Interior design 101 basics
Decorating 101 - Interior Design Basics
If you weren't born with the ability to imagine a room complete with furniture placement, wall hangings, and rug and accent choices, it is something you can develop and hone over time. Learn the basics of home decorating, including design principles, decorating styles, and answers to decorating challenges.
Interior Design Compared With Interior Decorating
Interior design and interior decorating are often mistaken for the same thing, but the terms are not completely interchangeable. Interior design is a profession that requires specific schooling and formal training, including space planning, furniture design, and architecture. An interior decorator does not have that formal training and focuses on the aesthetics and the surface appearance of a space. Who you would hire depends on whether you have any structural work or space planning to be done or you need someone to plan the decor only.
10 Must-Have Apps for Serious Interior Design
Elements of Decor
Your first step should be to select a style for your home interior. This will promote the design principle of unity and harmony, thinking of the entire home with a unifying theme. It can be as simple as choosing shabby chic instead of formal or traditional instead of contemporary. From there, you can refine it to a more specific style, such as French country, Tuscan, or modern Victorian.
Balance is another principle—distributing the visual weight in a room. You can do it symmetrically, as is common in traditional interiors, or with asymmetrical balance as seen in casual interiors.
Within each room there should be a focal point. In a living room, it could be the fireplace or a piece of art. It sets itself apart by scale, color, or texture.
Contrast and variety add visual interest to a room. Keep rhythm in mind with repeating elements of the same color, texture, or pattern, and a progression of sizes or colors.

Choosing a color palette is an essential part of interior design.
While you could have a different style and color scheme in each room, often you will want to tie the whole dwelling together. Consider the right colors for a small room as well as colors and patterns for a large room.
Patterns
Mixing patterns in home decor is one of the more advanced parts of interior design. Patterns do not have to match, but they need to complement and coordinate with each other. This is done by considering color, size, and scale.

A major pitfall that traps untrained decorators is editing. A good interior decorator can scan a room and understand what items work in a room and when something is too much, tasteful, or requires embellishment. A few tips in this area can make or break your room's design choices.
One room element that can usually use an editorial eye is how pillows are placed. Pillows can be a nice accent adding to the room's color story, or in some cases, even create a focal point for the room.
However, some people have a tendency to overdo it with pillows. Avoid overloading a sofa to the point that a guest has to move all the pillows just to sit down.
Choices of artwork can be important for a room, but equally consider how you display it. A rule of thumb is to set wall hangings at eye-level. Similarly, the height you set the chandelier matters. A common mistake people make is hanging a chandelier too high or close to the ceiling. Drop it low enough that it brings light into the room and is noticed. If you hang it above a table, make sure that when you sit up from the table, your or any taller guests cannot knock into it.
Furnishings are a big investment and account for a large part of the budget of room decor. If you are on a tight budget, there are some items you should splurge on. The two most important pieces of furniture—likely the items that will get the most use—are your sofa and bed. Spend more on those pieces. Save on area rugs, accent tables, and wall art.
A mixture of high-ticket items with less expensive options is a trick of the trade that makes the room still feel stylish without breaking the bank.
INTERIOR DESIGN BASICS | Nadine Stay
"I just don’t know where to start or how to pull a look together…" Does this sound familiar? I’ve been asked this question too many times to count and I understand why. If decorating doesn’t come naturally to you, it can feel totally overwhelming. But that’s what I’m here for - to give you the inspiration, advice, tools, and resources you need to confidently tackle your own home design!
So consider this post your official guideline for interior decorating basics - the fundamentals if you will.
I’ve touched on some of the following "design rules" in previous posts so I apologize if this is repetitive for some of you. But I think it’s nice to have all the ground rules in one post for easy learning. Shall we get started?
I’m starting a room design from scratch, where do I start?
Design by Amber Interiors | Photography by Tessa Neustadt
According to the 5 interior designers that I asked this very question to, the resounding answer was "start with the rug.
" It’s the most difficult aspect of the room to select and it’s even more difficult if you pick it last (after all the other pieces are in place). Pick a rug with a color palette that you feel comfortable with and go from there. Next, select the main fixtures - sofa, furniture, chairs, etc and work your way down to the little things like lamps, artwork, and paint. Yes, paint is one of the last things you pick because it’s far easier to match a paint color to a rug color than it is to match a rug to a paint color. You feel me?

Create a focal point
In every room, I like to create a focal point that the eye is naturally drawn to. In fact, before I make any major decisions about the room’s layout or furniture placement, I pick a wall that will become my focal point for the room. This doesn’t mean I just paint one wall a different color. The focal point can be a fireplace, an oversized piece of artwork, a feature wall with oak plywood planks or painted wainscoting, a wall of windows with floor to ceiling curtains, or anything that demands attention.
Once I pick a focal point/feature wall, my furniture layout is determined based off of that. My furniture should aid in moving the eyes to the focal point. (i.e. don’t position all your furniture facing away from the focal point and don’t block your view of the feature wall.)
Here are some focal points ideas →
Avoid furniture sets
It may be easier to select a living room or bedroom furniture set that all matches, but let’s think beyond that! Find pieces that compliment each other without matching. If you’re nervous about matching or pairing wood tones, I have a few easy tips on that here. And if you already own a set of matching furniture, I recommend you disperse the set between a few rooms.
Consider visual balance
Designing a room is all about visual balance. Whether you prefer symmetry (i.e. two lamps on both ends of the dresser) or asymmetry (a lamp on one side and artwork on the other), it’s all about leveling out the visual weight.
Think of it like a see-saw. You need equal weights on either end of the see-saw to stay balanced. If one side of the room has a lot of heavy furniture, the other side of the room would feel imbalanced with just a small chair. If one side of the room displays a lot of wood, the other side needs some wood characteristics as well to balance out the visual weight. Make sense?
Paint color selection
Picking a paint color can feel intimidating but there are some simple tricks to help the selection process. First, when looking at paint swatches, always view them in the room you will be painting. And look at the swatches upright vs looking down at them - the lighting can drastically change how the color looks when it’s not parallel with the wall.
Test paint swatches by ordering samples and paint them on your wall. This is an ideal way to get an accurate view of the color and again, do this in the room you will actually be painting.
I like to paint 24" squares on a white wall because a pure white backdrop allows me to see the samples' true colors. Anything other than a pure white backdrop will effect the undertones and how your eyes see the colors. I love "Nautica White" by the Nautica paint line (which can be found at Menards).
If you're going bold and painting an actual color (not just neutrals) I recommend going for muted tones. Highly saturated colors look even more saturated on the wall. I wanted hunter green wainscoting in our office so I picked a somewhat washed out brown-green paint swatch (City Arboretum by Valspar). However, on the wall it became more vibrant and appears to be a true hunter green.
Fun fact! If you fall in love with a color but it feels too dark, consider ordering the paint at a lower strength. For example, I found a beige paint color I loved (Accessible Beige by Sherwin Williams) but it was a smidge too dark so I ordered it at 75% strength to lighten the color. Decreasing the percentage will make the color value lighter without changing the undertones.
This is different than simply picking a lighter beige color swatch because every paint swatch has different undertones and some may appear more pink, blue or yellow.
Rug size and placement is everything!
Design by Amber Interiors | Photography by Tessa Neustadt
The rug is such an important aspect of the room design. Placement and sizing really is everything! In the living room - the front legs (or preferably all the legs) of your furniture should sit on the rug. A small rug that floats in the middle of the room is a no-no. In the dining room - you want your rug to be large enough that when you pull the chairs out, the legs are still on the rug. And in the bedroom - the rug should extend 24-36" from the sides and foot of the bed.
More rug size and placement guides here →
Let’s talk curtains
One of the most common design "mistakes" is artwork placement.
Let’s go over the basics -
If hanging art above furniture, position it roughly 6-8 inches above the furniture. The goal is to make it feel connected to the object(s) below it.
When hanging artwork on an empty wall, the center of the art should hang approximately 57-60" from the floor. Or if you’re an average height woman, an easier way to measure is to hang it at eye level.
If you’re pairing more than one frame, hang them 3-4" apart. Keeping the frames close helps the eye see all the art as one unit.
Think about scale - when hanging artwork above furniture, it should fill 2/3 the width of the furniture below it.

how to change the interior without spending
Sometimes we all want to update and refresh the interior. And for this it is not at all necessary to start repairs.

There are many easy and affordable ways to turn your home into your dream home.
Contents of the article
Living room
1. The room in which you both work and relax often seems too cluttered, so try to get by with only the minimum necessary furniture, preferring cabinets and sofas of simple design.
2. When you don't have enough space for a separate study or library, try to intelligently combine the functions of the rooms. For example, it is better to connect a library with a living room, since they are intended for general use, and besides, keeping books where they sleep is very harmful.
And it is quite possible to equip a home office in the parents' bedroom if the children are still small and do not use a computer.
3. To make a multifunctional room look harmonious, use unifying techniques. For example, cover work chairs with the same fabric as the sofa.
4. If you work in the living room, then due to the abundance of wires and office equipment, it may look too "office". To prevent this from happening, complete the decor with a secretary cabinet, which completely fits a computer, printer, all papers and CDs.
5. Use sliding panels, partitions, curtains to separate the workplace from the rest area.
6. In very narrow rooms, pay attention to the pattern of the floor - it is better if these are transverse stripes that optically expand the space.
7. Do not forget to emphasize the main purpose of the room: a living room with an office is, first of all, a living room, so the sofa, armchairs, coffee table, everything that creates an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort will become central in it.
8. Try to make your home office more comfortable, use accessories for office supplies made of natural materials - wicker baskets for papers, wooden glasses for pens, small vases for scissors and rulers.
9. Rearrange the furniture in the living room: turn the sofa and coffee table along another wall or push them to the middle of the room.
10. Use as many different baskets as you can, this is the best way to deal with clutter and decorate your home at the same time.
11. Turn a tiny dark room into a dressing room - wallpaper it, put up a bar with hangers, hang a small mirror.
12. Play up boring doorways - paint the architraves, make a border on them using the “napkin” technique, or glue old photographs and beautiful pictures, and then varnish them.
13. Show your children how proud you are of their success by making a flip calendar out of their drawings and hanging it in a prominent place.
14. Bouquets of natural flowers throughout the house are a pleasure available to us in spring and summer.
15. If you like light-colored interiors but still want to “colorize” it a bit, try using light, special multi-color lighting systems are now sold in stores - find the option you need.
16. Create the appearance of a collection - group several of the most common framed cards similar in theme (for example, photos of flowers or butterflies) on one wall - it looks very stylish and thoughtful.
17. Give an old wooden table or office a touch of class by painting it high-gloss white with spray enamel paint.
18. Add luxury to your living room by hanging full-length pleated curtains. Raise the cornice as high as possible, and slightly tuck the fabric on the floor - it looks extremely impressive.
19. Highlight the doorway by hanging a row of small pictures above it.
20. Paint the ceiling lavender or baby blue. This will add air to the room and visually increase its height.
21. In a house where a large family lives, you always need a lot of space for storing things - use the wall surface correctly - buy high cabinets with mezzanines or hanging shelves.
22. Creating a new image of the room, think about how it will look in the evening. For example, a laconic minimalist interior may look too cold and gloomy, so add "warming" details to it: small light bulbs, floor lamps with soft light or candles to make the room more welcoming in the evening light.
23. Set up an original photo gallery: paint all the frames with gold and silver spray. You will get a finished decorative composition.
24. In small multifunctional living rooms, use furniture on wheels to easily change the look and purpose of the room.
25.
Vases and bowls made of colored glass, placed around the room, catch the light and let colorful sunbeams all over the room.
26. Tip for small-sized apartment owners: hang large mirrors - they reflect light and make rooms larger and brighter.
27. Visually increase the height of the ceiling using curtains and vertical striped wallpaper. Use tall narrow cabinets and compact upholstered furniture. Try to hang the cornice at the highest possible height.
28. It is often very difficult for us to choose accessories - we doubt whether they will be combined with each other, whether they will fit furniture, wallpaper. A simple solution: choose one leading color, like burgundy, and pick up a lot of decorative gizmos in the same range, and when burgundy gets bored, switch to another color. Let's say green.
29. In small apartments, use the space above the doors - there you can make open shelves for decorative gizmos or books.
30. Dress up the cushions of a boring plain sofa with new covers made of fabrics with different textures and patterns.
31. If there are dark places in the room that visually hide the space, hang a large mirror that will reflect the light into this dark corner.
32. Replace ordinary switches with dimmers (switches with current regulators) - this will allow you to set any degree of illumination of the room, depending on the mood.
33. A cozy living room is complete without a good carpet. Our choice is a soft carpet with a low tightly twisted pile from a trusted manufacturer. The main requirements are that the carpet should be beautiful, pleasant to the touch and easy to care for.
34. Books create an impression of coziness in the room - do not hide them in blank cabinets - hang several open shelves in the living room, and those books that you are reading now can not be removed from the coffee table.
35. In large rooms, try not to use a lot of small decorations - they get lost and create an impression of disorder. Two or three large items of original design - a sculpture, a vase, a painting - look more advantageous and emphasize the volume of space.
36. Of course, no one will renew the floor every season. But, if you want a change, rugs and paths will help. This is a very trendy way to freshen up a room or divide it into zones.
37. Pale colors visually enlarge the living room. In addition, with the help of bright details, you can highlight certain parts of the room, diverting attention from those areas that you would like to hide.
38. If you want to draw attention to a work of art, such as a sculpture or a floor vase, install individual lighting for it.
39. When choosing a painting to decorate a room, don't get hung up on its artistic value. Much more important is the shape and color.
The main task of painting in the interior is to bring together and harmonize the entire design of the room.
40. An interesting variant of the game with color - paint only one wall with a certain color, and the whole room - walls, furniture, flow - in different shades of this color.
41. Gentle natural tones will make the interior more cozy and homely - they do not become obsolete as quickly as trendy bright colors or flashy fashionable designs, and they do not tire the eyes as much.
42. If you are the lucky owner of a beautiful view from the window, frame it like a work of art. Hang simple, sleek curtains that won't draw attention away from the scenery outside your window.
43. Pretty candlesticks look best when placed in small groups.
44. Want to liven up a neutral design room a bit? Make a colorful island, for example around the sofa. Bright pillows, a few colored accessories, pots of green plants - this contrast will not tire your eyes, but will really enliven and make everything around expressive.
45. Non-traditional design: paint three walls, and paste wallpaper on one - it will play and solo in the room.
46. The easiest way to change the interior is to repaint the walls, but for this you need to strain once and prepare the surface well for the first painting. It's not that easy, but then you can change the look of the room as often as you like.
47. Change your attitude to artificial flowers - they are back in fashion. Collect them in a dense bouquet and place in a vase, completely hiding the stems.
48. Are your sofa's best days behind you? Cover it with a beautiful bedspread or sew a cover - this will hide possible scuffs and damage and add new colors to the living room.
49. Express yourself: Decorate a piece of wall with your favorite poetic quote using a thin brush or a special lettering stencil.
50. If you are forced to sleep in the living room, hide the TV in a closet so that the room turns into a bedroom at night.
51. Home plants enliven the interior, take care of beautiful pots for them. This is a great decor item.
52. Is putting a bright carpet in the living room too radical for you? Then buy a small rug or track.
53. Reimagine wall decor by decorating it with an open shelf and placing unusual accessories and framed photographs on it.
54. If you decide to decorate the living room with a mirror, hang it low enough so that the furniture is almost completely reflected in it - then there will be no impression of a "slaughtered" space.
55. Hide computer wires all over the room - buy a special case that can store up to six cords at a time.
56. Buy design books for even more useful and simple ideas.
57. Great idea for sustainable decor: place a large wooden bowl of green apples on a coffee table or wide shelf.
Beautiful, natural, fragrant.
Bedroom
58. Do not forget that a table lamp is not only a functional element for lighting and reading, but also a magnificent decorative item that decorates the bedroom during daylight hours.
59. A high headboard is a great way to fool our eyes. It makes the ceiling higher and further highlights the bed.
60. In the bedroom, try to combine fabrics of different textures - silk and velveteen, glossy and matte. This produces an impressive effect, expanding and visually saturating the space.
61. Add romance by hanging a white mosquito net canopy over the bed on a round frame.
62. Make your bedroom more cozy - use as many ribbons, laces, bows and flowers as possible in the decor.
Bathroom
63. Despite popular belief, a wooden floor in a bathroom is quite appropriate.
It needs to be coated with a special varnish - this is quite expensive, but it is durable and truly chic.
64. By mixing old and new items in the interior, you will create eclecticism, but by adding one new item to the old or, on the contrary, one old to the new, you will make your interior truly chic. For example, hang an antique mirror over the sink in a modern bathroom.
65. Think of the bathroom as a complete room - start with decoration. Hang a picture or a large photograph on a free wall. The main thing is that it must be framed very securely so that fumes do not get under the glass.
66. Turn your bathroom into a spa. Hang up fluffy towels, buy natural soaps, wooden accessories, and wicker baskets.
67. If your bathroom has a window, it is best to decorate it with metal blinds. They go well with shiny chrome faucets and accessories.
68. Have several light sources in the bathroom - one for bright lighting, the other for intimate light around the mirror.
69. Pay attention to the color of the bathroom - it is desirable that the curtain, rug and towels match each other in color and design.
70. Replace the faucet in the bathroom with a more modern model - it's not difficult and not very expensive, but the effect of the upgrade is huge.
71. Let the kids be designers and stick special bathroom appliqués on plain tiles.
72. The bathroom is a great place for fresh flowers, just try to choose plants that need very humid air.
73. If you keep washing powders and bottles of detergents and cleaners under the sink, buy a plastic box with a tight lid and put all the jars and bottles there. So it's more hygienic and neater.
74. Give your bathroom a touch of sophistication: buy small glass bottles from decorators or antique shops and fill them with all your tonics, lotions and gels. Your shelf under the mirror will look like a 50s Hollywood movie boudoir.
Kitchen
75. Good lighting is a must in any kitchen, but don't just focus on the work area. Highlight the dining table with soft light - this will add coziness to the evening meal.
76. A large number of reflective surfaces will help to compensate for the small size of the kitchen - glass, glossy enamels, metal.
77. In a small kitchen it is better to use utensils with curved edges. They make our eye move along a complex trajectory, and we psychologically perceive space as more extended and deeper.
78. Give your kitchen a new look by sewing chair covers. Look through decor books and among the many models of cases, find the one that will meet all your requirements.
79. The best way to protect your dining table is with plastic plate pads, they are back in fashion and on sale, so you can always find something just for your interior.
80. A bit retro - don't buy a full set. Equip the kitchen with open shelves and cabinets without doors, and close them with thick curtains. Stylish and very comfortable.
81. Remove beautiful large plates from the cupboards and hang them on the wall. Nothing will prevent them from being removed from the nail at the right time and used for their intended purpose.
Children's
82. Frame several children's drawings in good baguettes and hang them on one wall - you will be surprised how worthy and finished works children's works can look.
83. Make a graffiti zone - paint a section of the wall with special matte chalkboard paint. Let the children draw.
84. Turn the curtains into a treasure chest — sew multi-colored pockets on the fabric, in which the kids can put all the little things they need.
85.
Give the kids an adventure: buy a carpet or carpet from a special series: lined like a race track or with a plan of a mysterious castle.
86. Paint the ceiling in the nursery blue and draw the sun and clouds, or even better, attach them on threads, cut them out of thick paper and color them.
Hallway
87. Divide the cramped corridor into the actual entrance and residential areas. Lay 1-2 meters at the threshold with ceramic tiles. Those who enter will clearly see the border that should not be stepped on in street shoes, and besides, tiles are easier to care for than parquet or laminate.
88. Buy a new entrance mat - with an original pattern, bright and cheerful.
89. In a small apartment, change the swing door to the room for a sliding one - you will take a few centimeters away from the corridor, but give the room almost 1.5 meters of free space.
90. If you have old built-in wardrobes in your hallway, replace all doors with shutter doors. This is both beautiful and functional - fresh air constantly enters the mezzanines and closets.
Saving money
91. Black and white photographs, whether yours or movie stars of the last century, are a great way to make any interior stylish. Insert them into frames of various shapes and hang them along the wall - it seems that this is a family collection that has been collected over the years.
92. If you are going to repaint something in your house, buy a base paint that is suitable for all surfaces: in case you want to update something else along the way, then you will only have to spend money on the right color and extra brushes.
93. You dream of a new bed, but it's too expensive. Saving Tip - Buy a used metal headboard from a thrift store and have it refurbished, or have your husband build a plywood frame and then upholster it in luxurious fabrics like silk, velvet, or faux suede.
94. Cheap and effective: update the walls in the nursery by buying a bright border with large drawings and sticking it directly on the old wallpaper or cutting out individual motifs.
95. Instead of wasting money on buying new facades for a boring kitchen, refinish them with a readily available self-adhesive film or paint on plastic.
96. Throw pillows are a great decorative element. They don’t have to match the color of the sofa at all - it’s better to enliven the room and change them into cheerful multi-colored covers.
97. Don't throw away your old wooden chairs - now it's a very fashionable piece of furniture. You just need to sand them, and then paint them in bright rich colors, or use white paint and a sponge to achieve the effect of aging.
98. A good solution for a bathroom is to decorate it all with the simplest white tiles, and to avoid the impression of sterility, dilute the whiteness with warm-colored accessories.
99. Give an old refrigerator a new lease of life by repainting it in a fresh, cheerful color with a special paint that is sold in good hardware stores. Nothing needs to be sanded or sanded - degrease the surface and apply paint. Very fast and simple.
100. Decorate the curtain in the bathroom - buy colorful ribbons and attach them to the rings on the outside.
101. Draw attention to the windows - buy new original cornice tips.
Styles of apartment design, basics and approaches in interior design Moscow
Keeping pace with modern technologies and innovations, keeping up with improvements in the field of construction, the interior of our homes and its assessment are changing. The pompous styles were replaced by simplicity and practicality. Minimalism, constructivism, conciseness, naturalness - these are modern design basics . More light, more space, more freedom - this is the approach to achieve the goal now.
Using a variety of modern materials, you can create a high-tech corner. It combines functionality and technological innovations, straight lines and simplicity of figures. This style is used mainly in office space, exhibition pavilions and commercial buildings. For the interior of apartments, it is rarely used in its pure form. But on the other hand, it is ideal as an addition to other styles.
Everything is simple and not enough – this is the principle of minimalism. The style is characterized by the ease of forms, simplicity of materials and almost no decoration. A lot of ball lighting, light colors - all this will help add light and airiness to the atmosphere. The addition will be the use of wood, brick and glass. You can divide the space into zones using furniture elements. The basis of this style is functionality.
Ecostyle will help you feel freshness and unity with nature. Today, this style is gaining momentum and is the most sought after. His unshakable principle is naturalness and naturalness in everything. Do not get carried away and litter the interior with decorative elements. For such styling, the use of chipboard, plastic, metal is not typical. Dishes here are made of faience or colored glass without large patterns.

Combining the incompatible, combining the incompatible is the basis of the shabby chic style. The interior of creative people - photographers, artists, writers, other creators. The design brings together beauty and wear. This is the style of a separate zone or room, but not the whole room. The complexity of decorating here is to demonstrate the liveliness of the situation and not turn it into a junk shop.
A quirky twist on modern design is pop art. Embodies expressiveness, contrast, saturation. For him, the most important are the multicolor of colors, the duplication of objects, the brightness of forms. To create an interior, any intricate little thing is suitable. A repeating drawing at a different scale and color scheme different from the original is what is needed for pop art.
Protest to standards and everyday life, harmony in everything - this is the motto of postmodernism. Style is great for creative imagination and originality. Symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes are suitable for the interior. Outlandish figurines of various materials, plants and dried flowers in pots of various geometric shapes. Everything should be in moderation and appropriate.
Keeping up with the times means choosing modernism. The style carries the use of the latest technologies in the interior and architecture. A characteristic feature of the situation is the functionality and clarity of zoning lines. Choosing modernism, you will have to abandon all generally accepted rules and move on to a modern way of life. The accent of the style is the constructions that they previously tried to hide: communications, stairs, supports. When decorating, they remain natural.
Art Deco style is synonymous with efficiency. Combines together classicism, symmetry and straightforwardness. The style of luxury and chic, emphasized geometric patterns and expensive newfangled details. Art Deco does not need minimalism and moderation. All decorative elements should be a subtle touch, and not be an intrusive component of antiquity or oriental styling. Demonstration of antique decorations and individual pieces of furniture will advantageously emphasize the material wealth of the owners of the premises.
Country style will help you find yourself in a cozy, warm and romantic country house. It carries the slowness of life and a comfortable pastime in the family circle. You don't have to live in your own home to create style. So it will be possible to create freedom from the modern world, to give yourself special comfort. The style is based on all the traditions of a rustic setting. A spicy accent will be a fireplace or stove made of natural stone. The absence of expensive decor, crackling wood in the fireplace, a rocking chair and a warm blanket are the main approach to country style.
Today no one is surprised by ingenious plasterboard constructions and artsy ceiling moldings. It is better to aim at clear and logical lines, three-dimensionality of the environment. Focus on the spaciousness of the room and maximum access to sunlight. Restraint of colors and naturalness of materials, flashy tones and cutting-edge technologies - everything is suitable for creating a modern interior design.
