How to reduce the number of errors in the designinterior to a minimum? To answer this question, today we decided to turn to the techniques that men use in their interiors. Everyone is prone to making mistakes, and it would be wrong of us to claim that a man never makes mistakes. Therefore, we decided to consider the main aspects in which representatives of the strong half of humanity manage to reduce the number of mistakes to a minimum.
1. The secret of perfect order
Taking a look into the truly bachelor interior,you can often find impeccable order there. How do men manage to maintain it? The whole secret is in the organization of space: the presence of bookcases, chests of drawers and other pieces of furniture that interfere with free movement is reduced to a minimum. That is why men choose loft, high-tech, minimalism or Scandinavian styles. For the same reason, they prefer hidden storage systems to open shelves. In a man's interior, first of all, it is about practicality and rational use of every square meter.
2. Combination of colors and patterns
An unexpected combination of patterns or shadescan cause true delight only if the “golden mean” is observed when combining them. This is a fine line that is very easy to cross and make the interior overloaded. Therefore, try to combine several patterns of the same style, for example, stripes on the carpet and squares on the pillows. Try to make a kind of mirroring of the patterns so that different interior items echo each other. Thus, rounded decorative items can emphasize the shape of the ceiling chandelier, and geometric patterns depicted on posters will serve as a reference to the drawings on the pillows.
3. Art objects
There are no random objects in a man's interiordecor, especially when it comes to art. Each painting, sculpture or photograph has meaning for the owner and is an expression of his taste, aesthetic preferences. In order to avoid a mistake, do not buy a decorative item just for the sake of having it on your shelf or hanging on the wall to complement the overall composition. Each element in the interior in one way or another speaks about the owner of the apartment. If you have chosen a painting, it should not only be beautiful from the point of view of design, you should definitely like it and it should be in harmony with your inner state.
4. Color combinations
The interior, decorated by a man, is mostlycases, it is not full of red or orange spots. It is not flashy, but not boring either. In the apartment of a representative of the stronger sex, you will most often find a calm color palette. Here, shades of gray, a rich spectrum of brown, green and blue used as accents may be present. It is possible that the interior can be spiced up with a bright element, for example, a large chair in a yellow shade. In any case, in order for the experimental piece of furniture to look appropriate, use a color that will best harmonize with the overall color scheme.
5. Multifunctionality
The furniture that is in the men's quarters,must necessarily have several functions. For example, a coffee table simply must be strong to be used as a footrest. This also applies to other interior items. All of them are as practical, functional and ergonomic as possible. If we are talking about lighting, then your favorite lamp is conveniently height-adjustable, the switches are equipped with dimmers and the interior must have built-in ceiling lights that zone the space. Everything is calculated here down to the smallest detail, it is not for nothing that they say that men are rational people.
6. Textures and materials
One can argue for a long time about the male and female approachto interior design, but the fact remains that the strong representatives of humanity have a special passion for materials that have a pronounced texture and structure. Natural wood, linen, brick, leather, metal - if not all at once, then individually will be present in the interior of a man. As a floor covering, a representative of the stronger sex will choose solid board or parquet, which is pleasant to walk on barefoot, feeling the warmth of the wood. The walls can be brick, concrete or finished with decorative plaster. It is possible that in such an interior there will be wicker or knitted things, burlap in the decor, linen on pillows, leather in the upholstery of furniture. A man likes to feel his interior not only visually, but also tactilely. And if a woman likes silk, velvet and glossy surfaces, then men like rougher materials. For example, the favorite material of designer Evgeny Evdokimov is brick. Evgeny Evdokimov, interior designer: - Brick is one of my favorite and at the same time universal materials. It is so multifaceted that it can be integrated into any modern interior - from ethnic styles, Provence and minimalism to eclecticism and Scandinavian style. The brick texture can be present both throughout the room and as accents highlighting individual walls. In an ordinary apartment, brick can easily be replaced with decorative masonry. Here are some examples of using brick depending on the effect it should have:
However, I repeat: brick can be present in any other interior, the main thing is to rely on a sense of style and harmony.
7. No formalities
And a little more about furniture.Of course, it cannot be denied that men are drawn to antiques or vintage items. But when it comes to everyday practical use of a particular piece of furniture, a man will choose a model that can be used for a long time without fear that something will happen to it. The priorities for the stronger sex are comfort, wear resistance, and durability. Our opinion: - This once again proves that there are no random things or details in men's interiors. Rational and practical men always surround themselves with stylish, aesthetically balanced things, and know how to find the "golden mean" in terms of color schemes, decor, and ornaments. A man's interior is moderately strict. It is interesting in its textures, not overloaded with details, which allows it to look respectable. We repeat once again that our article is based on observations and is not a set of any rules or standards.
