Description of postmodern style:

The main feature of postmodernism in the interior is the rejection of stereotypes and routine, a harmonious combination of all elements of the interior. In the absence of any visible logic, the postmodern style is quite realistic. In the interior of postmodernism, clear ornaments, the use of bright colors, the introduction of the symbolism of forms, a contrasting combination of textures and textures are noticeable. The style is characterized by spacious halls with light and original designs.

Postmodern style interiors are more common in restaurants, clubs, beauty salons, as well as bohemian apartments, characterized by asymmetric and free planning, as well as a non-standard approach to design.

Walls in postmodern style: The absence of a rigid style that dictates a certain finishing material. More often they are made plain and neutral to accentuate bright decor items. On the walls of postmodernism, niches, geometric inserts made of metal, glass and even plastic with the use of lighting are appropriate. One of the walls can be decorated with airbrushing.

Ceiling in the postmodern style: Monophonic, often multi-level and asymmetrical. Multicolor and the use of bright colors depends on the desired desired effect, the main thing here is not to oversaturate.

Postmodern style floor: Depends only on the required quality for the flooring and the functional purpose of the room (bathroom, living room, kitchen, etc.), otherwise without restrictions. Ornament or texture (for example, parquet) is strict and clear. If you choose a carpet, then bright, plain with a geometric shape or asymmetrical. The same applies to carpet, but more often a plain neutral color is chosen.

Postmodern furniture: Free, dynamic lines, symmetrical and asymmetrical forms, and transformations predominate in postmodern style. The style of postmodernism is characterized by heterogeneity, in one interior there can be furniture of a strict form, together with a smooth and streamlined one. Artificial leather, nickel-plated and chrome-plated materials have found wide application in postmodernism. Futuristic furniture is appropriate. There should be no overload, try to minimize the amount of furniture.

Postmodern Decor: Inspired by contemporary art. Fancy figurines made of various materials (metal, plastic, ceramics). Plants in geometric pots with bright ornaments, branched dried flowers. Colored glass (vases, dishes, glass beads in a vessel). There are colorful pillows on the sofa and armchairs. There should not be many items, they are all appropriate and integrally arranged.

 

 

Pro Tips:

1. The postmodern style in the interior has many faces and is divided into continents, countries, historical eras, ethnic features, being a game and a caricature of previous styles. Such diversity is good for the manifestation of your creative imagination and individuality. The style is very energetic and ultra-modern. Before choosing this style, you must clearly feel yourself in it.

2. In the style of postmodernism, there are no preferences for colors, but bright, energetic colors are a priority, also silver, metallic, mother-of-pearl and fluorescent. Making the whole interior bright and caustic is absurd and hard to perceive. Therefore, limit yourself to individual elements expressed in one bright color or several, randomly located in the interior, against a background of moderate neutral colors. Such a bright color can stand out both on the finish and furniture and decor items.

3. Choose bright colors, as well as the main tone, with special attention. Postmodern style colors should not bore you and be too “flashy” at the same time. Do not forget about the functional purpose of the room and the appropriate atmosphere.

4. In the interior of postmodernity, the main thing is fantasy and creative thinking, absolutely any object can be used for a completely new purpose for itself, feel free to break traditional proportions and patterns in order to achieve the unusualness of postmodernism.

5. Art objects in the interior of postmodernism should also be very bold and even bizarre. If the paintings are bright and saturated in the spirit of abstractionism, cubism, post-impressionism or even Dadaism. Prints fit perfectly (posters or posters).

6. In the style of postmodernism, lighting is important. It is also rich and varied, like the whole and the whole interior. At the same time, a large chandelier of an unusual shape (for example, in the form of a chrome-plated branched ball) is combined with numerous halogen lamps. Neon lamps are used to add bright colors to the lighting.

History of postmodern style:

POSTMODERNISM  (French postmodernisme - after modernism) is a term denoting structurally similar phenomena in the world public life and culture of the second half of the 20th century. Postmodernism is the collective name for artistic trends that emerged in the 1960s and are characterized by a revision of the position of modernism and the avant-garde.

In the second half of the twentieth century, the spirit of modernism and international style has exhausted itself. The urban environment has become uncomfortable due to cheap construction of houses designed in the spirit of rational functionalism, creating a feeling of despondency, monotony and monotony.

The architects of postmodernism tried to return the lost figurativeness and introduce fiction, fantasy, theatrical game beginning, complex figurative associations into architecture.

The concept of postmodernism reflects the living process of the development of art and is not yet considered well-established. On the one hand, this is the further development of modernism, and on the other hand, criticality and even its exclusivity in its manifestations. Although at the same time, art is considered to be quite established. Distinctive features of postmodernism are: the use of ready-made forms, marginality, irony, synthetic and fusion of the old in a new context.

Pop art, op art, kinetic art, conceptual art, minimalism, happening are traditionally recognized as postmodernist trends.

In the 1980s postmodernism was formed as a special ideological, theoretical trend. He quickly penetrated into all spheres of social and humanitarian knowledge, including sociology, began to influence various spheres of public life - politics, culture, international relations.

The leading theorists of postmodernism - J. Derrida, J.-F. Lyotard, M. Foucault, J. Baudrillard and others have gained wide popularity. overcame the boundaries of Western society and began to spread not only in depth, but also in breadth, giving rise to various non-Western forms.

Russian postmodernism, which has developed in the conditions of "unofficial art", gives rise to trends parallel to Western ones; its original stylistic offshoot was Sots Art, which became truly massive during the perestroika period.
