Design and decoration of modern rooms

Design is a special category of aesthetics that can be interpreted in different ways. In a broad sense, design and decoration can be perceived as artistic design, the design of complex aesthetic designs for various purposes. In most English-language sources, the term "design" implies both style, technical design, and the actual activities of a professional nature.

Key areas

Any catalog of modern design is a colorful illustration consisting of a huge number of details. It is better to consider interior design from the position of the main areas:
  • Landscape;
  • Graphic;
  • Interior design;
  • Industrial;
  • Architectural.
All these species can be divided into many other categories. Particular attention should be paid precisely to the styles in design, which determine the nature of the interior.

By type of premises

Design and decoration of premises involves the use of various techniques and methods of landscaping in order to create a single organic composition. Considering the design of the premises, the following varieties can be distinguished:
  • Bedroom design;
  • Living room
  • Hallway;
  • The hall;
  • Children's room;
  • Kitchens;
  • Bathroom;
  • Balcony (loggia, greenhouse).
Design, as an aesthetic process, is aimed not only at the internal space of a house or apartment. Decorating and shaping a special style is necessary in relation to the exterior of the room. The composition of each architectural complex should be organic, holistic and thought out.

Types of design as components of a single system

The design of the interior space and landscape plots in any case forms a lot of details and nuances. The main components that predetermine various directions in design and decoration:
  • Textile;
  • Textured plaster;
  • Plastic panels for walls;
  • Wooden panels for walls;
  • Facing tile;
  • Wallpaper.
To create a spectacular and stylish interior create entire projects. The designer should conduct a review in all areas: from aesthetics to technical nuances.

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. The style of the interior is a generalized term of special features (decoration, furniture, the use of special techniques) to refine the location. Design can be divided into two global categories:
  • 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.

Types of decoration

Decor can be festive and everyday, thematic and dedicated to a specific event. It can be systematized even by season:
  • Autumn (leaf theme, golden notes, plaids, motifs with hot tea and coffee);
  • 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.

Interior decoration

Comparison of all styles with each other is pointless, but it is worth mentioning the key decoration techniques that can be used in any interior and significantly affect its aesthetic potential:
  • Wall painting (can also be used to decorate the ceiling or flooring; in some cases, furniture and equipment are made out);
  • Stucco molding (an original and extravagant way to give the composition a complex texture and respectability, is most often found in eclecticism, classic, vintage compositions);
  • Stone and forging, as well as all kinds of combinations of these two materials (appropriate in the styles of country, Provence, chalet, Rococo, classic, art nouveau);
  • 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).
You can talk about the decor and design of apartments and country houses for a very long time. Mankind has been engaged in decorating their own homes for many years, having accumulated colossal experience and knowledge. The whole science and philosophy of aesthetics and beauty passed from generation to generation, supplemented and transformed by fashion trends of each new era.
