The folk traditions of the Ukrainian way of life are reflected in the design of modern housing, decorated in this ethnic style. The entire estate in a single Ukrainian style will look especially harmonious - the architecture of the house, the interior of the premises and the surrounding area.
Characteristic features of Ukrainian architecture used in modern buildings
Nowadays, the ethnic style and traditions of the Ukrainian people are becoming quite interesting for architects. Modern houses are built from the latest materials and are equipped with all the latest technological advances necessary for a comfortable life, but their design largely depends on the hobbies and preferences of their residents. No one wants to live in a faceless standard house, each owner chooses a design to their liking. And the one who remembers his origins, surrounds himself with familiar objects and landscapes characteristic of his people, will not be mistaken at all.

A completely modern house looks very warm and cozy, the roof of which is covered with straw or reeds according to Ukrainian folk tradition, following the old technology. The walls of such a house support the style of Ukrainian mudbrick with the use of textured plaster.
Elements of Ukrainian life in the decor of a modern interior
In the Ukrainian ethnic interior style, household items are of great importance. All of them were made from natural materials and decorated with national ornaments. First of all, in the Ukrainian interior, one should pay attention to weaving and embroidery. Home-made rugs on the clay floor, on the walls and benches are made using original patterns. Embroidered towels decorate icons, nooks, walls and tables. Entire paintings were embroidered, pillows and other bed linen were decorated with embroidery. Ceramics predominate in dishes. Ukrainian potters decorate their works with bright and diverse patterns. Furniture, as well as various utensils and decorative elements, are made of wood.

Kitchen design in Ukrainian ethnic style
The kitchen, like the entire Ukrainian interior, should consist, if possible, of natural materials. Clay flooring is difficult to maintain, so let's leave it in the past. A wooden floor made of durable wood is perfect for the kitchen. This is not a cheap option, so it can be replaced with tiles that will resemble clay flooring in texture and color.
Clay walls in a Ukrainian hut were whitewashed, and in the modern version, the walls can be covered with decorative light plaster. Folk craftsmen loved to decorate the walls with bright drawings of fairy-tale birds and plant ornaments. Among the depicted plants, viburnum and sunflowers prevailed. Traditionally, red, black and white colors are used in Ukrainian ornaments, but yellow and green can be added to the plant drawings on the walls.

The ceiling in the Ukrainian interior is characterized by wooden beams, which were previously necessary, but now can only perform a decorative role, supporting the overall style. It is also better to decorate the lamps or chandelier with wooden elements so that they organically fit into the overall design of the ceiling and the entire kitchen.
It is especially pleasant to create a national flavor of the kitchen with the help of various decorative elements: patterned ceramic jugs and plates standing on shelves, bouquets of dried healing herbs, bunches of garlic and onions, towels embroidered with traditional Ukrainian ornaments, napkins, and curtains on the windows.
Bathroom with Ukrainian flavor

Ukrainian style can be brought into the bathroom by decorative towels embroidered with traditional patterns, as well as by styling the towel in the form of a wall panel made of mosaic with Ukrainian ornaments. You can decorate the tiles on the wall with a colorful frieze with a ready-made ornament. In Ukrainian embroideries, there are three main colors: red, white and black, so these colors should also prevail in the mosaic and tile ornaments in the bathroom.
Ukrainian style on the backyard plot

The Ukrainian manor also has its own unique flavor, which distinguishes it from the manors of other nations. Its main difference can be considered a wicker fence made of vines, called a tyno.
It limits the plot belonging to one family. Women hung pots on it for drying. Such a fence will give the plot a rural Ukrainian style. You can make a well in the yard, also decorated in a rural style. The decoration of the Ukrainian garden is viburnum - a beautiful tree-amulet for the family. A few sunflowers and mallows at the entrance to the house will leave no doubt that the estate is decorated in the Ukrainian ethnic style.
