Hoy lunes empezamos la semana enseñandoos la decoración de la casa de un seguidor de este blog. Es una casa normal como la de muchos de los que me seguís que, aunque no tenga el glamour ni la exquisitez de un buen mobiliario de firma ni el sello de un decorador de prestigio, está llena de ideas económicas y resueltas. Además, está decorada con toda la ilusión, la necesidad y las ganas de hacer del hogar de uno mismo un sitio diferente, identificado con quienes lo habitan y, a poder ser, equilibrado y agradable.
Today is Monday, and we start the week showing you the decoration of the home of one follower of this blog. It is a standard home, and though it has neither glamour nor good furniture pieces from the very best firms, nor the imprint of a prestigious interior decorator, it is full of inexpensive and decisive ideas. In addition, it is decorated with all the enthusiasm, the needs and the desires of making one's home a different place, identified with those who live in it and, when possible, well balanced and nice.

Por eso en el reportaje de hoy os muestro la decoración que han querido compartir con todos vosotros una pareja joven de seguidores del blog. ¿Y porque os la enseño? Pues porque se trata de un piso normal de dos habitaciones y un baño, decorado con muy, muy poco dinero (creéroslo, es cierto) pero con todo el mimo y cuidado del mundo. Un piso en el que, a pesar de las carencias presupuestarias existentes y de tirar de un almacén de muebles económicos y de firmas lowcost, han conseguido un resultado (dentro del estilo moderno contemporáneo) muy coordinado y colorista. Además, es un piso lleno de ideas prácticas, ingeniosas y baratas que seguro os sorprenderán y que incluso os pueden ayudar e inspirar.
That's why in today's report I show you the decoration that a couple of young followers of the blog wanted to share with you all. And why am I showing it to you? Because it's all about a standard apartment with two rooms and a bathroom, decorated with very, very little money (believe me, it is true) but putting into it all the care and attention in the world. An apartment in which, in spite of the budget shortages, and of having to make do with a set of low-cost and economic furniture firms, they have achieved a very well-coordinated and colourful result (in the context of a modern contemporary style). In addition, this is a floor full of practical, clever and inexpensive ideas that will surprise you, and can even help and inspire you.

Cortinas de Ikea (¡por 9 euros!), lámparas también de Ikea, alfombra de tablillas de Leroy Merlín, papel pintado de Leroy Merlín y mobiliario del almacén de muebles económicos Kima.
Ikea's curtains (just 9 Euros!), lamps also from Ikea, carpet from Leroy Merlin, wall paper from Leroy Merlin and furniture from cheap store Kima.

La iluminación del mueble de salón la resolvieron rescatando la parte superior de una vieja y fea lámpara de pié de tipo pebetero recuperada por ellos y que de este modo se ha convertido en una original copa de luz. El resto de iluminación del mueble se ha resuelto escondiendo detrás del mismo unos leds de Ikea.
The lighting of the furniture in the living room was solved by reusing the top section of an old and ugly lamp recovered by them, and turned into an original glass of light. The rest of the furniture lighting has been solved by hiding a few of Ikea's leds behind that furniture.

Este es un ejemplo de cómo podemos dar alegría y personalidad a una estancia de la forma más económica posible. La casa venía con una cocina blanca de obra (entregada con el piso) que los propietarios no pudieron elegir a su gusto. Con unas simples y coloristas pegatinas en los muebles, compradas en Leroy Merlín en colores verdes muy vistosos, y unas cortinas de persiana , también de Leroy Merlín y a medida, pero puestas en diferente color y combinadas con el color oscuro y claro de las pegatinas se consigue que la cocina se vea completamente distinta y personalizada.
This is a clear example of how we can provide a room with joy and personality in the most unexpensive way. The house already came with a white kitchen, so the owners could not choose it to their liking. With some simple and colourful stickers in the furniture, bought in Leroy Merlin, in very eye-catching green colours, and a few slat curtains, also from Leroy Merlin and made-to-measure, but in a different colour and combined with the dark and light colour of the stickers, the kitchen has a completely different look, and hence it is now a personalized kitchen.

Una idea simple y barata pero efectiva, ¿no creéis?
A simple and inexpensive idea, but a very effective one, isn't it?

En el baño, los propietarios apostaron también por un color intenso: un naranja osadamente combinado con el gris plata (gris que a su vez, les había sobrado de una obra anterior). Como tenían claro que querían dar un color al baño que contrastara bien con el gris y no encontraban un mueble que les satisficiera al precio que lo buscaban, decidieron comprar dos armarios blancos de lavabo sencillos en Leroy Merlín y pintarlos ellos mismos en naranja; además de cambiar los tiradores originales por unos en color plata. Los lavabos son de cristal al ácido comprados con el mueble. Los accesorios (toallero, portarrollos y espejo de muelle) son de Ikea. Para conseguir encajar en el espacio existente un lavabo para dos se pusieron manos a la obra y desplazaron la calefacción unos centímetros. Aunque los tubos quedaron a la vista, ya que no podían ponerse a picar azulejos, no había problema alguno ya que éstos quedarían ocultos tras el armario.
In the bathroom, the owners also bet on a strong color: orange colour, defiantly combined with silver grey (a grey paint that, in turn, was the remnants of a previous work). They were determined to give their bathroom a colour that would constrast well with the grey, but they had some difficulties in finding a satisfactory furniture at a suitable price. So, they decided to buy two simple, white furniture pieces in Leroy Merlin and to paint them in orange (and do it by themselves); they also replaced the original knobs with ones in silver colour. The wash basins are of acid-washed glass, and came with the furniture. All the accessories (towel rail, toilet roll holder and mirror) are from Ikea. To manage to fit a wash basin for two people into the available space, they got down to work and moved the radiator a few centimeters. Though the pipes remained visible, as they could not afford smashing tiles, in the end that was not a real problem, as these pipes would be kept hidden behind the cabinet.

Una de las cosas que más me llamó la atención de este baño fueron ¡los armarios altos! No estamos acostumbrados a ver este tipo de soluciones en los baños pero los propietarios, al ser un piso tan pequeño, necesitaban espacio y más espacio. Reconozco que si me hubieran hablado de esta solución antes de ver su resultado me hubiera horrorizado con la idea pero en su honor he de decir que, al quedar completamente encastrados entre dos paredes quedan perfectamente integrados en la arquitectura. Además, el toque divertido de poner uno de cada color da dinamismo y vistosidad al conjunto. Encima, es un espacio utilísimo: excelente para guardar las toallas y el papel higiénico de repuesto (que todos sabemos que los 12 o 24 rollos del paquete, hasta que se gastan, tienen que tener un sitio... Jajaja).
One of the things in this bathroom that most catched my eye was... the elevated cabinets! We are not used to seeing this kind of solutions in bathrooms but the owners needed space... and then they needed more space. I must admit that if they had told me about this solution before seeing the final result, I would have been appalled by the idea, but to their honour I have to say that, having kept the cabinets completely embedded between the two walls, they remain perfectly integrated into the architecture. In addition, the funny touch of painting them in different colours gives dynamism and showiness to the whole. Besides, it is the most useful of spaces: excellent to keep the towels and the spare toilet paper (we all know that the 12 or 24 rolls in the package, until they are all used-up, need to have their own place, ... ha, ha, ha).

Y aún no os he contado lo mejor: estos muebles altos son muebles de salón (como los que tienen bajo la televisión). De hecho, los compraron en el mismo sitio. Los colgaron en alto, pintaron los tiradores poniéndolos cambiados para que destacaran y... Ajá!... Un fantástico armario para guardar que ni ocupa espacio ni da sensación de empequeñecerlo.
And I have not told you the best thing yet: these elevated furniture pieces are indeed living room furniture (as the ones they have under the TV set). In fact, they bought all that furtiture in the same shop. They just hung them at a high place, painted the knobs on a, let's say, "negative" basis, in order to highlight them and... Here you are the result!... A fantastic storage cabinet which neither occupies any space, nor even gives the sensation of shrinking the room.

Siguiendo con el toque colorista, pusieron estas divertidas pegatinas de Leroy Merlín para decorar la mampara.
Going on with the colourful touch, they put these funny Leroy Merlin's stickers to decorate the shower screen.

Como véis, la decoración de la casa es una decoración funcional pero muy vitalista, divertida y alegre. Derrocha optimismo y vitalidad. Una vitalidad que no ha sido empañada en absoluto por la escasez de medios sino todo lo contrario.
As you can see, the decoration of the house is a functional, but very vitalist one, and at the same time funny and happy. It is full of optimism and liveliness. A liveliness that has not been blurred by the budget shortage, but quite the opposite.
Enhorabuena pareja!!! Mis felicitaciones por haber sido capaces de hacer decoración con tan bajo presupuesto. Eso tiene mucho, mucho mérito; siempre lo digo. Y gracias por compartir con todos esas ideas tan ocurrentes que habéis aplicado en la decoración de vuestro hogar.

Y a todos los que me seguís, os cuento: la habitación principal, que no aparece en estas fotos, me han prometido enseñarla cuando la terminen y me han contado una serie de ideas que ya tienen en la cabeza para decorarla por poco dinero que seguro que también merecerá la pena conocer.
And for all of you following me, I can tell you: regarding the main room, which does not appear in these photos, they have promised to show it after they finish decorating it, and they have already told me a series of ideas they have in order to decorate it at low cost. I'm sure it will be worth knowing all those ideas.
