American style interior features
Any interior style can be guessed by peculiar only to him features used in the design of the room. The basis of the American style is natural materials, comfortable furniture and open spaces.
Walls, floor, ceiling are the background to create an interior. Most often they are simply painted or covered with wood paneling. The main colors characteristic of the American-style interior design are light shades of beige, green, blue and yellow. Wall-paper, especially with a pattern, is used extremely rarely and only for additional zoning of space.
To create a special atmosphere of the home in the American style, only natural, but quite expensive materials are used. Wood is necessarily used in furniture, and in the interior decoration of rooms.
A minimum of additional decorative items: everything should be functional, and not just fill the room. Light walls can only be decorated with thematic posters within frames or with favorite family photos, a table can be supplemented with a small vase with fresh flowers, and a knitted bright plaid will be casually draped onto the sofa.
Another feature of the American style of the interior is the combined rooms: the kitchen, the living room, the dining room and even the hall act as a single space competently defined by arches.
