The ways of decorating a dwelling began to emerge simultaneously with its appearance. Today, we have a coherent system of ideas about how to make the interior space not only beautiful, but also functional.
Interior (from the French root meaning “inner”) of a modern house is based not only on the choice of decor in a certain style. The concept includes planning, zoning, competent arrangement of furniture – activities that allow you to organize a comfortable space for life.
Thought-out interior should correspond to the character and habits of the inhabitants of the house. It is also important that in the design there was a common line, the core, harmoniously uniting the individual elements. In the interior should be traced the following qualities:
- Functionality. Each room (bedroom, living room, kitchen) is designed taking into account the requirements of ergonomics and anthropometry; the filling should correspond to the purpose.
- Hygienicity. During construction (repair), parameters important for a comfortable life are taken into account: heat protection, soundproofing, ventilation, sanitary equipment is selected.
- Aesthetics. Practicality is important, but not the only quality. Harmony of space and things that fill it is important for a holistic perception. Not only the conformity of finishes, decor and interior items to each other is taken into account. The location of individual details, their color, lighting conditions are also important.
- Zoning. Usually carried out naturally, by individual rooms. If it is necessary to allocate zones in one room, it is most convenient to do this with the help of color and texture of finishes, or furniture.
- Composition. The mutual arrangement of all the constituent parts, built according to certain rules. Includes not only furniture, but also functional zones, decor, lamps, appliances.
- Style. Determines the final look of the dwelling. It is influenced by the tastes of the owners, fashion, traditions, imposes its imprint on the choice of construction and finishing materials.

- Symmetry. The simplest and most important technique in creating the compositional center of the room. It can be used both in the arrangement of furniture and in the use of finishing materials (especially if it is necessary to conduct zoning). The interior acquires an organized, finished look, looks calm and solid. Helps to avoid chaotic perception, if the room has a lot of furniture, poorly combined with each other.
- Asymmetry. This technique helps to reduce the “officialism”, pretentiousness of the environment, which is occasionally present in classical styles. Violation of symmetry creates an accent in the arrangement of furniture or decor.
