The most difficult thing is to correctly determine the question of how the interior of your own home should look like. As a rule, construction and repairs are rather complicated procedures, so I want to complete them for a long time, so as not to return to this issue again.
In this article, we will consider two completely different interior options - a cozy chalet or a spacious loft. These two design directions have a lot of fans. But those who like a chalet are unlikely to be able to feel comfortable in a loft-style room, and vice versa.
Chalet is a style born in the Alps. Once this was the name of small rural houses, dwellings of shepherds. Now this trend in interior design, in which natural materials are predominantly used for decoration, such as wood or stone, where there is a fireplace and wooden beams on the ceilings. Furniture in such an interior is preferable to wood, and chandeliers are forged, very often many shelves and niches are made in the premises. A classic chalet is a small cozy house, located in the bosom of nature, so magnificent landscape views are sure to open from the windows. But chalet elements can be safely used in a city apartment, where they will also be appropriate. Due to the fact that a picturesque view does not always open from the apartment, painting on the walls depicting windows with magnificent panoramas is very often used in chalet-style interiors. Thus, a window appears in the interior through which you can always contemplate the snow-capped mountains, green fields, a stormy stream of the river, or everything,
The loft style owes its origin to the Manhattan factory district. It was there in the forties of the twentieth century that the idea of re-equipping the abandoned buildings of manufactories, factories and factories for housing arose. These are spacious rooms with high ceilings. As a rule, in this style it is preferable to use colors of cold shades, for example, metallic or blue. A game of contrast is very common, when three walls are painted in one color, and the fourth in another. This effect is used for zoning, since partitions in the space are practically not used. Most often, the walls are made to imitate rough brickwork, which was just present in the decoration of industrial premises at that time. Furniture that finds its place in the loft style is usually very simple and functional. Most often it is metal or painted to resemble metal, but wooden furniture may also be present. Since there are no partitions in the room, it is the furniture that performs their functions, that is, it divides the space into parts. The windows in the room should be as high as possible (ideal is floor-length windows) and wide, without curtains, curtains, tulle. This allows maximum natural light to enter the room.
In fact, it doesn't matter which style you like, it is important that you feel comfortable in such an interior. The main thing is to keep the design in the same spirit from beginning to end, so that the space is integral.
