Apartment interior in Arabic style. Bedroom in oriental style. Traditional hammam with benches decorated with malachite marble

The interior is arranged based on three rules:

  • compliance with the traditions of Islam;
  • observance of centuries-old traditions;
  • decorative and interior items painstakingly handmade.

An interesting feature of Arabic design is to create an environment that is richer than it actually is. Moreover, this trend will not extend to the exterior. As was already said at the beginning of the article, all luxury is hidden behind silent walls, like the beauty of veiled Eastern women.

Religion prohibits Muslims from depicting all living things, so in real Arab home interiors you will not find sculptures of people, animals or paintings. But in dwellings you can see numerous patterns with both large and small elements.

Empty surfaces for the most part are also unusual for direction. They must be decorated with patterns or paintings, often consisting of quotations from the Koran mixed with ornaments.










History of the style

Until now, experts cannot absolutely determine when the fashion for Arabic interiors began to spread among countries with other religions. The fact is that Arabs are very secretive, and besides, it is unusual for them to show off their interiors. Even tourists in an eastern country cannot always fully appreciate the homes of local residents; and staying in hotels does not always reveal the flavor. The exteriors of buildings are most often diverse, and what is behind the walls of houses is hidden from prying eyes.

The style in question was formed more than 5 centuries ago. Unlike many other trends, it has survived to this day almost in its original form, while in Europe one style replaced another. This trend is due to the conservatism of Muslims and loyalty to traditions.

In the 18th century, during the colonization of eastern countries, the fashion for their decor and interiors gradually began to penetrate into Europe. Carpets, screens, ornaments and paintings in the oriental style became popular among Europeans.
In the last century, with the development of electronic technologies, the veil was lifted even further, revealing the secrets of the Arabic style in interiors. Since that time, the fashion for oriental trends in homes began to spread even more actively throughout the world.

Its position was strengthened by series in which the East appeared. For example, the famous series “Clone,” released in 2001, demonstrated not only the way of life of Muslims, but also colorful Moroccan interiors, maximally adapted to the real homes of Arabs. The multimillion-dollar audience liked the Arabic interior design shown so much that many began to remodel their homes in an oriental style.






Main features

Let's consider the main features characteristic of Arabic design:

  • Spacious rooms with windows, partitions and arched doorways.
  • Windows are most often large and provide a lot of light.
  • Private houses have courtyards with fountains, in which rose petals often float.
  • Materials - wood, forging, textured plaster, natural stone.
  • Gilded surfaces.
  • A lot of ceramics - from tiles to small decorative items. Tile inserts can be in bedrooms not only on the walls, but also on the surface of furniture.
  • Mosaics are used on walls, steps and furniture surfaces.
  • Primary colors - red, blue, gold, emerald, brown, beige, white. You can create contrasting combinations from them.
  • Natural handmade carpets. The older the carpet, the better it is. Carpets that are several decades old are especially valued. Sometimes they are made to order. There are even sheikhs among the customers.
  • Wooden furniture with carvings and upholstery.
  • Plaster, drapery or wallpaper with a characteristic pattern are often used as wall decoration.
  • Light tulle and thick flowing curtains with lambrequin.
  • Lighting fixtures are most often made of crystal or metal with Arabic decor. They use not only central light, but also small lamps that highlight the play of colors and gilding. The lighting is made yellowish and slightly dim.
  • Stained glass windows in the form of geometric patterns.
  • A lot of natural textiles - lambrequins, canopies, decorative pillows, poufs,

Features of Arabic furniture

In the real design of rooms in the Arabic style, you may not see furniture familiar to Europeans. For example, large floor pillows or mattresses are often used instead of chairs.

The sofas and armchairs are soft and cozy. Decorative pillows with paintings are placed on the sofas. Sometimes upholstered furniture is covered with blankets. Tables are usually low, made of natural wood with carvings.










Is Arabic design popular today and who will it suit?

Designers often receive orders to implement the Arabic style in apartment interiors. This trend is not surprising, since not everyone likes the fashion for ultra-modern interiors with an abundance of plastic, metal and modern intricate decor.

It is no exaggeration to say that Arabic design is timeless, which means it will always be relevant to varying degrees. In an eastern setting, people are attracted by the depiction of the mysterious world of Muslims, their color and loyalty to traditions. After all, many are interested in what has not yet been fully explored.

Another factor in the popularity of a destination is the effect that the environment has on people. For many, Arabic design is reminiscent of oriental colorful sweets, Arabian fairy tales and the gentle warmth of summer, which in Arab countries lasts all year round. Also, the atmosphere exudes balance, tranquility, a leisurely lifestyle, the belief that everything will be as it is destined to be (Maktub) and philosophical reflections while smoking a hookah.

The style is suitable not only for Muslims, but also for those who like Arab culture, lifestyle and loyalty to traditions. The atmosphere will restrain the stormy temper of choleric people with its calmness and have a beneficial effect on phlegmatic and melancholic people, thanks to colorful colors and contrasts.

Home improvement in Arabic style

Let's consider options for implementing Arabic-style design in different rooms.

Living room

The living room, as the calling card of the house, should better embody the features of the genre. For such purposes, it is best to choose a room with large arched windows and a high ceiling.

  • Finish the walls with sand-colored plaster, make shallow arch-shaped niches in them with white edging. In the niches you can paint in the Arabic style.
  • The ceiling can also be made sand-colored, complementing it with white wooden beams.
  • Lay dark wood-colored parquet on the floor, and a natural carpet with a pattern on it.
  • If you plan to make a partition, make it in the form of stained glass windows in a natural wood frame.

Pay special attention to the sofa area. It should be comfortable and conducive to relaxation. To do this, place soft, low sofas in a calm color scheme in the shape of the letter L. Complement them with soft cushions and decorative pillows. Place a low table with wooden carvings near the sofas.

For beauty, place a ceramic vase with oriental decor or a tall metal teapot with cups on a tray on the table. Such an environment will be conducive not only to relaxation, but also to a friendly tea party. A hookah in the living room can be both part of the decor and have a practical use.











Bedroom

Arabic style bedroom design is a harmony of colors, textiles and materials. The walls can be decorated with textured peach or beige plaster, and their lower part with arabesque wood. For the ceiling, use drapery, maybe golden in color.

  • Make an arch-shaped niche with paintings in one of the walls and place a double bed with the headboard facing it.
  • Don't skimp on bedroom textiles.
  • Lay a red bedspread with an Arabic print on the bed and complement it with small decorative pillows.
  • You can also use a canopy made of translucent tulle. Attach it to a carved wooden base.
  • Lay a soft red carpet with an arabesque on the floor and, matching it, hang thick curtains with an inexpressive pattern and lambrequin on the windows.

Instead of a closet for things, it is better to use a chest of drawers, or store things in the dressing room. A chest is also suitable for such purposes.

Be sure to use wall lamps and floor lamps that provide muted yellowish light.


































Kitchen

The Arabic kitchen interior should be associated with delicious delicacies. Couscous, Turkish delight, kebabs - all this and much more can be reminiscent of the setting.

  • To decorate the walls, use ceramic tiles with emerald, turquoise, blue, yellow patterns on a light background.
  • If the predominance of such walls seems too colorful to you, cover only the sink area with patterned tiles, and plaster the remaining walls with plaster of a color characteristic of the style.
  • You can put light-colored tiles interspersed with blue tones on the floor.

The kitchen table can be chosen with a ceramic surface with arabesque, and the chairs are made of wood with carved decor and soft beige textile upholstery.

Complete the decor with decor - Arabic tea service, ceramic dishes, vases.






Bathroom

The design of a bathroom in the Arabic style is embodied by amazing mosaic compositions and arabesques on ceramic tiles. The setting is associated with hammam, oils and aromatherapy.

Mosaics can be used to decorate not only the “body” of the bathroom, but also the floor. It is advisable to cover the walls with ceramic tiles. It can be one-color, but in this case, complement it with a panel with arabesques. On the ceiling you can make stucco from Arabic patterns.

Make the surface of the cabinet with a built-in washbasin ceramic. Above the cabinet, hang a mirror in a gilded frame, and on its sides - small lamps with lampshades and forging.

Use aroma lamps and candles as decoration. They can also be used for their intended purpose.










The Arabic interior of an apartment or country house will lift the curtain on the life of Eastern people and fill the premises with coziness and tranquility, which is sometimes so lacking in everyday life.

The fabulous luxury of oriental interiors is presented in its entirety in the works of the famous Russian designer Anzhelika Prudnikova. Today we will introduce you to the best new items from the master’s portfolio.

Interior design in oriental style implies a special ethnic diversity. By copying Arab, Turkish or Moroccan traditions, the interior designer brings the atmosphere of the colorful East into your life. Of course, sometimes East Asian style is also called oriental style, but in this case we are talking about luxury, gilding and the mood of a bright Arabian palace. The main feature of this design option can be considered the presence of unique ethnic elements in the decor. It is in the little things, such as textiles, dishes, ornaments, that the true soul of this style is revealed. You may notice that there are much more small details and accents in this interior than in any other, because life in the Mediterranean or in the style of an oriental fairy tale is abundant, spectacular and promising!

Among the main features of the oriental style in the interior, we can highlight the love for large sofas and upholstered furniture, a large amount of textiles, a passion for gilding and openwork decorative elements, ornaments (for example, paisley, Arabic and Moroccan patterns), mosaics in the design of the bathroom and hammam. The oriental style absolutely does not tolerate the atmosphere of country and brutal, simple wood. Despite the fact that in some examples you can notice luxurious carved furniture (for example, in the design of a chest of drawers in the bedroom), in general this style considers wood to be far from the main finishing material.


All photos In the photo: Interior of the eastern living room, top view

The Arabian mood in the interior is also fueled by the amazing colors of the upholstered furniture. Traditionally, the background - the decoration in the interior - is made in beige and gold tones, while the accents can be very rich, noticeable and deep. Emerald, red crimson or purple look organically in a modern oriental interior.

As a result, the interior may look like a fairy-tale mosque from cartoons, so brilliant and magically beautiful that the atmosphere of something majestic is clearly felt in it. Today, Arabic and Turkish traditions work perfectly in tandem with interior design styles such as art deco and classics, so they can be combined for an even more attractive result.

Speaking about interiors in oriental style, it is worth understanding that the budget for their implementation can be quite significant.

The oriental style looks especially luxurious in those interiors where gilding is used in the design of furniture, walls and textiles!

Below we will learn about the most important and interesting ideas in interior design in this style. You will be able to appreciate its privilege and understand the need for large spaces, high ceilings and good daylight and evening lighting.

In general, the combination of oriental style and art deco is now quite popular. Thanks to the image of deliberate luxury, they form a very attractive and balanced tandem. If you want to implement similar renovations and design in your home, you should contact professionals only with experience in this area, because not every designer has the necessary skills and completed projects of this level.

It is worth recognizing that Arabic and oriental interiors in Russia are not so easy to implement. It is necessary to choose the right not only furniture, but also decorative elements, finishing materials, choose the right design for the floor, doors and windows and pay special attention to the format and range of textiles (curtains and drapes, tablecloths and even kitchen towels).

The lounge area in the Eastern tradition is a very important part of the home and is often located in several places, for example, in the living room, in the second family room, on the terrace, on the patio, off the master bedroom, in the halls of the first and second floors. Interest in large upholstered furniture and high-quality textiles is present in every corner of the house. So, it can be represented by three or two sofas, and here, as in European houses, there are no small reading corners for one or tea drinking areas for two.

The design of a hammam is usually based on the specific purpose of the room and centuries-old cultural traditions. Mosaics are used for decorative finishing. There are mosaic panels, lighting, unusual decorative inserts (for example, with gilding), and metal ethnic lamps. An important part of the hammam is the round dome, which gives this room a special mood. A qurna, a shell-shaped marble vessel intended for ablution, is always accented in the interior with a pedestal or arch with lighting and a mosaic pattern.

This small hammam is designed for 4-5 people, large - for 10-15 people. If you are planning family use, it is best to choose the first option in a country house, and the second if you want to invite guests and relatives.

Thanks to the rapprochement between Russia and Turkey in tourism and economic aspects, the Turkish style in interior design is becoming popular today. Turkish interiors are usually more modern than Arabic ones, since this country has long been part of the European community. The Turkish style has less gilding, luxury and more influence from France, the Mediterranean countries and Great Britain in design and decoration. Therefore, a restrained palette of shades is more common here than bright colors, as in the Indian style, for example.

At the same time, in the interior of a living room and bedroom in a Turkish style, plain beige walls (rather than painted or with decorative wallpaper) and upholstered furniture of the European type are more often used. All these nuances make the interior English-style aristocratic and orientally cozy. So, if you don’t like bright colors, you can easily afford an interior design in an oriental Arabic style without them!

The decorative finishing of a vaulted ceiling is a very important part of the entire design project. No less important is the format of lighting, which, thanks to modern lamps, can be made in various shades (in the original these were shades made of colored glass).

Popular interior design solutions in the Arabic style

In our review, we will look at various design techniques, including the popular paisley pattern, architectural arched vaults and trendy Arabic-style furniture.

If you want to decorate your interior according to Arabic, Turkish, Persian or any other eastern traditions, it is best to hire a professional interior designer. Correct implementation of the style requires not only theoretical knowledge, but also serious experience with such a complex interior and its corresponding materials.

The paisley pattern is a traditional Arabic decoration in the interior.


All photos In the photo: Paisley ornament in the bathroom interior

Beige and gold combined with white and black perfectly complemented the paisley pattern in this bathroom design. It is called “cucumber print” because it essentially depicts the vines of this plant with flowers and very rarely with fruits. It got its name from the Scottish city of Paisley, where its first mass production in Europe was created, but its roots lie in the Arab world. In India it is called “Turkish cucumber”, in the East - “buta”, and all Europeans call it “paisley”. This charming ornament is actively used by designers of fabrics, furniture, clothing and shoes in our time.

The modern birthplace of this ornament is considered to be ancient Persia, then it was widespread in India. Initially, the pattern was used to decorate royal dishes and clothing, but it reached ordinary people only many centuries after its inception, around the 15th century. At the same time, back in the 5th century it was discovered in East Asian culture, but in very small quantities, so it is very difficult to judge whether it was widespread enough.

Interestingly, paisley was popular in Europe in 1800-1850, and then simply went out of fashion. It received a rebirth in Europe only in the 1960s, after which it became a classic and tradition and no longer lost its significance in trendy fabric design (including for clothing, upholstery, curtains and other textiles).

The stunning hall of the author's design in the house on Novorizhskoye Highway was made by the studio of Angelika Prudnikova last year. Arched vaults and openwork decorative elements elegantly complement the interior with oriental flavor. Such a hall is not just another auxiliary room in the house, but a central element due to its location and such a formal design. In the Eastern tradition, such a hall may contain a living room for receiving guests for a cup of tea or salep.

The incredibly beautiful chandelier in the interior of this hall looks simply charming. Despite its massiveness, it is an exquisite work of art and perfectly complements the soft arched vaults with its own dynamics.

Large sofas and plenty of textiles in the living room


All photos In the photo: Living room in a country house project in an oriental style

Large sofas make the oriental style very attractive for living room design. Here you will find sofas ranging in size from 4 meters, corner and U-shaped, as well as large groups of 2, 3 and even 4 sofas with many armchairs and ottomans. Traditionally, Arab families are very large (3-4 children are not uncommon here, but almost the rule), and the rest of the family members, who live separately, constantly come to visit. Often three generations live in one house, or families of two or even three brothers and their parents all live together in one house. That is why any interior in an oriental style seems so cozy and hospitable.

The brightness inherent in the Arabic style of kitchen design is back in fashion today. Thanks to this style, you can get a mysterious and original filling of the interior.

To properly create the Arab spirit, let's explore this direction together.

The Arabic direction will help decorate the kitchen in an unusual way

The style, imbued with the Arabic spirit, differs from European variations. Arabia offers its original features:

  • Openings used for doors or windows based on this style must necessarily resemble arches, like those of mosques;
  • The ceiling is formed by a charming hemisphere;
  • It is characterized by low and squat details for the furnishings;
  • Upholstered furniture is formed by tapestries and brocades using a silk base;
  • Arabesques are a must for this style;
  • There are many, many elements created by the hands of designers.

Finishing in the Arabic style direction comes first. However, it involves the use of a limited amount of furniture.

Regarding arabesques, it is important to note that the interior formed by the Arabic style movement must necessarily include hand-drawn, mosaic ornaments of incredible images. These design elements differ in several ways:

  • They have no background because one pattern begins another;
  • Elements of the pattern have the property of frequent repetition.

Arabesques are used to provide decoration; for various surfaces they can be used to create the beauty of walls, floors and other elements of decoration.

Consider the variety of colors available in the Arabic style direction

The Arabian style helps to create a kitchen with a brightly highlighted warmth of the applied color schemes. Let's determine the most successful color directions:

  • the golden beige shade is very good for this occasion;
  • orange colors together with yellow shades;
  • crimson color in combination with pink is very suitable;
  • red color is used;
  • there is a place to use emerald green.

Arabic style kitchen layout

Typically a set based on linear shapes is used. And island ones installed in the food preparation area are also allowed. The dining area is characterized by the use of a low dining table or a soft corner option.

Partitions help to successfully separate the multifunctional contents of the kitchen into the living or dining areas. Typically, partitioning elements are stylized with oriental motifs or forged decorative grilles.

The right setting for an Arabic style kitchen

Arab peoples noticeably distance themselves from the use of high-sized furniture. Tables or different versions of chairs are not necessary here, as they are replaced by shallow tea tables or cushions that help create a seating area for people.

However, various furniture formed by Arabic motifs expresses many modern features.

In the dining area, rectangular tables are used, characterized by low dimensions, and the same chairs. They are usually formed by wood.

To form a set in this style direction, a wooden base is also used. The fronts of this product are filled with a generosity of inserts with the addition of carvings and even inserts. But the tabletop is usually made of stone or using glass.

Arabic style finishing for the kitchen

Regular walls in this direction are formed by mosaics. But there are other options used for this direction:

  • painting on surfaces covered with plaster or paint is especially respected;
  • although coating with plaster may not imply the subsequent use of painting or paint;
  • cladding with carved and cork versions of wood panels is used;
  • Wallpapering is done using a silk base.

The flooring is designed more rigidly, since only stone-based coatings are allowed. It can be completely covered with carpets, but it is advisable to cover it with natural stones.

But now it is difficult to use real stone, which is why it is being replaced with tiles and porcelain tiles based on stylized images. In addition, ceramic mosaics are often used to create a beautiful floor.

It is important to realize that the true Arabic style for a modern kitchen is quite difficult to organize. But at least stylizing this room in an Arabic style is quite a feasible task. It is important to ensure that the required materials or accessories are used correctly.

The interior in the Arabic style is the luxury of the East, the comfort of the furnishings and the richness of the color scheme, grace and splendor, the embodiment of sweet bliss and pleasant dreams.

Features of the Arabic style

  1. Arabic design stands out from others due to its religious component. The Holy Quran prohibits the presence of sculptures and picturesque images of people and animals in the design of a home. Therefore, when decorating premises, mosaic graphics, patterns of geometric lines and shapes, exquisite and complex ornaments are used, and floral themes are successfully used.
  2. The panels on the walls are made in square, diamond or hexagonal shapes, even the carpets and floor tiles are decorated with combinations of geometric shapes. The room must have a clearly marked and decorated center.
  3. The most popular architectural forms of the Arabic style are the sphere and the semicircle, combined into complex structures, resulting in exquisite arches and majestic window openings.
  4. By tradition, it does not imply the presence of familiar doors. The space is delimited by curtains, arches and semi-arches, colonnades.
    Arabic design implies a certain privacy, so it does not have the trendy European open floor plans.

Decoration Materials

▫ The ceiling is decorated with paintings, multi-stage structures or decorative panels. Multi-level illuminated or hanging mosaic coverings are successfully used.


▫ The walls are painted or wallpapered. When painting, one color is used or intricate oriental script is applied to wet plaster. The wallpaper should have a geometric or floral pattern, imitation fabric.
▫ Floors are usually finished with tiles or mosaics. The tile size is usually small, 10x10 cm or less.
▫ Wood is used to decorate window and door openings. Timber frames, shutters and grilles add a special accent to the room.
To live in a house decorated in a truly Arabian style, you need to have a special worldview. The East is bliss, a calm rhythm of life, comfort, the slow passage of time, which is hardly possible in the modern world. Therefore, the Arabic style in the interior requires a respectful and careful attitude, the introduction of certain philosophical and religious traditions and rituals into life.
