Every specialist working in the field of interior design will say that a strong space constraint prevents you from implementing a creative plan. Many are faced with the problem of selecting colors, furniture, as well as the design of walls, floor and floor. If you intend to create a beautiful bedroom in the style of "high-tech" in a small space, you must arrange the room so that it was comfortable.

Now it's time to arrange the windows in the bedroom.Curtains and lush curtains decorated with bows, decorative knots, tassels, beads and other elements are absolutely not suitable.

For high-tech, blinds are most often chosen, but this is more an option for the office than for an apartment or house. In the case of decorating a stylish bedroom, you can use roman blinds. Also ideal is weightless tulle, which will block the path of the sun's rays and will not catch the eye. For compact rooms will fit the usual curtains without a pattern that covers half of the window.

When buying furniture, it is necessary to take into account that “hi-tech” and minimalism are very similar to restraint among themselves, therefore there should not be a lot of furniture in one room. Only the most necessary. It is recommended to give preference to multifunctional and roomy items, for example, beds equipped with drawers.

The main piece of furniture is a bed in a strict geometric form. An illuminated model (this will give an atmosphere of futurism), an adjustable backrest and spacious drawers for bed linen and home clothes will be perfect for the above stylistics.The bed should be not only stylish and suitable for a particular design, but also comfortable.

Next to the bed is a small bedside table on which you can place any decorative element or the necessary things, such as a clock or a telephone. Direct spacious wardrobe with additional compartments can also be placed in the room. Ideal - a cabinet mounted in the wall. A small coffee table perfectly complements the overall picture. Perfectly suited option with a glass lid.

Large lamps and bulky chandeliers are not suitable for the above style. It is worth noting that the lack of lighting will constantly strain your eyes, which will lead to unpleasant consequences.

For modern “hi-tech”, spotlights, built into pieces of furniture, floor or ceiling, are perfect. A flat chandelier placed as standard in the middle will fit perfectly into the interior. Designers point out that halogen or string lights also harmonize perfectly with the above style.Their number depends on the size of the room, as well as the color scheme in which the room is decorated.

If you choose a darker palette, you need to take care of a sufficient amount of light, especially if the bedroom is in the north or west of the house. In addition, with the help of light, you can increase the volume of the room.

Next to the bed it is recommended to place a couple of small sconces that will mirror each other.
