Design: Barlow & Barlow Design
Wall decoration must first of all be neat. It can be smooth wallpaper, and coverings with laconic patterns: stripes, monograms and other decorations. The ceiling, as a rule, is decorated, but if you do not like to weigh it down or in your house very much, it is worth treating the stucco molding and decor carefully, it is better to leave it smooth. The floor is usually wooden. Of course, natural parquet looks better, but if you want to save money, you can find a worthy replacement among budget laminate manufacturers.
Choose pastel colors to make the room look majestic; beige, ivory and white will do just fine. The latter is often used as the main one, for example, in the color of the walls, and details are also distinguished with its help: furniture, textiles, decor. Bright shades will help to complete the interior: you can use red, cyan, blue, purple and other "rich" colors.
Furniture should be massive, with textile or leather upholstery. It is desirable from wood, but this will require a large budget, you can choose something more affordable from artificial material.

The "scandi" style, as its fans call it, came into fashion quite recently, but, it seems, for a long time. always minimalistic and budgetary, but at the same time homely and warm. The style is quite versatile, there are no specific details, but there are many elements that will create comfort and coziness: light walls, minimalistic upholstered furniture, green plants, textiles and useful but beautiful decor.
Design: Ahre Fastighetsbyrå
It is functionality that is reflected in the Scandinavian style. Suffice it to recall the words of the Finnish designer Alvaro Aalto that the architect should make life more convenient - this is the definition applied to the scandi interior.
Another distinguishing feature of this trend is naturalness. Best of all, if the room has furniture made of real wood, textiles are made of linen, cotton or silk. Replace lifeless plastic chairs with wooden ones, even if you own one: rough, rough wood can be an interesting part of your scandi room.
Despite the minimalism, each interior should be individual, family photographs, hand-made accessories, posters on the walls bring this property. It is important that it is not "decor for the sake of decor", but a useful thing that reflects the character of the owners.
Despite the fact that light colors should prevail in the Scandinavian style - white, light gray and pale blue - can add life to the interior.
3 Loft
It is distinguished by extraordinary personalities, somewhat ascetics, lovers of freedom and space. It is in this direction that the individual traits of the owner can be emphasized, since the characteristic negligence of the style makes it possible to roam fantasy.
Despite the fact that usually a loft requires space, today it is created in city apartments as well. It is desirable that the room is not the smallest and with a sufficiently high ceiling. Often, duplex apartments in new buildings are decorated in the loft style.

For a loft, the less finishing the better. Ceilings and walls can be simply plastered to match ordinary gray concrete. Also, this style loves brick - use a decorative material, but it is better for one of the walls. Often the walls in such rooms are decorated with road signs or a basketball hoop - this is done to create the feeling of an external wall, raw and careless. Ventilation and pipes are also not hidden, but put on display, turning them into decorative elements.
In such interiors, you do not need a lot of furniture, because the main decoration is free space. Often furniture is also a subject for zoning. For example, a bookcase can be used as a partition between a bedroom and a kitchen, and a bar counter can be used as a partition between a kitchen and a living room.
4 Contemporary style
Contemporary is simplicity, restraint and functionality. Due to the fact that artificial materials and simple shapes are used in the interiors of such rooms, it can be created with a small budget.
Correct placement of furniture and the absence of unnecessary details distinguish this style, for example, from country or grandiose classics.
Design: Elizabeth Krueger Design
Contemporary style "loves" restrained colors (light beige, milky, gray and white) and modern materials. The floor can be finished with laminate or plain carpet.
Furniture - only functional and simple forms. It should be comfortable and fit into the space, not create a feeling of clutter and not look too massive.
Don't forget about accessories, as they add life to the interior. You can use contrasting shades, but in moderation. Choose beautiful flower vases, hang a few pictures - you can limit yourself to this.

Choose one different piece that will be in a different style: for example, chairs for a dining group or a chandelier.
Combine objects in shape. This will make it easier to combine different styles with each other.

It seems to many to be ascetic, but this does not negate its comfort and originality.
One of the criteria for the success of the Mediterranean style is the right finish. The simpler the better, this rule dictates the style. And it is advisable to choose natural materials. Perhaps the most typical wall solution would be light colored decorative plaster. Wood or tiles are usually placed on the floor (if it is a kitchen or hallway). Carpets will not fit into such an interior, unless they are small mats.
The choice of color in a Mediterranean-style room must be taken seriously. Pastel shades and pure white are desirable. Designers distinguish several approaches: Greek and Italian. In the first case, they often play on contrasts, diluting white with bright accessories. Complementary colors should be natural: green, brown, blue or light blue, lavender and the like. The Italian approach is characterized by smoothness and monochrome, often using brown in the base and complementing it with olive, gray or pale yellow.
Wood is one of the main materials of the Mediterranean style. Stylish furniture of regular shapes without pretentious carving is very suitable for such an interior.
Textiles will help to add luxury to an ascetic room, especially a bedroom: pillows, sheets, bedspreads, embroidered with shiny threads or beads. The room will look charming and stylish.
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 decorative and applied art of the early 20th century. It has been studied in detail and has well-recognizable 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 catchy decor, straightforward furniture design.
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 skin, 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 the 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. Especially popular is white, 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 accented 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 colored, without plant motifs, a geometric pattern, a combination of shiny and matte threads is allowed. The classic way 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.

What is most important when drawing up an interior description? Don't forget the small details! It is they who not only complement, but also help bring it to its logical conclusion. The artistic description of the interior helps the reader to imagine the room as if he sees it in front of him. It is important not only to pay attention to decoration, furnishings, colors, but also to details such as a chandelier, draperies of windows and doors, paintings.

As you know, the most popular styles at the present time are modern, classicism, hi-tech, provence and others. They all have their own unique characteristics and traits. During the design of any of them, it is necessary to pay attention to even the smallest details, because with a slight violation of the concept, the result can be unpredictable.
This article will describe interiors decorated in various styles. Design features, characteristic features, advice on choosing furniture and many other important points are indicated. However, first, let's look at exactly what criteria must be voiced when compiling a description of the interior.
Description plan
Information that is divided into sub-items is much easier for the reader to perceive. It is fair to say that the theme "Interior Styles" brings together many different moments. Which ones will be discussed in this article? In order to answer this question, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the plan.
- The layout of the room. In order to compose a complete description of the interior, it is imperative to talk about its size, location of windows and doors, layout and other features.

Art Nouveau interior
Various styles are currently used in the interior. Their description consists in the main features and characteristic features. For example, let's look at a design trend that is in line with current trends - modern. What points should you pay attention to when decorating a room in this style?
Modern is a godsend for owners of both large apartments and houses, and small ones. It looks equally amazing in different squares. What are the characteristic features of it?

Art Nouveau interior design means creating a vibrant and vibrant space. You can use finishes in red, black, green. However, don't forget to create a neutral foundation. It is necessary for the harmonious combination of all available colors. For the background, gray, beige, white colors are most often selected. As for the ornaments, the preference is given to plant motifs, for example, weaving lianas. They have smooth, winding lines, which favorably emphasize the peculiarity of modernity. You can repeat this pattern not only in the decoration of the main surfaces, but also on furniture, paintings, forged products.
The most preferred material is wood. There should be plenty of it. It is also recommended to use curbs, stucco or ceiling frieze. Currently, modern materials allow you to create various ornaments without using the complex plaster technique. It was replaced by polymer structures.
There is a wide choice for wall or ceiling decoration. It can be wallpaper depicting nature, paint, brickwork, ceramic tiles. If possible, it is better to abandon the corners, rounding the room as much as possible.
In furniture, it is also recommended to choose designs with smooth lines. For example, a round table, armchairs with winding legs, poufs. Leather is the best option for upholstery. Do not give up cabinet furniture. With its help, you can create beautiful walls that will delight the owners not only with modern design, but also with spaciousness. Options with glass or mirrors look great in the Art Nouveau style. They are especially relevant in small rooms, as they fill them with light and make the space light.
Final features of Art Nouveau
So, the description of the Art Nouveau interior is coming to an end. And in order to put the final point, you need to talk about the decor. This design direction is characterized by vegetation, and you can use both live plants and artificial ones. To decorate the walls, paintings made in a modern genre, photographs are suitable. For lighting, original chandeliers, sconces and floor lamps are selected. Instances with simple lampshades look great, but with long curved legs in the shape of a semicircle. On the ceiling, you can hang several chandeliers in one row or create an unusual composition. For draping windows, it is recommended to completely abandon heavy ones.A light transparent tulle will be an ideal option. If necessary, you can use thick curtains, but of a simple style.
How to decorate a room in the classicism style?
Which design trend never goes out of style? Classicism! It harmoniously combines splendor, sophistication, restraint and monumentality. This style can be fully recreated only in large rooms. Huge areas, high ceilings, double-leaf doorways, fireplaces, marble staircases - these are exactly the requirements for this direction. As a rule, only partial decoration is used in a standard apartment, but such splendor can be allowed in a private house.
The finishing of the main surfaces should be rich. Even the use of animal skins, tapestries is allowed. If possible, you can build a ceiling in the form of vaults. Coffered options and wooden beams are also suitable. The interior is dominated only by natural unsaturated tones, such as beige, brown, emerald.
The furniture is characterized by massive table tops and legs, carved backs. A sideboard, a secretaire, a sideboard made of natural wood will look great in the room. The drapery of the windows is a work of art. Massive lambrequins trimmed with gilded fringe, tassels, twisted cords.
A large crystal chandelier should flaunt on the ceiling. Candelabra made of iron can be installed in the room. The walls are decorated with paintings on canvas, portraits in massive gilded frames. Bronze figurines will complement the interior. If possible, columns and arches are also installed.
The main features of classicism

Young dynamic people living in the high-tech world choose high-tech style for decorating their living quarters. It differs significantly from the ones described above. The main focus of this space is technology. The rest of the components are only an addition.
The description should begin with the dimensions of the room. They can be different. The only requirement for this stylistic direction is a lot of light and space. There should be lightness in such a room. This is done by minimizing the number of pieces of furniture. Preference is given only to the most necessary things - a sofa, a bed, a table. Their construction and design are only modern.
The color scheme is light - beige, gray, white. One bright accent is allowed. As a rule, this is a painting in the genre of abstraction. All the main positions are occupied by technology - TV, music center, home theater, etc. Chandeliers and other lamps are selected in small sizes. There should be a minimum of decor elements.
