheaper than ordinary (at a price per square meter), but most importantly - they will simulate flaws of unsuccessful docking: everything will be painted. If the budget allows, choose vinyl wallpapers on a fliesline basis: although they are more expensive on a paper basis, but it is better to be pulsed, it is lighted easier and not thrown. In addition, tight fliesline will hide fine irregularities on the wall. The most expensive and durable wallpapers for painting are fiberglass and glassball. These are materials for perfectionists.

Tip: It is desirable that the vinyl wallpaper be known (better - European) brands is a guarantee that the polymer coating is made with the pores. Cheap vinyl wallpapers are not "breathing", so condensate can accumulate beneath them, preparing the soil for the invasion of the fungus.

With the world on the tile

Residues tile tile Also fit in order to put the spectacular wall in the style of Patchwork.

And if you have a drawer of tiled trimming, beat them into small pieces and lay out the mosaic.

Wall newsgazettes, standcases and walls

Instead of wallpaper, you can use newspaper strips - glue them as an ordinary paper coating, but on top covered with colorless varnish.

Plus such a finish - over time, it will look only more interesting, and after a hundred years it will be possible to drive excursions.

You can use old geographical maps as wallpaper ...

... and even bookcases. Last - not very fast way Wall decorations, but looks impressive.

Film analog

Self-adhesive film - not fitted in our edges, finishing material, quite suitable for a brisk dacha interior.

Wall of joy

If you know about fashionable stillar paint today - most likely you have already painted something in the apartment, and half a breth of paints are idle. Make a wall-board in cottage house - paint on it and children and adults.

Happy Metal

A pair of perforated metal sheets - This is not only a convenient system for storing frying pan in the country, but also a wonderful finishing material.

And roofing professional flooring is the easiest way to bore the country's bathroom. Neither the water is not terrible to him (the material has an anti-corrosion coating), no frost. It will last at least half a century. Available in different colors, but you can paint and yourself.


Photos from the site houzz.ru, author In order to make a fungus between the sheet of professional flooring and the wall, it is worth choosing a coating material on which the condensate is not going. In addition, at the beginning of the season, it makes sense to unscrew the screws, remove the professional flooring and pretty dry the angles with a construction hairdryer.

Another budget material - plastic panels . They are also not afraid of moisture and temperature drops, easy to install. Standard size - 270 x 25 cm.

Do-it-yourself repair private house

Where to begin repair with your own hands a private house ? First of all, you need to decide which repairs you need your dwelling. And this can be defined only after the quality inspection of the room will be carried out.

As for private houses, it is necessary at the very beginning to browse the foundation of the room. After all, the fate of your future home depends on his condition. With the slightest damage you need to produce repair the foundation of the house do it yourself. It can be a surface reinforcement of the foundation, and it may be necessary to fully replace it. It all depends on its condition. The type of work will depend on the work. Only after the foundation inspected and is given in due state, one can move to other types of work.

If you are interested in the question: "?", Then carefully read our article in which we will reveal the alternateness of work in a private house. After the repair work of the foundation, it is necessary to carefully examine the walls and the roof of your private house. If the walls and roofs will leak, the whole internal repair will be a pump, wallpapers can be lagging behind, will remain on the walls or ceiling stains. And these are only the best variations of the consequences after the blown of the building. If necessary, you need to strengthen the walls and replace the tile.


Private houses are usually colder than apartments in multi-storey buildings. Therefore, do not do without additional insulation of the building. First of all it is necessary. In this case, insulation, not only will not pass the cold to the house, but will also serve as an additional fortification. As we know, the greatest load is assigned to the roof of any house and, accordingly, the largest impact on the part ambientSo it is through the roof in the house the most cold air falls into the house. This suggests that the ceiling and the roof need insulation most.


In addition to the insulation of the roof, you will need. In private houses and first floor apartments, moisture and cold leaves the foundation. By this floor will walk very cold, and in the cold season, the feeling of dampness may appear. But the most diverse diseases may appear from frozen feet. Therefore, it is not necessary to delay with the insulation of the floor, especially if small children will live in the house, who are very loved to rip and sow on the floor.


Do not refuse from. Warming can be carried out with the inner and from the outside. To judge which option is better, it is very difficult. The only plus in the direction of the outer insulation is that it is performed from the outside of the building and, accordingly, does not eat useful Square at home. Therefore, it is better to stop on insulation from the outside of the building, especially if your house does not differ in large sizes. In this case square meters Better to care.

With the general repair of the house, the question is resolved, all internal types of work are completed, now you can safely perform repair of a private house with your own hands From the inside The issue of repair is not the lungs, especially when a lot of strength, time and material resources have already been spent on previous stages. But, most often without internal repairs not enough. Why start repairing the building?

First you need to decide what kind of repair do you need: capital or cosmetic? From the choice of type of repair will not only be the full cost of work, but also time on their conduct. Cosmetic Repair is much easier by type and quantity necessary work, respectively, it is cheaper. This type of repair is a complete replacement of interior decoration. That is, the old wallpaper is removed, paint and other, the walls are placed, prepared for a new finish. At the next stage, new wallpapers are pasted, the walls are stuck, the tiles are pasted and so on. If necessary, it may be replaced and outdoor coating.


In case of overhaul, everything is much more complicated. Here it may already be necessary to replace the electrical wiring, air conditioning and ventilation systems, as well as sewage. Agree, the task is not out of simple, and even quite expensive. In addition, there will be a lot of time and nerves on the replacement of all equipment for normal life. Therefore, thinking about overhaul, immediately configure yourself to many and problems. They are unfortunately not to avoid. Therefore, if you are just going to acquire a new home for your family, look through carefully, in what condition the house is. Believe me if the wallpaper got out from the walls - it's not so scary than if the sewage system was worn out in the house.

Getting started to repair, almost each of us is trying to save. But, as they say: the miser pays twice. This applies to several stages of repair, which is not accurate. In some cases, the savings will not affect the condition of the house and interior decoration, and in others it will turn into irreversible consequences. So what should not save by performing repair work?


Let's start with the fact that you do not need to save on the main building materialwhich is entrusted with the main responsibility. Among such materials, it is worth noting the paint, putty, stucco and primer. Agree, it's much easier to replace the wallpaper, how to perform a complete internal finish, if the plaster or putty will be derained? Therefore, we suggest you better save on the wallpaper by choosing not too expensive models. Wallpaper is easier and cheaper is not always less served or not so bright look. If there is a taste, then you can perform the inner finish with enough cheap wallpaper, which will look an order better than the decoration of the room in expensive and better wallpaper.


It is extremely important to acquire only expensive and high-quality elements of plumbers, including pipes and all possible connections. This is especially true of those who are going to hide inside the walls. In case of case high pressure and low quality burst pipe, you will have to break the wall to find a problem, eliminate, and after moving finishing work. And you can immediately choose high-quality pipes, about which you can not worry for a long time.

Wiring is also not the component of the house where it would be possible to save. Many as wiring are often used aluminum wires. But in fact, they are not as high quality and durable. Much better are the copper wires, however, they are an order of magnitude more expensive. But, it is not worth saving for them. In addition to the wires, it will not prevent good qualitative protective devicesProtecting the building from voltage drops, as well as on the number of automata installed in the camshaft.


Repair home with your hands videoincludes not only the repair work of the foundation, roofs, walls, replacement of wiring and pipes, as well as strengthening overlaps. Repair is also high quality interior decoration The premises on which an equally important task is assigned than the building itself. Your home should bring you a pleasure from staying in it, give positive emotions and raise your mood. Having spent a lot of money and repair time, you should not remember many more years about it.

The inner space of the house should be cozy and comfortable for households. Each room must be framed in accordance with the purpose of the room, the location and wishes of the one who will constantly be in it. Design options has recently become even more. Modern styles are so many that it is very difficult to allocate among them the one that is most affordable for the design of the private houses. Everyone is good in its own way, has its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is necessary to choose only by your personal considerations and preferences. If you are more attracted to home comfort, warmth and comfort, then you should stop your choice on the classic style or country. These two directions will bring to the atmosphere of the room all those components that you have long dreamed of. The classic is loved by all for no one century, and there will be more popular for the same period. Therefore, by choosing classic style, you definitely do not lose.


Country attracts with his cute, home furnishings. Many have this stylist to rural areas.

In the interior, many textiles in warm colors, soft toys and a lot of decor prevailing. Agree, such an interior will look very cute and comfortable.


IN last year Special popularity is gained by such styles as minimalism and modern. Of course, they are very fashionable and ultramodern, but it is impossible to call them cute and homemade. The fact is that they are quite strict, there is practically no decor, everything is stylish, strictly and concise.

Repair of houses do it yourself photo- The task is not out of simple and it is necessary to approach it in good faith, so as not to make mistakes and do not perform the same work several times.

The main thing is to take into account all our recommendations, make repair in good faith. And if there are no special skills in the repair and all the more, complex works, it is better to seek help from specialists than to do it yourself, but not correct.


1. Good mine with a bad game.

Silk from 100 percent polyester. Tile "Under Stone", Linoleum "Under Parquet", Laminate "Under Onyx", "Trigark" under Ralph Lauren. Cerambrants "under Python". "Artificially aged" something there ... It is even embarrassing about it. Alas, the room will not pass. Polyce good interior logs. There is a stone everywhere - it's a stone, and a tree - exactly what a tree. If there is no money for a parquet, and a simple laminate is below your dignity, look for a good engineering board. As a result, you will get the floor that looks much more expensive for money spent on it. A good alternative to porcelain stoneware for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways - cement tiles. The result will look more expensive than the stock edge.

2. Leave the ceiling alone.

All steel just obsessed with ceilings! If you think sensitly, causing attention to the ceiling, you just remind everyone about its existence. And accordingly its height. The ceilings with a height of two sixty will not turn into, although the magnificent vaults are melting somewhere in the unthinkable embroidery. This can not be that you would have enlisted "decorator tricks." Just accept it. High door openings can make much more for your home than a ridiculous five-layer ceiling with neon backlight. Let be interior doors There are two height, let's say twenty. BUT doorknobs Slightly lower, five-seven centimeters. Showing a non-standard approach, you will be pleasantly surprised by the result.

3. Selecting the paint for the walls, consider the color of the house.

Neighboring. If you have a bright living room, let the hallway be painted in a deep, relatively dark color. The cost of paint in any case will be the same, and the result may look really expensive.

4. Buy modular laminate cabinets in the store, And do the doors to them in a good joinery workshop.

It will give you a significant savings, which, however, no one will ever notice. The same is true for equipping the kitchen.

5. If you still acquire the finished cabinet furniture, Let the pilkers of the facades be dark, and the meter's panels are simple (rectangular).

Remember: Light tree always looks cheaper. Avoid yellowish and reddish shades of veneer. And, saving on the furniture itself, wait on good pens!

6. If there is no money on a good carpet, look for carpet from viscose or blended fibers, imitating a silk or woolen pile carpet.

Select the color and texture that suits you and order a piece of the size you need. For additional small money, its edges will be tested.

7. Put the curtains on a dense lining.

Even inexpensive curtain fabric from this will seriously win. Look for a three-meter width fabric. It gives significant savings. If you are not ready to spend a lot, refuse to adequate textiles (fabrics with a pattern). When laying tissues with a pattern, due to the need to properly docile the web, there are many trimming. The more rapport - the more waste. Do not use a curtain braid for the porter. Let the seamstress laid "manual" folds. It is not so expensive, but the folds collected on the braid look very cheap.

8. Set headset set. The same things in the interior are permissible only in one case: if these are paired things forming a symmetric composition. And leave the sconce from one set to whom God did not give imagination. They are also the sets of upholstered furniture "sofa-two chairs" and the like tender sadness. Read more - see the next item.

9. Finished solutions.

Bad news: they are not. At least for us. The shower room is erected by a construction method because it is a room. If you do not hold a student hostel or underground massage interior with a striptease, a shower (this is a sad construction of a yellow acrylic and a peasive door) you will not work. Do not shiver on the "designer" plumbing. Let be appearance Plumbing equipment bathroom (kitchen, bathroom) will be dictated by the function. Buy washbasins and mixers of simple forms, without an inappropriate decor. The toilet must be inconspicuous and cope with its duties. Nobody will admire them, right?

10. Pictures, Estampa, engraving, photos and posters Frame into simple, but deep frames with glass and necessarily in the passecut.

Even the picture, printed on a home inkjet printer (or naive child drawing), in such a framed looks very significant. Play with the sizes of the passe. Little work in a very wide client looks like a very "designer". And, by the way, the cardboard for the passecut can be almost any color.

11. Comfort. Another collective fetish.

According to my observations, the fact that in our Palestines is referred to as "comfort", in 99 percent of cases - poetted close. In many ways, this is the bodily memory of the past childhood, about the warm and gentle scarce Soviet life with carpets, sisite saprophites, a good grandmother, Czechoslovak Crystam and by anyone who is not a reader in the polished Polish wall "Gankka". The coziness will not yet add an expensive shaveless type of a round bed with music and a minibar, a bar counter with a built-in aquarium, etc. The same is true for such rich things as Lambreken, Garland and Svag. Do not worry: in a good, thoughtful interior, the comfort is inevitably coming natural way. Therefore…

12. ... Goodbye, Gypsy Sir!

Duples from the Boszya in small Nefertiti, towels in scarlet roses, "outstanding" shades of pillowcases, nylon blankets with Shanghai leopards. All this is the attributes of collective farm chic, sorry for the directness. They will not add comfort. The painting is often necessary for these things solely in order to hide their exceptionally lousy quality. Let bed linen and bath towels will be simply white (options: ivory, extractive). But from Excellent Egyptian cotton.

13. However, the ivory is also important not to overdo it.

Peach, beige, sandy ... The average nuance gamma is good for network hotels. As their screen interiors are obliged to like everyone. Your interior should like you. After all, he is the manifestation of your essence, right? Take in your hand fan palette of any manufacturer of paints. Do you feel pleasant severity? These are your features. Do not miss them!

So, you start the overhaul of your home. It is no longer possible to postpone on it - almost everything happened over time. So work you will have a grandiose. How to start, what stages in the work are coming and who will do all this - you yourself or a hired team of specialists?

Where to start the overhaul of the house

With a real estimate of the position - the volume of work, your skills and repair skills, financial opportunities. Ideally, it is best to hire an experienced brigade led by a good foreman. He will offer the project of overhaul, will be responsible for the course and quality of repair. In Arsenal, the pros has everything required tools For any type of work.

But in practice, in order to save costs, the owners have to take a lot to themselves. Make a detailed plan, determining that you will change dramatically - roof, facade, communications, windows, doors. Surely something will require simply partial repair. Calculate the upcoming costs, to drafting the estimate should be done very carefully. Separately settle the calculation for all objects:

  • measure the area of \u200b\u200beach surface (ceiling, walls, floor);
  • measure the length of pipes, wires for communications;
  • consider the number of necessary materials (bricks, tiles, wallpapers, flooring, etc.), based on the measurements obtained.

Stages of major repairs at home

Overhaul of the house includes external work, replacement engineering communications and internal work.

Replacing communications (water supply, sewers, electrical wiring, heating, ventilation, gas supply) not only time consuming, cost, but also requires special knowledge and skills. It is better to trust it by masters.

Since the repair of your home is capital, the replacement of doors and windows you will be spent. Concerning plastic windows, then independent installation of them - the occupation is risky. Improper measurement or non-compliance with the installation technology can lead to a violation of the design geometry, which, in turn, will disturb the heat and sound insulation. But the doors can be installed independently:

  • dismantle old door with frame;
  • in the opening we install a new door frame;
  • we blow up the mounting foam of the gap between the frame and the opening, let dry, plaster;
  • we wear the door to the pre-greased loops.

The foundation is the basis of the house. If cracks are found in it, it means that, over time, he gave a precipitate and will need to strengthen it:

  • clean the foundation from dirt and old plaster;
  • in the construction of the base, we score a metal grid, secure it to anchors;
  • we establish a formwork and concrete on the sides;
  • after hardening the concrete, we fall asleep trenches, each layer is tamped;
  • apply an external decorative facing layer.

Overhaul of a private house will clearly require roof repair. It may be dismantling the coating and its replacement, heat and sound insulation of the attic. The overhaul system may be required, if the damage to the rot will exceed 50% of the total area. From roofing materials, experts recommend metal tile or ondulin.

Then you can start updating the facade. Old walls, depending on the state, will have to pay special attention: if they were led, disassemble and put it again. And if the walls have not lost their strength, then the facade will be separated. To do this, you will have to remove the old coating, close the cracks. You may need to insulate the walls. After careful inspection, the method of thermal insulation (internal or external) is determined and the insulation technology is selected: "Wet method" or hinged ventilated facades.

After the end of the exterior work, you can start finishing indoors. Bathrooms and kitchens will take place first:

  • we start with dismantling old plumbing and pipes;
  • install and establish electrical equipment;
  • we carry out sanitary work;
  • align the walls and floors;
  • we produce tile work;
  • we repair the ceiling;
  • insert interroom doors;
  • install plumbing devices.

The decoration of the rooms is the final stage of the overhaul of the house. Removal old wallpaper, flatten the walls, glue new. On the ceiling, if there is a desire and means, set the suspension system. Covering on the floor choose to your taste - laminate, linoleum, parquet, carpet. Many for the insulation of the house use the "Warm floor" system.


Since overhaul must be prepared in advance, it would be nice to explore the topic in detail:

  • read construction logs;
  • examine thematic sites;
  • visit the forums where people sometimes give very valuable advice from personal experience;
  • browse the video tutorials from real professionals.

Even if you are involved in the work of the masters, you need to be in the subject, controlling the process. Drive the diary of the work, where you will record addresses and phone numbers of the desired stores, contacts of specialists, prices for materials, credit accounting. Make the mark, comments - everything is useful! After all, overhaul is not forever, after some time it will be necessary to reproduce something in the house.

Not many have the opportunity in a short time to make overhaul of the whole house in a short time, in this case divide this process at the stage.

Is it possible to do without attracting builders? It is unlikely that it will be definitely answered: yes or not. Of course, repair with your own hands will save a certain amount for payment for services. But if you allow mistakes, the alteration will fly into an extra penny. Independent overhaul at home is most likely stretched not for months, but for years. So we have all "for" and "against" - and good luck to you!

Installation of a warm floor under the tile:
