A new apartment is a great event for any family, because there are so many interesting things ahead: choosing a design solution for the space, filling it with stylish furniture, searching for interesting decorative items, breathtaking discussions about the future decoration of the house. The latest trends in interior design demonstrate a move away from the minimalism that has been popularized in recent years, and a return to the creation of warm, comfortable interiors filled with the necessary style elements, colored with modernity.
Features and options of the European style
European style in the interior is a modern interpretation of traditional style options. The absence of strict requirements for the obligatory copying of finishing techniques of historical styles easily fits this trend into modern life, makes it in demand among customers, and allows designers to design cozy, elegant spaces filled with air and light. Conventionally, European style can be divided into classic and modern.
Style Options | European classics | European modernity |
Distinctive design elements | Large windows with glazing, the use of an arched finial with a fan-shaped frame Classic floor coverings (parquet, parquet boards) | Large window openings, single glass Use of floor tiles, porcelain tiles in living rooms |
Features of finishing, accessories | Filling the room with side tables and coffee tables Curtains on a curtain rod hanging on both sides of the window Multi-shade chandeliers of complex design | Limiting the number of small furnishings Roman blinds or no curtains Single-shade volumetric luminaires |
One of the main characteristics of European-style apartment design is matte finish.
Dense, velvety finishing materials and fabrics are used. Muted shine is acceptable to a limited extent:
- metal fittings for doors and windows (latches, handles, hinges);
- curtain holders, cornices, plumb lines for Roman blinds;
- lighting fixture parts;
- accessories, decorative objects (vases, candlesticks, fireplace sets, picture framing).
English curtains: interesting options
In British fashion for interiors, English curtains are a must. They first appeared in the mid-VXIII century. Today you can often find them in rich houses and cottages. Such curtains have some distinctive features.

What are they?
By design, “London” curtain models are lift-up window decorations. When folding such curtains towards the top, spectacular voluminous folds are formed. The lower part of such models has an interesting braid in the form of embroidery and small bells.

There are also laces along the edges of such fabrics. They help give the curtains the correct shape during the lifting process.
A few words about the advantages of curtains
Comfortable, weighty and airtight curtains are often used at night. They also do an excellent job of blocking the wind during strong drafts. In addition to these useful qualities, English curtains have a number of positive characteristics:
- fit well into the interior;
- emphasize the stylistic direction of any room;
- universal (can play the role of night and day curtains);
- They have a simple cut, so they can be easily repaired with their own hands;
- The material is easy to care for.

The fastenings of English curtains are also considered universal, since they are perfectly held both in the ceiling and inside window openings. To install such curtains, you will need to install a special profile cornice.

Selection of curtains depending on fabric
There are many options for decorating windows in the English style of a room. This depends not only on the ability to come up with individual design features, but also on the fabric of the curtains. There are different models, they create a unique effect in window decoration:
- Pastel fabrics with patterns. This may involve a strict ornament or a floral one. Such curtain models fit perfectly into such “delicate” rooms as the bedroom and kitchen.
- Plaid and a floral motif will create a spectacular combination that will look very good in the hall and living room. Here they also practice decorating large windows around the perimeter with curtains with monograms.
- When visually increasing space, they try to give preference to floral fabrics. At the same time, they should not stand out too much against the background of the general situation. The effect is complemented by beautiful bows and devices that create voluminous folds.
- To keep the waves neat, choose models with soft fabric drapery. Rigid textiles will maintain the correct shape of the created puffs. The lining on the reverse side will further thicken the curtains and create additional waves.
In order for English curtains to look stylish and rich, they must be hung strictly in rooms with a large area. It is this nuance that will highlight the aristocracy of the room.

Staircase in English style
The English style in the interior also includes some features for the design of staircases. This practice is only imaginable in houses with two floors. They try to design the ascent with steps with some nuances:
An important condition is the use of real wood for arranging the stairs. This applies to the entire structure. Handrails and columns must have threads
If there are balusters, then they are also designed in an interesting way (the pattern is made by cutting wood). The shade of the structure is only in light colors. Only the largest columns at the bottom and top of the flight of stairs can remain dark. Staircases with a rotation of 90 or 180 degrees have a special effect. However, such a design is permitted if free space allows. A spiral wooden staircase also has a place in the interior of the English style. Most often this is an air structure.

To create this design element, noble varieties of trees must be used: ash, oak, beech, birch. They are incredibly durable and lend themselves well to finishing in any way.
Stylish color scheme: avoiding bright colors
In European classics, the use of a limited set of light colors is not a flaw, but an advantage. A huge number of shades of varying degrees of saturation create a rich palette of interior colors. Preference is given to pastel, whitewashed options, color accents are muted. Instead of pure, flashy colors, a more restrained range is used.
Against the background of light walls, upholstered furniture and fabric decor successfully sound old brick, matte chocolate, dark green, gray-blue, warm dark gray, and other complex color combinations.
When decorating an interior in a European style, avoid dark door panels and narrow baseboards that match the color of the floor. White reigns here. Doors and portals of any shade of white are preferred: creamy, snowy, bleached wood.
Eurostyle concept
In modern European style, the idea of simplicity and lightness prevails. It does not encourage one to boast of wealth and sophistication, does not evoke feelings of pride, and does not become a reason to prove something. He does not encourage you to think about arrangement “for centuries”, but simply to enjoy every moment. This is not only the layout of rooms and decor, but also a completely different approach to life.
Global and European trends welcome a reassessment of values, a shift in emphasis and a rethinking of the concept of “luxury”. According to trendsetters, with the high pace and transience of modern life, the interior should emphasize the value of the moment “here and now”, and not “back to the past”.
This is precisely what is reflected in the European style: it does not have the features of pomposity and monumentality. On the contrary, it contributes to the organization of living and most useful housing.
Interior decoration: simple at first glance
The standard finishing technique in European design is plastering the walls followed by painting.
Any defect during plastering work will become clearly visible after painting, especially when the electric light is turned on. Therefore, the quality of plastering should be checked very carefully. A construction lantern can come to the rescue: when the lighting angle changes, its beam will highlight all the imperfections.
Parquet, parquet boards, and laminate are used as floor finishing materials for the main space. In auxiliary rooms (bathroom, laundry room, pantry), ceramic tiles, porcelain stoneware, and natural stone that are more suitable in terms of characteristics are used.
Decorating the walls of rooms with high humidity involves the use of tiles, painting with moisture-resistant paints, or a combination of these materials (places with splashes of water near the bathroom, washbasin, shower compartment walls are tiled, the rest of the space is painted).
Evening look ideas
Evening dress personifies femininity, aristocracy, and grace. French women have succeeded in this field, allowing themselves to be seductive, but not vulgar. There are moderately tight dresses that outline the figure, but lack deep necklines and cutouts. Dresses with a high waist and a full skirt are considered trendy, adding intrigue and playfulness to the outfit at the same time. A dramatic and romantic look is achieved with the help of high gloves, French berets and small clutches.
The evening dresses of Italian women exude unsurpassed expression. Rich intense colors, fitted outlines, noble fabrics perfectly highlight the figure, leaving room for imagination. For example, a mid-calf-length silk slip dress with thin straps and a slightly loose fit evokes the mood of light flirtation, while expressing a fiery temperament.
Long dresses of the Greek style, godet, dresses with pleated skirts, empire style, trapeze dresses, models with full skirts are considered characteristic of the European style. Models without straps or on one shoulder in deep colors look impressive.
European-style furniture: the main criterion is convenience
When creating a European interior, it is necessary to combine different pieces of furniture, since the use of full-fledged sets is not encouraged. But careful selection of furniture can create the effect of a lived-in, cozy space.
A distinctive feature of the furniture filling the house is convenience. This is the most important criterion followed when choosing. Sofas, tables, chairs should not only decorate the room, fit into the designed color scheme, but also create an atmosphere of complete comfort. That’s why it’s so important not to just stop at the picture you like in the catalogue, but to physically test how comfortable it is to sit on chairs, whether it’s easy to get up from a low sofa, whether your body feels relaxed on the couch.
An almost obligatory accent is the presence of chairs on legs in the rooms. These can be either options with high quilted backs, curved armrests, or more modern, linear or rounded shapes.
Placement of accents
A restrained color scheme visually expands the room and makes it more spacious. But, despite the laconicism of the European interior, it can be made bright and original. To do this, various color accents are used to highlight certain areas and divert attention from those parts of the room that you would like to hide from prying eyes.

You should not place a lot of small decorations in spacious rooms. It is better to give preference to several large details, for example, a vase or a flower in a large pot. This will highlight the area of the room.
Bright accents can create a special mood in the room. For this, any furnishings can be used, from furniture to an unusual decoration of one of the surfaces in the room. The only important rule that designers adhere to is to comply with the measure.
As bright accents, you can choose a colorful wall panel in combination with sofa cushions made in the same style. Fresh flowers or unusual vases will look no less interesting in the interior. In any case, when choosing parts, you should be guided by your own preferences. After all, bright elements are not only the finishing touch of the design, which will allow you to get a single harmonious picture, but also an expression of the taste and status of the owner of the house.

Those who want to emphasize the warm colors of the finish are recommended to do this using “cool” tones. Sometimes it is enough to add only one large decorative element to the decor to achieve the desired result. This could be a sofa or chair of an unusual shape with bright upholstery, an original lamp, etc.
Sometimes, in order to make a bright accent, it is enough to change the curtains to brighter ones. Blinds look harmonious in European interiors. However, you can hang light tulle of a bright color on top, which will bring freshness and originality to the interior.
Thoughtful lighting: we include different scenarios
The use of several groups of lamps allows you to demonstrate in the European style the entire necessary light range: daytime, evening, ceremonial, work lighting. Sometimes linear lighting is designed behind the ceiling cornices, but much more often light points are used:
- top chandelier;
- sconces that accent certain areas of the room;
- floor lamps for reading, creating the necessary lighting intensity near sofa groups or armchairs;
- table lamps with large lampshades.
Decorative lampshades of lighting fixtures are themselves elements of decoration. They create a soft, subdued light that echoes the glow of a live fire in the fireplace, making the atmosphere of the room more comfortable. Fireplace lighting in the evening, when all other light sources are extinguished, gives a fluctuating glow of reddish shades, adding mystery to the interior. At this moment, the reflection of the flames from the metal accessories of the room becomes especially interesting. The placement of a fireplace in the bedroom is extremely effective; thanks to the warmth and soft light, the private space turns into even more private.
Origin of the style
Contemporary (“modern” in English) dates back to the 20th century and was born on the principles of the minimalist style and the description of constructivism. Small city apartments were decorated practically and modestly, both antique and factory furniture were used, and decorative items were combined, both modern and classic.
Eclecticism continues in post-war apartments; factory-made and affordable furniture is used, which organizes the space and allows you to store a large number of things (slides and walls).
The photo shows a bright children's interior with a play area and a chalk board to develop the child's creative abilities.
Contemporary is still popular today, it combines practical furniture with rare interior items; the style will remain popular in the future due to its flexibility and ability to apply modifications based on the current reality.
Interior accessories and architectural details
European-style decor includes:
- paintings (possibly single or symmetrical arrangement of objects);
- lamps, floor lamps with volumetric shades;
- floor and table vases with fresh flowers, indoor plants or wood installations;
- decorative pillows (a comfortable component of armchairs and sofa groups).
In the project, special attention should be paid to the following points:
- Door dimensions: it is desirable to manufacture custom-made elongated doors or double swing doors;
- High plinths with profiling: the size range fits into the range of 10-25 cm, tied to the overall height of the room (the higher the ceiling is raised, the wider the plinth is selected);
- Elongated window openings: often framed with figured platbands, which presents the landscape outside the window as a picture in a frame;
- The length of the curtains: soft folds (the fabric even lies on the floor) additionally emphasize the height of the room.
The classic European style uses ceiling cornices that echo the baseboards. The modern direction allows the junction of the ceiling and walls without additional design, the main thing is that it is executed perfectly.
The main features of the French style in interior design
Each interior decor implies the presence of details and elements that are unique to this style. On the Internet you can find a lot of photo and video materials with original options for decorating a kitchen in the French style. Despite the fact that they may differ greatly from each other, their main features will remain unchanged.
A muted color palette is one of the foundations of the French style in the kitchen interior
Smooth curved lines fill the kitchen with lightness
French style involves the maximum use of natural materials
What is characteristic of the style of this sensual and romantic country? In general, the French interior is characterized by:
Muted color palette. Only pastel colors are used in interior design. The most common are almost all shades of white, soft coffee tones, as well as light green and pastel blue shades. Even the colors used as contrast are made in a muted pastel palette.
For French decor, use pastel colors: beige, white, light yellow
- Smooth lines. A French-style kitchen is the epitome of elegance, so furniture and accessories with soft, smooth curves are chosen to decorate it.
- Natural materials. When decorating the kitchen, it is advisable to use natural finishing materials: wood, stone, tiles or their very high-quality modern imitation.
If finishing from natural materials is not available, use high-quality imitation
- Unity of walls and ceiling. The design of the walls and ceiling of the kitchen should not differ much in color and texture. Ideally, they should form a harmonious ensemble with each other.
- Light draperies. The use of natural light fabrics for curtains, tablecloths and furniture upholstery is one of the most important conditions for achieving the French style. Light, flowing draperies made of silk and linen are welcome in window decoration.
The color of the walls, ceiling and floor should be harmoniously combined with each other
By using a light palette you can visually expand the space
In general, the French style of cuisine can be divided into several areas:
Palace style. A refined interior, best suited for old-style houses or large mansions. It combines high ceilings, natural wood, huge windows and an abundance of expensive decor.
Palace interior - an option for lovers of exquisite luxury
French cafe. A very original interior option, perfect for rooms with a small area, as it allows for the most functional use of space.
The simplicity of the “French cafe” style can decorate a small kitchen
Provence. Perfect for both interior design of country houses and small apartments.
Provence will help recreate the atmosphere of a country house in France
Don’t forget that when choosing a specific kitchen interior design, you need to harmoniously combine it with the design of other rooms in the house. For example, if you choose a palace interior for a French-style kitchen, then the hallway and living room are decorated accordingly.
European living room: warm classic, created for communication
The living room, as the main room in the house, more than other rooms meets the principles of European style design. It is not painted with age-appropriate details like a child’s room, it does not carry notes of intimacy like a bedroom, and it should not be practical to clean like a bathroom. But it is in this room that the purity of style is manifested: decoration, furniture, and accessories are selected very precisely. The result is a bright, open space that offers the occupants of the home maximum comfort.
In the center of the living room there is a coffee table, which is surrounded on three sides by sofa groups, armchairs, and side ottomans. The fourth side is given to the dominant vertical element: a fireplace, television equipment, a collection of paintings, i.e. visual accent of the entire composition. Upholstered furniture stands freely relative to walls and windows, providing a person with unhindered movement. The arrangement of the seats is often diagonal.
Decor elements
The main design rule is to observe minimalism and restraint, elegance and discreetness.
Overloading rooms with numerous decorative elements is not necessary or even appropriate.
To decorate a room, you can use ordinary items: stands, lamps, holders, paintings, etc.
Elegant bedroom for complete relaxation
European style is great for creating a relaxed, relaxing space, which is the bedroom. All design techniques are appropriate here:
- calm colors;
- parquet flooring;
- voluminous quilted upholstery of the headboard, armchairs, bedside bench, toilet ottoman;
- a handmade rug highlighting the center of the room;
- furniture made of wood of noble shapes;
- silk lampshades giving a subdued romantic light.
Inside the bedroom, nothing should interfere with proper rest, so decorative accents (mirrors, vases, framed photographs) are used in doses.
Zoning of premises
Despite the fact that minimalism in the interior is characterized by zoning of rooms, some spaces may well be multifunctional. For example, a minimalist living room can be combined with a bedroom.
Of course, this requires properly selected multifunctional furniture. By decorating the space with the right objects and being guided by the basic principles of minimalism, you can ensure that the room can match the atmosphere of the living room at one time and provide healthy rest and sleep at another.
Thus, modern minimalism in the interior is a unique style in which there is nothing superfluous, only the necessary details are used, which, in turn, play a significant role in the overall picture of the space. A minimalist interior should not be divorced from the world, it combines with it, smoothly flows into it.
Color solutions are usually based on contrast. But different shades and tones of the same color can be used. Bright spaces, smooth, clear lines, a minimum of details are a good solution. That is why more and more people are choosing the minimalist style, because it combines uniqueness, reliability and functionality.
Elements of classics in the kitchen space: cooking and eating in a European way
European style implies a large kitchen space. It could be
- separate spacious kitchen;
- combined kitchen-dining room;
- kitchen combined with living room.
The latter option will allow you to create a European-style interior in a studio or one-room apartment, where the walls between different rooms have been demolished.
If the kitchen area is very small (appendix), but adjacent to a voluminous dining room, then you can abandon the design of the kitchen in the general context, using a more laconic design. It will be possible to do justice to the chosen interior direction by creating the image of a place for family meals.
European style of cuisine is emphasized by:
- dining group, where half-chairs are used instead of hard chairs;
- kitchen set in discreet colors with paneled or flat facades;
- Roman blinds, matched to the tone of the furniture upholstery;
- a full chandelier placed above the dining table.
Character traits
A conversation about the European style in the design of apartments and other dwellings should begin with the fact that it is very flexible. This design format has undergone a significant transformation over the past decades; any of its variations can be taken as a basis. There are no strict requirements, for example, regarding the amount of decor used.
And yet there are typical features of modern European-style cottage projects that are implemented in most cases, namely:
- open plan layout (up to and including studio apartments);
- maximum expansion of space - both visual and technical means (including through the installation of large panoramic windows);
- the opposite trend that has emerged in recent years is a rollback towards greater privacy and enclosed space;
- increased comfort (again, customizable to individual requirements);
- minimalistic design;
- restraint and composure (refusal to flashy colors);
- lightness and freshness filling the space.
But we must understand that it is impossible to characterize the interior in isolation from the appearance of the home and its structure, because they are absolutely clearly connected, purely logically. A European-style private country house is usually created from wooden materials. They are practical, environmentally friendly, and provide a comfortable indoor environment. For the most part, one-story buildings with a flat roof are used - the race of pathos, which forced the construction of two-story and three-story houses, does not fit into the European style, and modern technologies make it possible to ensure reliable operation of a flat roof in all weather conditions.
Within the limits of what has been described, you can even undertake rather radical experiments. But in any case, the design must be carefully thought out - otherwise this is no longer a European approach. It is quite possible to take Spanish or French, German or Northern European, Italian or even Balkan flavor as a basis.
It is worth paying attention to the following characteristic points:
combining kitchens with dining rooms, dining rooms with living rooms, halls with living rooms; visual zoning of the interior; clear functionality of all items; using only environmentally friendly solutions; the critical importance of proper lighting.
A bathroom you don't want to leave
A European-style bathroom is not a utilitarian room with a limited amount of decor, the finishing of which requires a minimum of funds. This is a corner of relaxation full of soft warmth. A voluminous bathroom allows you to plan the placement of an ensemble of a ceiling chandelier and matching sconces near the mirror, and a light floor covering expands the boundaries of the room. Wall decoration is possible according to the “top-bottom” principle - a combination of laying wall tiles and painting. Against such a background, plumbing fixtures with discreet, streamlined configurations look more advantageous. The junction of different finishing wall materials is decorated with a figured tiled frieze. An interesting technique is to paint vertical surfaces with a color different from the main tone of the tiles, which makes the bathroom less conservative.
Photos in the interior of the rooms
Kitchen
In a modern house, a contemporary kitchen is most often combined with a living room or corridor; in the interior of a kitchen in an apartment, preference is also given to combining rooms or minimal load of furniture.
They use a bar counter, an island set, and zoning using a multi-level ceiling and flooring. Household appliances are built-in or have a simple form. Country eclecticism with classics or minimalism is characteristic of contemporary style.
The photo shows a contemporary-style kitchen with additional lighting above the work surface and a 3D apron. The light palette is combined with a black accent color.
Living room
In a contemporary style living room, the most simple and functional furniture is selected, the lines are horizontal and there is no ostentatious luxury. Glass, plastic, metal and decorative stone are used for finishing. Against a background of neutral colors, there is always a color accent in paintings or furniture. In a large room, furniture is arranged in groups to preserve empty space.
Bedroom
A contemporary style bedroom combines two neutral or monochrome colors according to the principle of horizontal alternation, for example, the ceiling and floor are white and the walls are gray. The accent is a modern, bright wardrobe or wardrobe with glass panels.
The photo shows a gray-beige contemporary bedroom with bamboo trim on the accent wall. The absence of bedside tables accompanying the bedroom creates the effect of spaciousness.
Children's
In a contemporary-style nursery, natural materials and practical use of space play an important role, which is helped by a convenient toy storage system. The walls are painted using bright patterns, stencils and wall stickers.
Hallway
The contemporary hallway has additional LED lighting or spotlights. Light colors of paint, false brick or decorative stone are used for the walls. From furniture you can install a wardrobe, a small bench. It is better to limit yourself to a few paintings as accessories.
The photo shows a contemporary corridor in neutral colors with an emphasis on voluminous lampshades, additional lighting and a combination of gloss and matte surfaces.
Bathroom
In a contemporary style, the bathroom is planned with maximum creation of empty space. Compact installations and showers are used, plumbing fixtures occupy the corners, and the washing machine is tucked into a niche or under the table. All communications are hidden under moisture-resistant panels. Most often, light shades are chosen for a contemporary bath.
Children's room: combining age and style
The difficulty of designing a space for small family members in a European style is that the age characteristics of children mean a bright room for games, and the chosen design means calm and comfort. Therefore, it is better to use only individual style elements:
- Calm colors of finishing materials;
- The flooring is lighter than the floor of the main home space;
- Wide baseboards;
- A combination of traditional and Roman blinds in brighter shades;
- Dressers with legs.
If the children's room is intended for teenagers, then furnishings “like those of adults” (a mirror in a baguette frame, a desk, glazed shelving, an armchair with a quilted back) will make a busy life measured and help balance the outburst of energy.
Furniture
In the design of London, Berlin and Paris apartments, the emphasis is not on national characteristics, but on comfort, which is not least determined by the choice of furniture. European interior design is characterized by a careful choice of furniture, allowing you to get a lived-in, comfortable space. When evaluating items, take into account the following rules:
The use of sets (sets of objects) is a thing of the past; The art of combining different items is valued.

The desire to get maximum free space also affects furniture. In the European style, they try to limit the number of items as much as possible. The furniture selected is light, mobile and transformable. This gives the owners the opportunity to rearrange and refresh the atmosphere at any time.

An exquisitely shaped sofa with curved legs is a thing for a classic living room. A European-style room requires laconic furniture of simple shapes and without excessive decorations, typical, for example, of Asian sofas and tables. Upholstered furniture can be asymmetrical, but it also requires restraint in color and decoration.

The sophistication of the European style is based on the desire for brevity. The most necessary items are selected for the living room; they can be complemented with exclusive items from famous designers.

Old story in a new reading
Having given preference to European design, after the renovation the apartment owner will not have the use of mossy classics, but a fresh look at traditional things. A voluminous, bright room conducive to relaxation can become a magnet, thanks to which all family members strive to get home as soon as possible after a working day. An apartment, decorated in the chosen style, is ready to hospitably open its doors to welcome visitors and envelop those who live inside its walls in a cloud of calm comfort.
Style furniture
The main feature of retro furniture items is their unusual shape. An armchair in the shape of a luxurious flower bud, chest-shaped coffee tables or chair backs in the shape of treble clefs – ideas can be the most creative. The material of the furniture does not play a significant role and fades into the background.
Antique furniture inherited from grandparents is an excellent addition to the themed interior of the apartment. To make it comfortable to be in such an environment, it is enough to slightly refine the problem areas (sanding, painting, varnishing) of certain pieces of furniture. Sandpaper will help create a traditional retro style scuffed effect on a dried painted surface. Another popular option for decorating furniture is applying various prints using a stencil. Retro style is characterized by images of flowers, fruits, vegetables, geometric shapes and stripes.
Furniture in a retro apartment should be bulky, angular, pretentious and not very tall. All components of the room’s interior should be striking and arouse interest.
Furniture for the recreation area can be very diverse. It is not at all necessary to select the same types of sofas, armchairs and chairs, because a retro apartment is more reminiscent of a creative workshop, where chaos and permissiveness reign. This is a small museum where the most incredible things are collected, which are absolutely incompatible with each other, from the point of view of a conservative person. The only common feature of retro furniture is the presence of wooden or chrome legs.
Kitchen-living room
The white kitchen-living room in a one-room apartment is designed in the form of a studio, combining areas for cooking and relaxation. The snow-white room is harmoniously complemented by accents of black and white furniture, accessories, lamps, and wall decor. Even the picture has a contrasting content and at the same time carries a particle of natural freshness.
The simplicity and clarity of the minimalist character of the interior is emphasized by the smooth lines of Roman blinds. Each item is thought out and has a functional purpose. Zoning into a work area and a relaxation area occurs with the help of furniture and decorative painting of the walls.
Thanks to the skillful division of space into zones, a separate living room and bedroom were created in a one-room apartment. Despite the asceticism of the design, the kitchen gives the impression of a comfortable and convenient room, and the upholstered furniture will allow you to spend any amount of time in front of a modern large TV.
Snow-white bedroom
The lounge room continues the chosen finishing style. White walls and black pieces of furniture are complemented by gray interior items. In the course of a thoughtful layout, there was room in a small room for a comfortable double bed and a desk with a computer.
Open shelves and Roman blinds do not clutter up the space, and the glossy finish in the headboard visually pushes back the wall. The room, filled with sun, shines, seems spacious and cozy. A small partition takes up very little space, but protects the person resting in bed from the light falling from the work desk.
