Grunge is not a new word in the world of interior design. For several decades, this unusual way to decorate your home has been used by everyone who wants to go beyond the generally accepted standards and strives to surround themselves with an inspiring atmosphere.
An interior in the grunge style is available to everyone and does not require large investments, however, despite the external simplicity, the implementation of such an interior still requires certain skills and adherence to basic principles. We suggest you learn about the main nuances of the grunge style and the techniques that will help you in its implementation.
Decorating residential and public buildings in such an unconventional style is very popular in the United States, however, despite the widespread belief, the birthplace of the style was not America at all. This deliberately careless, seemingly chaotic and rude style originated in the late 19th century in France. Then, among the urban aristocracy, tired of the polished social life, it became fashionable to go to the countryside and create a completely unusual entourage in their homes. It was then that a fundamentally new style was launched, the basic techniques of which were in contrast to strict classical interiors.
With the beginning of the 80s of the 20th century, the second wave of grunge popularity began, but now the style has transformed into even bolder forms. The restrained and neat picture was replaced by outright brutality: brickwork, exposed concrete, old weathered wood became the main accents of the overall composition. At this time, the style rightly began to be associated with rock culture and the relaxed lifestyle of representatives of the informal environment.
Nowadays, the grunge style is no less in demand, and it has become much easier to apply it, because today manufacturers offer a lot of stylized finishing materials and furniture. So, in one place you can buy chairs, a sofa, shelves and other furniture that match the design, whereas just a couple of decades ago you had to spend time looking for something that matched the style.
