Modern building and finishing materials, raw materials for the manufacture of furniture and decorative elements allow us not only to design our home for comfortable and functional use, but also to embody our cherished design ideas. A private house these days is not only walls and a roof, it is a whole world for its owners, a reflection of their view on aesthetics, practicality, functionality and beauty. The experience gained by designers over the long years of the existence of such a thing as “creating interior design” allows us to create original or traditional, practical or luxurious, avant-garde or minimalist - any options for decorating our homes would be a desire and means. But in the variety of ways to create a modern, stylish and at the same time practical design for private home ownership, it is easy to get confused. We offer you a small collection of practical and effective tips that can help with the design of modern private apartments. The recommendations of designers, of course, are not a dogma, but they can help you make your own decisions on choosing a home decoration concept, decide on a color palette and style, set accents and create the interior of your dreams as a result.

Actual ideas for creating a modern design of a private house

1.Combination of functional segments. The connection within the same room of several zones does not lose its popularity. In private homes, this design technique was no less common than in apartments. The combination of several functional segments in one room allows you to save space and freedom of movement, even in small spaces. As a rule, such studio rooms have a high level of natural light - two or more large-scale windows, in some cases glass doors (exit to the backyard). Combined spaces are convenient from the point of view of operation, cleaning.

Most often, such functional areas as the living room, dining room and kitchen are subject to combination. The location of these three important life segments under one roof allows you to create a practical atmosphere and a beautiful, bright and spacious room with high aesthetic qualities. With the help of modern household appliances with high power but low noise level, the organization of working kitchen processes does not interfere with relaxing in the living room segment or eating in the dining area.

But not only kitchen, dining and living segments are to be combined. For example, a workplace can be located within the living room or bedroom. It is rare that in which house a separate room is allocated for an office (unless the main work of one of the households occurs in the home office). It is also rare in which private apartments it is possible to allocate a separate room for the library, as a rule, book racks and cabinets are placed in the living room or bedroom (depending on the size of the premises and personal preferences of the owners).

2.Plain wall decoration is an actual idea of room decoration. In modern design projects, it is less and less common to use wallpaper with a pattern for wall decoration, unless this print imitates a concrete wall, brick or masonry. Plain finishing materials have become the undisputed favorites. And the point is not only that for small rooms this approach to wall decoration is preferable - light, neutral tones help visually increase the space. Even in fairly spacious rooms, designers recommend using a monophonic finish. Material with a print, pattern or ornament is used only to design accent walls or even their individual sections.

Such a trend is only “at hand” for those who are not yet confident in their abilities and capabilities in the field of designing their own homes. Light, neutral tone - the perfect tone for any furniture and decor. You do not have to puzzle over color combinations, combining shades. Even upholstery in pastel colors looks expressively against a white background, not to mention darker or brighter colors.

Using the design technique of the "accent wall" has not lost its popularity, it has simply undergone some modifications. If earlier in the design projects of living rooms, bedrooms, and children's rooms, dining rooms, one could meet the use of two types of wallpaper from the same collection, perfectly complementing each other, then in modern design options for these rooms various imitations are more and more common. Accent wall is a surface of brick or masonry, finished with wood or ceramic tiles, mosaics. You can create an imitation using decorative plaster, textured or liquid wallpaper, wall panels, laminate.

So, finishing materials in a modern interior should have the following qualities:

be environmentally friendly, safe for humans and the environment;
if possible let air through;
be easy to install, so that the finish can be done independently;
to be unpretentious in the care - surfaces in rooms with high humidity and the level of possible pollution must withstand cleaning with the help of household chemicals and not lose their aesthetic properties;
should be easy to combine with each other.

3.Bright, original furniture is the accent of the interior. Considering the fact that the main trend in the decoration of the room is neutrality, the use of plain, light materials, the role of accent elements goes to furniture. This trend is most clearly used in bedroom interiors - a bed in such rooms most often acts as the only accent design object. Not only the design of the bed, but its textile design is becoming a priority.

Upholstered furniture plays the role of accent elements in the living rooms, dining rooms, classrooms and libraries of private houses. In this case, a bright, colorful or contrasting dark color of the upholstery of upholstered furniture may be present in more than one piece of furniture. For example, in a drawing room two sofas facing each other can be executed in different, but equally accent tones.

4.Storage systems - rational use of space. In modern design projects, you can increasingly see storage systems located from the ceiling to the floor. This approach allows you to maximize the use of existing space. In the kitchens, we see the upper tier of cabinets suspended under the very ceiling (it often has two levels, different in depth). Undoubtedly, the highest level is not suitable for daily use, it is simply inconvenient for a person of average height to get household items from the upper shelves. But from the point of view of storing utensils, which are used infrequently, this approach helps to unload storage systems in other rooms, and to keep the kitchen in order.

If we talk about storage systems in living rooms, they are conditionally divided into two types - built-in racks with open shelves and low modules with facades. Open bookshelves are used for books, documents and photos within the framework, for everything else that the owners would like to hide from the eyes of the guests, compact chests of drawers with drawers, low modules with hinged or sliding doors are used.

5.Lighting devices - diffused or local lighting. Whatever the size of the room of a modern private house, it rarely costs only one source of artificial lighting. After all, the backlight system is not only the ability to illuminate a particular part of the room, but also the ability to create a specific atmosphere, zoning space or highlighting particularly significant segments. Well, and when combining several functional zones (studio room) in one space, the backlight system must be present in each.

One central chandelier is never enough in a bedroom. Even if you do not have the habit of reading before bedtime, lighting from local sources (wall sconces, table or floor lamps) in the bedroom is simply necessary - to create a certain atmosphere of preparation for bedtime. Even in a small living room, ceiling lights are not enough. A floor lamp or table lamp is needed in a soft sitting area, reading corner or near a coffee (coffee) table.

6.Textile design - concise design. If we talk about the drapery of window openings, then designers recommend using the simplest in form and execution of textile solutions. Traditional curtains - straight canvases, flowing down from the ceiling and to the floor with uniform vertical folds, can appear both solo and in company with a translucent veil (most often plain and smooth).

Another relevant way of textile window decoration in modern room interiors with a variety of functional purposes is the use of fabric roll curtains (Roman, textile blinds, Japanese curtain screens). The design of vertical canvases in width just covering the window opening and able to assemble into evenly distributed horizontal folds is ideally suited to the laconic mood of modern rooms.

If we talk about another use of textiles for decorating a room, the most striking and accent is the use of sofas and other decorative pillows. This is the easiest, fastest and cheapest way to change the nature of the interior - replacing the color in the performance of textile decor on the beds in the bedroom or sofas and armchairs in the living room. Replacing cushion covers is much easier than changing the wall decoration or upholstery of upholstered furniture, which is why designers and their customers love this design technique so much.

Actual color palette

As mentioned above, plain wall decoration has become an absolute favorite in the field of residential design. And the fact that light shades in a monophonic version is the most common way to create a universal background of a room will not be news to anyone. Light tone helps smooth out imperfections in architecture and surface treatment, does not focus on flaws in the installation of window or door openings, helps to visually increase the volume of a room, and will become an excellent background for accent furniture or decorative elements.

The use of white for wall decoration is also dictated by the influence of Scandinavian stylistics on the formation of a modern style. Snow-white walls in combination with wooden floors in warm colors are one of the key motives for decorating Scandinavian dwellings. Maximum space and light is a priority in a room of any size. Namely, the white color, which practically does not absorb the sun's rays, perfectly matches the tasks and basic principles of the Scandinavian style.

Gray color does not go out of fashion. Its relevance can be observed for several seasons. Universal, neutral, but at the same time noble and solid - gray color is perfectly combined with various color schemes of the interior. Depending on the chosen shade, you can create a calm, dynamic and even dramatic atmosphere of the room. It is enough to choose a couple of tones for the company in gray (most often white and black, or snow-white surfaces and wooden) and make one bright accent - the original interior is ready.

Black and white combinations in the design of modern rooms occupy not the last place in the list of relevant ideas. On the one hand, such a design is easy to organize even in the absence of design skills, but on the other hand, you can get a truly original, dynamic and stylish image of the room. Depending on the size and purpose of the room, which will be decorated in a contrast version, light and dark tones are used in varying degrees of intensity. Of course, for rooms of a small area, light tone becomes the main one, a dark color is used only to emphasize the geometry and highlight particularly significant interior items. In spacious and bright rooms, a dark tone can be used as the main one for the execution of large furniture or finishing one of the surfaces.

Along with the relevance of using white and contrasting combinations, there is a color palette that will always be used. Warm shades of brown - from light beige, pastel shades to deep, dark colors of “dark chocolate” always create a cozy, comfortable atmosphere for everyone, in which you just want to relax, rest, gain strength after a hard day for new achievements. That is why beige colors can be found in a variety of rooms - from the bathroom to the living room, from the hallway to the kitchen room.
