Modern interior and apartment design: what should it be like today?

Time and calmness determine the daily rhythm, and to match it, an appropriate way of life is formed. From the hustle and bustle of the crowd are able to protect the walls of the house, where each of us tries to organize a comfortable home. The soul requires space, a lot of light and peace, as opposed to cramped classrooms and collective communication.

Over the past couple of decades, a completely new design has been formed, and the concept of arranging an apartment is indicated briefly and capaciously: fewer things - more space. Minimalism should not be taken literally, and it is advisable to leave the right for experimentation and creativity in order to bring personality to the design.

Freedom and Creativity

Current trends are successfully changing attitude and taste in interior preferences. As a result, unnecessary things disappeared from city apartments, colors changed, and the household side became practical and functional. The chairs of the times of Kisa Vorobyaninov remained only a fact in history, and colored plastic, metal mobile structures, technological coatings and interesting textures in decoration came to life.

This does not mean that freedom is created by the absence of furniture - its organization is subordinate to order and thoughtfulness. As it turned out, even in the format of small areas, it is permissible to create space due to the compactness of built-in wardrobes and mezzanines, hanging racks, corner shelves, bookcase-columns and folding interior items.

The front room can be separate or combined with the dining room or kitchen. In the presence of modest square meters, it pushes to create studio apartments, and the main functional segments are only conditionally zoned. Podiums, suspended ceilings and compositions on the floor serve to delimit the area.

The use of sliding partitions leads to the rapid transformation of a small room into a spacious room or isolation if necessary. Equipped with an equipped balcony. The corner is suitable for a panoramic view over tea drinking, will solve the problem of placing a dining group, or will become a place for a winter garden.

General trends of modern interiors

The design is dominated by laconic shapes and clear lines. No confusion, piling up, pretentiousness or promiscuous placement. The design of the house is determined by the nuances, and knowledge of the basic rules of the dominant styles, help to compactly organize life.

Its principle comes down to replacing relief and convex planes with smooth ones. The competition in the drawings is the monotony and muffledness of the palette, except for contrasting white and black tones. If in a nutshell - "snowy" walls and a dark smooth floor cite the meaning of a minimalist concept.

Harmony and visual expansion of the space will require a lot of glass and chrome highlights. The problem is solved in two actions. This is equipping the kitchen with decent sanitary ware and utensils containing metal cases, as well as the presence of glass objects in the interior. Household appliances, in support of a given concept, fit into the general group, and is indicated by a white monopoly.

Monochrome patterns on the walls and furniture draw attention to configurations and textures, and bright accents are created to dilute the merging space. Creative touches indicate the preferences of the owners, which is why the design takes on a special sound. They compensate for the lack of useless souvenirs, outdated by time, and the available paraphernalia is limited in quantity and is intended only to maintain the surroundings.

The directional vector relative to a given style is facing the modular interior. When furnishing a room, the concept of an idea should be argued with functional objects and comfort. Housing objects, according to the minimalist idea, adhere to a strict geometry of forms, and are due to a modest amount of detail.

Wardrobes are considered to be irrelevant, and things are sorted into universal items. Drawers and shelves in a capacious wall or "hill" are pertinent. Allocate space for bedside tables in the bedroom equipment and in the living room.

A coffee table and a set of upholstered furniture form the basis of the living room. Typically, a sofa group is designated as point sources - floor lamps or pendant lamps, and its place of localization is distinguished by a carpet. The motives of the flooring and textile upholstery of interior elements can imitate the color of animals, or contain modest prints of floral ornaments, or geometry of shapes. The “leopard skin” thrown to the floor, coinciding with the finish of the sofa, will make an excellent ensemble.

Practical ideas for walls

Vertical planes form space. The general perception depends on their color saturation and texture. If the preference is for wallpaper, take note of a few tips:

for the hallway, duplex textures for painting or vinyl look;
in the living room, textile or non-woven are appropriate;
the bedroom can be glued with the same or classic paper rolls.

According to the invoice, they can be:

silk or rough with relief or embossed print;
with bulge or be layered;
vary in degree of density.

Wall murals are identified with the banal landscapes that have sunk along with the era. Today, wall decoration with modern counterparts with a volumetric effect is a tool for unique design and solving the issue of arranging a room

If something did not suit you in the assortment of wallpapers, embody your imagination with paint. Among the proposed textures and decorative nuances there is always the right version. It is not difficult to get the effect of metallic, transparent mother of pearl, changing the tone depending on the flow of light or a chameleon. Using a spray gun, it is permissible to obtain a mosaic due to solid particles, texture of velor and other materials. The world of colors is diverse, and any thoughtful option will provide beauty and practicality for years.

Do you like colorful shades? So what’s the matter: paint one of the walls with a radiant tint, and slide a soft set or dining group to it. And it is not necessary to combine a small area with intense color - this is not the best option for modest apartments. Do the opposite: slide the furniture with your favorite color against the white wall. Stylish and relevant! The energy of red will add dynamism and dilute the one-faced boredom of neutral walls.

Gray is considered a universal solution for design with the exact hit in the "bullseye". It is organic for any style and tint combinations, and focuses on minor details. In the prevalence of white and in combination with a wooden floor board, color harmony will bring warmth to the room

Beige and blue tones will enchant with evening glare and contribute to deep relaxation. A room with beige and brown colors will look relevant and natural. The main thing is to observe the proportions of color so that the room does not become gloomy.

Under the light of the lamps

Lamps create an additional effect, and complicate the game of colors with glare. There are many variations on the theme of lighting: pendant, recessed or wall types. Here it is important to subordinate functionality to the style of each room, and to avoid universality in the approach.

If the listed species are familiar in principle, then not everyone may have encountered the lighting track and its decorative features. It is ranked as a suspended structure, and stands out in its original form. It is represented by spiral garlands and a smoothly curved curve. Ultramodern versions - LED light and spots. Of course, chandeliers are always in favor and are by no means a boring classic. Luxurious crystal or Murano glass is in demand for any style.

Of particular importance is the hidden lighting when the stream penetrates from nowhere, and miraculously combines with open to the eye lamps. An interesting option with pouring light in a separate niche or on a specific wall. Test the options yourself. Get clip lights and light bulbs in different colors. From the placement of the source and the direction of flow, the interior will change before our eyes.

Decorative moments

The principle of decoration is built according to the size of the apartment and the materials used. In order to smooth out the perception of a small space, one should prefer amorphous forms of large elements. At the peak are metal accessories. The design is dominated by the scale of objects and their solidity, and the emphasis is placed noticeable "strokes" on an open background. Decided to get a tender violet on the windowsill? Then it is better to purchase a couple of pots or any adult plant in a tub at once. If the vase is floor large or 2 medium in a duet.

Canvas is a textured material with great capabilities. The captured picture is able to reflect the plot with high color accuracy. The fashionable photo printing technique will allow you to duplicate a reproduction on the canvas or display the faces of people. Wall decoration is not at all the prerogative of classic interiors and the nuances in the decor are due only to the frame. Luxurious baguettes are a symbol of conservative classics, when minimalism prefers modesty of decor and imitation of bordering structures.

If you like bright walls and abstraction, then this style is for you. Medium-sized paintings or posters are enclosed in the same type of frame, and are grouped as a collage or hung in proportion to the parameters. It is desirable to place large works in a niche, and to support the beauty of painting with illumination.

Use textiles for decoration. Little things are always ready to diversify the impression and bring newness. Soft fabric will add coziness and make the energy of the house warm. Throw colorful pillows on the sofa, for the bathroom, get a colorful group of rugs and towels, make the bed with the corresponding bright linen.

If you decide that your design on the project coincides with the neighboring one - put an electric fireplace and the living room will look like a front room. Not cheap, but beautiful and functional.

In life, everything is so changeable and can not adhere to fashion, and equip the house according to personal needs? Indeed, accepting a fashionable theory as a guide to actions strictly on points, there is a great risk of losing individuality, the desire to experiment and get stuck in a familiar reality.
