Pop art style originated in the USA and Western Europe in the middle of the last century. Its history spans almost 70 years. Initially, he developed rapidly only in painting, then gradually moved to photography, sculpture, clothing and interior design. The name is an abbreviated form of the phrase "popular art", which literally translates as "popular art". The style draws inspiration from consumer products. The direction arose as the opposite of expressionism, which was living out its last days. The well-known creators of the fading genre (Pollock, Candide) were replaced by new talents, among which Andy Warhol stood out as a bright star in the sky of art. An artist, designer and photographer - he created a separate, independent branch of the direction. It was called commercial pop art. Perhaps the most famous creation of the master was a diptych painting with the face of a Hollywood star - Marilyn Monroe. Warhol superimposed more than fifty images of the actress, made in different colors, using the technique of silk-screen printing. The broad masses liked the manner of execution of the work so much that such stylized paintings and photographs adorn the premises to this day. The main purpose of pop art is to surprise and sometimes shock the public. First, the direction leaked into the interior solutions of cafes and trendy restaurants, and only then - into living quarters. Let's find out what are the distinctive features of the style, and how to find the line between pop art and bad taste.

Style Features

Pop art refers to provocative and defiant trends. Its development became a prerequisite for the insanely bright and flashy fashion of the 70s and 80s. If you find yourself in a room decorated according to the canons of the direction, you will not confuse it with anything else. Among the main distinguishing features are:

• Using a combination of white wall decoration with "acid" colors in the interior;
• An abundance of posters and stylized photographs. They depict scenes from comics, celebrity faces in Warhol's technique and household items (consumer and food products): soda cans, bottles, chocolate bars, cars, music records. Paintings are often repeated in different colors;
• In finishing, preference is given to plastic, synthetics and artificial materials. Pop art does not accept luxury and chic;
• The ceiling and floor are decorated in neutral colors, as accents are placed in the setting;
• Much attention in pop art is paid to small decor: souvenirs, figurines, photographs;
• The main principle of choosing furniture is its practicality. Non-standard futuristic lines and shapes are welcome.

The above features have some resemblance to retro 80s. In fact, the peak of the development of style fell on this period.

Materials and finishes

The apartment is used artificial materials for walls, ceilings and floors. Emphasis will be placed on the filling of the room. For this reason, pop art is considered one of the more budget-friendly styles. At a minimum cost, homeowners can get an original and fashionable interior.

Walls

The coating must be chosen in white. This option is considered the best backdrop for bright colors in furniture and decor. Walls are decorated in several ways:

• Glue wallpaper. Choose the most simple views: paper, non-woven or more modern vinyl. Naturally, it is necessary to take into account the features of the room. In the kitchen or in the bathroom, materials are used that are resistant to high humidity and temperature extremes. Embossed texture is not welcome. The simpler, the more consistent with the style. Use of glossy surfaces is acceptable;
• Drywall. Panels made of this material are quickly mounted and easily hide a layer of insulation or flaws in the surface of the walls;
• Decorative plaster. The most practical version of it is used: white, non-embossed coating;
• PVC panels. The material is sensitive to mechanical damage, but it is easy to clean, and the damaged area can always be replaced. Pop art loves plastic, so the latter will fit organically into the interior picture;
• Dye. A somewhat outdated option that is not suitable for walls with noticeable defects. Differs in low cost.

Doesn't look like pop art at all. decorative tiles. An exception can be made only on the kitchen apron and in the bathroom.

Floor

Laminate flooring or parquet board used on rare occasions. Often preference is given to plain linoleum, which does not require special costs, but will fit into the style of the room. A more expensive option is a self-leveling floor. It is durable, no seams and glossy. The effect of the "varnished" coating is used not only in the decoration, but also on furniture surfaces. It is acceptable to use additional features of the material: drawing bright pictures or single characters in a separate area. For example, in the corner the cat Tom may look suspiciously at the guests, and Jerry will hide from him on the wall. This is just one of the design options, which is "customized" for themselves and their preferences.

Ceiling

The ceiling is primed and a layer of plaster is applied on top. The easiest and cheapest option. In more expensive interiors, plasterboard is used, but “steps” made of this material are not welcome. As an exception, a multi-level ceiling can only be used for additional zoning in combined rooms. Suspended or tension options also harmoniously merge into the stylistic picture, but there should not be any patterns and ornaments on them. It's better to leave ceiling covering white, since its main task is to set off and balance the "motley" decor of the room.

Color solutions

The "box" of the room, as a rule, is finished in light colors. This is a tribute to the first design experiments that were carried out at the dawn of the formation of the style. Now indoors allow the use of white ceiling finishes and walls with black or red flooring. The game of contrasts is one of the "pillars" of the direction. The following shades are actively used in furniture and decor:

• Screaming red;
• Intense fuchsia;
• acid green;
• Juicy yellow;
• Deep blue or sky blue.

Pop art is classified as a rebellious movement. If the directions had a “psychological age”, then this style would be portrayed as a young man at puberty on the wave of maximalism. For this reason, color combinations can be the most unexpected. In any other direction, they would be considered bad taste, and in pop art, such combinations are considered an organic expression of non-standard thinking.

Furniture

In this style, preference is given to non-standard forms and inexpensive materials. From textiles choose synthetics, artificial leather, polyester. Sofas in the shape of red lips, or soft corners"hollow" inside - an accent element of the situation. If the chairs, then only made of plastic with bright pictures on the surfaces. Sofas-benches assembled from round “pieces” of upholstered faux leather. They are interconnected by thin metal rods, which, intertwined, create a complex pattern. If you choose a chair, then give preference to the designer "throne" with carved armrests on twisted legs, but colorful upholstery with geometric patterns. Instead of a coffee table, get an original element: an imitation of the front of a car with a bumper, on which a glass top is installed. Used cabinets and chests of drawers with striped prints on the surfaces. Round pouffes look spectacular, covered with textiles of “cosmic” colors: silver, gold, bronze.

Do not forget that only the necessary minimum is used from the furniture. In this case, pop art is similar to minimalism: only practicality and simplicity. Due to the large number of accents, the room may seem "cluttered", so follow the measure.

Details and decor

In interior decor, simple things are used that acquire new life. Such elements can be purchased from venerable designers or made no worse with your own hands. Vases are made from used cans or empty bottles. The surface of the container does not need to be cleaned of labels, on the contrary, their presence will correspond to the style. Even without the talent of an artist or designer, you can create a unique poster. Take old newspapers, cut out headlines or whole articles from them and paste these pieces on a piece of cardboard in a chaotic manner. Then the canvas is decorated with a frame and hung on the wall. Paste tall mirror in the hallway with comic book clippings and wrap with a garland of light bulbs-balls. If you still have old records for the gramophone, then you can do with them in several ways:

• Warm them up in the oven. Put on gloves to protect your hands, and fold the pliable edges to one side, creating a wavy edging. The finished item can be used as flower pot or souvenir stands. Additionally, it is painted with acrylic or tempera;
• Pass the twine through the holes in the membranes, tie it in a knot over the edge of each plate so that they are held vertically. Make several of these "garlands" that will decorate part of the wall.

To sew soft cushions for sofas and beds, you only need foam padding and synthetic fabrics bright colors. In addition to traditional square shapes, sew round, triangular and curly (hearts or bitten apples) decorative elements. Upholstery on hard chairs can be replaced with balls of multi-colored thread fastened together. To match, the armrests of the sofa and coffee tables are decorated with the same coating. A large number of slider stickers are applied to any surface.

In pop art, trivial, everyday things can become stylish element design. Don't be afraid to experiment. Wall paintings will "survive" any incarnation. It can be favorite cartoon characters, themed photos of the owners of the apartment, or dialogue from comics in the typical round frames that they are depicted in graphic novels.

Lighting

Lighting is created at three levels according to a standard pattern:

• Ceiling;
• Optional;
• Directed (local).

Forget the typical chandeliers. The ceiling is decorated with original shades:

• Chandeliers with a bright matte finish, imitating antique candlesticks with light bulbs;
• Round shades, collected in one grape "bunch";
• Imitation of balloons filled with helium that flew up to the ceiling. In addition to them, "threads" are attached from below;
• Flat round chandeliers, as if assembled from several “layers” of circles of different sizes, one of which exudes light;
• Complex compositions of plafonds, which are interconnected by rods in the manner of molecules.

These are just a few of the hundreds of possibilities. To purchase an original ceiling, it is better to turn to designer collections. Additional lighting is provided by wall sconces and table lamps, which are not inferior in originality to ceiling chandeliers. Point light sources are replaced with garlands of white light bulbs; you should not hide the wires, as they will add a special touch to the interior.

Room decoration in the style of pop art

In the pop art style, the rooms should look non-standard, primitive and flashy-bright. The style brought with it the theme of “challenge” to society from art. The philosophy of freedom must be played differently in every room. As a rule, the design of the premises is not repeated, but only has similar features. For inspiration, check out the pages of your favorite graphic novels or pop art fashion galleries.

Kitchen

For the kitchen, choose a bright set with the effect of lacquered coating. One of the walls can be decorated with photo wallpapers with graphic pattern or an image of a stylish accent (red lips, eyes with blue shadows on the eyelids, cans of Coca-Cola, bars or packages of famous candies) on a white background with the same bright circles. Around a glossy bar or dining table put plastic chairs of unusual shapes. Particular attention is paid to the apron; a drawing or a picture from comics is also applied to it. Flat chandeliers are mounted on the ceiling, which are combined with geometric plafonds hanging on long, thin "legs". Groups of the latest appliances are placed directly above the accent area - the dining table.

Pop art in the interior of the apartment will be an unusual and stylish solution. Bright colors and playful images will fill the house with positivity, while an unusual combination of styles and textures will give shine like in glossy publications.

Another design option would be calm color finishes and bright plumbing, such as a yellow sink paired 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 provocative bright color or finished with 3D wallpaper will look more than appropriate in a duet with mirror and reflective surfaces.

The walls will be decorated with motivational posters and reproductions of famous paintings. Of the furniture, a creative table and chair, a rack along the wall and a pair of multi-colored ottomans are suitable.

Finishing Features

Walls

Each of the walls can be a separate art object. Most often, the basis is taken white or light color overlaid with many details, such as posters, art prints, designer objects, or comic book images.

Another way to decorate walls is wallpaper, interesting option there will be wallpaper with a common pattern, but 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 repairing and choosing flooring, you need 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 it will be appropriate bright colors and unusual texture, such as multi-colored carpet. In other cases, you should choose 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 one will look equally good glossy ceiling and multi-level designs in which you can combine different colors and textures. IN compact room it is more appropriate to use a single-level ceiling with a reflective surface. It will fully comply with the stylistic direction and visually make the room taller.

Furniture selection

When choosing furniture in the style of pop art, you should follow 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 most commonly used material is non-natural, 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 form 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. Pieces of furniture may have common motifs, such as a common theme, decor item or one of the shades, otherwise they are two separate items. An armchair as a separate piece of furniture, for example, in the bedroom at the dressing table, can become the main object, due to the unusual shape and upholstery.

Cabinet

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

Table and chairs

No need to pick the perfect matching dining group. Chairs with the same frame, but different color will harmoniously look 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 bedding, 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. Shelving 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.

Pictures, 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 book pages, cartoon characters, reproductions of famous paintings in various interpretations and other drawings in bright colors. The design can be in the form of a conventional stretcher or a voluminous baguette frame.

Decor and textiles

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

The textile part of the interior will be an interesting highlight, the curtains of the brightest colors are successfully combined with classic white tulle. Clocks and mirrors can be decorated in style hand made or decorated in bright colors.

Pillows can echo the curtains or become a juicy accent in the design.

A carpet of unusual colors will look appropriate on a floor with a neutral finish, artificial skins, a carpet of several components will be the right choice.

Lighting

Pop art lighting fixtures, like all other interior items, can have the most daring incarnation. 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 have an unusual shape, for example, in the form of an animal head, a multi-colored frame or chrome balls.

Sconces and table lamps are convenient to use as additional lighting. The choice of colors and shapes will also embody the ideas of the designer.

Pop art style in the interior, these are the characters of the 50s, bright colors and unusual application familiar items. Almost any object can be inscribed in the pop art style, whether it is an old kitchen hood or a bicycle wheel.

History of pop art style

Pop art appeared in the 50s and 60s. XX century in the USA and Europe - initially it was a direction of art opposite to abstract expressionism. Literally, pop art translates as natural art, which is as utilitarian and understandable as possible, unlike expressionism and abstractionism, which were. For the pop art style in the interior, there was no concept of " good design". Interiors and art objects become bright, expressive and funny.

The very name of the style - "pop art" - was first mentioned in an article by a British critic who talked about the features of modern pop culture. Interestingly, in the context of the article, this term was not a designation of a particular style, it was only an author's turnover describing the use of household items as interior elements. In just two years (approximately in the period 1955-57), the concept of "pop art" successfully "took root" in art and took on the meaning in which we are talking about it now.

In 1956, the English artist Richard Hamilton presented his famous collage. Against the backdrop of clippings from neon advertising, a textured tennis player with a lollipop instead of a tennis racket is located. Nearby is a naked lady with a lampshade on her head. Pop artists worked with easily recognizable images. The main characters of their paintings were: celebrities, picnic tables, pants, refrigerators, bathroom curtains, giant plaster products. They used all those modern things that formed the consciousness of the "consumer society" and were so stubbornly ignored by abstract art.

“Like a horror movie – artists from all over the city rose from the mud and, with paintings in their hands, staggered towards each other”
Henry Geldzahler, curator of contemporary art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Famous representatives of pop art style

• Andy Warhole
• Robert Rauschenberg
• Roy Lichtenstein

Characteristic features of pop art style

• Contrasting colors - several dozen colors can be combined in one room, and 5-7 of them can be dominant. No other style makes it possible to combine a riot of colors so harmoniously.
• White walls (most often) are an excellent canvas for filling the interior with posters, signs, paintings, unusual objects, etc.
• The presence of large illustrations, repetitive symbols - these can be comic book characters, animals, Marilyn Monroe and even a can of condensed milk. Images can be applied directly to the walls, or act as accents on posters, furniture, etc.
• To create an atmosphere, furniture of an extremely laconic design is used - it is distinguished by simplicity of forms, monochrome and "modesty". In pop art interiors, furniture does not take on the main load, as it happens in most other styles.

The pop art style in the interior is distinguished by irony and special grace - despite the outward simplicity, to work with pop art you need a good color sense, knowledge of the laws of composition and a sense of proportion.

Who will fit pop art in the interior?

Young, active people Those who want to equip their living space uniquely and at minimal cost often turn to pop art. An important role is played by the cost-effectiveness of the approach - to create an original interior, you just need to tidy up the main surfaces (walls, ceiling, floor) and add the appropriate accessories.

Now the pop art style is often used in the design of youth cafes and hostels - with a competent approach, almost any room can be turned into a real example of pop art. Align and whitewash the walls, order posters or graffiti, it is interesting to arrange furniture - all this can be done at minimal cost, fortunately, there are now enough beginner designers in any city.

pop art color palette

It is most convenient to work with a light background - let the walls, ceiling and floor be light, without a pattern.

There are options with wall decoration in different local colors - red, green, yellow, blue, etc. - but such solutions are not universal, they are more difficult to fit into the interior. Although, if you have a common vision of the premises / establishments for several years ahead - go for it. Many people are tired of white walls, and perhaps your design will become the main feature.

However, do not forget that the hallmark of pop art style is contrasts! In color design, these are combinations of rather aggressive colors: red, fuchsia, yellow, light green. The bright monochrome coloring of the walls favorably sets off even the simplest and most concise furniture.

With the help of color, you can shift the focus on furniture - put bright furniture against the background of light walls and ceilings

Pop art furniture

Pop art furniture is characterized by simplicity of design - clear lines, a minimum of decor, affordable materials. It can be plastic, light shelving made of chipboard, fashionable pear chairs - such an environment is very functional and practical, it does not require special care and very unpretentious in everyday life.

Pop art furniture can be almost anything - from classic to ultra-modern or aged. Since pop art is an eclectic style, almost any combination and combination is appropriate in it. If we add a little specificity, then the most characteristic of the pop art style will be:

• square table on thickened rectangular legs
• chairs of the most unexpected shapes with bright, maybe even acid coloring
• simple square sofas with bright fabric upholstery or a classic sofa with carved legs, but made in pop art colors. For example, with fabric upholstery in the form of bright stripes of fuchsia, yellow and light green colors.
• simple cabinet furniture can be gilded or painted in bright colors

pop art decor

The main aesthetic and semantic load in the style of pop art is precisely the decor. And the biggest difficulty lies in not turning the living space into a warehouse of incomprehensible and eye-catching things. That is why pop art decor needs special attention.
The main space for decorating is the walls, and here the flight of creative imagination is practically not limited to anything. by the most suitable option there will be wall painting, but there is also a more economical option. You can process a photo of the owner of the premises in the style of Andy Warhol posters. Order digital printing in the digital printing salon or via the Internet. In this case, the uniqueness of the image will be 100%, and the cost is quite acceptable. And how delighted the customer will be when he sees a portrait of his beloved on the wall!

In addition, let's not forget that stylized images of recognizable objects are its distinctive and recognizable feature.

pop art lighting

Pop art in the interior differs from other styles in that it is absolutely universal - such an interior looks equally impressive both in daylight and in the evening, when you need to create a special atmosphere. To enhance the effect, you can supplement the overhead light with spotlights that will highlight certain areas.

Pop art ceilings

Most often in the style of pop art, ceilings serve as part of the background, so their design can be quite calm. In this style, like in no other, glossy stretch ceiling, which are now considered not very fashionable - a shiny surface makes the interior more expressive and "convex".

But this is not at all necessary, you can focus on the ceiling! In some pop art interiors, you can find active graphics, volumetric elements and relief on the ceiling.

Pop art walls

The walls act as the main working surface, which bears most of the semantic load of the interior - posters and paintings are placed on them, graffiti is painted, etc. Despite a certain “glamour”, the pop art style in the interior can be mixed even with brick wall bright images or style-forming elements of pop art can be located, and it will look quite harmonious.

We have already talked about posters on the walls, and now we will discuss another interesting technique for decorating walls, this is the use of all kinds of textures - from abstract to imitating aged gold or reptile skins. All this can be found in the interior catalogs. In addition to visual diversity, as a rule, it is possible to choose the material from which the texture will be made. Usually it is plastic or ceramic. Such decorative blocks can decorate both the entire wall and part of the wall.

Pop art in the interior. floors

Light floors in neutral colors match the style best. If you want to focus on the floor, this can be done with an interesting small carpet (or several). The main style rule is that the floor should be smooth and fairly simple (no carpet or laminate / linoleum with intricate patterns).

love unexpected decisions in the interior and bright colors? Then pop art is your choice. In brilliance, none of the other interior styles can compete with it.

Por-art is translated as popular art: in the 1950s and 1960s, this trend developed precisely in art and then quickly spread to interior design. There are American, Italian and English pop art, and the brightest representatives of the direction are Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Richard Hamilton. When creating an interior, a designer can be inspired both by the art of a particular author, and general principles style. In such an interior there will be not only a lot of colors, but also images of modern mass art and advertising that are recognizable at first sight.

To implement pop art, you need a lot of space. Saturated colors and an abundance of patterns visually reduce the interior. Using ornaments to create the illusion of expanding space is an art. If the apartment is small, you can mix scandinavian style with pop art, then the white calm base will work for the size of the room, and the decor will create a mood.

Pop art style in the interior: colors

A riot of colors, bright (including acid and neon) colors, contrasting combinations - distinguishing feature pop art. Pastels have no place here.In order to live in such an interior without going crazy, white, black or black and white are often taken as the basis in equal proportions. If the interior is being designed non-residential premises, or the owners of the apartment are too tired of the gray city outside the window, several colors can serve as the basis at once, present in the same amount.

The only allowance for halftones in pop art is the overlay of one translucent color on top of another in order to create such a filter, as in pop art photographs.

materials

Walls play a big role in pop art interiors. They do not want to take on a background role, but declare themselves as real works of art with the help of murals or photo wallpapers. The most popular themes are graffiti, animated characters, comics, Andy Warhol styling. Pop art has its own special style in which you can perform any image, even your own photo.

On the walls there may be ordinary wallpaper, but certainly with an interesting pattern. For example, repeating geometric patterns that create a visual illusion will come in handy. In order not to overload the space, decorate only one, accent wall. Read more about this technique in our article: "". In pop art, which consists entirely of accents, this technique can be transformed: one wall is decorated with a small pattern or painting, the opposite is painted white, and the neighboring ones are painted in contrasting colors.

For the pop art style, which is often decorated with backlighting, best solution there will be a multi-level ceiling. If lighting is not planned, you can make a suspended glossy ceiling, this will visually raise it and comply with the principles of style. If desired, you can decorate the ceiling with mirrors or paintings.

For flooring, there are 2 main options. If the walls are decorated very diversely and richly, it is better to put light and glossy material on the floor - tiles, parquet, vinyl, linoleum. Solid color carpet is also suitable. If you want the floor to draw attention to itself, then surfaces with ornaments or an unusual layout are your option.
