Historical
Classic
Classic in fashion and now. Balanced composition, rich accessories, clear zoning rooms on recreation areas, work and dining area are characteristic of classics.
Pastel tones predominate in the classics (white, blue, gold, pink) to create comfort and space where you can relax and relax. Bright colors can be in decor and accents, but they should not be screaming, but deep. Luxury classics is reflected in the finish. On the ceilings you can see the stucco, on the walls - wallpaper with patterns and vensels or decorative plaster, venetian. On the floor most often put parquet or laminate, which imitates a parquet "Christmas tree".
Wooden furniture with luxurious leather upholstery or textile upholstery will be good with the addition of Lurex. The massiveness is welcome.
The decorated apartment or house in this aesthetics will be relevant and after 5-10 years. But, if you are a lover of rigor and asceticity, it is better to take another thing that are styles in the interior.
Art Deco
Ar Deco always attracts attention and finds his fans.
Basic features: Bright decor, which is combined with each other, harmony, lightness and elegance, but not minimalist. The Ar Deco combines exotic and primitive art, so you can see animal objects in the neighborhood with sculptures and images of magnificent ladies. Also one of the most popular symbols is the "rising sun", or "Egyptian semicircle".
For ar-deco you can pick up any colors, the main thing is their combination with each other and naturalness, acid shades will not fit. Choose light tones and on their background paint the rest of the interior picture. The finishing materials use exotic species (ivory, crocodile and snake skin), it looks luxurious, but reflected on the cost of repair. Ar Deco requires investments.
Among the furniture you can see rounded items with handles, chrome-plated or wooden.
Eclecticism
Eclecticism originated at the beginning of the last century as a historical necessity: then often mixed different types of styles in the interior, and a separate direction appeared, which we call eclectics today. The relaxed mixing of different directions, usually two or three, their harmonious combination in shape, color, size of elements, a sufficient amount of decor is distinguished by eclectic.
It is impossible to allocate some specific colors characteristic of eclectic, designers choose light walls, but it is done only in order to be a comfortable background. You can also find enough extravagant things, such as a green sofa or chair, a bright picture, curtains with an unusual pattern.
On the walls - wallpaper or ceramic tiles, the floor is placed by a parquet or laminate, you can also meet stucco decorations. Furniture can be from different "stories": and futuristic, and classical, and minimalist.
It is impossible not to note the importance of the decor. It is he who makes this direction by distinctive, alive and dynamic.
Neoclassica
As you could already understand the name, the interiors in the Neoclassic style are known as the "daughter" of classics, but in a more modern version. But it would be wrong to assume that removing the stucco from the ceiling, your classic room will become with the prefix "neo". Let's deal with.
Main features: lightness, elegance of shapes and lines, strict adherence to proportions and minimum decorations.
Light gamma (beige, dairy, light gray and blue) prevails. The dark deep tones can be found as accents, such as wine, green or blue. For neoclassics, it is characterized by painting in pastel tones and finishing with fabrics, a wooden floor or a porcelain band.
The furniture remained a massiveness, but the pompousness is not so relevant, it is better to abandon a large amount of thread and choose something strict, exquisite and minimalist.
Modern
Aged at the turn of 19-20 centuries, preaching the rejection of historical experience in the work and the development of something unconventional. In the interior design, he also reflected and became popular.
Modern seeks to combine practicality and artistic. Rounded forms, curved lines and ornaments are characteristic features. The emphasis remains on natural colors, but the modernity loves and brightness, so the colors can safely combine.
New textures and materials found their use in modern, but there is a place and traditional left: for example, walls can be saved by wallpaper, and put parquet flooring on the floor. Functional cabinet furniture is suitable, but with the mandatory presence of the "highlight": elegant fittings, matte glazing of cabinets, smooth lines.
National
Scandinavian
Scandy, as affectionately calling his fans, can be described in three words: simplicity, functionality, comfort. In Russia, this area is becoming increasingly popular, and most likely, the reason for the accessibility, including items from the IKEA store, because it is this Swedish brand that brought Scandi to our realities.
For Scandy, there is a lot of light, large windows, often without curtains, so that the lights were even more, simplicity of lines and forms, a lot of free space and few objects of the situation, cozy textiles. Green houseplants play the role of decor and complement with their freshness.
Color range: white, white and white white. It is considered the basic. The reason for such popularity is simple: there are few sun and natural light in the Northern countries, so white and other light shades (gray, blue) are dominated in the setting.
As a wall decoration - paint or simple wallpaper, floor, as a rule, wooden or minimalist tiles. Furniture can be found out of wood, as simple as possible, without delights. Not uncommon handmade items.

Japanese (Vabi Sabi)
Also included in the family of Eastern, but is the complete opposite of Arabic. The Japanese as a nation pragmatic, striving for harmony and the steady of functionality created a style that can be described by the same words.
The basis of functional objects of the situation and technology is based, since it is an integral part of Japanese culture that is precisely the effective use of resources, compactness, the use of natural materials, a tendency to minimalism.
Most often, Japanese monochrome interiors are dominated by light shades of wood and textiles. Such a choice is also explained by the fact that neutral gamma minimizes the feeling of disorder unacceptable in the culture of the Japanese.
The Japanese prefer to use natural materials, which is reflected in the finish. On the walls, it is often possible to see bright wooden panels, the basis is the wallpaper or smooth plaster. The floor is laid out laminate, parquet or tile. Furniture: simple and functional, compact, lightweight, most often from a light tree.

French
This is soft, elegance and sophistication. Rooms in French aesthetics are filled with pastel colors and beautiful decorations: paintings, candles, vases, mirrors.

Decorative elements play a big role. In such a room there must be a photo and patterns in frames, vases and mirrors, candles in sophisticated candlesticks.
English style
In English homes, a lot of noble wood is used, bookcases with open shelves, accessories, some clutter, as it is not customary to put on the walls to exemplate space.

Walls are covered with light wallpaper, monophonic or with a slight pattern. On the floor it is better to lay a wooden parquet or premium laminate from an artificial tree. Furniture is usually massive. Cabinets, sofas, shelves, tables. It is believed that the attribute of the English house is a chair with "ears" - protrusions on the sides of the high back. Sitting in such a warm and nice, it protects against drafts.
American style
This is a derivative of two cultures: Eastern and Western brought to a new continent. Some consider it a "parody" to classic European apartments, but, despite the external similarity, the chapter put practicality.
Color range is diverse, but natural colors prevail. Terracotta motives, ocolated terracotta are popular.
Depending on how the goal is pursued by designers, both modern materials are used, like wallpapers on the wall, and wooden panels, with the help of which you can simulate the "Huts of Uncle Tom". On the floor, as a rule, there is a parquet or laminate. Almost all the furniture looks quite simple and made of wood, typical are low chairs and a bed on four columns.

Natural shades are dominated in the loft: gray and brown, brick and concrete colors.
This is a rare case when the smaller finishes, the better. Possible negligence and neglence will give coloritis. You can leave untouched concrete surfaces or old brickwork. Paul also often can be found concrete or made of specially made-up parquet.

For example, building pallets collected in bed or table.
