High-tech style
High-tech style (from high technology) in the interior design appeared in the early 1930s. Hi-Tech brings a sense of light and space into the interior, focuses not on the color scheme or pattern, but on the form and texture of architectural details and interior items.
This style is characterized by rapid, straight lines, an abundance of glass and metal parts. Hi-tech can be attributed to cutting-edge styles, it uses designs typical of industrial buildings. Hi-tech interiors are usually filled with technically advanced furniture and accessories, objects and materials related to technology: stainless steel and chrome surfaces, bent metal pipes, rotating seats, level modifications. Mobile partitions are widely used, capable of closing and opening the space, that allows you to change the layout. Technological design is everywhere: ceilings, walls, floors, stairs, windows, doors. The complete lack of decor is compensated by the “work” of the material: light on glass, chrome, wood polish, etc.
Eco-style
Many people would like to live in harmony with nature. Most of them cannot remain indifferent when hearing the sounds of a stream and birds singing, feeling the fresh air and admiring the beautiful scenery. It’s not that easy, unfortunately, when you’re living in a large metropolis. However, there are options for getting a little closer to nature by changing your place. Given the needs and tastes of many people who prefer an eco-interior, designers have created a completely new style. Eco-style was created specifically for those who wish to live in harmony with nature, creating a clean and ecological interior in their home.
The creation of this style includes exclusively environmentally friendly materials, natural finishes and accessories. Designers working on projects in this style do not exclude the presence of modern technology. However, it is not too prominent, because the main distinguishing feature of this style is the rest from all digital technologies. The materials that are used to create this interior style have a natural texture, without any color. Large and spacious rooms are especially suitable for interior in eco-style. An important role is played by lighting, which must also be natural. Therefore, large windows are especially suitable here, and they should be wooden, not plastic.
Lots of wood, plants, eco-shaped details and natural ornaments – are the key features of the eco-style.
Kitsch style
The definition of “kitsch-interior” appeared relatively recently and it means a new-fangled category of interiors. The main idea of kitsch is a mockery of history and artistic traditions, tastes and styles. This is a kind of nihilism in architectural design, denying all its previous achievements. Frank tastelessness that becomes the principle of choice, and the striking incompatibility of colors and interior items are its main distinguishing features. For example, gilded stucco molding on the cornice, on the bright blue ceiling - large shiny stars, tubs with palm trees are symmetrically standing on the walls, and the floor is lined with ceramic tiles with oriental motifs.
Translated from German, the word "Kitsch" means - bad taste, botchery.
A kitsch design appeared in Germany in the mid-19th century.
Kitsch is easily recognized by the mixture of objects that, according to the logic of other styles, should not be mixed. If, for example, baroque is characterized by pomposity, velvet, gilding, art nouveau - smooth lines, wood and natural colors, and kitsch is a handmade Provence style pillow on a leather avant-garde sofa, an exquisite baroque pattern on bright pink walls combined with pop art furniture.
Main features of Kitsch:
- Pronounced contrasts in colors and shades. For example, pastel colors alternate with bright, acidic colors.
- Classic and avant-garde furniture in one room and minimalist in the other.
- A mix of materials from wood and plastic to metal and wool, etc.
- The combination of antiques and modern products.
- The use of materials that mimic others - linoleum for parquet or stone, wall panels for wood, artificial animal skins.
- Mass production decor - figurines, sculptures, souvenirs.
