In the interior, style is expressed in everything - from the layout and finishing materials, to textiles and accessories. At the moment, various sources list from 27 to 50 different styles. So, what styles are there in the interior and what are their characteristic features and attributes?

Let's look at what interior styles there are

All interior styles can be divided into 3 main groups:

ethnic;
historical;

The easiest way to recognize and distinguish ethnic interior styles from all others. The most common and recognizable of them:

Chinese;
Indian;
African;
Russian;
Moroccan;
Mexican;
Egyptian.

This list can be continued for a long time. Each nation has its own unique culture and traditions, which are reflected, among other things, in the design of their homes. It is difficult to draw parallels between restrained Japanese interiors, multi-colored and luxurious Arabic interiors, and Russian ones decorated with wood and carvings. However, something in common is still present in them - this is a unique folk flavor. An ethnic interior is not just a set of objects and colors, not only a reflection of traditions and customs, it is a mirror of the soul of the people. You may not be ready to live in such an interior, but it is simply impossible to remain indifferent to it.

Home decoration is one of the oldest human activities. We spend quite a lot of time in the house, so comfort, atmosphere and the overall feeling of the interior are important for our sense of self. Today, the planning and interior of a residential building is the sphere of work of specially trained people: designers, architects, decorators. Let's talk about the principles on which the interior is built, what styles of decoration exist.

Interior concept

The literal translation of the word "interior" from French means "internal". This concept today includes not only decoration, but also planning, zoning, and the development of a convenient arrangement of furniture and objects in accordance with human behavioral scenarios. When the need arises to create the interior of a residential building, the first thing that comes to mind is to turn to specialists. The design of living space is done by designers, decorators, and sometimes architects. But still, more often than not, people decorate their home on their own, listening a little to the advice of professionals. Therefore, it often comes down to the arrangement of furniture and the choice of wall color. And the interior is a thoughtful organization of living space, which should contribute to normal human life.

Principles of interior planning

When creating the interior of a residential building, you should remember the basic principles of design and layout. First of all, the room must meet the requirements of ergonomics and anthropometry. That is, it should be suitable in size for a person, allowing him to engage in usual activities without spending extra resources and without experiencing discomfort. Also, any design rests on “three pillars”: benefit, function and beauty. Throughout the long history of design, there have been periods when the focus was solely on beauty, for example, in the Baroque era, or only on functionality, for example, in the minimalist style. But modern man strives for a balance of aesthetics and practicality, and also strives to comply with the rule of environmental friendliness. A competent residential building often mentions the main compositional principles that must be taken into account when decorating a home. This is integrity, harmony, balance, the presence of a compositional center, accents and rhythm. Any interior consists of three groups of elements: the building shell, i.e. walls, floor, ceiling, windows; items, i.e. furniture, equipment; functional processes, i.e. everything that allows a person to perform the necessary actions in the room, and also creates emotions and atmosphere.

Room zoning

When designing a living space, it is necessary to think about it at the design stage. It is based on three principles:

Age. Separate spaces are necessary for different generations of residents.

Temporal. Traditionally, nighttime and daytime activities are separated.

Functional. The premises must meet the individual needs and lifestyle of all family members.

Must be determined before starting work on the decor. You should carefully consider places to sleep, highlight public and utility areas, and consider the placement of communications and technical equipment.

Light in the house

Man is a solar creature, and his mood and well-being depend on the illumination of his home; this should be remembered when creating the interior of a residential building. Lighting can be natural or artificial. In the first case we are talking about windows. If possible, it is better to choose houses with windows facing different sides, and it is desirable that the openings are large enough. But in any case, it will not be possible to do without artificial lighting. When planning it, you need to think through various lighting scenarios that will help residents live and act comfortably. Traditionally, there is general, functional and accent lighting. The purpose of general light in a room is to maintain a sufficient level of illumination. Traditionally, its sources are located on the ceiling; this can be a central chandelier or several lamps around the perimeter of the ceiling. Today, in modern interiors, designers are increasingly abandoning the central lamp, and prefer several lamps that maintain the overall level of illumination. Functional light sources are installed above areas where residents will perform some activity: reading, cooking, working. In such places, table or pendant lamps, sconces, and floor lamps are usually installed, preferably with the ability to change the angle of incidence of the beam. Accent light is designed to highlight some elements of the interior, for example, paintings. Small lamps and spots are used for this.

Plants in the interior of a residential building. Selection rules, preferences

Plants play an important role in the interior of a residential building. They create coziness, “revive” the room, purify the air, fill it with phytoncides, and can also zone it. However, it is worth remembering a few things, enough simple rules. The plant should fit harmoniously into the room in size; it should not take over the entire space, although it can act as an accent. Living plants should be placed carefully in bedrooms and children's rooms, remembering that they absorb oxygen at night. It is also worth remembering that the flora requires care, and if the owners are not ready for this, then you can get by with artificial copies.

Furniture arrangement

Any type of interior of a residential building is impossible without furniture. When planning a home, you need to think about the arrangement of objects in accordance with zoning and the needs of people. The aesthetic factor also plays an important role. The usual way of distributing furniture along the walls is not always convenient and productive. Using furniture, you can adjust the shape of the room, which ideally should be made square. The main placement rules are as follows:

It is necessary to observe proportionality and proportionality of objects;

There should be enough space for transit between objects in the room, comfortable access should be provided to cabinets and shelves;

It is worth choosing the main object, for example, a sofa, fireplace or table, and building the composition of the room around it. Don’t be afraid to move an object into the middle of the room, because complicating the route of movement can create new scenarios for using the room. Before arranging furniture, you need to carefully analyze the lifestyle of its owners and provide for everything possible options steps to calculate the space for each function.

Color in the interior

When creating a project on the theme “Interior of a residential building,” you need to make important decisions about the color filling of the room. Psychologists have proven that color has a great influence on a person’s mood and well-being; this must be taken into account when choosing color options for an apartment. It is also worth remembering that a person will spend a lot of time in these rooms, and nothing should irritate or depress him. There is a rule according to which it is not recommended to use more than 3 colors in one room. 60% of surfaces should be painted in a primary color, most often a discreet and neutral color. 30% of surfaces are made in a second color; it should be in harmony with the main one, but differ significantly from it. The easiest way is to choose two tones that are adjacent on the color wheel. 10% of the room is decorated in a contrasting color scheme to the second one. For example, curtains in the interior of a residential building can be a bright accent; large decorative items can perform the same functions.

Interior style

Today, designers are using a wide variety of residential designs. When choosing it, it is worth assessing the capabilities of the room. Yes, big Light room ideal for classic style, and a small area can be increased using the possibilities of hi-tech or minimalism. Also, the choice of style is certainly influenced by the personal preferences of the owners, the climate outside the window, the general design concept and even fashion. When decorating the interior, you should not always strive to create perfect stylization; after all, the house should reflect the individuality of the owners. In addition, today it is not precise stylizations that are relevant, but nuanced interiors, with slight hints of some style. Eclecticism is the main style that dominates the 21st century.

Classic

The most popular style in which the interior of a residential building is decorated is classic. Its hallmarks are its attraction to light colors and traditional materials: wood, stone. Classic interiors are built according to the principles of symmetry, with a clear identification of the compositional center. Usually, an invisible axis runs through the center of the room, relative to which a harmonious axis is created. This style is characterized by the use of elements such as stucco, half-columns, pilasters, rosettes, expensive fabrics, furniture made from solid wood, and parquet. Typically, classics are characterized by the use of a large number of decorative elements: vases, paintings, sofa cushions, candlesticks, lamps. The classic involves central lighting in the form of a chandelier, most often a crystal one, and several additional light sources.

Historicism

The interior of a residential building is divided into several eras called “great styles”. These are classicism, baroque, rococo and empire. The most luxurious and elaborate is Baroque, we can see it in the royal palaces of Louis XIV. He is characterized by the use of a large number of carved, gilded details, velvet in upholstery and curtains, and paintings. A more restrained and refined rococo, characteristic of the times of Louis XV, is distinguished by an almost complete absence of straight lines. It, like all historical styles, retains a tendency towards symmetry and the use of natural materials. Classicism is the most famous and popular style in the design of aristocratic homes. He is characterized by a desire for brevity and rigor of ancient traditions. A variant of classicism was the imperial style - empire, which departs from the canonical straight and simple lines. Empire style is luxury and scope. All historical styles require rooms with high ceilings and large volumes.

Modernity

The concept of “modern style” is very broad. It has an endless number of variations, with ethnic, historical, functional shades. But most importantly, modern interior a residential building should be easy to maintain, comfortable to live in and in keeping with the spirit of the times. It is characterized by a mix of objects different styles, characterized by straight lines, a large number of simple surfaces, without patterns or textures. Also, modern style requires a minimum of decor, which would take time to maintain and overload the interior. Premises in this style are created so that a person can relax and unwind. But the interior should be as comfortable as possible, i.e. it must take into account all functions. Therefore, it often uses transforming items that perform several functions simultaneously.

Minimalism

Variety modern style is minimalism. As the name implies, it seeks to remove unnecessary objects from the room as much as possible. First of all, this applies to decorative items. There is no place for carpets, chandeliers, or vases. The minimalist interior of a residential building makes maximum use of everything built-in: appliances, lighting fixtures. Many pieces of furniture are “hidden” in simple surfaces. For example, a reclining bed or table is a popular minimalist technique. This style is also characterized by a small number of colors; the most popular tones are white, gray and black. Can be used to add dynamics to the interior bright accents, for example, a yellow chair in a gray room.

Modern

The always current interior design of a residential building is the Art Nouveau or Art Nouveau style. It is characterized by a large number of curved lines and plant motifs. The pinnacle of this style was the interiors of A. Gaudi and F. Shekhtel. This style is a fierce opponent of symmetry; straight lines are not typical here. Everything is built on the play of shades and nuances. This style is characterized by the use of a large number of details, ornaments, an abundance of textiles, it can combine elements from other styles, the main thing is harmony and mood. A solution in the Art Nouveau style can be bright, using bold color solutions, or it can be subtle and nuanced.

Ethnics

Designers often suggest decorating living spaces in ethnic style. The advantage of this style is its endless variety. These may be national versions of the classics, for example, English or American style. And also cozy country options, for example, Provence, Austrian chalet. Although most often ethnicity refers to interiors in the spirit of India, Morocco, Mexico, China, Japan, and Africa. The beauty of ethnic style is that it allows you to create a bright and individual image. It is characterized by the use of traditional items of a certain territory or country.
