2. Projector instead of TV
In most cases, the interior of the living room is formed around the central element. — TV. But lately, the TV screen is losing its leadership positions, especially among people who are not used to turning on the TV as a background for everyday life and prefer full-length movies to TV shows. In this American project, the TV screen was replaced with a mobile projector, but the location for it was chosen quite traditionally. — Above the fireplace. Subtle decorating humor is easy to read in the interior and cheers up the owners.

3. Individual sinks
American design emphasizes not only decorative but also practical individuality. One of the typical examples — two sinks in the bathroom of a country house, equipped with separate hanging mirrors on metal chains. Without colliding every morning on a narrow patch, spouses can simultaneously put themselves in order.

4. Innovations to save money on
Author’s interior solutions do not always eat up the lion’s share of the budget; in some cases, they, on the contrary, help to save. In this American project, furniture frames were bought at IKEA, but the facades were made to order, supplemented with non-standard opening systems. Thus, the furniture“mestizo» does not give out its origin and brings tangible benefits.

5. Mix of nature and technology
On the one hand, interiors are becoming more technological, on the other — eco motives have been holding their positions in the shortlist of trends for many years. It is not necessary to oppose them to each other: for the zoning of this American house, polymer partitions interspersed with natural twigs were used, thus making nature and technology friends.

7. Transforming furniture for a traditional interior
You won’t surprise anyone with a lift bed or a mobile wall in a modern interior, but technology can easily be integrated into a historical context. In a small studio with a rich past, it was possible to partially restore the situation, and in order to fit both the living room and the bedroom into a single space, the bed with a folding mechanism was hidden behind wooden facades.

8. Unexpected color accents
Add color contrasts to a neutral base – enough a common technique, but to enliven the space, bright accents can be placed in the most unexpected places. For example, as in this project, where the drawers of the bed are painted in different colors.

9. Doors “going nowhere»
Upcycling is jokingly called an anti-crisis hobby: with the help of simple manipulations with tools and paint, old household items are turned into actual decor. Barn doors and shutters — frequent guests of American interiors, and even in modern homes they create a lyrical mood.

10. Bread box sink
Retro items can also have unexpected practical uses. — there would be a desire to think over the ways of reincarnation. Of course, turning an old bread box into a sink is more difficult than ordering a ready-made faience one, but an old item in a new role is guaranteed to become a point of attraction in the interior.

11. Budget headboard option
American bedrooms are characterized by beds with expressive headboards. True, make it to order from expensive wood or buy a finished model in fabric upholstery — not a solution for a modest budget. If this is not your case, or, which also often happens, the textured headboard does not fit into a small bedroom, it can be imitated — just draw on the wall or, as in our example, build from ropes.

12. Box full wall
“Female» the issue of storing accessories is usually solved pointwise: hooks are hung here, a box is placed there – and the system is ready, but at the same time, as a rule, there is not enough uniformity. A shallow niche with a full-length mirror on the inside of the facade greatly facilitates morning preparations: when all the jewelry is collected in one place, it becomes easier to make a choice. From the outside wall “casket» also hides a mirror in a heavy frame.
