From the life of a big city, we return to the quiet and peaceful world of our apartment, where everything ... is fed up! If you have such thoughts, it's time to do repairs and radically change the style of your home. And finally make the interior the way you see it in your dreams, so that again and again you come back and feel comfort and pacification. To do this, you need to imagine how different style solutions look. Recently, more and more popularity in modern interior design has been purchasing modern-style housing.
History of the origin of the Art Nouveau style
The interior of the apartment in the Art Nouveau style takes us to the 19th century, when florid ornaments and flowing, flexible outlines began to appear in the decoration. This style had different names in different countries, but its common features were unchanged. And although in the 21st century, modernity began to acquire new interesting outlines, nevertheless, this style remained completely denied geometry and angles, smooth lines, multi-level forms and asymmetry. Modernity bears its owner primarily simplicity and functionality, but does not deprive its decorativeness. This style is a bizarre combination of the designer's fantasy with plant and animal forms, embodied in modern materials and colors.
Furniture
But if we talk about the specific use of modernity, then the furniture in this style, although it can have a rectangular shape, but must contain decorative elements or accessories made in the form of bizarre branches, bodies of insects and animals, skillfully intertwined, and various inserts of matte glass or stained glass. These elements are used in the design of upholstered furniture, cabinets, chairs. Perhaps the main direction that should guide the design of an apartment in the Art Nouveau style is the imitation of natural forms. This style is very easy to combine with different materials - wood, iron, plastic. Here, forged gratings with animal-floral ornamentation, and stained-glass windows with an abstract pattern, and walls draped with fabric are also appropriate. Thanks to this, the Art Nouveau style opens up truly limitless possibilities! The use of strong forged elements creates a feeling of airiness and lightness, while not reducing their strength.
Room Layout
If you design your apartment interior in this style, then at your disposal is almost free planning rooms. You can expand the windows and doors, make multi-level floor and ceiling, supply them with asymmetrical lines, smoothly flowing one into the other. In general, great importance is attached to the layout of window and door openings, stairs, arches. When decorating walls and ceilings, plaster molding is used. Mirrors are placed in massive wooden frames with bizarre carving and shape. For the kitchen or the living room use round solid tables and chairs with arched legs.
Windows and floor design
Interior style in the design of windows - a preference for light curtains pastel colors, whereas in the upholstery of the walls you can allow some color and variegated color patterns. To decorate the walls, use wallpaper (mostly with a rich texture), and fabric, and modern types of decorative plaster. As other decorative elements for the interior of this style, bronze and marble figurines, candlesticks, chandeliers with floral ornaments are suitable.
It is preferable for the floor to use wood, if it is a parquet, then its laying is done with various patterns reminiscent of the weaving of branches or the movement of waves on the seashore.
When using ceramic tiles or tiles for bathrooms and fireplaces, or when laying a curb, preference is given to those samples in which any classical or geometric patterns have a rounded shape.
Color spectrum
In general, the Art Nouveau style is a synthesis of various cultures and arts. That is why this value is given to the color and texture of the materials used, the fluidity of the molds and their transitions from one to the other, forged elements and stained-glass windows.
Given the thrust of this style to everything natural, when designing such interiors a certain color scale is used. In order not to distract the eye from the perception of smooth lines, it is tender and muffled, and it is, first of all, green, more often its shades and semitones. You can also use all the natural colors - withered roses, violets, pearls, gray, purple, and the colors of autumn characteristic for a later period: beige, brown, gold. But the color scheme should in no case be bright, this style prefers a slightly "smoky" atmosphere of color, which gives it a unique feeling of appeasement.
The approach to the design of an apartment in the Art Nouveau style must be complete, each room should have a connection with the previous one and support the idea of non-geometric space. Even ordinary at first glance, the ceiling or the wall in this case is not just functional blocks, but interrelated decorative elements. Their lines are always curved, smooth, resembling a wave.
