INTERIOR AND DESIGN OF THE APARTMENT. PART II

Before you start repairing an apartment, you need to understand what style of interior you will bring to life. This is especially necessary to consider before redevelopment. And in order not to get lost in the sea of stylistic decisions, let's consider them and briefly describe them.

Vintage

French refinement in the form of a vintage style came into fashion in the 90s of the XX century. It personifies grace and elegance.

Antique furniture and dishes occupy an important place in the vintage style.

But if you have a master who will do everything in antiquity, you will not have to run around at auctions and collect bit by bit the aged interior products.

Do not forget about the flowers; there can be many of them in the vintage style.

The color scheme of textile solutions when choosing bedspreads, tablecloths and curtains implies a reasonable combination of white, beige, as well as blue, purple and green, but always light shades.

Feel free to buy shabby mirrors, because in the vintage style - it is beneficial.

Gothic

This style is associated with France of the 12th century, where, in fact, it appeared for the first time. A little later, the Gothic style spread to the countries of Europe, saturating the facades and decoration of visits with its strict and slightly moody forms.

This style corresponds to wooden ceilings, spiral staircases, a fireplace in the form of tiled tiles. The abundance of stained glass on the walls and windows is a hallmark of Gothic. But in the modern interior it is rarely used: heavy furniture with frame-panel knitting, colors - from red-green to pink-black ...

Gothic style is special, but someone gravitates to it.

Country

Rural style, rustic - this is how country is characterized. But this is a very cozy and unusual style that encourages reunion with nature. And it originated in England - old, kind and comfortable, despite the fogs and rains in the afternoon.

In the country style they use natural materials, but without a pump, while maintaining naturalness and simplicity. Designers use brass and hand-forged bronze as metal. An indispensable condition is a fireplace, around which wicker furniture with many pillows is located. And to add even more warmth and coziness, on the walls and mantels should be placed photos in frames, paintings, old books.

Китч

Do not be confused by the literal translation of this word, which really sounds dissonant and implies bad taste in the style. Kitsch style can be seen as a departure from real gold and brilliance, approaching a realistic world.

It appeared at the turn of the XIX – XX centuries and is characterized by cheap analogues of luxurious interior elements.

On the one hand, this approach cannot please, because the antique fake, although gilded, is still a fake. And on the other - do not expose people in an effort to approach a posh lifestyle. If a person is comfortable in this world, then what difference does it make others think.

Classic

The classic style implies a norm and a role model. In any case, this is exactly what they thought between the 17th and 19th centuries. This style is associated with the French monarch Louis XVI and his chambers in the Palace of Versailles.

In the classical style all proportions are observed, white color dominates. Gilding and marble complement the interior, in which everything is harmoniously combined without unnecessary piles. Classical style curtains are very reminiscent of the current ones: thick curtains, a transparent curtain and a silk lambrequin. And the abundance of brushes, fringes and lace. The floor should be parquet, and the decor of the interior and furniture should combine materials such as natural stone and metal, preferably gilding.

Constructic

This style reflects the trends of the Soviet era, saturated with avant-garde. It was widely developed in the 20-30s of the last century.

Monolithic lines and strict geometry can be traced in everything without decor and romantic forms. Built-in niches and lights are gaining popularity. Almost like now. And the furniture performs exclusively functional purpose and can be moved to any angle. This style is very convenient: nothing more, plus cost savings.
