Interior design ideas

The fashion for the Russian interior, occurred in 80th years, is still actual. It is characteristic, that many people, choosing for office modern design and houses prefer Russian national style.???? For understanding the sense of this type of interior it is necessary to recollect the history of Russian interior.
During many centuries fires remained the real disaster for Russia. Ancient city building was almost entirely wooden, and the casual spark of candle was enough for the fire. Besides down to the end of XV century a sad reality was aggravated by constant attacks of the Tatars, who plundered Russian cities and villages and withdrawn a chain of captives with them. Attacks, as a rule, were accompanied by fires. in XIV-XVI centuries Moscow burnt out almost completely on the average each seven years, and about small fires – on one street or quarter – it is not even worth of mentioning.
The life went in a mode of a constant pressure. It is natural, that the person who went to bed half-dressed and always kept the weapon near to the pillow, every minute expecting an alarm announcing a fire or invasion, had rather original, to our measures, representations about comfort and convenience. Russian interior – perhaps as any another in the world – has been noted by the compelled functionality.
Houses were basically built of tree: air in them was more chilly and healthier, and it was much easier to heat them. Even when the basic part of the house was stone, the top, inhabited floor was wooden. Walls, as a rule, left timbered. Only in very rich families and in a grand-ducal or imperial palace premises could be decorated with canvas or cloth, and smart halls were plastered and decorated with lists on religious plots or flower ornament.
