Styles and nuances in decor

In interior design, it is recommended to use a minimum number of elements that will create a homely atmosphere, ideally and they should be of some practical benefit. This is not pure asceticism, but minimalism with a touch of luxury. Choosing a few decor items, you should focus on high quality.

Exclusive homemade or custom-made interior items are popular

Decor solutions:

Metallic textures are at the height of fashion. However, it is worth adding something more out of the ordinary than handles or a countertop. A round chandelier with gilding will be a trendy option..
Chandeliers of the most unusual shapes are also popular..
3D – mosaic. Pick one piece to decorate the room. For example, you can revet an apron with a volumetric mosaic..
The same apron can be made printed by matching a pattern to match the main design..
Walls decorated with mirror mosaics add light to the room and look very interesting.
Open shelves – with or without glass fronts. Visually increase the space.
Household appliances in bright colors. In case the built-in is tired, the technique can be made the dignity of the room.
Unusual bright carpet can also be used as an accent.

Metal looks good in the form of bars or other very thin lines, literally strokes

The wall can be completely covered with shelves and they will not “crush” if you use a combination of closed and open shelves

The latest trends in the interior of the kitchen

Functionality and practicality have a special place in the interior design of the kitchen. And stylistic solutions can be very unusual and violate the stereotyped ideas about decoration..

In the design of the kitchen, you do not need to be afraid of bright colors, you can safely use yellow, light green or sunny orange

Kitchen interior design trends:

Union. To expand the space, the kitchen is connected to other rooms. An excellent solution would be a studio kitchen that captures the living room and divides into zones. Designers often make a kitchen from modules similar to ordinary furniture, combining it with another part of the apartment. The kitchen ceases to be a limited space, cluttered with cabinets and objects and is not perceived as a boring space solely for cooking.
Matte coating. Shiny lacquered facades are out of fashion in 2020.
Metal and stone finishes. Such modern materials as glass, wood, plastic and gypsum are also actively used. Combinations of different materials look interesting.
Thin countertops and wide work surfaces.
Cabinets without handles. The absence of the top row is welcomed.

The interior of the kitchen should be spacious, with clear laconic forms.

There should be fresh flowers or herbs in the kitchen

The modern kitchen is comfortably furnished. Each item in the room performs some function and is in the designated place. No unnecessary things that only take up space. Plain dishes are preferred. Necessary tools are at arm’s length in equipped worktops.

Household appliances are mainly built into furniture modules, but in some cases it is permissible not to hide them, but to make them the dignity of the room. The main thing is that it is easy to use and contributes to the maximum optimization of the cooking processes. Great importance is attached to manufacturability. Wi-Fi is built into modern technology for remote control and receiving notifications about the cooking process.

Touch screens are increasingly common in modern kitchens, and intuitively, we understand that gadgets will be the main trend in the future.

The highlight of the kitchen interior can be partial or complete wall decoration with brickwork.

To decorate the walls of a small kitchen, choose light colors of tiles or wallpaper. This will help to visually enlarge the space. For a greater effect, the ceiling is also recommended to be kept in light colors. Such execution will correspond to the minimalistic trend. If you wish, you can add non-flashy accents..

The softness of pastels and the nobility of metal

If, despite the large selection of trendy colors, none of them seems suitable for decorating your apartment, there is a great solution. Designers recognize pastel colors as relevant for the interior, regardless of the fashion season. Let’s remind that pastel colors are shades of any color, diluted with white. Its pigment makes any color more soothing and suitable for decorating a living space..

It is customary to refer to pastel colors as light blue, cream, milky, transparent yellow, pale pink and many other slightly muted and discreet shades.

You can choose any pastel shade from a huge palette, and to express the fashionable spirit of the times, use the most trendy finishing materials in interior design. The combination of pastels with metal will look spicy and fashionable. This material is now used not only as an additive, but also serves as the basis for entire kitchen surfaces..

Metal countertop in the interior of a fashionable kitchen

In addition to being spectacular, metal facades perform one small but pleasant function – you can attach magnets with task lists to them, leave notes for your loved ones. Metal in facades combines well with glass, wood, concrete and stone. With a low budget, it is permissible to use an imitation of metal.

Fashionable styles in the interior

Now loft and minimalism dominate. Here are the key points that characterize them:

Minimalism	Loft
Finishes in chrome steel, glass, stone or wood	Finishing the floor and walls for concrete
2 primary colors, a third is possible as an accent	Wall decoration with bleached or red bricks
Massive windows to fill the room with light	Open communications
Lack of partitions in the room	Ceiling beams
Geometry of figures	Untreated wood tables and benches
Blinds instead of curtains	Metal cabinets

Comfortable minimalism is ideal for small spaces – only the necessary set of items, but at the same time, the situation should not be ascetic

Industrial design style, democratic and provocative at the same time, consists of ostentatious emptiness and deliberately rude details.

If you are an avid fashionist or like radical changes, then the style can be changed in accordance with the fashion. But remember that style reflects the character of the tenant more than other aspects. If the apartment being renovated is planned for a long-term stay, it is recommended to choose a style that matches the temperament and lifestyle. Then the apartment will become as comfortable as possible for you, and you will look harmonious in your home. There are always fashion trends that can be implemented within the style of your choice..
