At one fine moment of professional activity, it is time to share knowledge accumulated with experience. I have ripe the topic of "interior lifehaki"! I am engaged in the interior design for more than six years in residential and public spaces, and during this time I managed to identify the main differences, professionally created interior, from amateur! Therefore, it is ready to share with you "Lifehas", which will allow you to create a harmonious, interior without a designer who will look very worthy of stylish and professionally.
I want to draw your attention to the details that, unfortunately, are focused on, while they are in aggregate and create a common picture.
Oddly enough, the elimination of typical errors is almost 80% of success.
So, the first error that we will exclude is an incorrect approach to the choice of flooring and plinth. In most cases, I watched how people choose a fairly expensive coating and a cheap plastic plinth in the color of laminate or linoleum. At a time, you need to do exactly the opposite.
one. If you do not go around the house on the hairpins and your room is not wet, then you, practically, do not differ expensive laminate from the cheap, at the moment when it will lie on your semi. And here is a cheap plinth with plastic connecting elements, shorts The effect of the most expensive laminate or parquet. Therefore, it is better to choose the coating itself a little cheaper, and the framing is slightly expensive!
2. The smaller the connecting elements, the cleaner looks like your interior in the literal and figurative sense, because it also makes it much easier in cleaning! When washing the floor, you can not be afraid that the plastic angular element, just notice, fall off.
3. Another "Plinth Law", which can work for you (but most often works against) - this is a color! Choosing a plinth in the color of the floor, you steal the height of the ceiling in a visual perception, to the height of the plinth. That is, if the ceiling height is for example 250 cm, but you have chosen the plinth 4 cm in the color of the floor, then the visually, your ceiling will seem 246! Believe me, it significantly worsens the perception of the interior with a low already ceiling! Please note that the next illustration as the interior is perceived if the plinth has a larger color contrast with the floor rather than with a wall! Plinth in the color of the wall returns her visual perception of height! Making a room spacious!
Armed with this knowledge remains to use them correctly! A little more about color, altitude and shape.
If you want to make a contrast plinth, but your ceiling is not higher than 260 cm, then the plinth should not be high (from 4 to 6 cm), otherwise the ceiling will seem to be lower again, but it is better not to complicate its shape, if the color travelers are approximate To the color of the wall or painted in the color of the wall, then its height can be 6-10 cm and more, as some experiments with the form will be appropriate here. If you choose a classic profile, keep in mind that it will be necessary to support the style, it is not necessary to make the entire interior in the classics, it will be enough, for example, external curtains in Scandinavian style, the classic profile will fit ethno, boho and so on.
four. It is still very important: do not combine different types of flooring in small rooms, it will crush the space, interfere with the overall perception, will force you to use connecting elements that do not add beauty! Even if you did it, it is better to refrain from arcs and curvilinestity!
five. Another typical error, excluding which you will be able to create a more interesting space! Just need to get rid of related combinations of three colors: brown, brown and brown ... Actually related combinations, make it competent, much more difficult than contrasting. But people are afraid of color experiments, to be afraid that the color of them will be bored, and, on this, everything is as one, buy all beige and brown. In fact, this fear is not unfounded! The fact is that in the caller and the choice of color is also a secret! The color should be difficult, in other words, it should be difficult to be its formula (pigments should be three or more), there must be a black pigment in it, it will make the color calm, natural, even if it is dark and saturated. In any building store, you can see the fan of such complex flowers, they will be as if with a shade of gray, but do not be afraid, they will not look "dirty" on the wall, on against, such a color in the interior will look noble.
For many, I am sure this will become a real find and dear to the incarnation of the dream of an extraordinary and cummage of the interior that will not look frightly! By start the right choice of color, make painted walls more interesting than walls with wallpaper (especially if the expensive wallpaper is not true), which will also save you to save money and reduce the risk to get into the promotion, and throw away the money for the wind!
6. To brown consciously! If you all decided to stay on brown! It is worth remembering that this color does not like cheap materials if the tree is a tree, and not "under the tree"!
7. And in conclusion, I will share another little secret, but I will not stop in detail, the fact is that there is a similar rule (as for plinths) for ceiling eaves (which people are called ceiling plinths). If we paint the cornice in the color of the walls, we visually give the walls an extra height. Only eaves can be painted before installing, and not after it, like the plinth!
eight . If you can order laminated windows and wooden window sills, it is better to highlight the budget for it, rather than on expensive wallpaper, if possible, it is worth excluding all plastic, all kinds of angular linings and connectors, are not too diversified with the finish, it is better to make a "box" laconic, and Contrasts of textures to enter at the expense of the curtains and furniture, especially since it will be easier to change it!
Of course, this is still not all information, but it will eliminate errors at the initial stage (regardless of the selected style), those that would not be corrected in the future without repair. And also lay out the right ground for your interior! On this I will finish today, I wish the inspiration to everyone and everyone! As well as simple solutions of complex problems!
