The modern style of the interior of the cottage premises may gravitate to the elements of a particular style, implemented with the help of advanced finishing materials and with the use of high-tech household appliances. Let's look at specific examples of design projects of rooms decorated in various stylistic directions, how to organize the situation in common areas for the whole family, such as a living room, dining room and kitchen.
Classic in a new way
No matter how many years the history of creating interiors totals, and lovers of classics will always be found. Luxurious canonical forms, expensive furniture and accessories made from natural materials using the most advanced technologies allow us not to break away from progress, but at the same time respect traditions. The classic interior is always attractive in appearance, but functional in content. Practical elegance is to the liking of many of our compatriots, happy owners of country houses and cottages.
The classic interior of our time and that room twenty years ago are very different rooms in appearance. Of course, modern technologies for the production of finishing materials, furniture and accessories leave an imprint on the resulting image of space with classic elements. If earlier in the classical drawing room a fireplace was often present and it was almost always active, now more and more often there are options for a family hearth that performs an exclusively decorative role. And yet, the classic interior is always a luxury, wealth and grace, enclosed in an elegant shell.
Modern classics can also be manifested in very modest interiors - light finishes, simple stucco moldings on the ceiling, comfortable upholstered furniture and, of course, a beautiful chandelier.
But if the classics intersect with the Baroque and Rococo styles, the interior always turns out to be not just rich, but royal luxurious. High ceilings, decorated with abundant stucco molding, huge doors, arched openings, carved furniture from expensive wood, velor upholstery of upholstered furniture - all together look not only elegant, but also harmonious. To create an interior in which there will be no sense of presence in the museum, but a comfortable atmosphere for living will be created - a difficult task that only professionals can do.
As for classical cuisine, the location of storage systems and the presence of a kitchen island remained canonical in it. And if the facades of kitchen cabinets are simplified, then an invariable glass or crystal chandelier with an abundance of decorative elements will never leave the classic kitchen.
What could be more classical than the combination of wooden cabinets painted in light colors, stone countertops and aprons, lined with ceramic tiles with a picture, of course, with light finishes and wooden floors in one kitchen space? Only pendant lights stylized as street lamps add an element of surprise to the traditional interior.
The pursuit of minimalism through contemporary style and contemporary
It is no secret to anyone that modern styling strives for practicality and functionality, and no other interior style meets such requirements more than minimalism. Previously, minimalism-style design projects often scared our compatriots out of the impossibility of living in such an environment and the lack of a sufficiently large living space, but nowadays, owners of cottages and country houses of impressive sizes often order interiors with the so-called “cozy minimalism” or in style Contemporary. This is the same spaciousness and scope, a minimum of furniture, but at the same time the rooms are equipped with everything necessary, the space attracts comfort and a cozy atmosphere, thanks to well-placed accents and applied decor.
We all know perfectly well that minimalism is characterized by spacious rooms with light finishes and soft natural tones. For the living room, it is enough to put upholstered furniture in a room of impressive size, creating a convenient, comfortable area and, if desired, hang a TV. Just a couple of decades ago, none of our compatriots could even think to install a sofa or soft chairs in the middle of the room, in our country it is customary to move all the furniture to the walls. This feature was due not so much to the mentality as to the lack of spacious rooms. In standard "Khrushchevs" every square meter was stolen. But at present, urban apartments with an improved layout, studio apartments, and even more so private houses and cottages, can boast of sufficient area to be able to try on any style of interior.
Small spaces can also be decorated in the style of “comfortable minimalism”. All you need is a light finish in a sunny room (thanks to the huge windows), a wooden floor, a soft, comfortable sofa and a floor lamp to organize a reading corner. The room will not look cold and alienated if you add bright textile to the sofa cushions or a couple of soft frameless poufs, or maybe a rug with colorful ornaments.
These two images of living rooms, furnished with enviable minimalism, are united not only by the presence of a two-sided fireplace, the flame of which can be observed from two rooms, but also by the harmonious arrangement of necessary and sufficient elements of furniture in small rooms.
In a minimalist style, storage systems often appear completely faceless cabinets, devoid of even handles. Thus, you can mask a whole set of very roomy sizes and a light finish in this only contributes.
For a bright and spacious dining room, if you look, you only need a roomy dining table and a campaign of comfortable chairs. Complementing this group with original soft accessories and hanging designer lamps above the table, we get a modern interior in a cozy and comfortable shell ...
... or you can do without decor at all, just a dining table and chairs of an original design, unusual lamps and obligatory decoration in a total light color scheme.
Eclecticism in a modern living room
Often, homeowners who cannot determine their taste preferences or dwell on any one stylistic trend, order designers eclectic living rooms. The fact is that despite the seeming simplicity of organizing a living room in this diverse style. It is not easy to maintain harmony when mixing several styles within the same room. So that the room does not become a colorful embodiment of the mix of all the items that you brought from various trips bought in antique shops and European flea markets, so that the living room does not turn into an exhibition hall for artwork, but remains true to its main purpose - to serve as a recreation and collection room all family,better to seek the help of professionals.
For an eclectic living room, in whose interior variegated furniture is involved not only from different styles, but also from eras, original decor and colorful textiles, the light palette becomes the only possible palette for decoration, and absolutely for all surfaces. In the eclectic style, slight hooliganism is easily allowed. And now, instead of the fireplace traditional for the living room, we see a stove painted in a light shade, the space around which is decorated with deliberate negligence.
An unusual combination of turquoise and emerald shades in the living room created an incredibly positive, elegant holiday atmosphere. Against the background of light, even snow-white finishes, bright pieces of furniture and textiles with rich colors look the most advantageous.
Country elements in a modern living room interior
Even within the city mansion, made in a modern style, there can always be a place for furniture or country-style decor. If homeowners like eco-materials, if they like wooden or stone cladding of certain surfaces or their parts, then country-style can always warm your homes with the warmth of natural materials and simple objects of rural life.
Maybe in the city apartment there is a large stone, which is lined with a fireplace or wooden ceiling beams, would look like something too rural, but for a country house or private cottage, such an interior is more than appropriate, especially surrounded by modern upholstered furniture in bright colors.
This country lounge, which any hunting lodge could be proud of, is nevertheless incredibly modern. Neither the total decoration with natural wood, nor the stone facing the fireplace, nor even the use of the attributes of rural life, cancels the incredible comfort and high level of functionality of the room. And a cozy upholstered zone represented by upholstered furniture with leather upholstery, and a comfortable dining area, cheerful homely textiles and country-style accessories - everything in this living room works to create an incredibly homely atmosphere that you would definitely like to return to.
Modernist style in the interiors of cottages
A soft color palette, natural shades, modern furniture and progressive decor items, but without frills and excessive luxury - many of our compatriots prefer just such a “middle ground”.
The calm and cozy atmosphere of the living room is mesmerizing, nothing irritates the look. Neutral trim in gray tones contributes to a peaceful environment, and modern furniture invites you to relax and read by the fireplace.
Living rooms in private homes often boast not only a large number of square meters, but also high ceilings, huge windows. As a result, such rooms, flooded with light most of the time, are literally created for a contrasting interior - dark frames against the background of light wall and ceiling finishes, dark wood floors and the corresponding monochrome in furniture. Just one bright, accent decor element is enough to dilute the atmosphere and give the interior a unique touch.
The interior, which uses white to black color palettes, is always interesting for its uniqueness, but it gives conservatives in the homeowners in terms of home improvement. For lovers of cleanliness and order, for those who first of all need peace and an atmosphere conducive to relaxation, they may like a similar interior in bright colors, but with contrasting accents.
Finally, several ultramodern interiors, each of which is able to give inspiration to several rooms. Thanks to high-tech materials for construction, decoration, furniture and decor, there are currently practically no boundaries for the realization of one's fantasies reflected in the interior of a room.With a competent designer, even with a not very impressive budget, you can create a unique, very personalized interior, which will not be equal.
