Already at this stage, it is necessary to think about colors, finishes, textures of objects, shapes and how to combine everything correctly. To keep up with fashion trends, you should pay attention to design trends.
If you plan to start everything from scratch, then you need to create a holistic concept and consistently follow it. Ultimately, the interior should look like a single ensemble. Even before the repair begins, the design idea should move to paper in the form of clearly marked fragments.

Interesting budget option in loft style
This stylistic direction is suitable for rooms with a large area, high ceilings and necessarily the presence of wide window openings. Its characteristic features are brick walls in the form of masonry or its imitation, textured fragments of metal and wood.

A similar design idea may work for a room with small parameters. The walls of the smallthe premises must then be completely finished with brick, painted in white or pale gray.
Modern room option
The interior of a modern room will turn out to be truly stylish and beautiful if you follow the following rule: harmony + contrast. You cannot use different materials with the same surface in the same room, for example, a laminate with wood or a tile with its imitation. Design trends are combinations of rough and smooth, soft and hard, voluminous and flat.
An example of a room in gray tones is shown in the photo below. The walls in this space are predominantly white. The floors are wooden, dark, with an admixture of gray. Even, somewhat rounded shapes of upholstered furniture and other items are popular. All fragments of the interior should be within the framework of a single palette of colors, but at the same time have different shades of it, as well as the texture and quality of materials. For example, a dark gray velor sofa is complemented by steel-tone silk cushions and several other types of fabrics in various tones of the same range. On the floor, a shaggy rug a tone darker than the coating itself will look good. Furniture is allowed both of the same type and textured.

The living decor looks perfect against the background of natural stone, plain tiles or wood. It is beneficial in that it does not bind to a specific color, because green goes with everything.
Instead of living plants, if necessary, you can use artificial moss, it is very difficult to distinguish it from the real one. To decorate a green wall, driftwood with ornate shapes and artificial butterflies are suitable.
The combination of stone and wood in the interior
These two time-tested natural materials have long been used in the interiors of houses and modern apartments. The embossed stone wall is wonderfully combined with wooden elements. It can be bedside tables, doors, mirror frame. It is important not to forget to use different surfaces. If you opted for a smooth tree, then the stone should be chosen rougher, rougher. It will be the perfect combination of contrast and harmony. It is even better if the tree has a clearly defined structure characteristic of natural wood. A polished stone will go well with this material.
If you plan to make a similar finish in the hallway of a residential building, then the highlight of youra design idea can be a transparent glass insert on the front door. In this case, flowerpots with plants should be present on the porch, which would be clearly visible from the inside. It would be nice to put a pot with an indoor flower on the bedside table. This will combine the external and internal style of your home.

Since we are talking about the classic version of the kitchen, the joint between the two zones can be dressed in a plaster molding and painted in a suitable color. In the future, it would be nice to decorate the family corner with stucco decor.
Space can be divided into two parts by both color and relief.
