Decoration of different rooms
Art Nouveau prefers large rooms, but even in them it is able to create the impression that the space is loaded with expensive and high-quality things and at the same time maintain the elegance of the interior.
Kitchens
Art Nouveau in small kitchens should not be considered. In medium-sized rooms, furniture for a modern style should be light, uncluttered, and visually light. White color easily dissolves in space, so choose contrasting wall decoration or several dark furniture pieces. In larger rooms, more saturated colors are allowed.
Living room
The Art Nouveau style is characterized by the choice of a dominant color, to which all design elements are subordinated. The interior details attract with their magnificence, and you don’t immediately notice that they are all thematically connected with each other and form a single integrity of the decor. Using examples of finished living rooms, you can understand the design features of these rooms:
- the living room is characterized by sinuous lines of decor in the decoration of the walls, rounded shapes of sophisticated and light furniture, the presence of stained glass and forging;
- the living room in the late Art Nouveau style contains neutral and black shades combined with the color of fresh greenery;
- overload with things is characteristic of early modernism, but if you look closely, all the objects are harmoniously connected with each other into a single theme of the living room.
Bedrooms
Art Nouveau style seems to be created for the bedroom. Comfortable furniture, a cozy atmosphere, muted colors and a variety of lamps with a soft, enveloping light encourage peace and relaxation. The richness and elegance of such bedrooms can be seen in examples.
- An aristocratic olive room with restrained and at the same time magnificent decor of the walls, ceiling, bed, and floor mirror. Tall glass arched doors allow air and light to enter the room.
- The sophisticated furnishings of the bedroom in the late Art Nouveau design fully correspond to the modern lifestyle. The style is indicated by an elegant chandelier with ornate lines, a forest depicted in photo wallpaper, and a figured headboard.
- A modern bedroom based on a circle and a ball. The laconic furnishings of the room are completely subordinated to these lines and shapes.
Bathroom
Owners of small bathrooms should prefer a different style. To decorate modern, the room must be spacious enough. Otherwise, everything is the same as in a regular bathroom - tiles, plumbing, furniture.
- In 21st century Art Nouveau design, you can find floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the metropolis. The smooth lines of plumbing fixtures, mirrors, and lighting echo the straight forms of modern furniture.
- In this interior, semicircular, wavy, spiral lines are used to the maximum. The floral theme is reflected in the lamps.
- Early Art Nouveau in the bathroom is characterized by botanical-themed chandeliers, abstract wall art, and ornate ceiling designs.
Window
The window sizes usually resemble those of large store windows. This gives a feeling of space and lightness. The idea of such glazing is not only aesthetic appearance, but also maximum access to natural light.

On the upper floors, small windows of non-standard shapes and sizes are most often installed.

Facade
Of course, not only the forms create the Art Nouveau style, but also its external decoration. The appearance of the facade speaks about the tastes of the owner.
A few characteristic features:
Surfaces. All surfaces must be smooth and uniform, covered with plaster or wood. For a load-bearing wall, sip panels are needed, which are used for quick construction of walls. The panels are made of timber, which makes the frame reliable. Thanks to this technology, houses are built faster than with other designs. Basement part. Stone is used for this part to show the solidity of the base and to decorate the appearance. Which one to take – wild or decorative stone – is decided by the owner or architect. Mosaic patterns
Patterns of this type are used to decorate the facade in small quantities so as not to distract attention from the view as a whole. Also, part of the windows can be decorated with mosaics, for example, with an ornament with floral elements
For this, different materials are used - for example, small multi-colored glasses. Additional massive decorations. Such decorations include massive columns and moldings. Also cornices, which home owners make at their own discretion. The contrast is achieved thanks to such elements and smoothly plastered walls.
Decorative elements of Art Nouveau style
Decorative elements of the house include:
- External elements. Columns, mosaics and other elements described above.
- Internal elements. These can be individual elements - a chandelier in the living room. Or a set of decorations - bas-reliefs.
Garage: convenient location
Garage and cottage, made in one solution
A house in a modern style should be as functional as possible. Therefore, designing a modern house involves having a garage, which can be accessed directly from the living space.

Stylish accessories in the hall
A complete guest room of this style cannot be complete without unique, beautiful accessories. Original vases, colored stained glass compositions, unusual cabinets, sculptures, beautiful reproductions and fashionable curtains in light colors will create a single image of modernism.
To bring freshness and dynamics to the room, you can put a soft, deep-pile carpet on the floor that imitates grass. And light curtains will expand the room, giving the interior a finished look.
For example, designers suggest decorating the entire wall with the main focus: painting, a collage of photographs from different years, small paintings, several mirrors, etc.
A large painting is welcome as a bright wall decoration. Beautiful landscapes depicting different types of waterfalls, luxurious parks, etc.
Layout of the territory of a house in Art Nouveau style
The surrounding area should fully reflect the main stylistic idea. Modernism involves natural materials, large spaces, which are emphasized by arched lines with greenery and beautiful lighting.
Interior of a house in Art Nouveau style
The area around the house is distributed as conveniently as possible for a comfortable and relaxed holiday. In terms of landscape design, you can most often find:
- garden with exotic plants and shrubs;
- relaxation area in the garden with swimming pool and barbecue;
- front garden in front of the house.
The design uses natural tones, a lot of greenery in the form of lawns and paths paved with stone.

Features of the Art Nouveau style in architecture

The rise of the Art Nouveau architectural style was unable to bring together all the diversity of artistic branches. This became the reason that this name implies a historical period of time that included various genres and movements, united by common conceptual directions.
The fundamental ones, as in the case of the interior, are:
- Maximum muted pastel colors.
- Smoothness and grace of lines.
- Numerous attempts to imitate nature, images of plants, animals, birds.
- Bent decorative elements.
- Arched windows and doors with mosaic pattern.
The St. Petersburg Art Nouveau style is called Northern. This is an international trend that developed in the city at the beginning of the 20th century. Swedish and Finnish architecture had a particular influence on its development.
Moscow Art Nouveau style differs due to the different geographical location of the city. The hilly landscape on which the city is built has a beneficial effect on the visual perception of asymmetrical buildings and structures. The nuance allowed the architects’ talent to reveal itself to its full potential and demonstrate new possibilities to the world.
Key distinctive features of two modern Russian cities:
- St. Petersburg is built on a plain, in the river delta. Because of this, the city is filled with densely located buildings of the same height and having a similarity to the massiveness of the eclecticism.
- Moscow is the complete opposite.
Swimming pool - perfect relaxation
The adjacent swimming pool will become a pleasant place for relaxation and relaxation
Modernism brings extraordinary and modern solutions. Therefore, a swimming pool has become a necessity for successful and courageous people. This piece of the yard’s exterior is located at the back, with direct access to it.
Shapes and sizes can be from very small to huge, with transparent sides or paved with sky-colored tiles. It all depends on the area of the territory.

Style color scheme
A distinctive feature of natural style elements is their natural color in the interior. Therefore, you should not be surprised at the abundance of pastel, muted tones. These include: all shades of brown (from milky to the color of coffee), tones of the achromatic palette (from silver to the color of wet asphalt), green. The latter’s task is to enliven the decor with its presence. Sometimes a strong contrast is used - the same red as the opposite color in the palette.
To create harmony of decoration, furniture and textile elements, designers select the ideal color balance. However, the artist’s soul must know when to stop, since too many shades will evoke associations with vulgar eclecticism. Therefore, the first thing is to look for an accent element, so that there is something to build on. If this is an exquisite piece of furniture, then the background color of the walls or the delicacy of the ceiling covering should play a secondary role. In any case, you should not use a large number of colors - the rainbow has no place in modern style.
Dream front garden
The front garden is an integral calling card of any home. Therefore, the design of this site is treated with the utmost responsibility. It reflects the taste preferences of the owners, expressed in green compositions of shrubs and exotic plantings that will not lose their attractiveness throughout the year.
Black and white facade of a house in Art Nouveau style
In large areas, stylistic ideas are played out, complemented by lawn grass, paved paths made of flat bricks and wrought-iron benches for relaxation.
A small front garden should emphasize and match the facade of the house. Therefore, the porch is most often decorated with greenery in flowerpots and unusual containers.
Patio – relaxation in comfort
Patio for family and holiday gatherings
In mansions and country houses, the patio represents aesthetics and harmony. This is a place where you can comfortably spend time with your family or a fun company.
Most often it is located on the back side of the house. It is desirable that it is directly adjacent to the doors. In this case, it will be convenient to take out dishes, drinks and cutlery.
The patio design features clean lines and natural materials. It houses a comfortable table with armchairs made of wicker or forged metal, complemented by soft plain pillows.

The flooring can be covered with ceramic tiles or wood panels. The patio can be open or covered. In the first option, the furniture is made from materials that are resistant to weather conditions.
However, in most cases, preference is given to closed areas. You can spend time in them even in inclement weather, enjoying relaxation and communication.
To create a unified image, the color scheme should not differ from the facade of the building.

Area in front of the house
It is the hallmark of a country cottage. Modernism involves the location of buildings close to nature. Therefore, when landscaping this area, you need to adhere to the same style of the house and the site.
The main emphasis is on the fence and gates. In this case, natural stone and metal structures are used. An area for cars to enter and a path in the gate is created.
The integrity of the landscape design should also be adhered to. If shrubs are planted in the yard, then they should also be in front of the house. Vertical gardening of coniferous trees is encouraged. At any time of the year they will delight you with their green crown.
