Features of style, color scale
The main differences of ecostyle:
- muted shades of natural colors;
- a large amount of air and light;
- soft outlines of objects and lines;
- natural materials for furniture and decoration;
- limited amount of decor.
When choosing color solutions, preference is given to natural tones. It is appropriate to use the entire palette of bluish, white, creamy, sand, beige colors. In small areas of the room you can also apply soft shades of gray, black and brownish. Be sure to resort to green in all its manifestations: dim semitones of olive, lettuce, pistachio, mint, citrus, mustard. These are the colors of nature itself: grass and leaves, sky and clear water, the vast ocean and earth. Neon, acidic shades look artificial and are not suitable for ecostyle. They are rarely found in nature, unnecessarily excite the nervous system and do not help to relax.
Materials are subject to special requirements. Most often they are made from natural raw materials: stone or wood. Additionally resort to wicker rattan or vine products.In cheaper options for interiors, imitation of natural materials is used.
No multilevel devices and tension structures. Walls and ceilings are most often painted. Choose soft, natural shades. It is good to cover the surface with plaster or finish with wooden panels. An interesting solution is a cork wall. Surfaces from this lightweight material with high thermal conductivity will cost more. But they look stylish and emphasize the natural look of the room. Gluing walls with paper wallpaper is also not prohibited. Choose plain, with an unobtrusive floral or floral pattern. You can use wallpaper for painting.
For floors, natural wood is suitable - cork or parquet. It is better to abandon the shiny laminate. You can lay ceramic tiles or make a surface of stone. The main condition is the correct texture. It should resemble a tree or other elements of nature, have a muted shade and be practical. The masonry made of natural stone and brick surfaces will look organically.
Ecostyle in the interior of the apartment
You can create a truly ecological space if you follow the principle of minimalism. Avoid unnecessary parts and unnecessary items. All things are not only used as decorations, but also perform practical functions. The horns on the wall are a small hanger, and the wicker basket is a place to store magazines or newspapers. Self-woven rugs on the stone floor will make up not only the original element of the decor, but also an excellent “insulation”. Seashells and beautiful pebbles brought from the sea will decorate the shelf in the bathroom, and correctly laid river pebbles will turn into an exclusive panel.
Living greens are a suitable option for an ecological interior. It perfectly animates, makes the image of the room complete. The situation is not overloaded with plants. Depending on the size of the room, there are quite 1-2 large indoor flowers in clay or wooden flowerpots. If the pots with greens are small, then you can create a stylish composition from several similar plants.
It is better to refuse plastic windows and doors. They are replaced with wooden ones. With a more modest budget, you can install windows made of artificial material, simulating the surface of a tree. It is appropriate to exchange curtains for roller blinds or roman blinds, bamboo blinds.
Ecological style kitchen interior
They use simple shapes and a natural finish reminiscent of country style. An important difference is that in eco-style it is inappropriate to use small decorative elements, various lush decorations in the form of frills on the curtain or decorative pillows. To resort only to a natural tree for finishing the kitchen in eco-style is unlikely to succeed. It will look boring, monotonous and rude.
Therefore:
- the apron of the working surface can be decorated with glass decorative panels using photo printing;
- fittings can be used and plastic. The main thing is that it should be of an unobtrusive color and suitable texture;
- natural or artificial stone is taken for the working surface.
Fresh greens in porcelain dishes on the windowsill, stylish plain white dishes, original rattan wicker stools - the room must have its own zest.
Living room design
Living room - a common room, which should be comfortable for all households and guests.
- A suitable element here may be a fireplace. Preferably real, lined with refractory stone. With fire, beautifully laid firewood and wrought iron grates. If this is not possible, then it is appropriate to use a cheaper option - an imitation of the hearth.
- Furniture is selected depending on the size of the room. If the living area is large, they place voluminous, impressive dimensions soft corners or sofas. For rooms of modest quadrature, more compact options are suitable.The main thing is to use restrained colors and choose a natural fabric with an unobtrusive structure.
- Living world or an aquarium can represent the world of nature in the living room. Indoor flowers are placed so that they do not interfere with movement around the house and receive a sufficient amount of sunlight. The aquarium will organically fit into the atmosphere. It is better to make it the central figure of the room. Wildlife in the house requires additional care, because turbid liquid in a miniature pond or a dried flower on the windowsill can spoil the whole positive impression of an eco-home.
With the help of a fireplace, an aquarium or a large plant in a tub, you can divide a spacious living room into zones. Significant elements of the atmosphere will make the look unique. For example, decorative wooden beams on a bleached ceiling.
To give home comfort will help carpet. Better plain, for example, greenish, brown or sand. You can lay on the floor an original rug made of natural fibers that mimic young green grass.
How to create a cozy atmosphere in the bedroom
A bed made of wood is the main attribute of a bedroom. It will be more comfortable if it has soft natural upholstery. You can use the forged bed, but in this case, creating an organic eco-style is somewhat more difficult. The windows in the bedroom are covered with light curtains made of cotton. The design of the curtains should be simple so as not to burden the room. A fleecy woolen rug is a good fit on the floor to create an intimate atmosphere.
Application in the design of a country house
Far from the bustle of the city, completely immersed in nature is especially nice. In a country house, you can use the ecological style in the interior on a grand scale. Here, the guides to the natural world will be huge panoramic window openings. It is pleasant to sit in a rattan chair and watch the birds sitting on the branches in the garden, the snow slowly falling, or the first tulips blooming.
High ceilings of the room fill it with light and air. The fireplace can occupy the central composition of a country house with a modern design. Here it is worth placing a cozy hearth with live fire, and next to it is firewood neatly laid in a simple woodpile.
Natural home decor outside the city can be found literally under your feet, in the yard: cones, immortals for a flower arrangement, colorful autumn leaves. The main thing is to maintain a sense of proportion and not overload the interior with small details. Use shiny and perfectly smooth surfaces as little as possible.
How to choose the right furniture
An ideal option for decorating a room in an ecological style is furniture made of natural wood.
What should it be:
- as natural as possible: simple form, without unnecessary bends;
- relatively massive and even rude;
- with minimal processing, with a noticeable natural structure.
Wicker rattan, bamboo or vine furniture is well suited for eco style. As a coating for upholstered furniture, natural fabrics or leather are used.
Textiles, decor and lighting
Ecostyle in the interior of the apartment suggests that there should be a lot of light in the room. Tall and wide windows make the room bigger and fill it with air. In addition to natural light, additional illumination is needed for the dark. Install daylight lamps that resemble the sun as much as possible. It is fashionable and good for vision.
Lamps use two types:
- Embedded. Select inconspicuous, but quite powerful devices. Suitable spot halogen lighting.
- Decorative. Their task is to become part of the interior. Depending on the characteristics of the room, the lamps as ornaments are made of matter, paper, wood, vines. Bulky chandeliers, fixtures with pendants will not work. You can choose plafonds in the form of simple geometric shapes: cylinder, ball, cube, cone.
Catchy accents are needed, but they should not be bright. In eco-style, they use things that attract attention, but are made from simple and natural materials.You can use glass, paper, ceramics, textiles, leather. For example, a distinctive chandelier made of tree branches and a metal frame can become the highlight of the room. Also suitable is a wooden shelving with living plants or an original ikebana, animal horns or a branch of a good shape.
For the design of window openings or decorations using textiles. Fabrics are natural, with a pronounced texture. Flax, jute, fine wool, pure cotton, leather are quite suitable for the manufacture of interior items and curtains.
The main task of the ecological style in the interior is to help calm down and relieve stress, to set the person on a calm and pleasant holiday. Proper design of the room will achieve the desired result.
