Recreating the Russian style, so colorful and diverse, more and more interested not only patriotic owners, but also Western designers. And if for the latter this style is a tribute to exotic fashion, only a Russian person can appreciate the legacy of ancestors and the unique atmosphere of the premises created in the world-famous Russian style in the interior of the house or apartment.
- maximum ecological compatibility;
- coloring, even some "lubotichnost", "fabulous";
- The texture of the tree is usually emphasized, supplemented with metal: tin, cast iron, brass;
- sufficient area for each significant object to be allocated;
- rough furnishings.
Objects of interest come from the depths of centuries, like wooden chests, crockery in the kitchen, pots, krynki, other man-made folk handicrafts. It is important only in the pursuit of decorative in time to stop, think about practical use.
Russian hut is a rustic direction, the ultimate natural, untreated. But in such interiors not everyone is comfortable, especially for a long time. Therefore, there is a more refined version - the Russian tower with a few adapted, modernized external characteristics.
Improved variation - terem
The dacha is now associated with pleasant moments, an opportunity to relax, make a small trip. To make a digression into history becomes easy, because changes and improvements are precisely aimed at enjoying color without taking a break from a comfortable pastime.
Upgrade applies to all wooden surfaces - they become more even, carefully trimmed. It is allowed to varnish, polish, paint; there is a parquet. The emphasis is on exquisite, fine carving, ornaments. Mosaic design is present in the decoration of walls, floors.
Decorative elements also undergo changes for a more spectacular transformation:
- subjects are carefully painted;
- gilt, chasing - decorate many planes;
- watches, paintings, mirrors on the walls - no longer look like foreign components;
- textiles - acquires a delicate embroidery with embellishment in the form of silver, gilded threads, beads, pearls.
Furniture is more modernized - even in the photo you can notice the appearance of sofas, armchairs and those objects that succinctly fit in the interior, are more familiar in everyday life. A simple form, upholstery with a suitable cloth - signs that a soft band will get accustomed to the design.

Manor - chic and unofficial
The proportion of chic without a claim to reliability - so you can characterize the opportunity to create an original, spectacular, comfortable interior. Noble manor is a colorful classic style with dimensionality, symmetry, the use of expensive materials and items - witnesses of a bygone era.
Folk traditions quite closely resemble those introduced by foreign elements:
- It is quite permissible to paint the ceiling, stucco, very effectively reflected in the ornamentation of the luxurious carpet on the floor;
- Wooden furniture, possibly with gilding, upholstered chairs;
- Upholstery of walls with a cloth or wallpaper, imitating it - a popular technique that adds coziness;
- Porcelain - everyday utensils, but exceptionally successful copies of plates - on the wall of the dining room as an expressive decor;
- Complex baguettes, chandeliers - dosed, but very expressive;
- Floral and floral ornament - repeated many times.
Council. Italian household furniture, French tapestries and other signs of "overseas" are quite acceptable in the concept of the Russian estate.
Relentless attitude
If you do not want to spend time in an environment that resembles a museum or a souvenir shop - bring only a flush of recognition through associations, and possibly stereotypes. Numerous objects of decor from modern materials allow you to effectively fit them into almost any interior. The mirror framed by a baguette imitating wooden platbands is appropriate for a loft and a real Russian style.
Lapti, nesting dolls, samovars, birch bark - are recognizable always and everywhere. To create "a la Rus" only at the expense of old accents, folklore motives - why not? Many designers reject this concept, considering it too deliberate, filled with cliches. But in souvenirs there is nothing wrong, if they reflect your mood, impressions, perhaps a memory of pleasant moments, interesting trips.
It is not necessary to recreate "literally" any one era, although the distinctive features from the historical point of view are:
The Epoch | Name | Signs |
The most ancient Slavic heritage | Russian hut | Stalls, chests, sticks, ritual symbols in ornament, Red corner |
The Times of Ivan the Terrible | The royal chambers, the prince's house | Vaulted ceilings, stone, frescoes, four-poster bed, brocade |
The First Romanovs | Palace baroque | Chairs, gold and silver, stained glass |
Peter's time | Baroque, rococo | Enfilades, symmetry, unusual materials, Chinese motifs, porcelain |
Catherine | Russian Classicism | Libraries, art galleries |
Khokhloma, gzhel - in themselves being expressive, original, are not considered fashionable, if for them specific conditions are not created - an unusual place for reproduction, non-standard art objects. The main thing is not to overdo it with their number, color compatibility with the rest of the environment.

Color and pattern are one
Many photos of interiors in the Russian style do not give the impression of monochrome and monochrome. The active addition of a variety of colors, rather rich, noticeable, introduces accents, allowing the interior to look more vibrant, dynamic.
There are stable, win-win combinations:
- white + blue - impression of weightlessness;
- gold + red + black - luxurious Khokhloma;
- green + red + blue on a beige, linen background - original ornament.
Among the variety of options presented such a recognizable interior of the Russian hut, take a look at the photo: you can easily find especially attractive drawings. Golden-ohristye tone, diluted with white and red - the main for this direction. Much more multicolored show interiors in the spirit of princely chambers, the tower. For a Russian-style manor, the color embodiment can include rich tones of individual elements - crimson, lilac, blue-green.
Finishing and furnishing
A variety of wood species, such as cherry, birch, ash and pine - vary considerably in texture and budget, and a real solid wood (especially oak) may seem impressive at a price. Diluting completely wooden surfaces is not only aesthetically attractive, but still practical.
Materials-companions for finishing surfaces:
- The tiles. Finishing part of the wall in the fireplace area, cooking area of the kitchen.
- Bleached plaster - will add light and space.
- Natural stone (granite, marble) - emphasizes the structure of the tree.
Creative owners will like the idea of self-aging or resuscitation of suitable samples. Modern handy tools (there are even ready-made sets, for example, for decoupage), varnishes and paints with all sorts of effects (craquelure, patina) take the process to a new level. They allow you to create the most valuable antique object that gives the room a special flavor: a chute, a chest of drawers, a closet, a chest.
Council. Think about not just niches, but screens, doors that hide the necessary technique for full compliance and harmony.
For the kitchen in such a peculiar performance, manufacturers have provided headsets from the array (or called such), which:
- hide behind their facades knocked out of the concept of small and large household appliances;
- For drawing, requirements are taken into account - the shape of the chimney or a special box that hides an irrelevant modification of time.
- home appliances in the style of retro, quiet colors with copper, brass fittings.
Lighting is important and necessary
It can become a serious problem if the interior assumes permanent residence. The abundance of wood does not have the best effect on the degree of illumination - surfaces that do not particularly alternate with white plaster absorb the rays of light, making the interior a bit gloomy, especially in the apartment, with low ceilings.
On what it is necessary to pay attention at this:
- The presence of large windows that will not allow the interior of living rooms to turn into a bath.
- Clarifying areas of paint, whitewashing, because white all better reflects light.
- Excluded active LED lighting, saving the interiors from dim illumination.
Do not violate the authentic atmosphere will help:
- Perforated plafonds modeling lace;
- lampshades with painting, embroidery;
- plafonds from birch bark;
- imitation of candles, lamp.
For modern reading, designers have come up with enough solutions. For example, the last trend - lamps that resemble a matryoshka made of metal, glass. An interesting accent can even become a special retro-wire, allowing historically to justify the achievements of technology.
Council. In the windows, all plastic elements must be replaced with wooden frames and supplemented with decorative shutters if desired.
Curtains simplicity of forms compensate with ornament from flower garlands, lace ruffles are possible. Cornices, necessarily wooden, with a skilful carving - will be an additional decoration.
Home
No style can accommodate such a varied performance of stoves, fireplaces, like Russian. In addition to aesthetic superiority from the presence of this indispensable attribute, in modern design, the home includes an additional functional - zoning, especially with the combined kitchen-living room layout.
But for each direction should follow such recommendations:
- Russian hut – имитация или реальная версия старинной белёной печи. Непременный деревенский штрих – дровница;
- Terem - tiles, and some of the collections are represented by extremely reliable aged specimens that exclude the appearance of a replica;
- Russian mansion - fireplace portal can be made of stone; The stove-burzhuyka - unbanal variant.
No less important are the accompanying objects of the fireplace zone - products made of copper, imitating the bark, all kinds of forged accessories.
Fabric - the index of style
Upholstery furniture groups, pillows, curtains - do not have to make a long choice, because manufacturers offer already ready-made collections. Sometimes even with names that help to make a decision: Firebird, Sadko. Paradoxically, the Russian flax is actively offered by foreign companies, which once again confirms the relevance of this design.
All sorts of tablecloths, napkins for the dining area, lace decor, embroidery, tapestries, homespun rugs - those attributes that some time ago dreamed of getting rid of as a remnant of the past, are actively represented in many design projects. Now they are considered entourage things, without which this style will look unfinished. Stimulate to try to realize the creative potential, in order to be especially proud of the final result.
Russian style in the interior with the help of modern materials can be made so many-sided and original, especially listening to their personal needs. Royal mansions, a classical farmstead or a modest hut - each determines the degree of their adaptation. After all, the most important in any interior, so that it reflects the nature of the owners and helped to rest, to restore strength. With the help of this direction it is quite easy to implement, while simultaneously becoming the owner of a particularly fashionable design of his country house or apartment.
