Useful advice for those who decide to make a high-tech renovation in their apartment: what it looks like, what are its distinctive features. Video and photographs of interiors. There can be a lot of options for arranging your home. Besides standards already invented and applied in practice, there is individuality. In creating comfort, someone is guided by fashion trends, someone is guided by furniture and accessories made of modern materials, but, with all this, much attention is paid to the hobbies and character of the owner himself. Of all the design solutions: classic style, rustic, palace style, rich oriental, etc., the most popular is hi-tech.
The high-tech style is in demand because of its versatility. An advanced person who uses many technological innovations in our dynamic time needs more space instead of solemn pathos. How to create a high-tech style at home? Is it possible not to use the advice of a specialist in this matter? With the help of a few recommendations and sample photos, this will be easier.
Modern high-tech is not suitable for everyone
When visiting, the first thing that comes to mind from the seen environment is thoughts about the character of the owner: stingy or rich, family or single, neat or sloppy. According to the situation, you can also decide on the tastes of the owner of the square meters. For example, a nature lover is distinguished by the presence of domestic plants and / or an animal. And what is the distinctive character trait of people if their apartment has solid plastic and modern technology? These "tenants" are characterized by prudence and a "cold mind". Indeed, getting into the living room of such a person, you understand how he saves his time using "smart" technology.
Characteristic differences of a high-tech living room
- The style is discreet with no frills.
- Glass partitions are used to expand the space. In some cases, they are "diluted" with metallic elements.
- Clear geometric shapes. Most of the lines are strict. This applies not only to door and window openings, but also to pieces of furniture.
- The room is furnished with modern appliances of the latest generation.
- All kinds of lighting (backlighting).
There are not so many color solutions: black, white, beige, gray, sand and combinations of these colors. It is even better if metallic shades are used. In all this "coldness" it is allowed to accentuate some objects with a bright spot - red.
A big plus in the versatility of the "high" style. It can be created both in studio apartments and in small-sized standard apartments.
Is it possible to create a high-tech living room style with your own hands?
Still, there is no need to rush to implement the idea. At first glance (due to restraint), the high-tech style is easy to create. This is not true. It is not enough to hang glass shelves and instruct functional techniques. Before starting a renovation, take a look at the photos of ready-made design solutions and take into account the typical mistakes:
- high-tech stucco elements, wooden floors, and patterned murals are not combined in high-tech. This list is complemented by floral motifs in the interior of the room: multi-colored curtains, carpets and rugs, blankets, soft pillows - by no means;
- since this is minimalism, it is very difficult to create a complete harmony of all objects and elements. Your amateurishness in the art of design should be covered by financial freedom and the ability to "redraw" the room completely;
- old technology is not high technology. Leaving it after repair is a mistake.
Step-by-step instructions for repair work
After you have chosen the most suitable one from all the interiors in the photographs, we proceed to practice.
1. Finishing of the ceiling, walls, floor
The easiest and most suitable for high-tech style is a suspended ceiling with built-in small lamps. The suspended ceiling can be either plasterboard or metal slats. The walls should be flat and smooth. Only light glossy or matte paint can "decorate" them, if you want wallpaper - buy light monophonic ones. A more advanced living room will be made by wall panels: glossy or polystyrene mirrors.
The floor can be covered with practical ceramic tiles, laminate or plain linoleum.
2. Decorating windows and creating general lighting
The high-tech style is perfectly matched by the blinds. Any: horizontal or vertical - if only monochromatic and light. If it seems too cold, then “soften” the metal with medium-density plain curtains.
Nothing can be better than natural sunlight - a fact. And you can create space with the skillful use of built-in lighting devices and halogen lamps. It's better to forget about chandeliers. Floor lamps are allowed in the style.
3. We arrange furniture
Furnishing a high-tech living room with furniture, only functional and modular items are purchased. The stores are full of similar chairs and wardrobes. They do not clutter up the space and accommodate all things that are used by residents in everyday life. Particular attention to built-in furniture: transforming sofas and armchairs in geometric simple shapes. Everything is monochromatic. A bright spot in the form of an element of upholstered furniture with bright red upholstery will revive the interior.
You can't do without glass shelves. To the place will be glass tables and plastic chairs of the original form, metal parts and accessories, shelving.

4. Decoration in the interior
Where high technology is present, there is little need to decorate. The main feature of this style is minimalism and restraint. But if you wanted individuality, then the decor should be "right".
Smooth light walls can be "decorated" with author's photographs, black and white photographs in a metal frame. On the shelves, glass objects of unusual shape and figurines (again, made of metal or its imitation) will look great.
Anyone who wants more warmth in this cold, metallic space can decorate the floor with a solid color long pile carpet. For those who love wildlife and know how to take care of it at home, you can purchase an excellent addition - a large aquarium with rare bright fish.
