When purchasing an apartment, the first situation that comes to mind is where to start. The issues of electrical, hydraulic and apartment decoration they must walk together in the assembly. Each change made affects the rest of the complementary projects, so the compatibility of the three must be made so that there are no errors at the time of execution.
How to decorate the apartment?
For those who hire a professional in the area, everything is easier and more practical, despite the high cost. However, those who want to venture into this task can follow some tips to follow! There are three ways to decorate an apartment:
1. Define a style and stick with it in all choices
Choose a style of your choice to fit all your home decor! For example, for those who admire the industrial style, choose heavy materials such as exposed brick and concrete. In lighting, carbon filament rails and lamps are essential. The apparent structures with pipes, beams and pillars create even more factory air.
As with other proposals, a good search on the internet helps a lot to catch the striking characteristics of each style. With that, build your wall of inspirations by environment, in the end to result in a beautiful and harmonic apartment decoration composition!
2. Do the entire project in a planned furniture store
Custom furniture is an easy way to get your apartment ready in 60 days. Some items such as electrical, lighting and coatings must be taken care of by the residents themselves, and nothing like a specialized labor to take care of this part.
This is also a way for those who want to build the apartment little by little, since the investment in apartment decoration is very high. Ensure the basics with woodwork and decorate your way little by little!
3. Choose a key part in each environment
For each room to be assembled, choose a material or an object that you want to insert into the environment. For example, in a room that wants an upholstered headboard, try to adapt the rest of the decoration based on this upholstery texture and color. A kitchen with geometric tiles can combine with a more neutral and minimalist woodwork. A bathroom with marble application does not need much more to look beautiful, so the sanitary fittings already give the special touch. Seek inspiration and be creative in your choices!
The important thing is to decorate with the taste of the residents! Below we have separated 60 apartment decoration projects that show different ways of setting up social areas. Get inspired to do your project:
