Is it possible to fuse into one cold and heat? Yes, high-tech meets the style that combines the chill of pragmatism and the warmth of the hearth.
Hi-tech in the interior
The direction of “high technology” arose in the 60s of the last century. And it flourished in the 80s, becoming a spectacular end to the era and, at the same time, a bridge to a new, robotic age.
Today, high-tech in the interior is not only high technology, but also prestige, because most modern business empires choose this, relevant interior style for their representations and offices.
Hi-tech: features and principles
The main idea of the concept is an artistic interpretation of the latest achievements of science and technology. It is embodied with the help of such techniques:
- Straight, hard, fast lines,
- An abundance of glass and metal parts,
- Transformation of mechanisms (elevators, ventilation systems) into elements of aesthetics,
- Widespread use of advanced technologies, the use of the latest household appliances,
- Frequent appeal to silver, metallic color,
- Restrained, “laconic” decor.
Hi-tech in the interior - an ode to engineering and technology. In homes where this style dominates, screens, monitors, sensors play, in addition to their main role, also aesthetic. They decorate the room, as once, in the old days, decorated baguettes of paintings and stucco molding. Even communications, wires and pipes in the house are not hidden, but displayed, transforming into decorative details.
The style "works" with space prudently and economically: if the partitions, then those that can be moved, removed, if the doors, then sliding, "going" into the walls.
Hi-tech: from concrete to plastic
Glass and metal are style favorites, however, high-tech is not against brick and concrete, uncovered or minimally processed. Plastic is hotly approved - hard, flexible, matte, transparent, in principle, any.
Ceilings - plain, smooth, better stretch. There are no patterned parquet floors and, especially, carpets below: only tiles or laminate with a “warm floor” system under them.
Hi-tech in the living room interior
A high-tech living room is often connected to the kitchen with a metal or plastic bar counter. It is advisable to dilute the gray, silver or white color of the room with bright "blots" - inserts of a cosmos-lilac, acid-green or juicy-orange. High-tech is not designed for halftones: the primary and secondary colors should be contrasting to each other.
Hi-tech in the interior of the kitchen
It is advisable to use all the reserves of style in the kitchen, as much as possible “stuffing” it with the latest household equipment and chrome utensils. An apron at the working area is best made of metal or frosted glass.

To alleviate dryness, the efficiency of high-tech is allowed in the bedroom. This is not difficult to achieve by reducing the proportion of glass and metal in favor of textiles - a pair of pillows or faux leather.
High tech bedroom interior
The hi-tech bathroom is always an example of elegance, it sparkles with nickel, glass and one-color tile, as well as a large, chased mirror. An ordinary faience sink should be preferred to a glass one, and the bathtub should be replaced with an ultra-modern shower.
A high-tech version of the bathroom in a more "classic" form ...Despite the strict framework, the hi-tech has a rather rich potential: for example, you can use doors with LEDs or three-layer countertops with the effect of broken glass.
Hi-tech: furniture and lamps
This style is inconceivable without laconic, but multifunctional furniture. For example, a bed without a headboard, but with integrated lighting, wardrobes with retractable structures. When furnishing a home, you should remember the main rules: there should not be a lot of furniture (no dressers, rocking chairs, benches and extra ottomans), more space should be left for equipment ...
You won’t spoil the porridge with oil, and high-tech with lamps. The more lamps, the better! True, provided that they are all built-in, mounted, monolithic with a ceiling or walls, and sconces in a recreation area are an example of innovation. 
High-tech in the interior: textiles and decorations
Curtains must be straight and stiff, without draperies and bends. To match the style they are coated with dust-repellent and sunscreen. If you want more, the windows can be curtained with strands of beads - transparent or matte.
High-tech is directed to the future, chintz, linen, satin from a grandmother's chest - not for him. The advantage is synthetic fabrics, the latest in the textile industry. Well, if their color imitates the radiance of the metal: mercury, brass, aluminum, copper.
How to decorate a home by damping its demonstrative "technogenicity"? Large black and white photos on the walls in expressive frames will cope with the task. Or plants that do not curl in lapidary ceramic flowerpots. Steampunk souvenirs and accessories come in handy - wall clocks, for example. A great option is a large rectangular aquarium: here there is glass, and a metal frame, and, in the end, the decor is in the form of picturesque fish.
High-tech is not only a style, but a way of life. It will fit energetic, confident, creative and fashionable. If you do not part with gadgets, adore all kinds of new devices, you know the biography of Steve Jobs, “on you” with any device and do not rush to get old ... High-tech is your philosophy of life.
High tech home features
The main distinguishing feature of the structure built in a modern style is strict geometric lines, a minimum of partitions and a maximum of space. In addition, there is no room for decor, strict proportions can be traced inside and outside the house, the whole structure has the correct geometric shape.
It is worth noting that only a wealthy person can afford to build such a house, since the price of building materials is extremely high. Significant financial investments also require professional design, development and implementation of the project. At the same time, the finished design is environmentally friendly, durable and economical in use.
High-tech is not only a style that involves the use of modern trends and building materials, but also a trend that has high functionality. Equipping your home with the "smart home" system, you can enjoy coziness and comfort by controlling the main functions of the house from the remote control or by programming them to work automatically. Built-in appliances will make it possible to make the house as modern as possible, and wind generators and solar panels will be independent of the networks.
Exterior of a modern home
A high-tech country house is a large and spacious structure, the number of floors of which depends on the taste of the homeowner and his financial capabilities. In addition, the number of storeys of the structure depends on the people living in the house, for example, if pensioners or children live in a country house, then a one-story building is preferable. In general, the high-tech style does not limit the future owner, so you can choose a more complex option with a multi-level house.
The facade of the hi-tech house is characterized by the abundant use of glass, visually increasing the space. The decor here replaces the intense lighting, creating a bright exterior appearance of the building. For facade decoration, artificial materials are used (concrete and metal, glass and plastic). Construction companies also offer houses made of concrete blocks, SIP panels, modular and frame structures.
Recently, this direction has received some adjustments, so that wood and brick are no longer banned. They can be used as decor, combining with other building materials. Bionic hi-tech is a combination of wood and metal, brick and plastic. The absence of decor in the exterior finish is compensated by glass and chrome details, while wood and brick only complement the picture, making it more harmonious.
As for the windows, this style in architecture involves the use of panoramic glazing, so there will be a lot of light inside the room. To reduce the heat load, the windows are covered with tinting or a special film that protects the interior from ultraviolet radiation. Window frames are made of aluminum or plastic, while the design is absolutely safe and lightweight. The window can be supplemented with a pergola - a functional canopy of geometric shape that protects the glass from sunlight.
Roof construction is another high-tech housing feature. During the construction of a country house, a flat roof is used (operated or not operated). For example, the roof surface can be equipped with a swimming pool, playground, relaxation area or solar panels. To complement the housing, increasing its functionality, you can add-ons, including a terrace and a garage.
High-tech country house interior
For interior decoration, only high-quality building materials are used, including natural wood, glass and metal. Design obeys the rules of ergonomics, because everything here should be not only attractive, but also concise. High-tech fully takes into account the interests of its owner, so that he lives here comfortably and comfortably.
One of the most important components of style is lighting, which should be a lot. In the best case, complex and combined lighting systems with several types of luminaires are used. Instead of curtains, windows use blinds, the main color palette is neutral tones (white, gray and black). All surfaces should be smooth, shiny or chrome, which allows you to visually increase the space.
Flooring - laminate or parquet, in the bathroom - bulk floor with heating. Ceilings - suspended or suspended with a complex system of LED lighting. Wall decoration - painting, plastering or coating with laminate, colors - light. In the bathroom, you can use the tiles, provided that there are no drawings and patterns on it.
High-tech is a style that loves functionality and space, which means that there should be a little furniture inside the house. For production, light and ergonomic materials with a shiny surface are used. To make the room more comfortable, furniture covered with leather or soft cloth will help. Accessories - metal (matt or chrome), while in the kitchen part of the furniture (cabinets and racks) can be completely metal.
If the budget allows, then even the furniture can be equipped with smart technologies, linking it with the information system of a country house. If bio-direction is used, then natural materials can be used here, while the lines can be smoothed and smoother. To create a cozy atmosphere, a carpet is used - plain with no patterns and long-pile patterns.
Key features and style features
