Тенденції кольору 2024-го року

Відкриємо для тебе трохи таємниць про трендові кольори та візерунки 2024 р.
Дизайн інтер’єру — це мистецтво, яке постійно змінюється, адаптується до нових трендів, технологій та смаків. Те, що було актуальним вчора може застаріти вже завтра. Дизайнери та власники помешкань мають бути готові до змін. Але не варто забувати й про комфорт, адже, де гарно і зручно — там хочеться жити. 
Кольори в інтер’єрі мають величезний потенціал та вплив на наш емоційний стан. Тому варто враховувати не лише особисті вподобання, а й функціональність та призначення.
Для спальні та зони відпочинку краще обирати спокійні, приглушені кольори. Тоді, як для робочого простору будуть корисні яскраві відтінки.

Найпопулярніші кольори 2024-го за версією Pantone. 

Серед них є базові та акцентні.

Розпочнемо з базових:

1. Діамантово-білий (чистий білий).  Можна використати, як основний для стін, меблів та аксесуарів, аби створити відчуття простору та чистоти. Чудово поєднується з іншими кольорами та підкреслює контраст.
2. Гриб (суміш сірого та коричневого). Підійде, для меблів чи покриття підлоги, аби створити теплу природну атмосферу. Комбінується з нейтральними кольорами для сучасного та спокійного вигляду.
3. Північна крапля (дощовий сірий). Ідеально виглядає на текстильних виробах: ковдрах, подушках, шторах та додає кольорові акценти в приміщення. Підходить для декору спальні або вітальні.
4. Тиха ніч (згущений сірий). Цей колір передає строгі солідні візуальні враження. Але в комбінації з м’яким джерелом світла подарує надзвичайно стильну атмосферу для відпочинку та релаксу.
5. Пензлик (природній бежевий з теплим підтоном). Приглушений, універсальний та підходить для різних стилів. Застосовуйте для меблів та текстилю, це додасть трохи творчості та оригінальності вашому інтер’єру. 

Peach Fuzz Panton 2024

Ми завжди з увагою підходимо до вибору палітри для приміщень, особливо, якщо це стосується акцентних відтінків.
Подивімось, що ж говорить Panton про головний колір року — Peach Fuzz (персиковий пушок).
«Трохи чуттєвий, щирий, персиковий відтінок з дотиком ніжності та доброти»
Цей відтінок має ніжну, спокусливу палітру. Відображає гармонію з природою, що є особливо важливим у сучасних приміщення, які стрімко переходять до екологічності та свідомості. 
Ось декілька цікавих варіантів:

• Персикові тони мають здатність створювати атмосферу тепла, додають ніжності та витонченості до інтер’єру.
• Такі відтінки візуально збільшують простір і роблять його світлішим, особливо ті приміщення, де не вистачає природного світла.
• Персикова палітра відома своєю елегантністю та шармом. Вона може додати розкішного вигляду до будь-якого інтер’єру, особливо у поєднанні з металевими акцентами чи меблями.
• Використання цього кольору є досить нестандартним і стильним рішенням, що дозволяє вийти за межі загальновживаних кольорових схем.

Загалом, персикові відтінки будуть чудовим вибором для тих хто шукає теплий елегантний колір для свого інтер’єру.

Гра з візерунками

У 2024 р. дизайн переживає справжню революцію злиття традицій та сучасності.
Розгляньмо, які тенденції та мотиви рухають наше сприйняття інтер’єрів цього року.

1. Етнічні мотиви.

Етнічні орнаменти та візерунки набирають популярності. Оскільки відображають культурну спадщину та індивідуальний стиль. Їх використовують, як декоративні елементи на стінах, меблях або текстильних виробах.

2. Екологічні візерунки.

У світі насиченому технологіями, ми все частіше шукаємо природність у дизайні. Орнаменти, які імітують природні візерунки або натуральні матеріали стають дуже популярними. Від стін прекрасних дерев’яними панелями до текстильних виробів. Весь інтер’єр оживає природним шармом.

3. Мінімалізм та графіка.

Мінімалізм продовжує залишатися популярним, але з новим підходом до використання графічних елементів. У 2024-му році інтерес до геометричних форм, абстракції та графічних патентів значно зріс. Ці елементи додають динаміки та сучасності.

4. Цифрова естетика.

Можна помітити появу віртуальних візерунків та орнаментів, що створюють унікальний кіберпростір у наших приміщень. Від анімованих узорів до інтерактивних композицій.

 

Візерунки та орнаменти стають засобом вираження індивідуального стилю та смаку.

Та якими б не були тренди дизайну, обирайте те, що вам до душі. Адже найважливіше, аби інтер’єр приносив радість.

1. Ефективне спілкування та комунікація

2. Інтеграція рішень. Забезпечення якості та гарантій

Як мрію про затишне та комфортне житло втілити в реальність
Здавалося б, в чому проблема? Адже сучасний ринок пропонує 1000 і 1 пропозицію дизайн студій чи ремонтних бригад.

Ефективне спілкування та комунікація 

Та часто саме тут і починаються проблеми. Адже дизайнер, керуючись ергономічними нормами та потребами клієнта, створює максимально комфортний та затишний простір для життя, роботи та відпочинку. Бригада майстрів, спираючись на його напрацювання, втілює задум в життя. Проте, якщо фахівці не співпрацюють між собою та не мають навичок синхронної роботи, навряд чи вийде хороший результат.

Є два варіанти вирішення цієї проблеми:

• Брати на себе всю відповідальність за результат. А отже, постійно контролювати, вносити правки, звіряти кожен етап та прогнозувати результат кожної дії.

• Замовити дизайн інтерєру та ремонт в однієї фірми й звільнити час та простір для важливішого.

Спеціалісти NVB Architects-Studio готові втілити вашу мрію в життя, починаючи від створення дизайн проекту до ремонту під ключ.

Інтеграція рішень. Забезпечення якості та гарантій

4 аргументи, які переконають вас замовити комплексні послуги в однієї фірми:

• Співпрацюючи з однією організацією ви скидаєте з себе вантаж відповідальності за кожен етап роботи. NVB Architects-Studio контролює все: від проектування та створення дизайну приміщення до закупівлі матеріалів та їх доставки. Також ми гарантуємо вигідні ціни на матеріали, адже клієнти, які обрали нас, мають привілей скористатися нашими особистими знижками в магазинах.

• У дизайн студії працюють лише перевірені майстри з багаторічним досвідом роботи. Ми чітко дотримуємось оговорених термінів та умов виконання замовлення. Сміливо можете запрошувати гостей на новосілля та планувати святкування нового життя в новій квартирі, адже все буде чітко по графіку.

• Обравши одну команду для роботи над проектом, ви отримаєте реалізацію того задуму, який зобразив дизайнер. В іншому випадку — у майстрів не завжди є технічні можливості втілити наші проекти в життя. Як наслідок, багато стресу, пошуку нових підрядників та відтягнення фінішу ремонту.

• Чудовий сервіс та можливість втілити в життя найсміливіші ідеї — це лише частина плюсів, які ви отримаєте разом з NVB Architects-Studio. І якщо вам здається, що обравши окремо дизайнера та майстрів по ремонту ви зекономите, спішимо вас розчарувати. Часом доводиться не тільки переплачувати, а ще й перероблювати, щоб отримати бажаний результат.

Плануючи та створюючи інтер’єр, ми враховуємо захоплення, інтереси, побажання усіх, хто буде жити в квартирі чи будинку, бо розуміємо наскільки важливими для вас та ваших близьких є затишок та комфорт в оселі.

Обирайте у перевірених, надійних, досвідчених та приймайте рішення зважено😉

With us, you will receive not only a professional approach, but also warmth and understanding, aimed at ensuring that every corner of your space reflects your ideas and desires.

In today's world, it's so hard to keep calm and achieve harmony, isn't it? But it's definitely possible if you focus on the important things and see the benefits of simplification/simplicity.

Here are some stories that will convince you 100%.

Elon Musk is the founder of Tesla and SpaceX. His vision of simplicity and efficiency is revolutionizing transportation and space exploration.

Marie Kondo is a world-renowned expert on organizing and simplifying life. Her approach to keeping only the things that really bring you joy has become popular in the world of minimalism and naturalness.

If you also feel that you lack space, we recommend starting with your own home. For example, change the interior in favor of the modern minimalist style, which NVB Architects-studio designers use most often.

 

Features of minimalism in design projects by NVB studio

 

• Preference for clean, simple shapes and geometric lines, without unnecessary decor and complex patterns.
• Monochrome palette and a limited number of colors, usually shades of white, black, gray and beige.
• Keeping about 65% of the space free of things.
• We use furniture that not only fits in aesthetically, but also has clear functionality, without unnecessary details.
• Windows and lighting play a key role. We use natural light as much as possible, and create an atmosphere with artificial light.
• We prefer natural materials such as wood, glass, and metal to create texture and focus on their quality.
• We are guided by the principle "less is more". We choose small accents of art or decor that harmoniously complement the space without overwhelming the overall atmosphere.
• We create a harmonious interior design through the arrangement of furniture. We do this with the help of clear horizontal and vertical lines.

 

 

Minimalism is not only an aesthetic in design and architecture, but also a philosophy of life that helps to achieve harmony, get rid of excess, and find an inner source of energy.

Designing the perfect home is always a creative collaboration between clients and NVB designers. Our studio will realize your unique wishes step by step, creating a space where you will feel as comfortable and happy as possible.

Okay, Google, please tell us, what is the most common reason for poor results and disappointment from apartment or house renovation?

In short, it's people's desire to save money on things that are basic.
We agree with the most famous search engine 100%. However, to make it easier for you to understand, we will expand on this topic. NVB Architects-Studio specialists have been carrying out repairs of varying complexity for many years and know perfectly well which points are key and should definitely not be skimped on.

Here is a selection that will be useful to anyone who is planning a renovation that will bring not only the desired result, but also pleasure from the process:

TOP-5 things you shouldn't save on during renovation:

A team of craftsmen.
When choosing a team that will make your dream come true, pay attention to their experience, successful cases, and feedback from previous customers. All information should be available on the website or social media of the selected company. The cost of services may vary depending on what exactly you need - interior design or reconstruction.

Quality of materials.
In order to make a choice in favor of really high-quality materials and not overpay for the brand, you should seek advice from professionals, read reviews and watch reviews from users.

2. Quality of materials.
   In order to make a choice in favor of really high-quality materials and not overpay for the brand, you should seek advice from professionals, read reviews and watch user reviews.

   Electricity distribution.
   Proper wiring installation during construction or major repairs will save you both nerves and money in the future. It is better to entrust the development of an electrical installation project to specialists in this niche, who will appropriately calculate the load and distribute it among different power lines. In any case, this is not only about your comfort, but also about safety.

   The front door.
   It seems like such a trifle. But it is not. Reliable, high-quality and durable entrance doors will protect apartment owners and their property not only from intruders, but also from dust, cold and external noise. In addition, the door is an important component of the interior of the room.

   Plumbing.
   Among the wide range of products, you should choose the options that suit you in terms of characteristics and design. Choose plumbing fixtures from reliable and trusted manufacturers. Only then will you not have to think about replacing your bathtub, sink, or faucet in the next 10 years.

   Of course, it all depends on your ultimate goal and budget. This also includes furniture, windows, and finishing materials. But we have listed the key points on which you should definitely not save. This does not mean that you have to buy the most expensive things.

The right choice is to contact the NVB Architects-Studio team. After all, each item can be discussed in advance and adjustments made before the start of the repair work.

Our experts focus on competent planning and timely communication. After all, we, like our clients, are interested in a great result.

Looking in the same direction does not mean seeing the same thing.

You know the situation when you buy a service from specialists in different niches to fill a need or fulfill a dream, and they each do a great job in their own way, but the result is not satisfactory.

And imagine if it concerns some large-scale plan/goal. For example, creating your own cozy home that should suit you aesthetically and functionally. This is where it is critical to turn to specialists who will not just look in the same direction, but will see the same thing.

That's why today we're going to talk about the importance of the architect and designer tandem in creating your dream home.

Наші спеціалісти підмітили, що найкрутіші проекти ті, що розпочиналися саме із архітектурного проектування і плавно переходили в дизайн інтер’єру. Результат такої синергії — лаконічні будинки, як ззовні, так і всередині.

Why is it so important to combine architecture and interior design from a construction point of view?
Catch a few arguments from the leading architect of NVB Architects-Studio with 10 years of experience:

You will get the most functional housing that will be designed both from the outside and the inside.
This will speed up the construction process, as a ready-made architectural and interior design project will help you to draw up a schedule of construction and repair work on your project.
You will be able to purchase finishes and materials for exterior and interior work in advance, which will allow builders to work as efficiently as possible.
Having only a plot, you will know what your house will look like inside and out, because at this stage you will receive a building project.
You will have a great incentive to invest in the land plot. You won't have to think about how to design the building. You already have it, but only on paper.
With such a comprehensive project, you can negotiate the terms of its construction with the contractor.
You will get the number of rooms and areas that you need, not the number that the developer sells.
You will avoid purchasing unnecessary materials, as you will receive an accurate calculation of their purchase.

To get all of this and realize your dream of a cozy, beautiful, and comfortable home, we recommend ordering an architectural and design project from one team. A well-coordinated team is better than two specialists who will defend their side individually. Yes, each of them has many strengths.

An interior designer has a sophisticated artistic taste, while an architect is a cool creator of object-spatial volumes of a building who skillfully works with space in terms of mathematical calculation and sense of composition.
A designer sees the final interior and influences the layout in architecture, while an architect sees how the building will interact with the environment, how much light it will receive at a particular time of day, how wind, rain, and snow will affect the building at different times of the year. After all, this has a direct impact on the interior and its mood.
NVB combines the intellectual abilities of specialists in these two areas, which are inseparable in every project.

Contact our team and you will get a great project that will solve all your architectural and interior issues.

This is where the story of your home begins!

Today, many people have moved to work in their homes. Some work at home all day, while others work only for a few hours in the evening. But many employees still complain that it's harder to concentrate on work at home: the couch is tempting to sit on, or the bed makes you lie down for a few minutes. But working from home can be very productive if you pay enough attention to your workplace and create the right atmosphere.

Here's how to organize a home office correctly so that you don't lose concentration, but at the same time don't lose the feeling of comfort in your home.

Choosing the best place for your home office

If your home doesn't have a separate room that you use as an office, you can set up a mini-office in your bedroom or living room. You need to think carefully about where in your home you'll have the best working conditions.

When designing a living room with an office, it is necessary to take into account that the availability of good natural light for work is one of the main conditions. Therefore, the work area is usually located next to the window. To minimize the separation from the rest of the room, use a decorative partition or shelving. An open shelf will not visually clutter up the interior. At the same time, you can place books, folders with working documents, decor and the stationery you need on it.

In the bedroom, the window sill can become your workplace. In this version, it will serve as a table. The window sill can be equipped with original legs-shelves, where you will put office supplies.

In order to save usable space and visual space, you can abandon the full-fledged desk in favor of a hanging console.

A portable home office is also a great and versatile option. It can be placed in any of the rooms or taken out to the veranda or balcony. The minimum set of furniture for the workplace: a small table and a comfortable chair. A small table will perform the practical function of a desk, a laptop table or a cabinet for a table lamp.

Organize your workspace
Your desktop can be anything you want: solid solid wood or minimalist suspended, standard office or vintage. The main thing is that the work surface suits you. For the comfort of your back, the height of the desk should match your height.

In order not to clutter up the workplace, you can hide work papers, stationery and even charging "stations" for gadgets in the drawers.

Documents and useful little things can be incorporated into the interior by placing them on open shelves in folders, decorative boxes, baskets, and even glass jars.

A convenient solution is wall holders, organizers, cork and magnetic boards, which can be used to place important notes, a calendar, photos, motivational posters or postcards above the workplace.

Don't forget to think about lighting. Provide a place for a desk lamp, the best solution for the workplace is an LED daylight bulb. If the room suffers from a lack of natural light, you should give preference to neutral wall colors or sand and sunny shades.

Creating a creative decor for inspiration
At home, you can afford a workplace that cannot be organized in an office. The best solution will be shades, materials and decor that evoke associations with nature.

Your home office can be refreshed with live plants, macramé, wicker baskets, natural wood, and cork.

An office in your home has every right to look like a home. That's why its design fully allows for any accessories to your liking.

The most important thing is to create an atmosphere that will inspire you to be productive and give you pleasure from working at home.

Architects and designers have always been inspired by nature: the plasticity of lines, the calming effect of natural colors, natural materials, and natural light.

Today, the new popularity of the "green" philosophy has found its way into interior design. Labels such as "100% Natural", "eco-friendly", "green" attract the attention of buyers who care about their health and do not want to participate in polluting the planet. Urban residents increasingly want to feel connected to nature in their homes.

But in order to create the right atmosphere in your home, it is important to know the basic principles of eco-design, which should not be neglected:

Get as close to nature as possible
First and foremost, ecological design helps to restore our contact with wildlife. That's why eco-design means materials that are safe for health and contain minimal toxic substances: wood, paper wallpaper, decorative plaster, ceramics, natural stone, and natural textiles.

When you want to make the eco-friendly approach more visible, the emphasis in the house is on natural materials: wooden inserts, wicker furniture and rattan accessories, jute rugs, bamboo stems and cork.

The abundance of living plants and sunlight is also about eco. For example, windows are not curtained whenever possible, or hidden behind light curtains made of natural fabrics.

The color palette should also be inspired by nature. It is often based on a full-fledged landscape, for example, a seaside with sand dunes, blue and sunny shades based on white, or a "forest" scheme with more deep green tones and wood.

Responsible consumption and handmade
Strange as it may sound, design is not the main thing in eco-design. The main thing is the principles of responsible consumption.

You can use an old grandmother's scarf as a material for a decorative pillowcase, a vintage frame can be used as an independent decor, old suitcases can be used as a creative coffee table. Some designers go a step further and decorate the floor with boards from vegetable boxes and the ceiling with old wooden shutters. That is, you can use things that seem to have lost their function to create exclusive details of your interior.

This allows a modern person to move away from using everything off-the-shelf and feel the contact with real materials, as our ancestors did.

Energy efficiency
For eco-design, it is also important to use resources that are spent on housing maintenance in a cost-effective way. The best solution is to reduce water and electricity consumption. Choose windows and finishing materials with good thermal insulation, lay carpets on the floor - all this will help keep the heat in the room.

Rejection of excessive decorativeness, ergonomics and functional decor are also in the spirit of eco. Therefore, eco-design is a choice towards minimalism. But of course, you can easily use as many accessories as you like if they are vintage items and antique finds.

It would be ideal for eco-design if you can fully furnish your apartment with objects made from recycled materials and antiques.

Ecological design takes inspiration from nature and rethinks the way people relate to it. A modern person can minimize damage by choosing this style. After all, eco-design allows you to try to find a "green" alternative to many interior items in your home.

Black is a relevant color today, and it seems that its popularity is not even going to decrease. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to this color in the interior of your home, even if at first it seems difficult to use it appropriately in an apartment or house.

Black accents
A few black "touches" and accents can sometimes be the detail that will decorate, unite and make the whole interior sparkle with new colors. Don't be afraid to use black details, as the Scandinavians do. It can be a vase, a black picture frame, a painting on the wall, a table lamp or a candlestick - small things can sometimes change the look of the overall picture. And especially when it comes to the black color.

Black in the kitchen
Black kitchen always makes an interesting impression. But not everyone is ready for such an experiment. But this shouldn't stop you, because sometimes a single black kitchen island or, for example, only the lower cabinets are enough for the effect.
They can be complemented with black handles, faucets, sink and appliances. But if you're not ready for that, then buy a black refrigerator, hood, or at least black dishes - the effect will still be stunning.

Black walls
Only real daredevils can make such a choice. But such walls will definitely look stylish and impressive. You can complement such an interior with bright accents or, on the contrary, balance it with silver-gray kitchen facades, natural wood and live plants - lush greenery will look great against this background! If black walls are not enough for you, add a few black chairs to the dining table or paint the window frames black.

Black furniture and textiles
Black furniture always looks stylish and is sure to attract attention. Besides, such furniture can be the main accent of your room. It can be an armchair or sofa in black leather, a table, a chest of drawers or a sideboard.

Despite the fact that black is considered a very bold and even rebellious color in the interior, if you use it correctly in the main style of the house, you will get an exclusive and stylish home.

An open plan is one of the most popular wishes of customers when designing an interior. This layout attracts with the absence of narrow corridors and small rooms. However, there are also disadvantages that need to be taken into account when creating a unified space.

More light
Combined zones are not only about space, but also about an abundance of light. By choosing zoning with furniture, we do not clutter up the space with partitions, tall structures, and cabinets. Thus, we leave more natural light in the room.

Fewer corridors
Narrow corridors always take up a lot of space. It is difficult to use non-residential premises functionally, which means that such valuable square meters are lost.

Multifunctionality of space
By combining zones, we get a space that can perform several functions. For example, the living room now becomes not only a place to relax, but also a dining room where the whole family gathers at a large dining table.

Compliance with wet zones
When designing a layout, the issue of wet zones in an apartment often arises. For example, the initial kitchen area is not always sufficient. By combining it with the living room, we can save wet areas. The dining group will move to the living room, freeing up additional space for the kitchen set.

Unwanted odors
If we talk about the disadvantages, the first thing that comes to mind is the issue of unwanted aromas from the kitchen in the living space. A good hood over the cooking area, as well as a well-thought-out ventilation and air conditioning system in the apartment, will help to partially solve this problem. To prevent the smell of cooked food, you can use mobile and lightweight glass partitions.

Less privacy
With an open floor plan, whether you are in the living room, kitchen or dining room, you are always in the sight of others. Privacy becomes a rarity when every nook and cranny is in full view.

Noise level
Acoustics in an open plan can be a real nightmare. Sounds from the kitchen - the dishwasher, blender and food processor - invariably intersect with the sounds of the TV in the living room.

Psychologists believe that renovating an interior has a great effect on our emotional state. But sometimes, when we look at the finished result, we feel anger and disappointment. All this is because of the typical mistakes we make. Therefore, to save your mood, here are tips on what not to do when decorating an interior.

1. Poorly thought-out storage of things
Your home should be not only beautiful but also practical. That's why it's so important to store a variety of household items - from large items to small things. Before you start renovating, you need to think carefully about all the little things: where you will store winter clothes, shoes and jewelry, and where you will keep a vacuum cleaner, ironing board or bicycle. Perhaps you should buy a bed with an extra drawer for bedding, equip additional shelves in an empty niche in the kitchen, or set up a lounge by the window with a spacious drawer under it.

2. Clinging to old things
Sometimes there are so many different things in the house that it's hard to fit them all in, even if you think about the right places to store them. People often make one serious mistake: they don't want to part with old things they no longer use. It's no coincidence that Marie Kondo, the chief tidying expert, urges you to regularly audit your household - otherwise you risk being covered in unnecessary junk.

3. Chasing all the trends
We all want to follow fashion and keep up with the latest trends. But it's one thing to follow the trends, and quite another to try to fill your home with all the most fashionable things. Rely on timeless classics that will stand the test of time, and avoid fast trends. If you really want something bright and trendy, introduce it into the interior in small portions: let it be a vase, ceramics, an armchair or an art object.

4. Fill all the walls with furniture
Arranging all the furniture along the walls is one of the most common mistakes in room design. This is especially bad for long, elongated rooms. If the layout allows, you can use one design trick: move the sofa or armchair away from the wall and leave a passage behind them - this will create the illusion of more space. A table in the center of the room will also give space and a sense of "air".

5. Copying someone else's style
Your home is a reflection of your personality, not a copy of other people's interiors that you have spied in a fashion magazine or in the homes of your favorite stars. Determine what is really important to you, what you like and what you don't - it makes no sense to copy someone else's ideas. When you find your own style, you will understand what you want your home to look like

Eco-style in the modern interior of a house or apartment will help create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. An important advantage of eco-style design is the ability to find solutions for every taste, in a variety of price categories.

Colors
The most important element that creates an eco-friendly style is the color scheme. Usually, these are the shades that we find in nature: sand, earth, grass, coniferous, terracotta, blue, white.

This style does not tolerate "acid" shades and sharp and contrasting color combinations. They should not be used in this design - after all, the eco-style interior is conducive to rest and relaxation, so your eyes should not feel uncomfortable.

Materials.
When it comes to materials, natural structures are the ideal option to strive for, and you can also use materials that imitate them. These are wood, stone, cork, terracotta, ceramics, glass, paper, wicker or rattan panels.

For an apartment in an eco-style, wooden furniture is suitable, simple in shape, but massive, and the shape should be as natural as possible. After all, it should resemble natural curves. Wicker furniture made of wicker, rattan or bamboo also complements this style well.

Lighting.
Eco-style is also difficult to imagine without natural light, which will create a sense of space. If it is not enough, you need to add artificial lighting. Lamps in eco-design can be "invisible" - built-in, complementing the light from the windows, as well as decorative - with lampshades made of textiles, rice paper or vines, with elements in the form of tree branches or animal horns.

Accessories.
Eco-style does not like the accumulation of unnecessary items - after all, there is nothing superfluous in nature. Therefore, decorative items should have a practical function. For example, wicker baskets and chests in the interior become places to store various small items. Simple homespun rugs add exclusivity and insulate the stone floor.

But this does not mean that you lose the opportunity to complement your home with cozy accessories. Unusual "paintings" made of stone and wood, beautiful pebbles stacked in a glass vase, mirror frames with shell designs, river pebbles laid out in the bathroom as a rug - it's hard to even list all the possible decorative elements available in eco-style.

Today, eco-style is one of the most popular in interior design. And it's easy to explain, because thanks to it, you can take a break from the stuffy big cities and feel the lightness of nature in your house or apartment.
