Apartment renovation: how to choose a style

1. Use in the decoration of the apartment of metal, bronze, silver and gold

You can paint everything in these shades: batteries, ceiling plinth, interior items. The metallic shade will add a creative touch to your home.

2. Return to fabrics and wallpapers

Wall painting, which has become so popular, is gradually going out of fashion. Wallpapers of different colors and textures are coming out of oblivion again. They provide a wide range of creativity and help to liven up the atmosphere in any room. The use of velvet in the upholstery of upholstered furniture is also gaining more and more popularity.

Although geometric patterns have been used in architecture and interior design for a long time, it is only in recent years that they have begun to become particularly popular. The geometric décor gives the apartment a bold and distinctive look. This year, interior designers are actively using various shapes in fabrics and precious metals.

4. Turning to organics and mobile forms

The silhouettes of modern buildings are becoming more fluid and rounded. Complex frame systems, the use of forms of wildlife, various suspended structures are still in vogue. Buildings are becoming more and more transparent, airy, bending fantastic curves.

There is no doubt that it is imperative to have retro and vintage furniture in your home. Many architects and designers now turn to past eras, draw inspiration from them, and also find and restore interior items and supplement their projects with them.

6. Mixing natural and artificial textures

A strong trend that emerged in 2016 is the simultaneous use of materials such as concrete, marble and wood. In the near future, new residential buildings and hotels will be equipped with furniture and accessories with natural wood inserts and metal details. This will give them a rich and unusual artistic look.

Soon we will see a shift towards richer and more saturated hues in terms of color. The use of white and beige in decoration is a thing of the past. From now on, designers are inspired by the color blue and its shades: blue, indigo, sea wave, etc. Blue will become a stable color used from pillows to large furniture in the house.

8. New developments in the field of vertical cities

The construction of vertical cities will become a new basic concept in architectural construction. Vertical cities can conserve energy, support a growing population, and conserve horizontal spaces for manufacturing, food markets and shops, nature and recreation.

9. Sustainability in design

Architectural projects are currently focused on maintaining an elegant appearance, but at the same time without compromising on sustainability and reliability. Designers around the world are still embraced by a passion for minimalism. But at the same time, they try to fit their structures into the environment as much as possible and not disturb it.

10. Implementation of 3D technologies

In recent years, 3D printing technology has become widespread in many branches of science and technology. Its discovery provides fantastic opportunities for decorators, previously unknown. More recently, two designers managed to completely print the interior of a room. At the first stage, the general structure of the room was developed, then smaller details were drawn. The final stage was printing and fitting all parts to each other, connecting them together.
