9 signs that your home interior is out of date
Deciding on a repair is not easy, especially if the decoration does not yet require updating. But if you look closely, you can understand that the interior is outdated and out of fashion. Signs that it’s time to take measures to renovate the house.
Multilayer gyro
Drywall is a universal material. It is used for the manufacture of partitions, niches, false ceilings. But all this is no longer relevant.
Layered false ceilings with fancy smooth lines look heavy. They are not suitable for apartments, since they visually make the ceiling lower.
Suspended structures were replaced by suspended ceilings. They look stylish, they also allow you to mount a spot and diode lights, and visually they make the room taller.
Partitions and drywall racks also visually make the interior heavier and take up free space. Moreover, modern trends are based on the creation of an open plan, if you use partitions, then glass.
Decorative plaster with patterns
This finish does not look stylish. If you use decorative plaster, then as a uniform textured background.
You can choose a light or dark shade to finish the accent wall or its section, and place a contrasting element on it - a panel, a picture, a clock, a mirror.
Modern textured plasters are beautiful in themselves and when applied, thanks to the filler, they create a certain pattern.
Small format tile
Tiles 5 x 5 cm and 10 x 10 cm are the standard, often used size for wall linings in the kitchen and bathroom.
But why not pay attention to the tile of non-standard sizes and shapes: large, for example, 20 x 30 cm, "boar" or in the form of hexagons.
Such material looks unusual, stylish. Modern tile is not only smooth, but also with a relief - this allows you to create interesting optical effects on the walls.
Glossy stretch ceilings
When the stretch ceilings were only starting to gain their popularity, it was their glossy, rough surface that attracted attention and looked unusual.
However, modern interiors use satin or matte stretch fabrics that mimic the traditional whitewashed ceiling, but with a perfectly even surface and color.
But the bright blue, orange, red gloss on the ceiling is no longer relevant. Especially if the room is not large, with such a ceiling it will seem even smaller, since all objects will be reflected in it.
Color wenge
Natural wood in the interior will always be appropriate, but it is important to choose the right shade of wood.
Wenge color is more suitable for classic interiors. And for modern styles, such as minimalism or Nordic, a light tree with a smooth, not expressive pattern is suitable.
Moreover, light furniture visually expands the space. For Provence style, wooden furniture can be painted in white or light pastel shade.
For country, rustic, hi-tech and loft, you can use a dark wood with an old texture. Many modern styles allow the use of furniture from laminated particleboard. Smooth glossy facades can have different shades, including bright ones.
Photo printing
Realistic images on the ceiling, walls, furniture have a right to exist, but it is important to choose the right theme for the picture.
It should emphasize the chosen style and color scheme of the interior.If there is not enough skill, then it is better to trust a professional designer.
With the help of wall murals on the wall section, you can focus on a separate functional area in the living room, in the kitchen.
Photo printing on the ceiling in a modern interior should not be too bright, artsy. The image is selected taking into account the environment.
Geometric lights
Lamps of a geometric form look stylish in modern minimalist styles, in interiors in the style of loft, Nordic, high-tech.
In another case, they look like something alien, inappropriate and can introduce dissonance into the situation. If your interior has lamps, sconces or floor lamps in a retro style, strict form, then they can make the environment outdated.
Sometimes it’s enough to change the shape of the ceiling and the atmosphere in the room will immediately sound in a new way.
Pendant round lamps made of transparent glass, clusters of retro incandescent lamps, modern multifunctional diode chandeliers with a control panel look stylish.
Color backlight
A sign of a modern interior is restraint and laconicism.
This also applies to decorative lighting. Bright, multi-colored will make the situation too colorful, it will attract a lot of attention and distract from the general design concept.
With the help of diode illumination, you can emphasize the shape of the ceiling, niches, podium structures, furniture, but you should choose an even white cold shade.
Plastic furniture
Plastic furniture is practical, but it is better to use it only on the veranda, in the gazebo, on the street as a temporary option.
It looks cheap in the interior. An exception may be pop art. Also, plastic furniture can be used in the children's room for storing toys and clothes, a table and chair - for drawing. Plastic is easy to clean, hypoallergenic, lightweight
