Style story
For a long time, designers carefully followed the strict canons of certain styles, without violating their rules and without going beyond. Only by the 80s did the mixture of seemingly incompatible trends and the implementation of non-standard ideas begin. Fusion style in architecture and interior has been loved by many for its expressiveness and still continues to delight creative people.
In the photo - a mix of modern, classic and retro style. The black fireplace, which gives the atmosphere mystical features, deserves special attention.
Features
Fusion, fusion (from the English fusion, "alloy", "fusion") is a term included in the name of various directions in architecture and art, which combine opposing ideas from multidirectional styles, but do not lose harmony.
- You need to be able to break the rules, therefore, when creating an interior in fusion style, it is important not to turn the apartment into a bunch of different things. The situation should look complete and not cause a feeling of dissonance.
- In the interior, you can combine not only elements of different styles: here you can see objects from all kinds of cultures and eras.
- Fusion will appeal to sensual, open and courageous people. Emotionality is in the first place here - the main thing is what sensations the surrounding space evokes, what mood it gives.

Colors
Interior design in fusion style is always colorful, contrasting. Even if the main background is pastel colors, the atmosphere is diluted with bright expressive accents. The color scheme can be very diverse - from ultramarine to lemon, from scarlet to grass. Gray and brown colors are also appropriate, but more often than not they are basic.
Choosing a palette, you need to know the measure: the design of rooms in fusion style is rich in textures and colors, but does not accept randomness.

Also successfully used black color, which gives contrast, and white, which helps to organize and combine several shades. Gold and chrome elements add a touch of sparkle and chic.
Materials and finishes
Fusion style in the interior can be called the opposite of minimalism. In the decoration of the walls, the use of several materials at once is welcomed: paint and brick, wallpaper and plaster, decorative stone and wooden panels.
Textured walls, unlike other styles, do not act as accents, but fill the entire area. Sometimes wallpapers serve as a backdrop, but often the opposite happens: bright canvases with prints or a fresco form the basis of the entire interior in fusion style.

The original design is inherent not only to the walls, but also to the ceilings. In fusion interiors, you can see unexpected solutions in the form of black, textured, slatted and multi-tiered ceilings, as well as surfaces painted in the same color as the walls.
Least of all fusion attention is paid to flooring, since its role is to balance the interior. The most common coating is wood and its analogues.Emphasis on the floor is made only if the walls and ceiling are not active enough. In other situations, balance must be maintained.

Lighting
Light is one of the effective tools that can emphasize the fusion style. Chandeliers, sconces, table lamps and floor lamps not only carry a utilitarian function, but also decorate the atmosphere. Spotlights and spots complement multi-level lighting.

Furniture selection
Boring wood-like cabinets, typical armchairs and chairs? Not here! Somewhere elegant, somewhere too catchy - furniture in fusion style seems to be called to serve as a means of self-expression of the owner. Multi-colored lockers and elegant dining groups, antique or specially made-up suites, chests, wicker chairs and sofas with a carriage screed - you can combine everything you especially like and enjoy the choice.

Decor and Textile
The main difference between style and others is individuality. It easily coexists with works of art and graffiti, vintage elements and modern technology. There are collections on open shelves, and various paintings and posters adorn the walls. But the most important thing is that each element has its own history or reflects the character of its owner.
In the photo there is a small attic, the decoration of which is designed in monochrome colors. The accents are colored pillows and decor.
Various types of textiles are used as cozy additions: cotton bedspreads, soft knitted blankets, fur capes. Pillows and curtains are often decorated with an unusual print. Carpets can be self-woven, with Arabic motifs. There are also animal skins - on the floor or bed. As you can see, even textiles have a texture, but smooth shiny fabric is a rare guest here.
Photos in the interior of the apartment
Now let's see how fans of the "mixed" style decorate their homes.
Fusion style kitchen
White remains the most popular color for the kitchen, and even in such a controversial style it is often chosen as the main one. In small rooms this is also practical, since light shades visually increase the space and create a feeling of cleanliness. But what is really hard to come across in fusion kitchens is monotony. Kitchen sets, as a rule, are combined from two colors, the facades are decorated with ornate handles, make up patterns from tiles on an apron or use ready-made curly products.
The budget (and beloved by many) method remains the combination of chairs for a dining group that are different in color and design. The walls are decorated with paintings and even mirrors.

Fusion style bedroom interior
The bedroom is the most modest place in the apartment of the "mixed" style. The walls here are the backdrop for bright furniture, and do not draw attention to themselves. In the bedroom, you want to relax, so few people will like the flashy finish.

Fusion style in the interior of the living room
The guest room is the place where the interior of the apartment in fusion style is revealed in all its glory. Multi-colored carpets, soft sofas with an abundance of pillows, a combination of textures in the decoration of walls and ceilings - everything that suits the owner of the apartment is appropriate. Not only reckless mess.
A special role in the hall is given to the fireplace, which occupies a central place in the room. Many designers take it as the basis on which to build the entire interior.
Bathroom Ideas
It would seem that the bathroom is not a place where you can show imagination and combine many textures.But even if the area is limited, nothing prevents you from painting one or several walls in rich colors, adding a couple of paintings, choosing a bright shower curtain and laying an original rug.
Kids room design
In a bedroom or a playroom for a child, the design in fusion style suggests itself. It is worth taking a bit of everything from different directions, adding rich colors - and the room will delight with its inspiring atmosphere. But you should know the measure, because the situation in the nursery affects the formation of taste in the child.
