High-tech style in the interior - 25 inspirational photos

One of those styles that do not become obsolete over time, due to the constant introduction of a new one. High-tech style in the interior of an apartment or house is the most advanced, modern, high-tech style of the existing ones (at the same time not overloaded with details and more suitable for everyday life, compared to, for example, futurism). Architects with designers use it when they want to emphasize the progressiveness, prestige of the building (or premises), while providing visitors with top-level comfort.

Appearance history

The name high-tech is short for high-technology, literally "high technology." The roots of this style grow from the distant 20s of the 20th century, modernism, constructivism, the appearance of which we owe to the resettlement of people in the cities, the development of factories, factories, mass production.

Such long-known building materials as concrete, glass, metal began to be found everywhere, when people learned how to make them faster, cheaper, in large volumes. As time went on, all the new and amazing inventions appeared that made everyday human work easier, it became easier for people to dream of a distant future, of space exploration, which was reflected in art by the people.

From the 60s sci-fi books and cinema ideas, pop art (popular, mass art) style began to penetrate into architecture, design, marking the early high-tech, through engineering communications pulled out, the abundance of metal, glass, new facade materials as well as inside (as in the French National Center for Art and Culture Georges Pompidou, architect R. Rogers, Renzo Piano, the English building of the Lloyds company, arch R. Rogers).

From the end of the 70s, modern high-tech began to gain momentum, which increasingly boldly showed the public the most incredible shapes created from the same metal, glass and concrete - various huge curved floors, spherical shells, "icicles" and the like.

Today, new inventions and achievements of engineering instantly switch to the armament of designers and architects in order to make the interior in high-tech style as surprising as possible with its convenience.

Who is suitable

As mentioned above, high-tech in the interior will suit wealthy people who love comfort, who know the value of their time. Such people love order, straight lines, strict forms, do not favor bright, pastel colors, on the contrary, their eyes rest on black, white, gray.

All technological innovations adherent interiors in high-tech style will test first. He does not need to explain what a smart home is, he loves functionality, he hates souvenir dust collectors without a clearly defined utilitarian purpose.

The abundance of light, white flowers, glossy surfaces is unlikely to suit a family with two children. Rather, it will be appropriate for successful businessmen: bachelor or bachelor, who are accustomed to pay cleaning staff, to maintain perfect order at home.

Successful young people who follow modern fashion will also appreciate the interior in high-tech style, since the latter means a lot of free space with sufficient capacity, due to various hidden, hidden storage places, as well as equipment with various entertainment and music systems - there is where to turn party lovers that guests will not soon forget.

Home decoration in high-tech style suits rationalists, materialists, pragmatists.

Character

To better understand the features of the style, read the following paragraphs with examples:

1. Manufacturability: voice, remote control equipment, lighting. A kettle or wall-mounted ventilator, which can be turned on using the app on your smartphone when you are just approaching the house.

Blinds, curtains, screens, partitions, controlled by remote control. Alarm, smoke and normal. Here are just some examples of engineering wonders and amenities of a modern home hi-tech.

2. Materials, texture: metal, glass and concrete, sometimes plastic. They are used always and everywhere: they are aluminum lampshades, long wires running down, panels for walls, furniture, ceilings made of stainless steel sheets, chrome-plated handles, glass tabletops.

The walls are made of colored or ordinary concrete, aligned, painted in soothing colors. Successfully fit self-leveling warm floors, stretch ceilings. If the metal is not enough, you can even arrange a fake external communications, paying tribute to the early high-current, or metal columns, struts.

If fabrics are used, they are also technologically advanced: self-cleaning, water-repellent fibers, metallized threads, and leatherette. In addition, the accent can be used in contrasting texture - for example, a shaggy carpet with a long nap, linen pillows, curtains.

3. Chromatic colors, that is, black, white, gray and its shades, as well as steel, silver, metallic. Of course, a harmonious interior does not imply hospital monotony, a color accent is required, for example, a bright sofa or carpet, a picture of the genre of pop art or photorealism. Colored accents will be pure, rectilinear shades, clearly on a simple color circle.

4. Lighting. High-tech lights are a lot. Bulbs are necessarily energy-saving, halogen, neon, often hidden. All zones, working surfaces can be illuminated separately from the rest, and they work automatically when moving (when the cabinet door is opened, when the owner enters the corridor, when the main "upper" light goes out) or according to pop and voice.

Here you can have some fun, for example, arrange color music when you turn off the big light.

5. The seeming simplicity and brevity. In the style of high-tech lines are straight, the surfaces are plain, smooth, smooth, visible furniture - to a minimum. All this, coupled with the color scheme gives a feeling of coolness, purity, tranquility, transparency. After the hustle and bustle of the city with its visual advertising noise, mud, in such an oasis of silence, you will rest perfectly. Simple forms of accessories (for example, vases, stands) are also eternal, like geometry itself: a ball, a cone, a box, a cube.

In various rooms of the house

It is a little about interesting design "counters" which are applied to various rooms of the house when creating an interior in the style of hi-tech:

• In the bedroom, the main character is the bed. Bed-podium, with hidden drawers for linen under her perfectly saves space. For the bedroom, the soaring effect of the bed is also often used: a hidden base and strip lighting along the contour is made. Also added luminous cubes, cabinets, included by pressing. The closet is recessed into the wall, merges with it. The door opens silently, pressing, then gently slides aside.
  Panoramic sound-proof windows from ceiling to floor made of architectural glass (heat-saving and sun-reflecting) become a very unusual, interesting solution for the bedroom. Part of the glazing can be made matte, the window is closed with simple roller blinds, blinds or concise tulle. Think over the lighting - for a couple, the separately controlled lights at the edges of the bed are required. A private house with a large bedroom will allow you to install a fireplace, metal, or looking like a pair of black and white rectangles.

• The high-tech kitchen offers glossy black furniture fronts, an ultra-powerful hood, or the same glossy or galvanized steel wide pipe. Mandatory illumination of the working surface, modern household appliances, similar to industrial or elegant, smooth and glossy. The floor can be made of ceramic granite tiles, and the countertops can be made of artificial stone.

• In the high-tech living room, you will see a huge flat-screen TV (possibly hidden behind a sliding automatic door), glass shelves of the cabinets, or metal racks brought from the factory. The living room can hide an extra bed or seats in the wall, the table is necessarily thought out folding various configurations. Take care of the availability of a first-class sound system - home theater. With an abundance of light, characteristic materials and technical equipment, a good high-tech living room will resemble a spaceship.

How to choose furniture

When selecting furniture for rooms designed in high-tech style, it is necessary to remember all the above-mentioned characteristic features of the style.

Let's go over them again taking into account the peculiarities of the furniture:

• Monochrome surfaces. That is, if the walls are white, they are white throughout the room. You can dilute the cabinet surface with a second color, or put contrasting cushions, floor carpet.

• Furniture should be the minimum required quantity. Buy one, but roomy, partly secret closet.
• Grace, brevity, elegance: a rectangular sofa with thin legs, weightless chairs made of thin transparent plastic, an egg-shaped hanging chair.
• It is acceptable to use professional tools similar to these, or real such items, for a residential interior: a chair similar to a dental one, a movie projector like in a business center, a restaurant plate, an extractor hood.
• Manufacturability - a clock projecting time and weather on the wall, rotating, "growing", adjustable seats.
