Often, reading glossy magazines, we learn that in the house of a well-known figure used the high-tech style, or that in the house of a popular singer there is an art deco style. But how to understand what all these styles mean? After all, not everyone is given to comprehend and realize the variety of design terminology.
The period of the fracture in the architecture falls on the late 90s, and accordingly in the design sphere. Society is tired of monotonous modernism, with bends and imperfect lines.
The lifestyle changes rapidly, cars, new means of communication appear, new technologies appear in industrial production. The lifestyle of society is greatly facilitated, and thereby the new style begins to prevail in construction. Decoration of the premises are freed from excess decor, curved lines and curls. New buildings appear, huge, glass and concrete high -rise buildings, the so -called skyscrapers.
A completely new architecture of simple forms rapidly conquers the world and seems to be a housing for the future for society. Ease of interior to be perfection and simplification.
Even furniture (chairs, chairs, sofas) returns its original meaning, the same metal furniture. The minimalistic direction in architecture is born.
In Russia, minimalism was rooted quite quickly. A small apartment, with the minimum use of funds, can be equipped in a minimalist style. In the presence of a fairly large living space, you can also boldly use this style. Design in a minimalist style, will give you the opportunity to expand your living space even more and make it a great place to relax and relaxation.
The interior of minimalism is light and free. Calm, soft colors are mainly used. But you can often find “screaming” minimalism, with a different variety of colors.
The main condition for minimalism is the correct use of space. This style is characterized by sliding partitions, both from glass and translucent fabric;
illumination of walls and floor; combining the color scheme of flooring. For example, the kitchen can be made part of the studio or separated by a transparent partition.
Stone, brick – these are the basic means and materials used in the interior of minimalism. Naturally, wood is an established means of design. Using a parquet coating, it should be remembered that the floor with a pattern does not suit the trends of this style at all, and it is better to use a parquet board. Attention should be paid to new wall decor materials, t.e. wallpaper that can be painted or embossed plaster. But one should not forget about the light and warm colors of this decor.
The main role in minimalism belongs to the window space. If you have a large window (for example, half the wall) with a magnificent landscape behind it, you do not need curtains or curtains. A charming view from the window will become a harmonious and complementary part of the interior. If the window is a gloomy city, then the curtains will be in place. But it should be remembered that the choice of curtains or curtains should correspond to the entire interior, t.e. It should be plain, simple colors.
But if you cannot decide on the choice, then the white blinds can completely replace the curtains.
Naturally, in a minimalistic style, as in any other direction, you can use the attributes of the decor, however, a little in a limited number. It can be things belonging to the owner and be dear to him. But it should be emphasized that these things should be at least a classic form. It can be mirrors, photos or abstract paintings inserted into simple flat frames. It is not recommended to use ancient household items or fountains in design.
It is recommended to combine minimalism and practicality. The main furniture may contain additional space for storing bedding or things.
You can use folding tables that are easy to hide and use only if necessary.
The calling of minimalism, as much as possible to expand the space and provide freedom of action in the room.
