From the countryside to the city

It is not always possible to move from the countryside to the city , and we have to research to renovate home easily . Often, in fact, you have to adapt and wait, but it happens that you have to live in a house that, underneath, we do not feel 100% ours. It is the fault of the antique furniture, of a limiting structure that is difficult to adapt to the most modern changes. But why adapt when the solutions could be simple and multiple?
So here is a new column signed Realigro , focused on the renovation of a house in the countryside, in full modern style.
So, if you are ready, we can start our mini guide !

Design first, act then

We know. In these things you can’t wait to see the results you’ve been hoping for. But the most serious mistake would be to act without having a clear plan in mind. It is therefore necessary to plan each intervention, taking care of even the smallest details. Especially when we are talking about ancient environments that are not suited to important structural changes, it is necessary to take small steps but aimed at a specific objective.
You already choose which rooms will be the subject of the change and above all which areas to keep intact but equally in line with the new style adopted.

What to leave and what to modify

When you decide to renovate an old house, typically country house, in a modern property, you should choose. Between what? Between the elements that will be the object of the transformation and the untouchable ones. On the basis of what to make this selection ?
Here are some of our advice:

First of all, choose the rooms on which to act. If it is impossible to renovate some of them at a structural level, play with the colours and furniture.
Value the purely natural cladding and materials: stone and wood are the must-haves of 2020. Change can also take place in a sustainable way!
Remain sober: since the modern style can be easily modified, by virtue of fashion, we advise you not to dare too much in terms of structural changes. Remember that modernity is not synonymous with extravagance. Rather, opt for the valorisation of some previously unused areas.
The spaces : who said that spaces should remain the preset ones ? By using a booth, you can make that modification which is not too expensive but which will guarantee you greater versatility.

Continuity in spaces: from the countryside to the city

Although it may seem complicated, it is not so difficult to maintain a kind of continuity between spaces. The advice is to pour it all into the style. What do we mean by that?
Even in structurally different environments you can apply a unique style, so that you can not lose the atmosphere of home. An example ? Using the same flooring in all rooms will ensure a visual continuum and mental order. Try, where possible, to exploit the light. If there is the possibility to build a bright passage thanks to the presence of large windows, you can use them to renovate your home. So install the same type of windows and doors. That we remember, after a number of years, need a replacement!

A call to nature

But if you want to keep the true essence of your former country house, we recommend you to play with the accessories. Select paintings or furnishing accessories, such as carpets or shelves, that can evoke the country environment. You are always in a country house, and it is right to maintain contact with the surrounding environment.

So, are you ready to radically change from the countryside to the city?
