Interior decoration

Interior decoration is the choice and placement in the interior of various decor items, accessories. At first glance it may seem that it is easy, but in fact need a lot of knowledge and a subtle flairto pick up all the decorative objects correctly and place them strictly in their places in the interior.

How to start decorating an interior? Best start with a breakdown of this task into several stages: the preparatory stage, the stage of choice and purchase, andalso the stage of arranging the selected objects of decor in the interior. Each stage should be given maximum strength and attention, without letting even the slightest detail out of sight.

Preparatory stage is a thorough reflection of the ideadecorating the interior. In which style do you decorate? Should it be lush or, conversely, minimalistic? What are the preferred colors of the decor? These and similar questions should be asked yourself and try to answer them as precisely as possible.

During the preparatory phase, you should carefully consider to study the assortment presented in shops and salons decoration items and accessories. This can take a lot of time, but you do not need to regret it. Having spent time thinking over your choice, you can avoid the common mistake of "self-made" people who buy the first accessories that came to their eyes, and then do not know how to "fit" them into an already existing idea.

You can start the stage of choosing items of decor and accessories with selection of chandeliers, table and wall lamps, floor lamps, as well as other lighting devices. And here it is important not only decorative, but also a functional component: to choose lighting devices so that they can provide the required level of illumination in the room. For example, for a small room in which, besides, there is only one small window, a chandelier with a dark large lampshade may not come up: such a chandelier will give the room more gloominess and visually reduce its already tiny dimensions.

The next stage in the independent decoration of the interior is selection of curtains, curtains, curtains or blinds. The rules here are quite simple: curtains or curtains are selected from light and light fabrics for small rooms or from dense and dark ones for large-sized ones. In this case, the type of textiles for window decor is chosen in accordance with the existing style of interior design: the pompous splendor of the imperial curtains will not be appropriate in high-tech or country-style, but such curtains will look beautiful in an interior in the Baroque style.

Behind choice of tablecloths, bed linen, bedspreads and decorative pillows The next step in decorating is. The rules here are also very simple: for an interior with a calm color scheme, it is better to choose bright textiles with an interesting texture, and to a colorful interior you can choose pastel color textiles without complex textures. The amount of textile decor is chosen individually: it is equally bad and when the room literally "bursts" from dozens of pillows, and when it seemed as if one single table-cloth had been accidentally lost.

In the decoration of the interior at the final stages choose paintings or reproductions, sculptures, vases, watches and other accessories. In this case, you can build on existing items in the house, for example, brought from travel, or you can specifically purchase several accessories that are suitable for the general style of the interior.

Very much in interior decoration decides competent arrangement the entire chosen arsenal of decorative objects,because if you just thinklessly put everything on shelves, tables or chests of drawers, then no beauty and harmony will come out. Ideas come from fashion magazines or the Internet, advice from professional interior designers and decorators can come in handy.

Someone may think that thinking a long timeover where and what to put a figurine or at what height to hang a photograph on the wall - it's boring and tedious.
