Do you want to decorate your relaxation room in a style that will always be at the peak of popularity? So, high-tech is definitely your story. The laconic and very functional design is ideal for people who keep up with the times and are always aware of new achievements.
High-tech will never go out of style.
History of stylistics
The style got its name from 2 words “higt stile” (from English high style). This direction is characterized by: versatility, manufacturability, minimalism and practicality.
The style emerged in the 1970s, when it was called “sophisticated simplicity.”
Reference! Modern designers bring their vision of high-tech to the table with extraordinary solutions and a play of contrasts. It can be briefly described as “minimalism with an upgrade.”
Style Features
High-tech is the style of the latest inventions, coupled with comfort and convenience.
Therefore, the style is characterized by the latest materials, an excessive amount of metal structures and elements, regular geometric shapes, industrial materials (pipes, open communications), as well as glass, plastic, silver paints, even lighting.Study photographs of bedrooms decorated in high-tech style to fully visualize the future renovation.
Undoubtedly, this style can be followed in the design of a bedroom. This will give residents a feeling of freedom and functionality.
Distinctive features of high-tech
The style is easily recognizable, it is characterized by:
Minimalism in everything, looks better in spacious rooms, but is often used in small apartments.
Multifunctional practicality. Any thing (bed, cabinet or chair) only seems simple, but has hidden capabilities.
Clarity of lines. The shape of furniture and lamps with the correct geometry: squares, circles, ovals or rectangles.
The materials used are different: metal and glass, expensive plastic and stone. We must forget about traditional materials, for example, wood. High-quality imitation is allowed. In textiles, preference is given to natural fabrics: silk, linen, cotton, satin or satin, as well as polyester, organza of unexpected colors.
Multi-level lighting even in the bedroom. Windows don't matter, but there is always plenty of light. Spotlights are especially effective; they will be reflected many times in the surrounding glass and metal (chrome). “Cold shades” of light of neon tones are used: blue-violet, emerald, sparkling.
Color spectrum. Main shades: white, gray and black. But the main role is played by bright creative accents. These could be scarlet pillows, a purple floor vase, green ottomans at a glass coffee table, etc.
The severity of the style is always diluted with unusual elements that catch the eye. Only black and white high-tech bedroom interiors have not been used for a long time.
The style is characterized by new technological features, which often make the interior look like a science fiction film. This can be expressed in cosmic colors, shapes or content of a thing. If in modernity technology is often hidden, here it is on display, organically integrated into the overall design.
Choosing furniture and textiles
Furniture should be as simple and practical as possible: clear lines and primitive shapes. When choosing the number of interior items, remember that in high-tech there should be a minimum of them. For a bedroom, such a set would be a bed, a bedside table, a wardrobe and a pair of armchairs. Paired bedside tables located on both sides of the bed are an outdated concept.
Don’t forget about the main feature – high technology.
The trend is glass tables, somewhat reminiscent of coffee tables. And the dressing room and closet are hidden behind panels, which, when closed, merge with the wall decoration. By the way, in this direction of interior design it is not customary to hide things “behind seven locks”; on the contrary, all storage areas seem to be specially displayed.
A plasma TV, neon lighting, and a modern audio system built into the walls of the room are required.
When decorating windows, take note that multilayer structures, as well as finishing curtains with tassels and lambrequins, are something that under no circumstances should “settle” in a high-tech design bedroom. The ideal option is blinds or Roman blinds.
If your apartment has an innovative “smart home” system, then the “high-tech” style is ideal for it.
Simple tulle looks good, as it does not prevent the penetration of sunlight and is almost invisible in the window opening. You can also use curtains made of plain fabric up to half the window.
The main materials used in this direction are plastic, metal and glass.
In general, it’s up to you to choose, the main thing is that the color and shape complement the style of the room, and do not argue with it, drawing attention to themselves.
The LED lighting placed around the perimeter looks great.
Materials
The main materials are metal and plastic, a lot of glass and various accessories. The ignobility of artificial materials is compensated by their modern complex processing with electronic “stuffing”:
- Metal – often chrome in details, metallic color is on trend. Door handles are often made of anodized aluminum.
- Glass is most often used in tables, chairs or shelves.
- Textile. Curtains and bedspreads are often in calm tones.
- Fur is a pleasant exception. Soft pile and aesthetics visually warm up the austere interior and metallic and neon shine.
Light
Multi-level lighting is required:
- built-in rows of spotlights;
- bright spotlights on the ceiling;
- LED and halogen lamps;
- string lamps (suspended) on 2 strings.
Lighting is always creative, with a twist: “starry sky”, colored LEDs around the bed, nano-lights (imitation of windows suspended from the ceiling).
Lighting
High-tech implies the play of light. In no other style does lighting play such an important role. Don't skimp on LED bulbs.
The room should be permeated with them from start to finish. In this case, you can move away from the severity of the style a little to the side and experiment with the design of lighting fixtures.
Opt for smart lighting that can be controlled remotely to adjust brightness and hue.
If you decided to bring contrast to the bedroom with the help of lighting, then you should not overdo it with the number of colors (leave one or two bright shades).
