Bathroom and toilet

In a pop art restroom, as in any other room, the emphasis can be on decoration or filling. One of the options for decorating a bathroom or toilet in the style of pop art is finishing with thematic tiles; on a plain background from a mosaic tile, there can be a large image of cartoon characters or comic-style portraits. Another design option will be a calm color of the finish and bright plumbing, for example, a yellow sink combined with red accessories.

Hallway

Even in the interior of a hallway with a modest size, the pop art style can exist quite comfortably and harmoniously. One of the walls painted in a defiant bright color or decorated with 3D wallpaper will look more than appropriate in a duet with mirrored and reflective surfaces.

Cabinet

A stylish office for a creative person can be filled with the most daring colors that contribute to performance. The walls will be decorated with motivational posters and reproductions of famous paintings. For furniture, a creative table and armchair, a shelf along the wall and a couple of multi-colored ottomans are suitable.

Finishing features

Walls

Each of the walls can be a separate art object. Most often, white or light colors are used as a basis, which is superimposed on many details, such as posters, reproductions of paintings, design objects or comic book images.

Another way of decorating the walls is wallpaper, an interesting option would be wallpaper with a general pattern, but in different colors. The decoration of one of the walls in a contrasting color or with a canvas of photo wallpaper will look good.

Floor

When renovating and choosing a floor covering, it is necessary to decide what role it plays in the design of the room. If this is the main object in the interior on which attention is focused, then bright colors and unusual textures, for example, a multi-colored carpet, will be appropriate. In other cases, it is worth choosing a discreet palette and a classic way of finishing, such as plain tiles or light laminate.

Ceiling

It can have any shape, a single-level glossy ceiling and multi-level structures in which you can combine different colors and textures will look equally good. In a compact room, it is more appropriate to use a single-level ceiling with a reflective surface. It will fully correspond to the stylistic direction and visually make the room taller.

Furniture selection

When choosing furniture in the style of pop art, you should adhere to the only rule - do not overload the interior with unnecessary bulky items. The furniture has no sharp corners, the shapes are smooth and rounded. The material is most often used unnatural, plastic, glass, artificial leather.

Sofa and armchair

The main piece of furniture in the living room, the shape can be close to the classic model, but with bright and unusual upholstery, such as bright red velvet or leopard print. Or have an extravagant shape in the form of body parts, faces or animals.

If the sofa and armchair are located in the same zone, then the colors are chosen differently. Furniture items can have common motives, for example, a common theme, a decor item or one of the shades, otherwise they are two separate items. An armchair as a separate piece of furniture, for example, in a bedroom by a dressing table, can become the main object due to its unusual shape and upholstery.

Curbstone

An interesting interior solution will be your own design. The pop art style "loves" hand-made decoration, a sideboard or chest of drawers will become the object. The surface can be painted with sketches from comics or pasted over with unusual decorative details.

Table and chairs

There is no need to find the perfect matching dining group. Chairs with the same frame, but different colors will look harmoniously with a glass round table.

Bed

It can have both a classic and a round shape. The bed frame is made of different materials, it can be eco-leather, fabric, wood. Due to the bright color of the frame or bed linen, the bed becomes the central object of the bedroom.

Cabinets and racks

Large wardrobes are not typical for the pop art style; it is more appropriate to make built-in shelves, a dressing room, an open storage system with a partition. Shelves will help to zone the space of the room without significant damage to the area.

It is better to use shelving as a partition without a back wall so that light can penetrate unhindered.

Paintings, posters, posters

We can say that this is one of the main distinguishing features of the pop art interior. Paintings, posters and posters set the character in the interior. If the wall decoration can have a monochromatic calm shade, then a variety of posters will become paints on a blank canvas.

The most common pop art images are comic pages, cartoon characters, reproductions of famous paintings of various interpretations, and other drawings in bright colors. The design can be in the form of a regular stretcher or a volumetric baguette frame.

Decor and textiles

In the interior of pop art, decorative elements become a real piece of art. Figurines, hangers, wall decorations can have a completely unexpected format, for example, a floor hanger in the shape of a horse.

Lighting

Pop art lighting fixtures, like all other interior items, can have the most daring embodiment. When choosing a chandelier, the main emphasis is on color, red, green, yellow and bright blue will be quite appropriate.

Lamps and floor lamps can be of unusual format, for example, in the form of an animal's head, a multi-colored frame or chrome balls.
