How to make the apartment comfortable and why we need an architect?



No word on Feng Shuya you will not find here. I will not talk about "nakrashivanii lips, and the real establishment of the apartment in which one can not exist, but to live. It also goes on the placement of vases, paintings, toys, and on more fundamental things to think about which stands at the very early stages of owning your apartment.
All my tips today are worth the money, but not so large as it might seem at first glance. It is important to understand - to my advice worth considering only if you plan to live in an apartment, because the costs incurred will not come back to you in the form of increased market value of your property.
Architect
After making a half-dozen repairs in their apartments, I came to the conclusion that for a truly comfortable home architect is a must. Why? Because even if you were a genius, but not being a professional in this sphere, you can not provide everything that a professional can and should provide. However, for your money, and sometimes considerable.
What this may do the architect, and what does not handle the average person?
The architect will provide not only the future appearance of the apartment (this will cope well most of us), but also the future operation of your home: who and where will do what, where and what will be and what you need for security and order, and another, where and that will disappear, and how.

For example, how much you have in an apartment outlets? Two in each room? Not bad. And you've done repairs and added another eight? Too personal, but it begins to resemble an exhibition electroaccessories. And here in my home outlets as much as needed, and exactly where needed! No extensions! No tees! No undue stress on a single wire! Each outlet knows what she is here, and a section of lead wire is designed specifically for this load. Be able to do so themselves? Madness of the brave ...

Placement of furniture

It may sound strange, but the placement of furniture in my apartment had been worked out before a final decision on buying it. Why? Because it is impossible to judge the adequacy or inadequacy of a residential area on the number of residents, number of rooms or floor space.

It is important to know who and what will engage in a room, you need to do and whether there is in nature (and fits into your budget if) that prospective tenants will be located in his apartment. Accordingly, without studying the lifestyle of the customer and the preliminary sketch of arrangement of furniture is no qualitative project can not be created.

For example, you plan to put in the living room sofa. What sofa? What size? Will it be decomposed, and how? What it will do? Sleep? Or watch TV? Or read? From the right and honest answers to these questions depends the layout of rooms, location of electrical appliances near the sofa, opposite the sofa (for TV and other equipment) will be a technical solution for wiring, perhaps - potential limitations to the ceilings and walls, etc.

Feel like all interconnected? But it is precisely in this reconciliation and comfortable accommodation is born. Without it - it's just poorly fitted pieces of different puzzles, ironically located next to each other.

However, not one of reasonableness valuable architect. As a professional, he simply must follow all the news and trends in the design and layout of dwellings and sometimes a few details can make the operation of your home an order of magnitude better.

For example, you know what a pass switch? I'm five years ago did not know. And it is the architect proposed to establish such in several places of my apartment. Now my children are on the whole route to the bathroom at night may at first turn on the light, and at the end of the way - off (and thus not found in the country and the dark-ashnoy missing switch).

Trivia? I'll bet. If additional costs, comparable to the price of bottles of domestic sparkling wine, I can once and for all their children from having to face the darkness - I am ready to do it. I am confident that you will too.

There are many details that are worth paying attention, creating a truly comfortable accommodation. However, we'll talk about next time
