Revived tales in the interiors of country houses

In the life of every urban person, especially family man, there comes a moment when even the most modern benefits of the civilization of a megalopolis cease to be priority. On the contrary, there is a desire to change the situation, to live some other life, or maybe to return to a time of carefree childhood, when summer vacations in the village so wonderful were spent visiting grandmothers reading fairy tales, having tea with homemade jam and buttercakes.

And then a discussion of the issue is submitted to the court of the family, but should we live outside the city, having acquired a ready-made house? Or maybe start with the zero option - buying a site for its construction? Depending on this, the work plans with which any important business begins will differ.

Visualization of the desired image

The next stage is a series of discussions about how the suburban housing should look. It is important to come to an agreement here, although it is quite possible to resolve the difference in the tastes of family representatives of different generations by dividing the available spaces into zones - a kitchen, a living room, bedrooms, a nursery, a bathroom, and implementing various wishes in their design. The theme of lighting, insulation and heating systems is being developed separately. At the stage of decorating, there is everything for everyone - young artists and sculptors will create paintings and crafts; grandmothers will bring home a special cosiness and charm with their embroideries, knitted little things, grandfathers can boldly prove themselves in woodworking and metal work.

Of course, from the point of view of the Tsar-reformer Peter I, the Monplaisir Palace in Peterhof can be considered an ideal example of an approach to creating an economical, ergonomic and highly artistic country residence. But, if the ambitions of the owners of the dacha do not extend so far, then you can borrow the idea embodied in the name of the complex “My pleasure”, and this should become a golden key to help find the optimal solution to emerging problems and reconcile all contradictions.

The openness and variety of modern information systems allows you to visually get acquainted with the various styles in the design of suburban interiors, to keep abreast of fashion trends and, if not copy, then borrow some technique or idea for your own project.

Rustic

Domestic version of the American style countryotherwise referred to as "rustic". A good solution for those who want to get as close to nature as possible. It differs in a rather crude "clumsy" study (in the literal and figurative senses) of the details - furniture, walls, floors, ceilings.

Allows the use of untreated wooden beams, poles, dead wood. Powerful tables, beds, benches, chairs, racks, bedside tables are made of natural material. As a decor, products from wool, fur, leather, cotton, wickerwork harmoniously look. The central object, which serves to heat the entire room and for cooking, is the classic large Russian stove. Lighting - stylized candlelight or in the form of kerosene lamps. In a word, before my eyes - a revived picture from the Russian fairy tale "Masha and the Bear."

Fachwerk

For lovers of a rational, orderly, but no less attractive design, the “fachwerk” style can be proposed, a term that until recently denoted only the type of building structure (in it load-bearing beams are viewed from the outside of the house, giving it a distinctive look).

But recently, this style is actively included in the domestic building fashion and is used for interior decoration. The German-Dutch coziness of the room seems to take the viewer into the revitalized fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm.Characteristics - an abundance of wooden structures, a tile as a means of decoration and a combination of contrasting tones - white, blue, gray, brown.

Scandinavian style

The embodiment of rationality, functionality and simplicity. The main idea is integration with the environment. Inside the house - the same muted colors that are visible from the window - a gray cloudy sky or light clouds, stones and rocks, tree bark and needles.

The furniture is simple and clear drawing from natural, often painted wood, focuses on. The means of decoration are objects of decorative art, often made by the homeowners themselves. The leading role in the heating system and the organizing space of the dominant is played by a brick (stone) fireplace or a cast-iron fireplace insert, which, unlike “our” bourgeois, is very decorative. In front of the fireplace is often a cozy rocking chair with a plaid. And if not for technological innovations that penetrated even into the suburban space, then we have before us a video illustration of Andersen's fairy tales.

Provence

One of the most popular styles that are associated with the smell of summer and rustic relaxation is style provence.

Little Red Riding Hood, knocking on her grandmother's house, discovered an interior decorated in this style behind the opened door. The main shades of color in which the room is made are pastel (white, blue, pale green), as well as floral (sunflower, lavender, forget-me-nots). Furniture - rustic and rough, mostly wooden, wicker or forged. Textiles are actively used in decoration, including handmade - napkins, crocheted tablecloths.

Oriental

Ideas for exotic country interiors oriental stylistics.

It is unlikely that a magnificent Arabic-Persian style (from the tales of "1000 and 1 Nights") will be appropriate in the country. While the Far East, Japanese or Chinese, with their refined rationalism and aesthetics, an abundance of wood, glass and stone, structures of rooms and furniture with sliding doors and low seats, is becoming quite common.

Fusion

But if there is no general opinion of which fairy-tale option to prefer, then you can always use fusion style, which is characterized by a mixture of all styles - from classic to postmodern, focusing on individual parts of the interior using spotlights.

In the heating system, a fireplace can be used as a decorative element. Textile design based on the use of soft fabrics (plush and velvet), combined with fur products, knitwear. Feature - artistic mess, bright decoration materials with exotic ethnic patterns, a combination of artistic traditions of the East and West.

Analysis of financial support of the project

One should really assess what approximately the amount the family is able to allocate for the realization of their country dream (it is necessary to remember the well-known law that, with any exact calculation, the amount of work will absorb 2 times more than the planned funds). You can, of course, determine the amount of the initial investment, bearing in mind that the income allows you to contribute funds to the construction in stages. Expenses for the purchase of a house or a plot, paperwork, the purchase of building materials, possible services of construction companies, and furniture should be provided. The creation of a country house by the efforts of all family members in itself can be a fascinating fairy tale that unites, never bothers, can remain open-ended for a long time and expect a creative continuation.
