Techno-style in the interior is suitable for young, energetic and free people who do not care too much about warmth and comfort in the house. Deliberate negligence, minimalism and artistic mess distinguishes this one from other interiors. However, in the skillful hands of designers, this style in the living room gets a special chic. Appeared in the eighties of the last century, it has already ceased to amaze people with its unusualness and is firmly rooted in many homes.
Design features
Techno design concept - creating an interior that resembles a production room. The priority among finishing materials is concrete, glass, metal. They should form the basis in decoration and decor.
Initially, the techno style was distinguished by the use of rough texture and carelessness in design. Over time, it was interpreted, now the situation is carefully thought out andimmaculate in every detail.
Modern techno style has incorporated the features of several trends in design, but still it has distinctive features:
- Clean lines throughout.
- Strict geometric shapes.
- Restraint of the color palette.
- Transparent, functional, but unusual furniture.
- Metal and glass household items.
- The most modern household appliances.
- Futuristic lighting.
- Heavy metal doors.
- Spiral staircase (in private households).
- Walls with a rough surface.
- A minimum of textiles and decor items.
Very often in this style interiors of bars, clubs, venues for events of foreign DJs are decorated.
Finishing materials
The design uses novelties in finishing materials. The walls are equipped with plastic or metal panels. Often use brickwork without a finish coat. Also, the walls are finished with textured plaster with the effect of negligence or decorative brick-like tiles. Sometimes a concrete coating is used, which is then treated with decorative varnish.
Porcelain stoneware, tiles, marble are used for flooring. For the installation of interior partitions, metal, glass, mirrors are used. Ceilings can be designed in several ways:
- classic stretch with backlight;
- decorative beams and ceilings on rough concretebasis;
- metal or plastic panels on the ceiling.
Special attention in the techno-style interior is given to various communications. They are not hidden here, but put on display. Radiators, pipes, sockets are specially painted in a rich color (rust, metallic) or covered with glass panels.
Doors and windows
The techno-style theme in the interior is complemented by metal doors. They are made massive, and in addition there are decorative rivets, frosted glass inserts. The ascetic style does not imply classic comfort, so there should not be lush curtains with draperies, flounces, lambrequins on the windows either. Blinds, Roman, Japanese or roller blinds will successfully fit into the interior.
Lighting
One of the important elements of techno-style in the interior is lighting. This design is characterized by an abundance of light and a spectacular intersection of light rays. Rooms are equipped with lamps of non-standard shape, more like professional devices on tripods. Searchlights, telescopic structures that can be rotated in different directions and at any angle - everything is appropriate here.
The chandelier in the center of the room is chosen of the original design, the light bulbs should not be covered with shades. You can hang a large fan with bulbs built into it from the ceiling.
Chandeliers made of narrow metal plates look harmoniously in the techno interior. Floor lamps are decorated with a metal lampshade, and table lamps with a glass bulb.
Furniture
The style itself implies that there should be a minimum amount of furniture. Acquire the most comfortable and functional furniture of geometric shape. Carved decorative elements, moldings and other design options are inappropriate here. They choose designs of restrained colors, distinguished by the severity of forms and made of plastic, metal or glass. Techno furniture options:
- low geometric sofas with metal armrests;
- low glass tables on wheels;
- metal cabinets;
- cabinets that resemble a safe;
- plastic chairs;
- simple stools with three legs;
- special accent - bed on steel chains.
All furniture should reflect the result of technological progress, be practical and functional.
Color design
Cold colors (metallic, shades of gray and white) should prevail in the interior. It is allowed to use blue, purple or eggplant as an accent. The discreet palette of colors does not look boring, as it is replaced by the play of light and the originality of the design.
Techno style rooms
Kitchen. White plates will not be appropriate here, all utensils should be metal. A special role in the techno-style kitchen is played by a set, which is best made to order. To decorate the facades of kitchen cabinets, the surface is varnished or coated with metal-like paint. Household appliances should be the most modern (preferably an unusual, futuristic form). For walls usewaterproof paint or brickwork. The apron is made of glass or metal sheet
Living room. Walls made of concrete, brick can be left untreated or simple rough plaster can be applied to them. As a ceiling covering, metal plates resembling shields are used. You can close the ceiling with glossy plastic panels. Textiles and decor items are practically not used here, as a strict and ascetic style does not harmonize with soft bedspreads and fluffy carpets
