Eco-style is one of the most popular and belovedtoday by many designers and architects. What does eco-style mean for designers and how to apply it in the interior — we will tell you in our review The advantages of using natural materials and technologies have a positive effect on the most important thing we have — our health. In addition, the hectic life of megacities increasingly forces us to seek harmony with nature, if not outside the city, then at least in our own eco-interiors. We talk with designer Stanislav Orekhov about how eco-interiors are treated in Russia and abroad. Stanislav Orekhov, interior designer Visualizer, head of his own studio, author of the largest online design school in Russia. A regular participant in thematic exhibitions and conferences. Eco-style is distinguished by the use of natural materials — wood, stone, fabrics and the maximum unification of space with the environment. The laconicism of the eco-interior is one of the main principles of design projects.
When talking about eco-ideas in architecture, it is worthnote the difference between the Russian and Western approaches. In Europe, the main principle of eco-interiors is maximum resource savings, where much attention is paid to the technological component of the interior. Firstly, this concerns the use of recycled and recycled materials, such as cardboard, wood shavings, wood, glass. By the way, if we delve into the issues of eco-interior certification, the status of the future eco-object is also affected by the use of local materials mined or produced near the construction site. Therefore, in their projects, designers can use original solutions made to order by Russian craftsmen - this will look more original and cost less than a custom position from abroad. Of course, all materials must have the appropriate certificates, be safe and hypoallergenic.
Eco-interiors for a European clientare equipped with energy-efficient lighting, water flow regulators, kitchen disposers and emergency water shut-off devices. These seemingly small things give impressive results on a city scale. Thus, the European approach to environmental friendliness is saving and optimizing both resources in finishing and funds for repairs. Stanislav Orekhov, interior designer: - In Russia, the approach to environmental friendliness is different. Here, the cornerstone is unity with nature, the desire to create an interior in the house where expensive, high-quality, natural materials are used as much as possible. For many, the concept of "eco-interior" is associated with the terms "luxury", "prestige" and "quality". In our projects, we always give preference to the use of natural wood and stone in the interior. These materials are not only environmentally friendly, but also have excellent color and texture properties, on which the idea of the entire interior is built. Wood can be organically diluted with glossy surfaces of furniture, decorative wall coverings or soft textile decor. For many clients of eco-projects, details are important, for example, elements of ethnic motifs or natural fur.
Of course, eco-interior can be implemented ineconomy housing. Here the designer needs not only to rack his brains over the search for affordable eco-materials, such as natural travertine, PVC coatings and plywood sheets purified from formaldehyde, but also to show imagination. For example, wall materials made of pressed wood chips or furniture made from old pallets look absolutely fantastic.
As for planning decisions, the questionecology here can be solved by combining spaces and using the maximum number of translucent structures as walls and partitions. Lots of light and air - this is one of the signs of an eco-style interior. This is especially relevant in Russian weather conditions. To summarize, I would like to note that eco-style in the interior is a great opportunity for a designer to show his creative potential. Decorative solutions based on old things, all kinds of alterations, hand-made, non-standard designs developed to optimize space - all this makes the interior non-trivial, stylish and, most importantly, environmentally friendly.
