Repair. Personal.

Everyone has experienced times when not only do you not feel like doing necessary repairs, but you don’t even want to do weekly cleaning. Is it just fatigue, a lack of fresh ideas, or financial difficulties? Let’s figure out what the problem is, how to solve it, and also try to find some inspiration for renovating your home.

When do you need a renovation?

This is the first question you should ask yourself before starting any work. After all, if your renovation is only two years old, it’s no wonder you don’t want to change anything. Practice shows that changes in the home are appropriate in the following cases:

• The renovation is more than 10 years old and you’re so used to it that you simply don’t notice any changes in the interior.
• Decorative wall coverings have worn out over time – wallpaper has faded, there are stains and scuffs on the paint.
• Force majeure has happened – neighbors flooded your apartment, the cat scratched the corners, or children drew on the wallpaper.
• The interior design style is outdated. This especially concerns homes whose renovations date back to the late ’90s. Lots of gold, multi-level ceilings, arches, and massive furniture are long gone. Modern interior culture promotes lightness and simplicity, convenience and elegance. The home needs to be updated according to the times and trends.

If you’ve rationally assessed your living space and realized that changes are necessary, it’s time to look for solutions. Where can you find them most easily?

• With friends and neighbors. If your apartment is in a new building, don’t hesitate to discuss renovations with new neighbors. It’s normal for residents of the same building to share experiences. This makes it easier to understand the specifics of construction, take a closer look at planning and ways of using it. And friends and family who have recently renovated can always give quality advice about construction and finishing materials, hiring workers, or even lend you a discount card for a hardware store.
• On TV shows. TV projects where experts transform traditional apartments in old high-rises are very popular. It’s quite possible that you’ll see an apartment with your layout there and be able to repeat an idea you like.
• Pages of interior designers on social networks. Almost every trendy and successful designer runs their own Facebook or Instagram page. Subscribe to them and look through completed projects. This will help you spot modern interior trends and decide what you would like to implement in your own home.

By the way, “ZIP”, as a manufacturer of paints and varnishes, also runs pages for its brands on social media. The best ideas realized with our TRIORA interior paints can be viewed on the TRIORA YouTube channel. You can even implement these ideas yourself.

• Pinterest is a true source of ideas for interior décor that you can do yourself. Take a look and register—Pinterest has never left anyone without inspiration.

The more beautiful interior ideas and solutions you see, the more information your brain receives. By giving it enough material to process, soon you’ll be able to generate your own options for home renovation. We’re confident that the project you create for your future renovation will be the best one for your home.
