Hanging cabinets in the living room: choice and design

Each person tries to decorate his house or apartment in a beautiful design. The design of the living room deserves special attention. Currently, to create style in such a room, various models of wall cabinets are often used. Today we will talk about what features these pieces of furniture have.

Hanging cabinets for the living room are a modification of the kitchen storage compartments. They are small sash systems. Such structures are installed directly on the walls.

Such sections take up little space in the room, while they can accommodate a large number of things. Under the wall cabinets, you can place other compartments, a TV stand or a chest of drawers. This furniture can be hung not only in the middle of the wall, but also under the ceiling in the room. Today, corner models of hinged sections are also produced.

Today wall cabinets for the hall are available in several versions:

• vertical - such designs are narrow and shortened pencil cases;
• horizontal - they look like narrow but long sections along the walls;
• square - all sides of such wall cabinets have the same length and width.

This leaves no empty corners.Most often, these types of furniture are made according to individual orders. Such sections are made from different materials. But the most popular is the combination of compressed wood shavings, metal base and plastic parts.

Today's modern living room wall cabinets are made in a wide variety of styles. Glossy black or white designs are considered a popular option for high-tech or minimalist interiors.

Today, glossy high, but narrow sections, decorated in light colors, are also available. They are able to visually increase the height of the living room. Facades with large glass doors can be used for the same purpose.

For loft-style interiors, glossy or matte wall cabinets in dark colors are an excellent option. (dark gray, brown, black). Moreover, such furniture is often made without handles. For classic design furniture made of natural wood with a natural pattern may be suitable.

Glossy white wall cabinets are an interesting option. Moreover, the sides of such structures are often decorated in black colors. They are usually used to create a Scandinavian or Art Nouveau style,

The inner filling of hanging cabinets for the living room can be made of the same material as the outer body. It may include several spacious shelves for storing things, separated by small partitions. It also includes special fasteners on which the doors are installed.

In total, there are several basic types of decoration for hanging compartments for halls.

• Framework... The central part of the product is cut from a wooden base. It is clamped on all sides by special strips, which are made of polymers or metal. These designs are reminiscent of a photo frame.
• Whole... It is a bar that is made from one type of material and certain sizes. This type is called "deaf".
• Made... Several separate fragments in the form of geometric shapes, which are connected by a metal profile. This method allows you to increase the decorative effect of the product due to the combination of figures.

But in this case, for the living room, it is better to choose facades with a tinted, matte or patterned coating. Remember that these items should not be hung under light sources as this can create flickering reflections.

Also The sections made of bamboo in an exotic style will look original. But such material should be covered again with a layer of varnish every six months. Otherwise, it will quickly begin to crack and lose its original appearance.

If you want to to give the interior a little oriental flavor, then you better use special perforated wood overlay panels for this. But at the same time, you need to choose the right ornament (polyhedrons, star). Such products are made according to individual orders. Such overlays are attached to the facades of the product. The most impressive will be surfaces that are decorated in a brighter contrasting color compared to the colors of the wall cabinet itself.

Some people prefer to choose furniture with mahogany veneer. This technique makes it possible to give furniture a solid and elegant appearance. Thin wood veneers can accurately reproduce the rich color and interesting pattern of this expensive material.

You can give preference to products with interesting polymer coatings that can last a long time even without special care.

But at the same time products with this application are often subject to mechanical damage, therefore, during operation, the structure can quickly become covered with a net of small scratches.

Hanging cabinets for halls have a range of important advantages.

• Serve as a great addition to interior decoration. Such furniture designs will be able to complement the interior in the style of minimalism, hi-tech, modern or loft.

• Cannot withstand too heavy loads. If you place overly heavy objects in the compartments, they may break down and fall off the mountings.
• When installing, take into account the material of the cabinet. If the material turns out to be too soft, then you will have to abandon the installation of a heavy hinged section.
• It is difficult to find a balance between appearance and level of functionality. If you give preference to too deep and bulky hinged compartments, then this can ruin the overall interior of the living room.

Before buying a suitable wall unit for the living room, there are some nuances to consider. So, cabinets should fit into the overall interior design. Furniture must be purchased immediately after you have completely thought out the interior of the living room.

In such rooms, it is better to place several similar offices of medium and small size. In this case, narrow horizontal boxes will look most advantageous.

When choosing, it is also necessary to take into account the color scheme, which will dominate the interior design of the living room. Decide in advance what role the structure will play - it can simply merge with the overall interior, or it can become a bright design accent.

In addition to the color scheme, be sure to take into account the texture of the structure. Indeed, depending on it, the color of the section can look different in the interior.
