10 interior design trends that will shape our spaces in 2023 |

With a focus on enduring materials, sustainability and design pieces with permanence, the latest interior design trends for 2023 are anything but fashionable fads.

Of course, the very nature of trends is that they are ever-changing and developing, but the overall feeling for interior design in 2023 is curating an adaptable, comfortable, and inspiring space that can both stand the test of time as well as be at one with your identity and style.

Our edit of the 2023 interior design trends focuses on both the fresh ideas brought forward by designers as well as the long-lasting styles and influences that consistently remain at the heart of interior design.

We cover everything from color to shape, material to styling in our round-up of the top ten biggest interior design trends for 2023 and beyond...

1. The influence of the natural world

It's fair to say, that one of the biggest inspirations for many when it comes to interior design is the beauty of the natural world. From color palettes rooted in nature to the warmth of wood and the durability of natural stone, establishing an indoor-outdoor feel in the home can be both calming and relaxed and uplifting and energizing simultaneously.

Chris Pask, director at Charlton Brown says, 'our attachment to the great outdoors has increased in the post-pandemic era and we are seeing this translate into the world of interior design. Clients are increasingly looking for a greater connection to the outdoors, whether that is a literal connection via roof terraces, balconies and beautifully landscaped gardens, or more subtle nods to greenery and nature throughout the home. This can take the form of colors, materials and shapes that mimic those found in nature and are known to invoke a sense of calm.'

Beautifully shown in this small bathroom by Jamie Haller , the House of Hackney Zeus wallpaper perfectly complements the original dark wood features and creates an immersive, indoor-outdoor look that feels classic and modern all at once.

2. Layered lighting

Piero de Marchis, director at Detail Lighting says, 'homeowners are paying far more attention to the way spaces in the home make us feel, as well as their function. Our homes are having to work harder for us than ever before, with an increase in spaces having multiple functions. From open-plan living areas to kitchen-dining zones, the trend for installing multifunctional lighting that can be adapted to suit the room as it’s being used is set to continue to rise.'

Gone are the days of simply turning on the 'big light', 2023 lighting trends prioritize using a combination of various light sources in a space. From welcoming pools of light created through cozy table lamps and floor lamps to practical task lighting in a kitchen or study, the right use of layered lighting can transform the mood and atmosphere in a room, and ultimately, help us use our spaces better.

In terms of styles and lighting looks, Ed O'Donnell, co-founder of Angel O'Donnell says, 'arresting silhouettes and unusual materials will conspire to create increasingly imaginative lighting and statement pieces that’ll create strong focal points in the home. '

3. Plenty of textural elements

Using texture in interior design will be at the forefront of our decorating decisions in 2023.

More and more of us want to create a home filled with cossetting and cocooning exuberance, and quite simply, without texture, a space will fall flat, it is the perfect way to add depth, dimension, and decadence to a room.

This room by Heidi Caillier Design is abundant with texture and feels wonderfully welcoming and warm. From the mix of materials used across the furniture, from fabric to leather, to the wooden paneling, striped rug, and sheer curtains, the design is rich in cozy character and depth.

4. Seek out sustainable options

Mor Krisher, head of design at Caesarstone says, 'as designers we need to be the ambassadors of sustainability and the design community should be on the front line of this issue. If we don’t design with sustainability in mind, then consumers won’t have the ability to purchase sustainable products. '

Sustainable interior design is now more important than ever, and brands, designers and consumers alike are united in producing and consuming products that are better for the environment. From investment pieces built to last to products created through recyclable and renewable materials, sustainability is no mere trend in the world of interiors, rather, it is the start of an important new era of thoughtful design.

5. Curves and arches

‘Edges delimit and mark out a space – avoiding them enlarges the inhabitants’ freedom,’ says designer Patricia Urquiola .

Sharp angles have been making their way out of homes for a while, starting with upholstery and moving through to surfaces and architectural details. Now, organic curves and fluid forms are taking center stage in everything from lighting to sofa trends and more.

Smooth, rounded edges and curvaceous forms can create a more 'soft' look in a space, helping a room to look and feel more welcoming, relaxing and comfortable. In this dining room, elegantly framed by an arched entrance, the large, oval wooden dining table establishes an engaging and inviting gathering point in the space, with the Carl Hansen Wishbone Chairs beautifully mirroring the tables' curves.

6. Warming neutrals

The extensive use of gray and beige are amongst some of the worst trends of 2022 and one of the interior design trends we are quiet-quitting for 2023.

Instead, paint trends and color trends are moving towards more warming and earthy colors in the home, with palettes of pale pinks, soft yellows, and cozy browns working wonderfully as refreshing, new neutrals.

Interior designer Natalia Miyar says, 'delicate pinks, soft neutrals and warm browns are great to use if you want to achieve a natural, modern and uncluttered aesthetic, and they make any room feel cozy and comforting.

These colors can be used as accents in furnishing or the dominant color throughout a scheme. I find that the shades work best when paired together, as their warm undertones create a sense of cohesion between each color.'

Interior design powerhouse Studio McGee takes us through why statement stoneware is one of their top trends to look forward to in 2023.

'We love good veining and deep contrast in stone, and we’re excited to see more of this trend in 2023. We’ll see this in a variety of ways, from the stone itself – less common ones like soapstone and travertine, as well as contrasting pairings of stone in one space – to the way it’s utilized. It’s all about maximalism, a design trend in and of itself.'

The beauty of natural materials such as travertine and marble is undeniably timeless. Most commonly used for bathroom ideas and kitchen ideas, 2023 will see statement stoneware used across the home, from sculptural stone side tables in a bedroom to a stand-out marble fireplace in a living room.

8. A union of the old with the new

Alfred Newall says, 'design trends are ever-changing, but the way we make furniture is centuries old. My hope is that we marry the modern with the traditional.’

As we cast our minds back for the sense of comfort and assurance that familiarity brings, 2023 will see us breathing new life into historic pieces and uniting styles of the past with design trends of the present.

Charlie Bowles, director at Original BTC says, 'nostalgia has been a huge influence in the way people style their interiors. Social media has led to a resurgence of decade-related trends like brass fittings, unexpected pops of color and creative shapes. Mid-century styles mixed in with modern pieces give spaces a comfortably lived-in look.'

From decorating with antiques and shopping pre-loved furniture to embracing the revival of 70s decor across furniture trends, using an eclectic mix of the old and the new will only make for a home that feels more unique, characterful and authentic.

9.

Color confidence

With Pantone revealing their color of the year 2023 as Viva Magenta, and other brands, such as Benjamin Moore , listing their color of the year as Raspberry Blush , this celebration of bold and impactful shades of red embodies how 2023 is the year for color confidence and for embracing more unconventional and striking room color ideas.

'The past few years have dramatically changed people’s approach to their interiors and we are seeing consumers really finding their own sense of color confidence in their homes,' says Ruth Mottershead creative director at Little Greene .

Whether you make a statement with ceiling paint ideas or use the color wheel to curate a space rich with elegant contrast, beautifully shown in the living room above by Salvesen Graham , your home is a canvas upon which to decorate with the colors that bring you joy and happiness.

With thoughtful, sustainable design a key focus for 2023, as well as a nod to more nostalgic designs, these 'trends' will not only lead to us shopping more responsibly, but it will also see a rise in 'shopping small', and celebrating handmade, artisan designs and craftsmanship from all over the world.

The shopping experts at the ethical home retailer, The Citizenry , support this and say, 'in dissent from the uber-minimalist trend popular in recent years, consumers are shifting to a more eclectic collector’s approach to designing their spaces. Looking forward, this year, we predict consumers moving towards a more decadent, collected home. From Parisian opulence to Mediterranean layering, we expect to see an overlap with maximalism in terms of influence from other cultures this year.'

Through rough forms and rustic, handcrafted objects connected to ceremony, history and travels far and wide, we will turn (back) to a more slow, mindful living and ritualistic life.

Is gray out of style for 2023?

Gray is an incredibly versatile neutral color, and when used correctly, can work wonderfully in homes of all styles and ages, but, as the popular saying goes, too much of a good thing can sometimes become bad, and this is exactly what happened with the decorating with gray phenomenon.

Using too much of one color, such as a neutral like gray, can create spaces that feel cold and lifeless. When working with certain neutrals, we need accent colors and elements of contrast to make the space feel rich with character and depth. As we have discussed, we are moving towards a new era of neutrals, with gray and beige being replaced with more warming and interesting colors such as pink, yellow and even green.

As Martin Waller, founder of Andrew Martin says, ‘green is the new gray. The austerity of the gray, taupe age is over. It’s the age of all things emerald, lime, forest, pistachio, jade and sage in everything from wall colors, fabrics, cushions, headboards, rugs and curtains.'

Gray room ideas will never be out of style, they just need to be done right.

Are accent walls out of style for 2023?

Accent wall ideas are very much here to stay in 2023.

From beautiful wallpaper ideas inspired by the latest wallpaper trends, to a striking gallery wall, an accent wall can inject color, vibrancy and visual interest into a space.

One of the most popular ways to create an accent wall is through paint. From a simple block-color design to magnificent wall mural ideas, an accent wall can be a chance to truly get creative with color and artistic design.

Andy Greenall, creative director at Paint & Paper Library supports this and says, 'both consumers and designers are turning to color combinations that add drama and intrigue to a space, from neutrals in graduating shades which flow between rooms, to more dramatic color pairings.'

Modern House Styles | 6 Super Cool Examples

We are absolutely in love with current modern house styles!

That’s why we put together a list of our 6 favorites and the coolest examples we could find.

Modern homes can mean a lot of things. There are many trending styles right now in home architecture, and I want to share some of my favorites from last year.

Modern home design does not just mean sharp-edged, open floor-plan, minimalistic, all-white interior homes. For example, check out our plans to remodel this home’s modern interior.

The modern design falls into many categories, and in the midwest, some of them are more prominent than in other states. Beautiful modern homes commonly seen in Minnesota are farmhouses, craftsmen, ranch, log homes or lodges, cottages, contemporary, and the ever-growing, mid-century modern.

Here are 6 types of modern house styles:

Table of Contents

Modern House Styles 1: Lodge

One of our favorite types of modern house styles is this modern lodge in Shakopee, MN, by luxury modern home builders Sustainable 9. Chances are, if you don’t own one, you at least know someone who has a cabin in Minnesota, that looks like this.

A-frame lodges are commonly seen, but this modern lodge on Lake O’Dowd blows those out of the water (pun intended).

It has incredible architectural lines and dynamics but still holds that cabin aesthetic with the wood, stones, and all the windows to feel like you are IN the woods. What a great example of the beautiful modern homes in Minnesota.

Modern House Styles 2: Farmhouse

This modern take on the traditional farmhouse has us swooning! I can picture myself right now sipping my freshly brewed coffee on that porch.

This home by M House Development hasn’t missed a single farmhouse detail. Still, it has elevated the modern vibe with a black and white mixed exterior and mixed patterns, such as the board and batten on the garage door and the brick throughout the exterior.

What a beautiful example of a modern farmhouse!

Modern House Styles 3: Craftsman

The craftsman-style home has become more prominent over the last year or so. Architects and home builders have begun redesigning the craftsman and adding texture and different colors to the home’s exterior.

The basic design of a craftsman-style home is a front porch, columns supporting the roof, and a sturdy bottom getting smaller on top. This look is undeniable, and you can drive through any town and you’re probably going to find one!

This modern craftsman home combines the best features of a classic craftsman home with a new and improved look while keeping that rustic element you see in classic craftsman homes. The modern great room alone is enough for you to want to pack up your belongings and move in.

It is a beautiful aesthetic for a small family, with an open concept main living area complete with a kitchen, dining, and living all in the same space. I couldn’t love it more!

Modern House Styles 4: Cottage

Cottage homes date back to the middle ages when it was primarily a dwelling of farmers, laborers, or cottars, where we get the name cottage. The more you know, right?

The essential elements of a cottage include ground floor living space and sleeping spaces on the upper level, nestled within the roof’s frame. They are usually smaller and located in more rural areas, surrounded by trees and nature.

Cozy!

Built by Heydt Designs, this is a modern version of a classic cottage. It has the trees, the upstairs bedrooms, and the general aesthetic of a cottage but with so much more.

The bedroom balconies on the upper floor, with the port-hole windows, give it a very European feel, which is where this architecture originated. It gives the cottage a TON of natural light, even with shade from the surrounding trees.

The wood floors throughout and bright natural color scheme give it that clean, modern look but keep with the simple cottage aesthetic, making it one of the more understated and beautiful modern homes.

Modern House Styles 5: Contemporary

The rustic-but-contemporary homes in the Colorado Rockies inspired this modern contemporary home. I think they nailed it!

Contemporary is a reasonably recent design and refers to the here and now rather than past eras, which modern suggests when referencing the design style.

Contemporary homes contain more color, clean lines, smooth finishes, and lighter wood. Right out the gate, this home showcases a beautiful black siding exterior that contrasts incredibly well with the stone and cedar accents.

Adding splashes of color on accent walls or exterior paint is a big part of contemporary design. This house has a jade-green closet that is the epitome of luxury and stands out from the rest.

This home has added texture everywhere – from cloth wallpaper to wooden ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. Check it out for yourself.

Modern House Styles 6: Ranch

This modern ranch in Southern California contains all the crucial elements that define it as a ranch-style home. It has one level, a low-pitch roof, a unique layout, and all the windows you could want to let in the perfect amount of natural light throughout.

The one thing that makes this ranch home a bit more modern is removing walls that would separate the rooms. Instead, they’ve got a great room configuration that centers around a beautiful modern hearth fireplace, making it an open-concept house.

The vaulted ceilings make this home nice and open, and the exterior of that great room, with the cedar siding, gives a modern asymmetrical design that you will not find on a classic ranch home.

The list truly goes on and on when it comes to beautiful modern house styles. These are just a few of our favorites within some of the most popular types of modern homes in the midwest.

For even more inspiration and awe, check out local modern home builders Sustainable 9 and their past, recent, and future projects.

Introduction

Ash

Now is the time to talk about the new 2022 interior design trends. The latest trends partly correspond to the old ways of organizing space, partly bring the latest unusual combinations to the design world. If you want to breathe fresh life into the space of your apartment, you should learn more about all the fashion trends.

Trendy interiors in 2022 - main trends, colors, styles Wood, parquet board, natural stone, such materials are leading in the cladding of private houses and city apartments.

Interior colors that will be relevant are warm beige shades, contrasting black and white colors, almond and soft blue colors.

AMBERWOOD GRAY BLAND

In terms of style, although the classic style does not lose its relevance, in the new year, modern trends come to the fore. This is laconic minimalism, loft, modern, retro 70s and high-tech.

The combination of natural texture and high-tech technologies is a direction that has been rapidly developing in recent years. To the full extent, such a novelty of designer fashion is also applicable to the interior of 2022.

Materials

Finishing materials of natural origin are the main fashion trend. These are durable stone and wood. In the same row with these materials is porcelain stoneware. This material has a democratic price compared to natural types of stone. Porcelain stoneware is also less demanding to maintain than wood. Reliability, environmental friendliness and characteristics of these materials come to the fore.

Such materials are actively used in cladding and decoration of living space in the new year. At the same time, designers urge to use a creative approach and not be afraid to combine these materials with each other. So in the bathroom you can lay out tiles with marble textures and an accent wall made of wood, or vice versa. You can also add wooden furniture, decor or a stone sink here.

Onyx Clowdy

The choice of these materials suggests a deep, calm color palette with contrasts of whites and darks.

Onix Blanco

Textured glass when choosing materials is also a fresh idea for 2022. Such an interior component makes the room airy and elegant.

The use of textured glass:

• For decoration - here glass blocks replace a partition or a separate wall

• As a decorative element - decorations, dishes, vases made of this material have become fashionable again

• In the bathroom - embossed glass for a shower cabin or as door decoration.

2022 trends suggest contrasting combinations of rough and soft materials, slabs with noticeable relief and smooth surfaces. The texture and pronounced lines will add volume to materials that are monochrome in color.

Trendy colors

With regard to colors in 2022, the following distinctions can be made.

Trends keep the main contrasting colors white and black, as well as the traditional shades of gray, brown and beige.

Logos

Color schemes with these colors can be applied throughout the apartment - from the hallway to the living room. The combinations of white and black look especially elegant in the bathroom.

To make the interior more expressive, the palette of the listed colors can be diluted with shades that differ from them in the direction of brightness by 1-2 tones. Playing with these shades, you can set accents, divide rooms into separate zones and emphasize all possible elements.

White and light colors are said to make small rooms feel spacious. To give coziness, a good idea is to dilute the white color with dark shades. This combination can dissolve the boundaries of the room and make it even more comfortable.

Super Panda

Also in the coming year, interior shades of warm yellow are gaining popularity, which we subconsciously associate with sunny weather and good mood.

These include the following variations of yellow:

• Dusty ocher tan

• Narcissus shade Pantone 14-0850 Tpx Daffodil

Orange yellow sorbet photo0007

• Straw

Cool tones are also popular when decorating an apartment. These are a variety of cool options for blue, including sapphire. And also cool options of gray and green with quartz and malachite colors are relevant.

Apricot

You can use these colors as backgrounds in the apartment if you have enough sunlight. If there is not enough lighting, it is better to use these types of colors in moderation or buy furniture in these colors.

Apricot. The number of requests for this style on the Internet is growing every day. The fact that such a direction occupies the tops of trends is not surprising, since nothing superfluous is supposed to be in this style. In the flow of problems and an overabundance of information, people want the brain to rest at home and not be overloaded with unnecessary details. Minimalism, with its graceful simplicity and uniformity, fully satisfies our desires.

Cement

Functionality is the second essential feature of this style. We try not to clutter up the space with large unwieldy furniture and an extensive amount of decor. The ratio of 20% to 80% is the ideal proportion in this style for filling the room with furniture and accessories. The first indicator is how much space the furniture occupies, and the second is the free space.

The idea is that everything used should be multifunctional and applicable in different situations. So the tiles on the floor in the corridor should be moderately beautiful, durable, reliable, and at the same time should clearly separate the entrance hall from the rest of the apartment.

In a minimalist environment, they try to get by with 2-3 basic colors: white, gray and beige. You can use an additional brighter shade as an accent.

Zen interiors of intersect minimalistic direction with stylish oriental exoticism. This current design option is common in places for recuperation and relaxation - in bedrooms and bathrooms.

Here you can also highlight the offshoot of minimalism called "Japandi" is an organic combination of Scandinavian style and Japanese moderate approach to the organization of premises.

Important features of this direction are:

• Environmental friendliness

• Natural light colors

• Ergonomic and functional furniture

• Thoughtful storage spaces

• The use of raw, imperfect lighting that appears due to the predominance of natural textures

the open space of the room, the absence of blackout curtains, as well as partitions that let in light.

In general, minimalism is distinguished by clear zoning Room zoning Using a set of design techniques to create separate sections-zones within the space of one room.
rooms, planned interior without excessive decorations, clean lines, open spaces and increased lighting.

Remains popular sophisticated interior in Classic style . In this area of interior organization, symmetry, harmony and proportionality dominate. Here, natural materials are in the lead - parquet board, wood, natural stone, porcelain stoneware. The latter material is also environmentally friendly, since it is made from clay without chemical additives and is cheaper. Ceramic granite reproduces different surfaces close to the original, and under the guise of marble, onyx and granite perfectly decorates classic interiors.
Of the color schemes in the classics, pastel shades of color are used.

In contrast to the classic design, the interior of 2022 will also use the techniques of the Modern style with its smooth transitions and rounded rooms. The decoration here uses floral motifs, red, green, brown colors.

A variant of this trend appears in retro style from the 70s with a modern interpretation. It plunges into the bright colorful atmosphere of the past and helps to get rid of the problems of today. Old and solid vintage furniture is an important attribute of this style.

Modern style Loft will also be indispensable in the interior design of 2022. Here they use the actual thoughtful design. This style is characterized by dark colors: gray, black, brown in combination with white or muted shades of bright colors.
Such interiors use high ceilings, brick walls, open communications, minimal furniture, industrial decors, and multi-level lighting.

High-tech style Hi-Tech is firmly entrenched in the design market. In this area of design, metal, plastic, glass are used, along with dark shades of colors and straight geometric shapes. In this style, emphasis is placed on pragmatism and utility of the situation. New fashion trends offer a combination of this style with natural materials.

Room trends

The main emphasis in the arrangement of rooms is on multifunctionality. With the development of remote work, there was a need for a room to quickly turn into a personal office, and then again into a rest room. For this room, the apartments try not to overload with unnecessary details. This is especially important for small-sized housing, where extra decors create a feeling of tightness.

If the rooms of the house are small, you need to decorate the interior in light colors. In this case, you can use the Scandinavian style or the combined style of Japandi.

Kitchen

The kitchen is a place that all owners decorate according to their own taste. For those who want to try something new, the Loft style is suitable. All the techniques of this trend can be used here, including black and white color combinations, rough finishes and unusually shaped furniture.

Modern high-tech style is also appropriate in the kitchen. Since in this case it is possible to successfully combine technological devices with the situation. It is only better that in color and shape they correspond to a single style. The high-tech kitchen is decorated with a dark contrasting palette with metal inserts. In this case, the kitchen apron can be decorated with plates with a metal surface.

Living room

Living room is a place where people tend to spend a lot of time. In keeping with the presentation of the latest design trends, the living room should be spacious. Comfortable furniture of calm colors suits here. Stylish natural wicker furniture and rattan furniture are in an absolute trend.

Since the classic style holds the trend, you can apply it to decorate this room. High ceilings, rich finishes in neutral or light colors with a minimum of decorative elements - all this will look great in the spirit of a classic style. Separate brighter accents will help to revive the interior.

In a modern format, bright colors are relevant - white, sand, shades of green and blue.

Bathrooms in 2022 are increasingly focused on a combination of futuristic high-tech design and traditional eco-friendly interiors. This is facilitated by the latest technical elements - a "smart" shower, as well as partitions made of "smart glass".

Obsidian Moss Gray

If people used to use a large bathroom as the main part of the bathroom, today they prefer the idea of a high-tech shower cabin.

Smart glass changes its transparency from perfectly transparent to opaque. And if a few years ago such a technical innovation could be afforded by large companies for partitions in the office, now this current trend is gradually coming to the home environment, including bathrooms.

Bedroom

Design trends of previous years have smoothly merged into 2022 and received a new development in the directions of minimalism, classic, modern, loft and high-tech styles. All these styles take a course on the use of natural materials and natural textures, which are combined with technological elements of the apartment's furnishings.

When decorating an apartment in 2022, remember that beauty and style are in the details. Therefore, it is better not to rush to the trends, but to clearly think through all the elements of interior combinations and take into account all the details in the selection of materials, style and colors. You need to remember about the uniform style design of all rooms of your house, including the bathroom.

Then nothing will stop your apartment from becoming a cozy and spacious place for home rest and work in the new year 2022.

12 popular modern apartment design styles

No time to read? Watch the video!

1 Classic style

The classic style originated in the 17th century, but has not lost its relevance even after so much time. The style is changing, acquiring new features, and thanks to this, it remains relevant in modern interior designs of apartments and houses. More than half of Russians consider the classics to be suitable for the rooms in which they live. Consider what techniques you need to use in order to create a real classic interior.

Design: Barlow&Barlow Design

Wall decoration must first of all be neat. It can be smooth wallpaper, and coatings with laconic patterns: stripes, monograms and other decorations. The ceiling, as a rule, is decorated with stucco, but if you do not like to make it heavier or your house has very low ceilings, you should treat the stucco and decor carefully, it is better to leave it smooth. The floor is usually wooden. Of course, natural parquet looks better, but if you want to save money, you can find a worthy replacement among budget laminate manufacturers.

Choose pastel colors to make a room look majestic: beige, ivory and white work great. The latter is often used as the main one, for example, in the color of the walls, and it is also used to highlight details: furniture, textiles, decor. Bright shades will help to complete the interior: you can use red, blue, blue, purple and other "rich" colors.

Furniture must be solid, with textile or leather upholstery. Preferably from wood, but this will require a large budget, you can choose something more affordable from artificial material.

2 Scandinavian style

Scandinavian style, as its lovers call it, has come into fashion recently, but it seems to be for a long time. Scandinavian-style interiors are always minimalistic and budget-friendly, but at the same time homely and warm. The style is quite universal, there are no specific details, but there are many elements that will create comfort and coziness: light walls, minimalist upholstered furniture, green plants, textiles and useful, but beautiful decor.

Design: Ahre Fastighetsbyrå

It is the functionality that is reflected in the Scandinavian style. Suffice it to recall the words of the Finnish designer Alvaro Aalto that an architect should make life more convenient - this is the definition applied to the Scandi interior.

Another distinguishing feature of this trend is naturalness. It is best if the room has furniture made of real wood, textiles are made of linen, cotton or silk. Replace lifeless plastic chairs with wooden ones, even if you knock them together yourself: rough unhewn wood can be an interesting detail in your Scandi room.

Despite the minimalism, each interior should be individual, family photos, hand-made accessories, posters on the walls bring this property. It is important that it is not “decor for the sake of decor”, but a useful thing that reflects the character of the owners.

Although Scandinavian style should be dominated by light colors - white, light gray and baby blue - bright accents can add life to the interior.

3 Loft

The loft style distinguishes extraordinary personalities, somewhat ascetics, lovers of freedom and space. It is this direction that can emphasize the individual features of the owner, since the characteristic negligence of style makes it possible to roam fantasy.

Despite the fact that usually the loft requires space, today it is also being created in city apartments. It is desirable that the room is not the smallest and with a sufficiently high ceiling. Often, in the loft style, two-level apartments in new buildings are decorated.

Design: AMR Design

For a loft, the less decoration, the better. Ceilings and walls can be simply plastered to look like regular gray concrete. This style also loves brick - use a decorative material, but better for one of the walls. Often, the walls in such rooms are decorated with graffiti, road signs or a basketball hoop - this is done to create the feeling of an outer wall, raw and sloppy. Ventilation and pipes are also not hidden, but put on display, turning them into decorative elements.

Ring DFC R3

Such interiors do not need a lot of furniture, because the main decoration is free space. Often furniture is also a subject for zoning. For example, a bookcase can become a partition between the bedroom and the kitchen, and a bar counter between the kitchen and the living room.

4 Contemporary style

Contemporary is simplicity, restraint and functionality. Due to the fact that artificial materials and simple shapes are used in the interiors of such rooms, it can be created on a small budget.

The correct placement of furniture and the absence of unnecessary details distinguish this style, for example, from country music or pompous classics.

Contemporary style loves discreet colors (light beige, milky, gray and white) and modern materials. The flooring can be finished with laminate, ceramic tiles or plain carpet.

Furniture - only functional and simple forms. It should be comfortable and fit into the space, not create a feeling of clutter and not look too massive.

Do not forget about accessories, as they add life to the interior. You can use contrasting shades, but in moderation. Choose beautiful flower vases, hang a few pictures - you can limit yourself to this.

5 Minimalism

They say that minimalism in the interior should correspond to the state of mind. It is suitable for those who are in harmony with themselves and who do not need external attributes, but only silence, peace and order.

Minimalism is always thoughtfulness of space, folded composition, not just the absence of superfluous things (although, of course, you should throw out old furniture first of all). There should be few things in the room, but be sure to be functional and simple. Clear lines and shapes prevail. Adherents of this style believe that only by discarding all unnecessary, you can see the beauty.

The style of minimalism does not require certain rules in color. You can use cold colors of metal, and warm pastel shades, and wood. However, you should definitely take into account that one color is chosen for decoration, and others are added with accents. For example, a contrasting carpet on a plain floor.

6 Neoclassic

Neoclassic incorporates the beauty of the classical style and the features of modernity that a person needs today. Neoclassicism has been and will be a sign of good taste, it is laconic, but elegant and rich.

What modern features are inherent in neoclassicism? The use of modern materials and technologies is what designers like and opens up great opportunities compared to the classic style. Another advantage is a small budget requirement. You can use artificial materials and at the same time make a very aesthetic interior.

The color palette of modern classics usually consists of light tones, but there may be bright details of natural shades, flashy and "acidic" colors should not be. Neoclassical furniture design is also lighter, the lines are straighter, and the furniture itself is more functional.

The décor is also more restrained than the classics. In such rooms you can find fewer antiques, but at the same time in a small amount they will be appropriate and add luxury.

7 Ecostyle

Ecostyle in interior design appeared as a continuation of ecological thinking in all developed countries. Clean and fresh air, nature - this is what a person lacks in a metropolis.

When creating an eco-style interior, it is important to pursue the concept of “do no harm” to nature, so such features as the naturalness of materials, the desire for tranquility, maximum naturalness are characteristic. Use pastel colors, soft, relaxing. For example, a combination of blue, sand and white; green, beige and light wood; dark brown, green and white.

The main thing is not to overdo it with wood. Otherwise, you can turn the apartment into a wooden box.

Stone finishes, ceramics, glass will look good in addition to wood. Use natural textiles too.

8 Country

Country style today remains at the peak of popularity for lovers of measured pastime at home. Interiors in this style are reminiscent of "grandmother's house", where it is always very cozy, smells delicious of pies, and delicious tea is waiting on the table. Most likely, it is with such associations that country is often chosen for decorating kitchens and living rooms, and much less often for bedrooms. After all, it is the “family” rooms that should be cozy and hospitable.

The basic rule of a country style interior is to use colors from the "natural" palette. Wood, floral ornaments, natural textiles often prevail. A distinctive feature of the country room will be a large amount of decor: these are family photos in wooden frames, and many natural or artificial flowers, and soft pillows on sofas, and curtains.

If possible, you can organize a decorative fireplace in the living room, it will perfectly fit into the interior. In the bedroom - put blankets with various patterns on the bed. It is better to integrate modern technology into furniture so as not to mix styles, this will not be appropriate.

9 Modern style

Modern style is a broad direction, and therefore almost does not differ in special rules. Probably, for this, designers love him so much, because you can not limit the flight of fancy and then call it “modern style”. Nevertheless, we will try to bring some clarity and highlight a few theses.

Firstly, the main emphasis in the interiors of modern style is on the play of contrasts. Pastel colors are often used as a background: light brown, white, light gray. And furniture and accessories are chosen dark or bright. Due to this combination, you can make the right emphasis on the details and the interior will turn out “like from the picture”.

Secondly, the modern style is characterized by the ability to correctly combine artificial materials with natural ones. Thirdly, if we are talking about a living room, wallpaper or plaster is more often used as a finish. It is important to achieve maximum smoothness of the walls so that they become a kind of canvas for further creativity.

And one more feature - moderation in decor. The modern style is not characterized by an abundance of pillows, blankets, napkins on tables, curtains, paintings or photographs.

10 Hi-tech

Hi-tech will harmoniously fit into the modern pace of life - the style is simple and functional, technological, that's why most young and energetic people love it and choose it.

The basic rule of a high-tech apartment is a large number of technological innovations. This does not mean at all that you need to "stuff" the apartment with electronics and household appliances, high-tech rather requires the opposite - these innovations are not flaunted, they are invisible, but at the same time they are "responsible" for the comfort and convenience of residents. For example, blinds with remote control, baseboards with heating instead of a standard radiator.

It's clear that you don't have to flaunt your technological wealth. How do we understand that an apartment or room is decorated in high-tech style? First, it should have a lot of free space. There are few things in a high-tech house, they are all functional, take up a minimum of space and do not stand "just like that." If the apartment is small, you can make glass partitions in it or choose a free layout so that nothing hides the space.

Secondly, finishing materials. Natural ones are used very rarely. On the contrary, "in price" artificial materials.

And thirdly, the difference is in functional furniture. For example, a collapsible sofa or a bed that will be transformed from a single to a double bed. You can also often find a table-pouffe. Another feature of the furniture in its unusual forms. Often you can see details that seem to have arrived from space.

11 Eclectic

Eclectic is perfect for the temperament of modern creative people who have good taste. I would like to focus on the last point. Mixing different styles in the same room is not easy, so without the main ingredient it will turn out ugly.

Let's tell you a few secrets on how to successfully combine different styles and create a luxurious eclectic interior.

Choose a light wall color such as white or beige. This will make it easier to combine different colors of furniture and accessories.
Use the same patterns. For example, the color of upholstery and curtains. This will bring the subjects together and create a more harmonious picture.
Choose one different piece for a different style, such as dining group chairs or a chandelier.
Combine objects by shape. This will make it easier to combine different styles with each other.

12 Mediterranean style

The Mediterranean style in the interior seems ascetic to many, but this does not negate its comfort and originality.

One of the criteria for the success of the Mediterranean style is the right finish. The simpler - the better, such a rule dictates style. And it is desirable to choose natural materials. Perhaps the most typical solution for walls will be light decorative plaster. Wood or tile is usually laid on the floor (if it is a kitchen or hallway). Carpets will not fit into such an interior, unless they are small mats.
