What is ecostyle?
The 20th century gave us technology.But in my opinion, we have played this game for a while and stopped noticing nature. Suppressed, stifled, it has started speaking in us again and has begun to break out. Because it is health, purity, joy, freshness, true pleasure. How can we refuse this?! People have turned their gaze to nature again, felt like a part of it and wanted to immerse themselves in it. The transition to eco-style is a step into the future! This is a new system of values. Eco is a style of unique beauty and luxury of nature, innovations created by man and conveyed in the language of art. This style is characterized by authenticity and non-standard forms. For me, it is also a space that corresponds to human energies.
In harmony with nature
Eco-friendly style in relation to interiormeans an extraordinary atmosphere of natural, living, warm and real. Made of natural materials, it refreshes, gives a feeling of healing peace and synthesis with nature. It is comfortable, convenient and healthy - both physically and spiritually.
Features of eco-style
- Simplicity, functionality, naturalness;
- A relaxing atmosphere and interaction with natural sources;
- Sufficient amount of light, free space and air;
- All the elements are interesting to the touch, they are drawn to them;
- Furniture from solid wood, cuts or solid trunk;
- Houseplants, flowers, phyto-modules;
- Quality of interior items.
Choose a color
The most suitable for such a space iscolor scheme in "natural" tones. Here calm colors predominate, setting you up for relaxation. These are enveloping pastel shades, deep brown, delicate beige, playing on the contrast with black, white or wood colors. Shades inherent to nature serve as accents that prevent the monotony of the interior - sky blue, pale green, wheat yellow, delicate lavender, sand, ash gray.
Naturalness in everything!
The concept of ecological design involvesthe use of durable materials, which is more profitable, in addition, products made from these materials do not need to be constantly replaced and recycled. They are natural, organic, wear-resistant, sometimes rare. Rarity can manifest itself in an unusual pattern, color, shape. The materials are stone, minerals, wood, bark, leaves and reeds, metal, clay. They are innovative, bringing an eco-function to the interior. For example, wallpaper and plaster that purify the air, protect housing from harmful magnetic radiation.
Stop! You shouldn't do this!
No chipboard, fibreboard, plastic, polymers,chromed metal, synthetic inserts in furniture and decor. Furniture in eco-style does not need frills, carving decoration, an abundance of colors: the forms are simple and the lines are straight - naturalness in everything.
