In the European classic use of limited set of light colors is not a flaw, and dignity. A huge number of shades of varying degrees of saturation, creating a rich palette of colors of the interior. Preference is given to pastel, razbelennye options, color emphasis is muted. Instead of the pure, screaming colors used more restrained gamut.

Furniture European-style: the main criterion - convenience

When creating European interior is necessary to combine different pieces of furniture, as the use of full sets are not welcome. But the careful selection of furniture is able to create the effect of a lived-in, cozy space.

A distinctive feature of the furniture filling the house becomes a convenience. This is an important criteria that should be in the selection.

Fireplace lighting in the evening, when all other lights extinguished, gives fluctuating glow of reddish hues, the interior adds mystery. At this point, it becomes particularly interesting reflection of the flames from the metal room accessories. Extremely impressive is the location of the fire in the bedroom, due to the heat and soft light private space becomes even more private.
