Lounge from a fashion trend is gradually entering the interior style. To create a recreation area in an apartment, you must master the basics of psychology. Light, color, zoning, shapes - all this works for relaxation. In this article, we will look at the most common ways to create a lounge area.
Country mood
For a long time the words "cottage" and "rest" have become synonymous for us. How nice, forgetting about the noisy city life with its incredible rhythm, to sit on the sofa, listening to classical music or reading a book… A wall decorated with natural wood, wallpaper with roses painted on them, a combination of pastel shades of creamy and mint turquoise - it all creates appearance of the Russian dacha of the XX century. And do not forget about the presence of fresh flowers.
Italian motifs
Home gatherings with friends and family are a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of life. Especially for this, a soft lounge area is easily organized. It is enough to create a closed composition of armchairs and a sofa around round tables, and you will get a wonderful corner forhave a good time and relax. Pastel, soft colors and plenty of light streaming in through the round window and glass doors give the impression of a sunny, clear day on the Italian coast. And the presence on the table of a vase with fruit, candles, wine will give you the opportunity to feel what the “dolce vita” really is, which was sung by the famous Federico Fellini.
Home "scene"
There are people who think that the lounge area in the apartment is an unaffordable luxury, because it eats up precious and already missing meters. For such persons, a practical option is ideal - this is a high podium device. Inside it, you can “hide” a pull-out bed and drawers for things, and place a sofa and a music center on top. Thus, you get a lounge area that resembles a stage with a wooden parapet. On such an elevation, you can also watch TV, after fixing it on the wall.
Eco-lounge in the city
With the use of classic green color in a modern interior, which is typical for Scandinavian landscapes and Norwegian patterns, it is easy to organize a relaxation area in an eco-style room. Wicker furniture in a city apartment is far from uncommon. The main thing here is to arrange it in such a way that it is spacious enough in the corner intended for relaxation, as well as spread out the pillows. "Vegetable" calm colors help create the effect of uniting with nature. And the image on the wall of the forest edgevisually expands the space, which is especially important in small rooms, and also sets you up for peaceful contemplation.
In a cocoon
Lounge-zone on a small square is organized quite simply - for this it is enough to get one interesting chair. It is created in the form of a ball of fiberglass and rotates around its own axis. In such a corner it is good to be alone with yourself, talk on the phone or look through a magazine. Continuing to choose furniture for the lounge area, it is worth noting that such an environment will be well complemented by a leather pouffe, which can be used as a tea table, second seat, footrest or magazine stand. At the same time, the juicy color of the furniture will have an anti-stress effect, and original accessories, such as a watch with “dangling” numbers and a portrait of a dog, will add a little humor to the atmosphere.
Oriental accents
Eastern Europeanized seating area in the house is devoid of classic colorfulness. Its decor is dominated by calm shades of black and gray. Bright accents here will be only multi-colored pillows. A soft thick mat is placed on a low podium. In this place you can recline, enjoying the leisurely passage of time. Nearby on the floor, you can symmetrically place Buddha sculptures, which will emphasize the orientation of this zone. An abundance of flowers will make it possible to create the illusion of a miniature oasis in the room.
A place in the sun
Such a lounge-the zone is suitable for people who can admire beautiful views from their window. This place to relax is a bench made of wood with pillows and a soft seat. If additional lighting is required, then a sconce or floor lamp can be placed nearby. Such a "bed" can also be arranged on a simple wide windowsill: sitting on it, you can do needlework or admire the landscape.
And most importantly. In every corner of the rest, there must certainly be a colorful view from the window, since this component can play a big role in relaxation. If it is absent, you return from work tired, while you no longer want anything natural, you can give a small room for a lounge, painting it in dark beautiful colors. Thus, it will turn out not just a room, but a real intimate box. Turn on calm music, pour tea, light candles and immerse yourself in the process of returning yourself to a state of complete harmony.
