Interior of a private house - design features in 2019

Unlike small-sized and standard apartments, where literally every square meter has to be saved, the owners can use any design techniques in their private dwelling that meet their ideas about the beauty, functionality and practicality of the dwelling interior. In the spacious rooms of private apartments, you can realize your design dreams by creating a truly comfortable, cozy and outwardly attractive design for a family nest. But large spaces are a big responsibility. It is important not to miss the chosen concept for creating the design of a private home ownership, not to get drunk from the spaciousness of the premises and the opportunities that a large area promises. We bring to your attention an extensive selection of design projects of private houses with the design of rooms for various functional purposes. And we hope that current ideas on creating a modern, practical and aesthetic interior will help you make the repair of your dreams and enjoy the fruits of your own design ideas.

It doesn’t matter what style you want to design your private home. Literally all the stylistics stand for spacious and bright rooms, with high ceilings, large windows (often of original shape). If physically there is no way to increase the existing space, then it is necessary to expand it, at least visually:

• use a light palette for decorating the ceiling and walls, contrasting dark (bright) for decorating floors;
• apply mirror and glossy surfaces;
• you can use furniture made of transparent acrylic (plastic), it literally dissolves in the image of the room;
• spot lighting systems and linear illumination, evenly distributed over functional segments, helps not only to perfectly illuminate the available space, but also to visually increase it;
• an open layout helps to create multi-functional rooms in which light spreads unhindered, and it is easy for households to move between zones;
• often to fill the maximum amount of light with the available volume of the room, one has to abandon the textile design of the windows (if they do not go outside, then such a measure will not harm household members).

Not new, but still relevant design technique is the use of natural motifs in the design of the home. And it’s not only about using natural materials to create finishes and furnishings, decorative elements and textile design. The use of a natural color palette allows you to create a comfortable, cozy and relaxing atmosphere of the home, in which it is so nice to relax from the gray and noisy city, many advertising billboards and pressure on the psyche of illumination.

 

Another characteristic feature of the compilation of the interior of a modern private dwelling is the combination of functional areas within the same room:

• the living room, kitchen and dining room are located in one room, making up a common base of the most frequently visited places in the house for the whole family. When designing such a space, it is important to use a single concept for all segments in order to create a harmonious picture of a multifunctional space;
• functional segments such as a workplace, a book corner or a home library are often located in the bedroom - it all depends on the parameters of the room and its capabilities;
• often the entrance hall does not stand out in a separate room and is connected to the kitchen-studio or combined living room;
• in the corridors there may be a library zone (book shelves fit easily even within the framework of narrow utility rooms, spreading along the walls from the ceiling to the floor);
• in private houses with two or more floors on the staircases, small functional segments can be equipped - home mini-offices or reading places with bookshelves and comfortable armchairs, floor lamps.

When designing modern private apartments, all shades of white are often used. Not only the possibility of a visual increase in the volume of premises encourages designers and their customers to apply a white tone to finish and furnish, but also creates a light, airy, and bright image of a functional space. At the same time, there are no restrictions on the choice of optional room accessories - kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and even auxiliary spaces (corridors, hallways, verandas) are decorated in white.

The second most popular color in the design of modern homes is still gray and its shades. The neutrality, versatility and simplicity of the combinatorics of this color push many to use shades of gray, both as a basis for interior decoration and for the execution of basic furniture and additional interior items. A simple combination of gray shades with white color and the integration of wooden surfaces (any kind of wood) can create a difficult comfortable environment, but also add notes of nobleness and elegance to the image of space.

If we talk about choosing a color palette for decorating private apartments, it is obvious that in spacious rooms it is much wider. Bright space is able to take quite bright accents. It can be either individual interior items - furniture upholstery or facades of storage systems, or entire surfaces, designed as accents that draw all the attention to themselves.

Another feature of the decoration of premises in private homes is the use of industrial motives. Quite original in a country house, for example, to meet concrete or brick walls as accents in the decoration of a bedroom or living room, kitchen or dining room. It can be either primordial surfaces (real brickwork or concrete wall), or spectacular imitations made using liquid walls, wall tiles or decorative plaster.

No less influence on the formation of the modern style of registration of residential premises had a Scandinavian style. Designers around the world offer their customers the motives of the Nordic countries as the basis for the design of bedrooms and living rooms, kitchens and utilitarian spaces. Simplicity and conciseness, mixed with comfort and coziness, seasoned with simple color combinations and the opportunity to purchase interior items at affordable prices in a network of well-known stores, are pushing many Russians to choose this, of course, practical style for decorating their homes. On a large territory of our country, the climate is similar to the Scandinavian one, we also have little sun and warm days a year, our homes no less need light decoration and the use of natural raw materials for the production of interior items.

Particular attention in the interior of modern private homes is given to the lighting system. Obviously, in spacious and multifunctional rooms, a stepped illumination system is needed. The central lamp or illumination around the perimeter of the room will not be enough. If there are several residential segments in the room, then it is necessary to choose a lighting option for each (depending on the functionality, area size and location relative to window openings) - spotlights or strip lights.

Another characteristic feature of the design of modern homes was the use of multifunctional interior items and transformer furniture.For example, beds and sofas with storage cavities, folding console tables that may not take up space at all when folded, poufs and ottomans, inside which you can store books and magazines, kitchen corners with drawers to accommodate all kinds of utensils, built-in storage systems, which often literally merge with the walls.

The living room in a private house is most often a spacious and bright room, in which not only the whole family gathers in the evenings, but you can also receive guests and have parties. The room should functionally meet all the requirements of the family, the preferences of the household, their ways of organizing leisure. But at the same time, the interior of the living room should effectively play the role of a business card at home, because it is in this room that invited guests spend most of the time. The living room in a private house is comfortable and cozy, but at the same time modern and practical.

It is in the living room that the influence of modern stylistics, advocating for “comfortable minimalism” is palpable like in no other room in a private home. The spaces of private houses allow you to furnish living rooms with special luxury, literally fill almost the entire volume of the room with interior items. But this season, designers recommend it is not easy to restrain themselves in decorating the living room, but clearly define the list of necessary furniture and use functional objects as decorative elements - lamps, textiles, and in rare cases wall decor. As a result, the living room spaces will be filled with light and air, interior items will not clutter it, creating a difficult organic atmosphere, but a favorable emotional background for relaxation and rest with the family.

The opposite strategy of decorating a living room in a private house is represented by the traditions of classical stylistics. If in its “pure” form the classic interior is not often seen in modern design projects, then neo-classic is ubiquitous. Adapted to the needs of a modern homeowner, traditional motifs gain a second life thanks to progressive discoveries in the field of finishing materials, the production of furniture and decorative elements, textiles and lighting fixtures. The so-called “affordable classic” becomes the best option for decorating rooms in private apartments, the owners of which want to see elegance, an easy hint of luxury and at the same time the functionality of the interior.

It is difficult to imagine a living room in a private house without a fireplace. In your own home there is always the possibility of installing not just an electrical analogue of the hearth, but a working fireplace with a chimney. Nothing is able to create a truly comfortable and cozy environment for relaxing with your family, like a fire dance in a beautiful fireplace. The hearth in the modern living room, following many years of tradition, becomes the focal point around which the entire decor of the room is built. Often it is the hearth that becomes the starting point when creating a symmetrical, balanced image of the living room.

The bedroom of a private home ownership is a private room, designed exclusively based on the personal preferences of the owners. It is not for nothing that modern stylistics promotes reasonable minimalism combined with maximum personal comfort. If it’s more convenient for you to have only the necessary interior items in your bedroom space - a bed, a wardrobe and a bedside table or nightstand, then you need to organize the room’s atmosphere. If the bedroom does not seem complete without a dressing table, workplace or a cozy reading corner, and the space allows you to organize additional functional segments, then these zones can be successfully integrated into your existing interior.

Perhaps the bedroom is the most popular room for using a beige palette.The warmth and tranquility, the pacification and comfort that give beige shades is the best suited for the room in which it is customary to relax after a hard day and gain strength before new achievements. The beige finish palette can be effectively diluted with snow-white furniture. Or create a certain accent using a dark color scheme for the bed, and storage systems.

For many of our compatriots of names, the kitchen is the heart of the house, its functional and emotional focus, the center of attraction of attention. Not only because the hostess spends a lot of time cooking delicious dishes, and in the evenings the whole family gathers for meals, but also because the closest guests are often taken in the kitchen room. As a rule, the kitchen space of a private house boasts ample space for the location of all necessary storage systems, household appliances, work surfaces and a dining area. In a spacious kitchen, you can not save every centimeter, use household appliances of standard sizes and clearly comply with ergonomic requirements for a comfortable and safe conduct of all working kitchen processes.

The advantage of spacious kitchens is that you can use popular color schemes. For example, contrasting combinations in the execution of the facades of kitchen cabinets. No one will argue with the fact that the color palette of the kitchen interior largely depends on the choice of shades for the execution of the furniture set, because it occupies most of the useful space. Dark facades against a light background of the kitchen space finish look very impressive, adding respectability and chic to the interior. And the use of a dark tone for the execution of the lower tier of cabinets in combination with a light shade for hinged storage systems allows you to visually increase the height of the room.

Distinctive features of the bathroom, located in private apartments, are a fairly large area (compared to the rooms of standard and small-sized apartments), the possible presence of a window and a non-standard arrangement of communication systems. In a private house, you can transfer the pipeline at your own discretion, organize a forced exhaust system, in a word, simplify the functionality of the bathroom without coordinating your actions with various authorities. All these advantages make it possible to create a practical, comfortable, functional and at the same time beautiful bathroom interior with the least cost and time.

In the bathroom of a private house, you can not be limited to a standard set of plumbing. In addition to the bath, you can install a shower cabin, because in most families there is always a separation between those who prefer to bask in the hot foam and those who prefer a contrast shower, hydromassage. In a utility room, where there is no need to save every centimeter, you can install a double sink and significantly reduce the time for a morning toilet, not only for large families, but also for couples. In addition to the toilet, you can install a bidet and use not compact models, but original design options for plumbing devices.

If the entrance hall in a standard apartment is most often a narrow and dark room with several doorways (to other rooms of the dwelling) or a passage to the corridor. To disperse in such a space in terms of the implementation of their design ideas is simply nowhere. Whether it is a matter of quite spacious utilitarian spaces of private houses - no one will begin to specifically plan the construction of a dwelling with a small entrance hall or a very narrow corridor. In such rooms, you can not be limited only to light colors (especially if there is a window in the hallway or corridor), and the choice of furniture, storage systems is much larger.
