Room design: different rooms according to purpose, size, shape. Photos of styles and finishes when designing a room.

Sometimes a house can tell even more about a person than he himself. Housing reflects the character, taste and sense of style of the owner. But creating your own interior that will show the owner’s individuality is not at all easy.

You need to be inspired by fashion design magazines for a long time, compare different styles and look for the one you like best. But it is also important not to forget about the functionality of the room: the furniture should not only be beautiful, but also practical, comfortable and reliable, and the overall picture should be cozy and pleasant.

You can always turn to designers for help, but this is a rather expensive service, and besides, only he himself can create an interior that one hundred percent reflects the character of the owner. Then it will be pleasant to return to it every day, and the admiration of the guests is guaranteed.

All rooms can be divided according to purpose, size and shape.

Living room design

For each family it has its own special function. If this is a place where loved ones spend every evening together, then this room should be as cozy as possible. Install soft armchairs and large sofas, a round coffee table and complement the interior with a small amount of decor, for example, a soft carpet. But if it is formal in nature, for example, when the living room is intended for receiving guests, it is better to choose a minimalist style. Please note that traditional “walls” are long outdated - they have too many extra shelves, which are often filled with unnecessary tableware, souvenirs, and other things. Get rid of unnecessary things - a stylish living room should have a minimum of items; minimalism and neatness are in fashion now.

Natural materials, restrained northern colors, a lot of wood - the interior of the apartment in the Mosfilmovsky residential complex, designed in the Scandinavian style, is cozy and a little eclectic. And among the iconic details there is a unique designer dining table made from a longitudinal slab of centuries-old wood and a stylish fireplace in the corner of the living room.

Scandinavian charm

Laconic gray walls combined with high white plinths and wooden floors give that Scandinavian flavor that everyone likes. Everything is very easy and simple, but at the same time unobtrusive and stylish. And the layout in such an interior can be both modern and classic: with a symmetrical composition and paired details.

The design of the bedroom in the photo is based on shades of sand and an expressive linen texture, which is present in the upholstery of the vintage chair, in the design of the soft headboard and drawer of the bed, and in the curtains on the window. The picture is complemented by a chandelier, floor lamp and sconce with metal shades. And the wide engineered wood flooring adds a touch of rustic charm to the decor.

The “girlish” version of the Scandinavian style is very cozy and will appeal to absolutely everyone. In addition to a delicate creamy-powdery palette, it involves the use of textiles (both plain and with small floral prints), white furniture and lamps with fabric lampshades.

Calm northern colors, a lot of wood and expanded functionality are what you need for a teenage boy’s children’s room. A comfortable workplace by the window can be supplemented with a couple of shelves or a rack, and the sleeping area can be supplemented with an original designer map of the world.

Popular trio

Sea pebbles, charismatic concrete and warm cognac wood are the secret to the success of the bathroom in the photo. And to visually lighten the situation and simplify cleaning, the designers equipped the room with hanging furniture and plumbing fixtures.

Each interior style is good in its own way. But no matter what option you choose for your apartment in Moscow - minimalism, art deco, loft or classic - designers and craftsmen will implement it perfectly.

Bedroom design

Modern apartments cannot boast of a large area. Because of this, the bedroom gets the smallest room, and its furnishings are limited to only a bed and two bedside tables. Many people even try to do without this room, but then they should choose a sofa with a high-quality orthopedic mattress, otherwise such restrictions will soon lead to health problems. Also, the bedroom can be made even more functional by combining it with a dressing room, which is separated by a glass partition. You should choose calm pastel colors that promote relaxation.

Kitchen Design

An important nuance when decorating the kitchen interior is the installation of built-in household appliances. Therefore, before starting repairs, it is worth taking into account its size, power, distance from the wall, cord length and other parameters, as well as the location of the sockets. If you neglect this point, installing the equipment and the headset itself will be problematic. As for the apron, designers suggest using unusual tiles, textures or embossed plastic. Glass aprons look interesting only when they have a stylish design.

Bathroom design

The design of the bathroom will depend on its area. The large room has plenty of room to roam around - here you can install not only a bathtub, but also a shower stall, a washstand, additional bedside tables, and even combine it with a bathroom. In a modest bathroom, you should limit yourself to the essentials and think about replacing the bathtub with a shower - this will help save space. When decorating a modern bathroom, designers give preference to discreet tones - peach, coffee, beige, olive, and shades of gray. Gone are the panels on the walls - replaced by laconic plain walls, sometimes decorated with a small amount of mosaic.

Minimalism. Interior of a 3-room apartment in the residential complex “Level Amurskaya”

Pleasant to the eye gray and brown tones, furniture of strict geometric shapes, multi-level light, an abundance of wood, spectacular textiles in berry shades - the interior of a 3-room apartment in the minimalist style, located in the Level Amurskaya residential complex, looks very cozy. Despite the urban design solutions, peace reigns here and one feels close to nature.

A place to live

The center of the spacious kitchen-living room is rightfully the dining room. It unobtrusively zones the space and immediately attracts attention thanks to soft armchairs with blueberry-colored upholstery, an unusual lamp and a beautiful tree in a tub. Comfortable dining furniture is ideal for long, friendly meals, but does not block the view or deprive the room of the feeling of spaciousness.

Functional comfort

The atmosphere of comfort and coziness in this bedroom is created by a laconic color scheme including shades of earth and moss, as well as warm wood. And the necessary functionality - a sleeping and reading area, a workplace, a storage system - is implemented through proper planning.

Convenience in the little things

All project photos Photos of the interior of a children's room in a modern style

In the interior of this children's room, everything is thought out to the smallest detail: a storage system, the mirror facade of which visually expands the space, a workspace with spacious shelves, and a relaxation area. And the authors of the project turned the wall above the sofa into an art gallery.

Current zoning

All project photos Photos of a bathroom interior in a minimalist style

The interior of the bathroom is strict, effective and orderly. This is thanks to the ergonomic layout and properly selected finishes. And, in order to make the most of the available space, the designers designed a non-standard shower corner and niches for storing small items.

Hallway design

The amount of furniture in the hallway also depends on its size. If space allows, you can install a built-in wardrobe and even organize a wardrobe there. But if the hallway is small, it is better to install essential furniture: a shoe rack, a hanger for outerwear and hats, a mirror. You can add small decorative items such as vases. It is better to choose a light color scheme, since the hallway is the most unlit part of the apartment. Additional lighting in the form of sconces or floor lamps will not be superfluous.

Modern loft. Design of a three-room apartment in the residential complex “Ordinary Miracle”

Red vintage brick, black metal, natural wood and... blue LED lighting - in the design project of a three-room apartment in the Ordinary Miracle residential complex, details familiar to a loft are presented in an original futuristic environment. The result is an organic living space: bright, light, with a warm atmosphere.

Important element

The public area of the apartment is a bright studio, where the role of a zoning element is played by a narrow linear bar counter. It does not hide the space and does not attract undue attention, but significantly expands the functionality of the kitchen-living room.

Architecture with a secret

The main decorative element in this kitchen-living room is a panel made of black marble and a golden openwork panel. It is located on the wall, behind which the dressing room is hidden, and visually divides the spacious kitchen-living room into two parts.

Bright accents

Thanks to the spectacular black edging that successfully outlines the sleeping area, and the additional relief on the wall at the head of the bed, the bright bedroom looks very expressive. And stylish accessories add brightness to it: yellow decorative pillows, black shelves and an original installation of tree trunks.

The loft brick used to decorate the base of one of the walls, a fragment of the BigBen dial, a chest with the image of the Union Jack are a spectacular reminder of Foggy Albion. And the voluminous initials of the room owners, placed in the sleeping area, are responsible for personalizing the interior of the nursery for two boys.

Absolute ease

The combination of light blue LEDs, white gloss and mirrors gives a feeling of lightness and freshness. And the source of eco-motives is light wood and the author’s wall-mounted phytomodule with stabilized moss.

Cabinet design

Not everyone can allocate a separate room for work, but if the area of the apartment allows it, this is the right decision, because no one will disturb you here. There is a stereotype that an office must be strict, like an office. However, this is not true at all: if you are a creative person and your work is related to art, allow yourself to go beyond the boundaries and make your workspace bright and creative. Multi-colored accents, bean bag chairs, and abstract paintings will only enhance your office while highlighting your character. The environment should be conducive to work. Don't forget about installing a cabinet and shelving - everyone will need them.

Room design by size and shape

If everything is clear with the size - the room can be small, medium or large, then with the shapes things are more complicated. The most common rooms are square and rectangular, but you can also find L-shaped, polyhedron-shaped and even round. On the one hand, creating an interior for such unusual shapes can be difficult, but on the other hand, the room turns out to be original and creative. Of course, it is advisable to return the room to the correct geometry by covering extra corners with cabinets, but you can also emphasize the features of the room by placing furniture in the corners.

Small room design

When setting up a small area, you will have to endure a little hardship and think about how to use the space as efficiently as possible. The most popular option is to install a folding sofa, which combines a sleeping place, drawers for bedding and the seat itself. Another option is a bed built into a closet. You can use other original ideas, for example, use a window sill instead of a workplace. It is necessary to hang racks and shelves on the walls, which significantly save space.

Visual techniques will also help to increase space. Light wallpaper perfectly reflects light, so it makes the room feel more spacious. The same function is performed by mirrors, well-placed lighting and textured photo wallpaper.

Solutions for small rooms

After writing this material, I had a lot of ideas in my head on how to transform your bedroom in an apartment, or a hallway, or a bathroom. But what if you are unlucky with the footage and you are forced to huddle in a minimal space? Living in an apartment with tiny rooms can be a challenge: how can you make your limited space feel larger? Try these simple home decorating ideas that won't steal precious space.

Ideas for visually expanding space

Forget about top-end matte black walls, unfortunately, this is not an option for small spaces.

It is better to use light colors on the walls and floors. Soft shades make a cramped room seem more spacious.

Light walls for a small apartment

1Hang a mirror

Place a mirror in front of a window and it will reflect light into the room, making the space feel more airy. The larger the mirror, the better.

Large mirror opposite the window for an airy space

2Add more metallic accents

A flickering lamp, light fixture, or other object with a reflective metal surface will have a similar effect to a mirror, reflecting light and brightening the space.

3Install hanging shelves

They offer ample storage space without weighing down the interior or creating the bulk of wall cabinets or bookcases. You can even swap out your nightstands for wall shelves.

Hanging shelves for storing things

4Visually enlarge the windows

This effect is achieved with the help of curtains, if they are installed not directly above the windows, but under the ceiling - this effect visually makes the window taller. The same trick is used to visually increase the width of a window by hanging curtains a few centimeters wider than the side panels.

Curtains to the ceiling visually increase the height of the ceilings

5Match the color of the curtain with the walls

Curtains that blend into the walls create a continuous line that makes the room feel much larger.

6Choose compact furniture

Choose furniture that fits into a smaller space - luckily, these days, even traditional bulky chairs have been replaced by upholstered club chairs that have a narrower width, so you can get the same cozy spring look without skimping on space.

Compact and necessary furniture for a small apartment

7Choose air parts instead of fundamental structures wherever possible

For example, instead of a solid wood table, choose a clear acrylic table or one with an exposed metal base.

8Think about storage

An easy way to keep a small room free of clutter is to choose furniture with storage space, such as a coffee table with a shelf underneath, a bench with bins underneath, and an ottoman with a removable top and empty space inside.

9Make your furniture mobile

Buying furniture on casters—or outfitting it yourself with casters—allows you to easily rearrange pieces as needed, whether it's a chair, table, or kitchen shelving.

Mobile and functional furniture

10Decorate your rooms with plants

Greenery makes even the smallest space feel fresher and lighter. If you don't have floor space, try hanging flower pots.

Pots with plants around the perimeter of the room

11Use open boxes

This is another new trend in the world of interior design that is indispensable for small spaces. Hang your jewelry on pretty boards with hooks to clear valuable drawer space in your bedroom. The same applies to the kitchen when it is necessary to clear the space of small parts.

12Move furniture away from the walls

Even a few inches between the wall and the back of the sofa can make your living room feel more open.

13Add vertical stripes on walls or curtains to visually lift the ceiling and make the room appear taller

Don’t be afraid to mix materials and textures, experiment with tactile contradictions – such as rough and smooth, cold and warm, hard and soft.

Middle room design

There is already room to roam here. Unlike a small room, where functionality comes first, when decorating a medium-sized room, you can think about style and interior design. There are two main approaches: to focus on flashy decor and furniture, placing them against a neutral background, or to decorate the floor and walls in bright colors, and make the furniture calm and laconic. The average area allows you to combine several rooms. For example, you can organize a work area and a relaxation space. It is important to separate each zone using zoning techniques. You can divide a room both with the help of partitions and with the help of visual techniques, for example, by painting the walls in different colors. You can limit yourself to a budget option: install a sofa at the junction of two zones, so it will delimit them.

Curtain design

Curtains are an integral part of the design of the room, you have to limit yourself to blinds or roller blinds, but it’s hard to resist the number of full-fledged stylish curtains. Classic curtains are often used, but curtains such as Roman curtains find their place in apartments and houses: they are distinguished by airiness, delicate shades, and horizontal folds. Austrian curtains are distinguished by the presence of laces for lifting them and the predominance of expensive shiny fabrics in the design: cambric, silk. London curtains reflect a chic English style: graceful waves reminiscent of the Roman style, distinguished by high costs of materials and type of assembly. The design of a small room does not exclude the presence of curtains: you can choose them of the required length and color. Curtains with photo printing are popular - such an interior element will allow you to adjust the visual perception of the size of the room.

Large room design

A large room is a real field for imagination. If it makes up a significant part of the housing, it would be rational to divide it into several zones. They often combine a living room and a kitchen, separating them with a bar counter. Sometimes they additionally organize a place for eating by installing a dining table next to the kitchen. Furniture and decor should be large and noticeable, because small details can easily be lost in such a space. Don't forget about lighting: a large room requires a lot of light.

Modern interior: styles, ideas, examples of projects

Current trends in home design are commonly called modern interior design. This broad concept is associated with a whole group of interior trends that are sensitive to the demands of the times. They are united by the desire for cleanliness and clarity of lines, selectivity in decor, and focus on practicality.

What is Modern Interior?

Let's define the terminology. Is there a difference between the content of the phrases “modern interior” and “modern style”? Eat!

The first is a general name for a group of ideologically similar trends in the design of apartments and houses. And the second is just one of these trends.

It is worth mentioning that today experts note a move away from pure stylistics towards mixed, compromise design ideas. And this means new means of expression, interesting zoning techniques and fresh planning solutions.

Fashionable modern interiors in art deco style

Having emerged as a style of luxury and glamor, the current art deco in interiors is more democratic and accessible for implementation. The direction is among the interior design trends of 2022.

Character traits:

large geometric prints in wall decoration and textiles;
an abundance of mirror and glossy surfaces;
broken lines as an accent;
contrasting color combinations (for example, black wooden chairs with white upholstery);
a smart balance between expensive decor and laconic furniture.

Neoclassicism - aristocratic style in a new interpretation

Well suited for both spacious country houses and small apartments. Adapted to modern materials (including artificial ones), it preserves the principle of symmetry and natural motifs in decor.

Expressive means of a modern classic interior:

traditional moldings and cornices as a way to indicate symmetrical relief;
furniture silhouettes are straighter, lighter, without pretentious decoration;
the color scheme is predominantly light, bright elements of natural shades are appropriate;
classic chandeliers very successfully coexist with spotlights;
antiques, but in very moderate quantities.

Ideas for a modern interior in a minimalist style

The secret of the sustainable popularity of this trend lies in the simplicity of forms, clarity of color, free and at the same time organized space:

the amount of furniture is minimal, but sufficient for comfort;
shapes and lines are laconic;
the minimalist style does not set strict limits on color: warm pastels, cold metallic, and natural shades look good;
when zoning with sliding or transparent partitions, artificial light and materials, the main goal is achieved - to leave a feeling of open space;
panoramic glazing provides maximum natural light, which also helps create a cozy living environment.

High-tech - aesthetics of technology

The style of progressive people. It is rarely found in its pure form in modern interiors, but the main features are easy to identify:

straightness, simplicity of form;
neutral-cold shades, primary colors - white, gray, black, several bright accents are allowed;
surfaces are smooth, glossy;
main materials - untreated brick, glass, metal, concrete;
minimum decor.

The high-tech design is full of technical innovations - a smart home system, control by voice and remote commands. Moreover, the electronics are not exposed, but hidden to emphasize the open layout.

Modern style: simple solutions for comfort

Without relying on strict rules and regulations, this direction embodies the idea of convenience and practicality.

Features of modern style in the interior:

uses natural and artificial materials, suitable for design with a small budget;
as finishing it uses plaster, wallpaper, ceramic tiles, laminate, plain carpeting;
the color scheme is restrained (white, gray, light beige, black) in monochrome or contrast, complex composite tones are allowed;
furniture of simple shapes, functional, with a minimum of decor;
planning solutions are open type, combined rooms are common (living room-kitchen, living room-bedroom, bedroom-office).

Beautiful modern loft interiors

Despite the fact that this type of design is associated with industrial facilities converted into residential ones, today a city apartment can also be decorated in the loft style. The main thing is that the rooms are not too small and have high ceilings.

Features of the direction:

a minimum of finishing, a favorite technique is concrete-like plaster on the floor and walls, an accent wall with aged brickwork;
large windows, panoramic glazing;
as decor - graffiti, art panels, basketball hoops;
there is not much furniture, which also acts as a means of zoning (for example, a bookcase separates the bedroom and living room);
the choice of color is democratic, but a neutral palette is preferable - gray, white, brown.

Eclecticism - the art of combinations

The main technique in design is to select and combine objects selected not according to style, but according to the same shape, color, and texture. You can take the most interesting things from different directions and end up with an original space design.

To create eclecticism in the interior, it is important to follow the rules:

walls should have a light background (white, beige) for a better combination of furniture and accessories of different colors;
identical patterns in curtains, furniture upholstery, and carpet patterns will visually unite dissimilar objects into a coherent composition;
It will be easier to arrange furniture of different styles if you select elements with the same shape and silhouette;
A detail that is deliberately different from the rest of the design (for example, a chandelier or dining chairs) will beautifully enliven the atmosphere.

Modern living room interior

The main trend is the creation of an open plan. Visual zoning is done by grouping furniture, mobile partitions, podiums, color schemes, and differences in textures. The interior design of a modern living room is characterized by:

a variety of geometric shapes of furniture;
transformable furniture;
combination of glass, metal, natural wood in finishing;
a combination of glossy and matte, smooth and embossed textures;
lamps of original design, often with metal parts.

When choosing and arranging a furniture group, it is important not to clutter the space, but to make do with a minimum of items: a sofa, a coffee table, a couple of armchairs, a TV stand. Moreover, the “television” stand is called more conventionally, because It is now customary to hang the TV on the wall; Its main function is storage space and a stand for accessories.

The use of floor and wall carpets in decoration is a fashion trend. These can be fluffy, smooth, wicker products, imitation animal skins - bright, colorful, plain, with the effect of glamorous wear.

Modern living room interior ideas in different styles

When renovating a 4-room apartment, the public area - a combined living room, dining room and kitchen - was decided to be done in a light neoclassical version. The walls are decorated with moldings and multi-level cornices with built-in lighting. The beige upholstery of the sofa goes well with the light brown wooden floor.

In the modern interior of a living room with a bay window, the central place is occupied by a sofa group with a TV area, and in the bay window there is a dining area. Classic cornices and rosettes are adjacent to chrome lamps: sconces and ceiling “points”.

The design of a minimalist living room in a townhouse interior project combines black and white glossy surfaces, mirror inserts, and transparent partitions. The space is perceived as open due to the location of the kitchen, recreation area and office on the same line.

The interior of an elite apartment, implemented in the Art Deco style, attracts attention with color contrasts and accentuated decorativeness in the form of furniture, lamps, carpet designs, sculptures and paintings, a combination of matte and glossy textures in the upholstery of sofas. The abundance of decor does not violate the main principle of modern interiors, and the living room space remains open due to the large area.

Modern interior design of a living room in an eclectic style from a cottage project neatly mixes classics, minimalism and art deco. A light background makes it possible to bring to the fore accessories and decorative solutions: a multifaceted lamp, a poster with a deer, a cabinet-chest made of aged solid wood, wallpaper with a zigzag pattern.

Modern kitchen interior

Current kitchen design is based on simplicity, functionality and harmony. Purely practical solutions - creating conditions for convenient cooking and maintaining cleanliness - are combined with the arrangement of a comfortable dining area.

Main features of modern kitchen design:

free choice of finishing materials - wood, artificial stone, plastic, glass, brick, ceramic tiles (they are environmentally friendly, decorative and practical);
a large area is characterized by an island arrangement of furniture; a popular technique is combining the island with a bar counter;
finishing of the apron performs utilitarian and decorative functions: it adds a color or texture accent; a hood of an unusual shape also participates in the design;
built-in appliances (oven, microwave, dishwasher) allow the work surface to remain free. One of the trends in kitchen design is modular designs for the smallest space (combining a pull-out worktop, hob and sink);
common color contrasts: black and white, dark brown and white, red and gray; a very fashionable trend - dark blue headsets;
Be sure to have spot lighting above the work area, local lamps above the bar counter and dining table. The luminous flux is only neutral so that the color of the prepared dishes is not distorted.

Modern ideas in kitchen interiors: examples of projects

The design of the kitchen area from the neoclassical style house project uses beige tones. Glossy facades, floor tiles and curtains set the tone. The spacious room is divided into working and dining areas, the island is combined with a bar counter. The light beige surfaces and cream upholstery of the chairs contrast beautifully with the black tabletops, furniture legs and chandelier.

The completed apartment project in a futuristic style features a three-color kitchen. The image is very laconic: white countertops, varnished white and wooden facades, black finishing of the wall and bar counter. A mirrored splashback complements the modern design.

In the white interior of a private house, the cooking area is separated by a transparent sliding partition. The kitchen design is minimalist: black wooden and glossy white facades are combined with white marble countertops, the contrasting color scheme is softened by the warm wood shade of the island. The built-in set without handles creates the illusion of a monolithic wall. Ceiling soffits evenly illuminate the work area.

A modern high-tech kitchen design was implemented during the renovation of a two-level apartment. Rich gray shades are used in the decoration and furniture, models of built-in appliances are made of stainless steel, and the raw edges of the stone countertop of the island-counter emphasize brutality. As does the shiny metal hood above the work area.

The modern kitchen interior from the project of a three-room apartment combines a neutral light background (light gray walls, ceramic floors and white furniture facades) and the rich olive color of dining chairs and curtains. The lighting solution is as streamlined as possible: directional ceiling soffits and backsplash lighting in the cooking area, its own built-in shelf lighting in the bar area, a pendant lamp above the dining table.

Modern bedroom interior

A cozy space with a convenient layout and carefully calculated decor - this is the design of a bedroom in modern styles.

Design features:

The leading technique is monochromatic finishing. For walls, furniture and accessories, it is advisable to choose one primary color, adding two or three additional ones. These should be calm colors: white, gray, beige, brown.
A plain background needs a colorful accent, then the interior will come to life. As an accent, you can highlight one wall with a different color, use a picture with a catchy palette, or a bright blanket.
Geometric shapes predominate in the designs of wallpaper, three-dimensional plaster, and floor carpets. Carpets with long pile and without ornaments look very beautiful, as well as imitation animal skins.
The headboard area is usually highlighted with textured wallpaper, plaster, leather or wood panels, a composition of shelves, and fabric.
To zone the space, podiums, lightweight sliding partitions, and screens are used. In the large bedroom, a separate space is allocated for a dressing room, study, and bathroom.
Storage system options: built-in wardrobe, modular system located on both sides of the bed, drawers under the bed, open shelving and hangers.

Bedroom interior: modern design ideas

Industrial aesthetics can be successfully integrated into a living space; the loft style from the design of a 2-room apartment is proof of this. The decoration of the bedroom is dominated by rough textures: concrete walls, floor and ceiling, cement lamp stands, untreated brickwork behind the bed.

Rich gray shades are supported by the metal of the lamps. But the warm brown colors of the bedspread, leather chair and wooden TV stand bring the necessary balance to both the palette and textures.

In the modern interior of a bedroom from an apartment in brown tones, the emphasis is on light wood colors (a typical example of monochromatic finishing). The gray fabric upholstery of the bed is supported by gray floor tiles in the bathroom area. According to the project, the bathroom is arranged in the same space as the bedroom.

In another stylish apartment design project, white color predominates, making darker colors more noticeable. The main idea in the design of the bedroom was the combination of steel-colored textiles with a white background, a dark brown wall with an art deco pattern and a stone fireplace surround with amber-gray veins.

Modern bathroom interior

Contemporary design loves order. The bathroom has functional areas: bath/shower area, sink, toilet. There is an area for storing household chemicals, towels, and cosmetics. A separate place will be organized for a washing machine, dryer, and laundry basket. It is customary to separate zones with different purposes by partitions - transparent glass or solid ones; finishing materials will help with visual differentiation.

Features of modern bathroom interior design:

The choice of shape and color of plumbing fixtures is influenced by the style of the room. The best solution is wall-mounted models (they visually lighten the interior and simplify cleaning). Oval, round and rectangular sinks built into a stone or wooden countertop are common. Mixers are also hidden in the wall; instead of traditional two-valve products, single-lever ones are in use.
It is customary to hide technical equipment (washing machines, dryers) behind furniture facades to avoid the effect of clutter. The vertical arrangement of equipment will save space. Accessories for water treatments, on the contrary, are best left in plain sight – as decoration.
The modern bathroom interior is characterized by versatility. In an exclusive design, both a free-standing font of the simplest form, for example, made of concrete, and a minimalist shower corner in the form of a glass partition and a drain hole in the floor look equally luxurious and fashionable.
Hanging cabinets made of wood or MDF, drawers under the bathroom, and a cabinet under the sink act as storage places. Their design is based on clear shapes and lines, simple color schemes.
The preferred finishing colors are natural: white, gray, blue, brown, green - in contrast or monochrome. A beautiful effect with a monochromatic palette will be achieved by a combination of textures (smooth, embossed, porous) and a competent lighting scenario.

Bathroom design in modern ideas

A variant of the modern interior of a compact bathroom in the design of a 2-room apartment. Light gray color dominates here. The walls, floor and font are lined with large and mosaic tiles, the gray background is diluted for contrast with dark brown areas. The double sink is illuminated from below and appears to float.

Modern hallway interior

Functionality and practicality come first here, because... This is the most accessible area in an apartment or house. Hence the requirements for materials, furniture and color schemes.

So, the design of a modern hallway is characterized by:

Ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles as flooring - plain or with a geometric pattern. The walls are painted or covered with moisture-resistant wallpaper.
Multifunctional furniture. The bench for putting on shoes can be equipped with a storage box, the pouf comes complete with a hanger, and on top of the shoe rack there is a table for bags, gloves, and keys. Depending on the size of the room, the wardrobe can be compact or spacious, with sliding doors. It also serves as a full-length mirror.
Built-in furniture is a profitable solution: it combines a variety of shelves, drawers, compartments, and seats. The entrance area looks freer due to the fact that the cabinet facades and the wall are perceived as one whole.
The restraint of the decor is prescribed by the style, which is why furniture takes on the role of decoration. For example, an original shaped hanger or a brightly colored pouf.
The purpose of color is to expand the space and compensate for the lack of natural light in most cases. The main shades in the modern interior of hallways are white, beige, sand, gray, brown. Bright colors will be appropriate in large rooms with high ceilings. Neutral combinations of white, gray, sand and black are very comfortable to perceive. Matte and glossy finishes will add variety.

In the design project of the townhouse, the hallway is designed in a light gray color scheme with a contrasting brown finish for the door area and wall decorative element. Mirror panels expand a narrow space; soffits and hidden linear lighting also work for this task.

In an apartment decorated in beige tones, the hallway decoration also combines light gray and dark brown colors. The floor is tiled with beige porcelain stoneware, and the entrance group is framed by a module of a hinged wardrobe and mezzanines with glossy coffee-colored facades. There is a wide bench for seating. Laconic and comfortable.

The white hallway in a modern design from the project of a small private house looks incredibly elegant. Beige marble, mirrors and tinted black wardrobe fronts are combined here.

Modern nursery interior

Decorating a child’s room in modern styles is a way to get an affordable, inexpensive and beautiful environment. Simple shapes are combined with pure colors and ergonomic furniture.

Features of children's room design:

The choice of finishing materials is wide: wood, leather, plastic, tiles, laminate, polyurethane, safety glass. The main requirement is practicality.
Furnishing involves organizing a variety of storage spaces in the form of shelving, open and closed shelves, pull-out sections, and built-in cabinets.
If bright colors and patterns are provided, the rule of local use applies: on one of the walls, in a carpet pattern, in textiles, a wall panel.
The furniture and decor contain simple and clear forms. And geometric shapes can become the basis for repeating motifs: for example, a circle can be read in the shape of lamps, a chair at a desk, or in the ornament of a bedside rug.
Ceiling soffits, table lamps, sconces have an unusual design due to materials: textured glass, colored polyurethane, bent plastic.

Modern interior of a children's room in examples

In the design of a 5-room apartment, the nursery for a teenage boy is made in the loft style. The accent wall is decorated with brickwork with graffiti, and the adjacent one also has a bright print. The sleeping and working areas are separated by a partition-shelf. The beige and brown color scheme of the room is supported by a pear chair and a glossy wardrobe.

In the modern design of a room for a girl (from the project of a cozy apartment), the main white color is successfully combined with accents: a green hanging chair, a pink bedside table, a yellow lamp shade, a green Roman blind. The room is elongated, this will make it possible to logically arrange play, sleeping, and work areas, and organize a resting place on the loggia. The wardrobe on one side and the wall of the loggia form a niche for the bed.

Noble white color became the background in this nursery (apartment project in the neoclassical style). Contrasting accents here are blue - in textiles, the decoration of the head of the bed, the upholstery of the chair in the work area. Numerous storage spaces combine solid fronts and open shelves and racks.

Rectangular room design

Such rooms can be quite long and narrow, so they require adjustments. Long curtains will help with this, smoothing out the disproportion of the room. Wallpaper with a horizontal stripe is highly discouraged - it will make the room even longer, turning it into a corridor.

It would be wise to divide a rectangular room into zones. If it combines a living room and a bedroom, then the bed should always be placed at the end of the room so as not to disturb vacationers. Zoning does not have to be clear; a regular carpet or different wall coverings will cope with the delimitation function, which will help adjust the length. Lighting also plays a big role: one part of the room, for example, the sleeping area, can be made less illuminated and more obvious, focusing on the living room.

Square room design

With the furnishings of a square room, things are more complicated. It is best suited for arranging a living room or office, as it is easy to create ideal, strict proportions. It is better to place the kitchen in a rectangular room - the square will steal the space for the kitchen set, but there will be extra space in the middle. It is advisable to choose paintings in a rectangular shape, lengthening the space. A horizontal print on the wallpaper will also help with this.

Room design styles

When trying to make the interior practical and functional, it is important not to forget about the external component. Fortunately, the choice of styles is huge, and everyone can find the one that most fully reflects the character and personality of the owner. All housing should be designed in the same style, or at least two similar ones. You can’t mix several styles in one apartment, and especially in one room - you’ll end up with a tacky, tasteless environment. Light, calm tones, diluted with bright decorative objects, would be appropriate in almost any style.

Most popular styles:

High tech. This is a style with an emphasis on technology and modernity. It is characterized by strict lines, white, black, red colors, diluted with silver inserts and elements, as well as an abundance of glass and metal surfaces.
Vanguard. It is distinguished by originality and abstractness. It is perfect for decorating rooms that combine several zones, as it often has a non-standard layout. Furniture of unusual shapes and colors. It is imperative to have a semantic accent that attracts attention.
Eco style. A style that is gaining popularity, manifested in the absence of plastic and other non-natural materials. In rooms decorated in this style, you can find many plants, natural furniture, upholstered in cotton or linen. The leading colors are brown, white and green.
Scandinavian. It came from northern countries, so you rarely see an abundance of colorful objects. Mainly white and gray shades are used; blue can serve as an accent color. The furniture chosen is wooden, but plastic items will also be appropriate;
Loft. Perhaps one of the most recognizable styles. Its calling card is brick walls or concrete walls and a wooden ceiling. As a rule, the furniture is unusual and old. The most unexpected objects can serve as decor: metal pipes, mirrors without frames, large vases and even stairs.
Minimalism. Ideal if you want to save as much as possible, because this style requires a minimum of things. To create a stylish environment without sacrificing functionality, all furniture is chosen to be as laconic and simple as possible, without decorations or patterns. Cabinets, cabinets and other places for storing things should blend into the general background as much as possible.
Provence. This is a vintage style that creates a French village atmosphere. Suitable for dreamy and romantic people who want to turn their apartment into something like a dollhouse. It is characterized by calm pastel colors, natural materials and an abundance of floral patterns.

TOP 12 trends of 2019-2020

Seasons give way to one another, and with it our mood and tastes change. During these periods, it can be especially acute to worry about how appropriate the usual trinkets look and whether it’s time to change the color of the walls. Being in torment over choosing a new image for my nest, I turned to leading designers, studying their collections and approach. Below you will see insights that will help you stay on trend.

Dark green

The leaves may be falling outside, but inside we'll be in perpetual spring - a trend especially true for kitchen cabinets paired with rich natural wood and leather, accented with brass and cream - a cozy color that's perfect for autumn and winter.

Places for quiet solitude

Do you know the feeling of being overwhelmed by digital devices? Then this trend is for you. People are carving out cozy, more intimate spaces in their homes in droves as tech-free sanctuaries.

The most obvious place for such a disconnect is, of course, the bedroom. Surround your sleeping space with awnings or lace curtains hanging from a decorative wood beam. Pull a comfy chair into the corner to read your favorite books, or hang a hammock inside with a layer of soft blankets.

Velvet

What could be more soothing than velvet? The fabric looks luxurious and welcoming in fall and winter, and paired with rough, natural textures (how about distressed wood and wicker baskets?).

With sleek metals and ceramics, it adds visual interest and tactile comfort to a room. If you're hesitant to splurge on an elegant velvet-upholstered chair, throw in velvet pillows instead for a statement velvet feel.

Wicker texture

Don't underestimate the expressiveness of woven textiles and the accents they bring to a room, especially during the colder months. Hang flat baskets for a focal point on the wall, place plants in wicker stands, or replace your light fixture with a hanging wicker floor lamp.

Again, pair rough textures with soft velvet or hand-knitted wool, and toss these accents over sleek metal tables, mirrors, and ceramic details.

Powdery

Pink is a color in a million. He's back and better than ever. Decor inspired by Provence style and decoupaged roses is at the peak of its popularity. And home accents in different shades of powder will prove to you that this warm and cheerful shade is here to stay.

Designers call it "blush" and use it for antique tableware, velvet pillows, painted plant pots and other small details that set the tone.

Quilts

A return to old and cozy classics may appeal to connoisseurs of comfort and those who do not want to part with their favorite things.

In the new season, duvets will be especially appreciated, as well as all kinds of cozy and soft bedspreads, which will be casually thrown over the bed, as if enticing you to wrap yourself in them. Designers offer a cozy, homey selection of handmade quilts in traditional or contemporary styles.

Forget the country house in white and gray tones! A dramatic touch of color is all the rage this season. Designers have announced all the cozy shades of black as the main color of the year 2019-2020.

For those who aren't ready to go completely over to the dark side, there's another deep color that's also making a comeback—chocolate brown as the best way to add some luxury to your decor. Designers advise replacing light pillows with this rich shade and casually scattering them around the rooms.

Unusual bedding

Try something more exciting this season than white sheets. Today, completely different patterns are relevant that can be combined with each other - experiment with monograms and monograms and don’t be afraid to combine them with other patterns.

This trend is gaining momentum and will soon become widespread. In addition to bedding, the expression of style will be beds with soft upholstery at the headboard, which has an important effect.

Terracotta tiles

Terracotta tiles are making a comeback and if you ask me, I will tell you that they have never gone out of style. Incorporate classic pottery into your decor to add warmth and character to your home.
