Fashionable interior 2018: +80 photos of new products in the world of design
The main slogan in 2018 will be "Only the right things." You will have to get rid of all the interior details that do not carry any functional load. In the coming year, a style bordering on minimalism will come into fashion. In this case, preference will be given exclusively to natural materials. A complete rejection of synthetics, “artificiality” will be the main concept of a fashionable interior.
Small details are acceptable that visually enliven the style of the house, but they must also be universal, that is, to fulfill some other “useful” role. The decoration of the apartments will partially return to the 70s. That is why it is recommended to use furniture and things that give nostalgia according to the vintage style for interior decoration. Not to be confused vintage direction the coming year from the retro 50s, which was popular a couple of years ago. The style will be cleaner without a touch of "antiquity."
The fashion does not include “pure” minimalism, which borders on asceticism, but diluted with elements of luxury. When choosing these characteristic details, emphasis should be placed on quality, not quantity.
At the peak of popularity in the coming year will be turquoise and one of its shades: turquoise-mint. From the point of view of psychology, he “eases suffering”, promotes peace. Curtains in the bedroom or living room, upholstery of a soft sofa or a small rug with geometric patterns that are made in this color will give any room a homely feel.
Another novelty of the season will be an unusual color called "honeysuckle." It is in it that the berries of the same name are painted: it is on the verge of classic blue and its darker variations. Furniture with velvet honeysuckle upholstery looks great and rich. Due to the texture of the fabric, the blue turns out to be deep and “soft”;
Two more color trends that have not left the pedestal: Marsala and mustard. A stylish kitchen, the walls of which are decorated in mustard colors with notes of bright splashes, will stimulate the appetite and lure the home with its comfortable atmosphere for long evening tea parties. A bathroom in bright colors of Marsala with the addition of neutral tones will be an original design solution. Gold and shades of bright yellow are also returning to fashion on the wave of popularizing the philosophy of a positive attitude towards life.
Materials
In 2018, the emphasis should be on luxury, and luxury does not allow imitation or fakes. Accordingly, you should choose only expensive and high-quality materials: natural wood, metal, marble, granite, agate, leather, linen, cotton, silk for decoration.Cloth wallpapers will return to fashion, which at one time gave way to the universal and more convenient “washable”.
The current trend dictates the basic law: the simplicity of forms must be offset by the luxury of decoration. If when choosing accessories in a furniture store you have to give a fight to pretentiousness and move towards modern minimalism, then in choosing materials you can come off "to the fullest." Although one should not lose one's head here: a measure should be in everything. Even the most expensive materials in excess will create the effect of "posturing", will crush with their luxury and persistent sense of the caricatured "museum" of the house.
Furniture
Furniture reflects a commitment to simple geometry: only clear lines. Sofas and beds are chosen in classic forms without the use of excessive creativity. If a room with such furniture looks too “angular”, it is diluted with a round coffee table made of glass with chrome trim or neat chairs with a smooth back line.
For the design of residential premises, small deviations from the canons are of course permissible in order to give them additional comfort. The sofa is complemented by a large number of multi-colored, plain pillows, and family photos in metal frames are hung on the walls. In large studios you can "play" with space, zoning it with shelves or plain, strict screens. In country cottages, it is generally recommended to redevelop and replace traditional windows with French ones to the floor. You can veil them the thinnest curtainsthat do not interfere with admiring nature neither day nor night.
Lighting devices in large quantities will also be relevant. For small one-room apartments in Khrushchev, this is more a necessity than a fashion trend. The main thing is that the room would like to "breathe fully", so the space needs to be maximized.For these purposes, an abundance of glass and metal surfaces that will reflect light in themselves is ideal. Look spectacular mirrors, glazed shelving, wall collages or glossy stretch ceiling.
Interior styles
There are three most popular styles, each of which corresponds to the fashionable canons of the coming year:
Hi-tech belongs to the relatively young styles and developed in parallel with the surge of the technological revolution. Hi-tech “loves” the abundance of metal, glass and plastic. One of the important nuances in the new year will be the rejection of the plastic “classic” trend in favor of two other materials. High-tech does not tolerate brightness and sloppiness. It is simple in details and prefers modern household appliances, rather than sweet heart trinkets.
Minimalism is a style that was born in Japan and came to us only at the end of the last century. Now we are witnessing its rebirth. His credo is considered only functionality. Nothing more that could distract from philosophical reflection and spiritual peace. Pastel colors should be preferred. Acceptable game in the contrast of black and white, the famous yin and yang, which cannot exist without each other.
The Scandinavian style fully reflects the Nordic character. For the decoration of the room, only cold shades of gray, white, and blue are used. Everything that evokes thoughts of a harsh winter and tempered character. You can allow small "liberties" in the form of animal skins on the floor, wooden panels or abstract collages on the walls. They emphasize the "natural wildness" of the atmosphere. The fireplace will become a living, burning heart in the midst of a reigning winter in your home. This style is ideal for decorating single apartments of single men. Through it, one can express the severity of character and the uncompromising nature of the owner.
The introduction of “Russian color” is also acceptable: untreated boards or even whole pieces of wood can be competently used in the design of a hall or bedroom. Such design elements are easy to do with your own hands: an unprocessed tree is enough just to sand for security purposes.They make neat bookshelves, chairs, wide “hemp legs” for coffee tables, partitions and false panels for zoning the space or hiding repair flaws. Similar design elements emphasize the proximity to nature and the originality of the owners of the apartment or loft.
Apartment interior
You can get ideas for fashionable interior design from articles in specialized publications. In extreme cases, the design of the apartment is trusted by professionals. However, a self-designed project "warms" the soul much more than someone else's ready-made plan. The apartment is necessarily maintained in the same style. Only small deviations from it or the use of “adjacent” directions are permissible. Not bad combined:
Minimalism and hi-tech.
Fusion and Scandinavian style.
Futurism and avant-garde.
Landed constructivism and American style.
Industrial style and conciseness.
There are a lot of options, you just need to choose one or two similar directions in spirit and adhere to their general rules. In 2018, everything that is dedicated to conciseness and simplicity will be fashionable. The atmosphere is tired of pretentiousness and ostentatious luxury, just like its inhabitants are tired. The living room must be freed from a heap of images, colors and details, because all this is enough in the environment. At home, a person should rest, and the interior of the house must have to rest.
Living room
The walls of the living room are decorated in the same color, with additional finish from the inserts "under the metal" or a combination of two polar colors. In this case, one is bright, and the second is neutral, which will prevail. One wall can be safely "given" under bookshelves and a big tv. Closer to the center, position the main relaxation area: a low glass table in a wooden or metal frame and wide sofa with upholstery no pictures. The floor can be covered with a short soft carpet imitating animal skin or a small hard rug with a bright geometric pattern.
A hanging chair perfectly complements the situation and allows you to add another "separate" relaxation area for those who want to fend off the company. Other walls are decorated with collages with photographs or paintings in the framework of strict geometric shapes. You can use a cold backlight. Curtains should overlap in color with the walls. Patterns on fabric are not allowed. It is advisable to use natural weightless materials for tulle and heavy fabrics for the curtains themselves. Special attention is paid to lamps. Lighting is made "stepwise" at different levels.
Bedroom
You can experiment with the bedroom. Although the use of dark colors in the design of this room, especially black, is considered undesirable, with proper design it will not put pressure on the eyes and give the room a special touch of luxury. Black should not be much, it should be used in mirror surfaces. For these purposes, one of the walls is decorated with glossy tiles. To avoid the feeling of excessive rigor, on the same wall you can place a TV and functional shelves. In combination with black, it is absolutely necessary to add whiteness to the ceiling, on which a false panel with a bright shade is placed. As the third color, yellow, turquoise, deep burgundy or marsala will do.
It is better to leave the floor without carpets and other additional coatings. A light tree will be enough as the final touch of a minimalist setting. A “hinged” bed or a bed with skillfully hidden legs will be a good option. Such furniture perfectly reflects the depth of high-tech style.
Kitchen
Forget about the open shelves and cute kitchen trinkets that are usually left in sight to give the color of French Provence. All cabinets and shelves should be equipped with glass or darkened doors. The bar with mirrored surfaces and a pair of high chairs will be useful.As one of the options, you can consider not a classic table, at which the whole family gathers, but a panel for eating along the entire wall. Chairs are attached to it. Remotely, such a design move resembles the design of a cafe and a bistro. The kitchen is used exclusively for eating, family conversations will be transferred to the room intended for this purpose: the living room.
To revitalize the atmosphere you need to add greens. This is not about pots with geraniums, but about a hinged shelf made of wood, in which pots with fresh herbs will be placed. The solution is simple and functional: shelves are located directly above the cooking area.
When designing a kitchen, you should not be afraid of bright colors: you can safely take saturated blue, bright red, lime or sunny orange as the basis. However, if cold tones are used, they must be diluted. Otherwise, the appetite in the kitchen will be suppressed by color.
Children
A young family is sure to face a dilemma: how to design a nursery at the same time both stylish and comfortable for the child. Naturally, the space will have to be “revived” with soft toys and collages on the walls. Storage areas are distributed evenly throughout the room. When developing a design, emphasis should be placed on the color scheme: priority white, should diluted with bright accentsthat will be striking at different levels of the review.
Most regular desk It will turn into a universal element of the interior, which, if necessary, will be transformed into a bookcase, and an easel for drawing under a slope, and into a cabinet for storing books and toys. To prevent your child from being bored in their own room, select cute curtainsand hang a large drawing board on one of the walls.
Bathroom
The bathroom should be decorated in pastel colors with materials that imitate wood. All storage cabinets must be equipped with doors.The main slogan: "Nothing in sight." If the bathroom is combined with the toilet, as was previously practiced in Khrushchev, it is recommended to replace the traditional door between the rooms with a screen or sliding sashes. It is better to refuse a classical bath, having preferred a more modern shower cabin. A good option would be to use tiles that mimic marble or the structure of another stone.
Hallway and corridor
Designers recommend decorating the hallway and corridor in accordance with the canons of minimalism. The front door must be plain and stylistically have something in common with the entire room. If the walls are cold steel shades, then the door is either black or gray. Discard the classic browns that callus. You will have to forget about the traditional "hallway" with a bunch of hats on the upper shelves and a heap of outerwear on hooks. Only sliding wardrobes with mirrored doors that completely hide the "charms" of your wardrobe. A useful and beautiful addition will be a small, narrow sofa without pillows or a group of several chairs arranged against the wall. Only a rug with uneven edges in a large strip at the entrance or a couple of paintings on the walls can become a little liberty.
The interior of a country house
In addition to the large size of the country house, which makes it possible to "turn around", it has another important advantage: magnificent landscapes outside the windows. Therefore, when you design it, you should strive for maximum "openness" to the surrounding beauties. The windows should be large so that the view is accessible, and natural light floods the premises. Each room can be dedicated to a separate style direction, but in such a way that the rooms complement each other, creating a complete picture. The bedroom, for example, is decorated in blue or mint colors, the kitchen does not focus on yellow or mustard, and the living room has a little “dare” brightness and is equipped with a large real fireplace.In the same way, the design move can be used by owners of two-room apartments, creating their own unique microclimate in each room.
By the way, decorating a fireplace with classic brickwork is not worth it. Use its modern "variation" with a glass door and panels under the "metal". It is better to install the fireplace so that it seems to be a cast part of the wall.
Conclusion
Modern styles play the role of direct contrasts to traditions and everything “familiar” to humans. Their special energy is formed due to shapes and lines. Every detail of design should be meaningful and symbolize a complete rejection of futility. The frantic pace of modern life forces a person to abandon the "husk", which takes time and energy. When developing a design project, repeat as a word spell: plane, angle, line, square, cylinder. Simple geometry should be your goal and tool.
The main slogan in 2018 will be "Only the right things." You will have to get rid of all the interior details that do not carry any functional load. In the coming year, a style bordering on minimalism will come into fashion. In this case, preference will be given exclusively to natural materials.
