"Hi-tech" - modern style of new technologies in the interior

The life of megalopolises dictates its own rules, putting practicality and functionality in the first place. The modern high-tech style embodies them in a laconic interior that embodies high technology.

The foreign hi-tech direction came to us from England. The 1980s saw a peak in the popularity of science fiction literature in this country. At first, this was reflected in architecture, where a new unusual direction appeared.

Then, thanks to the architect Norman Foster, the trends of the future came to the design of the premises. Clarity of lines, cold shine of metal, ideal proportions and maximum ergonomics immediately attracted the attention of the public.

Hi-tech is now one of the most popular styles. It is especially close to those who value their time, love comfort, an abundance of light and space. High-tech is ideal for owners of studio apartments and other small-sized housing. Wherein he is also good in large country mansions... The emphasis on the latest technologies and modern materials emphasizes the status, looks stylish and even luxurious in its own way.

The main feature of this style is the saving of space due to its rational arrangement with the help of modern technical means. Hi-tech does not tolerate negligence. The style must be observed in all respects:

• Simplicity and clarity of geometry in the organization of space;
• An abundance of chrome-plated metal, transparent and frosted glass, plastic elements;
• Use of transforming and built-in lighting furniture;
• Lack of unnecessary details, decoration of the room with avant-garde decorative elements in small quantities;
• The use of sliding doors, often made of glass.

The result is a very simple yet stylish minimalist interior. To some, the severity and consistency of style seems too businesslike, and the apartment, decorated in this way, resembles an office.

For those who value functionality, prefer pure monochrome colors, sparkling gloss and transparent textures, hi-tech is ideal.

When creating a high-tech design project, you need to decide what materials will be required for repairs.

The walls of a room in this style are usually covered with matte or glossy paint. Sometimes inserts made of plastic, aluminum, flexible stone are used. It is also allowed to use tiles with imitation metal or glass wall panels.

Floor finishing can be done in different ways. It can be porcelain stoneware, laminate or parquet. In the spacious hall, you can make a podium with LED illumination. Self-leveling floors are also popular. Variants with a 3D effect allow you to realize very interesting ideas.

The principle of choosing materials for high-tech style is based on their reliability, strength, resistance to chemical, physical and mechanical stress. Wallpaper, stucco molding, natural wood panels are not suitable for such an interior.

The hi-tech style is based on the classic black and white color scheme. Gray and silver tones are also actively used.

In addition to cold colors, beige and brown shades are allowed. They can be used by those who are uncomfortable among the icy shine of metal and restraint of gray tones.

Expressive color combinations compensate for the lack of any patterns and prints. Although it's worth noting that bright elements are usually absent in the bedroom. This is due to elementary logic, because juicy shades do not contribute to relaxation and good rest.

To enhance the effect of spaciousness and harmony of colors, high-tech rooms are well lit. Numerous lamps in an apartment can have different shapes.

High-tech furniture is comfortable and functional. It is distinguished by its laconic design, clear lines and airy construction. Such interior items do not clutter up the space, providing freedom of movement inside the room and visually increasing its area.

Instead of walls, separate elements for storing things (floor and hanging) are used in the living room. Closed shelves, cabinets and shelves are usually rectangular or square. Sometimes the design is complemented by tinted glass inserts and lighting.

Cabinets are usually built-in. The use of transforming furniture with remote control is practiced. Transparent glass tables add lightness to the setting. Glossy and mirrored facades of interior items reflect light, visually expanding the room. Chromed steel elements are used for finishing.

The kitchen is also dominated by metal, plastic and glass. Laconic kitchen sets often don't even have visible handles, presenting a sleek, minimalist design. All appliances must be built in.

If the size of the room allows, the kitchen is equipped with a bar counter with metal bar stools. The dining table can be made of metal combined with plastic or glass. Tablecloths, oilcloths, decorative napkins are unacceptable here.

There is an unspoken rule in the bedroom regarding the number of pieces of furniture. There shouldn't be more than five of them. Usually it is a bed, bedside table, TV, lamp, built-in wardrobe. Another combination is also possible.

In such an interior, there are often models of beds with a floating effect and bottom lighting. The sleeping place seems to hang in the air, enhancing the atmosphere of the technologies of the future.

The main decoration of the high-tech room is modern technology and all kinds of gadgets. This emphasizes the design features of the style and speaks of the high standard of living of the owners of the house, because "smart" technology makes life as comfortable as possible.

Original vases made of transparent or frosted glass, abstract paintings in black and white, avant-garde figurines can act as secondary decorative elements.

In addition to beauty and aesthetic pleasure, it will give calmness, relaxation and relaxation.

Original table lamps and tall floor lamps fulfill two functions at the same time - practical and decorative. They are usually placed next to soft furnishings to provide additional lighting when reading books or magazines.

There are almost no textiles in this style. The only exceptions are curtains and throw pillows.... For window decoration, blinds or shutters with remote control can be used. Cloth curtains on an electric cornice are also acceptable.

The color of the products is selected in a calm color scheme. Unlike other styles, where curtains are decoration that should stand out against the background of the walls, in this case the opposite is true. The material should be monochromatic; match with the shade of walls or furniture is encouraged.

If a bright color is already used in the room (in the form of wall panels, a lamp or some kind of interior item), then the color of the pillows is matched to them. Excessive color in this style is unacceptable. Against the background of a neutral scale, no more than two juicy shades can stand out.

Sometimes the walls are decorated with modern paintings or black and white photographs under glass, with or without metal frames. It can be a panorama of the city, some kind of artistic photo or images of your family members. The latter option can make the room especially cozy.

A spacious hall with snow-white upholstered furniture is transformed by red decorative panels. The room immediately takes on a dynamic look and bright personality. Orange pillows are successfully combined with the chosen color scheme, completing the design idea.

Turquoise accents in black and white interiors are a great solution. The room visually becomes even more spacious and seems to be filled with oxygen, because turquoise in combination with white creates a pleasant feeling of freshness.

Those who prefer warm colors do not have to give up the modern interior design. Beige and brown also go well with this style. The main thing is the consistency of forms and the correct organization of space.

An illuminated podium bed is a great choice for a bedroom. A TV, a bedside table and a small shelving unit make up the optimal set of elements for a comfortable stay.Panoramic windows fit perfectly into the concept of high-tech style, where an abundance of light and a sense of spaciousness are welcomed.

The bathroom in this style is also equipped with the latest technology. A modern shower cubicle, a bath with massage and other modes, washbasins with a vaping effect are complemented by an ultra-thin TV. You will not find this in other style directions, but this has its advantages. After all, it is so pleasant, lying in a bath with fragrant foam, to enjoy watching an interesting film or program.
