Projects of houses in modern styles

Today, many owners are turning to the design of their homes in a modern style. It is applicable not only for city apartments, but also for private houses, country cottages and even luxury villas. Projects of such buildings differ in a thoughtful and progressive way in which various design experiments and fresh, innovative ideas take place.

Currently, the layout of modern homes are very different. They have different designs and design features. So, one of the most popular today are single-storey and two-story brick houses, characterized by reliability and good stability.

Often, these houses are based on wood and other similar materials and are only lined with brickwork. Some owners turn to interesting design tricks and one of the walls in any room is not trimmed, leaving the brick in a prominent place.With the help of such a detail it will be possible to create an unusual ensemble in the style of a loft or industrial.

Not so long ago, ready-made frame and modular buildings became popular in our country. They are very similar to the usual designer, which is easy to assemble and just as easily disassembled. To carry out repairs in a similar dwelling is very simple and inexpensive.

Prefab houses considered to be prefabricated. They absolutely all the necessary "parts" are connected to each other through reliable and strong fasteners. These designs came to us from Finland, Scandinavia, Germany and the USA, where they have been used for quite some time and are quite common.

Modular At the same time, the houses initially belonged to the “temporary buildings”, therefore only the cheapest and the most reliable materials were used for their construction. However, at present, modular designs have been greatly upgraded and have become in many ways similar to the frame versions. They are highly mobile, so they can be easily transported from one place to another and even disassembled / assembled without damaging the structure.

Especially popular in our country are private log houses. Such buildings have a beautiful appearance, which is easily combined with other materials. For example, a solid wooden house can be safely supplemented with a fence or balcony with metal, chrome and wrought iron parts. Such buildings are rightfully recognized as one of the coziest and most comfortable, despite their capriciousness and exactingness.

In all the listed buildings of a large area, 3-4 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms and even 2 garages are often found. All this can be easily arranged in a two-story building, the area of ​​which starts from 100-110 square meters. Of course, this plan can be safely changed at its discretion, for example, replacing the second bedroom with a study or a small gym with exercise equipment.

The interiors of private houses in modern style have their own characteristics and features that distinguish them from other ensembles.For example, furnishings in the good old classic style suggest the presence of a large number of carved and exquisite details made of precious woods, and you will not find such elements in such a direction as high-tech.

As for the interior, the designers in this case recommend to refer to such materials:

• decorative plaster with a rough surface or unusual texture;
• wallpapers imitating natural stone of various shades;
• linen, repeating brickwork;
• original 3D panels;
• wallpaper with the appropriate futuristic or minimalistic image.

It is acceptable to use natural stone and brickwork in the interiors of modern buildings, however, such wall decoration is allowed to apply only if all floors of your home are durable and reliable, since these coatings have considerable weight and are not easy to install.

Especially expensive and luxurious look elite furnishings, in which the wall decoration is complemented by natural wood inserts or beautiful marble elements with their unique brilliance and characteristic contrasting inclusions.

The design of dining rooms in country houses, as a rule, is characterized by a special spaciousness and the presence of large window openings. In such bright rooms, lunches and dinners are becoming more pleasant, as many owners of such houses say.

Most often, dining rooms in private homes have a standard white ceiling with chrome or black metal lamps (track systems are ideal). On the floor, you can lay a laminate or tile of any shade, however, the most popular are cream, beige, soft gray and dairy options. Light furniture with metal and chrome-plated details, as well as transparent glass worktops, looks especially organically against their background.

In the dining room, as in other rooms, you can equip the beautiful accent walls. For example, in a soft yellow or creamy setting, a bright wall with an image of yellow-orange flowers or juicy citrus will look spectacular.She not only dilutes boredom, but also allows her to successfully beat the ensemble with contrasting blue chairs on metal frames and glass wall shelves.

It is better not to use high-quality furniture made of precious wood in modern dining rooms and kitchens, despite their presentable appearance. It is better to give preference to metal, steel, plastic and glass interior items, which are more suitable for progressive stylistic trends.

Many people make out private offices in private homes. These rooms should be distinguished by a solid, but not striking appearance. In this case, modern style should be expressed in harmonious contrasts, concise forms and designs, as well as beautiful and high-quality materials.

A study in a private house or country cottage can have a light finish and dark furniture. For example, it can be beige or white coverings against which a black leather sofa and armchair, open dark shelves made of plastic or painted metal, as well as glass cabinets or attached tables will look great.

In such rooms, tables with a wooden tabletop also look good. As a rule, such details are knocked out of modern styles, but not in the arrangement of the working area. Here the wooden texture will look harmonious, since it conveys well the solid image of the ensemble. As for the accent walls, they are also quite acceptable in workrooms. For example, it may be one of the overlappings, trimmed with wallpaper under the white brick. To prevent this room from looking too businesslike and lifeless, designers recommend supplementing it with living plants in suitable pots and vases in style.

Living rooms in a modern style, as a rule, have bright and spectacular contrasts, giving the interior a special chic and futuristic look. The most popular is the classic combination of black and white shades. They can be diluted with bright accents of red, yellow, blue, purple or green colors, as well as “calm” and delicate beige, cream, caramel and light brown details.

For modern living room accent wall is a must.It can be positioned behind the couch or TV. Most often, the owners choose for this light brick or masonry (natural or artificial), as well as original wallpaper with contrasting modern prints or stylish patterns.

The floor in the futuristic hall can be finished with almost any materials (it is worth refusing only natural wood). It can be light or dark seamless laminate, fashionable "liquid" floor, tile, porcelain or soft carpet. Often in these rooms there are small fluffy carpets of calm and neutral colors.

As for the furniture, in modern living rooms monophonic objects look best of all. If we are talking about a sofa and chairs, then the best options are models with leather upholstery. You can pick up and woven products, but in this case it is necessary to give preference to plain skins without bright prints or flower arrangements.

In the hall, designed in modern style, it is worthwhile to have coffee tables, shelves and cabinets with chrome or painted metal legs and fittings, as well as glass or glossy table tops.

Modern style should be traced not only in the decoration and furniture, but even in lighting. Very harmonious and attractive in such ensembles look tall and large floor lamps with chrome surfaces, unusual and avant-garde ceiling chandeliers of futuristic shapes made of heat-resistant plastic or metal, as well as suspended semi-circular lamps arranged in a row.

The living room in modern style can be equipped with a stretch gloss or matte ceiling. It can also be layered. As a rule, such components are complemented by spotlights or chandeliers of the appropriate style.

Designers do not recommend the use of a large number of bright contrasts in a modern bedroom. For such spaces it is better to choose calmer and more harmonious colors that will not excite the nervous system, because the bedroom is a place for healthy sleep and good rest.

Especially impressive and attractive in progressive and futuristic bedrooms looks the same progressive furniture. For example, instead of a standard double bed with linen drawers or wide supports, you can use an unusual “floating” model, in which there is only one, but reliable leg, made of transparent material that makes it invisible.

Often, such furniture in the bedroom is complemented by beautiful LED lighting. For this, you should choose ribbons of pleasant and soothing colors, for example, green or blue. It is better to refuse screaming red or bright pink light bulbs and find a place for them in other rooms in the house.

Characteristic features of the modern style in the design of private houses and country cottages are laconic and slightly angular architecture, as well as the presence of perfectly regular geometric shapes. These features are inspired by the ideas of European designers. Such buildings are very popular today, as they do not catch the eye and do not irritate with their pomp,but still look stylish and rich.

The architectural elements of modern residential buildings include the following elements:

• glass fences and fences on the balconies and attic (small and high);
• accent exterior walls lined with brick or stone;
• natural wood inserts on plastered facades;
• window and door designs that have a contrasting color (for example, black on a beige background);
• beautiful stone paths leading to a concise entrance door;
• A large number of small lighting fixtures along the paths and at the entrance to the house and garage.

It should be noted that most often modern private houses have a lot of parts made of ordinary concrete. For example, these may be steps leading to the entrance to a dwelling. So that these parts do not look too dull and monotonous, they are often supplemented with beautiful wrought or painted metal handrails in a concise version.

Another characteristic feature of modern private homes is that they can combine a variety of combinations of materials for outdoor decoration. Many owners today prefer spectacular tandems of brick and wood,plaster and wood panels or stone. These solutions look very fresh and original.

Modern private houses, made in progressive and ultramodern directions, can boast an incredibly stylish and original design. Let us consider in more detail several spectacular examples of thought-out ensembles made in a modern style.

In the spacious white kitchen or dining area will look great bar table with a snow-white island built into it. This design should be supplemented with metal chairs with black seats. Want to make a really unique ensemble? Then place a matte dark gray set near the wall behind the bar that looks like it merges into a single structure. Complete the interior with black track lights.

In the modern style it is not recommended to use a large number of wooden parts, however, the bathroom does not comply with this rule. In it, you can trim all walls and floor with moisture-proof wooden panels and place on their background tree cabinets with glass doors, a large and wide mirror, a snow-white bathtub and a glass-walled shower cabin.

A cozy living room in a private house, designed in modern style, can be finished with white materials, and the floor - with brown parquet. In such conditions, a black leather sofa with white cushions, a black matte tea table, white chairs with metal legs, a wall-mounted TV (in front of soft furniture) and large wall paintings with contrasting tones will find their place.

Bedrooms in modern style is an excellent solution for people who are tired of traditional and classic interiors. For example, against a semigloss accent wall paneled with dark wood, you can put a high light bed with golden linen and dark pillows. Lay on the floor a seamless dark laminate or tile. Place light cabinets with frosted doors and chrome lamps near the bed, and a white leather chair and a black floor lamp at the foot of the bed.
