What materials to use in the high-tech interior of the kitchen
When creating an interior kitchen in a high-tech style, metallic colors and decorations predominate. For painting walls, paint is most often used. Perhaps its combination with plastic panels, artificial or natural stone, ceramic tiles( to decorate the working area above the stove and cutting table).Glue wallpaper is not recommended, but in some cases, you can look at the metallized options. Floors can be filled, tiled or tiled. No laminate and parquet! As for the ceiling, the tension and hinged structures from gypsum board are what you need. Complex multi-level compositions of various geometric shapes are welcomed.
Furniture for the kitchen in high-tech style
The furniture in the high-tech kitchen is characterized by functionality, ergonomics and simplicity of the lines, which are folded into laconic and easy to perceive shapes. Each of them should serve the idea of rational use of available space. Modular sets, including numerous lockers( hinged and floor), boxes and niches for embedding household appliances will be an ideal solution.
Pay special attention to the materials of furniture manufacture. For this style is typical application:
- glass;
- plastic;
- acrylic;
- metal( chrome-plated elements in special favor);
- stone( used for countertops).
They differ in wear resistance, immunity to most external influences and ease of care.
Use the following tips for choosing kitchen furniture in hi-tech style:
- Backlighting should become a must for its decoration. It looks especially original at the bottom of the products. It seems that they are hovering over the floor.
- Do not be afraid to pay attention to unusual chairs and tables. Bizarre combinations of materials and originality of forms( originality, not complexity!) Will create a sense of something unearthly in such an interior.
- This style does not accept any decor on it. If possible, minimize even the number of pens - instead of the traditional protruding options, let it be the grooves in the facade.
- If you plan to connect the kitchen to the living room or dining room, purchase a bar rack made of glass and chrome pipes. It will favorably emphasize the style solution and will allow to differentiate the functional zones in the room.
Attention to detail - decor and lighting
Light in any room plays an important role, and the kitchen in high-tech style was no exception. Here, designers advise to pay attention not only to the design of the window( if it is a question of natural lighting), but also on the glass itself in its opening. If possible, this should be a solid canvas, not separated by frame elements. Curtains in the traditional sense is to say a solid "no."Ideally, the window remains completely open. If for some reason this is not your case, then choose:
- aluminum blinds;
- single-color roll or Roman blinds.
There should be several artificial lighting points in the room. Rarely you can do with one ceiling lamp, no matter how original it was. More often above each zone( a dining table, a place of preparation of food) is the source of light, and even a little.
The decor in such a room should be a bit. Most often we are talking about pots with indoor plants( a couple of pieces will be enough), minimalist paintings, monochrome vases and bright dishes placed on a table with fruits.
Advantages and disadvantages of high-tech style
Advantages of this interior:
- The hi-tech style is an excellent solution for a small kitchen. A light color scheme, a large number of glass and chrome surfaces will make it visually more spacious.
- Functional furniture with modern filling in the form of boxes, shelves and grids will ensure the availability of necessary items literally at hand.
- Any novelty of household appliances will always come in handy in such a kitchen.
- The absence of unnecessary elements allows not to be distracted during cooking and facilitates movement around the room.
- Smooth surfaces, lack of intricate decor, textiles - all this makes it easy to maintain cleanliness. For the kitchen this is very important.
As for the shortcomings, they can be considered relative.
- Glossy surfaces easily leave fingerprints. However, with the ease of harvesting mentioned above, you can only overcome your laziness.
- Excessive severity of the interior, its brevity does not fit all. In this case it is better to stop the choice on the other direction of the design.
Thus, cutting-edge high-tech in the kitchen is an excellent solution for people who appreciate convenience, comfort and high technologies.
