The lounge from the fashion trend is gradually entering the style of the interior. To create a recreation area in the apartment, you need to know the basics of psychology. Light, color, zoning, shapes - all this works for relaxation. In this article we will consider the most common ways to create a lounge zone.
Country mood
For a long time, the words "cottage" and "rest" have become synonymous for us. It’s so nice to forget about the bustling city life with its incredible rhythm, to sit on the couch, 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 cream and mint turquoise are everything creates the appearance of a Russian dacha of the 20th 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 the round tables, and you get a wonderful corner for a pleasant pastime and relaxation. Thanks to pastel, soft tones and the huge amount of light that pours through the round window and glass doors, you get the feeling of a sunny clear day on the coast of Italy. And the presence on the table of a vase of fruit, candles, wine will give you the opportunity to experience what really is a “sweet life”, which was sung by the famous Federico Fellini.
Home "scene"
There are people who think that the lounge area in the apartment is an impermissible luxury, since it eats up precious and 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 put a sofa and music center on top. Thus, you get a lounge area that resembles a scene with a parapet of wood. At such an elevation, you can also watch TV, having previously fixed it on the wall.
Ecological lounge in the city
Using a classic green color in a modern interior, which is typical for Scandinavian landscapes and Norwegian patterns, a relaxation area in an eco-style room is easily organized. Wicker furniture in a city apartment is far from rare. The main thing here is to arrange it in such a way that it is spacious enough in the corner intended for relaxation, and also to lay out the pillows. A “plant” calm color scheme helps create the effect of combining with nature. And the image on the wall of the forest edge visually expands the space, which is especially important in small rooms, and also sets up for peaceful contemplation.
In a cocoon
The lounge area in a small area is organized quite simply - for this it is enough to acquire one interesting armchair. It is created in the form of a ball of fiberglass and rotates around its own axis. In such a corner, it’s 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 atmosphere is well complemented by a leather pouf, which can be used as a tea table, second seat, footrest or magazine stand . The rich color of the furniture will have an anti-stress effect, and original accessories, such as a clock with “hanging” numbers and a portrait of a dog, will add a bit of humor to the atmosphere.
Oriental accents
Eastern Europeanized recreation area in the house is devoid of classical colorfulness. Its decor is dominated by calm shades of black and gray. Bright accents here will only be colored pillows. A soft thick mat is placed on a low podium. In this place you can recline, enjoying the leisurely flow of time. Next to the floor you can symmetrically arrange Buddha sculptures that emphasize the orientation of this zone. The abundance of flowers will make it possible to create in the room the illusion of an oasis in miniature.
A place under the sun
Such a lounge area is suitable for people who can enjoy beautiful views from their windows. This resting place is a wooden bench 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 enjoy the scenery.
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 don’t want anything natural anymore, you can give a small room under the lounge, painting it in dark, beautiful tones. Thus, it will turn out not just a room, but a real intimate box. Turn on soft music, pour tea, light candles and immerse yourself in the processes of returning yourself to a state of complete harmony.
