However, if new ideas have arisen in you already during the renovation, then they can still be brought to life. Knowledge of the range It is important to contact high-class designers, because they are the ones who are well acquainted with the range in furniture stores. This knowledge will come in handy if you cannot find a particular element with certain qualities from the selected manufacturer - it is quite possible that it is available in another store, from another manufacturer. This is difficult, but this is a real way out of the situation - if the goal is to save money, then this can be achieved, you just need to make an effort. The use of furniture spacers More recentlyI was approached by a woman who had two symmetrical niches for a library designed in her apartment. The customer wanted to use furniture from the same manufacturer from whom she had already purchased a kitchen, a sideboard and a bar counter. I suggested that she make niches to match the size of standard furniture from the same manufacturer, but she refused. In this situation, there are two options. The first is to take standard bases and make furniture spacers that will close these gaps. The second is to use non-standard bases for the individual size of the already installed niche and use decorative furniture plugs, which are a recognizable highlight of this furniture collection. The expensive method is the one in which we will change the size of the furniture. In such a situation, we are forced to choose between beauty and savings. Changing the dimensions of furniture Often happenssituations when you have everything calculated in such a way that all the necessary furniture fits into the room without any problems, but in the end the dimensions of, for example, a bedside table turn out to be large. If you like this piece of furniture so much, then theoretically you can reduce it by a few centimeters. But in practice it is easier to buy other bedside tables of the existing size. Mistakes in furniture sizes are a common occurrence, which ultimately costs a lot of money, especially if a person does not turn to professionals. Then unforeseen expenses arise. A common difficulty is associated with the kitchen, when it is almost always mounted in a niche, and the upper or lower part of the base has to be taken to a local carpentry shop, where they can change the size of the furniture and cover the ends of the cuts with veneer or MDF to match the color of your kitchen. Now you can adjust the dimensions of almost any furniture. When ordering individually, the markup is approximately 30-40% of the cost of a standard product according to the price list. The market is oversaturated, so manufacturers have become quite flexible. In addition, there are factories for which the word "non-standard" simply does not exist. They are engaged exclusively in individual production. Thus, they occupy their own niche, which is in high demand among buyers. 5 tips from the editors

  • Order a layout with furniture arrangementonly from an interior designer or architect. Oddly enough, this step can save you up to 40% of your budget. Since an architect can almost always find a more affordable alternative or order from a local manufacturer.
  • When ordering cabinet furniture, make sure thatRemained "technical" gaps on the layout of furniture in niches or in a narrow space. You in fact leave on 2 cm from each party at installation of the washing machine? Do the same with furniture.
  • In the case where the furniture was larger bySize, try to approach the issue without emotion. Consider different options: from the fact that some elements can be filed, to the fact that it is for this furniture you can find another place in the apartment. With the kitchen, this option will not work, but with all the rest of the furniture - easily. We saw many beautiful interiors, where the main violin was played by an object that did not fit into one room, and it had to be moved to another.
  • In case the furniture turned out to be much smaller in size, try to supplement the "stubs" in the local production. For cabinets, you can sometimes make cornices, for kitchens - side plugs.
  • If a piece of furnitureIt turns out to be too expensive for your ideas, specify if there is a similar model with a more affordable "filling". It is likely that the bedside table will cost 30% less if inside it will be finished not with veneer, but with melamine or laminate. And even if you change, say, handles from steel to metal ones. Even buying a kitchen in IKEA, on one hand, you can save decent money.
  • Most of the factories producing corpsFurniture, offers several types of finishes in different price categories: from varieties of melamine and laminate to veneer expensive varieties of wood. The final difference in price can be from 10 to 100%, depending on the volume and quality of the material used.
  • We are not urging you to take only the cheapest one.finishing and the cheapest fittings. We tell you about what you can really save on. And of course, it's up to you to decide. Someone will prefer to take a Chinese fake in natural veneer, and someone will choose the original, but in laminate. By the way, the latest generation of laminates (in this case, we are talking only about those used by large furniture factories in the medium and higher sectors) has become impossible to distinguish from veneer by touch and appearance. They are now warm and rough, and the pattern imitating veneer is impeccable.
