In old times in the winter in the European capitals ice palaces appeared. They looked magnificently, about them wrote fairy tales and legends, but it was impossible to live in such houses. Now the owner of the apartment has opportunity to create at home fantastic situation, and the dwelling can become not only beautiful and refined, but also convenient.
What to build the ice palace of?
Modern interior designers offer many options of use of glass in the apartment. It both glass floors, and interroom partitions from glass blocks, and furniture, and decorative elements. Of course, there is no sense to turn all apartment into the palace of the Snow queen – such option of registration of interior is not suitable for the nursery or the bedroom, it is intended first of all for the living room. It is possible to finish all room or its separate corners in ice style. It will be necessary for you: - glass floor;
- glass blocks for partitions; - glass cabinets with illumination;
- glass doors; - stained-glass windows.
Glass floor
Producers and designers offer several options of registration of floor glass. It can be, for example, glass tapes on perimeter. It is possible to cover with glass panels certain sites (for example if in the room there are niche or the remade loggia). Interestingly also glass impregnations on all room look while other spaces are covered with other material. Nothing prevents to cover with glass plates all floor and to make illumination LED lamps. On glass even tiny spots and motes, of course, are very well visible, but it is far easier to keep such floor in order, than parquet or linoleum.
What to do with ceiling?
It is hardly worth pasting glass panels on ceiling. But you can put hinged ceilings with the transparent or translucent invoice. Over panels it will be possible to arrange lamps with LED lamps. They will create unique play of light and shadow. The ceiling will be perfectly in harmony with glass panels.
Glass walls
Once partitions from glass blocks put only in the stairwell. They looked very modestly. Now glass blocks became fashionable material. Producers offer many options of such blocks – various flowers, forms and the sizes. Not all owners of apartments have opportunity to issue "under ice" all walls in the living room. Most often it is necessary to be limited to one partition – that which is not bearing. Other walls can be made mirror, at one – to put huge aquarium, etc. Glass doors are suitable for such room, the benefit in their shops is a lot of. If the apartment two-storeyed, prevents to establish nothing glass ladder on the second floor.
Furniture
Of course, even in the ice living room there has to be upholstered furniture. It is better if sofas and chairs are light. As a last resort, it is possible to sew on them light covers. Brilliant materials, like brocade will approach. However, now it is possible to find in shops also rather inexpensive fabrics with lurex. As for cabinets, you will find many models in furniture stores and catalogs of online stores from normal or plexiglass. They can be made with illumination too. In such cabinets products from crystal, pictures from paper in the equipment of kirigama, figurine will well look. Windows and doors can be decorated with stained-glass windows.
