Color of Upholstered Furniture in Ethnic Style – How to Furnish a Room
If you choose furniture and accessories based on national traditions, culture, and authenticity, you are adhering to the ethnic style. There are more than 20 styles, each with its distinctive features. The folkloric genre in room decoration consists of several components:
- Color of upholstered furniture
- Geometry of cabinets, tables, and chairs
- Materials
- Lighting
- Patterns and finishes
- Interior details and attributes
Let's look at the most popular ethnic styles in bedroom decoration in terms of choosing the color of upholstered furniture within the overall interior.
American Style
This style is characterized by freedom and functional zoning of space. It is suitable for rooms starting from 35 sq.m with high ceilings and panoramic windows. In American bedrooms, there is often direct access to the bathroom.
Furniture: massive. Separate relaxation zones with a TV, heavy armchairs, and coffee tables are used. Comodes, built-in wardrobes, and wide bedside tables match the style.
Materials: natural wood, leather, metal.
Lighting: spot lighting. Floor lamps, sconces, and pendant lights are used to zone the room into functional areas.
Furniture colors: dark shades of brown for cabinets and tables. Light gray, coffee, and sandy shades are chosen for the upholstery of upholstered furniture.
Prints and ornaments: solid fabrics, wide stripes, "salt and pepper" (a pattern of small dark and light dots created by interweaving threads), Pepita pattern, or houndstooth.
A bed for an American bedroom should be wide, on low, sturdy wooden legs. The room's size allows for the installation of several built-in wardrobes, so a lifting mechanism is not relevant in this case. To ensure the headboard does not deviate from the overall style, it should be voluminous. The use of button tufting and quilting is appropriate.
