People who did not face the task of major repairs or redevelopment of premises, believe that having all the necessary tools, materials, to do this is easy, fast, and the result is always at its best. But moving into a newly built housing, acquiring a secondary, they understand: it’s not enough to look through design magazines, buy building materials, and decorate them with an interior. What looked great in the picture does not fit the height of the ceilings, the size of the windows, the width of the corridor of the new apartment. Serious mistakes in interior design can be avoided by observing simple rules, adhering to some simple principles.
Do not use a large number of different colors within the same room. The combination of three is considered optimal: the main color will occupy 60-70% of the space, 20-30% - auxiliary, up to 10% - small additional accents. Too bright color combinations tire the eye, dark colors narrow the room, light colors expand.
Some tend to bring the greatest possible variety of colors into the interior - this does not look very good, but multi-color elements are acceptable. Carpet, curtains of rainbow colors are suitable when the rest of the background is mostly plain. No wallpaper in flower, numerous colorful paintings while using it is extremely undesirable. Excessively strict color combinations of “everything with everything” are also disadvantageous, but even in a monochrome interior there may be several complementary elements.
The color of the walls is selected optimally combined with the colors of the furniture, the basic elements of the decor, but the strictly monochrome room looks dull, it requires separate accents - accessories, prints, bright colors.
Clutter or oversupply of parts
Too much excess furniture, “particularly unique” decor, abundant finish creates chaos. All family photos arranged on several shelves, numerous souvenirs from Egypt, Africa, China, a dozen hand-embroidered panels on the wall, look like a shop window or a museum. Buying vases, shelves, caskets, clay bells, and other trinkets at fairs and sales is a bad habit for many people.If this junk is not periodically handed out to friends, not handed out to the poor, sooner or later it will occupy the whole house. Some drag in the apartment, a country house everything that friends are going to throw out or give away for free on the Internet: it may come in handy. Such a “disease” should also be discarded.
An overly minimalistic interior will be too boring. The ideal design option is not to place more than three homogeneous elements in the same room. Let it be two or three decorative pillows on the bed, one large mosaic of tiles in the bathroom, the only carved panel in the design of the hallway, two paintings in beautiful frames on the living room wall.
Zoning - the optimal number of receptions
Improper layout creates complex labyrinths from partitions, furniture, floor lamps. Between the objects, it is necessary to leave enough space for free movement - when one or two people live in the apartment, then 70-80 cm is enough. If there are more residents, 100-120 cm will be required.
Dividing the space should be done using:
furniture items;
plasterboard partitions;
screen;
arches;
curtains;
carpet;
lighting;
bar counter.
Zoning is often done using various floor colors, contrasting wall decoration. This is not the best option - such a contrast quickly bothers, begins to annoy.
Podiums are appropriate in large rooms - a living room, which is combined with a kitchen, a studio apartment. In places where they often go they don’t do it - it’s extremely inconvenient to jump a step each time. Zoning with different ceiling heights is acceptable, but a large number of levels in a cramped room are depressing.
Too many logical zones in one room is undesirable, except when many people live in the same apartment. Then everyone will have to allocate a separate workspace.It is also not worth combining more than two or three methods: the sleeping area will be separated from the working closet, and from the wardrobe - a screen. The bath and the toilet will be separated by a dressing table, the kitchen will be separated from the living room by the arch, and the bar where food is prepared from the dining area. A play area is designated in the children's carpet, the sleeping place is separated by a curtain, and the workplace of each child is separated by a table. In the hallway, a cabinet is distinguished by light, an area around the mirror.
Sockets, switches - we design at the planning stage
The time has passed when the switches were mounted almost at the height of the average height of an adult, the sockets were a meter above the floor, and each element was present in one or two copies per room. It turned out a bunch of wires from household appliances, a child or a low adult had to stand on a small bench to turn on the light in the toilet, bedroom.
Modern time requires many separate switches for each interior lighting fixture. Outlets also require a lot:
in the combined bathroom, bathtub - connection of a washing machine, hair dryer, hand dryer;
in the kitchen - a mixer, toaster, electric kettle, refrigerator, dishwasher are turned on;
in the bedroom - charging a phone, tablet, laptop, connecting a lamp;
in the office will connect a computer, office equipment, table lamp;
in the living room - a TV, speaker system, all kinds of gadgets;
in the nursery - a computer, desk, wall lamp, decorative nightlight, in the summer - a mosquito fumigator;
in the hallway - charging gadgets before going out, mirror lighting;
in the dressing room - connecting an iron, sometimes a hair dryer, curling irons.
You should start thinking about the placement of certain devices at the design stage - even with the most conservative calculation, each person has to charge one or two phones, a tablet, a laptop, wash clothes in a typewriter, and turn on the light not only above the berth.Both switches and sockets are mounted at a convenient height - no more than a meter above the floor.
Finishing methods - props, impractical materials
The abundance of non-functional decor such as columns, artificial fountains, stucco moldings, false fireplaces in each room, paintings in heavy frames looks good in exhibition halls, theaters, but not in the home. Textured finish perfectly collects dust, requiring daily care. A large number of drywall structures that do not have a practical function, looks ridiculous. Artificial plants in a residential interior should not be placed - even the most realistic ones, they do not create comfort, do not purify the air, like fresh flowers. But for a temporary decor for any holiday, office space is quite acceptable.
Pasting paper on the kitchen, bathroom, toilet is an unfortunate option. The high humidity of the rooms will make everything re-stick literally in a year. Clapboard decoration, to create an ethnic style, turns the apartment into a summer cottage, textured plaster gives the impression of a factory lobby, an abundance of photo wallpaper with widescreen images quickly bothers.
Decorative stone is appropriate only in some interior styles, but for the flooring of the bedroom it is excessively cold, the stone textured wall of the nursery is traumatic.
Window decoration - the right choice of textiles
The smaller the window, the thinner, more transparent the curtains are selected. But too short look poor, excessively long interfere with folds lying on the floor. A very "rich" finish with multilayer curtains with a bunch of folds, lambrequins, shuttlecocks, lace details, is acceptable only for certain interior styles, spacious rooms. A tiny window with such decor looks ridiculous. Windows completely without any draperies are permissible when designing a minimalist interior, loft, industrial. Blinds are suitable for high-tech design, roller blinds will also be a wonderful purchase.
Curtains should fit well into the overall design - they are selected to match the color of the carpet, upholstery, sofa pillows. Most often, the curtains contrast with the color of the walls, but can merge with it, if so conceived.
Vertical stripes on the curtains visually "raise" the ceiling, light textiles expand the room.
It’s uncomfortable without them - decorative pillows, carpet choice
The carpet for the bedroom, nursery, living room should not be too small - this is a gross mistake. When a tiny piece of textile sadly lies in the middle of the room, this suggests the lack of taste among the owners or the inability to afford a larger carpet, occupying up to 90% of the floor surface, which successfully combines all the elements of furniture. The “walkway” will adorn a long corridor, the staircase of a “rich” two-level apartment. Carpets are not laid close to the wall - they leave at least ten centimeters to it, otherwise the room will seem cramped. Excessively colorful are now out of fashion, monochrome is preferred, but combined with other textiles.
There should not be too many pillows - a maximum of three or five, can be of different sizes. Colorful, richly decorated with embroidery, are permissible only on a plain sofa, bed. They can be combined with the coloring of the carpet, but not duplicate its pattern completely. With the help of multi-colored covers for pillows with zippers, the interior is changed according to the mood - for the winter, fluffy, faux fur suits, in the summer they are replaced with linen, cotton. For a square sofa, quadrangular pillows are suitable, for a round bed - rounded, for a nursery - in the form of fairy-tale characters, animals.
Lighting errors
The only ceiling lamp throughout the room has not been relevant for a long time - the lighting is done for each zone, its significant decoration elements often have individual lighting. The abundance of large lamps in the decoration of any small room, whether it is a bathroom, kitchen or living room, violate the harmony of the room, cluttering it. In a spacious room, a lot of lighting is allowed, but different - a ceiling chandelier, LED strip on furniture, a table lamp.
With the help of light, it is easy to change the shape of the room - an excessively elongated space needs to be illuminated with "long" walls, lamps on long cords are mounted on a ceiling too high, literally every corner is lit in a cramped room. The abundance of light in the sleeping area prevents falling asleep, it is better to make adjustable lighting. A special remote control is also useful for changing the brightness and turning off the backlight at a distance.
For residential premises, it is advisable to choose a warm light that mimics the sun. In the lighting of the corridor, bathroom, loggia, let us assume a cold luminous flux.
Choice, arrangement of furniture
Many furniture companies offer ready-made furniture for any room - it is sold immediately as a set. This is not the best solution - a neighbor can buy exactly the same furniture, because he has a similar layout. There will be zero originality.
The dimensions of the furniture are selected appropriate for the room: sofa, cupboard, kitchen, round bed, occupying almost the entire room, are not suitable, as a tiny table is not suitable for a huge living room, bedroom.
The furniture should correspond to the growth: for the nursery, “growing with the child” is chosen, kitchen cabinets and shelves in the living room should not be hung too high — it is problematic for short people to get to them.
Furnishing is very rare along the walls - zoning is now popular. Shelving in the combined kitchen-living room, studios separate the sleeping area, a bar counter - the kitchen, a shower cubicle in the combined bathroom separate the dressing table from the toilet.
Before buying furniture in the store, it is advisable to sit on it, open the drawers, check the convenience of using folding elements. The sofa is quite capable of being inconvenient, the lifting structure of the wardrobe-bed is disproportionately heavy.
Stylistic mistakes
Inappropriate interior is the main problem for those who want to recreate the design from a glossy magazine.In a typical one-room "Khrushchev" it is impossible to make a full-fledged palace - it will look ridiculous, carved furniture, voluminous stucco molding simply will not leave room for life. Also, the loft design in the apartment of 25-30 square meters will not look. m. with small windows to the north, low ceiling. Empty brick walls, an abundance of light, high ceilings with exposed beams - its main signs, artsy metal decor in such a cramped environment is traumatic. The style of country in a house the size of a hangar is also not an option - it is problematic to create coziness here. The solution to such issues is to choose a simpler, more suitable style, but carefully use the individual elements that you like. It is undesirable to mix different styles too much - this is a big mistake. The lack of unity of style, disunity of its elements leads to chaos. If you really want to combine different styles in one apartment, this is done in different rooms, although designers still recommend keeping the entire apartment in the same style.
The stylistic design, first of all, should please the residents, so you can always find a compromise.
Lack of decor or decor should be
The presence of a certain amount of decor makes the apartment cozy, giving it uniqueness. But the decor is important to position correctly. Wallpaper with vertical stripes makes the room higher, with horizontal stripes wider. Too large a pattern on them is permissible only in spacious rooms. It is not recommended to duplicate the same pattern on many different objects. Excessively "strict" interior, completely without decor, uncomfortable, similar to an office building.
Hanging pictures too high, photographs is not an option, as you have to turn your head up, which is extremely inconvenient. This does not apply to cases of fastening the story group of pictures, which occupy most of the height of the wall. One large bright picture is placed on an almost empty wall - the emphasis of the room is placed on it.
Functionality, practicality of the interior
Good interior - comfortable interior, ergonomic, safe. You should not make a museum at home, where you can’t touch anything, at the risk of breaking it or getting it dirty. A huge chandelier in the living room, about which the tallest member of the family always beats, a falling armrest of a sofa in the kitchen, a cabinet door opening in an uncomfortable direction, a creaky floor are signs of an impractical interior. If each child does not have a separate table or corner for games, then the problem should be eliminated. You should also resolve issues related to the availability of the required number of storage locations. Lighting the apartment is sufficient for normal work, leisure, cooking, needlework, applying makeup.
With an anomalously large, small stature - above 200 cm or less than 150 cm, furniture, the height of the hanging cabinets, decorative elements is selected individually. A low person will need a stepladder, a special step to get the necessary things from the upper shelves, a high one can hit a door jamb, touch a low hanging chandelier with his head.
It is necessary to get rid of all unnecessary things - floor vases, figurines in inconvenient places, indoor plants, which are periodically eaten by a cat, a squeezed chair, a table with sharp corners, which cannot be bumped into. Home safety should come first.
Complex, multi-tiered ceilings
Plasterboard structures having several levels, made in three or four contrasting colors, are quite common, but they do not fit any room. If the ceiling is low, the complex ceiling structure will be oppressive when the room is small, the effect of cluttered space will be created.
The abundance of lighting at different levels, the original decor elements will give the room a unique, but reduce the height. A multi-level ceiling is allowed only as a single accent of the room, as it will distract from smaller elements of the decor.
Provide storage locations
The interior, in which everything is lying anywhere, looks untidy, cluttered.Therefore, it is recommended that specialists have as much as possible various places for storage in an apartment, a house - it’s good, most models of modern furniture require built-in drawers, shelves, sections.
In Soviet times, storage was carried out in a room the size of just a couple of "squares", called the "pantry". Everything was stored on shelves, tables, nightstands - carpentry tools and bicycle parts, a vacuum cleaner and skis, nails and clothes for giving. In the hall there was a wardrobe, where books, documents, utensils lay. In the kitchen, the sideboard, the “Khrushchev refrigerator” coped with storage at the very least, in the bedroom there was a large-sized “grandmother's” cabinet of small capacity. In modern times, there is such a thing as a dressing room - it is usually a separate room, a corner in the bedroom. It stores clothes, shoes, accessories, on bars, hangers, shelves, in baskets.
If space permits, a part of rarely used household appliances, sports equipment is also located there. Outerwear, casual shoes are placed in a corner built-in wardrobe in the hallway, sometimes they also store tools there. The bed in the bedroom is equipped with drawers for storing linen, a dressing table, a desk, where all the necessary little things are stored. The bathroom provides various shelves, including built-in bathtubs. The kitchen set contains dishes, kitchen appliances, table linen. It’s not advisable to clutter the living room at all - one rack or two or three shelves under the TV is enough. Books are most often stored there, but now far from every house has them. In the nursery they put a chest of drawers, a rack with plastic containers for toys.
Conclusion
Knowing the basic rules of a high-quality, full-fledged design of modern interiors, you can design your apartment, house so that it looks harmonious, has no pronounced flaws.If independent improvement is not possible, defects cannot be fixed in any way, you should contact professional designers - they know how to decorate the existing space without making mistakes. It is not always possible to repeat the exact picture from the Internet, but it is possible to recreate the basic concept even in the most difficult situations.
People who did not face the task of major repairs or redevelopment of premises, believe that having all the necessary tools, materials, to do this is easy, fast, and the result is always at its best.
