Home Interior Guide

Upholstered furniture is the stylish the centre of the French sitting room. Besides, the more spacious premise is , the more furniture takes place in it. Faultless forms, beauty of the invoice of valuable breeds of a tree, intricate, but not loud decor, furnish by carnations - all it does an interior magnetically attractive.
The special attention is paid to the metal furniture. Openwork, graceful and extremely strong metal furniture takes central position in sitting room or bedroom - it may be steel, brass or nickel. As a decor the combination of metal to a tree, weaving from banana leaves or a water hyacinth is applied. Modern technologies allow offering wide color scale, even with ageing. Separate subjects of such furniture can be used for giving charm to interior.
Color style of sitting room in French style is represented with muffled pastel tones - grey-blue, pistachio, color of baked milk.
Even a locker - quite heavy interior element, decorated by artificial made old panels and “shabby” patterns, - will not look bulky.
Unexpected decisions are also possible. French designers, who have been brought up on the classics, invariably pay attention to modern lines, connecting them with traditionally high quality.
One subject is enough to give novelty and the shocking unpredictability to interior. For example, it may be wide wooden surfaces, inlaid with stone plates or breeds of a tree, differing under the invoice and color from the basic one.
In the French interior bedroom is the first violin in a symphonic orchestra. The Bed-castle, velvet sofa, armchair with soft armrests, three-leaved mirror, local “warm” light - these are the indispensable attributes of French bedroom.
In French interior kitchen or dining room is a special place. French designers recommend big round or oval table, the chairs upholstered with a fabric in color to curtains, tasty smells and wine in crystal wine glass.
color scale is very rich- color of ivory, probably, in a combination to separate subjects of color of chocolate or a dark cherry; pistachio in a combination, for example, with nacreous or silver-grey, are the main accents of shades.

Flower design makes any premise cozy and stylish. Correctly picked up plants not only fill the house with oxygen and positive energy, but also influence feelings of the person, help to remove nervous and physical stress.
Placing of flowers and plants on stationary and mobile florists - decorative capacities of the different sizes and forms- is one of widespread ways. Mobile containers can be easily moved within the premise and they also can be regulated in the diversified combinations.
Wall of any light pastel tone is an optimum background for the majority of plants. Blossoming plants with pale will lose their charm on a light background - they accept a dark background more.
Phytodesigners consider that it is not reasonable to place flowers on the window. It is better to use a single plant, low and bushy, if it settles down in the middle of a window, or high and narrow - at asymmetric placing.
Some indoor plants with long accurate stalks look unattractively, if they are located bedside table or on the window sill. Such plants should be established on a special high support-pedestal or placed on the trailing basket.

The green fence on a balcony isolates apartment, interferes with overheat and improves microclimate of premises, it protects from the sun, dust and wind. The greens transform small space of balcony or a loggia into a tiny garden at apartment on any floor of the house.
The decorative effect of gardening of a balcony or loggia should arrange nice view on the balcony and from room. The kind from street though is the essential factor; however, it is not so important, as a view from apartment.
We recommend you to plant asters, a geranium, daisies, carnations, a sweet pea. They decorate interior of apartment and look perfectly. Planting of wild-growing grapes on the balcony is also recommended. It is also possible to plant different perennial plants, in particular, ivy.
The balcony furniture has is very specific. Its quantity and character depend, of course, on size of the balcony or loggia, degree of protection against the atmospheric phenomena and your habits. It is necessary to accept the general principle - during warm season frequently used balcony furniture should be there constantly.
Folding dining table and stools, a chaise lounge, folding little tables, armchairs, benches with folding covers for vegetables or fruits can be used.

The word “boudoir” has come from the French language. It meant a ladies’ sitting room or a room before a bedroom, where the woman could be engaged in cosmetic procedures or welcome visitors. Certainly, at that time such smart apartments were presumed only by rich ladies, but now you can arrange your own world, having managed much more modest means. So, what shall we start with?

Arrangement
Define a place, which you would allocate under the private use. Most likely it will be a bedroom. The classical boudoir interior, as a rule, is arranged in French style (for example a rococo), but you can choose furniture and accessories, following your taste. East motives will be also actual. As a whole it is desirable to make design in light, gentle tones.

Toilet table
The toilet table or pier glass is necessary for you. Without them the boudoir has no right to be called as that. Small table on the bent wooden legs in retro style, probably, even slightly made old will look ideal. It will become the main element of your boudoir and its main accent.

Recamier
Couch-recamier, named in honor of the brilliant mistress of Parisian salon, will help to create necessary atmosphere. It can be a bench with legs, covered with velvet and decorated with small pillows. The tiny coffee table, where it will be convenient to put a coffee cup, will be also required. If there is not enough place it is possible to replace a couch with soft padded stools.

Screen
Mysteriousness to a ladies’ corner will be provided with textile screen. Besides, it is very convenient, when it is necessary to separate intimate zone from the general space.

Light
Light plays important role in general atmosphere. On one hand, during rest it would be desirable to use soft, diffused light, but on another - good fixture for make-up drawing is required. For a boudoir the wall sconce or a floor lamp with a satiny lamp shade will approach. And it is better to place additional illumination above the mirror.
