The style of Ar-nuvo (or art nuvo) is one of the branches of modernity, combining the wavy lines of nature, natural ornaments and oriental motifs. Understood, Ar-Nevo faded to the background of modernity, so we decided to restore justice and give the laurels to the original and interesting style, which will be discussed in the future.
Ar-Nuvo in architecture
For the first time in the architecture of Ar-Novo, they began to actively use from the end of the 19th century. Complex, sometimes amorphous buildings dissected the heavenly surface with folded roofs, and unusual mosaics created a panorama of color that stains the rooms in all colors of the rainbow. The basis of the ar-nuvo style in architecture is the creation of the concept of a single, harmonious and natural space: flowing lines, drop-shaped shapes, rich forging of precious metals, colorful frescoes adorned the buildings of temples, churches, libraries, galleries and expensive hotels, some of which are represented in the images below.

Ar-nuvo in the interior
Actively, the ar-nouveau style in the interior has been used since the beginning of the 20th century, to this day its popularity has not faded. The interior in the style of Ar-novo does not tolerate straight lines and sharp corners: smooth and harmonious “flowing” of furniture, plant ornaments in upholstery, in paintings and figures of animals characterize this style as natural, aimed at unity with nature.
The interior of the aquarium or fountain will perfectly complement the interior, since the main component of the Ar-Nuvo is water. And the colors should be selected truly water: silver and gold-imitating the splendor of water in the sun, azure-the color of tropical water depths, as well as the marshy dark brown and black. Decorate the walls with copies of the paintings of Alfons Mukha-the brightest artist who worked in this style, and the luxury of Ar-Nuvo will become the property of your home.

Furniture in the style of ar-nuvo
Furniture ar-nuvo should be exclusively natural, made of noble wood and decorated with complex carvings. It is good to cover up upholstered furniture with silk, with a self-toned decorated natural motive. Extremely surprised your guests and embroidered pillows with brushes, forged lamps and furniture fittings. A coffee table or buffet can be decorated with glass mosaics, or poured glass with a mosaic film. In general, create in the room the effect of the pristine purity of nature, which is not touched by man and the “sun” of the art-nuvo will certainly illuminate your interior.
