White modular living room furniture: features and interesting options
It is hard not to notice how popular light-colored furniture (especially white) has gained in recent years. Apparently, the years of the Soviet deficit, when the choice was limited to dark and nondescript dressers made of chipboard, affected the current needs. And the furniture market, in turn, is now able to offer a wide range of options and satisfy any request.
Modular walls for living rooms are very different: with niches, drawers, a wardrobe with doors, made of all kinds of materials. To begin with, it is worth finding out what sizes and equipment you need, what materials and designs are suitable, and the next step is to start choosing colors. You don't have to worry here, because almost always now (even among standard models) manufacturers have options in white.
Peculiarities
White color has a good ability to reflect sunlight, so such furniture, first of all, allows you to create the most spacious, light interior. Such a space will be comfortable, even if its area is relatively small, because white furniture will not "crush" as it can with dark cabinets and shelves.
And psychologists say that such furniture in the living room can perfectly tune in to relaxation after a hard day at work.
Besides, the color of the snow in combination with absolutely any shades creates contrasting palettes. Couples of white with purple, orange, yellow and green are now considered especially fashionable, and for lovers of classics, black and white gamut remains always relevant. If you want to lighten the room as much as possible, you can choose wallpaper in beige or sandy tones, but you shouldn't do absolutely everything for white - there is a great risk of creating the impression of a hospital ward.
However, white furniture has universal disadvantages. Choosing a modular wall in the living room, it is worth remembering that you will receive guests in this room. This means that it should be clean and tidy. The cleanliness of white surfaces is much more difficult to maintain than any other. On the snow-white furniture, you will clearly see every speck and even specks of dust.
Surface types
What the surface of the furniture wall will be depends on the material of manufacture. It can give matte or glossy reflections, be moisture resistant, etc. Additional expressiveness can be given by volumetric elements, as well as a well-built backlighting system.
Matt
Most often, modules made of natural wood without a glossy finish have a matte surface. For example, bleached oak is usually coated with matt lacquer only so that its original texture and color are fully visible.
Glossy
Glossy furniture in the living room will definitely require a contrasting background, which, in turn, should be as neutral as possible, that is, it is gray, light brown, lilac and other similar shades that compensate for the white gloss. It is especially important that the rest of the surfaces in the room are mostly matt. Too much gloss will negate all efforts to create a comfortable, stress-free space.
Materials (edit)
In addition to solid wood, which makes furniture extremely expensive, there are a number of more affordable materials. The most popular are MDF and chipboard. They are a composite of wood shavings and synthetic materials. A modular MDF wall will come out a little more expensive, but this option is considered the best in terms of price and quality.
Do not think that such furniture will look worse than wooden furniture. Furniture fronts can be covered with bleached wood veneer or a special PVC film, the surface of which imitates wood... Here the choice is especially wide, because such a film can be matte, glossy, pure white, or tinted.
Some film manufacturers even offer options with gilding and all kinds of patterns.
Separately, it should be said about the elements of glass and metal. Now they can also be made in white, so the scope for design is very large. True, you are unlikely to find this among standard models, but manufacturing companies can make, for example, a model wall with shelves made of white frosted glass to order.
Models
The range of modular systems for the living room is quite wide. They usually cost from 8,000 rubles, but the cheapest are also the simplest systems. For example, wall "Denver" from the Stolline company has a nice design with facades of milk oak color, but the body is made of chipboard, which explains the low price.
It is similar to it and model "Macarena" produced by the company "Standmebel". All options in the lowest segment up to 30,000 rubles. compact and do not have original design elements - they are designed for budget renovation in a small apartment.
Modular living rooms from 30,000 rubles. are already distinguished by their luxurious design. Most often, they are designed like a solid wood using MDF or veneer facades, which makes such furniture look solid. For example, white modular system "Almeria" from HomeMe, in which the white color is perfectly combined with the imitation of sanremo oak. A very trendy option when the wall forms a rectangle of cabinets and shelves or the letter G.
Advice
When choosing a wall, do not forget about the need for its harmonious combination with the rest of the room. A model wall is a rather voluminous object that is constantly in sight, so its non-recording can ruin the interior of the room. Fortunately, there will be no problem with the choice of options.
Most often, the central part of the wall is used to place a TV, but there are exceptions - instead of a TV, you can put an aquarium or a picture in the space.
Open or closed shelves, the presence of cabinets and other elements - it is better to think through all this in advance.
The interior looks good when the modular wall is identical in color and material to the furniture opposite. For example, you can pick up a black table and a light sofa against a black and white wall. With a noticeable number of glass shelves and other elements, a coffee table made of the same material will look good.
