Let's start with modern interior style.

Modern interior design can be described as a completely new approach to interior

decorating, the common

characteristics include a monochrome color palette, clean lines symbol and functional
furniture, tasteful

use of decorations.

A home in this style is functional, comfortable and spacious.

Now let's talk about flooring, walls and ceilings.

The walls and flooring finishes are only a background for furniture and other items.

The interior should be designed in a way that accentuates details, especially the modern
furniture

and other statement items.

The walls can be painted plastered with stucco or decorative stucco or covered in wallpaper.

But the surface should be relatively smooth.

The flooring is usually Parkay laminate tile board or carpet, and typically a lighter color to
accentuate

the furniture.

The flooring textures are simple without large patterns, and finish can be either glossy or
matte.

The ceiling is also an important feature in modern design.

The ceiling can be even or recessed using drywall, wood or even dropped ceilings.

Now on to finish materials and the color palette.

The most common color palette is neutral tones.

This features shades of grey, tan brown, as well as black and white.

One of the main finished materials is wood.

Wood is easy to match to the rest of the interior, since wood is also used in furniture, decor,
stairways

and other areas.

Almost any types of finish materials are suitable for a modern interior, as long as they do not
have

drastic textures.

A modern interior will typically use a monochrome color palette, but does not require this,
for example,

to create a more interesting interior accent.

Colors like Brown, Green or others can be used with a white and gray interior.

It is important to keep bright colors to a minimum.

The main rule for color selection in this style is using no more than three colors, one of
which is

the dominant color.

On the subject of furniture and textiles, the pieces of furniture and modern interiors are
typically

simple but are also statement pieces.

Unusual, futuristic or antique furniture is not recommended in modern interiors.

Modern furniture is characterized by simple lines and forms usually constructed from wood,
chrome glass

or high end plastics for upholstered pieces of furniture and textiles.

For example, sofas and curtains.

The materials should be chosen in similar colour tones or patterns.

Common materials include linen, velvet leather and others for wood surfaces.

The wood should be the same or a similar type and shape throughout the home.

Now let's talk about the core.

It is important that the interior appears complete and pleasant.

Final touches in a modern interior include paintings, statues, furniture, unusual and elegant
vases,

stunning light fixtures, glass and metal ornaments.

These details will make the space unique.

However, there should not be too many decor items.

It is advised to have one large painting rather than several small paintings or one elegant
vase, rather

than several small vases.

Now onto lighting, a modern interior should have comfortable and functional lighting.

It is common to use accent lighting to illuminate focal points such as Neches or a piece of art
in some

rooms such as the living room, bedroom or dining room.

There should be a main light source.

Usually this is a stunning fixture in the center of the room with other light supplementing the
main
light.

Hidden lighting is a popular feature in modern interiors.

Led strip lighting is commonly used for hidden lighting.

Recessed ceilings can also be accentuated with lighting features.

So now you're going to learn about improper use of colors.

These are the common mistakes with the use of colorful wallpaper, pillows, furniture or
other accents.

A modern interior becomes more interesting and vivid.

It is important to find a balance with color.

Too many can feel chaotic and with too few.

The interior can become boring and monotone.

If an interior is designed using just one color, for example white, it will no longer be modern,

but instead similar to the Scandinavian style.

Then we have improper decor, common mistakes.

Modern interiors should not be decorated with random items.

This will turn the space into a museum when designing the space.

It is important to find a balance with the decorations.

This avoids cluttering the space in modern interiors.

One large statement painting is a better option than several small paintings.

Similarly, one vase or a statue is better than small pieces scattered throughout the space.

Now let's talk about loss of cohesive style.

Common mistakes when choosing a modern interior, it is important to follow it through to

the end.

In a well-designed space, the finishes, furniture, textiles, floor ceiling and accessories will

be tied together in a cohesive style.

Common mistake in empty windows, empty windows are not a common feature in modern
interior design.

A modern interior is completed with curtains or blinds, roller shades, roman shades and
vertical blinds

are suitable for modern interiors.

Now let's talk about complex seeling designs.

Common mistakes.
It is important to avoid overly complex sealing designs.

A spacious design is a characteristic of modern interior, but a complex seeling design will
make the

space appear smaller.

It is also important that the ceiling design is clean and features clear straight lines.

A quick summary of modern interior style in a well-designed interior, the finishes, furniture,
textiles,

flooring, ceiling and accessories should be well coordinated.

The most common color palette features neutral tones for the shades of grey, tan and
brown, as well

as black and white.

It is popular to illuminate niches in artwork, and there is commonly one main source of light,
and

the other like features are accent lights.

Wood furniture should be coordinated and be made from the same or very similar wood.

Clear and straight lines are important in this interior style.

Modern interior is commonly combined with other styles.

Let's go back to our clients project.

This home will feature a combination of two interior styles.

One style will dominate, while the other style will be featured in smaller details.

We will learn how to combine styles later in this lesson.

The home will be decorated only with a few modern details, such as furniture and lighting,
as well

as a few accessories, such as pillows and wallpaper.

The clients requested allied interior.

Therefore, this style is suitable light flooring and walls will accentuate the furniture and
accessories.

The walls will be painted white with bright wallpaper.

There will also be decorative wood strips, since wood is a common finish, material and many
styles.

The flooring will be finished in laminate until the patterns of the flooring will be simple
without

any large textures or design.

The furniture will have simple and clear lines using wood, glass and mirror motifs as the
materials,

the upholstery material will be selected in similar shades and patterns to tie all the details
together.

The ceiling will be smooth and y to accentuate the lighting fixtures.

Now let's move on to the minimalist interior style.

The minimalist interior style is characterized by geometric forms, squares, rectangles, circles,

clear and straight lines, neutral colors, black gray, white pen, high quality furniture.

Simplicity and contrasting details dominate the style.

The mode of minimalism focuses on less is more.

Another important motto is quality over quantity.

Modern interiors are suitable for people who are orderly and enjoy tidy, high quality homes.

Above the minimalist interior styles, flooring, walls and ceilings, minimalist interiors are
typically

spacious.

If you're planning to design a small home with a minimalist interior, it is advised to have very
little

furniture or even replacing doors with arches or glass dividers.

The most common color is white.

White symbolizes calmness and cleanliness, and it opens up the space and the light interior
is decorated

with black, tan and grey details, while textures should be continuous and smooth.

The ceiling designed should be simple and one colored.

A recessed ceiling is seen in modern design is not common in minimalist interiors.

On the subject of finished materials and the color palette, as mentioned, white is the
dominant color

and other colors are used only to accentuate or supplement the white furniture and other
accent pieces

such as the lighting fixtures are emphasized in a white background.

It is recommended to paint the walls rather than applying bright wallpaper, rich and bright.

Walls may distract from the furniture and other details.

Therefore, the color palette should be light.

Pastel tones are preferred since minimalist interiors are typically designed to feel spacious,
mirrors
and glass can help create an illusion of space.

This can also introduce a play of light and shadow in the space.

Then we have the minimalist interiors, furniture and textiles with the minimalist interior
motto of

less is more, it is recommended to choose furniture that is both functional and decorative.

Furniture should be modern and simple with clean lines and forms.

Antique or unusual furniture should be avoided in this style.

Furniture materials include wood, glass, steel, metal and chrome.

The furniture can be upholstered in various materials, but with subtle and minimal patterns.

It is recommended that every room has an accent piece, which is the first item to draw the
eye in a

room.

For example, a piece of furniture, a table, a shelf or a sofa.

It is important to keep the lessons more motto in mind when decorating the space.

The interior should be decorated with few details.

For example, one large piece of artwork rather than multiple pieces or one sculpture, rather
than

a shelf lined with sculptures.

A minimalist interior can be decorated with visas, plants, paintings, lighting, fixtures,
furniture,

mirror carpets and even simple items such as fruit bowls.

However, it is important to use items with simple designs and keep them to a minimum.

Now let's talk about minimalist interior designs, lighting, since there are few pieces of
furniture

and decor elements.

The final beauty of the interior can greatly depend on the lighting.

Lighting fixtures can be installed not only in the ceiling, but also in furniture, above artwork,

behind mirrors in other places.

However, when installing lighting fixtures, it is important to keep a balance.

Make sure to decorate in moderation.

Natural light is very important in minimalist interiors.

Thus, it is advised to design rooms to capture the most light.

Large windows are beneficial for this.

Common mistakes in minimalist interior design.

Too many details with minimalist designs, the interiors must be spacious with little furniture
and

few decorative details.

Does summarize the minimalist interior style.

This style follows the motto of less is more.

The most common color for the interiors is white.

Supplementing with black, brown and gray walls and ceilings are typically smooth and even
without complex

elements.

Mirrors and glass can be used to create the distinctive quality of spaciousness.

Decor and furniture should be kept to a minimum, and liming can be used as a tool to
achieve a beautiful

interior.

For a third interior style, let's talk about Scandinavian interior style.

The ceiling is also light, and typically white wooden beams are also commonly used in this
interior

style.

Now, finished materials and the color palette natural elements are important in
Scandinavian interiors,
therefore organic materials are commonly used.

The lighting fixtures should not be heavy or too large.

Common mistakes in Scandinavian interior style, colorful interior.

Well, modern details will supplement the space.

The collage chosen by the clients displays a light and spacious interior with white as the
foundational

color, various wood and details in a fireplace.

It is rare to create a Scandinavian interior without a fireplace.

The clients requested the warm details.

Thus, the interior will have an imitation fireplace.

Candles will be used in place of the flame.

At this point, let's talk about classical and neoclassical interior styles.
There is a main difference between these styles.
Classical interior developed in the 17th century.
It is a distinguished by elegance and grace and contains no trace of modern
furniture or modern details
in neoclassical interiors.
Elegance is important, but it is combined with the needs of the modern day
person adding to the functionality
and comfort of the home.
Important aspects of this style are the focal point of the room, an ideal
symmetry.
If the space is divided in half, the focal point is in a center of the room.
For example, a fireplace, a table or a sofa.
The rest of the furniture and other pieces of decor are placed symmetrically
from the focal point.
Both styles are typically distinguished by accents such as arches and columns,
moldings and high baseboards
pillars and other decorative boarders.
First, let's talk about the flooring, walls and ceilings of classical and
neoclassical classical interiors
will typically have flooring made from natural wood, marble or tile, whereas
neoclassical will have
parquet laminate tile or carpet for walls in classical interiors.
The moldings and other details are made from high quality materials such as
wood or gypsum and neoclassical
interiors.
The details can be made from wood or gypsum, but polyurethane or foam are
also used.
Ceilings are typically white in both styles adorned with decorative molding.
Finish materials in the color palette.
Classical interiors will typically be designed in a cream and pastel color palette
with white and gold
elements included in the walls, flooring and ceiling details, color such as
green, some grey and
blue can be used to tie the room together and avoid a manot to known style
neoclassical interior style
soft and contain a cooler color palette, white, gray, gold tan and even black
accents.
With details of other acts in colors such as green red cream, etc. In classical
interiors, the materials
used are natural and high quality, whereas modern day construction utilizes
imitation materials for
neoclassical interiors.
In addition to using pillers, molding and other details, the walls can also be
decorated with wallpaper,
decorative plaster, marble or other stone.
Furniture and textiles, when designing the furniture layout, it is important to
incorporate the focal
point and symmetry of the room.
All furniture should be arranged symmetrically from the focal point, which can
be a fireplace, dining
room table or chair.
The furniture should be selected and even numbers.
That is two for six.
For example, two lighting fixtures on either side of the sofa, two sofas with
one in front of the
other, etc..
Classical interiors will have elegant, graceful furniture with natural textiles and
intricate designs
engraved in the hand, rest's and frame.
Classical style furniture is reminiscent of historical times.
Baroque renaissance neoclassical interior furniture will have the same forms as
classical, but they're
more modern in the frames are not engraved.
Materials used for textiles include embroidery, tapestry, cotton, velvet.
Decor, classical and neoclassical interiors are decorated with many accessories,
such as curtains,
pillows, paintings, molding clocks, candleholders vases, lamps, sculptures,
columns, mirrors,
etc..
The main difference between the decor and these styles is that classical
interior decor creates an expensive
look with items that are typically handmade, crafted from rare wood or other
materials, or even gold
plated.
Modern day decor elements can be used in neoclassical interiors, and they
only need to have a hint
of classical styles.
Let's talk about lighting for classical and neoclassical, large spaces are
illuminated with large lighting
fixtures while small spaces use smaller fixtures, not only furniture is important
in these interiors,
lighting fixtures are a key element as well.
Various chandelier sconces and floor lamps are commonly used.
A chandelier in the center of the room creates an atmosphere of elegance
when choosing light fixtures.
It is important to incorporate the idea of symmetry.
For example, four identical table lamps would frame two sofas or two sconces
wood frame a painting.
Now the dos and don'ts.
Smooth sailing.
This is a common mistake.
Smooth ceilings without any type of decorative elements are not common in
these interior styles.
If decorating the entire ceiling is not desired, the perimeter can be adorned
with molding.
This is common in neoclassical interiors.
A chandelier or other lighting fixture is typically installed in the center of the
room.
There should be taken into account when preparing the design.
Another common mistake, ceiling design, the ceiling design and its complexity
is dependent on the
height of the ceiling, a higher ceiling allows a more drastically recessed and
decorative ceiling.
It is advised to minimize the amount of moldings in a small room.
Too many decorative details may make the room appear smaller.
Ideal symmetry, another common mistake, ideal symmetry is a very important
aspect of these styles.
The space is divided in half.
In the center of the room should contain the focal point, such as a fireplace, a
table or a sofa.
The furniture and other decorative elements in the room should be
symmetrically placed in relation to
the focal point.
This means there should be an even number of every item.
For example, two or four table lamps, two bookshelves, two armchairs or
sofas.
A quick summary for classical and neoclassical interior styles.
Symmetry is very important in these interior styles.
The main difference between these styles is that classical interiors do not have
modern furniture or
other modern elements.
Whereas neoclassical interiors will be decorated with modern details as it is a
space designed for modern
day functionality and comfort, both interiors utilize various wall decorations,
such as columns and
arches, molding and wide baseboards, pillars and more.
The color palette in classical interiors is mainly cream in pastel colors, as well
as white and gold.
While neoclassical interiors will be decorated in a cool color palette, using
white, gray, gold,
tan or even black.
Not only furniture is important in these interiors, lighting fixtures are a key
element as well.
There he is.
Chandelier sconces and floor lamps are commonly used.

Now let's talk about industrial and loft interior style.

Industrial and life began as the same style industrial style, this style gained popularity when
old

factories and industrial spaces were converted into living spaces.

The interiors style was simple, with mattresses sat on the floor.

Hammocks aren't painted directly on the walls.

The interiors styles are nearly the same, but the defining factor in loft interiors is the indoor
balcony.

Over time, the lifestyle continued to develop and transition to a more modern interior style.

Let's talk about windows and doors, about industrial and loft.

One of the main qualities of industrial and loft interior style interiors is open space.

The interior typically consists of one space with bedrooms and bathrooms sectioned off into
separate

rooms.

Therefore, there are few doors.

The floor to ceiling windows common for these styles are not usually covered in curtains.

This allows more light into the space, as well as displays the view, which is often a city
skyline.

If curtains are used, they are light and shear.

brick

walls.

as an accent.

For furniture and textiles, industrial style interiors are often decorated with furniture, with a

historical element.

Industrial furniture is made from wood and metal, leather and repurposed items.

For example, a toolbox can become a bench.

Large barrels are used for dining tables, industrial cards turned into coffee tables, et cetera.

Loft interior furniture is more modern with soft, large pieces made from wood, metal,
aluminum,

stainless steel, glass and plastic.
