We will send the material to you by e-mail

Restrained and pragmatic high-tech style in the interior is quite common. At first glance, it seems that he is deprived of the warmth and comfort of a home. However, this is not entirely true. How to make the metallic sheen of surfaces warm, spacious rooms do not seem empty, and strict forms give a feeling of peace? Let's figure it out in this review.

Hi-tech - cold beauty of the modern world

The design direction Hi-Tech (hi-tech), which translated from English means "high technology", originated in the seventies of the last century. Since then, this style has tirelessly kept pace with the times, changing and improving.

In the high-tech interior, everything is ultra-modern and practical, every detail is thought out to the smallest detail. This style will suit modern pragmatists who value their time. The style is dynamic and austere, it can be considered the direct opposite of the luxurious, appreciating the traditions of classicism. High-tech is an urban style; it will be out of place within the walls of a wooden country house.

Photos of bedrooms and children's rooms

When arranging a bed, high-tech is softened, diluting with characteristic elements of other styles. These can be pillows, curtains, a soft rug at the foot of the bed, or elegant bedside lamps that emit warm light. The presence of a large number of modern technology and automated systems (automatic sliding curtains, "smart" alarm clock on the bedside table, etc.) and correct forms remain unchanged attributes of a high-tech bedroom interior (photo examples are presented below).

Hi-Tech is rarely used for a small child's room. There are many reasons for this. The nursery should be filled with colors and warmth, contain colorful objects that will help the baby to learn about the world. The high-tech interior cannot boast of either the presence of paints or decor. But energetic teenagers who love everything new and advanced will appreciate Hi-Tech.

What is Hi-tech style? These are high technologies that you can apply in modern apartment renovation. In this design, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, everything is equipped with the latest technology. Hi-tech design is sometimes called the style of the future, which seems to have descended from science fiction.

Features of high-tech style repair

Renovation of an apartment in the Hi-Tech style means a lot of light and space. Here, much attention is paid exclusively to interior elements.

The basic principles of this design can be safely attributed to:

• Use of glass, metal, plastic and concrete elements. If a tree is used, it must be unprocessed.
• Style functionality.
• All designs have very simple and strict forms.
• Light shades are used. The main colors are metallic, gray, black and white.
• The decor is practically not used.
• There are enough straight lines. This can be seen in pieces of furniture, walls and some accessories in the interior.
• All forms are simple and hermetically sealed.
• All shelves and cabinets are hidden whenever possible. At first glance, it is quite difficult to understand exactly which surface the shelf is hidden under.

Technologies of this style

Home renovation in the Hi-Tech style involves the use of smart technology, which becomes more compact and striking in its ergonomics.

All paper instructions can be replaced with applications for electronic gadgets, on which you can duplicate the necessary control panels. This makes it possible to remotely control equipment.

You cannot use this design solo - in this case, the whole interior ceases to be cozy. We recommend mixing a couple of styles a little, which by their presence will add some "zest" to your interior.

Finishing inside the apartment

When you do a high-tech renovation, you should start from the purpose of the room. The walls can be finished with plaster, painted, or wallpaper can be glued on them (here there is a large choice - glass wallpaper, liquid or non-woven).

Optionally, you can upholster the room with plastic panels. The most ascetic options include bare concrete walls, brickwork. The decoration should be done in one tone, preferably light.

If your room has a large enough area, pay attention to black, blue and dark gray shades. To give some texture, walls can be decorated with abstract panels, black and white photographs can be hung. Mirrors in monochromatic frames, as well as molding made of polystyrene, will fit well.

Curtains in this style are not used. If you want to close the windows from prying views from the street, put roller shutters, blinds. In the sleeping area, you can hang transparent tulle or ordinary curtains that do not have a pattern.

The entire space of the room can be zoned using partitions. Wooden doors replace open doors or aluminum doors. Will fit well as a partition for zoning - an aquarium, a sliding screen or a compartment door.

The floor covering is necessarily linoleum, laminate, tiles (vinyl). If you are renovating a living room or kitchen in high-tech style, it is better to choose a mirrored self-leveling floor for the floor. For better lighting, install additional light sources in the floor.

To remove the batteries from the room, you can make a heated floor. Ceiling - suspended or suspended. The surface of the ceiling is matt or glossy. A sufficient number of spotlights can be built into a multi-level ceiling. This will allow you to adjust the lighting in the room as needed.

Light in hi-tech

A lot of attention is paid to the light in this style. All rooms must have good lighting. The use of a large number of light sources is allowed.

Large windows are appropriate here - through them a lot of natural light will enter the room. Windows can be of different shapes - from standard rectangular to small windows that look like portholes.

With the proper use of floor and table lamps, you can divide the space into specific functional areas. Thanks to the use of glossy surfaces, it visually seems that the space expands, becomes lighter.

Using colors

A beautiful apartment renovation is an organic combination of light, shapes and colors. The main palette of hi-tech style shades includes three shades - gray, white and black.

If you want to accentuate, use pure blues, reds, yellows and greens, not midtones. Avoid a variety of patterns and patterns in the interior and upholstery of furniture. When choosing bright accents, remember that it is easy enough to oversaturate the interior with such elements. Therefore, focus on one thing.

Hi-tech in the bedroom

The floor can be finished with laminate or parquet. This will make the room feel cozier and more comfortable. A sliding wardrobe with large glass doors and built-in lighting is also a high-tech style.

Hi-tech style kitchen

From a first glance at the kitchen, you can tell that it is made in this design. This room is very functional, visually cold, but it is very pleasant to be in it.

Here we will see all the ergonomics - a lot of free space, the furniture is arranged so that everything you need is immediately at hand and at the same time you can move around the room without any problems. All furniture is calculated to the smallest detail - all shelves and drawers are logically justified.

The kitchen is necessarily equipped with the latest technology - the worktop can be made of acrylic or glass, the sink will be built into the worktop. Here you will not find a single superfluous detail - the interior is well thought out and comfortable.

Formed at the end of the 70s of the XX century, the urbanistic and high-tech style, the high-tech style is distinguished by clear geometry, functionality and the absence of small decor. It is rational, laconic, embodies progressive views on interior design and carries a certain challenge to everything traditional. This style is chosen by creative and extraordinary people who love experiments and bold interior solutions.

In our review, we will talk in more detail about the colors and characteristic features of the high-tech style in the interior and, using the example of a photo from the portfolio of the Studio of Elite Interiors of Angelika Prudnikova, we will get acquainted with the design options for recreation areas, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms.

High-tech interior colors

The hi-tech color scheme is very diverse and is not limited to shades of gray, as many think. To create a cozy living space, you can use universal white, a wide range of beige, chocolate and coffee shades, combine the colors of sand and concrete in the finishing, and dilute the interior with bright accents. And the most advantageous look is monochrome and contrasting interiors with original colored LED-backlighting.

1. High-tech bedroom interior

This effect is achieved thanks to the pleasant sand-colored wood paneling and tinted oak floors.

High-tech bedroom: design and high technology

High-tech style in the interior of the bedroom traditionally manifests itself in the correct geometric shapes, functional furniture and well-thought-out lighting. But color solutions can be very unexpected. For example, you can add a little gold to a minimalistic design in the form of a spectacular panel and a couple of accessories, or highlight one of the walls with accent trim. This will complicate the interior, make it more interesting and brighter.

6. Strict geometry and bright posters in the interior

Gray and beige colors, laconic light furniture, an accent wall covered with wallpaper with a 3D effect, a carpet with a honeycomb pattern, industrial design table lamps that play the role of nightlights - the interior of a teenager's bedroom looks calm, but not boring. And its "highlight" was the posters at the head of the bed and the shield of the superhero.

7. High-tech backlit bedroom interior

And it is "supported" by a fashionable Molecular chandelier and a mirror in a gilded frame.

High-tech style in the interior of the bathroom

Glossy furniture, modern suspended sanitary ware, colored LEDs - the high-tech style in the interior of the bathroom looks very impressive. It is suitable for any premises and allows you to create the most functional space even in a small area. The main thing is to keep the forms clean, use practical finishing materials, avoid variegation and think over the lighting well.

9. "Floating" furniture and turquoise LEDs

Suspended furniture with glossy chocolate-colored facades looks advantageous against the background of a light marble wall. And the trendy turquoise LED lighting visually lightens large interior items and makes the bathroom design bright and interesting.

So let's summarize. Based on the high-tech style, you can create a unique and very cozy interior. The main thing is to strike a balance between manufacturability and comfort. And so that the space does not look too cold and industrial, interior designer Anzhelika Prudnikova advises to “dilute” high-tech with eclectic lamps, loft and minimalism elements.

The life of megalopolises dictates its own rules, putting practicality and functionality in the first place. The modern high-tech style embodies them in a laconic interior that embodies high technology.

A bit of history

The foreign direction of hi-tech came to us from England. The 1980s saw a peak in the popularity of science fiction literature in this country. At first, this was reflected in architecture, where a new unusual direction appeared.

Then, thanks to the architect Norman Foster, the trends of the future came to the design of the premises. Clarity of lines, cold shine of metal, ideal proportions and maximum ergonomics immediately attracted the attention of the public.

Hi-tech is now one of the most popular styles. It is especially close to those who value their time, love comfort, an abundance of light and space. High-tech is ideal for owners of studio apartments and other small-sized housing. Wherein he is good in large country mansions... The emphasis on the latest technologies and modern materials emphasizes the status, looks stylish and even luxurious in its own way.

Specific traits

The main feature of this style is the saving of space due to its rational arrangement with the help of modern technical means. Hi-tech does not tolerate negligence. The style must be observed in all respects:

• Simplicity and clarity of geometry in the organization of space;
• An abundance of chrome-plated metal, transparent and frosted glass, plastic elements;
• The use of transforming and built-in furniture with lighting;
• Lack of unnecessary details, decoration of the room with avant-garde decorative elements in small quantities;
• The use of sliding doors, often made of glass.

The result is a very simple yet stylish minimalist interior. To some, the severity and consistency of style seems too businesslike, and the apartment, decorated in this way, resembles an office.

There are no things with patterns, openwork curtains and an abundance of decor. Therefore, lovers of natural motives, souvenirs close to their hearts and creative disorder in such a room will be uncomfortable.

For those who value functionality, prefer pure monochrome colors, sparkling gloss and transparent textures, hi-tech is ideal.

The choice of materials for decoration and repair

When creating a high-tech design project, you need to decide what materials will be required for repairs.

The walls of a room in this style are usually covered with matte or glossy paint. Sometimes inserts made of plastic, aluminum, flexible stone are used. It is also allowed to use imitation metal tiles or glass wall panels.

Floor finishing can be done in different ways. It can be porcelain stoneware, laminate or parquet. In the spacious hall, you can make a podium with LED illumination. Self-leveling floors are also popular. Variants with a 3D effect allow you to realize very interesting ideas.

The ceiling can be suspended or suspended. Multi-level structures are often used. In this case, it is important not to forget about the lighting system, which will emphasize the originality of the design.

The principle of choosing materials for high-tech style is based on their reliability, strength, resistance to chemical, physical and mechanical stress. Wallpaper, stucco molding, natural wood panels are not suitable for such an interior.

Color combinations in design

The hi-tech style is based on the classic black and white color scheme. Gray and silver tones are also actively used.

In addition to cold colors, beige and brown shades are allowed. They can be used by those who are uncomfortable among the icy shine of metal and restraint of gray tones.

The selection of other hi-tech shades is not associated with nuances, but with a spectacular contrast. Therefore, bright "open" colors are used as accents. Red, orange, yellow, turquoise, deep blue are the most popular options.

Expressive color combinations make up for the lack of any patterns and prints. Although it's worth noting that bright elements are usually absent in the bedroom. This is due to elementary logic, because juicy shades do not contribute to relaxation and good rest.

Using lighting

To enhance the effect of spaciousness and harmony of colors, high-tech rooms are well lit. Numerous lamps in an apartment can have different shapes.

The living room can be decorated with a futuristic chandelier. Laconic sconces are allowed in the bedroom. All kinds of lighting, halogen lamps, led lamps visually divide the room into separate zones and emphasize the modernity of the environment.

Matching furniture

High-tech furniture is comfortable and functional. It is distinguished by its laconic design, clear lines and airy construction. Such interior items do not clutter up the space, providing freedom of movement inside the room and visually increasing its area.

Instead of walls, separate elements for storing things (floor and hanging) are used in the living room. Closed shelves, cabinets and shelves are usually rectangular or square. Sometimes the design is complemented by tinted glass inserts and lighting.

Cabinets are usually built-in. The use of transforming furniture with remote control is practiced. Transparent glass tables add lightness to the setting. Glossy and mirrored facades of interior items reflect light, visually expanding the room. Chromed steel elements are used for finishing.

Home comfort is created by modern electric fireplaces. Leather sofas of a laconic design are usually used as upholstered furniture, sometimes the room is decorated with chairs of an unusual "space" shape.

The kitchen is also dominated by metal, plastic and glass. Laconic kitchen sets often don't even have visible handles, presenting a sleek, minimalist design. All appliances must be built in.

If the size of the room allows, the kitchen is equipped with a bar counter with metal bar stools. The dining table can be made of metal combined with plastic or glass. Tablecloths, oilcloths, decorative napkins are unacceptable here.

Metal or plastic chairs of unusual design complete the design of the dining area. If this option of seating furniture seems to you not comfortable enough, you can put a small sofa or soft chairs with leather upholstery on the table.

There is an unspoken rule in the bedroom regarding the number of pieces of furniture. There should be no more than five of them. Usually it is a bed, bedside table, TV, lamp, built-in wardrobe. Another combination is also possible.

In such an interior, there are often models of beds with a floating effect and bottom lighting. The sleeping place seems to hang in the air, enhancing the atmosphere of the technologies of the future.

In studio apartments, folding transforming beds are often used, which are tucked into a closet or wall during the day. This saves usable room space and maintains the style concept.

Decor elements and textiles

The main decoration of the high-tech room is modern technology and all kinds of gadgets. This emphasizes the design features of the style and speaks of the high standard of living of the owners of the house, because "smart" technology makes life as comfortable as possible.

Original vases made of transparent or frosted glass, abstract paintings in black and white, avant-garde figurines can act as secondary decorative elements.

A large aquarium built into the wall can become an interesting element that can surprise guests and delight the hosts.

In addition to beauty and aesthetic pleasure, it will give calmness, relaxation and relaxation.

Original table lamps and tall floor lamps fulfill two functions at the same time - practical and decorative. They are usually placed next to soft furnishings to provide additional lighting when reading books or magazines.

There are almost no textiles in this style. The only exceptions are curtains and throw pillows.... For window decoration, blinds or shutters with remote control can be used. Cloth curtains on an electric cornice are also acceptable.

The color of the products is selected in a calm range of colors. Unlike other styles, where curtains are decoration that should stand out against the background of the walls, in this case the opposite is true. The material should be monochromatic; matching with the shade of walls or furniture is encouraged.

As for the pillows, on the contrary, they are a great way to add a little brightness to the interior. Red, orange, blue or turquoise pillows are placed on a white or black sofa to create a dramatic contrast and draw attention to the seating area.

If a bright color is already used in the room (in the form of wall panels, a lamp or some kind of interior item), then the color of the pillows is matched to them. Excessive color in this style is unacceptable. Against the background of a neutral scale, no more than two juicy shades can stand out.

Sometimes the walls are decorated with modern paintings or black and white photographs under glass, with or without metal frames. It can be a panorama of the city, some kind of artistic photo or images of your family members. The latter option can make the room especially cozy.

Another way to add home comfort and warmth to a cold modern interior is to lay a carpet with thick lush pile on the floor. Drawings are also inappropriate here. The color of the product should be solid and neutral. Usually it is white, black, gray, brown.

• What are the design options for a two-room apartment
• What a high-tech living room should look like
• How to design a high-tech bedroom
• What are the features of high-tech kitchen and bathroom design

Among the many styles used to decorate two-room apartments, hi-tech is the youngest. It was based on space topics, popular science literature, the use of the most modern materials. If we talk about the first mention of the term high-tech, then this is a space structure in the field of architecture. It was only after some time that they began to use it in the interior design of living quarters. What should be a high-tech two-room apartment?

Design options for a two-room apartment

For every designer, a two-room apartment in Moscow is a great opportunity to realize their fantasies associated with interior design. Some resort to combining rooms, others prefer to use several stylistic directions at once in one room. And these are not all possible options that will help make a two-room apartment more comfortable and cozy.

How the room will be decorated depends primarily on who lives in it. For a young couple, one style is suitable, a family with children or animals, another. Professionals offer several options for using living space in a two-room apartment:

1. The most common solution is considered to be the distribution of one room as a bedroom, where you can relax, and the other as a living room, where guests are received and the whole family gathers.
2. Another option for a two-room apartment, which is similar to the previous one, but has one nuance, which is that an office area appears in the living room, which is very convenient if one of the couple works at home.
3. For a sports family, the option is suitable when one of the rooms is equipped for a gym, and the other for a bedroom. Plant lovers can make a greenhouse out of one space, where they can grow a variety of plants.

Interior of a living room of a two-room apartment in high-tech style

The very name of the style was formed from two words, namely higtstile, which means high style, and technology, that is, technology. Thus, the main characteristic features of this trend in interior design are manufacturability, pragmatism, as well as monumentalism. If you pay attention to the details, you can find significant similarities with the American style, which also appeared not so long ago. According to the classification, which will be made by the architect Charles Jencks, high-tech can be attributed to the elite direction. Its main feature is its "complex simplicity", which can be seen in everything: in forms, details and lines.

A two-room apartment in high-tech style is distinguished by the presence of a large amount of glass, plastic, metal and modern technology in the interior, as well as by the peculiarities of lighting design. However, it should be noted that this is a small part of the features of this direction. In addition, there are other features that characterize the high-tech style:

• the predominance of light cold shades;
• simple straight lines and corners;
• lack of floral ornaments;
• the predominance of minimalism with rationality;
• the use of colors in which there is a metallic sheen;
• availability of only modern technology;
• varied lighting using hidden devices.

You should not use too many elements such as pillows, which are often an addition to sofas, napkins, various luxury items, drapery, and stucco, to decorate rooms in a two-room high-tech apartment.

If we talk about the color scheme, then high-tech is a style that involves the use of black, white and gray colors. However, this does not mean that you cannot dilute the interior in a two-room apartment with bright spots, for example, red, green or orange.

In such a modern style as high-tech, there is no place for small decorative elements. The main feature of every detail of the interior of a two-room high-tech apartment is functionality and simplicity, combined with clear forms of an attractive appearance. The design of a two-room apartment should be textured and stylish at the same time. Considering that the living room is the kind of space that must combine pragmatism with a homely spirit, some design experts consider hi-tech to be an unsuitable option.

However, if you connect your imagination and a kind of look at decorating a room, and if you have a certain perseverance, this can be done.

One of the options for furnishing a two-room apartment in high-tech style is to replace closed and large cabinets with light shelves, the shelves of which can be either open or with doors. Installation of pencil cases decorated with textured mirror or glass is allowed. This will preserve the main feature of the high-tech style, namely that the room is kept as spacious as possible.

As for upholstered furniture, it must necessarily have upholstery without any pattern, fabric or glossy leather. If you plan to put a wall in the room, then also only with a reflective surface and a small size. Additionally, you can place items in a two-room high-tech apartment such as:

• rack;
• small coffee table;
• various shelves;
• bedside tables.

The set of pieces of furniture can include chrome or glass elements. A chair made of plastic or a curbstone will add a zest to the interior of this direction. To make a living room in a two-room apartment, mirrors or such a technique as combining a kitchen with an office and a living room will visually help a little more. In this case, glass partitions will act as a dividing element. This will emphasize the style without disrupting the design of the room and its functionality.

To make the room not so heavy, you can add some textiles to the interior in the form of curtains or bedspreads. This will make the rooms cozier, but only natural fabrics should be preferred.

When choosing furniture for a two-room apartment in high-tech style, you need to pay attention to the fact that metal or glass is combined with decorative elements made of fabric. In terms of color, the best option would be to use cold shades such as gray and white. However, accents of black, orange and green with a metallic sheen are allowed here.

For finishing the floor, you should choose a smooth and glossy coating, for example:

• parquet board;
• linoleum;
• glossy laminate;
• tile.

It is highly undesirable to give preference to matte board, carpet and parquet.

If we talk about finishing the walls in a two-room apartment in high-tech style, then in this case it is unacceptable to use wallpaper with a checkered pattern, with any ornament or strip. The optimal choice would be non-woven wallpaper without any print. Painting of canvases with matte or glossy paint is allowed.

It is worth noting that in a two-room high-tech apartment, the photo of which can be seen in this article, there are features of urbanism, this is generally characteristic of the direction of high technology. Therefore, for wall decoration, it is quite possible to use plaster, brick or large stone cladding. In some cases, it is allowed to use panels made of polystyrene with a glossy metal or mirror surface.

The ceiling in the living room of a two-room apartment, decorated in high-tech style, can be made of the following types:

• tensioning using glossy materials;
• metallized from slats;
• a suspended structure of an original form, complemented by built-in lighting fixtures.

If we talk about windows with doors, then they should also correspond to the general style of a two-room apartment, so it is best if they have a futuristic design. Since hi-tech involves a lot of light in the room, there should be enough windows. If it is not enough, the situation can be corrected with the help of lighting devices, while their installation is possible on any surface, on the floor, walls or ceiling.

This stylistic design of a bedroom in a two-room apartment is based on several rules that have been preserved for decades. There are a few important points to keep in mind.

1. Minimalism

The main feature of the high-tech style is the minimum amount of furniture in a large space. The easiest way to achieve this is in a country house with spacious rooms, which cannot be said about small two-room apartments in old houses. If you take a modest-sized room of no more than 4 square meters, then you will not be able to fully reflect the features of this stylistic direction.

2. Practicality

As a rule, everything that is included in the interior of the room can perform several functions at once. Although the shapes of many pieces of furniture, such as cabinets or beds, are simple, they often contain additional possibilities.

3. Sharp lines





All furniture located in a two-room apartment must comply with clear rules, the geometry of the decoration consists only of straight lines that intersect with each other in different versions. Thus, rectangles with squares, as well as triangles, form the basis of high-tech forms.

4. Materials used

For decoration and surface finishing of a two-room apartment in high-tech style, as a rule, metal, plastic and brick are used. Some people prefer stone, which is also acceptable. Moreover, it can be both artificial and natural. Priority is given to granite, marble and sandstone. As for the textiles used for upholstering furniture, curtains and tablecloths, then preference should be given to natural fabrics such as linen, cotton, satin, silk and satin.



5. Lighting features

The main feature of the hi-tech style is a large amount of light. However, given that not every house has a sufficient number of windows (and for a two-room apartment this is all the more important), most often it is necessary to resort to artificial lighting. An original solution would be to install spotlights, the light from them, reflecting from mirror and metal surfaces, will increase the overall illumination of the room. The use of cold light, such as blue, emerald or violet, is also acceptable.

6. Primary colors





The main shades that must be present in a two-room high-tech apartment are white, gray and black. Despite the rather strict interior design, it is allowed to use several bright colored accents, it can be red pillows on the sofa, a purple vase for flowers, or poufs at the coffee table upholstered in red fabric.

7. Modern technology

The high-tech style is characterized by the presence of only modern technology, and, unlike other stylistic trends, here it merges with the design of the room and is displayed. Place the amount of equipment you want in your two-room apartment.

High-tech children's room

In a two-room high-tech apartment, you can equip a separate room or a zone for a child. Despite the fact that this direction is considered cold in terms of color scheme, some parents choose it for decorating children's rooms. Even taking into account the fact that some elements can be excluded from the interior, the main features of the style are preserved, namely multifunctionality with laconicism.

Most often, light colors are chosen for the room in which the children live, which makes the space visually wider. Since high-tech style uses only modern materials for decoration, you can create an environmentally friendly atmosphere. And the abundance of technology, which is also a characteristic feature of this style, will delight any child.

One of the features of the style, namely rationality, allows you to combine two spaces that are useful for a child in one room: one for the educational process, the other for a good rest.

Since lighting plays a large role in hi-tech, the more lighting fixtures are used, the better. However, light must be chosen carefully, as excessively bright light adversely affects vision. This moment is very important, because the child spends a lot of time at home, studying and playing, it is necessary to arrange for him the right lighting. If we talk about the illumination of some interior items, then preference should be given to the diffused lighting installed inside.

As for the curtains for the nursery, the best choice would be a material in warm pastel colors. Often they are replaced with blinds or roman blinds. When choosing a color, it is better to give preference to white, gray and beige. Sometimes it is enough to hang a light tulle on the window, which will add a touch of romanticism to the interior - for a nursery, this is an acceptable deviation, even if curtains are completely absent in your two-room high-tech apartment.

What a high-tech kitchen should look like

To decorate a kitchen in a two-room high-tech apartment, the best option would be avant-garde and ultra-modern decor. In addition, it will help solve the problem associated with a small area.

Even if the kitchen in a two-room high-tech apartment is very small, there are a huge number of creative ideas that will help to visually expand the room and make it more attractive. A characteristic feature in this case is the zoning of the space, which is used for the kitchen combined with the living room.

Another way to make the kitchen more spacious is to use a large number of mirror and glass partitions in the interior. Often, large quantities of lighting devices serve the same purpose.

It is better to put tiles on the floor or make it self-leveling. If you don't like a plain surface and want some kind of pattern, then it is permissible to use patterns from geometric shapes. This will make the interior less strict and give originality.

As for the walls in the kitchen, here it is best to leave just a concrete surface or brickwork (or even imitate something like that artificially), which will emphasize the urban style. Some people use plain plaster and uniform textures for finishing. If a stretch ceiling is installed in the kitchen, it can be decorated with slats and metal elements.

What should be given special attention is household appliances, which can be either hidden or built-in. However, the option when it is in plain sight is also possible, only in this case it should be made in metal, chrome or carbon colors.

It is worth noting that there are practically no textiles in the high-tech kitchen. For window decoration, plain light tulle, contrasting to the walls, as well as curtains-threads are suitable.

If the furniture is upholstered in leather, then it should be gray, white or black. The fabric upholstery is selected to be monochromatic and muted. As in all rooms of a two-room apartment, you should adhere to two main rules in the selection of interior items: rationality and minimalism. The best option in this case would be modular furniture, decorated with matte, tinted or glossy glass.

High-tech bathroom decoration

A bathroom made in this style is suitable for those people who love practicality, convenience and, at the same time, modernity. The room in this case turns out to be restrained, functional and proportional.

A bathroom in a two-room high-tech apartment usually cannot boast of large dimensions. Therefore, the issue of saving space will be relevant here. It is necessary to adhere to minimalism in the decor, that is, only the necessary things should be present in the interior without any unnecessary accessories. Almost everything, from windows, shelves and doors to washbasins, often has right angles and lines.

For wall decoration in this case, if you stopped at painting, gray, silver and gray colors are used. It is best if two contrasting shades are chosen for decoration, for example, white and black.

It is worth noting that even the fittings should be selected in accordance with the stylistic direction. Most often in high-tech, these are parts made of aluminum or stainless steel with a chrome surface.

As you know, no bathroom can do without mirrors. In addition, they allow you to visually expand the space. A combination of mirrors with matte surfaces will look good. Hidden shelves made of mirrors will help to make the bathroom more stylish and practical. They can be used to store various items for hygiene procedures.

It is worth paying attention to the lighting. With its help, you can highlight the main areas. For this, it is best to use neon lamps or lights.

Despite the fact that for some, the high-tech style is monotonous, those who have developed imagination and systematic thinking should like it. By periodically replacing individual elements, you can ensure that the interior will always look new, which means that it will no longer be boring.
