You have chosen a bright wall decoration, laminate or parquet laminated on the floor, and it seems that there is nothing tasteless in the interior. But the style is not felt. We asked Evgeny Ivlya, Anna Leontiev and Alexander Dashkevich about how to get out of this situation.
1 Think about non-standard staining of walls
If you have a ready-made interior, this option is likely to seem too large. But if you are ready for alterations, and the walls are already painted, you can even repaint them with your own hands.
"Colored geometric shapes on an emphasis wall with partial use of neighboring walls, ceiling and plinths will create a feeling of presence in your room of the real object of art and add the volume of the room," says Designer Anna Leontiev.
2 Use contrasts
The pros often use contrasting solutions in their projects and recommend how to do it.
"Play halftons. If the walls and the floor are light, need dark furniture. Thanks to the correct distribution of dark and light tones in the room, you can visually change its proportions. This also applies to color. Dilute the neutral gamut with bright or pastel colors. Afraid to paint the walls in a bright color - stop on juicy shades in furniture or decor. Pillows, vases, curtains or paintings - experimenting with these details, you can change the interior design without repair, "says designer Evgenia Ivlya.
3 Add relief walls
Smooth walls are good as background. But if they are not supplemented with a decor, the interior is most likely to be faceless.Designer Anna Leontiev:
The easiest way is to glue moldings. The option is more complicated, but even more effectively - panels made of plaster, volume wallpaper or flexible stone.
4 Play with nuances
The nuance combination rule allows you to dilute the interior with interesting textures in the decoration and play with flowers in monochrome. It's a little more difficult with textures, it is worth thinking about it even when repairing and, for example, if you chose the interior predominantly in one color, add textured finishing materials to it: brick, wood. But with flowers you can play, decorating the interior.
Here, for example, that Evgenia Ivlya recommends: "In one room, you can combine various shades of the same color. It is very convenient not to suffer with the selection of the desired shade. But it is important here that close colors be near was at least five. Nearby nuance combinations visually combine all in one color. And it looks like this, very spectacular and stylish. "
5 Mix multiple styles
The interiors, designed in one style, can be found extremely rare, competent eclectics really looks very profitable. But it is important to choose the right proportions and combine stylistic techniques correctly.Designer Evgenia Ivlya:
Mixing everything in a row, good effect will not work. If you want to make mix styles, then 3/4 must be mainly stylistic direction, and 1/4 from another. For example, in the classic interior you can make a wall of loft brick wall and add one rough table from a rigous tree. It will be stylish and not so boring as just a classic.
6 Discard the sets of decor and furniture
Furniture sets have long left the design interiors. Anna Leontieva recommends choosing diverse furniture and decor: "For example, in the bedroom you can put different items from two sides of the bed: a bedside end on one side, and a table on the other. For a dining group in the kitchen, choose a couple of chairs of the same color, and another pair - on the contrast with them. The sofa should have several identical pillows, which will define rhythm, and at least one contrast. "
7 Add style with expressive furniture
For example, vintage. Or unusual design.Architect Alexander Dashkevich:
An excellent element that emphasizes the feature of the interior and expressive to him may become the subject of furniture, for example, a vintage chair, restored and upholstered with an interesting fabric. Or a coffee table of an unusual design or, for example, a bar table on wheels. Its objects may be a little - one or two, but they should be really expressive, unusual.
8 Arrange the accents
In the interior it is important to allocate the main and secondary. The main thing will attract attention and will perform an emphasis, and the secondary - background. Then the harmonious impression and the interior will acquire a style.
Designer Evgenia Ivlya:
Choose something important than be proud and what you want to attract attention. It can be a piece of furniture - armchair, TV zone, a bed with headboard, or a decorative element - a large picture on the wall or panel, a carpet on the floor, portal, or fireplace, chandelier and even doors. It is the emphasis that will become the most important part of the premises and asks for material investments. But thanks to this, the rest of the interior may be the most common.
9 Use copyright and art objects
"One statuette made with taste can" make "the whole interior of the room," the designer Anna Leontiev is sure.
The author can be not only furniture, but also the decor: a picture, a vase, an embroidered pillow, Cachepo and even painting on the wall. "The manual author's work is seen immediately, and it instantly raises your interior to the level of the art connoisseur," says Anna.
Architect Alexander Dashkevich adds: "To give the interior of individuality and uniqueness it is best to use art. It is it that will make your interior that is your recognizable, unique. Picture, sculpture, decorative panel - any unique item created by a person will immediately revive the space. Of course, it is necessary to approach the choice of art. Especially if the budget is limited. However, there are many excellent galleries that offer work not very well-known authors, but at the same time worthy and not very expensive. "
10 Do not forget about the pictures and posters
It is advisable to abandon the template posters with the lettering and sinking pictures. Try search of author's work in galleries or to order by artists.Designer Anna Leontiev:
The pictures are given not only aesthetic sensations, they are needed for practical considerations - at the level of the eye there are often empty walls: above the bed, chest, in the corridor, and you can also use them.
11 Add indoor plants
Take the room plant, if before that you did not have experience in flower growing, not so simple. At least because you have to take care of the care of it. But the greens exactly exactly transforms the interior. In addition, this method is quite budgetary.
Architect Alexander Dashkevich:
Indoor plants are able to transform the atmosphere of relatively calm interior into something unique. To this end, it is better to choose a large interior plant - ficus, palm tree, monster, dragerate, citrus tree, etc. The plant in itself will become an expressive accent, but the interior will look more advantageous.
12 Choose unusual lamps
Light changes the feeling from the interior. And the main thing is that excess light almost never happens, but its drawback is a frequent error.
"A wonderful way to change the feeling from the interior is the lamps - floor lamps and table lamps. With them practical impossible to overdo it. Low light creates a comfort and a relaxed atmosphere in the evening. And choosing a flooring or lamp of interesting design, you can again make individuality in the interior, "says Alexander Dashkevich.
13 Add emotions and mood
Even the most stylish and competent repair from the point of view of designs and ergonomics may seem uncomfortable and cold, if not to dilute it with emotion and mood - Evgenia Ivlyeva believes.
"The mood in the interior is created by our emotion to which all the laws of design are adjusted. For example, I want at home the mood of sunny italy. And so, we have images in front of our eyes: juicy colors on the background of blue sky, vineyards, covered verandas, coarse wooden boards on the floor. Physically it will not work all this in the room 12 square meters. m, but we can pass the mood and emotion. Floors are made from a textured golden or dark wood (parquet, an array or engineering board), the walls are painted with textured milk or white shade plaster, hang curtains of heavenly blue color on the windows, add greens. And if you put the decor brought from travel: vases, plates, they will fit perfectly in the interior. And so you can beat any image or mood, "the designer shares.
