The living room is the face of every home. Her home is hospitably open to the world. Gestures of greeting and sublime or friendly tone of conversation, taste of wine and festive mood, music - all these are unique moments of our home life. And all this happens primarily in the living room. Here are a few "peeped" plots behind which such a different life is revealed ...Deceptive minimalism simplicity It is often achieved through fantastic technology. For example, in furniture design they rely on the principles of aircraft construction (auto-, cosmo-), only using them on a different, reduced scale. Supporters of the stingy style feeds secret pride.Hole from donut, or the principle of contraform As music is born from a combination of sound and silence, so the form arises on the border between matter and emptiness. Designers and fashion designers have brought to the fore what is usually left out of the box, out of attention. Paradox: beautiful emptiness!Modern He showed the world the inspired freedom of form, while maintaining the unity of style with all its incomprehensible diversity: probably due to its sophistication. Where is she from? Of course, peeped from nature. After all, the source of inspiration for artists was flowers: lilies, irises. It is amazing how close in spirit can be the creations of human hands and the living creations ... Subtlety and high sound unites these two worlds.Redhead Нарядный, активный и слегка эксцентричный цвет. Цвет для уверенных в себе людей, которым идет быть оригинальными и яркими. Redhead цвет обязывает, он требует безупречности деталей и высочайшего качества исполнения.High mood A thing goes out of fashion when it loses its freshness, charm, when the lifestyle and image of feeling expressed by it turns out to be a past stage. Often we change things, not because they serve poorly, but because they become not interesting. Amazingly, this never happens with the classics. Even if we, struck and inspired by fashionable discovery, temporarily forget the divine simplicity and heavenly harmony. Her sublime tone leads us away from the everyday grievances and offenses. Classic - the work of the soul, bringing joy. And therefore it is eternal.White on white Light or bleached wood, white upholstery, white glass and ceramics teach the eye to distinguish between a thousand shades of what they do not even want to call color. This ephemeral palette is for a sophisticated and trained eye.Castling The white top, black bottom - as far as this passion is traditionally in clothes, it is just as nontrivial in the interior. Trendy black floor with a thick-coffee surround carpet harmoniously contrasted with ivory lacquered chest of drawers. Well, and the dark wall against which the light subject is exposed, generally contradicts the habits of the human eye. After all, the farther the object, the brighter it should be. However, as a result of all these bold castling turned out surprisingly attractive composition.Embossed leather A year ago, "ostrich", now "crocodile" - because of its fashionableness, it wraps more and more furniture: chest of drawers, racks, coffee tables. Of course, such an exquisite finish immediately builds furniture into a luxury item.Colonial diversity Traditional classic furniture and ethnic accessories are reminiscent of the colonial era. Memories of the past even gained influence trend. He has been in power for over a decade. On this wave a lot of events happened and a lot of things appeared: the films "Indochina", "The English Patient", "Out of Africa" ​​were filmed, the scents GIVANCHI and KENZO were born, the epidemics of hobbies of martial arts and medicine passed ... Moroccan lanterns, African masks, Indian smoking sticks, Malaysian wicker furniture.
