How to properly furnish an apartment in fusion style yourself

An esthete who decides to decorate the interior in a particular design style when renovating an apartment or buying a new home, you need to know its features and follow these canons. If you don't really want to drive yourself into the framework of one format, there is a way out - to combine different ones. This article will focus on just such a combination, called the fusion style.

A bit of history

Experts are still arguing in which country this design direction originated. Some consider it to be their homeland USAand others are exotic country Philippines. Be that as it may, fusion quickly spread throughout the world. Its heyday began in the 80s, when many talented designers worked in this style.

Main features

The very definition of "fusion" speaks about the main feature of this design. In Russian, the word means "fusion of different", that is, inconsistent with each other, styles. And in the end, a harmonious combination of them is achieved (well, or should be achieved).

This means that fusion has absorbed the unique features of various other directions design art. Experts and true amateur connoisseurs are not surprised by the presence of a supporting the ceiling of the Doric column and next to it a wicker country chair, clearly modern by the look. They will immediately say that the interior was made by a designer who is well versed in the direction and will pay tribute to the tastes of the owner. And, oddly enough, this column will really look harmonious next to the chair!

Another important feature of the style is the possibility of continuous development of the interior. If, in most other formats, adding a new furnishing element is problematic and can lead to a sharp change in appearance, then in the fusion style, a well-chosen new object will easily fit into the interior. There are no canons that this chair or chair does not fit here, no.

The only significant requirement for interior design in this style is the presence of a sense of proportion. The combination of too flashy colors or overly fanciful pieces of furniture will not always be in the theme. Porridge can be spoiled with butter, especially with machine oil.

Color spectrum

Most often, the following colors are used in the decoration of a room in the fusion format:

• red-brown and beige tones;
• turquoise;
• White;
• black;
• grey;
• fuchsia color (so that you understand - something between purple and pink);
• purple.

The fusion style leaves a lot of freedom of choice in wall decoration. Wallpaper with drawings, wall murals and mosaics will be quite appropriate. Often, images of animals and plants are painted on the walls. But this can be overdone. Then elegant fusion turn into tasteless kitsch.

Requirements for materials and furniture

Fusion does not have such strict requirements for materials finishes and furnishings typical of other elegant and aristocratic styles. Along with natural wood, fabric, marble, it also allows the use of cheap finishing materials - plastic, all kinds of chipboard and MDF boards for furniture. The main requirement here is the presence of a pronounced external texture and harmony of surfaces with the tactile sensations that they cause.

In the living room and bedroom, wooden furniture upholstered in natural fabric or leather will be appropriate. Carpet will look very good on the floor. Moreover, not only traditional models will delight the eye, but also carpets imitating animal skins. It is not at all necessary to take the life of the same poor bear or elk.

Perfect for kitchen decoration untreated wood, brick, concrete, decorative stone - they will give the room a unique flavor.

Lighting requirements

Light fixtures should not be too weak or overly powerful. In a dark room, small details of the interior can be invisible. And if a too powerful lamp is installed, then the flow of light can absorb the bright details of the interior, visually making them lurid and even ridiculous. In a word, we need a middle ground. You don't have to get attached to a particular type of chandelier. If you liked it and looks good, then this is a fusion-style chandelier.

A good option to consider is spot lighting with diffused light. It is better to mount the luminaires evenly. over the entire area of ​​the roomso that every element of its interior is well lit.

Fusion is a modern style of design art. It provides designers and apartment owners with complete creative freedom, at the same time placing increased demands on a sense of proportion and aesthetic ideas. If you have an artistic taste, it is quite possible to independently think over the design of an apartment without resorting to professionals.
