What decor to choose for such self-sufficientstyles like minimalism and hi-tech? Is it necessary to do this at all? We continue the series of useful tips on decorating a space from designer Elena Teplitskaya. Interior decoration is a process that is, on the one hand, creative, and on the other, quite complex and requires certain knowledge, many of which are available only to professional decorators. So, in April of this year, as part of the Mosbuild exhibition, the famous designer shared with her students and colleagues tips on effective interior decoration. The information turned out to be so useful that we decided to devote a series of articles to it, in which we will reveal all the most important theses of the lecture, and we will start with the features of two modern styles at once - and minimalism. Elena Teplitskaya, designer Famous Russian designer, creator of interiors and designer clothes. She is known for her bold experiments with color and the ability to find organic design solutions even in outrageous projects. Studied at the Moscow State Academy of Art named after Stroganova, then in Switzerland and the UK. Since 1999, she has headed the Teplitskaya Design studio. A regular participant in Moscow Fashion Week. Elena Teplitskaya's style is a special attitude to architecture, interior, clothing, art objects, based on inner harmony and the ability to accurately convey the mood. www.teplitskaya.ru Colors and materials Minimalism and hi-tech are similar in many ways. Both are spacious, large volumes, clean lines. Among the dominant materials, we can highlight concrete, glass, metal and leather. The palette is almost always based on gray, black and white colors with the addition of silver, metallic and sometimes red. Lacquered and chrome surfaces predominate. It sounds brutal and very stylish, but all of the above refers to cold materials responsible for non-residential space. And if a monochrome gray-black-white range is added to concrete and glass, then we get a non-residential space squared. That is why in the interior, as much warmth as possible should be added to minimalist concrete and glass structures and the entire decor should be built on this principle.
Carpet Make the interior inThe right carpet will help make the minimalism or hi-tech style warmer and more tactilely pleasant. Try to find the most comfortable option with a long and thick pile. Also pay attention to Nepalese and other handmade woolen carpets.
Painting Be sure to hang it on the walla work of art: either a single large canvas or several small ones that form a single composition. Stylistically, minimalism and high-tech are best suited to abstract painting: from Rauschenberg, Rothko and Kandinsky to contemporary, including little-known artists.
Ethnic details Minimalist interiororganically complement and all sorts of . Your choice is metal and embossed items from China, Mongolia and Morocco, African totem idols, large vessels made of mango wood and light Indian basins. And you can find similar ethnic decor, for example, in the stores "Interiors of the Maharajas".
Hi-tech is linearity, linearity and more linearityLinearity. It makes us stop our gaze on something non-linear. Imagine such an interior: a gray floor, white walls, a gray sofa, a glass table on legs. The most necessary decor in this situation is something non-linear and textured: sculptures, large canvases, intricate ethnic items. Elena Teplitskaya, designer
