Styles can be different, but almost all of them have an ethnic direction: Provence, Russian hut, Mediterranean, Oriental, etc. All of them suggest the presence of products made of wood or other natural materials- rattan, bamboo. These elements are present both in the design of walls and ceilings and in furniture. Then everything will look harmonious.

If we talk about the color scheme, then these are mainly soft pastel colors, which are closest to the colors of nature. Why mostly? Because a few bright spots of color are not only tolerated, but desirable. They bring the picture to life without disturbing the overall harmony.

How to equip a veranda: choosing a style

How do you choose the style that best suits your occasion? First of all, the location affects the choice of style. If it faces north or east, the British colonial style will look better. It includes a rocking chair as a must-have attribute, as well as rattan wicker furniture.

Wicker furniture- this is an attribute of suburban life. Very functional and comfortable, at the same time it does not weigh down or clutter up the space

If you want to completely recreate such an interior, you can lay out a fireplace. On a closed veranda, it will also serve to heat it. It can be fired up at dusk on cool evenings. When creating the interior, do not forget about the only main wall in this room: the decoration of the veranda also includes its design. The wall is often painted in the prevailing tone, sometimes, if it is appropriate and fits into the idea, it is trimmed with stone.

So that a decent area is not empty, shelves, holders for flowers, decorative elements - panels, lamps can be hung on it.

If the veranda faces south or east, there will be many sunlight... It is good to arrange such rooms in the "Provence" style. It is characterized by beams on the ceiling, natural furniture in light colors with some color accents. The curtains are selected very light translucent. Of the furniture, besides chairs, there is a table, there may be flowers in pots and vases.

The design of the veranda in the style of "Provence" can be different: very prim and very rustic

The style itself is very diverse and can be "ceremonial", prim and very sophisticated, or rural. In the photo on the right, this "rural" part of it is greatly exaggerated, but the interior benefits from this.

This is also a Provence style. And so, too, you can decorate your veranda

Always in vogue at any time: the elements different styles, deliberate negligence, which hides delicate calculation and careful processing. Ostromoden recently Decorating a veranda in this style will require you to show your imagination and unusual techniques.

In order not to make a mistake, and get your hand filled, practice on some other piece of the wall, for example, in a shed or shed. When the idea is exactly formed and what you got is satisfactory for you, you can apply the acquired skills on the main wall.

As you probably understood, the main task when decorating a veranda is not to overload the room too much. It is usually small, and there should be few items here. Therefore, furniture is carefully chosen: so that it is not bulky, comfortable and reliable.

If you are not happy with all the traditional styles, you can try decorating your veranda in a modern one. From the same materials and furniture, but in a different combination and layout, you can get a completely different interior. For example, support columns can be made, as in the photo below, to arrange low modern furniture. The railing is of the same style (as shown), possibly made of tempered glass or polycarbonate.

The whole highlight of this veranda interior country house- in an unusual design of columns and fences

Almost the same veranda is played out in a different way: the columns are clad in stone, the same decoration is repeated on the walls of the house.

Veranda furniture

Veranda is a resting place. And rest assumes the presence of armchairs and chairs. If you are decorating a summer cottage, then it is not at all necessary to buy new ones. Such summer dwellings are good because you can put old chairs in them, just transform them: repaint them in an unusual color or sew covers. They are transformed instantly, and give the room a cosiness. What is most attractive about this solution: it is easy to change the color, and therefore the atmosphere in the room. How .

Likewise, you can transform old armchairs and couches. Only in addition to the new cover, you will have to make a lot of pillows. Nothing invites you to rest like a low small sofa or a cozy armchair covered with pillows.

Separately, it should be said about tables and tables. If it is supposed to eat on the veranda, you cannot do without a dining, albeit a small table, as well as without chairs or benches near it. If this is only a seating area with low couches (as in the photo above), then the table is placed low, the table top is on the same level with the seats.

They also put solid sofas, but only the area should be appropriate. Remember that the room cannot be overloaded with furniture. And although the light colors of the upholstery can slightly improve the situation, there should not be too much furniture: there are sofas, so there are no chairs, maybe only one or two, or a rocking chair.

Traditional pieces of furniture are everything. Can also be used, which are hung on the wall of the building. If there is a blank end wall, it can be turned into a shelf on which to arrange all the little things you need on vacation.

Flowers in the interior of the veranda

The design of the veranda in the country may include flowers or potted plants. In the summer there are probably a lot of them under the window, but their presence inside will not worsen the situation at all.

Putting a flowerpot on a separate stand in the form of a small column is far from a summer cottage solution, but making a forged stand or attaching several flowerpots on racks - everyone can do it

Curtains

It is possible to use curtains for open verandas only if the overhang of the roof is very long - more than half a meter. Then summer showers will not stain them too much. There are no such restrictions in closed verandas. In the photo below, the fabric is additionally protected by the columns. If necessary, the curtains are stretched over a baguette nailed to the ceiling. A great way to isolate yourself from everyone if you want privacy.

There are two approaches when choosing a color:

• repeating the tone of the accent color, as in the photo above;
• light, light, translucent, which will not burden the interior.

Light colored verandah curtains are easiest to match. With them, finishing the veranda will not be problematic. You need to choose the right fabric. Synthetic fibers are more suitable here: they are less capricious in their care and, despite the fact that they are synthetic, they let air through well.

The dark veranda finish is accentuated by light, light curtains. Reception is proven, it almost always works perfectly. This design will appeal to those who love oriental motives in decoration: mats on the ceiling, low furniture ...

Less romantic, but no less attractive roller blinds or Roman. Ceremonial fabrics are useless here, but something more practical is very useful: the daytime illumination is easy to regulate, the wind hardly flutters them.

For open verandas, you can use bamboo curtains. They are not afraid of rain. They will not protect from splashes at all, but the amount of water that has got inside, as well as the wind, will be significantly reduced. Bamboo curtains can rightfully be called "street".

For those who want to fully protect the open extension from precipitation, there are PVC film curtains. They are sewn like awnings for cars, only transparencies are mainly used. Their tailoring must be ordered by accurately measuring the required dimensions.

Veranda lighting

Decorating the veranda is not complete without lighting. For open verandas, lamps are used that belong to the "street" class. They have increased water resistance and higher impact resistance. The protection class of such lighting equipment cannot be lower than IP44. It is indicated on a sticker on the back of the lamp or in the passport. Devices with lower protection can be used in a closed glazed veranda, while outdoors, the numbers should be at least 44 (45, 55 more are possible).

They may have different angle scattering: create a directed stream of light or diffused. There they are different colors, sizes. During the day they are practically invisible, they do not decorate the interior in any way, but they do not spoil it either. But at night everything changes.

Outdoor veranda lighting is often done on the railing. Here you can install both lamps with conventional or economy lamps, and LED. Craftsmen can generally mount LED lighting into the railings themselves.

Often, lamps for the veranda are mounted on the wall of the house. It is convenient: there is no need to pull the wiring far and there are usually no problems with installation. To make the lighting more even, several pieces of the same style can be installed on columns or on the ceiling. In the area that needs to be better illuminated. In the photo below, this is a table. Above it, in addition to wall-mounted, ceiling light sources have been added.

An interesting effect is created by the lamps on the columns, directed inward. They sort of cut off the darkness outside the illuminated area, creating a sense of privacy. Such veranda lighting is simple to do: put directional spotlights or other similar lighting devices.

It is possible to correctly design the veranda design in a private house, subject to certain conditions and understanding of the style. We will understand the nuances of the design without touching on radical construction aspects, such as reconstruction or.

Let's dwell on the architectural balance of the interior and exterior in the design of a country veranda, its purpose, what types, types and features of the decor are. We will generously illustrate all this with pictures and photographs.

Veranda design in the country - do it yourself

Veranda - what is it? Residential premises, outbuildings, buildings, structures, capital structures or not?

Veranda is an open or glazed room attached to or built into a building. The insulated version of the glazed veranda allows the owners to significantly expand the boundaries of the house, thus obtaining additional living space that can perform the functions:

• dining room;
• living room;
• kitchens;
• winter garden;
• libraries;
• bathroom;
• playroom for children;
• work cabinet;
• rooms for creativity.

The open veranda is a comfortable space for summer outdoor recreation. Blown by the breeze and protected from the sun, this extension is a kind of oasis of coolness at the summer cottage. But it is in demand only in good weather, because due to its design features, it cannot resist the whims of nature.

The design of the country veranda, both open and closed, must correspond to the part of the house to which the veranda is planned to be attached. The best place for a veranda is a green backyard with good overview to the garden. But if with the help of the veranda they want to improve the heat-technical characteristics of the house or its architectural forms, then the extension is "joined" to one of the sides of the facade or encircle the house completely.

The history of the veranda and the origin of the name

Without knowing the past, it is difficult to understand the present. The roots of the word "veranda" are Persian, literally it translates as "portico, gallery". Verandas - large in area winter gardens with a certain microclimate, were built in Russia during the reign of Peter I. They rested on the verandas, held social events. In the 19th century, glazed verandas attached to the living quarters expanded the garden and park space of the palace. Only the shapes, glazing methods, roofing materials and the design of the veranda changed.

With the advent of plastic double-glazed windows and new metal structures, the range of functionality of detached and attached verandas has expanded significantly. In addition to the most used form of the veranda - a rectangle, other forms, such as a triangle, square, semicircle, trapezoid, etc., began to be actively used in summer cottages. Open verandas began to actively darken with the help of vertical gardening, and closed ones were placed relative to the cardinal points and give them a special style.

Only the idea of ​​the veranda as a harmonious continuation of the main structure remained unchanged - the materials used in the design should not sharply discord with the facade of the house. For example, the design of the veranda in wooden house assumes wood materials. If you plan to use brick, metal or glass in the decoration, then only as an accent. A house made of wood with a veranda, the walls of which are sheathed with plastic clapboard, looks ridiculous. And vice versa, in a house, the facade of which is designed in high-tech or constructivism style, a veranda made of glass, plastic and metal will correspond to it 100%.
