Design in stylistic directions

Design and decoration involves adhering to a specific style both for the interior of the premises and for the refinement of the exteriors of architectural complexes.

  • Modern (modern, art deco, art nouveau, chalet, minimalism, modernism, loft, eco-style, high-tech, techno, futurism);
  • Classic (antique, pure "classic", ethno, colonial, country).
Both directions are relevant for the design of modern apartments. To create this or that interior, various examples and devices are used: a specific finish, a play of light, lighting experiments, the use of small accessories, indoor plants in the interior, and much more.

Decor can be festive and everyday, thematic and dedicated to a specific event. It can be systematized even by season:

  • Winter (snow motifs, New Year's mood, decorated Christmas trees, garlands, Christmas toys);
  • Summer (sea direction, gastronomic experiments with berries, green notes, beach compositions);
  • Spring (themes of flowering trees, solar motifs and decorations with greenery).
All options can be complemented by motives of a modern or classic style in the interior. However, it is not customary to combine several seasonal decorations in one composition at once.

  • Stone and wood carving (expensive and sophisticated technique used in classic directions);
  • Stained-glass windows (Subject or ornamental installations featuring a particularly rich texture and intense colors).
