2019 Hall Design: Modern New

With the onset of the new season, designers and other specialists in various fields of our life offer fresh ideas that will be relevant in the near future. And although the fashion for decorating living spaces is not as fleeting as changes in the manufacture of clothes and accessories, for example, the interior industry offers its attention regularly to its trends and innovations. In this publication, we will deal with the latest, most recent ideas for the design of the main room in each home - the living room. A common room for the whole family, where households gather in the evening, receptions or modest gatherings with the closest ones are organized on weekends and holidays, should not only be convenient, functional and modern, but also beautiful, cozy. If you are planning a repair or a small alteration in the living room, then our impressive selection of design projects can come in handy for creating the interior of your dreams. The main thing is to find a balance between modern design ideas and your own idea of ​​what a comfortable, practical and aesthetic room should be for the whole family.

Before proceeding with the search for decoration materials and furniture for the living room, you need to decide on the color scheme of the room - choose the main and tone and additional colors (it is better to limit yourself to a couple) and their shades. The choice of color palette depends on the following parameters:

• the size and shape of the room;
• the number and size of window openings, which means the intensity of natural light;
• the location of the room relative to the cardinal points (for the north side, you need to choose colors from a warm range, for the south you can give preference to a cold palette);
• your personal preferences, because it’s up to you to enjoy the atmosphere of the living room after a hard day in the company of the whole family.

After the main colors for the living room are determined, it is necessary to place accents. If the whole room is decorated exclusively in light or dark colors, the image will merge into one color spot. It is necessary to emphasize the shape of the room, highlight the main elements - most often upholstered furniture, less often - storage systems. There are traditional layouts for colors that do not go out of fashion for several seasons and most likely will be favorites for a very long time. But there are innovations among the list of the most popular flowers of the coming season.

If last season the absolute favorite among saturated colors was shades of Marsala, then the blue tone will be the absolute leader in the future. Blue has many shades - from sky blue to dark indigo. But the use of any shade of blue brings coolness to the interior of the room (all tones of blue and even their derivatives belong to the cold color group) and therefore it must be diluted with warm tones or used dosed as an accent.

If you select a shade of blue to finish the accent wall (or the entire room), then experts recommend dwelling on calm tones - light blue with a touch of gray, whitened indigo shades, blue with a touch of purple, blue with a touch of gray or white, the color of wiped denim. If one of these shades is used to decorate the living room, then the furniture is best chosen in bright colors - a light beige or gray (silver) sofa or a pair of armchairs will look most advantageous.

As accent elements, you can use brighter and more saturated shades of blue - electric, indigo, ultramarine.To add a touch of warmth, it is best to use yellow or orange elements in support of such rich tones. The balance of warm and cold will bring harmony to the interior and at the same time create an original image of the room, boring design. Such combinations will be relevant in the next few years, so you can be sure of the modernity of your repair and not think about alterations in the near future.

The choice of white color as the main tone for room decoration is a trend for all time. And the point is not only that the modest areas of our rooms encourage the use of colors that can visually increase the volume of rooms (and better than white, no other tone can cope with this), but that all shades of white are perfectly combined with any color furnishing and decoration solutions. On a white background, even dim interior items, pastel colors and shiny surfaces look advantageous.

For most of us, it is white color that is associated with freshness and purity, lightness and freedom. In small rooms with poor natural light, white is the only option for wall and ceiling decoration in the living room. It’s easy to choose furniture and decorative elements for white - even for those who are designing for the first time.

The ideal option for diluting the white tone is the use of wooden surfaces (they will bring natural warmth to the interior) and the use of one bright color (or its close shades) as an accent. For bold owners who love colorful color spots in a light interior, you can suggest the use of bright colors for upholstery of upholstered furniture or sofa cushions, curtains or carpet. For those who are not yet confident in their choice of color combinations or simply prefer more calm and neutral images of the rooms - the ideal option is a combination of white with wooden surfaces and any shades of gray in furniture, textile decoration and decor.

All shades of white are great for decorating the combined room, which, in addition to the living room, is the kitchen and dining area. Creating a single, harmonious image of the room in which all functional segments are subordinated to the general concept is the key to successful design. And the light tone of the decoration in this case will be the main component. And you can zone the room using the color of furniture, highlighting (conditionally) each working segment.

The white color of the walls is the hallmark of the Scandinavian style. If you are attracted to the concept of comfortable laconicism, then Scandinavian motifs in the design of the living room can be an excellent design option. Moreover, the style of Northern Europe is now at the peak of popularity. Simple, but at the same time cozy, concise, but “home”, simple in terms of design and practical in terms of operation. The Scandinavian style is cozy and pleasant, but at the same time democratic.

For medium and large rooms, you can safely use the design technique, which will be relevant for many years - contrasting combinations in the design of the living room. The alternation of light and dark surfaces allows you to create dynamic, clear, structured images of rooms in which you want to not only relax, but also act and create. White tone is perfectly combined with dark gray, graphite, dark chocolate color, dark blue and deep dark purple tone. All shades of wenge color in furnishings, decoration and decor items will look contrasting in an alliance with light colors.

Between white and black, there is an incredible amount of gray. Not the first season, this neutral color has become one of the leaders in use in the formation of the living room interior.The calm, neutrality and pacification that this tone carries attract both designers and their customers. Gray color and its shades can easily become the main item in the palette of a modern living room. Many variations from light gray, silver to graphite color perfectly contrast with each other and with a slight addition of white tone (for example, for ceiling decoration) can create a relaxed and at the same time elegant image of the room.

Another way to create a harmonious alliance with white is to use beige and brown colors. All natural shades of brown - from light beige to deep dark chocolate, look great on a white background decoration. Such combinations almost always create a warm atmosphere of space. And for the common family room, this aspect is one of the key in the formation of a cozy and comfortable environment in all respects.

Initially, modern style is a mix of ideas borrowed from other styles. Minimalism and loft, pop art and country, eclecticism and classic - many different ideas were transformed from these styles to create modern design projects. In the matter of combining the elements inherent in different styles, the main thing is moderation and harmony. If you decide to introduce into the modern living room, for example, objects of a classic look, then it is worth dosing in the event that the room boasts the appropriate dimensions. You must admit that a luxurious chandelier with many hanging crystal elements will not be appropriate in a room with a low ceiling. Or a huge mirror in a luxurious gilded frame does not fit into the living room with an area of ​​12 square meters.

From the country style, the modern style “inherited” a love of natural materials. The use of stone and wood for decoration and manufacturing of interior items brings to the interior not only notes of proximity to nature and rural life, but also a touch of luxury, because the use of natural raw materials is not cheap. If there is a fireplace in your living room, then using a stone to clad the space around it will be an excellent touch in shaping the image of a cozy and at the same time modern interior. Wood can be used as a finishing material for floors, partially paneled with walls or ceiling beams can be used to add a canty mood to a living room design. A little rusticity in the modern design of the room can be added if you use a layer of wood (as if untreated) for the execution of the countertops of the coffee table.

Eclecticism in a modern style of design of living rooms is most often used in the selection of models of upholstered furniture. A pair of sofas of completely different appearance - not only in form and texture, but also in color, can become not just a part of the interior, but also its creative part. In order to maintain the originality of furniture in the recreation area, one bright element of wall decor or designer lamps (chandeliers, table or floor lamps by armchairs or sofa) will be enough.

In modern design projects of living rooms, one can often find the use of wicker elements of the interior - these can be both furniture items (armchairs and even sofas), and baskets and boxes for magazines and books, parts of furniture (coffee tables, coasters), decorative elements (vases , lampshades for floor lamps, frames for mirrors, photos and paintings), rugs, mats. Such wicker items indicate the presence of beach style and some varieties of country.

The desire for maximum streamlining of the interior and getting rid of everything superfluous is due to the modern style of minimalism. Of course, in a modern living room there is decor (but only functional), there are not only basic pieces of furniture, but also additional, auxiliary elements.And yet, the living room of 2018 is primarily practical, functional and easy to operate. In small rooms, a feeling of freedom and spaciousness can only be achieved by removing all unnecessary and installing exclusively basic interior items.
