High-tech entrance hall
Hallway or front - room at the entrance to the apartment or house. The first impression of the guest about the host’s housing will be formed in this place in the first seconds after the entrance door is opened. The high-tech entrance hall will say that the owner of the house is a modern, free-thinking person, an advanced user of high technologies.
High-tech hallway features
One of the trends in design, hi-tech style, architects classify as late modernism, in which minimalism, pop art, avant-garde intricately intertwined. In the early 1960s, the British were the first to unite pop art with science fiction, which became the basis for the development of the “high technology” direction, which was strange at that time. Subsequently, the architectural style has become one of the components of the idea of interior design. The period of the 1980s approved the prestige of hi-tech, the headquarters of banks and corporations clearly advertised the wealth and power of the owners.
Willingness to use high-tech in the interiors will have to be supported by opportunities, since adherence to the principles of avant-garde style requires resources and ingenuity. Ordinary hallways do not have windows, small in size, they have no open space. Some may simply not draw the fundamental principles of style, then they will be violated, and the interior will be disharmonious. The use of constantly improving modern materials and technical innovations facilitates the design of high-tech interior.
Layout
The layouts of most dwellings in standard series houses include hallways of a small area, worse, of a corridor type. The main principle of creating the interior of such premises is simple utilitarianism. High-tech is suitable for decoration of small narrow hallways, in which exclusively necessary pieces of furniture are placed, without unnecessary trifles.
High-tech style is distinguished by concreteness, conciseness of straight lines and hidden forms. It combines beauty, practicality. It is possible to enter hi-tech into small hallways using versatile and compact pieces of furniture, built-in light sources. Any hallway is required to perform its functions. For this, it is advisable to place a wardrobe for clothes, a shoe stand, a mirror, a chair or a bench in a small area.
Planning examples
- A narrow entrance hall in high-tech style is shown in the photo. The interior resembles the passage of a spacecraft — an inconspicuous cupboard, a banquet-stool, imitating metal doors with a canvas, reinforced with decorative rivets, and a floor made of granite. The presence on the wall of the doorphone panel, contrasting outlets and switches add technicality to the general appearance. Naturalness and comfort own the hallway.
- Happy owners of spacious hallways and halls can not limit their own imagination, using high-tech style. The use of space, modern materials, the latest models of technology with fashionable furniture will help to implement the design with the execution of all the principles of style. A narrow corridor of a large area is shown in the photo.
Awesome round mirror, doors with glass inserts, chrome fittings, lamps, located along the entire length of the corridor, walls painted with light gray paint - everything looks stylish. Glossy dark floor, contrasting white plinth - that is how the high-tech interior of a spacious dwelling turned out.
Finish
The hallway plays the role of a link between the outside world and the living rooms, the task of the room is a kind of protection from external influences. Frequent and thorough cleaning of the hall requires finishing with wear-resistant materials. Walls, floors should be easy to wash, even with the use of disinfectants.
Sophisticated design of the hall in the style of high-tech made of shiny glass and metal, the latest advances in technology and composite plastics. the room should be finished with high-quality, durable, easy-to-care materials, otherwise the front one will not make the proper impression.
Floor
Durable floor hallway trimmed with ceramic tiles, this method is the most popular. The tile simply washes, dries quickly, the surface wears out a little, it is resistant to scratches from the claws of pets. But such coverage should be protected from the fall of heavy things, otherwise the tile will crack. The self-leveling floor is a luxurious solution, possesses the best qualities of ceramic tiles, and is also resistant to impacts. Laminate flooring on the floor of the hallway is high class, the room requires it.
Walls
Plain washable wallpaper on the walls - a simple solution that will be suitable budget option. The focus on one wall with wallpaper with original techno ornament will visually increase the area.
Smooth and smooth walls can be covered with matte paint, which is easy to find in hardware stores. Liquid wallpaper - another option to refine the walls. The advantage of this material is that it is easy to replace a contaminated place without affecting other areas.
Ceiling
The ceiling of the hallway is better to stretch. Smooth, smooth, with built-in lights, the ceiling perfectly matches the high-tech style and meets all its requirements.
The monochrome gamut of hi-tech consists of shades of gray, from white to black. The high-tech room will enliven the addition of bright fluorescent colors as decor. A colored frame at the mirror, bright upholstered benches or ottoman will make the interior more cheerful. It is desirable to withstand selected tonal combinations, outlined surface structures to create a high-class finish.
Important! Keep simplicity and elegance, do not overload the interior of the hallway with color and decor.
When selecting materials, stop the choice on durable, environmentally friendly specimens resistant to mechanical and chemical influences.
Lighting
The principle of over-lighting is best suited for the interior design of the hallway in the high-tech style. Competently planned light visually expands the space of the entrance room, makes it joyful and elegant. Typical hallways and corridors do not have windows, there is no natural lighting. Installed everywhere fixtures solve the problem of illumination.
Halogen stretch ceiling lamps provide top light. Zone lighting is organized in several ways:
- Original wall lamps genre techno;
- Lighting, mounted in mirrors and cabinets;
- Creating a pseudo window on the wall or ceiling;
- Spot mounted in the floor.
Bright lighting advantageously shows the design interior of the hallway. At the same time, it must be remembered that the ideal light is switched on independently in each separate zone. Different types of lighting devices make it possible to change the exposure from muted to bright.
Furniture in the hallway
The choice of furniture for the hallway of high-tech style is subject to the principles of strict conciseness, seasoned geometry of forms. Convenience down to the smallest detail is the main goal of the hallway furniture. The color of furniture differs by one or two tones from the main color of the finish, unless the contrasting pattern has become the rule of decoration. The interior trick softens the perception, makes the objects unobtrusive, neat, without causing the hallway to feel like a mess. The doors on the furniture are shiny, glossy, create one surface. Furniture fittings hidden or chrome.
Compact modular furniture that carries a double load is welcomed, for example, an ottoman with a shelf for shoes; Closed wardrobe with side shelves for small items in the photo. Sometimes for the full use of space it is worth ordering furniture according to individual sizes. Glossy high-tech hallways, made to order, take into account the characteristics of the room, fully comply with the intended design, color scheme.
New-fashioned technical devices will serve twice: as functional devices for restricting access to an apartment or house on the one hand, as a decorative detail that complements the interior, on the other.
Note! It is necessary to have a mirror in the hallway, which, to save space, is hung like a closet door. Mirror, glossy planes of furniture facades visually push the boundaries, as can be seen in the presented photos.
A full, eventful life of active people requires convenience and practicality, simplicity and elegance. Returning home every day, I want to see the light, comfort and order. The entrance hall will fulfill your wishes.
