We all dream that our apartment looks modern. That's just how to understand the many directions and not become a blind victim of the interior fashion? About what are the current trends in interior design, and will be discussed below.
IT'S MORE FASHIONABLE!
Palace of Madame Pompadour
Heavy curtains with "bells and whistles", baldachin above the bed, an abundance of silk and satin, a huge crystal chandelier and other signs of historical style ... - all this is much more appropriate in the theater than in the living space.
The castle of Scheherazade
When designers recommend the use of Oriental or Moroccan style, this does not mean that you need to hang the whole apartment with variegated carpets and silks: several forged items, one rug and a fragment of a wall with variegated tiles will create the necessary entourage.
Zen House
Do not seriously engage in feng shui, as well as other Far Eastern things. Take from the Japanese house the best: translucent sliding partitions and decorative paper lanterns.
Disneyland
Probably, the life of those who make out an apartment in a style called pop art or Disneyland is very dreary. If your apartment is decorated with glamorous posters of Hollywood stars, kitsch lamps in the form of Batman and Shrek, domestic fountains of artificial moss and plastic gnomes, this is an excuse to sound the alarm ... So at least psychologists believe.
Color Chaos
Colorful, bright, beating in the eye of the video series is one of the main requirements for a good TV show. But you can not say about a residential apartment. Do not believe that bold tones will make your life brighter and more fun. You can arrange accents with the help of accessories: use the living fruit in the interior.
Receiving space expansion
It would seem that if the room is small or narrow, everything is elementary: enter more mirrors in the interior - and it will expand ... Perhaps, today it is the simplest and most popular way to feel like a real designer. However, psychologists are already tired of saying: in a mirror space it is harmful and tiring to live! And you can create the illusion of space in other ways: for example, using a picture on the floor (lay a parquet across or a tile along the diagonal), painting walls and ceiling or using different levels of ceiling and floor (suspended ceilings and podiums).
Interiors "for designers"
Some interiors after the intervention of the designer (not important, amateur or professional) look as if they were made not for life, but for a magazine picture ...
Apartment-Hotel
Sometimes customers of designers exclaim exclaimed when they see their new interior: "Well, it's not a room, but a hotel!" They do not know that for a professional this is a very doubtful compliment. It is believed that a cold, too "licked" and "combed" space not only kills the home atmosphere, but also subconsciously presses on the psyche. Designer interior should not be a ready and completed work of art: you will live in this space and fill it with new details. In addition, it must necessarily reflect the individuality of the owners of the house, and not the designer himself.
In the style of "cafe"
The same trouble is obtained with the trendy modern style of "cafe". Carefully recreating the atmosphere in the kitchen catering (bar counter, the same cup, high swivel chairs), we forget that the cafe and so anywhere from us "will not run away." But to lose your home and his spirit is much more offensive and sad.
"A very smart house"
This danger lies in wait for the fans of high-tech and various versions of the "Smart House". The abundance of technology can have an overwhelming and mechanistic effect on the subconscious: the metal entourage from wildlife is too far away. Modern trends dictate their rules - such interiors should be actively revitalized with the help of plants and objects in ecological style (wicker furniture and baskets).
PLANNING: THE CELEBRATION OF MINIMALISM
A simple and concise interior with a minimum of furniture and accessories is still considered an ideal basis for all other interior styles. The tendency to "open space", that is, the creation of a single room with a minimal number of walls and functional zoning with the help of other methods (screens, light mobile partitions, shelves, contrasts of color and texture, etc.) does not lose its positions. Of course, you should not get too carried away with this method: sometimes it's more important to consider the interests of privacy than to turn an apartment into a studio.
MATERIALS: NATURE AGAINST SYNTHETICS
Tree
Especially relevant wood with a pronounced beautiful structure - dark wood.
Glass
This is one of the main modern materials from which all are made (tables, chairs, cabinets, doors, partitions and even stairs). Very fashionable frosted glass, as well as glass, processed by sandblasting method.
Eclecticism
It is very modern to combine materials with different texture: leather with textiles, wood with stone and plastic. Various mosaics and inlays are popular.
Minimum of furniture!
It is better if the furniture in the room is at a minimum, and it should be small and comfortable. Relevant open surfaces: racks, shelves and shelves.
Transformers
Reduce the amount of furniture can be using furniture transformers and models with several functions. In honor, folding and folding beds, sofas, equipped with tables, shelves and built-in lamps, etc.
Elimination of confusion: baskets and containers
It is fashionable in an open cabinet to keep on the shelves of smart boxes, plastic containers and baskets. Thanks to them, you can keep your things in order, and also protect them from ubiquitous dust.
Hand-made and low-tech
If the word "hand-meyde" is heard (in English - "man-made"), then the term "low-tech" is still rare. By analogy with hi-tech (that is, high-tech style) low-tech, on the contrary, means "low technology". This style implies that the owner does the interior with his own hands - unprofessional, but with a soul. This is a modern trend in interior design. Today in the fashion any self-made things: starting from the framework for photographs and clay pots and ending with author's furniture. Here is just a partial list of fashionable creative activities, the fruits of which can be decorated your interior:
♦ Composition of fresh and dried plants;
♦ a mosaic of sea shells and stones;
♦ author (and especially children's) drawings in good frames;
♦ enlarged and beautifully decorated photos made by you or ordered from them prints (especially actual flowers in the whole wall and even creeping from the ceiling to the wall and from one wall to another);
♦ objects of "everyday art": collages of small gizmos, preserved in your family (antique buttons and pieces of fabrics, beads and toys, combs and curlers, unpaired earrings and torn bracelets);
♦ homemade chairs and stools, knitted carpets and cloaks on the sofas, quilts and curtains glued from colored paper containers.
INCONSULT, WHY:
♦ paint the walls of an already small room in a dark color, assuring that in fact it does not at all reduce the space;
♦ with one stroke of the designer's pen to free the room from furniture so that there is nowhere to put things;
♦ make a terribly expensive, covered with a special varnish wooden floor in the bathroom;
♦ arrange a canopy over the bed in a 10-meter bedroom;
♦ use wild combinations of colors under the pretext that it is original;
♦ hang in the bathroom or toilet waterproof paintings in the frames;
♦ wrap all books in the library in the same paper or pour all the tonic, lotion and gels in the bathroom into special glass bottles.
CHECK, IS THERE IN YOUR HOME:
Photos and drawings
Especially in fashion black and white photographs in silver or gold metal frames. To the olonial exotica
Exotic gizmos and pieces of furniture (from China, India, Egypt or Africa).
Antiques
In a small amount, they will create a family atmosphere in your room.
Plants as decor
Home plants have never gone out of fashion, but today their presence in the apartment in the form of a "living corner" is necessary.
