Furnish your home on a small budget

Every now and then we know, there is a need for changes.

At the beginning of a renovation there is always the fear of exceeding the set budget due to unforeseen work or complications that cannot be foreseen, but it is possible to save with certainty at least on the products that are used without having to give up on design.

How to save on furniture

If the budget for the renovation is limited, it is necessary to focus on what is really fundamental: it is important to correctly define the priorities that in a home must be the comfort and usability of the rooms.

We want to focus mainly on the bathroom and the kitchen, two environments that are essential for having the opportunity to live a new home.

In the kitchen, after choosing the furniture and appliances, it is essential to choose the right taps. There are different types, from the more traditional ones to those with pull-out shower up to the innovative water treatment systems.

The production of kitchen mixers is now so vast that it is not difficult to find good quality products without spending a fortune: it is important, however, to consider the purchase of a mixer equipped with a flow limiter able to regulate the flow of water to reduce the water consumption. At first, this type of kitchen faucet may have a slightly higher cost but allows you to save water and have an economic return in the long term.

EXAMPLES

Assuming instead of having a higher initial expense and going to amortize it in the long term, it is possible to buy a kitchen mixer with domestic water purifier: the initial cost is quite high, but it allows you to avoid the purchase of bottles of drinking water, both natural and sparkling.

EXAMPLES

As for the bathroom, however, the purchase must focus on sanitary fittings, taps and shower cubicles and, even in this case, it is important to focus on the best value for money.

A low quality faucet certainly has a lower cost at the time of purchase but in a short time it can present problems such as stains on the chrome plating or finish with exfoliation: the range of bathroom mixers is decidedly wide and constantly expanding and it is possible to choose between the best brands of taps without spending too much.

The replacement of a poor ceramic or faucet in a few years would affect not only the cost of the new product, but also the labor required for the removal and re-installation of the sanitary appliances.

Always with an eye to the environment (and to the wallet), mixers with lever with the cold water opening in the central position are also available with costs slightly higher than traditional taps: this device avoids false ignition of the boiler to have lukewarm water when this is not really needed (for example when we open the tap only to wash our hands).

This reduces energy consumption and, consequently, the gas bill because the boiler ignites less.
