Despite the fact that more than 100 years have passed since the inception of this style, it is still called "modern".Having existed only a few dozen years, he left a deep mark in architecture and arts and crafts. Let's see what features characterize the modernist style in the interior and why he fell in love with our compatriots?
The main characteristics of the modernist style
In order to understand where the roots of this style lie, it is necessary to clarify that it originated in the late nineteenth century and existed until the beginning of the twentieth century, and its extinction falls just at the beginning of the First World War. At that time, a style was needed that, in opposition to the existing disorderly eclecticism, ordered the thoughts of a person and filled them with meaning. Modern modernism in the interior in those days uses the latest achievements of science and technology, it is at this time there is a smooth transition from handicraft to mass production, and the interiors are intensively composed of artificially created materials such as glass and ceramic tiles.
In order not to confuse this direction with another, just be aware that the interior design in the Art Nouveau style is characterized by the use of flowing lines, floral ornaments, an abundance of glass and stained glass. This style, refusing from direct and laconic lines, as it were experimenting with floating forms, and pretentious to call them difficult. These are natural lines, reminiscent of, for example, the curved stem of a flower. And in general, the vegetative theme is played out rather intensely, we can say that the philosophy of this trend is built around the idea of growth and development of all life.
How to make a living interior in the modern style
Living room
Creating the interior of the living room in the Art Nouveau style, the key emphasis should be made on the primacy of the lines. Necessarily they should be smooth, flowing one into another. Create comfort and envelop the comfort - this is one of the main tasks of the room, designed in this style. For example, furniture is used in curved shapes, with bends on the armrests;if the living room has a staircase leading to the second floor, then it must have a smooth, streamlined shape, rounded banisters and round balusters.
Also in the decoration is welcome stucco molding and plaster, the main thing is that it was not too much. Wide and large windows adorn the curtains, laid out by a wave, often curtain fabric wrapped cornice, it turns out a kind of svagi, thrown over the cornice. As curtains can be used ordinary curtains, which with the help of a picker or cord are collected on the side of the window.
The interior of the living room uses muted but deep shades. There are no colorful and screaming colors, everything is elegant enough, but in no way is it boring. In textiles, advantage is given not only to monophonic fabrics, but also to fabrics with a pattern reminiscent of plant patterns or intertwined in the unknown dance of animals.

Bedroom
One of the key roles in the bedroom is a bed that should be cozy and give peace and tranquility. It can be rectangular or round, but necessarily with streamlined smooth shapes. Soft ottoman and bedside tables will not spoil, but only emphasize the elegance of the lines. The interior of the bedroom in Art Nouveau style can be supplemented with a wooden chest of drawers, a ladies' table and a mirror with rounded corners.
As far as lighting is concerned, it should not be too bright and intrusive. On the contrary, the soft light of the floor lamps will emphasize the rest area. A chandelier placed in the center of the ceiling, and wall sconces will complement the bedroom lighting. A window, a wall, a ceiling or in any other place of the bedroom can be stained with a stained-glass window - one of the symbols of the style, supplementing the artificial lighting with soft overflows of light streams.

Kitchen
Kitchen furniture in the Art Nouveau style also should not break out of the general style, there will be no sharp right angles and bright contrasts. Rounded corners of cabinets and countertops, smooth door shapes, glass inserts on the furniture facade - these are the main points that are used to decorate the kitchen in the Art Nouveau style.
Walls can be pasted with wallpaper with floral ornaments, intertwined in a complex drawing. In furnish it is better to give preference to a tree, but also a stone, and also a ceramic tile too in honor. In case you need to use plastic as a finishing material, you can safely apply it, it will not contradict the canons of style. A ceramic cookware and other crafts made of this material will become a real decoration of the kitchen, made in the Art Nouveau style.
If we talk about the color scheme, then there is a rich palette of not too bright shades: brown, green, gray. For example, the dark facade of furniture will look great on the light background of the whole kitchen, and if you want you can decorate the light doors with a floral print.
