Interior example
To decorate living rooms, you can choose absolutely any style, it all depends only on the owner’s imagination.
For example, the design of a 3 by 6 room can be stylized as Egyptian.
- Light or yellow walls are plastered or lined with rectangular sandstone slabs. It is possible to decorate with papyrus and reed borders, as well as frescoes.
- Niches, arches and columns will organically fit into the interior.
- The floor should be covered with ceramic tiles and equipped with heating.
- The ceiling is painted blue and decorated with a stylized starry sky.

Design development
To create a spectacular, comfortable modern interior, it is necessary to think through all the details, take into account the lifestyle, habits and preferences of the owners of the house, calculate the design features of load-bearing structures, utilities, and lighting.
Only a harmonious combination of all parameters allows you to create an original, comfortable, respectable apartment interior.
Do not be surprised if during the discussion the architect asks questions that seem not to be related to repairs and design. For example, he will take an interest in the working hours, the hobbies of older family members, the talents of children and the hospitality of the owners of the house.
From all these little things, the overall concept of the project is formed - lighting option, arrangement of furniture, heating radiators, the need to install sound-absorbing partitions, wiring of utilities, choice of flooring, room finishing options.
Specialists want to see your dream apartment with your eyes, to notice a thousand construction and design details that make up a high-quality project.

Features of apartment renovation
Despite the very good location of the premises in the houses of the 121 series, residents want to change it for the better. They are not satisfied with the standard layout; they want the living space to acquire individuality. Repairs and design changes are not always effective.
An improved home layout is achieved by demolishing partitions, changing the configuration of rooms and combining the bathroom. The windows will need to be replaced by installing double glazed windows. You can turn your apartment into a studio, expand the kitchen by demolishing a wall into a pantry, or connect a balcony to it.
Let's take a closer look at the renovation features for each layout option: one-room, two-room and three-room apartments.
One-room
The layout of a 1-room apartment in series 121 buildings does not allow for drastic changes to the living space. The walls, with some exceptions, are load-bearing, therefore, they cannot be removed. The features of the house are such that you can either combine the kitchen and living room, creating a spacious studio, or make two small ones out of one room, adding a pantry to them. This redevelopment option is needed if the family has grown and each member needs a separate room.
Two-room
The layout of a 2-room apartment in houses of the 121 series is different: living rooms are of the same or different sizes. But each layout option is a common wall between one of the rooms and the kitchen. Redevelopment of the apartment in this case consists of demolishing this partition and creating a spacious living room combined with a kitchen. The second room is reserved for the bedroom. Sometimes the bathroom is also refurbished, removing the partition and making it combined. The area of the room will allow you to install additional equipment or furniture for the bathroom.
Three-room
The layout of a 3-room apartment in a building of 121 series - a pantry next to the kitchen and two living rooms with a common wall, the third is separate, allows you to design the living space in different ways. Depends on the needs of all family members and their number.
If one person lives in an apartment and is tired of the standard layout, they tear down the partitions between the rooms and the kitchen, decorate the walls and ceiling in light colors and get a spacious studio. The hallway is combined with it or separated using blinds. If family members require two bedrooms, they do without a major restructuring, but simply combine the hallway, living room and kitchen into one.

Requirements that must be met when remodeling
If the house belongs to series 121, and the layout of the apartment is no longer satisfactory, you can change it. But doing everything on your own is a big mistake. You can accidentally knock down a load-bearing wall, which could cause the building to collapse. Any redevelopment requires certain actions from the apartment owner:
- obtaining permission from everyone living in this area and the housing department, it is required even to replace ordinary windows with plastic ones;
- contact a design organization that is accredited to develop the project;
- submit the project to the Housing Department along with an application for redevelopment;
- receive an acceptance certificate after the BTI assessment;
- register changes in the cadastral chamber and re-register ownership documents.
Something is done before the redevelopment begins, and some actions are possible only after it is completed.
Large-scale demolition of partitions is good for those buildings where there is a freight elevator, especially if the apartment is on the upper floors.
Interior example
To decorate living rooms, you can choose absolutely any style, it all depends only on the owner’s imagination.
For example, the design of a 3 by 6 room can be stylized as Egyptian.
- Light or yellow walls are plastered or lined with rectangular sandstone slabs. It is possible to decorate with papyrus and reed borders, as well as frescoes.
- Niches, arches and columns will organically fit into the interior.
- The floor should be covered with ceramic tiles and equipped with heating.
- The ceiling is painted blue and decorated with a stylized starry sky.
Of course, design projects of standard apartments can be subject to such changes only with the permission of utility services, otherwise the redevelopment will be meaningless. Initially, you need to draw up a project for your future apartment and develop a unique design.
