C style Provence in the interior of the house
Provence– translated from French means province.
There is no sunnier and richer place in all of France than Provence. This region has the best of everything: sparkling coastlines, enchanting nature and gastronomic lifestyle. It is on these components that the provencal style interior Its colors, as if faded by the sun, interspersed with bright shades create comfort and lift your spirits.
Provence style is the charm of bright, good old times and simple luxury. This style combines the centuries-old traditions of French country houses and the eternal beauty of Provençal nature. Inspiration, tranquility and comfort, light and lightness await you in the interior, which is literally permeated with the languid leisurelyness of the gentle sun, the freshness of the Cote d'Azur, the aroma of Provencal herbs and endless lavender fields.
Distinctive features of the interior in the Provence style can be considered:
Pastel colors
Very light, weightless curtains
Elegant, light, often white furniture
Light floors
Insanely many fresh flowers
Floral patterns
Ruffles, cutwork, sewing
Lots of trinkets made of porcelain, ceramics, fabric.
Geographically, this design style emerged in the south of France at the end of the 18th century and expressed the desire of wealthy bourgeois to join the life of the aristocracy. Provence is characterized by a slight “shabbyness”, when the furnishings seemed to have been burnt out in the hot southern sun and were exposed to the sea wind for some time.
C COUNTRY STYLE IN THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE
The word “country” can be translated as “village” and “country”. Rustic style, or as it is also called, country style, has many faces. Each country has its own view of home, decorated in a simple, rustic taste.
Country is, first of all, natural. This style of interior design is intended for lovers of a measured way of country life. Loyalty to family traditions, continuity of generations, the desire for a harmonious rapprochement with nature, originality - these are the main principles around which design canons are built.
Country style is very popular and resembles country life, comfort and closeness to nature. To create a country style interior, wooden, wicker or wrought iron furniture is mainly used. Interior design may include structures made of metal, glass or concrete. Today, most people prefer this style and create the image of villagers.
You can choose any materials, as long as they meet the requirements of natural origin and high environmental friendliness - wood, brick, stone, copper, aluminum, paper, cotton, chintz, straw or reed will come in handy. In this style, texture is given special importance. Wallpaper, imitation, fabric, stylized brickwork, wooden beams, columns or panels will bring the interior closer to the desired image. And, on the contrary, the coldness of chrome, glass, the soullessness of plastic and synthetics are absolutely unacceptable in a rural environment.
The floor can be covered with natural planks, laminate or tiles such as slate, terracotta or sandstone.
The favorite style is wood, it is used everywhere. Moreover, the less processing the surface has undergone, the more stylish it looks. Doors and windows are no exception. The first ones are solid with geometric embossing and simple fittings made of dark metal. The second ones are strict, simple in shape, with a large number of divisions.
A slave (MOROCCAN) style IN THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE
Oriental style in the interior is the most interesting and diverse style among the others. Since it has absorbed the diversity of elements of Arab, Asian and Indian culture. Each component of the style of the oriental genre has its own characteristics and differences.
The Arabic style, in turn, includes the specifics of South-West Asia: the Arabian Peninsula (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Qatar, United United Arab Emirates etc.) and North Africa (Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Iran, etc.). Turkey can also be added to these cities, since the main part of the state is located in Southwestern Asia, and the rest in Southern Europe.
This style represents peace of mind, harmony and tranquility along with beauty, brightness and wealth. An interior in this genre can be made both in the spirit of minimalism (Asian motifs - simplicity and practicality), and with the use of many additions and accessories (Arabic motifs - luxury and sophistication). The first, it turns out, acts as a counterbalance to the second style. Therefore, every decorative detail and every item requires stylistic selection and careful elaboration. To understand the big picture and recognize the right direction for all oriental interiors, there are some common features.
The Moroccan interior contains colors characteristic of the African style, that is, the colors of the nature of the black continent: desert, scorching sun, shady jungle, fires in the African night. These are sand, orange, terracotta, red (various warm shades of red), brown, swamp green, etc.
However, in addition to this, Moroccan interiors use colors characteristic of the Arabic style: pink-orange, gold, scarlet, fuchsia, royal blue, dark purple, burgundy, etc.
Most often, stone floors are found in Moroccan interiors, due to climatic conditions. The stone is cold, but on hot days and sultry nights the coolness of the floor increases the level of comfort.
If the coldness of a stone floor scares you, you can choose a tile or wood laminate. In Moroccan interiors, wooden floors are also not uncommon: mostly rough boards and stacked parquet (wooden modules of different colors are laid out in a certain way to create a beautiful ornament). But if we are talking about styling, laminate is quite suitable.
However, the optimal solution for the floor in a Moroccan interior is still warm-colored porcelain tiles (brown, terracotta, beige).
In living rooms and hallways, the walls are most often plastered. In Morocco, decorative textured plaster is used to decorate walls, after application of which the walls become like marble. Plaster can be ordinary. Then the plastered walls are painted with colored or snow-white paint.
In wet rooms and front halls, the walls are decorated with bright mosaics that form a Moroccan pattern.
The ceilings in Moroccan houses are very high. They are painted in one of the commonly used colors. Traditionally, in common rooms the ceiling is blue or blue - it symbolizes the sky. A border is made between the wall and the ceiling - it can be a mosaic, painting or lace stucco.
In expensive Moroccan interiors, the ceilings can be wooden - carved or painted with Moroccan ornaments. The work is difficult and very expensive, but the result is amazing.
Minimalism IN THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE
The concept of minimalism arose from the Latin word minimus, which translates as smallest. That is, in the interior of the room they use smallest combination colors, textures, shapes and objects.
Minimalism is a style for those who look to the future. The validity of this statement is confirmed by many designers. They believe that modern man will most quickly rest and restore strength after a busy day in a spacious room, free from unnecessary details, details and things. However, implementing the minimalist style in the interior is not as easy as it seems at first glance. When creating an interior, it is important to very subtly feel the difference between ascetic and functional life. After all, a minimalist interior is not necessarily an empty open room with a couch as all the necessary pieces of furniture. No. Minimalism allows you to create a convenient, comfortable and functional interior that uses a small number of quality items.
The minimalist style won the hearts of innovators in design and architecture in the late 1980s. Inspired by traditional Japanese design and the concept of Zen Buddhism, London and New York architects created sophisticated interiors with an emphasis on clean lines, natural light and minimal furniture and decor.
The founder of minimalism, architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, proclaimed the basic principle of this trend - “Less is More”. Minimalism is the pursuit of perfection through restraint and asceticism, embodied in the simple geometry of forms.
A modern minimalist interior is a balanced living space that includes only minimum required items. A minimalist interior comes to life thanks to the play of light, graphic shapes and dynamic color combinations. In this case, functionality and proper zoning come first.
C TIL Hi-tech IN THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE
The main features of the style are a lot of light, space and technical innovations.
High-tech came into fashion in the 70s of the last century on the wave of postmodernism. In a short decade, it spread across Europe and began to penetrate into Russia. This style has something of pop art and science fiction illustrations. Like any modernist movement, high-tech style is a challenge to everything traditional and outdated.
The style has several main distinctive features:
The lines are simple, strict, tough. This applies to walls, furniture and, to a lesser extent, accessories.
Shelves and cabinets are hidden. Storage spaces are mounted in such a way that one cannot think that there is a shelf hidden behind this flat surface.
Industrial materials. Metal, glass, concrete, brick, plastic predominate in the interior of a high-tech house. Leave the natural structure or polish to a shine. Wood has a right to exist, but it must be unprocessed.
High-tech technologies take care of the comfort, health and safety of those living in modern house. An armored door with a fingerprint scanner will make it impossible to enter from the threshold unauthorized persons into your property and you won't need keys. The fingerprint scanner, which reliably identifies up to 99 different fingerprints, can be replaced with contactless cards or a chip. A reliable video camera built into the door will tell you who is behind the door. The image from the camera can be sent to your TV screen via the Internet, to your computer or mobile phone. And inside the house we will find space and minimalism.
The high-tech style in the interior is characterized by convenient equipment. The built-in audio-video system makes being in the kitchen more enjoyable, even all day. You can drink your morning coffee while listening to tunes from your MP3 player, or surf the Internet, watch the news or watch a movie on the LCD screen while preparing lunch.
And the English bourgeois style IN THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE
The American bourgeois style was formed under the influence of several styles of the twentieth century: Austrian Biedermeier (the so-called “comfortable” Empire style), Art Deco (geometric shapes, rich ornaments, exotic wood, glass, onyx, marble) and eclecticism of the post-war period. Speaking about the American bourgeois style in the interior, it is worth paying attention to the fact that it became widespread among successful capitalists and wealthy entrepreneurs, where housing was the same indicator of status, prosperity and prestige as luxury yachts and limousines. This was the era of the rise of the American economy, Prohibition, and the emergence of numerous nouveau riche. The area of housing is directly proportional to the impressive sums that the American bourgeoisie spent on furnishing their homes.
An important stage will be finishing the floor of the room; parquet is mainly used with geometric motifs - these can be straight lines, zigzags and triangles. Interior decoration is impossible without accessories. In the American bourgeois style, a separate part is given to this. This direction of interior design involves a certain democratization of space: lamps, candlesticks, large flower vases and medium-sized figurines are located on the floor. Product materials: crystal, onyx, glass, jasper, marble, brass. When choosing lighting, you should pay attention to chandeliers and floor lamps of geometric shapes (circle, semicircle, ball, cube, square, octagon) made of Murano glass. A striking solution in decorating will be a cascading crystal chandelier.
The main sign is temporary layers. It seems as if this interior was created step by step, each generation brought something of its own to it: from the grandmother - a solid library and a retro camera, from the mother there was a classic sofa and a chair by a famous designer, and the daughter painted the wall in a shade of turquoise and hung a fashionable one. lamp…
In fact, this is, of course, an appearance: bohemian interiors are a favorite theme for professional interior decorators. Creating an interior with history - even in a new building - is considered the highest degree of skill.
Traditional English style is an eclecticism of “flavors” from different eras, which today we perceive as classics.
The main principle of the English interior: rich and restrained. If we take moderate luxury on the verge of sophistication, a sense of taste and proportion, we get pure English style. Since England is an isolated island, this fact could not but leave its mark on the style of home decoration. Conservatism and a measured way of life are visible all around. From generation to generation, traditions remain constant, with only minor changes added to the layout of the house. The English style can be characterized by concepts such as respectability and luxury; in one word, it is a classic interior style with the addition of luxury. This style is reminiscent of the castles of English aristocrats - noble, majestic. As a memory of the colonial past, in some places there are shades of Indian and Chinese style.
The English style is characterized by the influence of two eras: Georgian (1714-1837) and Victorian styles (1837-1901). This period was marked by a rapid increase in the ability to use a variety of styles from around the world and different eras.
During the reign of King George I, the English style began to be influenced Ancient Greece and Rome. The style of that era can be described as majestic, restrained, proportional and symmetrical. The choice of color often depended on the direction of the world where the room’s windows faced. If to the north, warm shades predominated, for example, golden pink, lemon yellow. If to the south - cold: azure, rich green. The interiors of that time could contain elements borrowed from the cultures of India, Japan, China, Mauritania, Ancient Egypt, as well as the styles of Rococo, Louis XIV, James I, etc.
The Victorian style was formed in England during the reign of Queen Victoria, namely in the second half of the 19th century. At this time, thanks to the rapid development of industry and colonies around the world, the bourgeoisie began to get rich and take shape as a class. It should be noted that many interior items, previously not available to everyone and considered luxury, have gained mass popularity. Thanks to mass industrial production, many items that were previously considered unaffordable luxuries have become publicly available. Decorating, arranging and furnishing houses acquired a demonstrative character of status and wealth.
In the 19th century, the famous designer William Morris became famous for creating on the basis of a medieval English interior what is today called English style all over the world.
And American (national eclecticism) IN THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE
Eclectic style is a combination of elements inherent in different eras and trends to create a cohesive, harmonious interior.
The eclectic style originated at the end of the 19th century in Europe (France, England, Germany), when architects, in search of new ideas, began to mix elements inherent in various classical styles. Bold combinations of styles became a source of endless inspiration for designers and artists of those years.
Very quickly eclecticism became widespread in North America, where it became recognized not only by people of art, but also by the general public and, in addition to architecture, manifested itself in interior design.
By the 1930s, eclecticism was replaced by art deco and modernism, and it managed to win the hearts of designers again only in the new millennium: in the 2000s, eclecticism burst into the world of design, absorbing all the current styles of the 20th century during its long absence.
Eclecticism often manifests itself in a mixture of similar and non-contradictory styles, such as classicism and empire, baroque and modern. But it is nevertheless interesting to us for its excellent ability to combine old and new, western and eastern, in the interior. The consequence of these experiments is, for example, the combination of ethnic style with art deco and hi-tech.
Main features:
Different stylistic elements should be united by texture, color and overall design solution.
Comfort and functionality, expressed by a combination of modern items with elements of past eras.
Using patterns such as stripes, zigzags, circles on furniture.
Patterned wallpaper, carved tiles on the walls, parquet, draperies on the windows and doorways.
Vertical lines, niches, rounded corners.
Oriental bedspreads and carpets, decorative pillows rich range of colors.
Decorative details that unite different objects in the interior.
Chalet (country style) in the interior
One of the old ones French styles the interior is a chalet. Translated from French, “chalet” means a hotel or house in a rural style. Initially, this word denoted small rural houses in the Alps, which served as shelter for travelers and shepherds in bad weather; later it began to be used to describe a whole direction in interior design, made in rustic style
Chalet style is
simplicity;
practicality;
naturalness;
warmth and comfort.
The difference between a chalet and other similar styles, for example, country, is its great brevity and practicality.
Raw materials are often used in the interior:
unpainted wooden floors,
walls plastered or lined with wood, but without final finishing,
protruding ceiling beams,
large fireplace, roughly lined with natural stone.
All objects in the interior seem durable, stable, massive, and reliable. It is these principles of the chalet style that have made it so popular when decorating country houses.
Principles - the desire to be closer to nature, to be able to immerse yourself in beauty environment after a noisy and polluted city. It should also be noted that the popularity of ski resorts in our country is now at its peak. News healthy image life is not only useful, but also fashionable; skiing and snowboarding is the latest trend among sports trends. Well, wealthy people can afford construction country house, appearance and the arrangement of which will remind of ski resort all year round.
The Chalet style came to us from southeastern France, a province located on the border with Switzerland. It was the peculiarities of the mountain climate, the severity and even some severity of natural phenomena and the rural lifestyle that were reflected in the style in which wealthy homeowners now prefer to build houses for countryside holiday. If we talk about the literal translation of the word “chalet,” then this is a shepherd’s house located near the mountains. It is obvious that the structure, the location of which was so difficult, had to meet all the requirements of strength and durability. Typically, small houses for rural residents of European provinces were built of stone and wood - the foundation and part of the first floor were made of stone, and the attic was made of wooden beams or logs. Such structures have justified themselves over time - the stone base was a reliable protection against unpleasant weather conditions in the form of gusty winds, heavy rain or snowfall.
The origin of the Alpine style secured its association with rural simplicity, comfort and warm atmosphere dwellings. And the main feature of decorating a space in a chalet style is the use natural materials. Such intensive use of wood and natural stone you will not find, perhaps, in any other stylistic movement.
Imagining a living room in a house located in a ski resort on the Alpine slopes, we involuntarily lean towards the style hunting lodge, but in a larger space with abundant use of wood and stone decoration, stuffed animals on the walls and fur skins on the floors instead of carpets. And in this presentation we are not far from the embodiment of Alpine style in living room interiors.
AND imperial style (EMPIRE) IN THE INTERIOR
The Empire style originated in France during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte and was the pinnacle of classicism. Translated from French, “empire” means “empire,” and this name perfectly characterizes this direction. Imperial luxury, pomp and solemnity are the distinctive features of this style in the interior.
Empire style (French style Empire - “imperial style”) is the style of late (high) classicism in architecture and applied arts. Originated in France during the reign of Emperor Napoleon I; developed during the first three decades of the 19th century; was replaced by eclectic movements.
In the Russian Empire, this style appeared under Alexander I. Inviting foreign architects to Russia was a frequent occurrence, since it was fashionable among titled persons, and at the beginning of the 19th century there was a passion for French culture in Russia. For the construction of St. Isaac's Cathedral, Alexander I invited the aspiring French architect Henri Louis Auguste Ricard de Montferrand, who later became one of the founders of the “Russian Empire style”.
The Russian Empire style was divided into Moscow and St. Petersburg, and such a division was determined not so much by territorial characteristics as by the degree of separation from classicism - the Moscow one was closer to it. Most well-known representative The architect Karl Rossi became the St. Petersburg style of the Empire style; among other representatives of this style, it is customary to name the architects Andrean Zakharov, Andrei Voronikhin, Osip Bove, Domenico Gilardi, Vasily Stasov, and the sculptors Ivan Martos, Feodosius Shchedrin. In Russia, the Empire style dominated architecture until 1830-1840.
The revival of the Empire style in degenerate forms occurred in Russia during the Soviet era, from the mid-1930s to the mid-1950s. This style of the Empire style is also known as the “Stalin Empire style”.
The Empire style was based on the architectural and stylistic traditions of the most ancient states: the Egyptian, Ancient Greek and Roman Empires. Columns, frescoes, arches, bas-reliefs, rich stucco, ceiling borders, pilasters - all these are borrowed antique elements that have become integral decorations of Empire style interiors. Military symbols on the walls: shields, swords, swords and armor symbolize greatness and valor, and family coats of arms symbolize the continuity of family traditions.
The characteristic features of the Empire style are:
Compliance with the rules of symmetry.
Artistic sophistication.
Solemn parade.
Monumentality.
Abundance of decorative elements.
Empire style is appropriate in the interior of spacious rooms with large windows and high ceilings. It is unlikely that this style will be suitable for decorating cramped apartments that are unable to convey all its pathos, grandeur and monumentality that were originally intended.

Looking for ideas on how to change the interior of a private home? For your inspiration, we have collected here 40 photos of rooms before and after renovation. From small decorative changes to complete space redesigns, here you will find examples of effective design solutions for different tastes and budgets.
The most common problem of small private houses is the lack of free air in the space. The reason for this may be small windows, too bright suffocating color scheme, massive furniture, curtains, etc. By eradicating this reason, you can make any interior of a private home look freer and more elegant.
- Replace massive floor furniture with lighter models with thin legs;
- Place a large mirror;
- Clear the windows;
- Remove closed cabinets and put open shelves or shelves in their place;
- Replace large patterns on carpets, curtains and wallpaper with smaller patterns;
- Choose cool color scheme(not lighter, but fresher);
- Get rid of massive lamps.
Looking at the following photos of the interiors: which of the above methods were used to redesign these rooms?
How to make the interior of a private house more comfortable
Often the problem is completely opposite to the previous one. The lack of comfort and warmth in a room can be no less depressing than their excess. To make the interior of your private home more cozy and welcoming, try applying some of the above tips in reverse, i.e.:
- Use large patterns instead of small ones;
- Choose a warmer color scheme;
- Use a few antique or faux-worn items;
- Hang a chic oversized chandelier on the ceiling;
- Decorate the windows with heavy curtains.
At the same time, you don’t have to install massive furniture at all, because the interior can become cozy without unnecessarily cluttering the space. This can be facilitated by the same open shelves with many bright trinkets, thin , carpets on the floor, paintings or photographs in frames, etc.
But if you don’t want to take on the responsibility of caring for a large number of interior details, then go the other way. Select dark color for one or several walls, warm and bright shades for massive upholstered furniture, and add to all this several sculptural decorative items, such as floor lamps, floor statues, tall houseplants, large paintings, etc.
We save the interior design of a private home from chaos
Does your interior look too jumbled and unfocused? This may be due not only to clutter, but also to an overabundance of different shades, patterns and decorative items. To make the interiors of a private home look more calm and elegant, designers can use the following methods:
- Create a central point around which all other decorative items will be focused (fireplace, painting, Wall Clock, coffee table);
- Divide the interior using different carpets or other floor coverings, and organize separate ordered zones on each of them;
- Use oversized multifunctional furniture with additional storage compartments, as well as glass and acrylic furniture;
- Add an object to the room that will unite everything else (for example, if the room has a lot of decor in blue, pink and green tones, then you can buy a rug or large wall art that will combine these 3 shades);
- Add shiny mirror or metal surfaces. They will easily smooth out any excess in your interior, be it an excess of shades or an abundance of any material, for example, wood;
- Place items symmetrically or balanced ( );
- Add a vertical accent that will visually increase the size of the room. To do this, it may be enough to replace or rehang the curtains so that they appear longer, install high shelves on the sides of the fireplace, buy high shelves, hang wall decor under each other, etc.
