Futuristic style in the interior (from the English future - “future”) is a design direction characterized by a combination of creative ideas, innovative materials and technologies in the design of premises. The futuristic style in the interior visually resembles the furnishings of a comfortable house of an unimaginable shape from the distant future or the cabin of a spaceship navigating the expanses of the Universe.
Futuristic style is ideal for progressive-minded and out-of-the-box thinkers. Among its adherents you can find representatives of different age categories: from active urban youth to wealthy pensioners who value comfort and originality.
Futurism in the interior
Interior design in the futurism style reveals the owner of the house as a progressive and out-of-the-box thinker. The term “futurism” itself has Latin roots and means “future”.
Futurism in the interior
Futurism originated at the beginning of the 20th century; at first this direction applied only to literature, but later it became in demand in interior design. The main idea of the style is to renounce traditional and classic methods of home decoration in favor of new, creative ideas.
We decorate the interior in a futuristic style
Futuristic interior design welcomes the use of the latest materials and technologies. Ergonomics, functionality and maximum free space are important for style.
Interior design in this style involves asymmetry and multi-level ceilings of complex configuration. Windows, niches, doors, openings and even furniture are distinguished by unusual geometric shapes, and corners and walls receive smooth, rounded outlines.
The main changes that concern forms are laid down in advance, even at the stage of redevelopment.
Modern Kitchen Design Ideas
Built-in furniture from floor to ceiling
The most effective way to use the entire volume of the kitchen space is to use tall columns with built-in furniture and appliances. To prevent such furniture walls from appearing bulky, designers use white varnish on the facades and illuminated display cases made of tinted glass.

Minimalism with Art Deco elements
Gray and powdery shades, blank facades, functional light - the interior space of a minimalist kitchen is laconic and even ascetic, but at the same time it looks absolutely luxurious. This is the merit of Art Deco elements: an original chandelier with drop pendants, bar stools with velor upholstery in a deep bluish shade and an apron made of natural onyx.

In modern kitchen spaces, loft elements - glass and concrete - are successfully combined with the textures of natural stone. Particularly trendy are dark colors with accents of rich tones, chairs on thin legs reminiscent of the supports of lunar spacecraft, hanging loft lamps and a rail lighting system on the ceiling.
Finishes and materials
Organic glass, mirrors, plastic, metal are often used in futuristic interior decoration. When using the latest innovations in the construction market in interior decoration and styling, we should not forget about the environmental safety of the materials used.
That is why wood finishing is also relevant and is used mainly for the design of floors, which are decorated with parquet boards, parquet or laminate. The walls and ceiling are usually plastered and painted.
Ceilings
This part of the room must look unusual. Therefore, complex multi-level solutions of asymmetrical shape are welcome here. The material can be plasterboard or tension fabric - the main thing is that everything fits perfectly. However, gypsum plasterboard is slightly inferior to tension films, since they can have a glossy texture, and the surface of a structure made of plasterboard sheets will be matte.
In addition, modern materials make it possible to create stunning structures with translucent elements from tension films. With built-in hidden lighting, such details look very modern and maximally emphasize the futuristic design. The photo below shows just such a ceiling structure.
Color design
The color palette of the style is quite monochrome, based on shades of gray, beige, white and black. Bright accents will help diversify the design: red, orange, green, blue, purple - colors found in furniture upholstery, paintings and other few decorative elements.
More sparkle!
Colors in a futuristic interior style play a significant role, but not the most important one. The characteristic shine and reflection of the interior elements gives the interiors a special character.
White high-gloss furniture creates a three-dimensional impression, subtly enhancing the feeling of space, so it is usually the basis for the arrangement. Transparent furniture also works well.
Style furniture
Furniture in a futuristic style is ergonomic, practical and functional. It has streamlined shapes, practical upholstery and chrome details. Such furniture is often made to order, but if it is not possible to order the manufacture of furniture according to your own design, then you can choose suitable options among standard furniture. Attention should be paid to minimalist, transformable and modular furniture.
Only the necessary items should be placed in the room: a sofa, armchairs, tables, chairs, a bed, a closet.
Decor in a futuristic interior
The decor in such a laconic and progressive interior will be the latest multimedia devices and household appliances. Trinkets and “extra” decorations are inappropriate here, with the exception of a painting in the style of futurism, cubism or fauvism.

Lighting
When using futurism in the design of your home, you cannot ignore light - it is this that gives the interior a cosmic charm. Lamps in the futurism style in the interior meet the latest trends in design.
Suitable options:
- LED Strip Light. Illumination of the floating bed, kitchen work area and other contours adds a futuristic effect.
- Spotlights. They provide a lot of light while remaining almost invisible.
- LED flat chandelier. For futurism - in the form of a circle or a non-standard round shape.
- Ball chandelier. It imitates the sun or moon, being a clever reference to the space 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 bedrooms, living rooms.
Create lighting in such a way that all the necessary functional areas are highlighted. At the same time, it seemed that it was not a separate chandelier or sconce that was glowing, but the entire room as a whole.
