House designs in a modern style

A beautiful home is a real dream of every person, and it is quite realizable. Today there are many options for decorating not only city apartments, but also private houses. Each owner can create interiors of various styles, from classic to modern, in his country house or chic cottage. We will talk about the latter today.

Currently, designers are developing attractive and truly unique projects of private houses and cottages in a modern style. Such dwellings differ in a way that is thought out to the smallest detail.

The modern style allows you to address any innovations in home decoration. This applies not only to interesting and stylish furniture or finishes, but also to the combination of different stylistic trends in a progressive manner. As a rule, such design solutions look organic even in the most simple and boring dwellings, visibly revitalizing and updating them.

The interior of the house in a modern direction is a great solution for lovers of design experiments. There are frequent cases when in one progressive ensemble there are details from the distant past. Such combinations look very interesting and original, but, of course, they should be used very carefully.

Another distinctive feature of modern trends is that they can be chosen even by lovers of the classics. For example, a luxurious and rich interior in a private house will turn out if you turn to a non-trivial classical or neoclassical ensemble in a modern way.

A variety of materials are used in the construction of modern private houses and cottages. They differ in cost and strength.

Most often people choose for construction work:

• wooden panels;
• natural wood (log, log cabin);

• brick (brick house or brick lined);
• aerated concrete blocks;

• foam concrete blocks;
• ceramic blocks and other similar materials.

Prefabricated is the construction of a frame private house. In it, all the parts are connected to each other. Such buildings are among the most popular in the architecture of Finland, Scandinavia, Germany, USA and Japan.

As a rule, frame houses are built from natural wood or metal, and mineral or basalt wool is used for insulation, as well as polyurethane foam, which is expensive in our country. Some owners turn to more "old" methods and insulate their frame dwellings with sawdust and reeds.

Modular houses are lighter. Initially, such buildings belonged to the category of temporary, therefore, the materials in them were used appropriately. As for the technology, it is in many ways similar to the wireframe options. Modular houses are built on the basis of a metal or wooden "skeleton" and are complemented by cladding made of wood and other sheet materials in combination with insulation. Modular buildings are inexpensive and highly mobile.They can be easily transported from one place to another and assembled / disassembled without losing their quality and functionality.

The dimensions of a private house depend solely on the preferences of the owners and, of course, their financial capabilities. Someone loves and can afford really huge buildings with a lot of spacious rooms and occupied floors. And some people prefer small but cozy buildings that do not require exorbitant cash investments.

More compact, but no less comfortable are private one-story houses. Do not think that such designs will not allow you to show your imagination with regards to design. In fact, interesting ensembles in a modern style can be easily made for such a home. More spacious are private buildings with two or more floors.

Houses made in a modern style are distinguished by the characteristic features and features inherent in this progressive direction. First of all, it is worth noting that in most cases the facades of such buildings are distinguished by minimalism and clarity of lines, which are not standard components of classical options.

For example, the façade of an elaborate Rococo or Baroque building usually has beautiful ornate patterns, stucco moldings and intricate decorative elements. You simply won't find such details in modern houses.

If we are talking about a small house located within the city limits, then a clear industrialization of the exterior is most often traced in it. The most popular lately are simple, but presentable high-tech buildings. Such houses are distinguished by the above-mentioned clear lines and regular angular shapes.

Fashionable buildings in the modern high-tech direction are also characterized by the fact that they combine external simplicity, coupled with functionality. For facades, durable and wear-resistant glass, plastic and metal are most often used. Severity and even some rudeness can be traced even in the color scheme of futuristic and progressive facades. Constructions are often painted in laconic white or gray. Slightly less common are extraordinary and contrasting dark houses, in which the lion's share of structures is filled with large panoramic windows.

Many of the modern facades are rich, but not pretentious designs. This luxury, rather, refers to the futuristic trend, rather than the usual elegant classics, but this does not make it less effective and stylish.

In terms of landscape, a modern-style private home usually has a plot with a perfect green lawn adorned with minimalistic geometric details. For example, it can be concrete paths lined with flat unpainted blocks, large stone vases of rounded shapes and angular lamps made of shiny metal combined with glass.

Stones complement the landscape of a modern house quite well. These can be both natural and special decorative items. From them you can lay out an unobtrusive fence of paths and paths or make up a whole composition of an interesting shape on the grass.

For a thoughtful and stylish modern home, a simple fence made of wooden planks, concrete or stone is perfect. The colors of the structures should be as simple as possible and devoid of bright elements. It is not recommended to hide such dwellings behind ornate fences with graceful weaves and elaborate decorative inserts. Leave these options for more grandiose neoclassical buildings.

The interior of the house in a modern style is a very fresh and original solution, which will surely please all lovers of innovative design ideas. This popular stylistic trend can be effectively played in absolutely any room, be it a cozy bedroom or a study.

The main rule that should be adhered to when designing such a dwelling is something like this: you should not unnecessarily save on materials, furniture, or decor. Yes, fabulous sums on various little things, of course, do not have to be spent at all, especially if you want to, but it is also better not to turn to too cheap and frankly "poor" things.

A living room in a modern style should be not only fashionable and harmonious, but also original. To create an interesting and exciting effect, many designers recommend using accent materials on the walls.

For this, the following is perfect:

• decorative plaster;
• wallpaper for stone, wood or brick;
• spectacular 3D panels.

Having finished one of the walls with similar materials, the rest should be decorated in a neutral key - painted or pasted with white, pale gray or beige wallpaper. It is better to decorate the floor with a high-quality parquet board or seamless laminate.

Furniture must be made in the appropriate manner. Carved wood or colorful gilded decorations should be avoided. All items can be made in both neutral and bright colors. In a modern room, luxurious upholstered furniture with leather upholstery, complemented by a glass coffee table, will look especially impressive and harmonious.

As for the modern study, everything in it should be as strict and solid as possible. It is advisable to choose furniture (computer desk, shelving, chair and cabinets) from reliable and high-tech materials, painted in neutral and cool colors (gray, black, white). Surfaces can be either matte or glossy.

Typically, most office furniture is made of metal. For example, a steel computer desk would look great when paired with a swivel chair with a chrome base and black leather upholstery.

The interior decoration of these premises can be not only monochromatic, but also diluted with contrasting and bright colors, as well as imitations of stone or wood. In the kitchen or dining room, tables and chairs with metal and chrome bases, leather or plain fabric upholstery, as well as glass worktops or options painted in laconic classic colors (white, brown and black) look especially impressive.

When renovating a bedroom, designers recommend turning to three main shades and textures, with the help of which it will be possible to form a harmonious and not overloaded ensemble. You can turn to furniture with matt and lacquered surfaces.

It is worth making the bedroom interior cozier with the help of living plants and flowers, textile decor elements and luxurious fluffy carpets on the floor. In such a modern ensemble, you can use not only classic objects, but also more original designs.

For a bathroom in a modern style, you can use absolutely any color palette. However, a snow-white finish looks especially organic and presentable in such rooms.

Some of the most stylish and thoughtful are the bathrooms, which are decorated in marble. However, this does not mean that absolutely all surfaces in the room must be finished in this way.It is better to turn to a compromise solution and combine marble with glass and stainless steel elements.

European designers are very fond of using a large amount of glass in the design of modern houses. For example, the design developments of Edith Fronsworth have a unique way.

One of the most famous and attractive is home of the German architect Mies van der Rohe in Plano ot Edithlocated in Illinois. It is currently owned by the US National Heritage Site. This building is famous for a large number of glass parts, which is why it acquired the name "glass house".

Today, they are gaining great popularity elite multi-storey buildings, the exterior of which is presented in discreet but organic combinations. For example, it can be façade plaster interspersed with wood paneling or masonry. Shades of materials can contrast sharply with each other. Such structures cannot do without glass fences and doors.

Looks beautiful and simple in the development of European designers five-walled "Cossack" house... As a rule, such structures have a rectangular structure and one floor. Foreign experts prefer to keep the appearance of such buildings as simple as possible. Exterior finishes can be combined, for example, one half of the house is finished with plaster, and the other half with wood paneling or brick. A characteristic feature of such premises is that they often combine living space with a garage.

In addition, many European designers create laconic but memorable interiors, in which there are many details of rough and neutral colors. However, they play up with them with bright accents and woody textures so that it is impossible not to submit to them.

The country house is modern in style and can be decorated in white and gray colors. For example, it can be an ash wood floor, a glossy white ceiling and embossed light gray plaster on the walls. When developing a plan for such a room, you can turn to its effective separation from the rest of the space with the help of spectacular arches or wave-like avant-garde structures. Furniture in such an environment can be snow-white, but it should be decorated with colored details (for example, pillows).

Do you like bold and interesting solutions? Then you will love the modern living room with a black semi-gloss floor and a glossy white ceiling, which has glass partitions with ornaments and wooden edging. In such conditions, a corner white sofa with contrasting details, black floor lamps with chrome legs and a large ceiling chandelier with a wide lampshade and crystal pendants will look great. Thus, you will combine in one ensemble not only modern, but also classic and eco style.

In a private house, decorated in a modern way, you can successfully combine natural and artificial materials. For example, a solid wooden staircase to the second floor can be supplemented with glass handrails, and a fireplace against the background of a white plastered wall can be sheathed with stone or marble masonry. As for the furniture, it can be made in a more futuristic way, but this does not prohibit complementing it with other details made of wood or fabric.

In a modern stylish bathroom in a private house, you can also successfully combine different materials. For example, against the background of solid white plumbing and large illuminated mirrors, wooden wall panels and snow-white floors lined with high-quality tiles look great. In a modern style, an all-glass shower enclosure with chrome-plated sash trims will look great.
