Cottage interior design

The interior style of modern cottages is often created from certain elements of various styles, but in most cases they are implemented through the use of progressive finishing materials.

The use of modern household appliances can also radically change the appearance of each room, so its choice should be approached with the utmost responsibility. Today, using the example of implemented design projects for various rooms, we will consider the types of stylistic directions that are most appropriate to use. Important nuances of interior decoration will be considered, where all family members often visit, that is, kitchens, living rooms and dining rooms.

It is impossible to say how many years the interior design industry has existed, but we can say with full confidence that there are a huge number of adherents of strict classics. The use of unusual forms, expensive furniture, in which modern technology is built in and other elements, makes it possible to adhere to the classical direction, but at the same time not move away from progress. The main advantage of a classic interior is its visual simplicity, but the functionality should be used to the maximum.

Practicality and simplicity are qualities that attract almost every compatriot who owns a luxurious cottage or a spacious country house.

A bit about modern classics

If we consider the same room, made in a modern classical style this year and in it twenty years ago, then they will radically differ in their appearance. This is facilitated by the use of innovative materials and technological furniture, which radically change the appearance of the room, provided they are used. A couple of decades ago, all this simply did not exist, so simpler materials had to be used.

For example, it was previously customary to install fireplaces in living rooms, while they were active, but today they are being replaced with decorative counterparts. This did not particularly affect the perception of the interior, but this attribute, as before, is a reference to self-sufficiency and luxury. It is worth noting that the classic style itself implies a reference to luxury and comfort in all manifestations, but at the same time these qualities should be hidden under an elegant shell.

If we talk about modern classics, then it can very harmoniously manifest itself even in the most modest interiors. Often designers resort to the use of light colors at the stage of finishing work, simple stucco molding in the ceiling area, as well as the installation of a large number of upholstered furniture.It is difficult to imagine a room in such a style without a beautiful chandelier, therefore, its choice must be approached with full responsibility.

If you want to achieve the effect of maximum luxury, then it makes sense to complement the classics with elements of baroque and rococo. If the ceilings are high and richly decorated with stucco, and the doors are large and transparent, then this will radically change the atmosphere inside the room. A chic interior will also look harmonious, since each of these styles is able to complement each other with certain notes. Note that it is important to create an environment inside the room so that there is no feeling of being in the museum, and this is very difficult to do. Sometimes you have to trust this business to professionals, because only they know what should be emphasized and where exactly it will be appropriate.

Kitchen in classic style

If we talk about classic-style kitchens, then storage areas and a kitchen island should still remain in their usual places. Wardrobes can be simpler and not overbearing, but it is very important to pay attention to the presence of a large crystal chandelier.

It can be decorated with a large number of decorative elements to draw attention to itself. Designers often agree that it is appropriate to use simple wood cabinets, natural stone countertops, as well as wooden floors. On the one hand, it will be possible to achieve the maximum effect of surprise, although all these things will be made from natural materials.

Notes of minimalism

Many clearly understand that the style in its modern manifestation invariably gravitates towards practicality and maximum functionality. It is the style called minimalism that is ideal in this case, as it meets all the required parameters.

A few years ago, our compatriots were often scared off by this style, because it seemed to them that it was simply impossible to live in such an environment, because the living area was small, and there were no elements of luxury at all, even fake ones. As for our time, now the owners of large-scale suburban real estate are showing considerable interest in this style, since with its help it is not difficult to achieve functionality and beautiful simplicity. Designers often use furniture attributes to a minimum, but they are all extremely functional. Due to this, it is possible to win a lot of space, which ultimately breathes comfort and coziness. If you correctly place accents in each room, then the whole building will look extremely harmonious.

The main feature of this style is the presence of spacious rooms, which are decorated in extremely light colors. If the living room has a large area, then it will be quite enough to place comfortable upholstered furniture in it, and it will not be superfluous to hang a large TV opposite. Nothing else is required to create a basic atmosphere within this room. Several decades ago, it was customary to move all the furniture to the walls, and people did not even think about the fact that they could be placed in the center of the room. In most cases, this circumstance was directly related to the mentality, as well as the small area of ​​the rooms. In order to save space as much as possible in each room, it was necessary to take maximum measures in order to carve out every free meter.The situation in our time has changed significantly and spacious apartments with country houses allow you to furnish each room as you wish. It is possible to resort to any style of decoration and there will be no complications.

As for the small rooms that can be found in a cottage, they can also be decorated in a minimalist style. It will be enough to finish the walls in light colors, use wooden flooring, as well as modern furniture. It will not be difficult to arrange even a separate reading corner so that it harmoniously fits into the interior of a small living room. No need to use bright textiles, because the atmosphere of cold and alienation will immediately appear. There are a considerable number of elements, the use of which will be unjustified.

Using a double-sided fireplace

Next, we will talk about two different images of living rooms, which are decorated in a minimalist style. They are united primarily by the presence of a double-sided fireplace. Its main advantage is that you can watch the flame for a long time from different rooms. Furniture is used to a minimum in order to maintain the proper functionality of the room.

The use of this style of decoration often involves the formation of storage areas through the installation of unremarkable cabinets, often without even handles. This is a great opportunity to disguise a large headset at no cost, and light finishing materials will help solve this problem.

Canteen

This room should always be spacious and made in bright colors. In fact, only a fairly large dining table and a few chairs should be placed to achieve the desired functionality. You should also use a number of soft accessories as a supplement, and place a few unusual lamps on the upper part of the walls. This will be enough to form a modern interior, characterized by an extremely comfortable shell.

Returning to the theme of decorating living rooms, it is worth noting that quite often people who simply cannot understand which stylistic decision they are most inclined to prefer to dwell on an eclectic style. At first glance, it is the aesthetic simplicity that attracts everyone, but if you delve into the essence of this style, then there is also functionality with comfort.

Designers always pay attention to the fact that if several styles are used simultaneously, it is very difficult to achieve the desired harmony. If you use all sorts of items that you brought from around the world, bought in nearby shops and other things that have nothing in common, then it will be simply impossible to achieve conciseness. The living room should perform one function - to have rest for all family members and guests. If it looks more like an exhibition hall, then there can be no question of any comfort. If you are not sure that you can take into account all the nuances on your own, then it still makes sense to seek help from qualified specialists.

If you have firmly decided to use the eclectic style at the stage of decorating the living room, then you should use a variety of furniture attributes that are characteristic of different eras. It should be distinguished by an unusual decor and at the same time converge with the main color palette.The peculiarity of the eclectic style is that a kind of hooliganism is often allowed and such a decision looks very appropriate. For example, instead of a fireplace familiar to everyone, you can resort to installing a stove finished in light colors. The surrounding space can be specially decorated with a bias towards deliberate negligence, and such a solution will look very concise in the end. There should not be any strict limits here. Turquoise and emerald shades will create a very positive atmosphere with festive notes. The use of multi-colored and bright furniture against the backdrop of a bright room will be very appropriate, since it is on it that in this case the main focus will be placed.

Use of country style

No matter what style you decorate your cottage in, there will always be a place to use a number of country-style items. It is to some extent positioned as a universal one, as it goes well with most other common styles. If you give preference to the introduction of elements of this style, then in the end you will need to use the maximum amount of natural materials, and the rooms are partially finished with wood and stone. As a result, you will achieve a cozy and warm environment with minimal financial and time costs.

Environmentally friendly finishing materials are becoming more and more popular every year, so many of our compatriots are increasingly resorting to decorating their country houses in this style.

Of course, if a modern apartment is finished with large natural stone, then this decision may look illogical, since your housing will look more like rural apartments, but if we are talking about decorating cottages, then you can make such decisions safely. Many rooms decorated in this style would be an adornment of any hunting lodge, but at the same time they fit very harmoniously into the interior of modern country houses.

Despite the fact that natural finishing materials will be used in large quantities, modern functionality and comfort will always be preserved inside the premises. You can form a soft zone if necessary, but it is advisable to use options trimmed with genuine leather. Textiles can be used almost without restrictions, but at the same time it must be bright and outstanding against the background of the used finishing materials. Ultimately, you can create an extremely comfortable atmosphere where you will always want to return.

Use of Art Nouveau

Here you need to adhere to a soft color palette, the most natural shades, and also resort to the use of progressive decor elements. This option for many residents of our country is the most optimal. You do not have to burden yourself with significant material investments, but at the same time there will always be confidence that you will always want to return to such a house.

In this style, a bedroom or living room can be decorated, as the atmosphere in these rooms will be charming and warm. In bedrooms, it is recommended to finish the walls in gray tones, as they will contribute to peace. Modern furniture will be conducive to reading or the desire to sit in plenty by the fireplace.

Often rooms in modern living rooms have a fairly large area, as well as high ceilings and large window openings.This contributes to the achievement of the most productive natural light, which is complemented by light-colored wall decoration. It is important to use contrasting decor elements so that all rooms do not look standard. The cottage does not have to be all finished in a particular style or a combination of several of them. Designers often experiment and achieve excellent results by combining different solutions that at first glance may simply seem inappropriate. Using a single bright accent will radically change the atmosphere inside any room.

Contrasting interiors

Many agree that decorating with a contrasting palette is invariably attractive due to its non-traditionality. The person who first comes to your house will immediately notice the features of conservatives in terms of decorating the home. If you like order in everything and intend to constantly maintain it, then it is recommended to choose an option with a light finish of the room and the use of contrasting elements. Often our compatriots choose this option and invariably remain satisfied with the decision.

It makes sense to get acquainted on the Internet with examples of ultra-modern interiors that are filled with unconventional notes. Often you can decorate several rooms in the same style, but it is important to remember. That accents should be minimal, because otherwise their abuse can radically change the situation inside the building.

Today there is a wide choice of innovative finishing materials, so it will not be difficult to realize even the most daring ideas. As for modern furniture, its range is simply huge. Under the order, you can make even the most complex products that will decorate the interior or even its main component.
