Use of High-Tech style
A High-Tech interior is an ideal design for spacious apartments. But if the apartment is small, you need to know some visual tricks to magically expand the space. That’s why mirrors and large plasma TVs are common items in High-Tech apartments. This style usually combines the living and working rooms to create a single space.
Colors
Major High-Tech interior colors are the cool shades of gray and white. For accent colors, use metallic colors such as neon green and metallic orange, black and red.
Surface
If you incorporate a High-Tech interior in your apartment, go for glossy laminate and linoleum flooring or ceramic tiles. Avoid floral and striped pattern wallpapers. Plain wallpaper designs are a better option in a High-Tech interior. Besides, people often use mirror panels to cover the walls.
Furniture
High-Tech interior love shiny furniture. That’s why, coffee tables, TV stands, or shelves are decorated with glass to achieve a High-Tech look. Transparent and plastic materials will also work. The furniture upholstery is usually made of one-color soft and shiny leather. What’s more, pieces of furniture with unusual shapes will perfectly suit the style.
Accessories and décor
High-Tech interior does not need additional décoration. Plenty of lighting, chrome, and shiny surfaces already serve as decorative elements. However, if you think something is missing in the interior, you can add table lamps, surrealistic drawings, metal statues, and glass accessories. They will bring cozy vibes into space as well as lend a glamour look to the interior.
