How to decorate an interior in the style of futurism?

The main principles of futurism

The main distinguishing features of futurism in the interior:

• Smooth lines. Quirky designs in decoration and furniture do not tolerate sharp corners.
• A look into the future. Streamlined forms, colored or monochrome lighting - all this reminds of an apartment from 3000 years old.
• Minimalism. While these two styles look different on the outside, they share the same negative opinion about open storage, useless decor, and a lot of things in the house.
• Rational use of space. The free space must either be occupied with something necessary, or not at all.
• Multifunctional things. This applies to both furniture (chair-bed, transforming table) and decor.
• Modern finishing materials. Bet on glass, plastic, metal surfaces.
• Advanced technology. Often, apartments are equipped with a “Smart Home” or other modern technology options. She also needs to look cosmic.

Color spectrum

The main color in the design of the futuristic interior is white. It is perfectly suited for creating a laconic interior of the future. A clean, luminous shade accumulates light and reflects it, making a futuristic apartment even brighter and more unusual.

Additional monochrome shades of futurism - silver (any metals), gray, beige, black. The decor (especially paintings) often contains pure scarlet, yellow, green tones.

To support the theme of space, you can use the blue-violet scale.

A futuristic children's bedroom doesn't have to be monochrome. The combination of white with bright blue, pink, yellow, light green accents also takes place.

Stylish finish

A futuristic room starts with finishing work.

• Floor. The only surface that can be framed in wood. But the most suitable for futurism will be a self-leveling floor, concrete or plain from any suitable material.

• Walls. The easiest way is to paint in one suitable color or combine different shades (make an accent wall). Often vertical surfaces in futurism are decorated with panels of unusual shapes - from strict geometric to soft streamlined. Panels are either just decorative or light. If you need to increase the space or achieve additional lighting, use mirrors.
• Ceiling. Standard white suits all directions, including futuristic interiors.

Furniture and accessories

Futurism in the interior of the apartment stands for a reduction in the amount of furniture, therefore, only the most necessary things are allowed to be supplied.

The minimum set for each room is different:

• Kitchen: set, table, chairs.
• Living room: sofa, table, equipment console.
• Bedroom: bed, nightstand, wardrobe.

Due to this limitation, multifunctional parts are especially popular. A sofa that converts into a bed. A pouf that is used as a table, seat and bench for feet.

Futurism in design sets its own requirements for the appearance of furniture:

• round, oval, streamlined shapes;
• bent legs or their absence;
• the main material is plastic, glass, leather, metal.

Furniture in the style of futurism can be monolithic - for example, a wardrobe to the ceiling, a table as an extension of the wall. And mobile - an easy chair, a table on wheels.

When choosing cabinet furniture, pay attention to radial glossy facades, modern plastic or glass models. As a soft one, it is worth considering frameless armchairs and sofas, or options with a metal or plastic body.

Lighting

Using futurism in the design of your home, you cannot ignore the light - it is he who gives the interior a space charm. Luminaires in the style of futurism in the interior meet the latest design trends.

Suitable options:

• LED Strip Light. The lighting of the floating bed, work area in the kitchen and other contours add a futuristic effect.
• Spotlights. They give a lot of light, while remaining almost invisible.
• Diode flat chandelier. For futurism - in the form of a circle or a non-standard rounded shape.
• Chandelier ball. She imitates the sun or the moon, being a competent reference to the cosmic theme.
• Imitation of the starry sky. A scattering of small diodes, a projector or phosphor stars on the ceiling look especially good in children's rooms, bedrooms, living rooms.

Create a backlight in such a way that all the required functional areas are highlighted. At the same time, the impression was created that it was not a separate chandelier or sconce that was shining, but the whole room as a whole.

Examples in the interior of rooms

Futurism in the interior of the bedroom is usually based on the theme of spaceships. The first step is to choose a bed - most often round, or a smooth rectangular shape, but with a plastic "canopy". A floating bed with neon lighting on the bottom will fit perfectly. Naturally, there should not be any bedding with flowers - only solid white, gray, blue or black.

A futuristic kitchen starts with glossy straight or curved curved fronts. Built-in lighting is not just a decorative element, but also an additional light in the work area. The dining table is ideally plastic or glass, chairs are made of plastic.

Glossy facades will also be needed for cabinet furniture in the living room. The storage area should be as closed as possible. A large sofa, armchairs, a glass, plastic and metal coffee table and a TV or projector remain in sight.

The bathroom is usually monochrome and luminous. Emphasis should be placed on plumbing - a wall-hung toilet with a hidden drainage system, an unusual shape of the bathroom bowl, an overhead round sink.
