PRINCIPLES OF APPLYING CLASSICAL AND NATIONAL HISTORICAL STYLES IN CONTEMPORARY INTERIOR DESIGN

Abstract

This article explores the principles and methodological foundations for integrating classical and national historical styles into contemporary interior design. The relevance of the study is обусловлена the growing need to preserve local cultural identity within the context of global design trends. The research aims to identify scientifically grounded principles for adapting elements of historical styles to modern interior environments. To achieve this objective, comparative analysis, graphical-analytical methods, case study approaches, and design modeling techniques were employed.

The results indicate three primary approaches to integrating historical elements: transformational integration (modification of form), stylization (preservation of decorative characteristics), and conceptual integration (based on underlying ideas and spatial principles). The study reveals that classical interiors are characterized by central symmetry and vertical dominance, whereas contemporary interiors tend to favor asymmetrical compositions and open-plan layouts. From an ergonomic perspective, the direct application of historical elements is not always optimal.

Design-based findings demonstrate that successful integration can be achieved through the simplification of decorative elements, the preservation of material contrast, and the proper organization of spatial hierarchy. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the development of a three-stage structural model for integrating historical style elements. The practical significance is reflected in providing designers with methodological guidance for the harmonious application of classical and national motifs in modern interior environments.
