Economical apartment design. Modern Economy Living Room

Not all people can afford a spacious apartment or a big house, but this does not diminish the desire for comfort and elegant life. On the contrary, the design of individual rooms, including living rooms, becomes only more relevant. Designers have developed a number of techniques that help to cope with this problem.

Features

In the living room area of \u200b\u200b18 square meters. M (this is a conditional figure, in reality can be a little more or a little less) it is undesirable to put such furniture that fief the edges of which occupy additional space. The solution to the problem is to combine the kitchen and hall, but this step is required to carefully think about, take measures against the spread of evil odors.

Even if the budget option is selected, it is necessary to accurately approach the choice of colors and their combinations among themselves.

It is recommended to focus on multifunctional solutions in the interior, since it is more attractive and aesthetic, and also allows you to at least partly solve the problem of the eternal deficit of the place in Khrushchev or the apartment of the panel house.

Even the best classic compositions are noticeably inferior to the living room equipped in a modern style, which is much more practical and more rational than old-fashioned.

Zoning

In addition to selecting style, you should also consider a certain separation into zones. In most standard houses, central rooms have a number of functions at once, and it is desirable to embody each of them in a certain part of the room. If there is enough area, the living room is isolated from other premises, and then zoning is separated by the guest of the guest part from the recreational one. The main screening solutions, in this case, are a visually released carpet or a sharp change of the type of floor coating.

If such a scheme you do not like, then you can crush the space on the shares of various decoration of walls or columns and installations. According to designers, the best points for zoning the hall in a two-room apartment are plots around the TV and bed. More beautiful and romantic solution is the use of blinds and curtains, shirm.

Important success is maintaining the stylistic coincidence between the two separated parts of the room.White curtains look good in conjunction with expressive yellow walls, and emphasize the comfort of the room helps the use of lamps and paintings on the walls.

Separate the guest site from the bedroom are capable of both partitions, and such a step is the cheapest.

Sometimes the living room is required to visually separate from the kitchen, and the circle of possible solutions is quite large. It should be remembered that using arches, two-level ceilings and floors, as well as columns makes sense only if the height of the separated rooms is large enough. Regardless of the element, this move is unacceptable if small children live in the house or elderly people. The cardinal gap can be made with the help of both deaf and equipped partitions equipped with interior doors.

Decor of surfaces

Window blocks can be arbitrarily beautiful and elegant, but to give them the desired completion, you need to use curtains. The exception is only the interiors in the spirit of high-tech and minimalism, but even in them you can enter short curtains if you do not like the open window. The living room in the shape of a square can be added comfortable on the walls of carpets. Contrary to popular belief, it can create a completely modern and rational interior. The disadvantage of this measure is the excessive concentration of dust.

Make the space more comfortable helps the use of handmade accessories, but when the goal is to cause a feeling of gloss and luxury, you need to apply the decor with glossy glitter, easily memorable.

Alternative to carpets often turn out to be tapestries and woven panels. Candlesticks help to the atmosphere of notes of romanticism. When the interior is drawn up in the style of Loft or in another urban key, this element of the decor is attractive as the paintings of modern artists or a major format poster. You can choose the plot to your taste, although the best solution is an artistic photo.

Design using stucco can be beautiful and original. If you do not classic gypsum solutions, but modern (based on polyurethane), it will even get a space in the spirit of neoclassic or Victorian style. Moreover, a similar solution helps to reduce capital repairs. The imitation of the stucco elements is not worse in appearance than the real blocks of plaster, and its cost is significantly less.

When selecting decor elements, pay attention to the purpose of using a certain area indoor. So, opposite the placement of guests, it makes sense to put plasma panels, large aquariums, artistic canvas (both classical and modern artists). A good alternative to such solutions is often a fake fireplace, a miniature scene under the karaoke, a decorative wall. Replace the pictures if you do not want to pick them up, or it is difficult for you to make a solution, you need mirror plates.

Selection of material, regardless of the size of the room, should be linked to the main motive that you are trying to enter the room. The appearance of the finishing material and the decor should stylistically coincide.

So, when all the designer's efforts are aimed at giving originality, to underline it, then a good step is to use natural stone or his skillful reproduction.

In the environment dictated by an environmental style, it is recommended to use a vertically landscaped wall, but only one is necessarily.

By the way, about the walls. The empty surfaces of the sofas often inspire worrying people. It seems that it is very difficult to solve this investigation problem. Designers offer the following win-win strokes:

• application of modular paintings;
• the clock, the appearance of which repeats the overall concept of the room;
• the shelf of durable tempered glass, on which the items made handled themselves;
• small musical instrument on the original suspension;
• installation developed by an individual project.

As in any other room, in a modest living room, an attractive decor element is black and white photograph of someone from households. You need to choose with the mind so that the angle was good, and the general view did not stop delight in a few months. Fragmentally print the image, and now it is already a good replacement for industrial photographic windows.

And if you do not want to see yourself and your loved ones, then use any other silfoot picture, selecting it as thoroughly.

Speaking of ready-made adorning elements, it is worth mentioning the decorative panels. Especially good narrow types that are brought to the ceiling in two or three strips are mixed consistently with the familiar wallpaper or textured plaster. This technique creates a sense of elongated walls, especially when narrow mirrors are used. Any other material can also be used, reinforcing its attractiveness carefully selected texture or visual effects.

Furnishings

The use of furniture in the living room has no stringent standards. Moreover, every manufacturer creates kits, focusing on their ideas about the ideal. This applies not only to the appearance, but also a certain composition. In a rectangular and square living room, in the room of any other form, modern designers recommend putting such interior items that are ergonomic, easily move to a new place if necessary and perform at least two functions.

Premises where you are going to relax, watch movies and television broadcasts, imply the use of a soft group.

If you do not want to use sofas, chairs and puffs in big capacity, then the dominant role is worth paying the home theater, placing the seat for seating around it.

Combined living rooms have furnishings built around dining groups. In any case, you should look at the embodiments of furniture, equipped with rollers or wheels. They allow you to quickly change the composition if there is a need. What it categorically should not be even with the most classical living room format, it is the usual large-sized "wall", reaching the ceiling itself.

Wherever the systems formed by lightweight modules look better. In addition, they are practical in use. Even more avant-garde (and due to less acceptable) type - design with glass. In total, there are already several hundreds of modern options, and choose the wall suitable for themselves is not much difficult.

Maintaining traditions when choosing a classic style is important, but it is worth considering that the cabinet furniture is really traditional execution can be bought only for a solid amount of money. But there is a way out. This is the stylistics of contemporary, which allows you to enter furniture products in any interior. It is recommended both soft and cabinet furniture "arrange" initially on the plan to prevent rough errors. Correction them will require considerable time and additional expenses. Corner interior items are simultaneously three key functions:

• decorative;
• functional;
• distinctive.

At the same time, their undoubted dignity is Maximum saving space.The capacity of the angular cabinets of the check-in type is large in comparison with comparable in size of direct products, and for a limited territory of the living room is important. If you want to have a room with a fireplace, then a little to ensure the combination of furniture with it.

It should be started with the definition of optimal style, and it may not coincide with the dominant stylistry. The classic version of the hearth will remain popular, in demand even after decades.

Lighting

The finished version of the lighting, which leaves the builders after yourself, suits not everyone. Sometimes he is too simple. No individuality, the raisins are not here in sight. Before buying and installing lighting devices, you need to consider both the design side and the reliability of communications. Almost always requires complicated electrical calculations, and in accordance with their results, it is possible to decide which ideas can be implemented, and what it is impossible.

In this article we will tell our readers about a truly magnificent dwelling, renovated and furnished without excess costs. Katherine Fugit and her Conan husband fell in love with this house at a glance, although earlier this object belonged to the bank and was in very poor condition.

"My spouse stumbled upon this option on the way for lunch. He even did not want to tell me about it with me, because it seemed that he had too much work, "says Katherine.

A few weeks later she accidentally saw a house online. The rest is the story today.

They had to work very quickly, because three months after buying, they had 50 people at the wedding.

The area of \u200b\u200bthe house is 230 square meters, there are 4 bedrooms here. The building was once a female pension.

The 1940 census allowed Fugits spouses to track the family, which contained this mansion in the last century. The granddaughter of the former owners told interesting facts about the house, for example, that her grandmother and grandfather were sleeping in the dining room, and the bedrooms upstairs were completely occupied by residents.

In the kitchen, future spouses removed the layer of old plaster to open wooden beams. They painted all the white paint, including old cabinets, added a new kitchen appliance and an antique plate. And also removed several layers of linoleum and polished wooden floors.

Cabinet atmosphere: Martha Stepart for the Home Depot; Lighting: Lowe's; Cases: 1000 Bulbs; Lamps: The Home Depot; Blankets: Atwoods Farm Supply.

Katherine and Conan painted their old refrigerator under the school board and used the old floor beam from the basement as a shelf over the stove to add even more character and history of this space.

The total cost of the kitchen alteration was slightly less than $ 400. And now take a look at this room before updating.

On this photo - the old plate and a completely ordinary refrigerator.

There is a kitchen with obsolete household appliances, dirty floors and sealing ceiling plates.

A young couple was able to make repairs without buying a new technique, cabinets or countertops. Fresh painting and updating the main elements made the kitchen almost perfect.

The basement floor beam was put as a kitchen shelf above the stove. For this, it was cut and used two brackets (approximately 3.50 $ each) to attach the design to the wall.

Here is a view of the living room before it was re-furnished.

Katherine and Conan decided that the collection of National Geographic would be part of their living room, as this passion is of great importance for their family. Shelves were designed specifically for these purposes.

The color of the walls was muffled due to colorful magazine covers, but very warm - so that the finish looks nice with artificial lighting. The main goal was to create a room like a cigar box - complete treasures and cute paintings.

Young people rearranged furniture so that the recently purchased sofa is now in front of windows and racks.

The color of the walls echoes the covers of magazines and yellow elements of the decor. A stylish sofa was just a find and cost only 25 dollars.

Couple also re-glazed double windows. And now you can open them at the same time with a black stroke to create a light breeze in the evening.

Wall paints: Crumbcookie, Olympic.

This is how the fireplace screen looked before the update.

Katherine and Conan painted the fireplace board and dining room, and also added a stucco decoration and a new lamp. In order to find the appropriate option, they conducted countless hours, studying the blogs and projects of eminent designers on the Internet.

The door is painted: Black Magic, Olympic.

FUGITS FAMILY bought this hanging Eden lamp from CB2. He approached the gray color of the walls.

Paint: Ash Mist, Olympic

Bathroom 1917 lost its character somewhere along the way to date, and then also began to pour the kitchen below.

Katherine and Conan cleared this room from plaster, removed the old tile under the layers of the linoleum, recreated its sample, polished the ancient bath, standing on the legs in the form of a paw. Found an unusual drain in Craigslist.

There is a bath on the legs for 100 dollars, it was painted with black paint. If you are a creative person and are ready to put a silent strength, you can make amazing things even with a tiny budget.

Outdoor paint: Montpelier Madison White, Valspar; Walls: White Knight, Ace Hardware; Bath: Black Magic, Olympic; Outdoor tiles: Merola, Home Depot.

Initially, a green forest was drawn on this cabinet with blue racks, but the dark color did not look with the rest of the neutral theme of the room.

Katherine and Conan acquired these shutters in a charitable store for only $ 4. Two layers of paint and new loops - and they are perfect for an old bathroom!

Young people made from a third bedroom, which was previously painted in rich colors, a modern stylish office. They started with snow-white paint from Olympic and placed the built-in table and shelves with compartments for the printer, scanner and office consumables. Book shelves add bright stains and attract views.

The guest room also eloquently testifies to savings: the metal frame of the bed was purchased for 10 dollars, it was painted with glossy black paint. Pictures were bought in a charitable shop.

Almost every element of furniture in this cozy dwelling was found in the commission store. Work on the items in good condition and put some love in them - this is one of the best things you can do for the environment and your home.

But there is no feeling of asceticism, which is not like to love women. The monochrome tone of the wall allows you to easily arrange your favorite posters. Neutral beige-sand and gray-blue tones allow, depending on the desire, create both cold and warm for perception space. Light textiles with bright red color introduces an expression element to a neutral color gamut.

Laconicity, functionality, convenience - The main principles of the design of this decorated in a calm, careless color scheme of the living room, built on the principle "White top - dark bottom". This makes the interior of an elegant, festive. The predominance of white color - the ceiling, walls, furniture and curtains - makes the space open, fills the air. Classic dark brown floor of a beautiful texture, upholstered graphite color furniture, sand curtains form a harmonious unobtrusive combination. Most of extravagance contributes in the overall impression of original, stylish modern lamps and chandelier of an unusual square shape. Without breaking general mood, naturally fit into the interior and workplace with a computer. The presence in a small number of "temperamental" red and raspberry tones dilutes the calm of the interior, bringing a little energy into it.

This will allow you to choose from the list of designers of what the style is as close as possible to the presentation of the owners of beauty and comfort.

Basics of inexpensive design

The phrase "budget design of the room" can cause an association with sad walls, painted oil paint, or cheap wallpaper. However, there are many ready-made designer solutions that allow for small investments to make the room bright and create a unique atmosphere in it. An example of such solutions can be:

• staining of the walls and the ceiling of the room instead of using more expensive finishing materials less expensive;
• transformation of the already existing setting of a small room due to changes in the color of furniture, curtains, upholstery;
• the use of cheap but attractive finishing materials (Paul from the board instead of parquet or laminate with the right approach will look attractive);
• interior design in Loft style, allowing to beat the open texture of the walls (especially often used in brick old houses).

The elegant room design can also be created with the help of original accessories purchased on the sale or made independently. To create a budget design room can be used:

• pillows of different sizes and colors;
• shirms facilitating the zoning of space;
• decorative plants collected in the composition.

The cost of these items is low, but their skillful use can make an inexpensive interior design no less attractive than elite projects.

Why should you entrust the inexpensive room design by a specialist

Creating the simplest interior using simple materials often requires a designer much more effort than the preparation of expensive projects. You need to use the services of specialists with a small budget because they are able to pick up materials with a minimum price and suggest ways to cheap the room atmosphere.

After making the decision to order inexpensive design on Yudu, the owners will receive a project that will cause guests or future guests a feeling of comfort and harmony.

At last! Happened. She graduated from the next article.
This time I want to touch on a very burning topic.

Many are in confidence that the design is available only to people with a big wallet, and if the budget for repair is strongly limited, then you can forget about beauty and harmony. I would like to dispel it if possible.

Of course, in the presence of sufficient funds, the beauty is much easier than in their absence. But both the presence of money does not guarantee a good result, and modest finances - no reason to lower your hands.

I want to be immediately warned - this article is not about how to save on construction work. Rather, it is about how even with the presence of a very small amount, you can get not only "simple repair", which meets certain practical requirements, but to create a stylish harmonious interior that meets modern trends.

Before revealing simple secrets, I want to separately celebrate three things on which in no case you can not saveif you make an apartment to myself and for a long time .

1. Technical communications. Laying pipes, plumbing, electrician, weakness, heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Their repair, replacement and installation after the end of the repair will cost you not only additional expenses, but also nerves.

2. Base preparation: (Paul, walls, ceiling) before finishing. Make a high-quality screed, level walls and ceiling (if you do not intend to use a stretch).

No expensive wallpaper will not be able to distract from oblique, curves and humpbacked walls. And especially noticeably it will be at the joints of the ceramic tile.

Think up in advance how to close the tubes in the bathrooms and in the kitchen, as well as the pipe from the drawing to the air duct. Take care of cable channels in which you can hide the wires running from a TV or computer to auxiliary machinery.
Nothing spoils any interior as none to the place sticking wires and pipes.

3. Redevelopment. I put it lately just because the need for it arises far from everyone. But, in fact, the competent planning solution is what we need to start all thoughts about repairs.

You will probably cope alone, if a:
- The apartment is located in a typical "panel". The possibilities of redevelopment in them are strongly limited and all possible options are usually easy to find on the Internet.
- You are planning very minor changes. A little move the wall or shift the opening ... just make sure that the notorious wall is not capital. And you, with your actions, do not violate the redevelopment law. Do not try, for example, enlarge the bathroom at the expense of the room or vice versa, expand the bedroom at the expense of the kitchen or toilet.

In other cases it is necessary contact specialists, if a:
- You decided to break all the nonsense walls and erect them again, more rationally.
- You bought a free planning apartment, and the planning proposed by the developer does not suit you.
- You want to drastically change the distribution of areas. For example, make a three-in-room burst. Yes, still carve a wardrobe room.
- Your apartment is inept and no options you have found.
- Especially it concerns apartments with original architecture: radius walls and angles other than 90 grams. ( In this case, I mean not the "jamb" of builders, but the idea of \u200b\u200bthe architect)

I will cope with such tasks you will be very difficult. It is unlikely that you can find the best solution for such objects.

Contrary to the opinion that designers are very expensive, it is possible to order a planning solution for quite imputed money. ( In the Moscow region it is about 200-300 rubles. per sq.m.)

But it will allow you to:
- Evaluate the potential of your dwelling.
- Choose the most optimal option, taking into account the characteristics of your family.
- Squeeze the maximum benefit from each see. Square.
- Act within the law on the reorganization of premises.
Because you will be unpleasantly surprised if after the repair is already finished, it will not be possible to legalize, and it is unlikely that you will have an infrared neighbor, waving a summons on the court, because your toilet turned out to be smoothly over the children's bed.
- Do without beveled walls and ridiculously protruding corners.
- choose the most rational and least costly for further embodiment, solutions.

Suppose we defined with the layout. Now the final result will depend mostly from how correctly we will determine with the style of the direction and the color scheme, we will select the right finishing materials and furniture.

STYLE
Do not deceive yourself ... Pretty obvious (although, probably not for everyone), that the royal apartments, the interiors of palaces and residences in the conditions of a limited budget will not shine. The race called "Expensive-richly" in such conditions, we never win.
It is not worthwhile and on such "expensive" styles like Art Deco

Or
Modern (i mean the name of the style that appeared at the junction of the 19th and 20th centuries. It is also called Art Nouveau, Liberty or Yighdille)

It is easiest to achieve a good result, and not only morally, but also materially, it will help you MINIMALISM.

Saving for you may be the so-called Scandinavian style.

There are practically no contraindications for them.
Almost always appreciated Contemporary.

To select the rest of the styles, the rule of good tone says:
The style of the apartment should maximize the architecture of the house.
- choice Classics If your apartment is in "Stalinka", it is quite acquitted. But the low ceilings of this style are completely contraindicated.

Also, it should be remembered that the classic will require symmetry in the arrangement. You will have to refuse the corner sofa and other asymmetric interior items.

And yet, this choice will definitely increase your budget. Decor, furniture and accessories in the classic style are significantly more expensive.
- will greatly facilitate life and reduce the cost Easy classic - Condemned version of classic interiors.

Style Country- It is appropriate in the country or in a country house, but not always suitable for apartments. To recreate it in concrete walls, you will also need additional costs.

good old Provence -also, it will be best revealed in a separate house with wooden ceilings or in the attic, but at the same time easily fit into the interior of the apartment. Easy and elegant - it is more suitable for women. A man can feel a little uncomfortable in it.

Style LOFT, under certain circumstances, it will allow not to sew pipes and ventilation on the ceiling, will help save on the finish finish, leaving the brick and old boards, if they existed there before. But it will be extremely ridiculous to look in a close low panel, in which it was not brick, no boards. And you will still have to spend on their imitation, not always successful, besides.

Style Fusioncharacterizes the "combination of incompatible", i.e. Combining completely different ideas from different, it would seem incompatible styles, but so that they do not lose the integrity and harmony.

Fusion could seem "easy prey", thanks to the seeming permissiveness. If it were not for the last reservation "not to lose the integrity and harmony of the image." This is a much more difficult task than it may seem at the beginning. Therefore, it is least recommended for independent use.

If you have left the grandmother any rare furniture objects, decor, it makes sense to risk. However, you must be quite a creative person for this and be absolutely confident in your taste. Well, or you will accept, there is such a person with whom you could constantly consult. (Keyword "constantly".)

Thus, the use of already existing architectural features of the building in the interior, as well as available meaningful Items will allow you not only to better pass the atmosphere, the mood, but also will save your finances.

Conversely, any violence against style entails additional financing.

COLOR
The choice of color scheme is also worth it is reasonable, relying not only on personal addiction.
Of course, everyone does not only have their favorite color, but also have their own, there are currently established relationships with each color.

Someone whitethe walls are associated with cleanliness, freshness and scoring. Others, this purity seems too "surgical" and thoughts about the hospital.

(Although, justice for the sake of, little where there are sterile white hospital chambers and even robes doctors in surgery may not be white at all)

Heavenly blue It can carry airiness and ease by one, and others seem cold and uncomfortable.

Also, warm peach, sandy-beige Shades - for some guarantee of comfort, for others - "stuffy, illuminated, beaten."

Someone can exist only surrounded by pastel shades,

and the other is absolutely necessary for the energy of bright colors.

And someone is very cozy in the black and black room.

There are no ugly colors. There are even incompatible combinations. With a skillful approach, you can make friends absolutely all colors.
But for independent work you will need fundamental knowledge on the topic and specific experience. Well, or the perfect taste and error-free intuition. And better both, both, and the third ...

And if you do not have any of this, and there is no time for a detailed study of the problem, nor the desire is the only way to "not hiking" in large - it is to reduce the risks as much as possible. ( Radical way - call for the help of a designer, we do not consider here).

A huge number of people chooses a calm beige palette for their home.

(Designers even the term appeared « baewiness » , not too flattering)

But in principle, they are right. Especially those who prefer serious beige Tone.

Generally, the choice as a background light neutral gamma: white, increasingly less bright shades of gray and gray-beige - The most reliable way to ease your life and avoid serious mistakes in the design of space.

They are perfectly combined both among themselves, including various shades and derivatives, and are ready to make friends with almost any other color.

Saturated gray paints, as well as almost black and pure - black It looks as a background for many unusual, but nevertheless, always without problems find a companion in any palette.

But, loved in the people, peach beige And different modifications with the addition of yellow and pink shade are far from being so harmless. Firstly, the yellow-beige brother tolerate cannot tolerate his pink-beige relative (this is also related to "wooden" textures). And both of them do not get along with bright clean colors. From strong contrasts, they are shown only pure-black (he is friends with everyone without regard) and selective shades of dark brown.

But, no matter how seductive the path of least resistance, it must be remembered that the color, its competent use in the interior is a powerful decorative reception, and almost free. (Painting bank with some unusual color costs almost as much as beige.)

But the risk with the right choice of color increases. Moreover, it is difficult to combine some rich colors among themselves. Patiently, difficulties arise in the selection of finishing materials and furniture.

https://color.adobe.com/ru/create/color-wheel/
There are also whole sites with ready-made palettes.

http://color.romanuke.com/
But to competently use these cribs, too, we must be able to.

Imagine that in the manna porridge recipe, the necessary ingredients are indicated: cereals, milk, oil, sugar, salt - but not a word about how much each product needs and in what order them ...
Immediately remembered "Mishkin Porosha", is not it?

Often, the same "Mishkin Poros" is also in the interior, even if you chose the right combination.
Obviously, besides a good compatibility, many different aspects should be taken into account.

It will be completely unrealistic to learn how to work with the color within the framework of one article, but some useful rules can still be mastered.

The first thing to pay attention is the proportion.
- You should not use two colors in the interior of the same saturation equally. At approximately: 2/3 Main color, 1/3 - optional.

- the brighter the color, the less needso that he is noticed and notice.

Therefore, bright and clean colors should not be used as background. And even for large items of furniture and interior. You risks soon to wave even the most favorite color.

But, they are gorgeous as a bright stroke: a strip on the wallpaper, a frame or a bright stain on a picture or on the carpet, a vase or a lamp ceiling, pillows on the sofa. And for the background, the muted version is suitable.

- to make the interior bright and energeticIt is not necessary to make a blue floor, painting the walls green and ordering a red kitchen. If the result disappoints you (too dark, too bright, too Pestro, is badly combined) to correct the error will be extremely difficult and very, very expensive.

It is much easier to add paints to a completely neutral interior in the form of textiles and decorative elements. Carpet and curtains, bedspreads on the bed, pillows on the sofa, a bright picture or lampshade - and the result will be no worse! On the other hand, change it radically you can, spent much less effort and funds.

Separately, I would like to talk about zoning premises using color.

Often you have to hear:
- Bought two (or even three) wallpaper type, how and where to stick them?
- I really want to allocate one of the walls, which one? Or maybe two?
So, when it is appropriate to allocate the wall with the color, and when this is not worth doing this?

Rooms - « Extracted rectangle " - The most common option.
- Color we zonail the room into two equal, or almost equal parts, such as a bedroom and a living room, a bedroom and a children's ...

- Featured "useful" with color zoning for too long and narrow rooms. Here we can allocate the center of the room, visually "having chopping" the edges, having deprived them of colors.

- Perhaps we will want one of the walls to make accentwith color. It is best for this front wall (that, opposite the entrance to the room or diagonally from the entrance).

- For too elongated rooms, it is advisable to highlight a short end wall color.

If we want to focus on a long wall - it is worth allocating not the whole wall, but only its meaningful part.
For example:
1. Zona in the living room, where TV hangs.

2. The woven walls in the bedroom behind the headboard.

Rooms Incorrect form
- Color we can "cut off" lyland Room corners that interfere with us.
- It is quite logical to highlight the niche, alcove or protrusions to other color. ( But it does not necessarily do a priori).

Rooms Square and approximate to the square .
Everything you read above them in most cases categorically contraindicated!
- Do not allocate color one of the walls, do not release a piece of the wall, or angle. By this, we will seriously avoid the original geometry of the room.
"It is worth emphasizing the color of a lone protrusion or an asymmetrical niche.
To emphasize the correct symmetrical shape of the room we can:
- Use inserts of another color or companyon wallpaper in the frame.

For rooms with relatively high ceilings, you can apply horizontal zoning around the perimeter.
It can be applied in rectangular rooms, but it should not be done in too elongated in length.
- With a medium height, the wall is divided as 1/3 and 2/3 of the part.

For higher rooms, it is possible to allocate the top of the wall (approximately 1/4 or 1/5)

DECORATION MATERIALS
Choosing finishing materials, we can not always afford the quality that I would like. It is sad.

But even worse, if the dream of luxury plays with us a sore joke.

Linoleum, which is pretended by a set of parquet or marble.

Cheap small format tile with a blonde marble pattern, the same on each tile.

Plastic panels - "Natural Malachite"

- "samoyar" gold and silver

Such fakes will never be able to create the illusion of an expensive interior in your apartment, but only turn your apartment in the evil and cruel caricature of "expensive-bohatat".
If you are forced to use the materials of the budget segment due to circumstances, your motto will be:
"Beauty in simplicity"

"True refinement is especially noticeable when it is close to simplicity."
Henry Ward Becher

Buy laminate or linolium "tasteful" ordinary board . Neither expensive typical parquet nor exotic breed, nor marble, nor skin, nor fur will be organically look at the surface of the linoleum, cheap tiles, plastic panels and budget wallpapers with a foamed vinyl coating.

By purchasing budget tiles, give preference to one-picture collections, do not abuse decor. It is they, with their poor quality execution and tasteless pattern (to the creation of cheap collections of good designers rarely attract), often give the true price of the tile.

Instead of decors, ( cheap often only by sight, but not for the price) Let the thin strip "cool" mosaic. At a high price, it can be enough for 1-2 meters.

Schwit. Put the tile not to the ceiling, and until the middle of the wall. Currently, there are modern, very high-quality paints for bathrooms. They will protect your walls no worse than a tile . Saving on the number of tiles, you can afford a more expensive and spectacular collection.

If you disassemble the models of budgetary doors - then smooth deaf canvas or classic modest panels look much more solid homegrown "typewide" models.

BADLY

OK

Walls. Do not look at the rooms of a small area, and even with a low ceiling, wallpaper with large flowers, patterns, chic "Damasky". You yourself are stealing precious meters, making room even closer and low.

If the wallpaper shoved you in the soul, make small inserts within or insert pieces of you like wallpapers into the frame, like posters. The background will be monophonic wallpaper, smooth or with texture that will not be so clearly to give out their modest price segment than the wallpaper with a pattern.

Using such a simple intake, for inserts you can allow you to buy a roll of expensive and truly chic wallpapers that will decorate your interior better than 10 rolls cheap with an obsessive alapent pattern.

Do not waste money in vain on the complications of embedded furniture designs in the form of various materials, exotic colors, inserts, curves and asymmetric forms. A cheap cabinet (here is meant the quality of the materials used and accessories, and not its final price) will not be suddenly presentable from all these decorations, although the price can be off to heaven. On the contrary, try using a laconic design and neutral colors "hide" this is a product of contemporary art, maximizing it with a wall.

BADLY

OK

Be careful to the trifles.
They, without claiming great costs, however, will help you to create an illusion of expensive repair, and not at all fake gold and marble.

Corrently sewn pipes in the toilet.
Thin neat metal thresholds instead of humpback frets,

- Fantasy zoning of genital coatings divided by the "humpback" by a spawning.

All these arts came to replace the Soviet uniformity in the 90s of the last century, in the era of ambitious, but mostly poorly educated, distant from art, "new Russians", who wish to stand out in any way.
Unfortunately, the belonging of this "antidice" exists and is currently.

Similar "beams" - a serious threat to your budget. The result will be the brutal disappointment from the "KrakoyarBR" who have hung over the most painful, the clumsy partitions that have turned your apartment to a labyrinth, the speedy alapic drawings. And of course, poisonous smiles are more sophisticated in the style of acquaintances.
Instead of this

Improvise. Show fantasy. Decorate your dwelling with original crafts. Use the usual items in an unusual perspective.
