Nina is sure: the secret of her success lies in the fact that when she decorates someone's house, she leaves her own ambitions at the door and listens carefully to the desires and tastes of her clients. Works strictly within the allotted budget. She does not get distracted by details and does not start selecting individual items, for example, carpets, or until she understands what her design setting is: goals, priorities, constraints. He knows how and loves to mix classics and modernity, because this is the only way to create a timeless interior. But most importantly, Nina Campbell knows how to ask questions very concretely and answer them very concretely. Try it and you will use this scheme. Tip 1. Before changing the interior, ask yourself a few questions
Tip 2. Questions for each room
“I never sacrifice comfort for aesthetics. And I try to bring to every room even a drop of irony. ”Council 3. Do not be afraid to combine incompatible things. I don’t like rooms that look like showrooms. The interior should be light "curvature". Eclecticism is much more fun than strictly sustained historical style. If you feel that this is yours, then this is acceptable. The only thing I can not accept is dirty or broken things. Untidy bed is terrible. It’s totally unacceptable for me to go to bed without a bed in the morning. Council 4. Do not overdo it with red and white. There is not enough heat and light in your northern latitudes. But to paint all the rooms in one red and white paint is not the best way. The red interior will be more like a bloody blockbuster. One red room is enough. This may be a hallway or office. As for the lack of light, I am sure that such rooms cannot be saved with white paint. In order to somehow enliven the space, it is better to use rich colors. If the trees outside the window are bare for most of the year, hang red and orange curtains. They let the light in, coloring everything around in warm colors, so even in winter it seems that the summer sun is shining in the rooms. Tip 5. To change the interior with the minimum efforts will help the correct accessories. I select pillows, braid, lampshades and other accessories for the house just as I would choose shoes or a handbag for the costume. Correct shoes can completely change your look - and vice versa, if you are wearing the wrong shoes, you will feel old-fashioned even in a very beautiful dress. Pay more attention to home accessories, do not keep faded pillows for years if it's time to throw them away. If you are very fond of any bright fabric, then consider whether it can not be used in small interior items, such as pillows or chairs, where it will look less intrusive than, say, on sofas or as curtains. Another advantage of accessories is that they are easy to change. From June 1 to July 1, 2008, in the Ecoestate Pavlovskaya Sloboda settlement near Moscow, one could look at the house decorated by the English decorator Nina Campbell in all details. Of course, we took the opportunity to show you this interior. 
Opposites stretch to each other: the old and the new, the traditional and the folk, the East and the West.
Pattern on the wallpaper and porcelain figures echo and complement each other. Such compositions enrich the interior.
Well, when in the living room and there is a ceiling light, and floor lamps, and sconces. Each sofa and armchair should have its own light source.
In the living room must be dominant. For example, a fireplace. The family often gathers in this room, so it is here that family heirlooms are kept. I have this chair, inherited from my father. As a child I loved climbing with them. If the room has a high window, do not close it with a lambrequin.
Mirrors are very refreshing interior, but you need to be careful with them. It is better to separate them into frames.
Guest bedroom or bathroom - the perfect springboard for decorating experiments. Here you can use very bright colors and extravagant forms.

The stairs are the perfect place for a home art gallery. Top spotlights look bad on stairs. It is better to use the lower light.
Red is also great for the hall and is associated with a warm welcome.
Starting point for creating this interiorbecame the jade Buddha. The wooden panels are covered with glossy green paint that blends perfectly with the black and white marble floor. In the hallway is very important to give a "powerful charge" of energy.
