All about high-tech bedrooms

Hi-tech is a style with characteristic swift and straight lines, the decor of which is restrained. High-tech bedroom design involves the use of a large number of glass and metal elements.

Hi-tech refers to modern styles, to be more precise, to late modernism. Designers were inspired by the revolutionary events of the 60s of the XX century, but, despite the relevance of the ideas, hi-tech received public approval only in the 1980s.

You can find out hi-tech by the main features, which include:

• the use of tubular metal structures;

• room decoration in silver shades;

• lack of decor;

• application of elements of cubism.

A bedroom decorated in this style, at first glance, seems very dry and too simple, but on closer inspection, you can see all the variety and richness of interior details.

Following the principles of this style, you can get a beautiful and comfortable room:

• bedroom decoration with maximum efficiency and practicality;

• open and spacious space through the use of glass and metal;

• lack of partitions and dividing the room into zones;

• minimal use of various kinds of jewelry;

• a large amount of backlighting with cold shades;

• seams, wires and fasteners are not hidden behind furniture or decorative elements;

• the use of modern technology, an abundance of new products.

The creation of your space room must start with the interior decoration of the room. Decorating walls, floors and ceilings takes up most of the renovation time. Before embarking on this crucial step, you need to carefully think over every centimeter of the bedroom, mentally place the furniture, create several sketches, which will show the location of the decor and the type of coating.

Despite the fact that the style itself is strict and, one might say, cosmic, the most common "earthly" materials - wallpapers and panels - are suitable for wall decoration.

Wallpaper, if other options are not considered, it is best to purchase vinyl or acrylic. The coating should be without bright patterns and without ornamentsattracting attention. It is worth stopping at the standard colors - black, gray or white.

Metallic wallpapers are rare even in specialized stores, but finding them on the Internet and ordering is not difficult. Both monochromatic and patterned, they are ideal if the bedroom is decorated in a high-tech style.

Wall murals are quite difficult to find. Not only the style depends on the image, but also the appearance - some can visually expand the space in a small room, while others, on the contrary, reduce the room.

Plastic and gypsum panels will come in handy... They are quite budget materials, require minimal maintenance and are easy to install - even a beginner in repair work can handle the installation of panels on drywall. Gray and white shades are combined with any colors in the room, and the image against such a background (most often it is voluminous) is perfect for the design of a high-tech room.

During repairs, you need to pay attention to the flooring - you should immediately forget about parquet and natural stones.

The best options are:

• laminate;

• porcelain stoneware;

• linoleum;

• tile;

• quartz vinyl;

• plain carpets.

Ceiling decoration is the most difficult. Designers advise not to save money - and order a black glossy stretch ceiling. It has many advantages:

• a flat surface that hides all the imperfections of the ceiling;

• spectacular and rich color;

• the ability to create an imitation of the night sky, strewn with stars.

There were some drawbacks here:

• on a poorly executed black ceiling, all the seams will be visible;

• caring for him is not the easiest - divorces may remain from ordinary funds;

• installing such a ceiling will hit your pocket great.

Another finishing option is the creation of a two-level ceiling with built-in lights. The levels can be either of the same color, separated from each other by illumination, or different - in this case, they do not merge due to contrast.

The choice of furniture in the bedroom must be approached with all responsibility. The appearance of the room and the comfort of its use depend on it.

There are several options worth paying attention to.

• Modular bedroom set... Despite the severity of the style, the furniture remains soft. To make it fit into the interior, it is better to choose rectangular leather sofas or metal beds. Bed linen should be consistent with style and in solid colors.

• Chairsmade of metal pipes. They look gorgeous in any interior.

• Glass racks... Timeless high-tech classics.

• Closet... It is best to choose dark, lacquered models with mirrors.

• Table with elements of metal and glass... It will not only look stylish in the bedroom, but also serve the owners for a long time. However, in a room where small children live, it is better to install a black wooden table.

• Unusual armchairs... They need to be comfortable, eye-catching and mesmerizing.

In the high-tech style, everything looks so simple and monotonous that it seems that designers use only three colors - white, black and gray. However, this is not at all the case, the choice of shades is quite large.

• To create a cozy atmosphere the whole range of beige, chocolate and coffee tones can be used.

• Black and white version is also popular. It looks stylish and austere, but it doesn't have that overwhelming atmosphere as when using one color.

• Shades of gray look great if you add a bright accent, for example, yellow pillows.

• Blue LEDs match with both white and gray walls... Against the background of the black ceiling, they look just magical.

• Steel blue can be diluted with a more subtle shade such as ivory or pearl white.

• Pink tones will also not be superfluous. It is important to choose cool shades: royal or lavender pink.

Even if the backlight is built in, you will have to install the main lamp. High-tech chandeliers are created from lightweight metal and glass materials. They are usually done in black and white and have several backlighting options. If you plan to place several small lamps on the ceiling, it must be remembered that high-tech implies the use of strict straight lines even in the installation of light bulbs.

Despite the fact that the decor for high-tech is clearly superfluous, even this strict style can be diluted.

• The more mirrors the better - one of the main principles of this style. The unusual shape and lighting will make the room look more like an alien ship.

• Use of paintings and decorative panels with the image of smoke, fog, broken glass or abstractions, too, will not be superfluous. However, if you create them yourself, you may have problems with the choice of colors, and as a result you get a cozy room in a minimalist style instead of the desired hi-tech.

• Modern LED Wall Clock will make you forget that you are on planet Earth and not in outer space. It is worth remembering that placing them over a bed or sofa is a bad idea, because their light will interfere with healthy sleep.

• Shelvesmade in one line look great on a wall that is free of furniture. The backlight will fit into the interior, but it is important to note that it should be the same color throughout the room.

• Curtains in the high-tech style, they are distinguished by the lack of luxury and bright colors, they are based on the minimal use of decor. It is best to choose models from dense and dark materials, behind which daylight will not be visible.

Here are the varieties of curtains that are suitable for a high-tech bedroom.

1. Roll... They seem to be created for high-tech, they are distinguished by a simple design, functionality and a stylish look.

2. Roman... These curtains do not differ much from the previous type, contain a small amount of folds that attract attention, can be used both with light fabrics, and separately from them.

3. Japanese... They are a rectangular frame on which a dense fabric is stretched. Not the most stylish option, but fits perfectly in some designs.

It is not so easy to design a high-tech teenage bedroom. In this case, it is worth using contrasting colors - gray along with yellow or greenish. If there is a TV in the room, it should be placed on the wall. Shelves for books, if any, should be unusual in shape to further attract attention.

Photo wallpaper on the wall should overlap with furniture elements: you can put a carpet or a rug in the same shades in the room. It will not be superfluous to use unusual chairs - in the form of a ball or hanging.

The monochrome bedroom looks rather modest, but at the same time strikes with its atmosphere. The accent can be made with the help of lighting: under the bed, in the shelves or on the ceiling.

It is very difficult to find a bed of an unusual shape, but such a design will perfectly fit into the interior.

Not everyone will like the mirror canvas opposite the bed, but it looks truly magical.
