Why not take a step forward to nature - create an eco-style in the interior of the house. As a result, get a real oasis, a personal reserved corner where you can relax, calm down, feel inner harmony. The design is ideal for city dwellers, creative people, lovers of living plants, who are simply not indifferent to environmental problems, all the more there is an opportunity to find a solution for any budget.
Modern eco-style is the maximum harmony with the surrounding nature, preserving the convenience, comfort of a person, the ability to reduce the harm caused by the process of human life. The natural style can be recreated from previously used items: furniture from pallets.Visually, the eco interior creates a feeling of naturalness, lightness, freedom, space.
Benefits:

Healthy microclimate. Live plants will help;
Creative freedom;
Possibility of self-expression;
Anti-stress atmosphere;
Conceptual interior.
Color performance
The choice of colors used is prompted by nature itself. Sharp color combinations, “acid” shades are excluded.
Primary colors:
Green. Each shade resembles the plant world: grass, tree crowns.
Blue. The color of a cloudless sky will fill with freshness. Better to use at the top of the room; accents are a cold tone.
Terracotta. The original, rich color includes natural shades of red-brown. Using a palette is an absolute indicator of style.
Brown is the color of the earth, wood texture.
Beige - shades of sand color, straw create a background space.
Yellow - sunny bunnies that create accents.
White - an analogue of the first snow, high purity, excellent background to plants.
Eliminate black color - in its pure form it does not exist in nature.
Popularly thematic design based on a specific landscape: forest, jungle, birch grove, ocean. White color, modifications (milk shades, ivory, sea foam) are often taken as a basis, diluting, for example, green, brown (forest theme).
Surface finish
The walls are finished with natural materials of different price categories:
Paper wallpaper (plain; floral motifs);
Water-based paint;
Tile - imitation of natural stone;
Plaster;
Cork, wood panels;
Stone slabs;
Sisal, jute, bamboo wallpapers.
The best effect is achieved by a harmonious combination of several types of finishes. Photowall-paper with the image of the nature - an effective exit of budgetary design.Pros: lack of joints during gluing, environmentally friendly raw materials of the composition. Collages are particularly original: macro photographs of foliage, flower, stone, butterfly wing. As for ornaments - smooth vertical lines resembling stems, leaves. Exclude straight lines, geometric ornaments.
For small rooms, the simplicity of the ceiling is optimal, made by whitewashing, wallpaper for painting, matte tensile structures. The ceiling is quite high, the room area is substantial - it is allowed to finish with wooden panels, beams, play levels, create a dome. The coffered ceiling with characteristic cells - recesses made of wood looks environmentally friendly, but at the same time respectable. Ceiling coverings with photo printing technique will set the style: clouds, starry sky, most importantly, in moderation.
The correct flooring a la natural is made of wood: parquet, an array of different species. The popular cork coating will bring additional coziness, comfort. It is possible to use stone slabs, a budget option is ceramic tiles. The final touches will be a carpet imitating a green lawn, mats, guns made of natural components: straw, hemp, bamboo, the softest coconut rugs.
Furniture
For furniture, eco design makes quite clear requirements:
For small rooms - elegant wicker furniture, such as the original dining set. Bold design decisions focus on scuffs, faded parts, scratches, and other signs of recycling. Upholstered furniture should be coated with natural fabric upholstery: wool, chintz, linen, satin.
The current trend: a bed or a relaxation area made of logs, supplemented with mattresses, textile accessories necessary for comfort.
Ecostyle does not allow the use of plastic, metal furniture. Method: put linen canvas covers on chairs. Let's say transparent plastic (chairs, tables). “Disappearing” furniture dissolves and does not violate the concept of open space. Glass is also widely used, in particular - countertops.
To achieve the necessary space will help low furniture to store things: replace dressers with classic cabinets, leaving the top of the room open; Choose furniture with a mirror, white front wall; location - opposite the window.
Significance of windows in lighting
For eco-style, natural lighting is relevant. Often, designers offer the inclusion of outside space in the created interior, especially when planning individual houses. Use every opportunity to make the largest panoramic windows, for example by joining a loggia, emphasizing the eco-style of the interior of the apartment. Minimize the number of partitions of the window frame construction. The best material is wood, good plastic imitation.
When natural light is not enough - add artificial lighting. The discreet natural interior is perfect for invisible built-in lamps, halogen lighting. Lamps with lampshades made of twigs, rice paper, textiles are popular; exotic - elements of animal horns. To keep the light soft, use energy-saving warm light lamps, the total amount of which corresponds to the functionality of the room. The creation of good lighting will be helped by light surfaces of the ceiling, floors, reflective surfaces. Implement the eco-concept will help the management of lighting modes, adjustable brightness.
To achieve maximum light penetration, the classical versions of the curtains are replaced with roller blinds, Japanese curtains, bamboo shutters, wooden blinds; completely fold at the right opportunity.
Decor
Decor will help to complete the image of eco. In the natural environment there are no unnecessary excesses, it is worth sticking to some minimalism when decorating a room. If the components of the decor carry a semantic load - then true harmony is close. Wicker baskets, chests are convenient places for storing things; homespun rugs - floor insulation.
An expressive ecological composition will be composed of original paintings made of stone, wood, wicker vases with fruits, pebbles in a glass vase. All kinds of pillows will soften the interior, if necessary, zoning will come to the aid of light bamboo partitions. Ceramic, glass, clay vases should have a simple shape, bouquets of dried flowers will give a special natural flavor.
The main advantage of the style is the ability to make an exclusive decor, a piece of furniture from improvised materials absolutely free, with your own hands: a chandelier made of birch branches, a panel of shells. Pebbles (available for sale) make out shelves, niches. You can achieve natural surroundings with the help of huge floor pillows that resemble boulders - just do it yourself.
A wonderful appropriate addition would be a fireplace. Modern systems with a natural, living flame, operating on safe biological smokeless fuel, have appeared. Logs stacked side by side emphasize proximity to nature. The area is limited - decorate the fireplace area with wooden saw cuts. The mass of options: imitating woodpile, laid out randomly, observing the ornament. Wooden saw cuts are a great way to zoning different rooms.
The aquarium will harmoniously fit into the marine style of the room. Its presence will be beaten by hemp harnesses imitating ship ropes, various shells, shells.The large aquarium is the main central emphasis.
Green decor
Lovers of indoor plants have a unique opportunity to make the passion a recognizable trait that characterizes the natural style. A living green wall is a sign of a high-end natural style. But you have to invest a lot of effort, time, money. The equipment consists of a special design with planting tanks, a set of systems: irrigation, drainage, lighting, the combined work of which will enable the growth of plants. Looking at the greens, you will get not only aesthetic pleasure, but also fresh, oxygen-filled air.
If you are new to floriculture, afraid to take responsibility for such a global project, reduce the scope. Paint the wall that you hypothetically planted with green, paint with light paint, make local areas occupied by greenery - phyto-pictures; Then it’s easy to remake it on a full-size living wall. Use a special stabilized moss, creating an indescribable depth effect. It does not require special maintenance, except for spraying.
Throughout the world, the idea of micro-gardening and micro-city is gaining popularity: more and more urban residents are deprived of the opportunity to have full-fledged summer cottages. The advanced direction of these ideas implies combining business with pleasure - growing greens for human consumption. In an eco-kitchen, plant parsley, dill, basil in beautiful miniature boxes: follow the condition of the style direction and provide seasonings.
The specifics of the embodiment
The effect of the ecostyle's uniqueness: the principles can be used partially in other interiors, for example, in minimalism, country, loft, and other modern styles. It is difficult to combine with ethnic or historical: Empire style, Provence. Eco is applicable not only for the construction of innovative houses that fit into the landscape design, but also for standard premises for various purposes of an ordinary apartment.
In the living room, all the prerequisites for the embodiment of ecostyle are created, because it does not tolerate disorder, crowding. The volume of the room will allow the introduction of beams made of natural wood, install massive upholstered furniture.
The eco-style bedroom will make a place of relaxation, a good rest. Soft cream tones are harmoniously combined with furniture. Sheathing from wooden boards coated with transparent varnish in the headboard area, bedside tables from the same material - a bedroom set has been created. A large bed with a bamboo, wooden skeleton looks organically.
In the kitchen, the principle of minimalism is often the most relevant: concise eco-design options will help. It is easiest to add accents that simultaneously separate functional areas: lamps, wooden saw cuts. Glass will give the room lightness, airiness - a table, an apron with a vegetable pattern. For absolute comfort, use a terracotta color resembling a hearth: it makes you want to cook, stimulates your appetite. Option: painted walls or surfaces of countertops, milky color - the basis. A small kitchen in this design will look dark - terracotta is used as accents (dishes, tablecloths, textiles of the dining table area).
For the proper design of the bathroom you need space, light, laconic forms of plumbing. Suitable cladding material, granite tiles, reliably imitate wood in the "wet zone". Add color accents - towels. The only detail in the form of a stone sink, a bath tub is able to make a style.
Unity with nature
Undoubtedly, imagination, a sincere love of nature, a certain amount of time are required to create a real eco-style. But then you’ll get not a boilerplate, but a truly exclusive design, especially after making your own efforts to create decor items and furnishings. This is an opportunity to declare oneself as a stylish person who at the same time takes care of nature, carefully using its gifts.Give a chance to a piece of wildlife to settle in the interior and your heart, and the house will become truly animated.
