Common directions in design

The appearance of the apartment is built in accordance with the chosen style. Today there is big variety solutions. Some strictly adhere to the chosen concept, others have very fuzzy boundaries. Mixing images is becoming a fashionable phenomenon. All this is reflected in the selection of the situation.

Ethnic. Northern patterns, African frescoes, Egyptian hieroglyphs - are gaining popularity among young designers. Distinctive feature– various shapes and exotic designs.

On the websites of manufacturers there are a great many photos of cabinets for the living room. These resources will help you easily decide on the choice of style.

Installation Methods

The whole set should not only be harmoniously combined with each other, but also meet the requirements of practicality, convenience and functionality. Often, when designing, the owner cannot decide where to put the wardrobe. As a result, he gives up this idea and buys duffel cabinets or chests of drawers. The decision is highly controversial.

It is also very important when choosing a wardrobe to take into account its future location and installation methods:

Angular. By using the corners, the owner gets a much more practical use of space, as well as stylistic content of the interior;

Suspension. The use of hanging cabinets is becoming very popular. The latter are installed on internal mounts built into the wall. This solution allows you to save usable space, and also gives a peculiar look to the whole idea;

Modular. This type of furniture consists of a set of bedside tables, shelves, racks, small compartments, made in the same direction. The advantage is the ability to adapt to any, even non-standard layout and change the appearance by rearranging the modules.

Types of door operation

The main component of the appearance of the wall are its doors. Storage furniture is divided according to the type of door into four groups:

Sliding (coupe). This category is characterized by the presence of sliding parts in the structure. The pros are convenience and space saving. The disadvantages include the presence of "dead" zones. Doors are mounted on rails that are built into the structure.

Swing. Wardrobes with such doors will look great in classic interior. Such furniture is recommended to be installed in spacious rooms. Plus of this type: the possibility of installing locks in the alignments. The disadvantages include a problem during assembly and installation if the wall or floor is uneven, as well as the impracticality of use in tight spaces, such as narrow corridors.

Sliding (accordion). Less popular category compared to the previous ones. Accordions can be used as an alternative to sliding doors, as they have several advantages in terms of compactness, and also lack "dead" zones. The disadvantages include their low reliability - a large number of moving joints, the material of manufacture is most often ordinary plastic.

Blinds (roller shutters). Extremely unpopular type of furniture doors. Low functionality, inconvenience of use and unaesthetic appearance are the main reasons for their rare use. The only place where a closet with shutter doors would be appropriate is a loggia.

Facade design options

Furniture facade design is considered very important element. The external image of the facade should complement general style rooms, or to bring a "flavor" to the design. In this case, the material of manufacture is important. The most popular include:

• Wood. natural material commonly used in classic interior design;
• Plastic. Doors for furniture made of this material are suitable for dwellings made in the genres of modern and minimalism;
• MDF panels. Sawdust and substandard wood fibers are used for manufacturing. This material cheap and versatile, but has low reliability;
• Glass. Allows you to apply various decorative patterns and patterns to the surface. Can be used in almost all interior design options.

Application in the interior

The furniture we are considering can be used to store small items, food, clothes. Household appliances, multimedia installation can be built into it. The scope of application is very wide:

Storage of things. The most common feature. In the living room, such a closet is used to store clothes and linen.

Cupboard for dishes. The shutters are made of glass. On the shelves of such a sideboard, family dishes, souvenirs and figurines are usually placed.

Book storage. Installed in spacious rooms. In cramped apartments, it is recommended to use shelves.

Shelving. Universal option. Most often made without sashes. Suitable for storing collectibles and for placing a multimedia installation.

Wall. For the living room, the wall cabinet serves universal option, combining the advantages of other types.

We learned from a professional designer how to properly organize the interior space of a home. Here are some expert tips:

Use of space. Swing doors can take up space when opened, use a wardrobe with such doors in spacious rooms. Rational option storage of clothes in the hallway will be a closet. The functionality of the latter allows you to use the corridor area to the maximum.

Very often, when designing an interior, corners are bypassed. An excellent solution would be to use a corner cabinet small size. This method will help to use unoccupied areas of space and increase the usable potential of the storage system.

Expand visually the volume of the room. Use furniture with mirrored facades. Install such a cabinet opposite the window so that the light falls on the mirrors. This will make the room appear brighter and wider.

Don't be afraid to be imaginative. Furniture manufacturing companies are ready to fulfill any wishes of customers. Think creatively, mix styles, materials of manufacture. The main thing here is not to overdo it, you should not "load" the interior.

Skip the extra details. In small rooms, it is better to abandon dark colors, artistic delights and bright prints. Choose materials of light shades, so the interior will look lighter. If you choose a coating of gloss or matte layer, then this will visually increase the interior space.

In a modern apartment, a closet is an integral piece of furniture. When choosing, pay attention not only to external characteristics, but also to the correspondence between the dimensions of your room and the dimensions of the furniture you choose. Take the time to study the market of manufacturing companies. You can always find the right option for you, both in terms of price and quality. If in doubt about own choice- see a specialist. The design services market today is represented by many agencies.

Installing a sliding wardrobe in the living room is possible in an apartment of any size and layout, as there are different kinds this furniture. Before you make your choice regarding a sliding wardrobe, you need to familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of this piece of furniture compared to conventional, hinged ones.

The balance of pros and cons of this storage system suggests that this is an excellent choice for creating a stylish and functional interior. Confirmation of this is a photo of sliding wardrobes in the living room.

Kinds

In terms of size, content, design of facades, there are a great many options, but in terms of design, there are two types of products - built-in and cabinet.

Embedded

Built-in wardrobes are storage systems in which the side, bottom and top parts replace the walls, ceiling and floor of the room. talking in simple words, such sliding wardrobes are "embedded" in a wall or a niche. Everything you need can be placed in the built-in closet in the living room. Shelves and rails inside the storage system are attached directly to the walls, sliding doors are attached with roller guides to the ceiling and floor. This is not a stationary cabinet that can be moved or moved, so you need to choose it with particular care.

This type of coupe has its advantages:

• takes up less space in the room than the case due to the lack of walls;
• has a large internal volume;
• due to its appearance, it becomes an integral part of the interior, organically fitting into it;
• a large built-in closet can easily replace the dressing room.

However, there are some disadvantages of the built-in closet in the living room:

• lack of mobility: during the move, it will be necessary to dismantle the storage system. If it is simply planned to move it to another location, repairs will need to be made at the old location of the cabinet;
• the slightest unevenness of the surface of the floor, ceiling or walls will lead to poor performance of the sliding door system;
• higher cost compared to cabinet furniture.

An advantage and a disadvantage at the same time, one can call such a feature of an embedded storage system as individual design. On the one hand, a cabinet made according to an individual project can be built into a room of any size and configuration, hiding any flaws in the room. On the other hand, this closet may not fit into another room because it is made to specific dimensions.

Cased

Sliding wardrobes do not differ from standard ones in terms of frame type, except for the presence of sliding doors. Cabinet, as well as embedded storage systems, can be made to certain sizes, but, unlike them, the first type is mobile, and it can be placed in any room other than the living room, which is similar in size. The photo gallery below shows how stylish cabinet cabinets fit seamlessly into the interior of the living room.

The advantage of cabinet furniture over built-in furniture is lower cost, a wide range of ready-made models, and fast production time. It can be used as a ready-made partition for zoning, for example, in a studio living room. The device of internal filling elements is made easier, therefore it looks more aesthetically pleasing than inside the built-in storage system. But the built-in wardrobe takes up more space, so it is not suitable for a miniature room.

Manufacturing materials

Sliding wardrobe in the interior of the living room can be made of various materials: chipboard, MDF, fiberboard. Fibreboard (MDF) is used for the manufacture of cabinets in the low and medium price segment, since it has the disadvantage of hydrophilicity, that is, high moisture absorption. Chipboard contains special resins that give greater surface strength and protect it from moisture. But the highest quality material is MDF and veneer coated wood. The latter option fits well into the interior in classical style.

For the manufacture of cabinet doors, materials such as:

• glass, usually frosted or colored. Popular ideas include sandblasting patterns on glass, as well as photo printing. Expensive but very beautiful doors made of stained glass;
• mirror - a mirror cabinet is often used in small living rooms, as it visually enlarges the space;
• natural materials: bamboo, rattan, leather;
• MDF and other types of wood.

A combination of materials is often used: MDF with glass or mirror, rattan, leather.

Accommodation

Based on the functionality and size of the room, you can decide on the placement of the storage system. The ill-conceived location of the wardrobe can make the living room small, uncomfortable, and the competent placement of this furniture will not only save space, but also make the room stylish and functional.

We form the interior correctly, following the tips for placing the compartment:

• you can adjust the shape of a narrow living room with a closet, if you place it near the end wall opposite the window. This will help make the room visually wider;
• if the doorway of the room is located at a distance of 0.7-0.8 meters from the wall, you can build a closet along the entire length of the wall, for example, a compartment of 4 m. You can make a closet with a TV or a bed hidden inside the storage system. A similar implementation of this idea as sliding wardrobes in the living room photo is shown below;
• if the room irregular shape, with the presence of protrusions, niches, you should use them to accommodate the built-in wardrobe.

The wall with the wardrobe is located so that the compartment is closer to the corner. The photo below shows options for ideas for placing wardrobes in living rooms different size and forms.

Facade decoration

The design of the facades should correspond to the style of the room. In this regard, there are several recommendations:

• living rooms with a wardrobe, decorated in a classic style, require furniture made from natural materials that looks solid and respectable. The best decoration the facade in the classical style will be carved patterns, mirror inserts, edging with gilding. If the classic living room is small, it is recommended to use a cabinet made of bleached wood with a mirrored door decorated with an ornate pattern; for a spacious living room, you can use a storage system made of mahogany or dark wood;
• for the living room in modern style the facades of the storage system are designed strictly, but stylishly: usually it is a glossy plain surface of black, red, white, gray, Brown color and its shades. Material used - glass, plastic, lakomat;
• Below is a photo of the design of the cabinet, made in the style of minimalism. It is characterized by the presence of a single matte surface made of wood, high-quality chipboard, possibly with a combination with lakomat or lakobel;
• high-tech style in the design of facades is expressed in the use of frosted glass, which is combined with inserts of genuine leather, in shiny or brushed metal.

You can decorate the facade even in the Provence style, however, nevertheless it will no longer be true Provence, but its modern manifestation.

Before choosing a sliding wardrobe in the living room, you should decide on the type of construction - will it be built-in or stationary. In addition, you should choose the location of the furniture in accordance with the shape of the living room and its size. Further, starting from the style of the interior, it is worth choosing the design of the facades and the material from which they will be made. In doing so, you can use design decision in the manufacture of a cabinet to order, or choose a ready-made model, while saving finances.

Pay attention to the internal content: based on the functions of the storage system, it can consist of hangers, pull-out trousers, shoe baskets, or ordinary shelves. At the same time, the filling volume should correspond to the number of things that are planned to be stored inside the cabinet.

When choosing compartment-type furniture, you should pay attention to the quality and type sliding mechanism. A monorail mechanism is considered more reliable, while a conventional roller mechanism is cheaper. The material from which the rollers are made must be durable - it is better if they are metal, since plastic ones will not last even a year. Now you know how to choose sliding wardrobes in the living room.

We offer you to find out how to choose the right wardrobe in the hall, what types there are this product how best to place it in the interior.

The choice of a closet for a hall in an apartment depends on the goals pursued by its future owners. Its purpose for living rooms can be different, respectively, there are certain features that you should know about before choosing this type of furniture:

• storing clothes is the most common purpose of a closet, no matter in which room of an apartment or house it is located. For this, the design of an open or closed type with any facade;
• storage of household items. This applies to many household items, for example, by equipping the inner space of the wardrobe, you can not only store clothes there, but also put ironing board or hide the vacuum cleaner;

Kinds

Cabinets can be divided into several types, according to their design features. We present the main three types of the most common designs:

• built-in structures are a common type of storage for rooms where there is a niche suitable for installation. The advantage is low cost relative to its non-built-in counterparts. Savings on materials when mounting a built-in wardrobe are obvious, because you do not have to install the back and side walls, you only need a facade. The disadvantage of this design is that when installing the internal body kit, the walls of the room deteriorate;
• modular cabinets - furniture consisting of parts, the so-called modules. This means that such cabinets are not a solid unit, but a multifunctional structure formed from parts. The main advantage of the product is the ability to create a kit to your liking, for example, if we are talking about clothing storage, then you can add a vertical shelf with drawers for storing small accessories or items of frequent use, for example, small household appliances. Modular cabinets are a design that everyone used to call furniture wall, only today this bulky detail, which previously attracted all the attention of visitors to the room, has become stylish element, the most ergonomic and compact, complementing the design of the hall. Modules of dark tones will look great, for example, the color of dark oak;
• case cabinets are the most popular type of products in this segment of the furniture industry. This is the final finished product assembled from fiberboard sheets, chipboard or wood in a one-piece construction, which is not intended for refinement or modification. Before buying, you should clearly understand exactly where the product will stand, since the possibility of its further successful movement is extremely small.

Accommodation options

The arrangement of the room largely depends on correct selection and furniture arrangement. The so-called wall is one of the largest furniture products purchased by the owners of the dwelling, so the question of the successful location of the "giant" inside the interior becomes acute. Here are a few tips to help this case:

• Of course, if you have a niche, you should give preference to a built-in wardrobe that uses the available space as useful as possible. The location inside the niche is beneficial in that after the repair of the room this place will not require special attention to itself, as it will be hidden behind the facade doors. The unevenness of the walls or the difference between the cladding material and the main type of the room do not matter. It is better to spend money on a more presentable wooden facade made of quality wood, for this, for example, oak is perfect;
• any wall is suitable for the role of a place for a cabinet. You should not get carried away with large and long cabinets, installing them in the hall on the entire wall - this will visually steal space and make the room elongated and uncomfortable. Modular cabinets with low modules in the form of small tables or shelves, complete with a low wardrobe, fit perfectly against the walls. The surface of the lower tier in the form of cabinets or racks is used as a stand for audio and video equipment. When placing a closet with hinged doors in the hall, consider the radius of their opening in order to avoid interfering with or damaging other furniture;
• a large area of ​​​​the hall in the apartment can be divided into parts by a closet, creating a zoning of the territory. Compartment structures are suitable for this, also a modular cabinet with shelving will not create the illusion of piling up. The living room acting as a bedroom will become more comfortable after zoning, and a convertible wardrobe with a folding bed makes the most efficient use of free space.

The appearance of furniture, its aesthetic and practical components play an important role in the interior of the hall in the apartment, creating the necessary atmosphere and mood of residents or guests of the house. The facade of the cabinet, or its “face”, should fit into the design of the hall and be comfortable, this can be achieved by adhering to some recommendations:

• the sliding wardrobe front is the most common type of this furniture product on the market. There are many options for decorating such a facade and materials for its manufacture. The main materials are decorative glass, plastic, mirror, lakomat, chipboard, MDF, bamboo, artificial leather, as well as photo wallpaper. The price increases depending on the material used. finished product, sometimes reaching enough high level. MDF boards are often decorated to look like oak, cedar, yew, or other tree species. IN modern interiors often there are facades made of white plastic panels;
• swing doors are more familiar, but less common, so there are no problems with the choice of fastening mechanisms. The main attention when buying is on hinges and material. Usually the hinged facade is made of wood (spruce, oak, ash) or MDF boards, rarely glass. Wooden doors the most refined, but are relatively expensive, especially from species such as oak. The walls with them are made paneled or with decoupage;
• the racks located in the hall fit perfectly, because they are modern versions of the previously popular “wall”. The design is well suited for a small area room, without creating visual obstacles in it. The rack serves as a storage place for decorative items (figurines, watches, photographs), electronic equipment, and in the case of a partially closed facade, textiles fit perfectly there.
