Beautiful room: options for decorating a cozy and comfortable interior

There are many ways to decorate a room and impress your friends. If you don't know what to change in a boring interior, try to orient yourself on the available resources and free time. Sometimes it is enough just to rearrange the furniture in the room so that it sparkles with a new and bright palette.

The beauty of a room is closely related to convenience and comfort.

Simple ideas at no extra cost

Let's start with the concept of comfort. Usually they often talk about it, but not everyone understands what it is. Your home should not only be beautifully furnished, but above all, it should be comfortable. There is no need to repeat exactly the perfect pictures from the Internet or magazines to arrange your apartment. Sometimes just add a few things or replace only part of the interior:

• Place or hang soft rugs. A soft rug can be a nice and comfortable addition to your flooring, but rugs can also be hung on walls. Choose a rug with an unusual pattern that will grab attention.
  

  A bright rug of an original shape will become a highlight of the interior in any room

• Add pillows to your bed or sofa. Buy pillows with interesting quotes, designs, patterns, or textures to decorate your room. Check out thrift stores and online furniture stores. In t-shirt shops, you can even place the design on a fabric cover over your pillow.
  

  Decorative pillows are matched to other textile elements or in contrast to the upholstery of upholstered furniture

• Add cabinet lighting. If you find it difficult to see things in the wardrobe or just want to decorate the room, use white hanging garlands on the inside of the doorway. It may feel like you are opening a door to an unknown universe or to a rock band's fashionable wardrobe. Use tape or hooks to secure the garlands.

Decorating a beautiful interior in a small room

When designing the interior of a small room, many mainly adhere to two tasks: rationally use every meter or even centimeter of the available area and make every millimeter harmonious and beautiful. To accomplish these steps, there are many ready-made ideas that have been tested in thousands of rooms.

Minimalism will be the best choice for interior decoration of a small room.

Small rooms cannot be cluttered with objects: they should not contain many accessories. The more free space is left, the more spacious the room looks. Therefore, not all styles are suitable. The following will look good:

• Scandinavian;
• high tech;
• modern;
• minimalism;
• Japanese or Chinese.

Choosing a style direction in the room

Among the many style solutions, modern, Scandinavian and modern stand out in the best way.

Modern

Like most modern trends, a high-quality style of interior design requires a minimum of furniture and accessories. The main challenge is to create an interior that feels light, bright and discreet. Hence the choice of accessories: they are functional, the lines are laconic. This style is for those who are tired of many complex shapes.

The interior in a modern style will be a suitable solution for business and dynamic people.

The characteristic colors are neutral shades. Possible shades of gray, beige, white and light brown. All wall and floor decorations are just a backdrop for furniture and accessories. Hence the finishing methods. Walls can be plastered or pasted over, but their surface is smooth, without a clear texture. When decorating rooms in a modern style, the walls should not have clear textures or even subtle patterns. Maybe silk, velor, just a matte color. Perfectly flat surface without flaws.

The minimalist design principle of the interior creates an atmosphere of perfect order

Laminate and usually light colors are usually placed on the floor. Parquet is laid, but the boards are laid without a pattern. It is acceptable to use a short pile carpet. Another option for floors is self-leveling floors and, again, uniform matte dark colors.

The decor of the room should be restrained, an excessive amount of small details is unacceptable

If you leave the interior in this way, it will be very calm, but expressionless. Liven up your decor with accessories. You don't need a lot of them, choose carefully. In general, the design of the room should be functional: shelves, furniture with useful functionality. The colors are rich, the shapes are simple, without floral patterns or motifs. Live plants would fit nicely into this scenario. The greens will stand out brightly, giving the desired color tone.

Scandinavian

If you like simple interiors, but modern trends are very cold, Scandinavian style is your choice. With a common similarity between Scandinavian and modern styles, this is a more “homey” and welcoming style. A wider range of colors are used - all natural shades, not "sour" or exaggerated. The walls are white or milky white, cream tones can be used. The rest of the colors in the "natural" palette are brown, ocher, green and blue, the colors of the sky or the waves of the sea.

Scandinavian style is characterized by calmness, simplicity and conciseness

The harsh climate taught us to love the feeling of warmth that a tree gives. Wood on the floor, furniture made of it, the walls are sheathed with wood. The most common species are pine and birch. Their wood has a light color, a well-defined texture that attracts attention against a light background.

The Scandinavian interior is equally well suited for decorating both small rooms and spacious rooms.

There is usually a board or laminate on the floor. There is no excessive ceremonial appearance, in general, the design in the Scandinavian style is simplicity and conciseness. Ceilings are ordinary, plastered, white or wood, natural or bleached. Stretched layered styles and complex lighting are not typical of Scandinavians. They are generally far from this. Simple, comfortable and high-quality decor - yes, but complex design - no. All this is reflected in this interior style.

Modern

It was with the emergence of this stylistic trend in residential premises that the concept of visualization appeared the environment, the principle of which was the transfer of natural contours and natural forms into artificial atmosphere.

Art Nouveau is characterized by flowing lines and whimsical ornaments.

Modern will be a great option for decorating a room for people who:

• not particularly impressed by simple pieces of furniture, consider them boring;
• I prefer vintage, collect antiques and store it;
• are interested in gangster stories and adventures;
• love bright and stylish little things, avoiding minimalism and kitsch.

Like other styles, such as flamboyant Art Deco or more traditional Classicism, Art Nouveau allows for filling inside with accessories and furniture. In this style, asymmetrical compositions are quite common, although they are not required.

In Art Nouveau, the first place is given to natural motives that set the general atmosphere in the room.

You should also choose the accent elements very carefully, following the principle: if the background in the room bright, then the furniture should have light, delicate colors, if the furniture is bright, then it is better to choose more calm background.

Exquisite furniture is made to order and is often a true work of art.

Modern, like all other areas, has a number of distinctive features:

• bright prints in the form of large flowers or stripes;
• a combination of various patterns and textured surfaces;
• preferable use of cream, chocolate or green colors;
• rich decoration with decorative elements is presented in the form of complex weaving of plant origin.

Room color options

It has long been known that white paints visually enlarge rooms. One thing should be clear - it is not necessary to use exclusively white color, although white is used very often. The light color makes the interior weightless and mesmerizing, especially when combined with light floors and ceilings.

To smooth out the hospital effect, bright colors or wooden textures are added to the interior.

If you decide to paint the walls, there are a few rules to keep in mind. As for the color design, its essence is that three colors must be present to create a harmonious interior. The first is the main one; it can be different. Two more can be in very small quantities. If we talk about design in small rooms, then the walls are painted in the main color, should be clear. Furniture - either a primary color (perhaps a very similar shade), or one of the complementary ones. Fittings and accessories - additional colors.

A bright interior of a room can be obtained using a contrasting combination of red, gray and white colors.

But how do you put together a trio of flowers? There are tables of compatible colors that designers use, but you can focus on your taste or look at the photo. The most attractive combination can be used in your room.

Examples of finishing a room for a beautiful interior

Ceiling decoration

The traditional and, perhaps, one of the most common in the recent past, the method of decorating the ceiling is whitewashing, which has recently been increasingly giving way to painting. Both options are ideal for rooms with low ceilings. The use of light shades allows you to visually increase the height of the walls and refresh the entire room.

The white ceiling will fill the room with light and visually expand its space.

Most often, the ceiling is white. Not necessarily pure white, many shades can be used. What you shouldn't do is paint the ceiling dark. This can only be used in a very high room with excellent lighting and the ceiling should be glossy.

A dark ceiling is appropriate only where it is required by the style of the interior

Wall decoration

How to make a cozy room beautiful? Decorate the body. Even minimalist Scandinavian apartments have room for posters and paintings. They enliven the space, adding personality to the owner. If you are not a fan of drawings and graphics, fill in the empty space with other objects. These can be: decorative plates, souvenirs, dream catchers, wicker rugs, photographs, mirrors, maps and much more.

Highlighting an accent wall with a different color is the easiest way to decorate a room.

Finishing criteria:

1. Environmental friendliness. If the material is toxic, it is hazardous to the health of residents.
2. There is no allergy to the substances from which the finishing materials are made.
3. Cost is a subjective factor, depending on the capabilities of each person.
4. Application technology - sometimes the installation method is laborious and costs more money than the material itself.
5. Finishing characteristics (heat resistance and moisture resistance, ease of maintenance, aesthetics) - in depending on the environment in which the repair is made, all characteristics must be taken into account cover.
6. In accordance with the interior - the color of the texture is selected for the intended design, furniture is purchased, if any, and accessories.

Floor finishing

The choice of color, light or dark, depends a lot on the style, but there are cases in which both options are acceptable. What then to choose? Focus on your own desires. If you want a sense of stability in a room, a dark floor is more suitable. If lightness is required, your choice is a light floor.

Floor covering can become an expressive element of room design

Wooden texture is a universal solution for any style direction

With the help of floor design, you can also achieve a visual increase in the room, for this flooring from boards, laminate or parquet is suitable. Traditionally, they are laid out parallel to the rays of light. To achieve the desired effect, you must lay the covering at an angle to the front door. This visually enlarges the space. Yes, this installation method is more difficult and will incur more waste, not all trimmings can be attached, but the effect is good.

Selection of furniture for the interior of the room

Small spaces require functional and comfortable furniture, and laconic forms with clear lines look better. Styles also require this choice - they all need strict, simple lines. When planning, create an environment in which horizontal surfaces are at different levels. This makes the interior more dynamic. If you put everything on the same level, it will be too monotonous and flat.

The choice of furniture primarily depends on the style of interior decoration.

The dimensions of the furniture should be related to the dimensions of the room.

Another recommendation is not to load too much space. In small rooms, you need to put what you need. At the same time, it is advisable to avoid a large number of massive objects. If that suits your idea, place the furniture on metal legs. They seem to raise the object off the floor, creating interesting effects.
