Color influence
One of the important components is the correctly selected color scheme. There is no need to say that there are any strict limits, since a person selects primary colors and their shades intuitively, according to his inner perception of them.
The most important thing in this matter is that the color scheme is in complete harmony with the overall interior of the room, although no one has canceled improvisation and playing on contrasts.
Classic styles
Classic never goes out of style. It is characterized by pomp, high cost and luxury. Let's look at the most popular design styles that have stood the test of time.
Art Nouveau
The Art Nouveau style has its own distinctive features:
- asymmetrical shapes;
- intricate outlines;
- stained glass windows and stairs;
- arches;
- expensive fabrics;
- wood with exquisite texture;
- climbing plants;
- Forged Products;
- curved lines;
- patterns in the form of peacocks and dragonflies.
Texture combinations
The correct choice of textures in all interior elements is also of no small importance, especially in modern design. After all, a thin and light curtain will not always be appropriate, and it is unlikely that a rocking chair can be replaced with a velvet throne if this is not provided for by the overall style of the room.
However, there are combinations of materials that are worth paying special attention to: A wooden shelving unit with metal lamps or a chair made of natural wool or leather with a metal frame.
Accents with clear lines and patterns will only emphasize the chosen style, and plain surfaces can sometimes be diluted with bright spots.
It is worth considering the fact that modern methods and instructions for decor are more inclined to clear lines, although everyone selects decorative elements at their own discretion - it is very important to achieve harmony not only in the interior, but also with yourself.

The interior of the living room, designed in beige monochrome, is especially interesting with the play of single-color textures. Muted beige velvet upholstery of upholstered furniture, light wood floors, wall panels and nude-colored furniture facades in combination with the shiny surface of the beige-gray “Venetian” delight the eye and touch with its textured variety.
Passage of light
The trend towards creating studio apartments is gradually fading away, but such a layout can still be found quite often. Its main positive aspects are the large free space and abundance of daylight.
Very often, when decorating such a room, glass walls and sliding doors are installed, providing a large flow of sunlight.
- If eyes are the mirror of the soul, then windows are the soul of the house. They can be covered with curtains or left open, although this option is more suitable for a private house overlooking the garden, sea coast or forest.
- In urban environments this is often unacceptable. In a situation where curtains and blinds do not match the style, mirror film, frosted glass or stained glass can save the situation. All this can protect the room from prying eyes and hide the unpleasant landscape outside the window.
- There are films made according to the Gesell mirror principle; they transmit light perfectly and completely ensure the privacy of the home.
Decorating interior items: originality and style
Today, many creative enthusiasts are interested in various techniques that allow them to change the appearance of pieces of furniture and interior design. Selecting and creating details for the appearance of a room is very interesting: the final result depends only on the imagination and abilities of the master. Original chairs, clocks, chests of drawers, tea tables will definitely become the subject of admiration for guests: friends and relatives. In addition, an original item may well become an excellent gift for loved ones who will appreciate the artist’s efforts.
Modern tendencies
Despite the fact that design, like everything in this world, is constantly changing, completely abandoning the past would not be the right decision. Everyone decides this question at their own discretion, it’s unlikely that anyone can give specific advice, the main thing is that everything in the house is perceived as a single whole, even the Russian oven and microwave in the kitchen.
- Today, design involves the complete absence of such interior elements as, for example, carpets on the floor.
- Modern finishing materials (marble, laminate, travertine, etc.) themselves can be an accenting element that emphasizes a certain style.
- The same can be said about modern lamps - they look no less impressive than antique candelabra and candlesticks.
- A separate article can be written about the variety of modern curtains and blinds. It will be enough to note the appearance on sale of products with remote control.
- It is also worth adding that blinds and curtains come in a wide variety of colors, so choosing the right shade will not be difficult.
- Plants can become an optional, but desirable attribute of the room; almost any interior benefits from their presence.
Works of art, like plants, can decorate any room. These can be not only paintings, but also photographs, paintings, geographical maps and even posters. The main thing is to find the right place for them in the overall interior.
Another interesting element that is gaining popularity today is ordinary rope twisted from natural fiber.
In the interior you can make everything from it: flowerpots, curtains, lampshades, edging of a coffee table or a seat for a chair; products made using the macrame technique look very good. This material, unsightly at first glance, can add its own zest to the interior of the room.
It never hurts to add some original decorating ideas to your room design.
- In the bedroom, these can be black candlesticks, lamps, vases, spectacular canopies - in general, objects that can become an accent against a background of calm shades.
- Wooden elements are appropriate for the living room - furniture, picture frames, flower pots.
- It is worth placing soft and bright towels and rugs in the bathroom.
- Objects with smooth shapes are suitable for a child's room: clocks, decorative pillows, even a desk, and the kitchen will be decorated with flowers standing on the windowsill.

The decoration of the walls of a modern kitchen, as a rule, comes down to the design of the apron, since the rest of the surface is covered with the facades of the kitchen unit. Kitchens are occupying an increasingly modest place in the spaces of apartments of residents of megacities, stretching into laconic lines along one of the walls of the living room, and space-saving furniture is built in from floor to ceiling.

If you prefer an interior design with a mirror finish in an expanded format, look at the visualization of the kitchen-dining room interior in the illustration above. Here the mirror wall enhances the illumination of the room and visually increases its area by almost 2 times. The remaining wall area, as the geometry of functionalism dictates to us, is used from floor to ceiling and represents the solid facades of the built-in kitchen unit. This technique allows you to completely hide the furniture cabinets and achieve the effect of being recessed into the wall.
Elimination method
Sometimes when decorating premises they use the exclusion method. Its essence is to remove all unnecessary elements from a room overloaded with decorative elements.
- Sometimes this is hard to do because it’s simply a shame to part with some items, but the end result is worth such sacrifices.
- And then, no one forces you to throw away your favorite thing - it’s enough to find a place for it in the interior of another room or hide it for a while.
Interior in detail
Interior decor is the finishing touches that give the interior completeness and special charm.
The selection of decor is carried out by a specially trained person - a decorator, a specialist in artistic design and interior decoration. Its work determines not only how beautiful the room will be, but also how comfortable and functional the interior will be.
Based on the layout and aesthetics of the space, the decorator selects accessories and places them in the places where they will be located.
There are no trifles in the decoration technique, since every pillow, tablecloth and figurine should look harmonious in the interior and be combined with each other.
The purpose of the decor is to create a unique artistic image of the room.

Why is decor so important and is it possible to do without it?
Decor is important for the design of the space and the subsequent perception of the room by the customer. Decor allows you to add/dim the lighting of a room, highlight certain colors, and place accents. Another advantage of competent decor is the ability to change the character of the decor, without the need to take any drastic measures.
While designers are completely focused on creating the ordered interior, decorators, based on the opinion of the customer and the designer, offer the most successful spatial and compositional solutions. Decoration involves the proper placement of accents and important details that reflect the individuality of the architecture of the room and its owners.
Depending on what tasks the customer sets, decor can be leading in the design of the room or play a secondary role. The leading rail presupposes the presence of certain architectural compositions and decorative elements, which imply a certain aesthetic load. Most often, this is the highlight, which plays a key role.
The decisive factor in the perception of the interior can be a mirror wall panel or several details that combine the design idea into a single whole composition. When decor is given a secondary role, designers initially create spatial solutions where decorative elements are given a minimum of space. It will be difficult to change such an interior in the future depending on the mood, without affecting its main design.
It is necessary to think over the decor at the stage of creating an interior project, since the choice of one or another solution affects the architecture and design of the future image of the room. The decorative items that are most often used in decoration include items whose purchase is not determined solely by functionality. These are beautiful textiles, carpets, vases, baskets, sculptures, various design compositions made of wood, metal, dried flowers, etc.
When there are no decorative elements in the interior, the room looks empty. For this reason, it is extremely important to select each of the elements by color, size, texture in order to create a single picture of ideal perception.
The completeness of the interior lies in the details and touches, since every little thing has its own purpose and meaning.
Principles of interior decoration
Interior decor is responsible for the unified idea of interior design.
Main principles of decoration:
Comfortable and practical interior. Even the most delightful design compositions will begin to irritate over time when, for example, you have to constantly walk around them, this causes inconvenience to the owners of the room. Therefore, first of all – practicality, taking into account the wishes of the customer. It is necessary to understand how many people will be in a particular room, what functions are assigned to a particular room, etc. It often happens that the owners decorate some rooms according to the needs of the guests; this should also be taken into account in the decor.
Unity of design and idea. It is necessary to adhere to the same style of the whole house, the storyline. Finishing materials, wallpaper, furniture and textiles - everything should be combined with each other, complementing each other. It is important that the idea of the architectural design of the room and its decor are unobtrusive and appealing to all the inhabitants of the house.
Bright personality. To achieve a spectacular perception of the overall space and each room separately, it is necessary to use original accessories, stylishly designed decorative pillows, textured textiles, and photographs on the walls. When creating decor, it is necessary to take into account not only the wishes of the owners, but also their style and lifestyle, thinking, and habits. A detailed study of the preferences of the owners of the premises will help create the right atmosphere.
Knowing of limits. A lot of unique, beautiful and exclusive items, all together, do not create a good impression. It is necessary to adhere to a certain moderation and tact in decor in order to achieve the desired effect. Do not confuse the hall of the house with an art gallery or display all the porcelain in the house. Such excesses are unacceptable; it is better to change decorative items, alternating them so that the interior of the room is not overloaded with unnecessary shapes and details.

Basic rules for interior decoration
Decorating is an interesting and very exciting process, but in order to channel your imagination and creativity in the right direction, you need to adhere to some basic rules.
For decoration the following are used:
- art objects;
- color;
- textures;
- ornaments;
- vases;
- paintings.
It would seem that there is nothing difficult in correctly arranging the art objects that the owners of the room liked. But this is not as easy to do as it seems at first glance, since all accessories, vases and paintings, must look harmonious together, and without interrupting each other, be a single whole. We'll tell you how to achieve your goal.
1. The right combination of decorative items.
All, without exception, objects and elements of interior decor must be combined with each other. You need to remember this when choosing vases, decorative pillows, and textiles. To adhere to a single style, take into account the characteristics of certain objects in the setting, combinations of color, shape and texture. For example, use fabrics that are similar in color but have different textures for curtains, tablecloths, and pillows. It is not necessary to strictly match the color; it is enough if the shades are similar.
2. Use no more than 2-3 colors
When decorating open shelves and racks, limit yourself to a few colors. No more than 3 colors or their shades are enough to design architectural compositions in the same style. In addition to this rule, we recommend that the tone of the composition be combined with the color of the room’s decoration and its style.
When choosing the color of the shelf, opt for classic black or white. These neutral tones can be used in any composition, which is very convenient when decorating rooms in all styles, from classic to high-tech.
3. Variety of textures
When creating decor for monochrome or achromatic interiors, do not forget about the variety of textures. Without the use of textures, monochrome interiors will look dull. The rule of three components is used here, that is, three different textures can be combined, these can be glossy, matte and voluminous surfaces.
4. Ornaments
Ornaments are always in trend, but they also need to be used wisely. Remember, if the interior presents several ornament options at once, their number should be odd.
An even number of ornaments will be difficult to combine into a single image later, due to the special perception of the overall picture. Ornaments in the same room should be of different sizes. It is more correct when large ornaments occupy a larger area than small ones, but this condition is optional, it all depends on the aesthetics of the room and its purpose.
5. Vases
When arranging vases, you need to decide for what purposes this decorative item will be used. A vase can support the style of the interior, create a mood, and help place color accents correctly. A wide variety of vases allows you to use vases for various purposes. It remains to choose several options, using the rule: one shape - different colors, one tone - different shapes.
6. Painting
Of course, the easiest way is to choose paintings in the same style as the interior of the room, but it is also possible to act according to the principles of contrast. Paintings by modern masters look great in a classic interior, and ancient paintings fit seamlessly into an ultra-modern loft. It is important to pay attention to color, shades, and design, so that the painting does not contradict the theme of the room, but emphasizes a certain status and aesthetics of the room.

By changing the decor, you can quickly and easily change the mood of the interior. Changing the decor contributes to the desire for new experiments, which is always welcome in decor.
Smart decor allows you to perceive the surrounding environment without tension.
Living room decoration
Decorating a living room is a responsible task, since this is the main room in a residential building, and everything here must be impeccable. To decorate your living room in terms of comfort, functionality and good taste, consider the entire style of the home.
Classic style. Room decor in this style should not “cheapen” the decor. Carpets, tapestries, paintings, portraits in massive frames, and mirrors are used to decorate the living room.
Eclecticism. The style is popular because it can be used in small spaces. The living room needs to be made more presentable, but at the same time maintain all its little details. An eclectic style space can easily combine many details taken from different styles. Depending on the chosen decor, the living room can become a place to relax, turn into a floral oasis, etc. This style presupposes that the room contains decorative elements that are made with your own hands; these inconspicuous and simple details help make the atmosphere of the living room cozy and truly homely.
Country and Provence. These are the so-called “rustic” styles, and based on their name, it is necessary to select the design for the living room. Many small elements will look appropriate here. A variety of textures and colors are welcome. Use painted wall plates of different sizes, ceramic vases with flowers, tablecloths made of rough textiles, etc. to decorate your living room. It is in the Provence and country style that it is not prohibited to display various trinkets that are donated by children, cute photographs with animals, for everyone to see. Use these extensive decorating options to create an attractive, family-friendly living room.
Retro. In this case, you won’t have to spend a lot of money on room decor. Things left over from parents are perfect. You can use a variety of objects and decorative elements from old houses: pillows, furniture, posters, all this will fit perfectly into the interior of a retro-style living room.
Design tips
- Do not rush to purchase decorative items until the color of the walls and ceiling has been determined. First you need to complete the renovation work and put all the furniture in its place. The decor only completes the overall picture of the room, helping some details fit organically into the interior.
- It also happens that the living room may not have enough space for decorative items.
- Excessive decor overloads the room, and if the room is small, decorative elements should also be functional.
The living room is a room where home owners can show off their lifestyle to guests. DIY decor is quite appropriate here.
Decorating the kitchen and decorating the dining room. Table setting
It’s no secret that an elegantly and tastefully set table can increase your appetite, and a beautiful breakfast can give you a boost of energy for the whole day. In addition, if you add just a few bright details to the design of the kitchen, a standard dinner can easily turn into a gala one.
In fact, creating a festive mood using candles, napkins, vases and beautiful cutlery is not difficult.
Textile. Of course, everyone knows how practical paper towels and napkins are, but textiles are incomparably more impressive. Linen tablecloths and textile rugs in the kitchen create a cozy atmosphere and help you enjoy the prepared food.
Candles. By decorating the table with candles, you can turn any dinner or lunch into a real family celebration. Place tall candles in a candelabra in the center of the table; if the table is large, complement the composition with a few more randomly placed candles. To create a romantic atmosphere, candles-tablets, for example, laid out in the shape of hearts, are suitable.
Flowers. Decorate your kitchen space at any time of the year using fresh and dried flowers and ikebana. It is not necessary to purchase designer bouquets; branches of garden trees and bushes decorated with beads or ribbons are also suitable. Plant branches are also used to decorate cutlery.
Fruits and vegetables. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are ideal for kitchen decor. Don’t get hung up on standard designs using apples and oranges; feel free to experiment with compositions by adding eggplants, lemons, leaves, and glass stones to the vases.
Beautiful dishes. Any dish will taste better if served in beautiful dishes. The aesthetic pleasure of contemplating food is complemented by the pleasure of eating.

Decorating a nursery
The difficulty of creating decor for a children's room is that the child grows up and his interests are constantly changing. But, at the same time, changing the decor of a children's room is quite simple, even if you do not remodel and renovate the room.
Correct distribution of space. The children's room should have clearly designated areas for relaxation, development and outdoor games. This distribution allows the child to develop harmoniously. Over time, when the child grows up, the play area can easily be converted into a work area.
Stickers for walls and furniture. This decor can be created together with the baby, especially if the child is small. In preschool age, children like stickers depicting fairy-tale characters, cartoon characters and comic books. Stickers with geographical names, maps, and numbers are suitable for schoolchildren. Even in a teenager’s bedroom, you can see stickers that correspond to his age; these are youth music and film idols.
Decorations on the ceiling. To make your child feel comfortable and fall asleep with pleasure, you can put a night light in the room, but even better, cover the ceiling with stars that glow in the dark. It’s so nice to fall asleep admiring the starry sky.
The decor for the children's room is selected with the child and must match his lifestyle and favorite hobbies.

Rules for building an interior
How to properly decorate the interior? The basic principles that should be followed when decorating the interior are functionality, hygiene, aesthetics, zoning and proper composition. All together it can be called in one word - style. It is he who is influenced by the preferences of the residents, the traditions of life and the tendency to listen to fashionable advice.
To prevent the filling of the room from looking chaotic, there are rules for composing the composition. They are quite simple and easy to do.
Using symmetry and asymmetry
One of the simplest and most common techniques in decorating rooms is symmetry. It is used in arranging furniture and when performing finishing work; it helps eliminate chaos in a room with an abundance of furniture.
Asymmetry is useful when decorating non-standard rooms or when you want to eliminate a touch of formality in the interior, which is quite common in rooms with a classic design.
The role of decorative items
Decor in an interior painting allows you to add color, place accents and give the room a complete look. Cute little things that do not carry any functional load create coziness in the room and give it a touch of “warmth”. If you leave only the decoration and furniture in the room, it will become comfortable, but it is not a fact that it will be pleasant to be in it. Pay attention to offices, hospital wards and other government premises. They look sterile, and it immediately becomes clear that people don’t live here. Because the functional minimum only contributes to the work process, and a person is used to surrounding himself with beauty, little things that become part of his life. At the same time, any designer knows that decor can be given both a leading and a secondary role. In the first case, objects are combined into a complex composition that looks impressive against the neutral background of the decoration and other decorations. If the decor is secondary, then it only highlights the overall stylistic concept and becomes an inconspicuous addition.
The concept of “decoration” reflects the main purpose of decorations in a room. The design is used in theatrical productions to transfer the action to the desired conditions and visualize the background environment.
Dynamics and statics
If you need to arrange the atmosphere for a relaxing holiday, the design focuses on stillness - statics. This technique is used in classic and retro styles, as it involves the use of vertical lines, solid furniture and natural materials in the interior.
For most modern styles, dynamic elements are more acceptable. To achieve this, asymmetry is actively used, leaving maximum free space, and accents are placed using bright colors.
Rhythm and dynamics are a topic for a separate master class on interior decor for beginners. Good advice can be found on specialized forums and websites on the Internet.
What is living space decor?
If we turn to the dictionary, the term “decor” means various kinds of elements and objects that serve to decorate the interior of a room.
Please note that the main requirement that must be met when choosing the decor of an apartment is the harmony of all decorative elements with the overall design and style of the interior.
After all, decor is, in a way, an auxiliary tool that allows you to realize the designer’s idea of embodying a particular style in the interior.
What does the interior consist of?
The main components of any interior are three main factors:
- Lighting. First of all, the common thing is a chandelier located in the center of the room or lamps along the perimeter of the ceiling. In this case, additional light sources can be used, in the form of sconces to illuminate niches or paintings. Individual areas of the room are also illuminated - this also gives a good lighting effect;
- There is no need to talk about the role of plants - they have always brought a feeling of harmony and freshness to any interior. They need to be selected taking into account the characteristics of each plant: lighting level, room humidity, air flow;
- A lot in the perception of the entire room depends on the arrangement of furniture. As a rule, the main piece of furniture is selected - for example, a sofa, table or fireplace - and the entire composition is built around it.
Arches in the interior
I would like to note that an arch in an apartment is not only a decorative element; with the help of this structure it is quite easy to zone and divide the space of a large room.
It is also worth noting that the shape and decor of the arch in the apartment can emphasize the style of the interior and make the home special and original.

Most often, an arch in an apartment serves as a doorway. With the help of an arched structure, the room is visually divided, but at the same time the overall space is preserved.
As a rule, an arch unites and at the same time divides the living or dining area with the work area.
So, we have revealed to you some “secrets” of decorating and creating the interior of an apartment. After studying all the information presented in the article, you can easily put all the recommendations into practice and the result will be “stunning” - ideal, cozy and comfortable housing.
Seasonal ideas
If it’s difficult to choose what kind of decor you can make at home, you should start by decorating according to the season.
- The best decoration for a room in summer is bouquets of flowers. You can simply place them in a vase with water, or you can put pieces of glass, pebbles in the water, or simply tint it. Now there are illuminated vases on sale - they are not cheap, but the effect they produce is simply amazing.
- Curtains in summer are preferably light, light colors, made from natural materials. Simply put, everything in the apartment should indicate that it’s summer and it’s time to relax.
- In winter, you want more of a feeling of warmth and comfort. This can be facilitated by knitted products, for example, cushion covers, rugs, faux or natural fur on the floor. It’s a good idea to install an electric fireplace if you don’t have a real one.
On the eve of the holidays (and winter means Christmas and New Year), garlands, candle arrangements, and, of course, a Christmas tree will be useful - what would a winter holiday be without it.

Zone the space
“The carpet will help you group furniture into zones. It seems to connect the furniture together, both visually and physically. Also form “vignettes” - groups of compositions of three or five items of different heights in the same style. Use trays for this, placing vases, candles, and boxes on them,” advises Dasha.

Collect and collect decor
“It is important that the items are harmoniously selected in relation to the style of the interior. If you have a modern, minimalistic apartment, you should choose functional items with pronounced geometric shapes. To prevent your house from turning into a warehouse of a wide variety of (and of little use) items, remember the principle of the collector. Do a clear analysis, choose a collection theme or color scheme, and buy items within that theme. It is better to abandon small items in favor of larger ones. However, don’t forget: the house changes with you and acquires details - and this is absolutely normal,” says Dasha.

“Any interior without “filling” will seem empty - it is thanks to the decor that we read the soul of the space. By filling our space with various objects, we make the house unique and different from other spaces,” says decorator, set stylist and aesthetic director of the Lucky Group restaurant group Valeria Sergeeva . “By selecting decorative items to suit our taste, we automatically fill the house with our energy and individuality - the main thing here is not to follow trends, but to choose with our hearts - items that are timeless and styleless, simple and understandable. And when there is already a decent base, it can be diluted with fashionable and unusual items.”

Decorate your home with seasonal flowers
Valeria advises buying fresh flowers every week, making a choice in favor of seasonal plants and herbs: in spring - flowering branches of apple trees, jasmine, magnolia, in summer - hydrangeas, daisies, wildflowers, in autumn - dried flowers and graphic bare branches, and in winter - amaryllis and Ranunculus.

In addition to their decorative properties, flowers can add a colorful and light mood. “I can say the same about candles: the more candles in the house, the more comfortable and calm you will feel,” suggests Valeria.
Handmade
Buying any necessary decorative element in a store is not a problem, but things created with your own hands have always been valued much higher. These could be framed photographs, lamps, models of cars or sailboats. Embroidery and paintings painted by the owners themselves or friends look very original.
By and large, you can use to create a lamp, coffee table, book or flower shelf, etc., even those things that you planned to throw away as unnecessary. Such seemingly inconspicuous details can fill a home with warmth and comfort.
The role of textiles
Fabric products can be a real find when decorating an interior. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be curtains.
- These can be tablecloths, pillows, bedspreads, pillowcases - in a word, everything that can be made from fabric.
- Light curtains can be made from multi-colored ribbons, and there is no need to sew them onto the main fabric - just fasten them to the curtain rod.
- You can make a lampshade with your own hands using fabric and wire.
Napkins and tablecloths crocheted or sewn from lace fabric look great.

Interior painting
Recently, a lot of photo wallpapers have appeared that allow you to create a picture that takes up the entire wall. But if you have the ability, you can paint the surfaces yourself.
True, this process is quite long and labor-intensive; the wall must first be prepared by leveling out the unevenness and priming it.
- It’s worth starting with simple ornaments. Sketches should not be made with a black pencil - it leaves noticeable marks, and erroneous lines are difficult to erase later.
- It is better to use water-based acrylic paint, and upon completion of the work, the canvas should be coated with colorless varnish. You can also use stencils.
- Creating your own unique interior, and even with your own hands, is a difficult task, but doable.
It is enough to make some effort and keep in mind a set of rules that professionals apply in practice.
Interesting photos of interior decor can also be seen on the World Wide Web.
Artistic elements in the interior
As a rule, paintings, drawings or photographs are used as wall decor in an apartment. But please note that such decor must be selected with extreme caution.
In this case, it is very important to take into account the style in which the entire interior is made. For example, for an eclectic interior it is best to choose impressionism. But painting in the spirit of romanticism is an ideal option for a classic interior.
The fashion for wall painting also does not lose its relevance. Therefore, one of the walls of the room can be safely painted. Recently, it is also extremely common to find so-called modular sets of paintings.
