Art Nouveau furniture

The definition of "modern" implies a special artistic style that arose in the process of the development of sculpture and painting, architecture and scenography. In the design of the rooms, Art Nouveau began to be used at the end of the 19th century, at a time when chaos and uncertainty were present in the aesthetic norms: the houses of well-to-do people were struck by the complete bad taste of the chaotic mix of elements of different styles.

Modern decorators took into account the errors of the bourgeoisie and made this style more seasoned and comfortable. To achieve harmony in the interior helps a single color scheme, muted lighting and a combination of various materials and textures. In a separate category is the modern furniture. Due to its rich design and thoughtful decor, it stands out clearly against the background of the usual penis cupboards and universal coupe cabinets. What are its main stylistic features and how to fit it into the design of certain rooms? About this below.

Character traits

In the Art Nouveau style, a single subject-spatial environment of the interior is created, subordinated to the laws of harmony. This desire can be clearly traced in furniture that has a distinctive appearance:

Designers argue that this style does not apply to the budget variant of interior design, because it uses furniture of the highest quality, which is often made for personal orders.

We select furniture in the room

Depending on the purpose of the room, you can select several options for furniture:

  1. Furniture in the Art Nouveau style for the bedroom . The main emphasis is on the bed, which has a luxurious wooden headboard with carved elements or riddled with rough material without a pattern. The table or curbstones should have low legs and be a height of up to half a meter. In the decor, the shelves , which are identical in style to the thumbs, fit well. A massive cabinet is best placed in the remote part of the bedroom.
  2. Furniture in the Art Nouveau style in the living room . Here, the key elements are the sofa and the table. The sofa must be in the form of "P" or "G" and be located in the center of the room. Soft modern furniture is made of dark wood and is complemented by a light upholstery, so to emphasize the contrast it is better to place it on a solid carpet. The table should have a large wooden or glass countertop, and its color should match the color of the sofa. Take into account that the less furniture will be in the room, the more it will correspond to the style of modernism.
  3. Furniture in the style of Art Nouveau in the hallway . Of the mandatory furniture in the corridor should be present the following attributes: dressing table, hanger, stool or table. The requirements for furnishing are rather blurred. It can be essentially classical elements made of an array and having curved forms devoid of symmetry.
  4. Children's furniture in the Art Nouveau style . Only noble types of wood should be used here. For storing things suitable cabinets with metal inserts and carved handles. The sleeping place should be carried out in a rectangular shape and have an accented headboard (for example, in the form of a car, a ship, a butterfly or a flower).

The greatest difficulties arise when working with small rooms, such as a kitchen or bathroom. The fact is that modernity requires a lot of free space, and these rooms by definition can not provide this. So, modern kitchen furniture in the Art Nouveau style has straight lines and minimalist design, which is more characteristic of high-tech direction.

A set of furniture for a modern-style bathroom must necessarily include a cabinet, chair / chair, and possibly a cosmetic table. Plumbing should preferably "drown" in the wall or pick up the tone of the floor or walls.
