Russian style in the interior - 35 photos of the ideas of embodiment
The re-creation of the Russian style, such a colorful and diverse, is increasingly interested not only in patriotic owners, but also in Western designers. And if for the latter this style is a tribute to exotic fashion, only a Russian person can appreciate the heritage of their ancestors and the unique atmosphere of the rooms created in the world-famous Russian style in the interior of a house or apartment.
This popular trend is constantly being rethought by designers for the maximum comfort of owners. Traditional values make it possible to feel nature at home due to the abundance of wood and the lack of plastic. This is a timeless style, ideas for which you can draw from a photo or trust your intuition by trying to combine decorative and color elements for an individual result.
There are several basic concepts embodying the Russian style. The interpretation can be extremely complete and then we get a Russian hut. There are certain features:
maximum environmental friendliness;
raciness, even some “vulgarity”, “fairy tale”;
the texture of the tree is usually emphasized, complemented by metal: tin, cast iron, brass;
Sufficient space for each significant object to stand out;
rough furnishings.
Interesting items that came, as if from centuries old, such as wooden chests, grip in the kitchen, pots, lids, other hand-made folk crafts. It is important only in the pursuit of decorativeness to stop on time and think about practical use.
Russian hut is a rustic direction, the ultimate natural, unprocessed. But in such interiors, not everyone is comfortable, especially for a long time. Therefore, there is a more sophisticated version - the Russian tower with a few adapted, modernized external characteristics.
Improved Variation - Terem
The summer cottage is now associated with pleasant moments, the opportunity to relax, take a small trip. It is not difficult to make an excursion into history, because changes and improvements are precisely aimed at enjoying the color without interruption from a comfortable pastime.
The upgrade applies to all wooden surfaces - they become more even, carefully finished. Allowed varnish, polishing, painting; parquet appears. Emphasis is placed on exquisite, fine carvings and ornaments. Mosaic decoration is present in the decoration of walls, floors.
Decorative elements also undergo changes for a more spectacular transformation:
items are carefully painted;
gilding, chasing - decorate many planes;
watches, paintings, mirrors on the walls - no longer look like alien components;
Textiles - acquires delicate embroidery with embellishment in the form of silver, gilt threads, beads, pearls.
The furniture is more modernized - even in the photo you can notice the appearance of sofas, armchairs and those objects that fit neatly into the interior, are more familiar in everyday life. A simple shape, upholstery in a suitable fabric are signs that a soft band will take root in the design.
Manor - elegant and unbanal
A share of chic without pretense of authenticity - this is how you can describe the ability to create an original, effective, comfortable interior. The noble estate is a colorful classic style with dimensionality, symmetry, the use of expensive materials and objects - witnesses of a bygone era.
Folk traditions quite have something in common with imported foreign elements:
Ceiling painting, stucco molding, very effectively reflected in the ornamentation of a luxurious carpet on the floor, are quite acceptable;
Wooden furniture, possibly with gilding, upholstered chairs;
Upholstery of walls with fabric or wallpaper that imitates it is a popular technique that adds coziness;
Porcelain is everyday dishes, and extremely successful specimens of plates are on the wall of the dining room area as expressive decor;
Complex baguettes, candelabra - metered, but very expressive;
Floral and floral ornament - repeated many times.
Tip. In the concept of the Russian estate, Italian furniture, French tapestries and other signs of “overseas” are perfectly acceptable.
Frivolous attitude
If you do not want to spend time in an environment resembling a museum or a souvenir shop - bring only a touch of recognition through associations, and possibly stereotypes. Numerous decor items made of modern materials can effectively fit them into almost any interior.A mirror framed by a baguette imitating wooden platbands is appropriate for a loft and a real Russian style.
Bast shoes, nesting dolls, samovars, birch bark - are recognizable always and everywhere. To create “a la rus” only at the expense of old accents, folklore motifs - why not? Many designers reject such a concept, considering it too deliberate, filled with stamps. But there is nothing wrong with souvenirs if they reflect your mood, impressions, perhaps the memory of pleasant moments, interesting trips.
It is not necessary to recreate “literally” any one era, although there are distinguishing features from a historical point of view:
Era
Title
Signs
The oldest Slavic heritage
Russian hut
Shops, chests, grip, ritual symbols in the ornament, Red corner
Enfilades, symmetry, unusual materials, Chinese motifs, porcelain
Catherine
Russian classicism
Libraries, art galleries
Khokhloma, Gzhel - being expressive, distinctive in themselves, are not considered fashionable unless peculiar conditions have been created for them - an unusual place of reproduction, non-standard art objects. The main thing is not to overdo it with their number, color compatibility with the rest of the environment.
Color and pattern are one
Many photos of interiors in the Russian style do not give the impression of plain and monochrome. The active addition of a variety of colors, quite saturated, noticeable, brings accents that allow the interior to look more lively, dynamic.
There are stable, win-win combinations:
white + blue - the impression of weightlessness;
gold + red + black - luxurious Khokhloma;
green + red + blue on a beige, linen background - the original ornament.
Among the variety of options presented for such a recognizable interior of the Russian hut, take a look at the photo: you can easily find particularly attractive drawings. Golden ocher tones diluted with white and red are the main ones for this direction. The interiors in the spirit of princely chambers and a tower demonstrate much greater multicolor. For a Russian-style manor, the color incarnation may include rich tones of individual elements - raspberry, purple, blue-green.
Finishing and furnishing
A variety of wood species, such as cherry, birch, ash and pine, vary considerably in texture and budget, and a real solid wood (especially oak) may seem impressive in price. Diluting completely wooden surfaces is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also practical.
Companion materials for surface finishing:
Tiles. Finishing part of the wall in the fireplace zone, the culinary zone of the kitchen.
Bleached plaster - adds light and space.
Natural stone (granite, marble) - emphasizes the structure of the tree.
Creative owners will love the idea of independently aging or reanimating suitable patterns. Modern improvised means (there are even ready-made sets, for example, for decoupage), varnishes and paints with all kinds of effects (craquelure, patina) take the process to a new level. They allow you to create yourself the very valuable antique object that gives the room a special touch: a crockery, chest of drawers, wardrobe, chest.
Tip. Think not just niches, but screens, doors that hide the necessary equipment for full compliance and harmony.
For a kitchen in this peculiar design, manufacturers have provided headsets from an array (or referred to as such), which:
they will hide behind their facades small and large household appliances that are knocked out of the concept;
For the hood, the requirements are taken into account - the shape of the chimney or a special box hiding a modification that is not relevant to the time.
retro appliances, calm colors with copper, brass fittings.
Lighting is important and necessary
It can become a serious problem if the interior involves permanent residence. The abundance of wood does not affect the degree of illumination in the best way - surfaces, especially non-alternating with white stucco, absorb rays of light, making the interior a little gloomy, especially in the apartment, with low ceilings.
What you should pay attention to:
The presence of large windows that will not allow the interior of living rooms to turn into a bathhouse.
Lightening areas of paint, whitewashing, because white of all reflects light better.
Excluded active LED backlight, saving interiors from dim lighting.
Not to violate the authentic atmosphere will help:
perforated shades modeling lace;
lampshades with painting, embroidery;
birch bark shades;
imitation of candles, lamps.
For a modern read, designers came up with enough solutions. For example, the latest trend is fixtures resembling a doll made of metal and glass. Even the special retro wires, which allow historically justifying the achievements of technology, can become an interesting accent.
Tip. In windows, all plastic elements must be replaced with wooden frames and supplemented with decorative shutters if desired.
Curtains compensate for the simplicity of form with an ornament of flower garlands, lace ruffles are possible. Cornices, certainly wooden, with skillful carvings will become an additional decoration.
Home
No style can accommodate such a diverse design of stoves, fireplaces, like Russian. In addition to the aesthetic superiority from the presence of this immutable attribute, in a modern design, the hearth includes additional functionality - zoning, especially with the combined layout of the kitchen-living room.
But for each direction, you should adhere to such recommendations:
Russian hut - imitation or real version of an old bleached stove.An indispensable rustic touch - drovnitsa;
Terem - tiles, and some collections are represented by extremely authentic aged specimens that exclude the appearance of a remake;
Russian estate - a fireplace portal can be made of stone; stove-potbelly stove - a non-banal option.
No less important are the accompanying objects of the fireplace area - copper products imitating the bark, all kinds of forged accessories.
Fabric - an indicator of style
Upholstery of furniture groups, pillows, curtains - you don’t have to make a long choice, because manufacturers offer ready-made collections. Sometimes even with names that help make a decision: Firebird, Sadko. Paradoxically, foreign companies actively offer Russian flax, which once again confirms the relevance of this design.
All kinds of tablecloths, napkins for the dining area, lace decor, embroidery, tapestries, homespun rugs - those attributes that some time ago dreamed of getting rid of as a relic of the past, are actively represented in many design projects. Now they are considered entourage things, without which this style will look unfinished. They stimulate to try to realize creative potential in order to be especially proud of the final result in the future.
Russian style in the interior with the help of modern materials can be made so many-sided and original, especially by listening to your personal needs. Royal mansions, a classic manor or a modest hut - each determines the degree of their adaptation. After all, the most important thing in any interior is that it reflects the character of the owners and helps to relax, restore strength. With the help of this direction, it is quite easy to implement, while becoming the owner of a particularly fashionable design of your country house or apartment.
