In interior design, aesthetics are not the least important; thanks to her, the house becomes cozy, acquires style and pleases the eye. When selecting materials and furniture to create the overall look of the home, not only their quality is important, but also their visual appeal.
In addition to the basic elements of design, in the form of furniture, a lot of attention is paid to decor items. Gradually, the interior is complemented by various memorabilia: statuettes, books, paintings, vases and other trifles. In this article we will explain how to make these memorabilia harmonious continuation of the interior of your home.
Council There are not many memorable things, but it is not necessary to put them all in a visible place, they should not clutter up the space, but be a pleasant addition to the atmosphere. Therefore, it is recommended to use beautiful containers or wicker baskets for their storage. To store accessories in your home, you can pick up containers that are combined in style and color with shelves that will not only streamline all the little things, but will also look more neat.
Ideas for the design of shelves and racks
Balance
The lack of harmony or its presence affects the overall impression of the interior. When there are a lot of decor items and they are quite diverse in terms of size, shape and color, this can easily create an imbalance and effect of overloading the interior with details.
To avoid disruption of harmony in the appearance of the house, decor items must be placed on the shelves in such a way that they are combined or alternated in size, height and shape. For example, an elegant statuette can be placed next to a book of a massive type, and several books can be carefully folded near a narrow and high vase. It is important to remember that objects should be combined and look like a single composition.
Symmetry
The essence of symmetry, as a reception for creating a composition, consists in the principle of placing objects, according to which: on the shelf there should be decorative elements of similar size, shape and color matching. In this case, the composition will make a pleasant impression and concisely complete the look of the room.
Items on the shelf must be distributed in such a way that one side is in harmony with the other. For example, if on the right upper side there is a large vase, then in the lower left corner it is worth filling with several small objects.
Knowing of limits
The rack should not be overloaded with a large number of things throughout its area, it will create the impression of chaos. And beautiful things can be lost among the more simple trinkets. It is necessary to leave about 30 percent of the shelf space free, and fill the rest of the space with decor items.
Combination with colors
The overall color scheme of your interior determines the shades of colors for decorative items. In the foreground, you should put things of the primary color, and the background will be objects of neutral colors, matched to the tone. To avoid an imbalance, you should use no more than three colors in the selection of the decorative component of the interior. Shades of decor items should be derived from the colors used in the room setting. You should also pay attention to textiles, for example, the color of curtains can also serve as the basis for the selection of decorative elements.
It is recommended to use a rack of neutral colors (white, black, gray, beige), in the case when the decor items are diverse. In this case, do not forget about the compatibility of the shelves with the setting and the subject of decor, they should fit in the interior succinctly. For example, a rack of dark wood will fit perfectly where there is wood furniture of the same shade and texture, and decorative elements will be red, red and gold.
Top shelves
Placing massive bulky things on the upper shelves creates a feeling of heaviness that presses down. It is short-sighted to place volumetric objects above the horizon line. Decor objects should be distributed so that all these heavy objects are left on the lower shelves, and from the eye level and above it is worth distributing things of a more elegant plan, fragile objects in bright colors.
Selection of accents
If, after all the efforts to properly organize the decorative elements, the rack looks dull and impersonal, you can complement the composition with accents that can enliven and create a more favorable impression of the decor.
Emphasis implies the use of things that differ from the main composition in color, shape or purpose. They can be placed so that the result is a geometric shape. Such accents can serve as a bright vase, textured statuette, books with golden covers, you can place accents both in the center and along the edges of the racks at any height.
