17.08.2017 You will read it in 9 minutes.

We live in an era when not time and fashion dictate their conditions, but there is a great freedom to choose an interior style for your home. And even for those who want to keep up with the times and at the same time preserve the familiar traditions, you can find many suitable options, mixing modern styles with elements of classic design. Some modern styles, obeying the spirit of the times, have absorbed opposing tendencies and turned into an independent direction. For example, neoclassicism is suitable for those who do not want to sacrifice classical ideas of beauty for the sake of changing fashion. The features of "modernized" Art Deco will perfectly fit into the fashionable design in the spirit of minimalism and constructivism.

In this review, we will consider examples of completed projects from the portfolio of the Fundament Group of Companies, as well as analyze the interior solutions and styles of apartment design that are popular today.

Chandeliers with crystal trims help create a solemn and festive atmosphere in the living room. Instead of plaster moldings and columns with pilasters, there are very laconic moldings, and Art Deco lamps add a special charm and sophistication.

Apartment in a modern style in the residential complex "Grunwald" in Skolkovo

By "modern" style, they usually mean solutions in the style of minimalism or constructivism, complemented by elements of one or two more styles. Neat interspersing of these elements does not make the interior eclectic, but adds a special "flavor" and uniqueness, without destroying the overall modern concept.

Very often, the owners of modern apartments decide on redevelopment and transfer the cooking area to the living room, while the vacated kitchen area can be used for an additional bedroom, nursery or guest room, depending on the needs of the family.

It is difficult to think of a style more suitable for the design of a young girl's room than neoclassicism. And yet, nothing prevents, even in the interior in the chosen style, from making adjustments that will emphasize individuality and will correspond to the characteristics of the hostess.

"Modernized Art Deco" in the design of the living-dining room in the apartment on the street. Nizhny Novgorod

Art Deco elements are perfect for creating a solemn and luxurious setting in a living room in a modern apartment. It is enough to use chandeliers, lamps and some pieces of furniture (for example, chairs) in the Art Deco style to create a modern interior with a unique and vibrant color.

Green shades and mosaics in the bathroom

The breath of the Mediterranean morning is also felt in the design of the bathroom: the mosaic in shades of green acts as a refrain for the coloristic solution of the kitchen, and the light beige shades serve as a warm and harmonious "background".

Mixing styles in the interior of the apartment on the street. Stoletova

And yet one of the most popular design trends is eclecticism, or a mixture of styles. Elements of art deco, classic or modern will give the interior of the apartment in a modern style a special flavor and uniqueness.

Interior solutions and styles of apartment renovation, popular in 2017

The year 2017 continues to strive for simple but effective solutions, for brevity and versatility. At the same time, everyone can add the finishing touches "at their own discretion" - the interior will only benefit from this.

Minimalism and functionality of the interior

In the photo: Kitchen-living room in a modern style

Functionality in modern interior design comes first - no one would argue with this statement. However, this functionality should not just not be at the expense of aesthetics, but, on the contrary, emphasize the aesthetic merits of the interior.

Loft elements in a modern living room

For example, loft elements in the living room design will give the atmosphere a touch of democracy, brutality and modernity. A brick wall can be complemented with modern panels and black and white photos in a retro or modern style.

"Nothing extra" in the bedroom

In the photo: Design project of a bedroom with elements of loft and minimalism

A bed, a couple of bedside tables and lamps - there should be nothing superfluous in the bedroom. Panoramic windows have become a special decoration of the interior, for which an organic loft style with elements of minimalism has been chosen.

Eco-motives and a single space

In the photo: Living room in the style of minimalism with eco-motives

With the development of technology, more and more people began to think about a healthy lifestyle and how to make the surrounding space cleaner and more environmentally friendly. Therefore, all kinds of eco-motives, or eco-design, are in trend today: thanks to green plants and the use of natural materials (wood, stone) in decoration, the interior looks not only cozy, but also stylish.

Abstract panels, elements of avant-garde design

Pictured: Living room in a modern style with avant-garde elements

Not only elements of a loft or eco-style can bring a "fresh stream" to the interior in a modern style. For example, avant-garde trends will be appropriate in apartment design for creative individuals who are open to experimentation and new non-standard solutions.

Light colors in the decoration of the apartment

In the photo: Living room in a modern style in light colors

A lot of light and air - these principles will never go out of style. Light colors in the decoration of walls, ceilings and floors, as well as white furniture create a basis on which, like on a blank sheet of paper, you can place the necessary accents.

Modern bedroom in dark shades

An interior designed entirely in dark shades can look no less impressive. For example, the interior of a bedroom with a panel depicting a night metropolis, made in dark colors with the addition of a contrasting white tone, is a stylish option for a room design for a young man or a married couple.

Neoclassic: a solution for lovers of tradition

In the photo: Neoclassical style in the interior of a one-room apartment

Neoclassicism is a combination of classic design with modern solutions and the desire for a laconic design statement. Beige shades are a win-win coloristic solution that emphasizes the nobility of forms, sophistication of decor and graceful lines.

The main decoration of the bedroom, in addition to the large Parisian windows, is a bed with a large headboard made with a "carriage" screed, wallpaper with a damask pattern, a chandelier with crystal suspensions. The pastel shades chosen for the design of the bedroom give a special lightness to the interior.

Art Deco style in a modern studio

Contemporary eclecticism

In the design of these apartments, the tendencies towards "polyphonic sound", or eclecticism were especially clearly manifested: a fireplace with a laconic portal in the spirit of neoclassicism, armchairs and lamps in the Art Deco style, bright cushions in Japanese style create a very special, unique atmosphere in the living room.

Modern styles of apartment design are varied, and special attention is paid to functionality, which should emphasize the aesthetic merits of the interior.

A small dictionary of traditional styles from our editorial staff

If you are too lazy to read 50 articles on design directions, and you really want to decide on a style, start by going through ours, it has already been passed by 10,000 people. 99% of them say the test really works. Use it for health and live easy!

Comfortable, family friendly, solid - the main thing you need to know about American style. The point is in the layout - Americans prefer houses where only bedrooms and bathrooms are located separately, the rest of the spaces in the house - the kitchen, dining room, living room, corridor - are combined into a single whole. All rooms are as large as possible. Gigantism is reflected in the furniture: huge kitchens, massive sofa groups, high beds, for which a bench can come in handy.

Rooms breathe. Americans clearly zone the space - with the help of furniture, different finishes, arched openings and local lighting, and objects, if we are not talking about textiles, are very few - though they are quite functional.

Empire style is an imperial style, inextricably linked with the personality of Napoleon Bonaparte. The ambitious emperor turned out to be both the ideological inspirer, and the main customer, and the main character of many engravings that adorn immodest premises. The result is the style of the late era of classicism, in which aesthetics dominate over practicality. The empire is characterized by scale, arrogance, pomp and solemnity.

There are many military structures and trophies in the decor of the style: bundles of spears, bunches of arrows, laurel wreaths, torches. Furniture made from expensive natural materials is often decorated with mythical animals: lions, eagles, sphinxes, caryatids. In the decoration of the walls, expensive textiles, brocade, silk are used; gilding of individual interior elements is popular.

Primal and practical today, the English style has evolved over the centuries, changing several times beyond recognition. Modern English is wealthy, comfortable, intelligent. There are a lot of expensive materials in the rooms: noble wood in furniture and decoration, genuine leather, textiles with traditional patterns: stripes, cages, flowers. Mandatory attributes are fireplace and library.

The color scheme is restrained: wood colors, deep green, all shades of burgundy and beige, colors and patterns are combined with each other. In the rooms, much attention is paid to lighting: austere floor lamps and table lamps. The furniture, on the other hand, is round and soft, and is positioned so that it is comfortable both to carry on small talk and to enjoy solitude.

Art Deco is the most geometric style in the interior. It appeared between the two world wars and became a symbol of celebration and desired freedom. At that time, science and industry were actively developing - industrial motives shine through in the style: clear lines, hard angles, perfect symmetry. Geometry is diluted with animal prints, leaves, branches, feathers.

Art Deco is characterized by stepped lighting: sconces and floor lamps unfold in different directions, up and down, objects are often chrome-plated and shiny, furniture is made of metal or lacquered wood. The colors of the style are rich and bold: gold, black, white.

Art Nouveau is a vivid example of European Art Nouveau. The style appeared at the end of the 19th century and became a whole culture: architecture, decor, art and applied arts. Distinctive features - a huge number of undulating asymmetric lines that take the form of natural elements, stained glass windows and mosaics, love for cast iron and iron elements. Most of the furnishings are wood, the palette is warm and muted: mustard, green, woody and earthy tones.

Sources of creativity - windows, doors, stairs - large, decorative, thoroughly decorated. Every detail looks fabulous and romantic.

The Bauhaus occupies a special place in history - it is from this style that interior design ceases to be the prerogative of the rich and begins to work for the good of society. The main principles are: accessibility and conveyor of objects and materials, ergonomics and convenience of daily use, minimalism and geometric shapes.

Representatives of the style often use glass surfaces, plastic, metal elements, wood, leather and dense fabrics. The furniture is modular, easy to fold and change. A lot of attention goes to lighting: spectacular lamps in large numbers help to visually expand the space.

Baroque is a style created to show the power and grandeur of the 17th century church. Lush, massive and emotional, the Baroque is characterized by drama and tension, grandeur and strength. Large, elaborate pieces of furniture, carved ceilings, gold on the frames and walls, magnificent prints, exquisite paintings and sculptures. The main colors are gold, burgundy, noble beige.

About the details: the ceiling is often a continuation of the wall, with a single stucco pattern or decorated with frescoes, on the floor - lacquered parquet or stone. Favorite figures - scrolls, curls, shells. Rich and lush textiles: draperies, pendants, tassels, expensive materials, lambrequins are required on the curtains. Lighting does not lag behind: huge crystal chandeliers, spectacular floor lamps and lamps. The baroque does not know what is "too luxurious".

Boho is one of the most eclectic interior styles. No wonder - from French boho means "gypsy". In short, everything is possible, and the more, the better. Piles of pillows, a wide variety of textiles, unpaired pieces of furniture, vintage lamps, live plants, many contrasting and bright colors.

Boho is about creativity, a style in which you can constantly change and change: creative house, the desire to experiment, express your individuality and enjoy emotions distinguish the owners of such housing. The only condition is that each item must be selected with love.

The essence of brutalism is clear from the name: rough, technological, minimalistic. Pay attention to the beauty of raw materials and materials: concrete walls, exposed brickwork, protruding wires, glass partitions, emphasis on metal structures. The style is not at all interested in color, only in texture, shape, proportions.

Brutalism avoids softness and comfort in the traditional sense, the main principle: functionality and no frills. Furniture almost always stands on legs, with a clear rectangular shape and made from natural materials, often the same color as the space around it. It is good if there are large windows - natural light makes the interior complete.

Versailles as a style in the interior is named after the palace, in which several classical styles are neatly mixed - in particular, classicism and baroque. Today it is the source of inspiration for many architects, designers and artists.

Characteristic features: first-class, expensive materials in decoration, bright colors - lilac, ruby, gold, - elegant furniture on "lion's paws" and curved legs with bright floral prints. A lot of decor: frescoes, bas-reliefs, floral designs, sculptural compositions, lace, draperies, a large number of mirrors in gilded carved frames. No less furniture: sofas, armchairs, poufs, dressing tables, dressers and much more.

The Victorian style combines elements of several design eras: the reign of Queen Victoria is remembered for the fashion for a mix of historical and exotic styles - neo-Gothic and Moorish, neo-rococo and Chinese art, neo-baroque and Indian style. The flourishing of the industry made the style more accessible - mass production made it possible to reduce the cost of items, use cheaper materials.

In such interiors there was no empty space - everything was filled with furniture and decor: in the rooms there was an abundance of ornaments, paintings in massive frames, rich drapery, statues, services - the richer the better. The color scheme depended on the period - in the early Victorian style, interiors were decorated in rich colors of precious stones, in the middle - the colors became more elegant and restrained, in the later - bright, but more vibrant colors returned again. The walls were often decorated with wallpaper with colorful patterns.

Vintage is not exactly an interior style, but rather an approach to organizing space. Vintage interiors are a product of our time, an artificially created atmosphere of the past - as a rule, of the 20th century, preferably no later than 50-60 years ago - with the help of objects that are well preserved and can be used for their intended purpose. To create a comfortable look for a modern person, it is better to turn your attention to vintage furniture and decor, choosing simple retro colors.

Depending on the choice of the period and the degree of its penetration into a modern apartment, completely different images can be obtained. For example, the first half of the last century is about the splendor and luxury of classical styles, and the post-war period is about functionality and simplicity.

The Gothic style came to interiors from architecture at least seven centuries later, in the era of historicism at the end of the 19th century, when Europeans were carried away by buildings in the neo-Gothic style. The Gothic style is characterized by the borrowing of the principles of medieval architecture and the recreation of the spirit of a knight's castle.

The gothic image is not suitable for small apartments - mainly dark colors crush in a small space. If there is not enough light, it is permissible to use white, beige, milky as the main tone. In such interiors, preference is given to natural materials - wood, stone, metals, furniture is decorated with carvings and runners, upholstered with brocade or velvet. To create an atmosphere, use chests, candlesticks, tapestries on medieval themes, mosaics on the windows.

The main feature of the grunge style is the almost complete lack of decoration: brickwork, rough timber, concrete walls, raw beams, stone floor. The furniture, on the other hand, is very elegant, often vintage, although not antique. Aged but modern pieces are fine too.

Decorative elements are rare, mostly practical vintage items are used for decoration: massive forged lamps, woolen blankets, family heirlooms, photos that have faded from time to time. It is important that the grunge style is used mainly for large and spacious rooms with large windows, so the combination of classic furniture and rough walls creates a feeling of lightness and cleanliness.

An architectural style flowing smoothly into design. They joke about deconstructivism in the interior that this is constructivism turned inside out. Indeed, they have something in common: minimalistic interiors without unnecessary details, monochromatic furniture, laconic lighting. But where the similarity ends, the distortion begins: all objects are asymmetric, new forms appear, lines pierce space.

The symbiosis of the interior and architecture of the building is characteristic - deconstructivism loves space because it can be used irrationally and best of all this is helped by the external illogical appearance of the room, in which everything is an experiment.

Like any geographic style, Indian reflects mentality, environmental characteristics and millennia of history. The style is characterized by bright colors in large quantities: all shades of red, burgundy and pink, yellow, gold, orange, brown, various colors of spices. Indians also love patterns: paisley, mandalas, various natural themes.

An important feature is a huge amount of textiles: curtains, sheets, canopies, pillows and carpets. Many accessories: figurines of gods and goddesses, chests, dishes, mirrors, vases, bronze lamps. There are many hand-made craft items in the premises.

The industrial style stood out at the beginning of the last century and took on the most interesting attributes of industrial progress: production elements, protruding pipes and wires, the illusion of a lack of decoration. All rooms are stylized as a factory and it would be nice to find a few parts from real production - use a cleaver as a table, turn pipes and boards into a homemade shelving unit. The rest of the furniture and accessories can be more classic.

The texture of the surfaces is rough, rough, worn, it is good if it is a little rusty in places. That's the whole style - rough, unfinished, unfinished. Industrial.

American country music grew out of early farmhouses. From there, the features: rural flavor, environmental friendliness, huge rooms, open plan, obligatory fireplace. Preference is given to natural materials: clay, stone, wood, the latter is involved in the decoration of the floor, walls and ceilings. A lot of hand-made - wicker baskets, pottery, forged products.

The furniture is simple, solid, massive, it's good if it's left over from the time of my grandmother: old dressers, shabby sofas, vintage chests. The rooms have a lot of textiles of different colors and ornaments - blankets, pillows, rugs, napkins, tablecloths, and so on - which makes the rooms very cozy and homely.

This style has absorbed the entire thousand-year-old Chinese culture - with their oriental mystery, philosophy and practicality. The interiors are simple, the space is organized according to feng shui: there are many screens and partitions, traditional motifs (dragons, sakura, flowers and branches), low and miniature, often lacquered furniture. Items are arranged in pairs or symmetrically.

Each item or color has its own meaning, so you should be careful with your choice. For example, you can choose fans, traditional paintings, paper lanterns, incense sticks, porcelain vases as a decor, and be sure to put mats on the floor. Materials in China are natural, bamboo is especially popular.

Kitsch will suit people with an excellent sense of humor: a maximalist style in which trends, furniture, materials, colors, prints are vividly mixed. Fakes of works of art, trinkets from the market, children's creativity in all its manifestations will go well. For fun, look for the most popular items among most: artificial flowers, figurines from travels, low-quality reproductions.

There are no rules, there is irony. Pseudo luxury and a riot of colors are desirable, but not necessary. The materials are inexpensive: synthetics and plastic, artificial velvet and fur, the main thing is that there are more of them. Carved furniture, vintage, unusual colors and shapes. More is more, as they say.

Classicism is a palace style, a more calm and restrained follower of the Baroque and Rococo. A little less lush luxury, a little more symmetrical elegance and nobility. A big feature: classicism uses antique motifs - columns and arches, fireplaces and tapestries, crystal chandeliers and stucco moldings - everything in the ancient Roman and ancient Greek manner.

The dominant color range is white, beige, light pink and green, blue, some of the furniture is covered with gilding. The latter is made of natural wood, simple geometric shapes, with a calm pattern. The decor is restrained, each item looks dignified and stately.

The classics, which will be discussed, are rather a group of classical styles that appeared in different eras to decorate the castles and palaces of rich people of blue blood. Among them are Empire and Versailles, Classicism and Renaissance, Baroque. Each style is based on natural materials (especially precious woods and stone inserts), elegant furniture with thin legs and moldings on the ceiling.

Classic styles are proportional, the composition is always built around the center (one or more), lamps and accessories are placed symmetrically. The lighting is always luxurious: crystal chandeliers, candlesticks, tall floor lamps on both sides of the same sofa.

Colonial style is a mixture of cultures of great empires and their colonies: when the conquerors moved to another exotic country, they built houses with old taste and new conditions and materials.

The colonial style has several directions: English, American, French, African, Indian ... Each trend is different, but there are several common features - the interweaving of European classics and oriental aesthetics, natural colors with bright accents, the use of exotic decor items and travel attributes: wicker baskets and rattan furniture, African masks, animal skins, maps, globes, an abundance of exotic plants and chests.

Constructivism is a Soviet style of architecture that smoothly flowed into interior design. This is an avant-garde style - its essence boils down to abandoning the previous classical forms with excessive decor and deliberate luxury in favor of rational solutions.

Constructivism is very practical, with strict geometric shapes, adjusted proportions, comfortable dull furniture and a minimum of accessories. The premises need an open layout and huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Everything else should be to the point: a chair is needed to sit at it, a table to dine at. For decoration, you can use bright color accents.

Contemporary means modern. Eclectic interiors that have absorbed the best that modern styles have to offer - minimalism, Scandinavian design, new classics, neo-country, constructivism. The bottom line is simple: it is not so important to follow the letter of the design, how to create a cozy and practical interior, where each object brings joy and can appear spontaneously.

There are no hard and fast rules, except for the use of inexpensive, practical materials, clean lines, and occasional borrowing of iconic design items. The color scheme is neutral, but exceptions are possible here. The only real condition: furniture is selected in such a way as to save space - a closed wall, modular sofas, transforming furniture.

A loft is, first of all, a space. The space of the former factories and factories, which were supplied with minimal amenities and cheaply rented to bohemian youth. The result was huge rooms without partitions with a maximum level of natural light.

Characteristic features: the absence of partitions, brick and concrete finishing, contemporary art as decoration, the presence of industrial elements. Furniture can be different - from vintage and found on the street, and then creatively reworked, to simple, comfortable things of our time, the main thing is that it must be original and bright so as not to get lost against the background of a huge room. In this case, the windows should be as large as possible.

Manga is a style for fans of Japanese comics and anime, the main emphasis in the decor on their favorite characters. At the same time, the design can be of any kind, the main thing is that it gravitates towards Japanese minimalism. Materials and furniture do not matter either, you can choose for every taste. Accents with heroes can be everywhere - graffiti on the wall, comic posters, prints on textiles, pouf.

In order not to overload the space, they prefer to use no more than three bright colors in manga interiors. Although there are exceptions - for example, if one of the fans decided to bring to life the housing of a beloved character exactly like in a comic book.

Refusal of unnecessary decor, comfortable functional furniture of simple geometric shapes, monochrome colors, a large amount of free space ... you know? This is all minimalism. Get rid of unnecessary partitions and unnecessary things, use natural materials (you can leave a rough texture), give up complex structures.

A bit of asceticism: the walls are often white, there are no ornaments at all, accessories can be counted on the fingers (one hand!), The lighting is diffused, the storage systems are invisibly hidden from the eyes. There remains space, a lot of light from the large windows and that very airy lightness for which everything was started.

See Art Nouveau. Today, modern is understood as a group of styles with similar characteristics: art nouveau in France, liberty in Italy, tiffany in America. In its own way, this is a rebellious style, based on the rejection of the classical palace styles, an attempt to create something fundamentally new. The reason was the widespread fatigue of luxury and unnaturalness, and there was a need for a more accessible design.

Features: rejection of symmetry and geometry in favor of flowing plant and sea lines, an abundance of wood, wrought iron bars and stained-glass windows, skillfully decorated furniture, windows, openings and doors. Natural palette - the most common are beige, brown, olive, marsh, grass green and gold.

Nostalgia for the sea in the interior is a combination of white with all shades of blue in all possible variations: from light blue to rich, close to green and purple colors. Favorite pattern - white and blue horizontal stripes, favorite accessories - those related to travel by sea. These can be shells, starfish, steering wheels, and chests. The floor and walls are wooden.

In this style, it is good to use simple, concise objects made from natural materials - wood, twine, rope and sail fabric. There should be as much lighting as possible - therefore, floor-to-ceiling windows, glass partitions and many bright and beautiful lamps and floor lamps in a marine style are desirable.

Neoclassicism in the interior is the luxury of royal palace styles in a modern, slightly more accessible reading. This is idealization and then modernization of the past. Such an interior requires a spacious room with large windows and high ceilings, in which the principles of symmetry and proportionality are important.

The walls are covered with light paint, on the ceiling - stucco molding, on the floor - parquet, possibly a carpet of a calm light shade. Furniture - with graceful legs and a slight reference to the past centuries. Lighting for beauty: multi-level chandeliers, wall sconces, floor lamps with lampshades. And of course the decor! Antique sculptures, classical paintings in gilded frames, porcelain vases.

Pin-up is a retro style that has its origins in the American Great Depression: cheerful girls with curvaceous shapes were designed to cheer up a tired population. Gradually, the principles of a cheerful coquette found application in design: the interiors came out light, bright, mischievous.

To create such an atmosphere, a little white and a lot of candy colors are enough - pink, yellow, tiffany - add various cozy textiles to them, hang up a couple of cheerful posters. The furniture is a little retro - a large and forged vintage bed, a dressing table, cozy round armchairs. The image of the room will be complemented by weightless flying fabrics with simple motifs - polka dots, cages, stripes.

Pop art is art to be bright and shocking. This style randomly mixes colors and different shapes of furniture. Daring and open, the best pop art spaces can compete with galleries - the walls are decorated with graffiti, posters, comics, drawings, installations.

For these purposes, the walls are often initially white - the easier it is to decorate them creatively. Interior accents are set by lighting - art objects must be properly lit in order to attract attention, although sometimes a lamp is a distinctive art object.

Eclectic postmodernism is a style that simultaneously opposes itself to the entire era of modernism and revolts against modern minimalism. Less practical: crooked shelves, empty frames, asymmetrical furniture, bright, flashy colors. For this approach, you need spacious open-plan spaces to get out and about.

The more unusual the better: combine different materials in one item (concrete and wood, for example), put an expensive designer chair next to the sofa from IKEA, find fancy posters. Another good solution is a sharp transition from one zone to another: paint half of the room in a flashy pink color, leave the other completely white. Hooligans and have fun: postmodernism can allow you to.

Provence in the interior is the spirit of warm and cozy country France, surfaces scorched in the sun. Among the main features: a soft palette of pastel colors, faded surfaces, many fresh flowers, the presence of a stove or fireplace. Natural finishes - stone floors, plastered walls, wood accents on the walls and ceiling.

Vintage and artificially aged furniture is in use: dressers, sideboards, wardrobes, cozy sofas and armchairs in huge covers, with lots of pillows. The rooms are full of textiles - napkins, tablecloths, carpets and rugs - the style of a country house suggests an exaggerated understanding of comfort. It remains to say about the things dear to the heart: in such houses there are a lot of little things - vases, figurines, caskets, earthenware, candlesticks and wicker baskets.

Renaissance interiors are the first palace luxury to replace the cold castles of the Middle Ages. Characteristic features of the style: graceful symmetry, wall paintings and fabrics, domed and multi-level ceilings, stone floors, antique sculptures and ornaments on the floor, walls, ceiling, the frequent use of marble, an abundance of columns and pilasters.

Separately, it is worth talking about furniture. There are relatively few items, each is carefully selected in accordance with the role that will be played. All furniture on thin legs, regular geometric shape, decorated with fine carvings, inlay and gilding.

Rococo is a classic interior style: expensive, elegant, refined. He replaced the Baroque, allowing wealthy earls to rest and relax from the lush luxury of their predecessor. The peculiarities of the style include the decorative loading of the interiors, but this time much more attention is paid to personal comfort. The color scheme is very delicate: dusty pink, light blue, pale green, with silver and gilding.

The furniture of this era is incredibly elegant, with thin graceful legs, often carved, decorated with gilding. Stucco on the ceilings, parquet and patterned carpets on the floor. The rooms are decorated with carved mirrors, there are huge chandeliers on the ceiling, candlesticks and candelabra on the walls. Many sculptures and figurines are associated with mythology.

The Romanesque style evokes associations with an old medieval castle or monastery. The main principle is no frills: simplicity of design, large-scale architecture, small windows, powerful columns and dark rooms. A minimum of decor - the main decoration was knightly paraphernalia, as well as stained glass windows, candlesticks and carpets. An important element in every room was a stove or fireplace.

Rough finishes - stone walls and floors, simple and bulky wooden furniture, bronze lamps - that was all the materials that were used at that time. Chests were used literally for everything - both as a wardrobe and as a bench, sometimes even as a bed or table.

Three directions are referred to the Russian style in the interior: a traditional village hut, an elegant tower and the so-called "ala rus". The latter is found in modern interiors and uses details of the Russian past - a stove, traditional ornaments, lace tablecloths and napkins, icons, chests, fringed floor lamps, wall and ceiling paintings, ornate platbands and shutters.

The Russian style is notable for its well-known sincerity and environmental friendliness: only natural materials are used, wood trim and furniture prevail in the interior. Add a samovar or traditional nesting dolls to make it more "Russian".

Rustic is a style of well-to-do village houses, fully furnished with wood. The tree can be perfectly varnished or, which happens much more often, not at all processed: all the knots and irregularities, all the complex texture remain in place, as if the tree was recently cut down in the forest.

In authentic rusticism, all furniture and decoration are made of wood, but in modern interiors it is good to borrow only some of the elements, choosing white plaster for the walls and ceiling. Furniture can be assembled from old planks, pieces of doors, and recycled items. The most important thing is that some of the items can be modern, with the use of high technologies.

Steampunk is a revived book fiction of the past centuries. The style is nostalgic for the Victorian era, while enhancing the industrial pathos. It turns out to be a futuristic Gothic style in which steam engines have taken over the world (but modern technology has not).

How to repeat? Take some Victorian furniture - massive, austere, wood and leather, add more decorations - pipes, valves, gears, chains, pendulums, sensors, and a pinch of traveler's attributes - aircraft diagrams, maps, globes, suitcases, pepper with antiques that era. There is nothing left - hang blackout curtains, place spotlights, and that's it - steampunk is yours!

Modest and beautiful, the Scandinavian style is considered the most democratic interior style. It is not surprising - it was the Scandinavians who were among the first to talk about mass design, thanks to which beautiful and comfortable items became available to ordinary people.

Today, the northern style has become even more minimalistic - its fans adhere to the principles of awareness and durability of design items, preferring things that can bring comfort and survive any trend. Distinctive features: open plan, large spaces with massive windows, wooden accents, cool colors (the main color is white), the presence of mostly practical accessories (exceptions are black and white paintings and posters, as well as mirrors, lamps, glass vases).

Mediterranean style

The common features of several countries lying to the north of the Mediterranean Sea - Italy, Spain, Greece - are collected in the Mediterranean style of the interior. They are united by love for nature and natural materials, fresh and bright colors that imitate the sea, sun, southern plants. Large windows with light curtains, high textured ceilings and white plastered walls help keep the rooms as light as possible.

Wood is often used - beams on the ceiling, massive rustic furniture. There are stone terracotta tiles on the floor, stained-glass windows and mosaics are found in the decor. The choice of patterns depends on the country - in Greece, bright blue and blue monochromatic accents are common, in Italy - calm beige and earth tones, in Spain - exuberant Moroccan motifs.

Finnish design is when there is a large house with huge panoramic windows in a snowy forest, and there is not a soul around! Finns from other Scandinavians got a pronounced practicality and minimalism, simplicity in everything and coziness around, but there is much, much more soulful and warm wood in the interior - on the floor, walls, ceiling and, of course, in furniture!

The tree is diluted with cute things - bright paintings, printed pillows, unusual covers and rugs, rugs, rugs. Finnish furniture is a separate art form: simple, laconic, very practical.

The main feature of the French style is graceful, playful eclecticism. Frenchmen with famous charm mix styles, materials, colors. In one room, vintage and antiques coexist with ultra-modern solutions.

In France, they are not afraid of empty space, and at the same time they love comfort, so in some places the same room looks minimalistic, and in some places it is overly filled with little things: books, candles, photographs, and accessories. The colors are warm, almost always light, the shades gently transition from one to another. Rooms breathe - large windows, high ceilings, elegant furniture with thin legs, open shelves, massive chandeliers.

Functionalism sounds like a utopia - all objects should fulfill their role, be beautiful, cheap and comfortable. Anything that doesn't have a function should be excluded. Aesthetics is secondary, and important only as long as it does not interfere with the subject of the task.

A calm color scheme suits the style - nothing superfluous, and even the colors are orderly and practical. The furniture is geometrically simple, ergonomic, capable of changing and transforming - a sofa bed instead of a bed, sliding tables on wheels, built-in wardrobes. The only thing that is found in abundance is lighting, which, thanks to dimmers and various variations, is able to adapt to the mood and time of day.

Futurism is a style inspired by science fiction. The style is characterized by striving for the maximum possible technical equipment, original forms, pronounced asymmetry. Metals, plastic, concrete and glass are often used in decoration. Upholstered furniture combines leather and metals; wood and plastic are most often used to create the rest.

The lighting is fragmented: throughout the space there are many diode modules built into the walls, furniture, ceiling and even the floor. The decor is discreet: you can afford blinds on the windows, black and white paintings and a huge amount of elegant and ultra-modern technology.

Fusion from English means "fusion" and it is a style in which you do not have to sacrifice your favorite things for the sake of design integrity. Use a neutral light background, add different colors, textures and patterns to it. Don't be afraid of contrasts - modern art beautifully sets off vintage, and a long pile carpet makes a glossy floor even cozier.

In this style, objects are chosen emotionally - complex color schemes are collected in the interior, the rooms do not look completely finished. And it's true - fusion assumes that you will periodically replace some items with others.

High-tech in the interior is still quite young: he came to design from architecture in the 1980s. This style is very practical, the only accessories are technology, that is, gadgets, screens, smart home systems, audio systems and much more.

In minimalistic interiors with a monochrome palette, there is not much furniture, most often it is easy to change and move it: transforming sofas, folding tables. Often there are metal or glass racks in which everything you need is hidden. Great emphasis on lighting: glass or metal lamps, illuminated panels, spotlights, floor lamps with a minimalist design come across.

Shabby chic means “shabby” chic. The wear is evident in classic vintage furniture, antique accessories, a light, airy atmosphere with stucco ceilings and old parquet floors. An elegant, very soulful atmosphere is created with the help of white and light pastel shades, a crystal chandelier, thin airy fabrics.

The rooms have a lot of hand-made and recycled gizmos, a lot of flowers - especially roses and peonies, a lot of statues - most often they are angels and classic worn busts. Light covers are put on the furniture, pillows, blankets, carpets are required.

Contrast or House? Rather eclecticism! Initially, the premises were called eclectic, in which the basic principles of classical trends were mixed. Today eclecticism is everything that cannot be singled out as a specific style.

The eclectic rooms mix old and new objects, Eastern and Western cultures, ethnic rustic and ultra-modern high-tech solutions. Color often becomes the unifying factor, dissimilar objects are collected in a harmonious picture due to the unity of the color scheme. A lot of love goes to accessories - the more there are, the more uniform things seem to be initially incompatible with each other.

Eco style

Eco-style in the interior is a story about true love for nature. The philosophy of a conscious approach to life: careful use of resources, avoiding fur, leather and felling of valuable species of trees, choosing natural, often recycled materials.

Among the latter are wood, vine, bamboo, stone, clay, cotton and linen. The result is a natural natural palette of soft natural colors. Now add green - plants prevail in the decor, in quantities ranging from a few copies to the presence of a home garden and a full-fledged phytowall! There are two types of furniture - deliberately rough, made by hand, as opposed to objects with naturally soft shapes, comfortable for daily use.

Japan has centuries-old traditions and a special philosophy that actively influences the way and structure of space and life. The Japanese are minimalists - the interiors are almost ascetic, the furniture is extremely functional, there are few accessories: a set for a tea ceremony, bamboo lanterns to create diffused lighting, engravings that bring good luck, bonsai trees.

The interiors are monochrome, they contain natural motives and hieroglyphs, materials are exclusively natural. There is little furniture - the Japanese often eat and meditate on the floor, so it is all decorated with mats and tatami (reed mats).

Mid-century modern is distinguished by emphasized functionality, clear lines and the main principle - everything should be as convenient as possible. Colors are of great importance - bright, deep, often natural, often concentratedly industrial. Representatives of the style love to mix textures and materials, pay a lot of attention to lighting and furniture. Many objects created under the auspices of mid-century Art Nouveau have entered the golden classics of design and are still the object of desire of our contemporaries.

The great advantage of the style is that it can be used to create both a retro look and a modern, fresh look.

What exactly do we call "contemporary style" in interior design? Straight lines, clear shapes, a minimum of accessories and decor that is different from the classic ideas of comfort.

As the name suggests, "modern" means "today", the interior is "here and now". In a broader sense, modern style is, first of all, the direct opposite of traditional style.

Homogeneous surfaces instead of reliefs, fabrics with a neutral pattern or none at all instead of patterned prints, a minimum of accessories instead of shelves and art galleries cluttered with trifles. If a modern style does not have the coziness of a classic interior, this does not mean at all that it is unsuitable for life.

Style axioms

Important!
Often non-specialists confuse the concepts of modern and modern style. But these are completely different things. Experts understand modernity as a powerful trend in the decorative and applied arts of the early 20th century. It has been researched in detail and has well-recognized features. Modern decor is free from strict rules and regulations. It also has basic features, but in general it is a very flexible system.

Why does it work: A strong emphasis on lines and shapes (two components of a brilliant design) defines the energy of the style. This is the interior of open spaces, saturated with natural light and air. He does not tolerate confusion and chaos, each element is significant.

You will love this destination if ... In art galleries, you are drawn to the halls of abstract painting. You have several books at home whose title contains the word "minimum". Heavy curtains cause claustrophobia. During your high school years, you were especially good at geometry. Sometimes you want to hide things in tightly closed cabinets and completely paint the rooms white.

What is modern style in the interior?

Design trends, not limited to a rigid set of expressive means, are a kind of antipode to the classics. The style denies her striving for decorativeness, strict adherence to the canons.

It is dominated by the concept of a comfortable and functional habitat, where every detail is logically integrated into the context. The flow is characterized by minimalism. It is realized in focused attention on volumes, pronounced linearity, textures, which creates fertile ground for design experiments.

Beautiful interiors in a modern style are comfortable for life, practicality in operation and aesthetics based on design trends.

Specific traits

1. At the forefront - simplicity and clarity. The main principle is that the form does not overshadow the content. Hence the rejection of the catchy decor, the straightforward design of the furniture.
2. Maximum simplicity equals comfort. A neat finish in a neutral color scheme creates a backdrop where you can equally focus on leisure, socializing or work.
3. The layout strives to create an open space, without complex structural elements, often with panoramic glazing. A common solution is a studio-type interior.
4. The discreet setting is the perfect setting for original accessories, art objects, conceptual art.
5. Artificial and natural materials are equally appropriate here.
6. Modern style is abhorrent to mannerism and intricacy, which can be found, for example, in retro and ethnicity. And when the environment is minimalistic, it is also beneficial from a practical point of view (in terms of time and financial costs for cleaning, furniture maintenance, etc.).
7. The design is readily modified into styles that are similar in concept. Make the upholstery of the sofa look like a zebra hide, dilute the monotonous interior with paintings in silver frames, a couple of abstract sculptures - and you get art deco. Arrange lamps with metal fittings, vases, flasks, decorate furniture facades with shiny inserts, and a wall with an urban photo - and you're ready to techno.

Straightness law

A strict orientation along the coordinate axes and a three-dimensional structure of space, expressed through lines, angles, planes, is the fundamental design principle in contemporary design, from architecture to interior items.

But here, too, there is a place for freedom and creativity: you can diversify the composition by including several smooth lines. Just let it be simple geometric shapes: a circle, a sphere, a cylinder. More intricate designs are the lot of traditional design.

In the interior design of a townhouse, chairs in the dining area play the role of such corrective elements.

Open space as a zoning principle

The layout of modern apartments and houses embodies the idea of ​​open space. This means a minimum of partitions and the ability to use one room at the same time for different tasks: this is how a kitchen-dining room, a living-kitchen, a living-study, a bedroom-living room appear.

The organization of space by means of zoning will not give rise to a feeling of emptiness. Such means are:

• grouping of furniture;
• podiums;
• sliding transparent partitions;
• wall decoration;
• multilevel lamps.

The beautiful interiors of a private house in the Millennium Park settlement are built on a combination of open space and techniques from traditional and modern styles.

Floor, ceiling and walls

A description of the modern style in the interior would be incomplete without a story about decoration.

Wish for the floor covering - to be smooth and monochromatic. For these purposes, laminate, tiles, natural stone, self-leveling floors are suitable. Natural shades are preferred: coffee, nutty, milky, cognac. If it is wood, then light ash, maple, dark wenge are good.

You can refuse a carpet altogether or choose a product with an unusual texture (for example, a worn effect), a geometric pattern.

The task of wall decoration is to create a background on which furniture and accessories will look beneficial. Therefore, the surfaces should be smooth, not distracting with patterns and texture.

Suitable finishing materials: decorative plaster, paint, liquid or vinyl wallpaper. If you make one wall brighter, highlight it with plaster bas-relief, 3D wallpaper, then the room will not look boring and monotonous.

The standard ceiling solution is a smooth white surface. If space permits, they make suspended two-level structures with built-in lamps. The design of the chandeliers and lamps matches the style: made of glass and metal, without decorations.

In an open-plan apartment, the glossy ceiling supports the zoning of the kitchen and recreation areas. The plaster bas-relief highlights the wall.

Furniture with perfect shapes

Modern styles in the interior prefer clean furniture.

• The priority is a clear design and lines, the sofa supports are exposed for everyone to see, and not hidden behind the drapery.
• Upholstered furniture is distinguished by symmetrical proportions, it is convenient and practical to use. Upholstery - woven or leather (made of artificial or natural materials), smooth, monochromatic. Textiles can introduce a couple of bright spots into the design, breaking the monotony of the situation.
• To save space, furniture is made to order from MDF or chipboard. Most often these are transformers: wardrobes, sofa beds, folding tables.
• The minimum set of furniture for the living room is a sofa, armchairs, a coffee table, a wardrobe or a modular system to the width of the wall.
• You can compensate for the excessive straightness of furniture forms with a round table on a disc base, a low sofa.

In a renovated duplex apartment, both seating areas are furnished with sofas with simple design. The carpet in the center of the room maintains the style.

Neutral colors

The main palette of modern design is white, beige, gray, black. It is not necessary to use banal, straightforward colors; you can turn to complex compound shades.
In monochrome, halftones are responsible for expressiveness, as well as textures and volumes that come to the fore. In a contrasting version, the background is painted in white, light brown, light gray, and the furniture is selected dark.

Light interior in modern style - typical format. White is especially popular, which expands the space and makes it easy to perceive. Additional paints and bright objects will help to avoid the effect of facelessness.

Neutral shades of the warm spectrum (eg brown) will logically pick up the motif of natural materials.

When several colors are combined, one should dominate, be as calm as possible in terms of emotional coloring. Especially in the bedroom. And if you want a splash of color, you need a focal point - an accent wall, a colorful accessory, a piece of furniture.

An example of a modern interior style in light colors is the white finish of a country house. Together with panoramic glazing, color helps to embody the idea of ​​an open, clean space.

Decor features

What will fit: posters, large paintings without frames, abstractions, sculptures with streamlined silhouettes, graphics, living plants.

What will not work: eclectic collections of trinkets, floral patterns, textiles with lush draperies.

A few words about the design of window openings. If the window is on the whole wall, it can be left completely open. If you want to hang curtains, the fabric should be evenly dyed, without plant motifs, a geometric pattern, a combination of shiny and matte threads is allowed. The classic method of fastening is suitable - on the eyelets, so the folds are even and uniform. Roman shades, Japanese shades will do. But heavy curtains with lambrequins and tassels, of course, not.

Living room interior in modern style

In terms of planning and decorating solutions, the style is versatile, therefore it is suitable for decorating a living room of any area. Even a compact space can be made comfortable and functional thanks to clear lines, accurate work with composition and shades.

The elegant interiors of the living room in a modern style represent the project of a house in the Crimea. The contrast to the light atmosphere is set by the black frames of the window and arched openings. The fireplace area is highlighted with light yellow onyx, a little further in the kitchen area, a new color accent - chairs with mustard upholstery.

In the project of the interior of a townhouse in the Zapadnaya Dolina residential complex, the living room is solved in a palette of light marble, the cold shine of glossy surfaces is balanced by the rounded outlines of a sofa with armchairs and green plants.

The living room in the stylish white interior of the apartment with bright accents received a pleasant contrast with the graphite color and expressive yellow-green backlit inserts.

Modern kitchen interior

The design of the kitchen is characterized by external laconicism, the work areas are comfortable and spacious, every square centimeter is functional. The dining area is also arranged as ergonomically as possible.

The interior of the kitchen-living room, made in a modern style, meets one of the main principles of the direction - to keep the space open. Thanks to the same techniques in the design of the floor, ceiling, walls, the effect of the visual integrity of both zones is enhanced. The semantic border is the bar counter, dining table, sofa, decorative partition.

The decoration of the modern kitchen from the eco-home project combines rich gray, metallic shades and white gloss of hanging cabinets.

In the project of a cozy interior of an apartment with three rooms, the living room and children's bedrooms are designed in a traditional style, but it was decided to decorate the kitchen with fashionable gloss, original chairs and a furniture set without handles.

After renovation, a large country house received a combined kitchen-living room space. The staircase to the second floor serves as a border and graphic accent.

Modern hallway design

The neatness, semantic and color clarity of the interior of the hallway from the first minutes creates a pleasant impression of the apartment as a whole. Decorations, furnishings, door designs combined with warm lighting are easily perceived as a single composition.

In the design of a small private house, the entrance hall is designed in light gray tones. The marble and wall finishes contrast beautifully with the tinted dark brown wardrobe doors. The poster above the table adds color.

In the design of the townhouse, the decoration of the hallway is as simple as possible and is also decided in contrast.

After renovation, the design of the apartment received a bright entrance hall with a dressing room and shoe cabinets.

Bedroom interior in modern style

Decorating a bedroom in a contemporary design is a balance of practical content and external aesthetics, traditional comfort and minimalistic embodiment.

In the project of a three-bedroom apartment, the interiors of a room in a modern style are presented: each has its own design and mood. The general approach was the use of mirrors and shiny surfaces.

Bathroom interior in modern style

The layout saves a maximum of free space (especially if it is a combined bathroom), even transparent shower partitions work to create an open, clean space. Discreet finishes are the perfect backdrop for high-tech plumbing.

Beautiful bathroom interiors, decorated in a modern style and in other directions, are presented in our gallery. For example, the design of a room in a private house on the seaside. The room has panoramic glazing; inside, mirrored panels are combined with light gray tiles and wood.

Another bathroom, visualized in the cottage design project, is designed in gray tones. Warm hues are brought into the ambience by the brown wood of the grilles and the yellow lighting under the sink.

The stylish white interior of the apartment in Yalta is softened by the bathroom trim in beige and wood shades, as well as living plants on the shelves.

Children's interior in a modern style

The design of a children's room in a modern design is suitable for a child of any age, because the focus here is not on the decoration with lace and flowers (in the case of a girl's bedroom) and not on the colorful decor on the theme of cartoons (for boys), but on the comfort of the young owner.

The modern nursery has a neutral background and a pretty color combination. There is no need to be afraid that such a design will seem boring: in a small child's room, the atmosphere can always be revived with numerous toys, and a teenager will most likely want to independently transform the interior to suit his own needs and interests.

An example of design can be found in the project of a 5-room apartment, where two children are organized.

The first is designed for a teenage boy, it uses a loft theme, a bright print on the wall dilutes the brown-beige palette.

The second one, also for a young man, is made in gray-brown tones with warm sandy shades of the wall panel and yellow lighting of the shelves.

And here is a room for a teenage girl from the project.

The key to creating a truly interesting setting in a room or apartment is to define the dominant style. Let's take a quick look at the main styles of interior design and their characteristics.

Classic Styles

Classic styles come to us from the past. They repeat the setting of a particular era.

Interior design in classic style characterized by clear lines, the use of traditional forms of doorways, windows, columns, arches. It implies a clear proportionality of the form, a careful selection of accessories, the rejection of unnecessary decorative gizmos. The combination of white color with an abundance of gilding and glossy surfaces is characteristic.

Interior design in combines pomp, contrast, abundance of details with a desire to use classic materials and shapes. Characterized by the clarity of lines, the use of expensive materials, as well as the desire to combine reality with illusion in images.

Interior design in implies the abandonment of the classic clear lines and sharp right angles in favor of smoother, curved shapes. In the interior, it is characterized by attention to every thing, the desire to give it an original appearance, an abundance of decor, ornaments. How the style was formed in the late XIX - early XX, therefore, it combines traditional materials: stone, wood - and more modern: metal, glass. Characteristic colors: white, black, gray, gold, burgundy and red - all saturated and contrasting.

Art deco interior design formed as a successor of the Art Nouveau style. It is characterized by a darker color scheme, as well as experiments with a combination of clear, strict forms of the classical style and floral, ethnic ornaments used in Art Nouveau decor. Committed to expensive, luxurious materials such as ivory, genuine leather, semi-precious stones, silver, rare types of wood.

Rustic interior design, it is also called eco-style interior design repeats the peculiarities of the furnishings of the village dwellings of the inhabitants of a particular country. The use of natural materials, natural colors, simple geometric shapes is characteristic. Home-made or imitating accessories, as well as simple-form wooden furniture, are in demand in this style.

Retro style interior design reflects the characteristic features of the chosen era, most often the 50-60s of the twentieth century.

Modern styles were formed in the second half of the twentieth century as a response to the new realities of human life. They have incorporated some features of classical and national styles.

Fusion interior design as eclectic as possible, implies the use of objects from different eras and cultures in one setting.

Loft style interior design formed as a style for apartments converted from industrial buildings. Characteristic features: open brickwork and communications, an abundance of metal, free layout of the apartment.

Interior design in the style of minimalism tends to use the most functional and simple in form things. There are no decorative elements in the interiors.

High-tech interior design What distinguishes minimalism from minimalism is the attention to the use of color accents, as well as the desire to make the home not only as functional as possible, but also high-tech.

Interior design in ethnic style

In addition to these two directions, there is also a huge layer of ethnic styles, when the interior reflects certain features characteristic of a particular country or area. Let's indicate the most popular ones.

Interior design in the English style: dark walls and massive dark wood furniture, fireplace, great attention to textiles.

Provence style interior design: delicate, pastel shades, an abundance of white furniture, wooden carved objects, a wealth of textures and textile elements, special, characteristic ornaments.

Country style interior design: simple wooden furniture, checkered textiles, the use of natural stone for decoration, natural, muted colors.

There are three main stylistic directions. Historical styles are those that emerged in different periods and characterize this or that era, ethnic ones - carry the characteristic features of the culture of an individual people and modern, which reflect new trends and trends in interior art.

The XXI century is a time of mixing tendencies in various spheres of creativity. Stylish trends in interior design coexist, flow into one another, enrich themselves, borrowing features from each other, developing into a rather variegated, but, no doubt, interesting picture. The main characteristics of a modern style in interior design are functionality and constructivism, characteristic of the rational type of thinking of a modern person. Contemporary styles in interior design include:

"High tech"

The full name of the style is translated as "high technology". The high-tech style is characterized by swift, straight lines, an abundance of glass and metal details. Thanks to the modern production of metal structures, it uses structures typical of industrial buildings (metal frames and technical communications, pipes, pipelines, elevators are deliberately displayed).

"Techno"

Aesthetically similar to the high-tech style. This style makes even more use of the achievements of modern technologies. This style is popular in the design of public places (bars, restaurants, clubs and office centers). The "Techno" style interior is suitable for active and modern people who prefer high technology to home comfort.

"Country"

It originated in America at the beginning of the last century. The name translates as "suburb", "countryside". The style is homely and cozy, deliberately focused on the "good old days". Within the framework of this style, eco-friendly materials are used: wood, rough stone, ceramics and complex colors of the natural range.

"Ethnic style"

Most often, ethnicity is understood as the style of Africa, India, Morocco, Indonesia, China. The stylistic features depend on the selected country. Common features include: rich colors, an abundance of national pieces of furniture, accessories and symbols, including handmade items.

"Art Deco"

This style is characterized by rounded corners, strict vertical lines, "receding" shapes. It is distinguished from all styles by the use of decorative elements in the form of zigzags, circles, triangles, suns.

"Minimalism"

The main principle of this style is "nothing more". The space is organized in an extremely laconic, functional way, simple geometric shapes are used, large surfaces are filled with one color. The color scheme can be as simple as monochrome. However, only expensive, high-quality materials are used in the decoration;

"Fusion"

This style is characterized by functionality, clear silhouettes, clarity of forms. Built-in niches and lighting are widely used in interiors. Furniture is characterized by mobility and functionality. The interior design is quite laconic and clear, but not devoid of unpredictability and bright artistic solutions.

"Pop Art"

The term "pop art" is translated as "popular art". "Interior-toy, interior-comic" - this is how this style can be characterized. A piercing pink barbie room, car-shaped furniture and portraits of Marilyn Monroe help to present this kind of interior.

"Loft"

Means "attic". The style was born in the process of adapting old factories, attics and other originally non-residential premises for housing, a layout with a minimum of internal partitions, a combination of a restored floor or old brickwork with ultra-modern household appliances and huge sofas, straight clear shapes, graphic elements.

Ecostyle

Nature is an eternal source of inspiration. Intricate natural motives, expressed in the natural beauty of things and natural textures, fill every detail with a special meaning and bring a special quality to the interior. Eco-luxury is a timeless trend in interior design.

Modern styles reflect the philosophy of the present time in his desire to make life as easy as possible and emphasize the individuality of a person. The main motto of modern styles is functionality, simplicity and ease of use and use. Modern styles in interior design use a free combination of materials: natural wood is adjacent to metal and mirrored surfaces, now and then plastic, vinyl and stone interfere with the interior. It is safe to say that each modern, mature style is aesthetically perfect and attractive in its own way, and there will be a “buyer” for each of them.
