Monotonous furniture, excessive neutrality, inattention to detail - in our selection of "hot" dozen common misses in the interiors of compatriots. Check if the list of your errors!
1 monotonous furniture
The situation seems to be copied with IKEA directory pages? The usual thing in Russian homes. Furniture purchased by finished headsets? A convenient solution, according to many of our compatriots. As a result, the apartment at best resembles a hotel, at worst - exposure of a furniture hypermarket.
What to do?
Try to abandon the comprehensive solutions imposed by the manufacturers of furniture. It, of course, it is beneficial for the buyer to acquire everything at once, but it is unlikely that it will help you create a stylish, personalized, unique space.
2 sets
In addition to furniture purchased by whole series and headsets, you can often find textiles and decor in Russian houses purchased by sets. It is worth it and say that such details further contribute to the creation of a hotel atmosphere and finally destroy the individuality of the interior.What to do?
Refuse ready-made shopping kits in favor of textiles, combined with each other more elegant: in color scheme, texture, close (but not identical!) Pattern, etc. Make decorative compositions yourself. Go around the ready-made sets of VAZ, figurines, candlesticks, etc.
3 Excessive contrast
In an effort to make the situation more interesting and bougar, the Russians often make a bet on sharp, drowning on the eyes of the decision: black and white interiors, catchy red accents on a neutral background, direct contrasts.
What to do?
You need to correctly use contrast combinations, for this you can explore the color circle of Johannes Yeten and our tips, how to use it.
4 Excessive neutrality
The opposite extreme is unnecessary neutral interiors. Beige, gray or white walls, an inexpressive shade of the floor, neat, unreasonable paintings in colorless frames. The result is a faceless, uninteresting, inactive interior.
What to do?
A neat intersection of dark parts will dilute too light gamut (and vice versa). Are you afraid of sharp contrasts? Add smooth: Enter shades into the interior to a couple of tones darker and lighter available. Contact pastel colored accents. Do not want colors? Take a look at metals, wicker decor, living greenery: All this is neutral motifs that are capable, however, make the situation in less and more interesting.
5 Fearful color
Error, closely related to the previous paragraph, - fear of color. While the Western manons boldly paint and repaint, decorated, fold and absolutely everybody renewed the situation, saturating it with shades, we try to choose the colors in more detail - so as not to be tired, did not come out of fashion to the nearest 5 (or even 10, and 20) Nothing to change anything.
What to do?
Remember: If you break up the color of furniture or walls, you can always take paint and brushes. Are you defiantly afraid? Add a mood using decorative parts and textiles: not so scary with them, and their replacement will not take much time and will not hit the budget so much.
6 thoughtless copying
Of course, we all have long discovered for themselves and Pinterest, and Instagram. Avalanche ideas overwhelmed many Russians - and they began to take beautiful pictures for weapons. That's just thoughtless copying, excluding our realities, has become a very common mistake.What to do?
Focusing on beautiful photographs, pay attention to the interior area, the number of windows in the room, the climate of the country. A decorative solution that looks amazing in a spacious private house somewhere in sunny Italy may be inappropriate and funny in St. Petersburg small-silt with windows to the north.
7 Lack of volume
Many of us do not think about how important the volume is: the flat interior looks lifeless, cheap, stretched.
What to do?
Play with halftones: little to add bright accents, it is important to take into account the variations of shades (darling-turning and warmer-cold-cold). Do not be afraid of patterns, patterns, ornaments. Remember about the mirror. Do not limit yourself exclusively with white walls without decor (no, so you do not increase the space). And, of course, do not bother on textures.
8 Inattention to detail
We can choose a clock wallpaper and floor covering, to dig in the city in search of "the most" sofa, wait for months from abroad "Curtains Dreams" - and ... spoil all this magnificence with plastic window sills, the most ordinary switches, faceless outlets, basic switches Accessories and other inbounds to detail.
What to do?
Remember: Similar trifles not only give out the quality of the interior, but also ask him tone.
9 Household little things
Rods, brushes, sponges on the sink, vacuum cleaner in the corner and ironing board in the center - the right way to spoil the interior. And frequent phenomenon in our apartments.What to do?
Provide accurate, inconspicuous storage of assistant instruments and household details.
10 slurry
Sometimes even a freshly lubricated apartment can impress sludge due to misses in the design. Alas, such a phenomenon is a frequent phenomenon in Russian houses.
What to do?
Errors in the design that make the interior sloppy can be eliminated. Review open storage, decor on the walls and fold small important items (for example, a remote control) to its locations.
