Ornament in Interior: How to Use + Examples

To implement these techniques, we recommend using polystyrene moldings, panels and ornaments: they are lightweight, durable, do not lose their properties over time, can be mounted independently and painted without priming.

Texture + Rich Print

An ideal option for lovers of minimalism. Geometric ornaments have solid advantages: they make the interior more interesting without overloading it, which is especially important for small spaces.

We like the technique used by Olesya Shlykhchina in her project: see how the print on the wallpaper echoes the texture of the wall panels.

How to Replicate?

For the lower part of the wall, choose a textured decorative panel made of polystyrene, and cover the upper part with bright wallpapers whose print repeats the texture of the panel.

In Olga Boytsova's project, the geometry of the carpet pattern and kitchen apron are supported by thin double moldings painted in wall tones — very effective.

How to Replicate?

Decorate the wall with minimalist moldings and paint it in a pastel shade. Accentuate the geometry with decor: posters in contrasting frames and graphic prints on textiles.

Another unconventional way to add depth to a space. If ceiling height and interior style allow, you can choose coons made of polystyrene. If not, there are many options for decorative ceiling panels that do not "consume" room height.

How to Replicate?

To avoid over-decoration, we suggest making such textured ceiling the main accent — let the rest of the finishing be neutral: monochromatic walls, minimalist furniture.

Design: Tatiana Krasikova. Plant Motifs

Yes, vivid and lush tropical motifs captivated our hearts a couple of years ago and remain trendy today. However, we still recommend paying attention to more delicate variants of plant motifs.

For example, in Nadya Zотова's interior: the role of an accent ornament is played by the moldings on the candlelit fireplace and mirror decor.

How to Replicate?

Walls and faux fireplaces can be decorated with delicate moldings in the form of plant motifs — they can be bought separately and thus create a composition according to your taste.
