Cabinet in the British style. Cabinet design in various styles

June 2, 2016
You can talk long about the canons in design, but every day the existing canons are becoming less stable. Aesthetics and harmony, balance, color gamut, materials collected together, in order to obtain such a long-awaited result are an essence of your knowledge, practitioners and self-development. My motto is to find out every day, see, touch something new, and I am sure that it is possible to keep the right course in the "high design".

In my consciousness, the concept of "Cabinet" is inextricably linked with English detective classics. And the walls, decorated with wooden panels, cabinets, topped with books, old furniture, table, covered with green cloth and his owner, are pretty on you sullenly. It's all elementary, Watson! Of course, not always the design of the office in the apartment looks like this.

But as? I'll tell you about this.

Depending on the functional load, I share offices for 4 categories:

• workplace;
• cabinet-workshop;
• meeting room;
• single room for solitude owner.

The principles of choosing a room

1. Cabinet should be cozy and quiet - This is a prerequisite. I might safely be able to call a separate extension to the cottage or private house. This approach will allow you to organize a separate entrance, actively take visitors without the likelihood of disturbing households.

1. The idea is no less attractive - to organize a Cabinet in the attic. Here you and silence, and peace, and isolation. With the latter it is worth it to be neat so that there is no abyss of the family life at all.

1. If you do not have a large area, and you will have to choose from the apartment rooms, give preference to the one that is in maximum distance from the dining room, kitchen and children's.

If the "Neighborhood" with small noisy neighbors can not be avoided, take care of reliable noise insulation.
I would recommend using "Shumannet", which is an acoustic mineral plate.

1. For a cabinet, in which you will often receive guests, choose a room located next to the hallway.
2. The optimal neighborhood, allowing to alternate recreation and work, is the arrangement of the office near the terrace, a balcony or a winter garden. And perhaps you, like Napoleon or Balzac, love to reflect, taking a bath.

If there is no window in the office, compensate for its photo wallpaper with a landscape or lightbox that imitates the real window.
No less interesting solution - an interior window from the next room, from which daylight will penetrate into your creative abode.

Five layout options

Male Cabinet: 1 Option

Do you think the cabinets do not have gender differences? Mistake. The male cabinet is more often drawn up in English or in a classic style, putting a monolith and status on the fore.

Wooden cabinets, massive desktop, dark parquet, antiques, soft leather furniture. Typical accessories include outdoor hours, press papier and heavy ashtrays. This is a classic, but, as you know, there are exceptions in everything.

Female Cabinet: 2 option

The classic female cabinet is brighter, accommodates light, carved, openwork furniture with thin bent legs, aged, gilded things. And, of course, many accessories.

Scientist "Cat": 3 option

Separate cabinet layout arose in the houses of people who were engaged in science or literature. Such premises necessarily assume massive cabinets, for storing the library, are more often performed in the classic natural shades of brown and beige. Here you will not encounter new-fashioned attributes, plastic or synthetics.

When arranging the library, remember that books require special storage conditions and are sensitive to light.

Creative Cabinet: 4 Option

Full opposite classic cabinet. The layout is determined by the goal of the owner. For example, the photographer at the head of the selection of the design will put a sufficient seats for storing the bulk machinery, and the fashion designer will emphasize on the need for high-quality lighting, preferably natural.

House in the house: 5 option

This type of office is suitable for those who work at any time of the day and does not share the concepts of work and recreation, for example, programmers. In this case, the room must accommodate everything that is required for comfort, this is a sleeping place, and a comfortable table, and even a table for Lunch.

Cabinet on the loggia - working corner on a small area

Unfortunately, the realities are such that the cabinet in the average apartment is given a small area, not a whole room. Is it worth considering the option to arrange a cabinet on the balcony?

The answer is unequivocal - yes! The small office on the balcony is the ability to gain autonomy, good insolation and often beautiful view.

The lack of one is a modest size in size, but I will teach you to turn the lack of dignity.

1. The design of the room and the balcony should be performed in one style and a single color solution. What for? In order to eliminate clear zoning and not to emphasize the already modest size of the balcony.
2. Use dense curtains to separate the cabinet from the room. If you're adjacent to the bedroom, hang curtains from the main room, if with a living room or hall - from the side of the office.

1. "Pocket" furniture, no, no, it's not a joke. Choosing furniture that can be installed in "Pocket". In most cases, the balcony width exceeds the size of the window, the distance between the end border and the side edge of the frame will be enough to accommodate the cabinet, table, sofa, and even the rack. If the balcony has a deaf side wall, hang over the table photo, picture or small TV.

For balconies with deaf side walls, I recommend using various geometric shapes of the countertop, for example, triangular. This will change the angle of view and do not sit through the eyes into the wall.

1. All furniture should be located so as not to overlap the access of natural light. Shelves and cabinets should not shadow windows, including internal.
2. Carefully calculate the size of the table top. I recommend installing structures with console supports or a table with a narrow L-shaped table top.

1. Walls should not be empty. Use them to arrange shelves or racks for folders and books.
2. Save the place on the table will help lamps fixing on the wall and having a flexible leg.
3. Windows Subscribe to rolled curtains or blinds so that each sash has a separate control system.

About the styles silence the word

Gothic

The concept of gothic is associated with Dracula, no, no, I will not offer to locate the coffin as a sleeping place, but some elements will still advise. So, modern gothic, what is she?

First, for the implementation of a full-fledged gothic office it is necessary to take on the stage of the project at home. Yes, it is at home! Since Gothic implies a large space.

If you want a real medieval castle or at least his stylization with silicate windows, make it in the project of the house. Details of the interior should create an image of an abandoned mansion. The color gamut is dark with an abundance of cherry, purple and dark gray tones.

As a decor, use gilded classic frames with patina, velvet combined with atlas. Visit the flea market and look for ancient candelabra, darkened paintings, silver, which create a special atmosphere.

Floor finish - and board. Regardless of the selected option, the coating must have a dark rich color and embossed texture.

If the hallway is adjacent to the hallway, lay out the floor with a hexagonal or square-shaped tile with abstract or vegetable ornaments. The appropriate option I would recommend seeing the Meetall Tagina Ceramiche Darte collection.

Gothic is tiles, statues and painting, about the latter, unfortunately, know a few. The simplest variant of the walls of the walls is the applying of a stencil single-color pattern for smooth plaster. But the complex polychrome painting depicting the scenes of the knightly life, I would have entrusted professionals.

Mandatory element - Wooden parts, it can be door leafs with iron or bronze linings, ceiling beams that are based on the console.

The natural wood beams are sufficiently heavy, so we advise them to replace them with a painted imitation of polyurethane.

From furniture Choose stools or chairs with high backs, hidden and painted lari, massive cabinets of non-colored wood. Alternatively, you can use furniture on wrought-iron frames.

Stained glass windows - another element that is inextricably linked with the concept of gothic. Under the conditions of the city apartment, I recommend using the fillets for the decor of niches, doors and windows.

All designs with the exception of the ceiling can be equipped with backlight.
The illumination of the latter is not inherent in gothic and is used only in modern and art deco style.

Gothic is characterized by patterns with the image of trifolium, quadiffs and gothic "roses". Use them in the furniture finish, columns and arches.

Of course, where without fireplace. Monumental portal separate sandstone or painted by a gypsum imitating stone. Directly furnace or false portal decorate carved wooden elements. And be sure to find the place of gothic and Celtic ornaments or heraldic emblems.

Country style

The design of the working office in the country style is associated with the Russian intelligentsia, American immigrants and English lords. Country - it is different, but always in a rustic cozy.

Primitive, coarse and modest Classic North American Country will have to do those who want to create a home office in which nothing would distract.

The Scandinavian Country is considered more elegant, but the English rustic style is most filled with comfortably through the use of juicy colors of red-haired, noble loss of skin, checkered plaids.

The south country is bright, in detail saturated and emotional. Working out the interior of the cabinet in the house, you can safely use Indian motifs, the shades of the desert, prairies and mountains, the stylization of things of Spanish conquistadors.

It would be unfair to not mention the French country, which borders with Provence. The main element is a floral pattern "Mille Fleure", which combines with furniture in pastel colors.

In rhythm ethno

Eneotherity implies the most individual approach to the interior design, as several directions fall under this concept, here you are hot Africa, and captivating India, and conservative Japan.

For those who prefer minimalism and conservatism, open spaces and equilibrium design, I propose to pay attention to, which, by the way, is the most common among ethnic.

Following Japanese, an African style with sunny bright colors and exotic motifs.

The Mediterranean style is sunny, bright and multicolored, distinguished by the violet of paints. Mandatory design elements - natural wall decoration and stained glass.

Old woman England

It's time to go to visit the English queen there, where conservatism and traditional rules.

English style is difficult to imagine without:

• abundance of furniture;
• a large number of decorative elements - figurines and VAZ;
• vegetable ornament in the upholstery and curtains;
• finishes made of natural wood;
• corner with books or walls with a massive cabinet for books;
• textiles and drapery.

Instructions for arrangement of the Cabinet in English style:

	Recommendations
Colors	Choose a noble and discreet color range: brown, muffled red, ocher, dark green. From the bright palette of attention is worthy of cream and hint of ivory.
Furniture	If possible, the furniture should be made of natural wood with brass inserts. Choose skin and velvet as upholstery. The interior highlight can be: mahogany armchair with a carved back and curved legs; massive oak bookcases; sofa "Chesterfield"; "Eared" chairs, having protrusions on the backs; fireplace, decorative or present.
Decor	desktop or outdoor hours; paintings within the framework of natural wood; porcelain figurines; wooden boxes.
Finish	For the floor, I recommend using a parquet board or imitation from laminate, be sure to label the carpet from above. Wooden panels, wallpapers with floral ornament or stripes, as well as their combination are often used in the wall decoration. The ceiling can be classic white, but must have stucco elements in the center and around the perimeter.

Ampire style

Ampire is the style that requires large areas for implementation, so suitable for mansions, spacious houses, cottages. His concept itself involves wide, large windows and high ceilings.

Ampire is a combination of palace pomp and military rigor, so there are marble statues, gilding, rich furniture decor, fireplace, paintings and frescoes, military and stamp symbols: crossed blades and laurel wreaths.

Making the office with her own hands, make the focus on symmetry and laconism.

Wall decoration. Use not just expensive, and luxurious materials: velvet, silk, atlas, Venetian plaster or silk wallpaper. Wallpaper adherents must choose a rigorous ornament, military symbolism, panoramic view of ruins, African forests, valleys.

The lower part of the walls is more often decorated with natural stone panels. As a wall decor, pilasters, frescoes, stucco, columns, bas-reliefs, medallions and arches are used.

Flooring. Outdoor coating should organically emphasize the atmosphere of the cabinet, so choose natural materials, such as granite or marble. From tile or stone you can lay out a mosaic with Greek-Roman motifs.

The ceiling is more often classic white or decorated with painting antique theme. If you plan to install the tensioning system, choose a matte cloth with an ivory.

The main distinguishing feature of the furniture is monumentality, so the selected headsets must have a low landing and even some kind of squatness. It is preferable to use natural wood of red, satin, rosewood, oak, beech, walnut.

The foreground does not come to the fore, and the "royal" appearance of the situation: majestic, hard chairs, strict cabinets, round low secretaries and tables, narrow grayers, chest of drawers, decorated with columns, figures of ancient gods or animals.

The lighting is provided by massive crystal chandeliers, metal extreme chandeliers with gold-plated and bronze base. Additionally mounted lamps and sconces, stylized candles and oil lamps.

Start with time - Hi-Tech

High-tech is a style in which the focus is on technological, ergonomics and modernity. That is why you will not see in this office of multilayer curtains, dear furniture and abundance of the decor.

The working mood is created by light shades and original futuristic furniture. Despite a large amount of plastic, glass and metal, High-tech cabins can be cozy. I will try to prove it.

So that the room was cozy, give preference to mild warm colors: light orange, light gray and pistachio. In the color boiler can safely throw black and white.

Plastic glossy panels or paints are used for wall decoration. An excellent solution will be the installation of 3-D bulk panels.

The first violin in the furniture symphony is a strict concise table, which combines elements of glass and metal. Cabinets and racks should be open or have glass doors.

Industrial aesthetics - Loft

Choose this style is in the event that the room reserved under the office has large windows. The large area creates a free layout, limited only by visual zoning, implemented in the decoration of walls, ceiling and gender.

Brick, coarse plaster, concrete, plywood, open communications, rafters, ceiling beams and wiring is all inherent in industrial urbanism.

Open Space requires mandatory zoning of space, for this I recommend using an open transverse rack, which will not only store useful things, but also perform the partition function.

Such a simple technique will allow to separate the bedroom, living room or kitchen, create the "House in the House" described above.

Be Popular - Pop Art

Pop Art is the choice of creative people who are not afraid of the catch and brightness. And the point here is not only in the color scheme, but also in accessories, the appearance of which borders with the concept of an emptyage.

The style of all its principles is opposed to modernism and conservatism. The emphasis is placed on the abundance of the color, the use of acidic paints, decorating with prints, collages, images of well-known personalities and recognizable advertising elements.

More often the floor and ceiling of glossy neutral shades that do not focus on their attention. You can consider the variant of the multi-level ceiling with backlight.

For the floor is acceptable to use parquet, tiles, carpet and even bulk sex.

By choosing a pop art, do not allow the cabinet to abandon the cabinet, give up massive cabinets, preferring to embedded niches. Furniture should have streamlined smooth lines.

It can be round plastic or glass tables, soft puffs and chairs, covered with leather or colored bright cloth, glossy plastic chairs of bizarre design and intricate shape.

Use the objects "Hand-Made" as accessories. Particularly interesting reception is the replication of one image in various colors and sizes and its repetition in the furniture and decoration.

Plastic frames for photos, modern vases of bizarre form, metal and chrome elements, multicolored textiles, glossy unusual flowers, fluffy carpets - put it all in "compote" and cook pop art.

Mini-Cabinet

Well, if you are equipping the office in a private house and can afford a separate room. What to do to those who are trying to carve out a mini-office or not even so, a mini-corner for work and creativity.

I offer five ideas for a very small area:

1. Corner. Often the corners of the rooms remain not involved, but very in vain. It is here that his refuge can find a small corner table and several wall shelves. We'll see?

1. Windowsill. If you failed to win the area on the balcony, pay attention to the windowsill. Yes, and he can become a small "cabinet". In such a solution, there is a significant advantage - an abundance of natural lighting.

1. In the closet. Do not be afraid, you will not lock you into the chulad, but we will offer the idea of \u200b\u200bthe cabinet in the closet. For such a solution, a bulky cabinet will be required, which is most often inherited from the grandmother.

The inner part is placed under personal needs, filled with organizers, the retractable shelf for the keyboard is built (if you work at a computer), the lower shelves are dismantled to exemplate the place for the legs.

Such a corner is perfectly combined with a rustic and vintage style.

1. In niche. Soviet-type apartments have enough sufficient niches and storage rooms that can be transformed into the working corner. Upon arrangement, use designs from drywall that can create functional open regiments of the required size.

1. If even for the above ideas in your apartment is not located, pay attention to portable folding mini offices. The compact attachment system in one movement is transformed into a comfortable table, which can be moved if desired.

Output

Brutal, strict, ambitious, inspirational, warm, cozy, gigneous and very tiny - your creative office can be any, but the main thing is that he has a soul and then any work will be in life.

And I still have traditionally to offer you an interesting video in this article. Questions or ideas voicate in the comments, we will gladly discuss!

In order to work well in the office, it is necessary to create an appropriate atmosphere. Your environment must be restrained, neat and configured for a long time. The British are very scrupulous people who relate to their work very carefully. In almost every occupied person in the house, a whole room for an office is allocated. If you decide to equip a piece of an apartment or house under the office, then make it in English style.

Particularities of English style

English Style was formed in the UK over the centuries. The beginning of the formation of this style professionals belong to the 18th century, when the finish began to pay more attention. Naturally, at that time, such offices weathered in accordance with all the rules could afford only aristocrats and know. Today, English style is easily recognizable, it embodies restraint and aristocracy. Such cabins look calm, sophisticated and very solid.

What is the feature of the style? Rooms look monotonous and even monochrome. The English style is, first of all, a large amount of high-quality tree, as a rule, dark tone. Pictures, graceful candlesticks, hunting trophies, heavy textiles - all this is integral English style chirks. If we are talking about the interior of the Cabinet, then it must be in sufficient number of bookcases with good and presentable books.

If you want to dilute the interior, you can add a little porcelain, crystal, hang or put good vintage clock and even place musical instruments.

Furniture, as a rule, is also presentable - sofas and armchairs with "ears" will look good - armrests that are twisted for themselves. By the way, sofas should be leather, even permissible and some other options using wood and textiles.

What materials are preferred

English style is very restricted and looks solid. For this reason, expensive and high-quality materials are used in interior design. As we have already spoken, first of all, it is worth paying attention to the abundance of a tree. Wood can be seen everywhere - wooden furniture, wooden walls, parquet, caisson ceilings, which are also made of wood, wooden sculptures and decor elements. A good atmosphere will have to be pretty broken, because for English style only a high-quality tree is suitable.

The walls are punctured by heavy textured, which looks richly, but not too elegant, or a wooden sheathing. Dilute the view can be cornices, moldings and pilasters. In general, the walls can be made multi-level.

Floors can be put on parquet, and you can also with floorboards. It is permissible to use carpet with calm colors. It is better to abandon the drawings in favor of monotonous options. The carpet coating itself, like carpets, should be solid and solid, do not suck. In the English style it is allowed to use an expensive tile, but for the office is not the best option.

As for the tissues, it is worth paying attention to the damaste, sitherge, velvet and other similar fabrics that have noble textures. Unlike carpets, the fabric can be with a pattern.

There is a place in the office and gilding. It can be used as you like - you can insert pictures in the gilded frames, and you can choose the wallpaper with a gold-plated pattern.

Be careful: the gilding should not overload the interior.

For the office, one of the most desired materials is the skin. And the chair is a good impedacity to the interior, and it looks stylish and presentable. In such an office, it is not afraid to drive its business partners and expensive guests.

Color spectrum

The color combinations of the English style is quite modest. As you can guess, the fundamental color is brown and various shades. In addition, it is good to look good for the noble colors of dark shades, for example, terracotta colors, red, burgundy and even the color of the fuchsia. In the office will greatly look at various dark variations of green color - pistachio, emerald, dark green, malachite.

Interesting: Psychologists believe that green color helps to concentrate attention and beneficially affects both studies and work.

If you want to emphasize your wealth, you can use golden colors, bronze, yellow and orange. Neutral color that can dilute the atmosphere is beige and its shades.

English style because of the abundance of dark colors may look hard, but it should be. It is quite difficult to meet the cabinets weathered in English style and light colors, as the line between this style and the other can be very thinned. Dark color is more noble and solid, so it has more success among style adherents.

English style furniture

The English classic is the slightness of the forms, confidence and clarity of lines. Symmetry is welcome. Throwing and even shocking things in no case can you attribute to English style. Source materials are only the best. Stone, tree, some metal - all this is permissible. Cheap fakes need to be put aside.

The texture of furniture should be diverse and not too catch. The furniture may present embossed elements that make the situation even more elegant and rich, without going beyond.

Sofas and armchairs can have "ears", which are twisted armrests, which we have already mentioned. In general, such furniture should be made of good skin and be very comfortable and soft. Its textile fragments are quite large, and small decorative pillows will look in the office in the office, so they should be abandoned. Cabinets should be with transparent windows that can be decorated with some pattern. We recommend to lay the cabinets with neat and beautiful rows of books.

To whom the English style comes

Many can dream of a beautiful office, but how to understand that this style is suitable for you? You just need to carefully judge. English style will suit you if you:

• Do not be afraid to spend a lot of money to create a presentable environment due to really high-quality furniture and finishing materials;
• Have a free room with a sufficient amount of free space to place your office there;

• We have a good job and from time to time drive in your home expensive guests, business partner or customers. Your office will certainly make a good impression on them and will assure that you are profitable to cooperate with you and you are clearly going uphill;
• Do not love various mouths and frills, prefer strictness and laconicity;
• Do not want to make a "light" and a bright cabinet for inspiration and creativity. English style is more suitable for businessmen and those people who actively work with various papers.
• Do not be afraid that the repairs can take away a lot of time and will require significant changes, as often happens;
• Just love England and love when your home looks good and solid.

English Style was formed very long time and still remains in fashion among secured people, thanks to their conciseness and rigor. In such rooms, it works fine, the situation collected and comfortable. To hold the meeting at home will be in a pleasure, since customers and partners will certainly be impressed with your interior. English style is the perfect option for those who just want to fix their affairs a little and fully focus on work.

Everyone who works at home dreams about the office. Having a functional desktop in a common room, over time you have to realize that you can truly focus only behind the closed door. People of different professions, flavors and views have their own idea of \u200b\u200bthe personal space. Some arrange business meetings, their office should look presentable, others, love to travel and surround themselves with ethnic things of different countries. Creative personalities need to hide from the world and to be alone with them.

Features

If the living area allows you to highlight the room for a full-fledged cabinet, it should be taken to its design with all seriousness. The correct organization of design affects the workflow, and therefore for material wealth. Making a home office, all efforts need to be directed to the achievement of the main goal - the maximum productivity of work.

Some rules should be taken into account:

• The situation should not distract from work. If there are no special preferences, the style is better to choose simple and modern (minimalism, high-tech).
• Comfort is a pledge of a full-fledged workflow. No matter how original the style is if the owner does not feel comfortable, the goal will not be achieved, and the situation will have to be changed.

• The minimum set of furniture (table, wheelchair or shelves, light sources) is needed to anyone. Supplements to the setting will depend on the specifics of the host work. Writer, banker, accountant, teacher, lawyer have different ideas about the work room.
• Proper placement of the desktop. It is necessary to maximize natural lighting. Solar rays should not blind monitor. For the right door the layout of the window on the left will be the most acceptable option. This rule concerns the table lamp.
• Working equipment must be positioned so that everything is at hand, but at some distance.
• Good relaxation will continue to work with great enthusiasm. You should take care of a practical sofa. For example, leather furniture looks respectable, and it is easy to care for it.

• Cabinet color is chosen according to style. If the working time is important, calm, cold shades are needed to concentrate attention. Activate the creative process will help bright colors. Comfort lovers prefer warm, soft tones.
• It is necessary to take care of trifles. Convenient calendar, organizer on the table, garbage basket - invisible assistants in work. For some, an integral part of the cabinet can be a coffee machine, or a globe bar.

Design styles and design

Interior design styles can be divided into three main groups: classic (historical), ethnic and modern.

• The historical group consists of directions, tested by time and reached our contemporaries: Ampire, Baroque, Retro, Classicism, Gothic style.
• Modern style can be attributed to urban (urban), industrial, eco-casting, loft, minimalism, modern, high-tech.
• Ethnic styles are discussed in the national key, they are associated with the theme of various countries: English, Provence, Scandinavian, Japanese, American, Italian, European.

In addition to the main directions, there are mixed stylesconnected in the framework of one space.

These include fusion, kitsch, eclectic, Victorian style.

The colonial stylistics originated at the end of the XVII century, when the navigators opened new lands and brought exotic things. This direction combined various ethnic styles, there are elements of marine, hunting, oriental subjects.

Country rustic direction has long been outside the American theme and combined the Swiss chalet, French Provence and other rural interiors.

Having understood in the style, it is easier to understand which direction it is better to choose to design a cabinet.

English

When it comes to cabinets, primarily remembering the British. Their stylistics were formed for several centuries and contributed to the development of two directions: geographical and Victorian, but for most people there is a single concept of English style.

The interior in such a stylist is suitable for large premises and secured owners. It is characterized by the presence of expensive wood in large quantities, massive furniture, rigor and aristocratic restraint. Environmentally friendly materials are used, there should be no imitation or fakes.

In the design of the Cabinet, you can use cable wooden ceilings and panels, simple colors wallpaper (green, red, blue) with horizontal lines, oak parquet.

Selectable large furniture made of natural wood. The two-sheet desktop must be solid and go complete with a comfortable chairs. Upholstered furniture is preferred from the skin of muffled green or brown shades.

Crystal chandelier will fit as a light sourceand a large table lamp. The decor should be a bit, the pictures are allowed, antique clock, figurines. The windows are usually decorated with heavy curtains. Preferably the presence of the fireplace.

In such a room it is appropriate to conduct business negotiations. It will suit people who want to emphasize their wealth, strict aristocracy and good taste.

Neoclassical

Forming and improving, the classic style in our time was transformed into neoclassic, reserving the right to a luxurious interior.

For the office it is the most win-win option.Unlike gloomy English premises, neoclassic often uses light tones. Natural calm textures of finishing and furniture have to work proceedings.

For the office choose a large solid table, leather director. Pencils, racks and other furniture can be like light and dark tones. You can add a room with restrained paintings, respectable clock, expensive stationery sets and multifaceted lighting.

This style is designed for self-sufficient people who understand the business.

Minimalism

Such a modern male style appeared in the sixties of the last century. The office of this direction consists of simple (but not cheap) furniture of standard geometric shapes without excesses. It is usually functional and elegant.

A monochrome finish is used, or a maximum of two colors in the interior.Acceptable black and white photographs on the walls or paintings in one tonality. There should be no creative disorder on the table, everything should be stored in drawers and deaf polarms.

Colonial

Mixed style of various ethnic directions. He appeared in the times of colonization by the British of the Black Continent. Exotic was embedded in an English interior, forming a kind of stylist.

In such an office there can be a lot of books, a map or a large globe, wood furniture and rattan.

Sometimes the room is combined with a winter garden in which there are tropical plants.

Provence

The style came to us from the south of France and became almost most popular with modern designers. He personifies the dimension and the taste of slow rustic life. In his idea, the harmony of the sea coast and flowering lavender fields is laid. The same colors are used in the interior: blue, lavender, milk.

The floor in the office should be from the lowered oak, or other light wood species.Provence walls are plastered. The desk is made of artificially aged wood, the chair is covered with a white case. This direction does not like the technique, it is better to hide it into the closed furniture and get it as needed.

This style is more suitable for romanticians.

Modern

A relatively young style in which expensive materials and techniques appear. It does not tolerate clear lines, only smooth free forms are needed. In decoration and materials used motifs of flora and fauna. This direction loyally refers to other styles and can allow the intervention of classicism, ethnic motives, the main thing is to dominate the basic idea.

Cabinet in such a style should be spacious, multifunctional and comfortable room with large windows. The best technique is bought, dear and spectacular desktop. Furniture is predominantly modular and not cumbersome. The cabinet, created in the Modern stylist, should be the only and unique, as it is formed solely under its owner.

There is a coarse simplicity with hunting and mountain attributes in the decor.Cabinet can decorate animal horns, guns, skins, but there is nothing bright and brilliant in it. Warm plaid and live fire fireplace will make the room cozy and cursed.

Avangard

Avangard came up with the dawn of the twentieth century, as denial to all existing styles. The office of this direction should have a non-standard form, instead of windows and doors - arches and zoning with podiums. Leading colors - red, black and white, mandatory contrasts. For finishes, the most recent innovations are needed.

The furniture should look strange for the usual perception and do not contain decoration. Cabinet is suitable for extraordinary personalities.

Beautiful examples in the interior

The abundance of styles helps create a real beautiful office of the office and protect the interior from a mantleless.

And what actually will be characterized by the presence of an English style in the interior? First of all, notes of unobtrusive luxury, restraint of the situation and some solemnity of the atmosphere. Everything that will be present in the office should be impregnated with the spirit of England.

The material for finishing the cabinet walls often serves fabric. By tradition, it may be attended by:

1. Vertical stripes.
2. Original floral motifs.
3. Gilding.

Most of the setting occupy objects of wood and textiles.

For decoration, I would like to note that a fireplace will be present in the English-style office. The ceiling will decorate the stucco, and the floor is to put the parquet or cover marble. The spirit of antiquity will always be present in the setting of such a premises, which will support which will be unusual eaves, woolen carpets and shields on the locking wells. All these decor elements are usually made with incredible chic, so perfectly complement the overall picture.

Will not be superfluous on the walls of the cabinet and paintings. The work of impressionists, the canvas on the sporting themes are perfect. It is appropriate in such a refined room and modern painting, the main thing that her plots are on classic themes. The window zone can be framed by Roman, Austrian or London types of curtains. Also in the room decorated in the English direction, there are always many brocade, silk and heavy fabrics from the taffeta or reps.

In the classical understanding of the Cabinet in English style there is a library zone, so you will need to purchase a strictly symmetrical rack, decorated with carved inlays, or order the shelves from the valuable wood.

In addition to books, the domestic rooms are often stored. It is very convenient to do in the cabinet for files. Place this object of the situation in the working area, next to the table. Thus, you will always have access to the necessary papers. It is necessary to make in the office and a comfortable corner for reading, equipping it with a soft sofa, coffee table and classic sconce. Ideally, the sofa is covered with a beautiful embroidered cover.

Consumables

English Style does not tolerate glass, metal, plastic and other types of ultra-modern finishing materials. Almost everything is done here in the tree. In the office, decorated in English style, wooden can be not only furniture. From this material, overlapping beams, wall panels, flooring and different decorative accessories. Another mandatory attribute of the exquisite decor is stucco.

As you understand, all consumables have a rather high cost and find a way to reduce the cost of interior design is not so simple, because in English style can not break the canons. This is what you can replace the gypsum stucco decor from polyurethane, and instead of gilding to use Paltal. In this case, you will notice a significant difference in price.

leather furniture, as one of the main attributes of the Cabinet in the classic style

Sometimes designers go to extreme measures and replace the wooden ceiling with a skillful imitation, worked out from pressed cardboard. Such a surface decorated with oil paints.

The floors in the office are lined up:

1. Parquet.
2. Marble.
3. Array boards.
4. Natural stone.

Alternative to these chic materials can be only a porcelain stoneware, which can perfectly imitate any of the above materials and is significantly cheaper.

The main thing that attracts the look in the office is stylish upholstered furniture. The wooden part of the sofas and chairs is always treated with wax, and natural and very soft skin of the highest quality is used for the upholstery and the backs. Sometimes it turns out that it is precisely the furniture that becomes the main expenditure at the design of the English-style room.

In addition to the skin, velor, flax or cotton fabric can be used in the decoration of the chairs, and far from always monophonic. They may well be a drawing in the form of patterns, cells or classical strips.

massive writing desk will emphasize English Style Cabinet

The most unique interior of the cabinet is a written desk. It is always a thing is expensive, sometimes antique. Today, as many years ago, such tables are made from the oak array.

The mass production of such furniture is unprofged, because the cost of production is incredibly high, which automatically translates the interior objects for the English-style cabinet in the category of elite furniture.

The color decision also looks through a tendency to chic. Luxuriously in such a decor looks wenge color, coffee tones, chocolate and dark brown shades that can contrast with Ivory and light beige.

Contrast game

Wanting to get the effect of solemnity, it is still not worth the color decoration to give preference exclusively dark tones, no matter how noble they were. Even with some kind of gloomy inherent in English interiors, it will be an explicit bust. Much more effectory, contrast decors will look. Try to perform only one of the walls in the dark design, and leave the rest in the power of light paints. Similarly, it is necessary to act with a dark floor covering - it is necessary to rejected by a light carpet.

Details and accessories

The curtains must be present on the English-style cabinet windows. Do not blind, do not rollers, not Roman models, but real curtains from heavy and, naturally, solid materials. Only they can create in the midst of a sunny day the necessary dimming in the room, called the designers "Night Effect".
