Stylish interiors of apartments and houses

The interior of the house reflects the characters of the owners. Sometimes it is very difficult to find “your” design. Stylish interiors have inner harmony. Their composition is a complete picture in which each cog is located in its place. In stylish interiors there are no unnecessary details, any thing has its own functional purpose. Therefore, professional designers recommend before you buy something, ask the question "why does the house need this item?". Let's get acquainted with the peculiarities of creating stylish interiors and consider a number of design techniques that will help to endow the atmosphere with an atmosphere of harmony.

What is a stylish interior

Stylish interior - the decoration of the room, which is carried out in accordance with the rules of design of any design direction. Do not confuse the concept of "stylish" and "fashionable." Style is timeless. It can exist for centuries, as is easily seen in the examples of ancient, colonial or classical trends. Fashion only dictates what is now relevant. All that she once branded as "obsolete", sooner or later receives indulgence and returns as a "well forgotten old." Having filled the house with fashionable "things", the owners will underline their awareness of popular trends, but this does not mean that the interior will become stylish in no time. It can remain tasteless, if you use potpourri of motley parts that are not compatible with each other. In a stylish interior balance between beauty and comfort. It is convenient for the owners of the apartment, but it is admired by the guests. All the details: decoration, decor, type and arrangement of furniture, are selected on the principle of identity and create a single composition in which there are no unnecessary details.


    

How to define your style

Deciding on preferences and choosing a particular style is the most difficult task in design. It becomes doubly difficult if a couple lives in an apartment with completely different characters and tastes. If there is a clash of preferences, then a compromise eclectic style or fusion will be the best way out. Both of these concepts are related, but still have some differences. Eclectic style means "mixing", but the symbiosis of two or three directions should be harmonious, with respect for balance. Fusion is a more youthful style, which involves combining the incompatible, that is, explosive, bright, extraordinary potpourri with its own special atmosphere. It is chosen only by bold creative individuals who are not afraid to experiment with the interior of their own home.

Many designers point out that stylistic preferences originate in a person’s character. For expressive and ambitious people who love to surround themselves with beautiful things and demonstrate their status, they suit royally luxurious classicism, palace and antique styles. For those who value comfort most of all, they don’t suffer from materialism and feel comfortable in Spartan conditions, they choose high-tech or minimalism. These areas are perfectly combined with the pace of life of the citizen who spends more time at work. For fine aesthetes, lovers of exquisite beauty will suit Baroque, Empire, Rococo. Strict conservatives prefer constructivism. Subtle, sensual natures (mostly women) are suitable for chic cheek, provance, romanticism. There is also a separate group of directions "for the amateur". These include a number of ethnic styles: African, Oriental, Japanese, Dutch, German. These directions are chosen by people who are in love with the culture of their country of origin.

The layout will help determine the style. People can immediately be divided into two groups: conservatives and experimenters. Just ask how they relate to the studios. If the combined spaces fall under the taboo, then you are definitely a conservative.

    

A few tips on creating a stylish and modern interior

Professional designers have created a universal "cheat sheet" that will help beginners in the design and ordinary people to properly coordinate their actions when creating a stylish interior:

  • You should never give in to short-term desires and buy things (especially overall ones) “by mood”. Buying items for a stylish interior is the result of a weighted choice.
  • Work on the end result. Imagine a picture - the image of the finished interior. If the goal is too blurred, and the designer fully relies only on the fact that "it will settle itself along the way," the result can be saddening.
  • Pay great attention to the organization of space. Not the last role in it goes to storage systems. Each thing must have its place, the location of which is thought out in advance.
  • Stylish interior should not be too bright or, conversely, too faded. A calm color scheme of the decoration is compensated for with striking accents in the decor. Bright colors on the walls, floor or ceiling are “cooled” with the help of pastel colors in furniture and interior decorations.

To create an environment that will look really stylish, it is recommended to combine colors, textures and materials. With proper combination the room will look luxurious and elegant.

    

Creating a design project

Design project is required when making space. It helps to organize the repair work, plan time and money, choose the layout, furniture, decoration materials, decor and color scheme. In addition, the design project will clearly show the ultimate goal - a sketchy sketch or a 3D model of the finished interior. Working with pencil and paper is not necessary. Now there are many 3D planners that can help you model both one room and the whole house:

  • FloorPlan 3D. The program has a high level of detail. In the finished room, you can "walk" to more clearly see the interior. A useful bonus is the automatic calculation of the area of ​​the room (after entering the data) and the selection of furniture that will fit into it.
  • Sweet Home 3D. The visualizer is designed for beginners. The catalog of interior and furnishing details is rather scant, but even a child can handle the scheduler interface. In just half an hour, you can sketch out three-dimensional models of the interior of the bedroom, living room, kitchen, toilet and bathroom.
  • Planner 5D. A popular planner, which is designed for both room design and landscape. The program allows you to choose not only furniture and decoration, but also stairs, window frames, partitions.

Another pretty interesting planner is IKEA Home Planner. It is suitable for lovers of products from the eponymous Swedish conglomerate. In the catalog of furniture and decor there are only products from Ikea, but you can immediately go to the store and order your favorite wardrobe or bed. Preparation of the design project can not be done in a hurry. The success of the future repair depends largely on how well it will be compiled. The three-dimensional model of the interior will help to find its strengths and eliminate design errors at the design stage, rather than eliminating them after the work has been completed.

We refuse complex forms in the interior

Sophisticated forms in the interior - a sign of rich styles. They are suitable for large spaces. For example, art nouveau is sometimes called the "style of the waves." Zigzags, semicircles, polygons, wavy lines are not combined with a clear and concise geometry of modern styles. The only exception was futurism. This relatively new direction is not complete without "streamlined" forms that are part of its concept. In stylish interiors, designers advise to give preference to squares, rectangles, in rare cases, circles and only straight lines without kinks.


    

Ceiling height and simplicity

The ceiling should be a clean sheet covered with classic white plaster. Even the textural options should be immediately discarded. They do not recommend complicating the geometry of the ceiling with plasterboard levels, which are so often used where this is unnecessary. The decorator should try to keep the maximum height of the walls. This will help change the perception of a small room and make it visually larger.

We combine incompatible

Fusion style does not necessarily embody the whole room. Its role in interior design may be limited to individual accent zones, where they combine the incompatible. To find the original potpourri, take a selection of interiors, which are decorated in different styles. Then on each photo mark your favorite parts. After that, the options for combining them in the same space are thought out, but in such a way that the composition becomes a single whole, rather than a crumbling picture, assembled from different puzzles. To combine it was easier, stick to the chosen color range (preferably within three colors).

Use of natural materials for decoration and decoration

The use of natural materials makes the interior not only environmentally friendly, but also more extravagant. Man has always been drawn to nature, receiving from her a peculiar charge of energy. Because of this, natural materials have a special "character", which allows them to blend with light notes into any design composition. The leader among them was wood. Wood is used not only in decoration and furniture. Even a decor is made of this material with a special texture. From bars collect stylish panels. The twigs connected in the bouquet will be an original substitute for fresh flowers. A deck with a glass top replaces the regular coffee table. Thin slats, assembled in a row, unobtrusively divide the room into zones, and weaving the roots along the balusters of the stairs in a private house will complement the laconic minimalism. The tree in such an unusual form is ideal for eco style and country. Separately, it is worth noting bamboo, which is sometimes mistaken for a tree (and in fact grass). He also became an important detail of minimalism and Japanese ethnic style. Natural stone is used in English, classical and even modern directions. The only difference is that older styles recognize only raw surfaces, placing emphasis on their texture, and the new wave relies on polishing. Leather, fur, animal skins, natural fabrics in stylish interiors are used as a luxurious decor. Another type of natural materials - sea gifts (pebbles, shells, pebbles, stars) are suitable for the eponymous style or romantic interiors that resemble the atmosphere of beach houses.

Highly appreciated items of furniture and decor, created by handicraft from natural materials, subject to minimal processing.

Multilevel lighting

Multilevel lighting is a complex set of functional light sources, which include floor lamps, wall lamps, chandeliers, floor and table lamps. This system allows you to fill the room with warmth, comfort and completely transform the interior, give it depth and volume. Depending on the level of light sources, they are classified into four groups:

  • Outdoor.
  • Desktop. Those that are embedded or placed on furniture surfaces.
  • Wall mounted. Designed only for highlighting a specific area.
  • Ceiling. Give a general light.

According to the light distribution, the lamps are classified into two groups:

  • Those that give diffused (background) light. The lamps of the lamps are covered with special matte shades. Sometimes they direct their light to reflective surfaces so that it multiplies.
  • Those that give direct or directional light. They are designed to focus on some details of the interior. For example, to emphasize the unusual texture of the wall or to highlight the original picture.

Recently, dimmers have become particularly popular - special devices that allow you to adjust the brightness of the lighting. More "advanced" options are connected to LED strips, allowing you to play with colors, including only groups of light bulbs to your taste. With the help of dimmers, you can periodically adjust multi-level lighting, changing the entire interior picture.

A convenient solution would be through switches. With their help it is easy to control the light source from several places in the apartment. For example, to turn off the ceiling light in the bedroom, you can walk to the switch at the door or click the button at the head of the bed, which is placed there in advance. Controlling the light will be as easy as switching channels on the remote from the TV.

The choice of furniture and accessories for rooms

The space in the stylish interiors should breathe freely, so you cannot litter it with furniture and decorative details. At the same time, even in the most low-cost design projects, it is not recommended to save on those elements that should last for a long time (finishing, plumbing, headsets). Try to choose a multifunctional furniture, which, if necessary, compactly folded or replace another piece of furniture. Do not recommend buying kits. They look beautiful only on the pages of glossy magazines, in a house such an environment may seem too bland and dull. The choice of decor is best left last. Assessing the almost finished interior, it is easier to find the parts missing in the composition.


    

Ergonomic use of space

In stylish interiors, first of all appreciate the presence of "air". Get ideas for decorating the space in minimalism. This style is better than others will be able to visually show how to arrange the furniture so that it is both beautiful and compact. The feeling of "purity" of the interior will bring order in the things that fill it. Therefore, you must have the necessary number of storage systems, which is enough for everything. Open shelves with decor can be alternated with closed, where personal items will be folded.
