An eco-interior allows you to truly escape from the hustle and bustle of the city within the walls of your home. Ekaterina Krymova tells us how to create an interior in an eco-style. Ekaterina Krymova, designer Ekaterina is the executive director of the Larisa Krymova Art Studio. She graduated from the Mukhina St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Design and has been involved in interior design for over ten years as part of the studio.

Space and forms in eco-interiors — Spacious open spaces, mainly with natural light, not cluttered with furniture and accessories, are most suitable for the eco-style. Eco-interiors create harmony in the house, designed to free its owner from the hustle and bustle of city life. Furniture shapes with smooth lines are borrowed from nature. Only natural materials and textures. It is very important to think about lighting: it is better to create several scenarios that make it possible to change the atmosphere depending on the time of day, activities and mood. Colors in eco-style Eco-interiors are first and foremostonly calm natural shades, borrowed from nature itself. Black, brown, green, beige, gray, blue, white - surrounded by these colors and their combinations, the eye rests. The best way to dilute calm shades is to add natural greenery, and the more, the better. Recently, phytowalls have become popular, allowing you to add not only natural brightness, but also a sense of life. Materials for eco-interiors First of all, this is,Of course, wood, and it should be used not only as solid furniture, but also in decoration. Thus, wooden beams can appear on the ceilings, panels on the walls, and solid wood parquet, either inlaid or laid out from boards, on the floor. For the walls in the main rooms of eco-interiors, it is worth using wallpaper made of natural materials, and in the bathroom, turn to the use of natural stone. Textiles for windows and upholstered furniture in eco-interiors should also be of natural origin: linen, wool, matting, and others. A sense of connection with nature will be created by accessories made of natural materials. Decorative items in the form of branches, tree trunks, clay or glass vases. To revive a cold vessel, you can plant a small garden in it - you will get a real art object. Ecology and eco-style The origins of eco-style are,First of all, care for the environment. Therefore, the use of plastic, chromed metal and other artificial raw materials is alien to eco-interiors. On the other hand, the use of solid wood for the production of furniture and finishing panels leads to deforestation, which contradicts environmental principles. It is important that many companies producing finishing materials care about the environment. They use energy-saving lighting and solar panels in production, install additional cleaning systems and give production waste for recycling. Some manufacturers working with wooden products set themselves the task of planting new forests instead of cut ones. And this is a real contribution to environmental protection.
