Amazing mix of high-tech and marine style in the design of a small apartment

It’s not easy to combine the style of “high technologies” and the colorful marine style in the interior of one apartment. High-tech with its simplicity, conciseness, technological effectiveness, high illumination and almost complete absence of decor is literally opposed to the marine style, the whole essence of which is based on a certain choice of color palette and the way of decorating the room. Strict geometric shapes, simple solutions and high technology, built-in furniture with lighting and chrome surfaces can surprisingly be harmoniously combined with elements of a marine theme - a striped print, an image of anchors and helms, lifebuoys and sailboats.

It was during the design of the living room, connected to the dining room, that the most vivid and revealing mixture of two stylistic styles that were so different in nature occurred. Given the small size of the room, it was doubly difficult to do, but with the help of skillful zoning, the use of multi-functional furniture blocks and a light color palette, it was possible to create not only practical and comfortable, but also an incredibly attractive outward space for relaxing, hosting guests and family meals.

The concept of the marine style is responsible for the choice of colors: light tones, the use of blue shades and for the balance of a cool palette - warm natural drawings of light wood. This palette, comfortable for looking, was used not only for the decoration of the room, but also in the execution of furniture, decor and textile design. Also, the whole concept of decorating a room is completely solved in the marine style - anchors, helms, lifebuoys, ship bells and even stylization of storage systems for barrels and boats.

The open plan living room combined with the dining room made it possible to create a practical and ergonomic environment in a small area, saturating each zone functionally. The use of not massive, but roomy storage systems, comfortable seating and mainly wall decor - all this allowed us to maintain a sense of freedom and even some space in a small room with high functional load.

In a small apartment, the least space was allocated for the kitchen. A narrow, but rather long room was simply unable to accommodate both the working and dining areas. Therefore, when planning the kitchen space, emphasis was placed on placing the maximum possible number of storage systems, work surfaces and household appliances in a small area. The ideal option was the parallel layout of the kitchen.

Of course, for such a modest-sized space, light shades became priorities in the color palette. The snow-white finish is perfectly combined with the light wood of the smooth facades of kitchen cabinets, the dark sheen of household appliances acts as a contrasting accent, the presence of glass and glossy surfaces contributes to the visual expansion of the narrow space.

In the design of the bedrooms, the advantage in the concept moved to the high-tech style. Here we no longer see marine themes, blue shades in the color scheme of the room, characteristic of the stylistics of decorative elements. But the simplicity, functionality and conciseness inherent in the hi-tech style becomes paramount. A distinctive feature of this urban style is the high illumination of spaces, the active use of lighting at various levels.Lighting devices are located not only on the ceiling, built-in lighting can be seen in structural elements, furniture and even as a decor.

The room of the bedroom, like the rest of the rooms, cannot boast a large area. Therefore, to design the sleeping space, predominantly light colors were chosen that could visually expand the room.

Behind the interior partition, in isolation from the bed, is a small office. In order to equip a small home office, very little space is needed - built-in console-type furniture and light colors of execution allowed to create a cozy, but at the same time functional, workplace.

In the interior of the master bedroom, the only thing left of the marine style is the use of sand color and the use of natural wood. But from high-tech styling, the interior of the bedroom “got” simple and concise forms, strict lines and practical solutions. With the help of the built-in backlight, even the simplest and most unpretentious room in the design becomes interesting, original, diverse - the bed seems to soar above the floor, and the wings of a certain design seem to move apart from the berth, from which warm lighting flows.

Built-in storage system of impressive dimensions looks easy and elegant thanks to the use of mirror and glass surfaces. The built-in illumination behind the glass doors not only makes it possible to perfectly view the contents of the shelves, but also creates an original image of the entire structure.

In the interior of the bathroom, the same warm natural shades were used in combination with the coolness of mirror and glass surfaces. In a small space, it was possible to place all the necessary plumbing and storage systems thanks to a practical and ergonomic layout.

The combination of “warmth” and “coolness” in the design of the utilitarian room made it possible to create a favorable atmosphere without any special expenses - beige shades are made in glossy surfaces, matte inserts made of natural wood bring original notes to the character of the interior.
