High-tech style is a popular solution in interior design in the modern world. The word comes from high technology - high technology. The style is young, appeared in the 1970s of the last century on the basis of late postmodernism and absorbed all the basic principles of modernity. The founders were Rogers, Piano and Foster.
High tech is characterized by the following features:
- Sweeping straight lines and crisp shapes
- Use of materials such as metal, glass, concrete and plastic
- Widespread use of practical elements and smart technology
- An abundance of lighting fixtures - elegant chandeliers and many light sources
- From the color scheme, the use of silver-metallic and black and white colors in neutral shades. Style gravitates to gloss and shine.
- The most restrained decor, and often the complete absence of decor elements
Hi-tech kitchen
High-tech style is a great choice for a kitchen interior. High-tech cuisine is an island of restraint and clear lines. This may be a small kitchen in Khrushchev, and a kitchen-living room in a studio apartment. Practicality and modernity are the main features of the kitchen in this style. Thanks to high-quality, strong and durable materials, the kitchen-living room acquires wear resistance, environmental friendliness, and resistance to ignition. Accordingly, such a kitchen will last much longer than traditional.
A huge plus of the high-tech design is its use in small rooms. For example, in Khrushchev. Due to the multitude of surfaces and accented lighting that will be reflected from these surfaces, it is possible to achieve a significant visual increase in space, making a shining island of gloss and gloss out of a gloomy room.
Straight lines and crisp shapes
The main features of the direction are the design with the dominance of clear geometry in all forms, lines and angles, which gives expressiveness and conciseness to the interior. High-tech avoids floridness and adheres to the principles of asceticism. Unattractive elements such as ventilation boxes, communications, fittings are practically played out.
Kitchen and household appliances
The concept of style meets the availability of modern, easy-to-use and multi-functional equipment. A high-tech kitchen can resemble the appearance of a space object with furniture from a science fiction film or a laboratory of the future. Household appliances - the newest and multifunctional, with touch controls and a stylish design. Design by the latest technologies is relevant - door closers, a touch mixer with water temperature indicators, voice control of lighting.
It is better to purchase a kitchen set in the interior to order, not forgetting the absolute symmetry and swiftness of the lines in the hi-tech interior. An excellent solution is to choose a corner headset that fits perfectly into a small space. If you order a kitchen corner with an apron in the tone of the walls, then the set will dissolve in space, increasing it. Lifts, closers, drawers, baskets and dividers are essential attributes of high-tech furniture.
Modern high-tech cuisine will greatly benefit from the location of a bar or a bar table in it.Dining table can be both light and almost weightless, and heavy, emphasized massive. An excellent option would be a corner table. A winning table option in combination with a bar in the kitchen-living room is an elongated island table. Looks great not only rectangular, but also triangular, and even a hexagonal "island".
When choosing chairs, pay attention to the shape. Bar stools or resembling office furniture are a good choice for a kitchen in a studio apartment. In terms of material, leather and metal remain the favorites.
But we observe the measure. High-tech does not allow to “fill” the space with furniture. This is especially true for small kitchens in Khrushchev.
Invoices and materials
Modern synthetic materials look organically and effectively in the kitchen: polyethylene, plastic, porcelain stoneware, polypropylene, plastic, acrylic. You can harmoniously use glass, ceramic tiles and concrete. Natural materials perfectly fit into the overall style - stone or metal. They are recommended for use on surfaces that will come in contact with food and on the facades of a kitchen unit. Using a traditional tree is acceptable in the case of choosing cold dark colors: wenge, black, gray.
Color schemes
To match the style, designers use colors such as white, black, white-gray, beige, graphite, silver. The winning combination is shades of wenge with beige and metallic gray. In the kitchen-living room you can play in contrast to the exquisite light wenge with dark shades. All shades of wenge are harmonious and will satisfy the taste of the most ardent perfectionist.
Bright accents look good. Their role can be played by bright red chairs, yellow facades or a raspberry apron in the kitchen.
Neutral colors can be diluted with a variety of textures - matte coatings and gloss, tile and stone.
Walls
Walls are as neutral as possible. The use of wallpaper is not recommended. Designing a high-tech kitchen doesn't accept. The maximum that you can afford is wallpaper for painting or plain wallpaper. Decorative plaster for concrete or stone, or water-based paint - the best solution for finishing.
Floor and ceiling
Preference is given to a laminate of increased strength or a bulk floor. It is possible to use ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles. You need to remember the color palette - bright tiles do not fit the style, the floor should be in harmony with the shade of the ceiling. Gloss and gloss are welcome.
The hi-tech design does not approve of the use of carpets or rugs, but to give a touch of coziness and comfort, you can spread a small rectangular rug of white-gray or gray color on the floor.
The ceiling is preferable to a hinged or suspended, but always perfectly flat.
Curtains and windows
Just like wallpaper, hi-tech usually refuses curtains. It is better to use blinds or roller blinds. If we still give the choice to fabric curtains, then we remember the principles of Art Nouveau - monophonic cold tones.
Windows should also be consistent with style restraint. Wood as a decoration material is unacceptable. The ideal window is a solid glass panel with thin frames.
Lighting
High-tech chandeliers and fixtures are elegant yet simple and practical lighting fixtures. An excellent option is spot lighting, the presence of not only a chandelier, but also the mass of small lamps that function simultaneously and one at a time. When choosing a chandelier, it is important to remember the laconic style.
Accessories and decor
Hi-tech is not compatible with accessories and decor. If you are a lover of a riot of colors, tapestry, stucco molding, porcelain trinkets and artificial flowers, then hi-tech is not for you. You can afford, without going beyond the strict framework of style, pots with living plants or bright stylish fruit vases.
