Although the Chalet style is considered rustic, it has now firmly entered urban aesthetics due to its nobility and originality. Despite some roughness and rusticity, this style is very popular among wealthy people who strive to create a cozy and simultaneously refined living space, sparing no expense. Creating a home reminiscent of a ski resort dwelling is a cherished dream of many affluent individuals.

 

I should start by saying that the “chalet” style is primarily intended for a country house located in the mountains, as it perfectly suits the winter, northern aesthetic. Often, it is a rather large and opulent house, but a small villa can also be furnished in this style.

 

Great attention is paid not only to creating interiors but also to the facade of the house, as the “chalet” style has its own unique image – the lower part of the house should be made of stone, and the upper part of wood. Originally, the word “chalet” referred to shepherd’s houses in the mountainous areas of the Alps, and such a house always had this structure. Almost always, these houses had a large gabled roof with an attic, constructed from logs and timber.

 

This is, so to speak, the classic interpretation of the image. However, if approached creatively and freely, a city apartment or even just one room can be decorated in the “chalet” style.

 

Therefore, this style has once again become fashionable and is gaining popularity, as with the advent of modern building materials, it can be achieved for a relatively small amount of money.

 

Here are some features of creating an interior in the “chalet” style:

  • An abundance of stone and wood in the interior;
  • A certain “fairy-tale” quality of the setting, where even the smallest details are carefully thought out;
  • Finishing with natural materials or their high-quality imitation;
  • Wooden ceilings, sometimes it’s enough to use only wooden ceiling beams;
  • Large wooden windows;
  • A mandatory fireplace in the interior of the living room or bedroom.
