5 easy ways to create a beautiful home interior

A beautiful and striking interior does not necessarily require an expensive renovation, exclusive furniture or complex layout. A memorable and vibrant detail of your apartment can be an unconventional kitchen apron or an original floor. In this article, we've gathered several ideas that are easy to implement without the help of professionals.

Experiment with floor finishing

Laminate, wood planks, tiles, ceramic granite — these are probably all that comes to mind when choosing floor covering. But the floor itself can become an interesting accent in interior design.

An interesting new alternative is Plasma3D coating, which allows creating a variety of effects: from cracked earth to marble imitation. The feature of this coating is that it can be applied to any surface: floors, walls or furniture.

In case of application to the floor, it is not necessary to remove old ceramic tiles or laminate, which saves time and money. These coatings are also wear-resistant and environmentally safe, they can be used together with a warm floor system, unlike pourable floors.

Plan wall decor

The ideal option is to choose neutral finishing for all walls and make one accent wall. The only limit here is your imagination. For an accent wall, you can choose classic options — paint in a contrasting shade, cover with printed wallpaper, decorate with brick or stone imitation, or stop on more unconventional solutions and materials.

Here are a few inspiration ideas.

In this project, designers mixed matte paint, textured wallpapers and moldings. In this project, parquet was installed on the wall. Deep, saturated tone + lots of bright art. Wooden strips extending to the ceiling in a spacious room add warmth. Another trendy solution is a plant wall and mirrors. Gradient and trendy color — a reference to Memphis style, which is currently trending again.

Create an original kitchen apron

The easiest way to refresh the kitchen interior and make it visually more expensive is a costly apron made of natural stone or marble. However, the price of such slabs is usually quite high. Another drawback is that a standard apron width of two to three meters often does not fit in the elevator, and it has to be carried manually. Also, it is installed after kitchen installation, and any inaccuracy — for example, a mis-cut hole for an outlet — leads to rework.

A good alternative is an apron made of decorative stucco imitating stone. It allows saving not only on the material itself, but also on its delivery, lifting and installation. It is also free of drawbacks of natural material: it is easy to apply and can be replaced if necessary. Moreover, it is impact and grease resistant, as a special lacquer is applied on top.

This apron can be classic in natural tone or in an unconventional bright shade.

Decorate a modern bathroom

Besides traditional tiles, there are many interesting options for bathroom and shower room finishing. How about decorative art concrete stucco? It can be used both in combination with tiles and independently.

This type of finishing fits perfectly into a modern minimalist interior with a shower room without a barrier. Despite the matte, slightly rough texture, this material is moisture-resistant and very easy to maintain.

Don't be afraid of complex art

Despite the common stereotype, large and vibrant art objects suit any room: large spaces they "gather" into a unified whole and add the desired accent, while small ones visually expand.

Art objects are not necessarily paintings. It can be an unusual shelf, a massive mirror — anything. You can easily make one yourself.
