3. Provence style hallway furniture: which one is suitable?

Cabinet furniture of this trend is decorated with cross-to-cross elements on the backs of couches and chairs, facades, sides and backs of cabinets, shelves and cabinets. Furniture in a modern classical style is also suitable - the main thing is that it be visually light, in a delicate palette.

In general, Provence is always an abundance of elegant, sophisticated furniture. This is due to the fact that during the heyday of the Rococo era, many specific pieces of furniture, variations of chairs, armchairs, and tables were invented. Try including a pair of vintage console tables arranged symmetrically, a bulging chest of drawers and an elegant psyche mirror hinged between two legs in your entryway decor.

And if there is enough space in the hallway, instead of a pouffe or a couch for a seat, provide a bergere chair or a medallion chair. These techniques will emphasize that the water zone belongs to the refined French classics.

4. Planning lighting

The main task is to find a classic suspension that is proportionate to the proportions of the space, and complement it with inconspicuous ceiling lights. If the mirror is planned to be built-in, you can complement it with a pair of sconces, also classic, or put two elegant table lamps on the small table.

Try to avoid single sources of second light, maintain symmetry. Avoid linear lighting, spotlights or trackers: modern design lights will look alien.

5. Choosing accessories

Since furniture in Provence style is expressive in itself, and the hallway is still a relatively small space, try to avoid too active decoration. The following can complete the space without the risk of overloading:

• plants in clay pots or on forged stands;
• pair of plaster figurines;
• vintage key holder.

Interior design of hallways and entrance areas in private country houses, mansions, cottages, residences

The house starts from the entrance area. It should indicate the good taste of the owners of the house, be both functional and aesthetic. The stylish interior of the hallway in a country house will set the tone for the design of the rest of the rooms. It is important that the entrance area reflects the general concept of the cottage, carries a certain semantic load.

The entrance area (entrance hall) is the "face" of the house, so its design should be given maximum attention. At first glance, it may seem that it is very simple to equip this room, but in fact, only people with excellent aesthetic taste can cope with the task. It is important that the interior of the hallway in the country house is not overloaded with details, but at the same time remains functional. Often the geometry of this room leaves much to be desired, so it is necessary to correct architectural flaws with the help of thoughtful design solutions. The entrance areas of modern cottages and mansions, as a rule, please with spaciousness, which allows you to embody any, even the most daring, ideas here. In the case of a compact space, which is quite rare in cottages, you can visually enlarge it using furniture with mirrored facades.

The well-thought-out design of the entrance hall of the country house plays a huge role, because it is here that the general impression of the cottage and, accordingly, its owners is formed. When planning the arrangement of the entrance area, due attention should be paid to lighting. Large windows in the hallway look impressive, they simultaneously perform several functions: they are a source of natural light and a significant element of the interior. With the help of lighting, you can zone the entrance area, but this solution is only appropriate if the room is spacious enough.

As evidenced by photos of hallways in country houses , this area often flows into the hall. The design of these rooms should be as similar as possible, otherwise there will be disharmony in the perception of the picture. The use of eclectic solutions, as a rule, is not recommended here, because they cause conflicting feelings that are inappropriate when you first get to know the house. Ideas for arranging the entrance area of ​​a cottage can be found on this resource, here you can also find out how to equip a bathroom in a country house or any other room in a cottage.

Country houses entrance hall interiors: choice of style

Thinking through the design of the entrance area, it is important to create a certain collective image of the house. The hallway should be designed in the style that dominates the cottage. If the owners of a home of ostentatious luxury prefer simplicity, then the entrance area should indicate this. The best option would be a country style that promotes a rural lifestyle, with its unhurried rhythm and desire for nature. Such an entrance zone will indicate to the guest that he has entered the realm of harmony and comfort.

The classic interior design of a hallway in a country house is appropriate only if the rest of the rooms are designed in a similar way. The luxury of the entrance area must be justified by the respectability of the rest of the rooms. This rule also applies to other historical styles that gravitate towards splendor, pathos and pretentiousness (baroque, palace style, empire style, etc.). Admirers of modern styles can use elements of the avant-garde, modern and minimalist trends in the design of the entrance area. All these styles have a common feature - conciseness. Such interiors are not overloaded with details, which is especially important for the entrance area. Regardless of style, the interiors of the hallways of country houses should be memorable. To achieve the desired effect, you need to choose the central element of the composition, which will hold attention. It can be a piece of furniture, an interior accessory or a decorative element.

If the rest of the rooms are decorated with the main emphasis on aesthetics, then functionality is also important in the hallway. It is necessary that beauty and practicality are combined here, and their tandem should be visible to the naked eye. So, it is necessary to choose such items for furnishing the entrance area, which not only fulfill their functions and give convenience, but also decorate the interior. Any entrance hall in a country house, photo , presented in this section, only confirm this fact.

Private country house with origami roof (30 photos)

Type: Private Object: House Total area: 1200 sq.m.

Concept

Borosa Group bureau leaders Oksana and Vsevolod Volkov admit that this stately house with original architecture and spectacular interiors was one of the most quickly implemented projects of the bureau with such an area. From the concept of architecture and interior design to architectural supervision, construction and interior decoration of a private building with an area of ​​1200 sq. It's only been two years.

The customer turned to the architects immediately after purchasing the plot – a large (0.4 ha), trapezoidal shape, with a fairly calm relief, several large birches, tall pines and a view of the forest from the south side. It was important to design and arrange the volume in such a way that it would be spacious enough and meet the technical specifications: a garage for 4 cars with a convenient turnaround area in front of it), a staff residence, a double-height common area, bedrooms for households and guests, a SPA area with a swimming pool and an outdoor a terrace facing the courtyard, as a place of attraction for the family.

Stylistically, the customer wanted a chalet, but not the usual traditional one with a lower stone floor, upper wooden and pitched roofs with large overhangs, but bright and unusual: modernist, with expressive architecture. And the architects found a non-trivial solution - a house with a soaring roof, half fanned out onto the inner garden, which resembles origami and gives the building dynamics and additional imagery.

“We offered the client two options for a three-dimensional solution: a more traditional one, with straight ridges, and a bolder one, in which, with a rectangular grid of axes and walls, the axes of the roof are rotated at different angles. The customer immediately chose the second solution, which went into implementation! The task was not easy, it was necessary to design different angles of the roof and take into account all the moments so that the house would not lose its minimalistic appearance and compositional harmony. The effect of a floating roof is achieved by kinks and rising roof lines. Moreover, from different angles, it looks completely different. In this geometric game, the facade only plays along with the roof with its vertical lines and panoramic windows that go under the overhangs,” the authors of the project say.

A two-storey house with a spa annex is a monolithic building with a frame filled with solid bricks. An LVL beam was used as the supporting structure of the origami roof. Outside and inside hemmings are made of natural tinted larch. In order to organize a drain, the valley roofs were designed with a slope, which further complicated its design. Slabs made of natural dolomite and slate, sawn in accordance with the layout and laid with alternating light and dark fragments, were used to finish the facade. The windows going under the roof complete the look of the house and open the interior to the landscape as much as possible.

Chinese house in the suburbs (33 photos)

Type: Private Object: House Total area: 295 sq.m.

Concept

Designer Irina Tatarnikova designed a country house, creating a bright and eclectic interior in which she masterfully combined the eternal antagonists: East and West, old and new, traditional and technological. The owner of the house, Anna Bessmertnaya, a well-known sinologist, connoisseur and propagandist of Chinese culture, whose professional life is closely connected with China, wanted to surround herself with a familiar atmosphere, but not turn her home into a museum.

Therefore, the designer suggested mixing numerous Chinese artifacts with European vintage and antique items, furniture of iconic brands and “no name”, which delight the eye and excite the senses. And combine all this polyphony with a color: pure, sonorous, joyful. “We wanted to fill the house with beautiful things and just chose furniture and accessories that we liked, not always understanding what room they would live in in the future. Much was made to order, much caused reflection. The process was lively, creative,” says the author of the project.

The architecture of the house itself is made in a modern way. “Customers purchased a standard project, and I joined at the stage when the “box” was ready: external walls, windows, roofing were installed, and the internal layout was outlined. Of course, we made a number of adjustments to the interior space, but we focused more on decorative tasks to fill the interior,” the designer notes.

Its non-standard and very imaginative architecture is the answer to the location: picturesque places on Nikolina Gora. “It is this light construction with a sharp roof, a patio area and a large roof terrace that is associated with the landscape of Nikolina Gora and corresponds to the historical spirit of the village, where neighbors always went to visit a friend, and interesting conversations, meetings, acquaintances took place on the terraces,” note the authors of the project.

The two-story house is a monolithic reinforced concrete structure with glass facades that work like large mirrors, reflecting centuries-old pine trees, a well-groomed garden with a pond, blue sky . .. A concrete volume of the garage is attached to the glass volume with a gable pointed roof. The flat platform above it is conceived as a floating terrace with a green roof. It visually increases the small volume of the house and connects it even more strongly with the natural landscape. A staircase sheathed with metal leads to the terrace, a brazier is built into the constructive column. The roofing is made of dark metal seam, the under-roofing space is decorated with wood of a warm shade.

The customer initially needed a guest house with a warm garage, and the presence of a patio and an exploitable roof turned it into a place for summer parties and family events, a point of attraction for family friends.

Concept

The team of architect Olga Kushnaryova-Leone rebuilt and designed a villa on the Cote d'Azur, creating a light classic interior with national flavor. A large family acquired a picturesque site with a height difference, a complex landscape and a chamber house in the center of a resort town in the south of France. The customers wanted to preserve the charm of the place, but make both the house and the garden more comfortable and cozy.

In addition, the garden needed to be redesigned, with a swimming pool and a relaxation area, but at the same time preserving the historical charm.

Country house in Snegiry (30 photos)

Type: Private Object: House Total area: 450 sq. m.

Concept

It took designer Natalia Popova almost ten years to create a country house for herself and her family, to turn a streaming Stalinist dacha into a neoclassical mansion with detailed decor, antiques and items that are significant for the family. “At one time, we really liked the place - the territory of the Snegiri rest house, where the estate of the Counts Kutaisovs with a classic main house used to be, and in the post-war period, typical Stalinist dachas were built. Pond shore, tall pines, romance…

My family got only the skeleton of the house: the walls along the perimeter, without a roof, rotten floors between floors. It was necessary to completely reconstruct the building. Irina Sazonova was invited as an architect, and a global reconstruction began with an eye on Russian classics, ”the author of the project notes.

Initially, the house was U-shaped, the architect proposed to extend a part of the front part and create a rectangular volume, thereby expanding the second floor. A large attic and veranda also allowed to increase the area. The work was carried out measuredly and in stages throughout the volume at once. First, the building contour was closed (windows, truss system, ceilings, roofing) and the finishing material of the roof was changed to soft bituminous tiles. Then we switched to engineering systems, which required a complete replacement, and then moved on to finishing work, which lasted several years. The interior took shape gradually, without haste. The designer repainted the walls several times, tried on vintage furniture, antiques and art brought from trips to find the right mood, the image that resonates most in the soul.

Dacha in Saltykovka for a large family (32 photos)

Type: Private Object: House Small house Total area: 350 sq.m.

Concept

Designer Natalya Maslova has built a large family house on a plot near Moscow, which has been owned by her family for several generations, which reminds of the old way of life and brings back to childhood. “The house in Saltykovka is a dacha where my great-grandmother used to live,” recalls the designer. – Since then, a lot has changed: the house was divided into two families and came to a state that could not be restored. And no matter how hard it was, we nevertheless decided to demolish the old wooden house and build a new, brick one, with all modern technical achievements in its place. But to preserve in its appearance the spirit of this place, which I remembered and loved from childhood.

The nostalgic style of the house was also influenced by its location: the house is located in the countryside and is surrounded by old summer cottages – a classic summer cottage settlement with streets named after great Russian composers. During construction, the designer tried to preserve the old trees and the general, familiar layout of the site as much as possible. The old apple tree, planted at the beginning of the century, remains, and a cherry alley has been added to it, which leads to the wing-workshop of Natalya's father, a famous artist and sculpture. They are complemented by lush lilacs, peonies and phloxes - traditional "country" flowers.

Built of brick, with brick internal partitions, it looks solid, and although the owners themselves affectionately call it a dacha, it is intended for permanent residence. Natalya's parents live here all year round, and on weekends and holidays, as before, the whole big family gathers.

White house in Balaklava (32 photos)

Type: Private Object: House Total area: 600 sq.m.

Concept

Designer Natalya Popova built and decorated a house in Balaklava for her old acquaintances, where she combined modern architecture, the historical culture of Crimea and the craft spirit of the French Riviera. The project began with the fact that the customers - a middle-aged married couple - decided to demolish the old country house, which was outdated in all respects, and build a new one in its place.

The family was expecting a replenishment, the long-awaited children (twin boys) were soon to appear, and they needed a functional house, made of modern materials, with a completely different layout, technical filling and mood. “For customers, Balaklava is a place of strength and love, they were born and raised in Sevastopol. Therefore, the answer to the question of where to build a house for yourself and your children was unequivocal. I wanted to create an interior filled with light, love for these people and this absolutely unique place where beauty and history are everywhere. Scythians, Tatars, Greeks – there is such a layering of different cultures and a sense of freedom… I wanted to convey this mood in the interior so that children grow up with a sense of inner freedom and pride in their land,” says the author of the project.

The building site was precisely defined, it was important to preserve the entire infrastructure of the site: swimming pool, barbecue area, favorite trees. The preliminary design was commissioned by Moscow architect Elena Pershina, who designed a three-story building on a mountain slope, with its entire facade turned out to a panoramic view of the valley next to the vineyards of Zolotoy Balka.
Construction was carried out by local specialists using traditional technologies for the Crimea and its cascading relief.

The frame of the house is reinforced concrete filled with aerated concrete, the roof is flat, unused with a parapet, it has a climate control system for ventilation and air conditioning, panoramic windows with an aluminum profile and energy-efficient double-glazed windows with UV protection. The facades are decorated with decorative white stucco, typical for this region. Balcony railings are made of tempered glass and do not block the luxurious natural view.

The architecture of the house refers to the aesthetics of constructivism: simple forms, large color fills, contrast of dark and light surfaces, plaster instead of stone cladding (expensive materials are not typical for this style). While the interior is an elegant mix of different styles: from American Art Deco to loft and chalet. To increase the original area of ​​the house and to give harmony to the facades, the architects added a glazed terrace.
