Most interior designers are faced with the fact that their new customer does not know what he wants and what he likes. But certainly should have beautiful, comfortable and functional. And it is quite normal. Try to figure out how to find your style of interior, the atmosphere in which you will live with pleasure.
Watch TV shows, leaf through magazines
Good help in the selection are TV shows, online or print magazines. They provide a visual representation of the interior, thanks to them, you can see examples at once and mark favorite.
When viewing the gear you see in the interior volume, which creates the effect of presence. You can feel your own eyes the height of the ceiling, piling furniture and illumination of the room. Do not forget to pay attention to the little things, such as a free-standing furniture or decor, a particular color or finish. Even one thing can set the mood.
Transmission and magazines are updated frequently, talk about fashion trends that will help keep pace with the times.
Resist the temptation to buy all the furniture one collection. It looks perfect only in gloss and in the life of this furniture will be boring and tasteless.
Pick up a variety of furniture, but not disputing among themselves or for decoration or in style. An exception can be taken separately objects, such as a Chinese vase in the English interior or a crystal chandelier in the brutal loft.
Life, geometry, finish
Decide the need of technical equipment. Perhaps you will come to the conclusion that the direction of high-tech - this is what you seek: a maximum of clever and useful, that is, modern smart chips integrated in the interior.
In addition to the necessary things do not forget that you generally like. Listen to the call of forms: direct and clear lines lead to minimalism, smooth roundness tend to be classic, sleek translate into Futurism.
And to understand what suits you from finishing materials, call for help all his five senses. Breathe in the smell of the wood - use the parquet and ekootdelku. Feel the breeze of the sea and the sun's rays - paint the walls in warm colors cheerful tones. Feel the power of metal and see through the transparency of glass - dive into the world of the industrial loft. Touch the cracks of old products - as if from the chest to the shabby leather got hints of Provence and retro. Close your eyes, imagine, remember like it.
Do not give up the strict geometry of the reasons that the corners are dangerous for children, and of tactile surfaces pleasant to you because of sharp claws pet.
About firm circular surface can be just as much impact (besides there are many ways to minimize these risks). And it is impossible to avoid the deterioration of finishing on time, unscrupulous neighbors above or cracks from shrinkage at home.
The weather outside, the colors inside
Think Scandinavian interiors (eg, IKEA design). In Scandinavia, most of the time a cool, damp, overcast. Weather echoes and interiors - light or dark, but low-key, with the cool shades of white, gray, blue. Monotony diluted with accents. Yellow chair among odnolikih furniture neighbors, funny intricate prints among the woolen rugs and carpets, natural wood to give comfort, lots of greenery as a juicy note.
Spain, Mexico, famous for explosive temper, variegated colors woven into their lives for a long time. Just look and traditional interiors. Residents of these countries do not get tired of bright fabrics, furniture and decor.
In the Mediterranean, it would seem, as the sun that I want to go in the cool shade of the house. But no, its residents and the home run a lot of light and cheerful colors - yellow, terracotta. If the walls and look background, white, make sure you pop up the traditional attachment to a particular color, such as the Greek blue.
Brainstorm on "Like" on your favorite color, accents, mood.
Colors can freshen up the interior and make it worse, if chosen incorrectly.
In order not to make a mistake, select the two main colors, it is advisable to do at least paint the format A5. Attach painted different colors to each other and make sure that they are interconnected combined. Pick them neutral colors with little difference in tone - this will be the perfect backdrop for the maintenance and the allocation of the two selected primary colors.
