From Cubism to Pragmatism
Pragmatism and constructivism of industrial premises of the sample of the 70s of the last century inspired designers to create a high-tech style.
The high technologies of that time, relating to modernism, characterized such features that later became fundamental:
• sculptural form and complex simplicity
• monumentality and structural structure
• manufacturability and elite architectural service.
The main features of the high-tech style in the interior were the use of direct forms and lines, the large-scale use of metal, plastic and glass, and the use of functional elements.
Therefore, the favorite method of designers was to use elements of Cubism and rigid constructivism. Agree that to give preference to this style, and therefore love and accept it, only resolute and pragmatic personalities are capable. To create in a modern apartment or house interior a high-tech style, means a complete rejection of sugary decor and decor elements.
Smooth, clean, shiny
Speaking about the peculiarities of the high-tech style in the interior of the premises, it is necessary to note a harmonious combination of ideal proportions, shapes of objects and light. Any interior of an apartment - a drawing room, a bedroom, a bathroom or a kitchen, is distinguished by concreteness and efficiency. Surfaces of the ceiling, walls and floor are clear, smooth and shiny. Naturally, the filling of the interior, and this furniture, decorative elements, fabrics for upholstery and dishes, should be clean, shiny and preferably without drawings.
That is why in the interior design in high-tech style it will look great with light objects with clearly marked geometric shapes. Probably, therefore, well-chosen armchairs or bar chairs framed by chrome metal and light elastic leather look stylish, respectable and practical.
The imposed "taboo" on the abundance of accessories in the interior of the premises for this style can be replaced with the presence of one or two expressive decor elements. Decent decorations are ultramodern incredibly expensive home appliances or a large aquarium with highlights and bright inhabitants.
The style of high-tech in the interior of the living room
For the style of high-tech is characterized by free planning, which is appropriate when creating a living room interior. In this case, the room visually seems more illuminated and spacious.
An important role is played by the zoning of the living room or the hall, as well as the rapid possibility of changing the layout using mobile partitions made of plastic and glass. Recall that the correct location of light sources is also important in the creation of the interior, as the arrangement of elements and their subordination to the functional purpose.
For the decoration of walls and ceiling, preference is best given to white, gray or beige flowers.
The wallpaper in such an interior is completely out of place, they will be replaced by painting, which creates smooth and monophonic surfaces. The best decoration for the living room walls will be expressive paintings in light metal frames.
For most minimalist styles, the decoration of blinds' windows is characteristic. For this, vertical and horizontal blinds of light colors are used. It is possible to use single-color soft curtains, which have a loose structure.
Hi-tech in the interior of the bedroom
A secluded place in the apartment - a bedroom equipped in high-tech style with the use of stylish materials and furniture become unusual and ergonomic. You will be amazed at the sudden free space, the playing of contrasting colors of the decor and confidence.
Pragmatism of high-tech style in the interior of the bedroom will consist in the arrangement of a practical sofa-transformer consisting of modules. Do you think that the sofa-transformer is absolutely not suitable for a bedroom? By no means! Such furniture can be used with maximum benefit, abandoning the idea of buying a locker on carved legs for bedding. At your service will be a bed or a sofa with drawers. Especially for high-tech furniture is characterized by functionality. It can be not only numerous drawers, but also double-sided shelves, as well as chairs on wheels.
The view that in the "high-tech" style should be used metal or plastic furniture is mistaken. The use of soft furniture in a simple geometric form, but without colored and bright upholstery, is welcomed. Preference for furniture upholstery - only one-color upholstery or from high-quality leather. In this case, upholstery of furniture will perform a color solution for a monochrome interior. But do not get involved in playing color, hi-tech prefers moderation and asceticism in the interior.
Bathroom in high-tech style
Bathroom in high-tech style is a combination of concrete or ceramic surfaces with cold chrome plated elements of expensive sanitary ware, glass and mirrors. Naturalism and the noble shine of metal create a thoughtfulness of the minimalist lines characteristic of the style.
When decorating walls and ceilings, it is recommended to use a ceramic tile that does not change and does not mix shades of colors, and also has a glossy surface. The sophisticated style of taste can be created by saturating the bathroom interior with characteristic details of the style plan. This is expensive branded plumbing from the best manufacturers. As a rule, such a plumber no longer needs additional surroundings.
However, even small elements of the design of the bathroom in the form of nickel-plated cups and supports for soap and toothbrushes, will look amazing.
Stylish, practical and reliable! By the way, with unaided eyes the quality of sanitary ware will be visible and a deceptive impression of ease and ease of style will evaporate like the smell of expensive bath shampoo.
But a special delight for fans of high-tech style is caused by the kitchen.

It is here that attracts attention to the quality coverage of colored plastic tables and decoration elements, as well as expensive household appliances.
