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;

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) for the refinement of 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 floor covering; 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).
