Walls
Each wall can be a separate art object. Most often, white or light color is taken as the basis, on which many details are superimposed, such as posters, reproductions of paintings, design objects or comic book images.
Another way of decorating the walls is to use wallpaper; an interesting option would be a wallpaper with a common pattern, but with different colors. Finishing one of the walls in a contrasting color or with a canvas of photowallpaper will look good.
Floor
When repairing and choosing flooring, it is necessary to decide what role it plays in the design of the room. If this is the main object in the interior that focuses attention, then bright colors and unusual texture, such as a multi-colored carpet, will be appropriate. In other cases, you should choose a discreet palette and a classic way of decoration, such as plain tiles or light laminate.
Ceiling
It can be of any shape, a single-level glossy ceiling and multi-level designs in which different colors and textures can be combined 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 objects. Furniture does not have sharp corners, the shapes are smooth and rounded. The material is most often used non-natural, plastic, glass, artificial leather.
Sofa and armchair
The main piece of furniture in the living room, the shape can be approximated to the classic model, but with bright and unusual upholstery, for example from bright red velvet or leopard colors. Or have an extravagant form in the form of parts of the body, face or animals.
If the sofa and the chair are located in the same zone, then the color is chosen different. Furniture items can have common motifs, for example, a common theme, a piece of decor or one of the shades, the rest are two separate items.An armchair as a separate piece of furniture, for example, in a bedroom near a dressing table, can become the main object due to its unusual shape and upholstery.
Stand
An interesting interior solution will be your own design. Pop art style “loves” a hand-made design, a cabinet or chest of drawers will become that very object. The surface can be painted with sketches from comics or pasted over with unusual decorative details.
Table and chairs
No need to select the perfect matching dining group. Chairs with the same frame, but of different colors will harmoniously look with a glass round table.
Bed
It can have both classic and round shapes. 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 cabinets are not characteristic of 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 zoning the space of the room without significant damage to the area.
Shelving as a partition is better to use without a back wall so that light can freely penetrate.
Pictures, posters, posters
We can say that this is one of the main distinguishing features of the pop art interior. Pictures, posters and posters set the character in the interior. If the wall decoration can have a monophonic calm shade, then a variety of posters will become paints on a blank canvas.
The most common images of pop art are comic pages, cartoon characters, reproductions of famous paintings of different interpretations and other drawings in bright colors. The design can be in the form of a conventional subframe or volumetric baguette frame.
Decor and Textile
In the interior of pop art, decorative elements become a real work of art. Figurines, hangers, wall decor can have a completely unexpected format, for example a floor hanger in the shape of a horse.
The textile part of the interior will be an interesting highlight, the curtains of the brightest colors are successfully combined with the classic white tulle. Watches and mirrors can be decorated in the style of hand made or decorated in bright colors.
Pillows can overlap with curtains or become a rich accent in the design.
The carpet of unusual colors will be appropriate to look on the floor with a neutral coating, artificial skins, a carpet of several components would be the right choice.
Lighting
Lighting pop art, like all other home decoration, 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 have an unusual format, for example, in the form of the head of an animal, a multi-colored frame or chrome balls.
Sconces and table lamps are conveniently used as additional lighting. The choice of colors and shapes will also embody the ideas of the designer.
