If you have long been interested in what a wall cabinet should be like in a living room, then this article will help clarify many questions.

Features of choosing a cabinet for the living room

Since the living room is the largest room in the apartment and can combine a dining room, a second bedroom or an office, the choice of furniture should be approached especially carefully:

  • When selecting this furniture element, first of all, take into account its dimensions and the parameters of the room.
  • It is desirable that the cabinets be combined with the interior style not only in decor, but also in materials.
  • In a small living room, you should not use large models that take up space. It is better to place a narrow cabinet-case, compact mini-structures here, or place hanging products.
  • For a small square-shaped room, it is recommended to place the wall cabinets higher, almost under the ceiling.

Purpose and features

The choice of a wardrobe for the living room in an apartment depends on the goals pursued by its future owners. Its purpose for living rooms can be different; accordingly, 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 the apartment or house it is located. An open or closed type design with any facade is suitable for this;
  • storage of household items. This applies to many household items, for example, by equipping the interior space of the wardrobe, you can not only store clothes there, but also put an ironing board or hide a vacuum cleaner;
  • open areas such as niches can be used as bookshelves; photo frames, clocks and other items can be placed on them;
  • in some small-sized apartments, where the living room serves as a bedroom, transformable wardrobes with a folding bed are used.

The peculiarity of the hall closet is its versatility and the fact that it is used by all family members. The dimensions and pre-thought-out arrangement of shelves, hangers, rods and other accessories help this element to be a universal item.

What kind of cabinet can I use?

The following types of structures are used to decorate the hall.

Modular

Thanks to the possibility of different placement of modules, this model has a more interesting look and is perfect for creating a custom design. The multi-level design of the slide will add special effectiveness, style and uniqueness to the hall.

Built-in

It is the most comfortable and optimal solution for small rooms in Khrushchev, since such a product is built into a niche and occupies a minimum of space. To save even more space, such cabinets are sometimes equipped with sliding doors.

Closet

A well-chosen wardrobe can organically complement the interior of even a small room and provide a convenient and spacious enough storage space for the whole family.

These designs are particularly practical and can have a wide variety of interiors, in the form of shelves, drawers, floor baskets and other fittings. Also, quite often, sliding wardrobes are used as partitions for zoning a room. In this case, the rear wall of the structure is equipped with shelves for photo frames and books, or double-sided models are used.

Swing

It is the classic and most familiar option, which can be equipped with shelves or compartments for clothes. Swinging products most often look more massive and take up a sufficient amount of space.

Display cabinet

It is a product that has one or more walls made of glass, acrylic or transparent plastic. Display cases provide visual storage of items in the form of beautiful dishes, tea sets, porcelain or crystal decor, various souvenirs, figurines and other trinkets that you want to demonstrate and put on public display.

Pencil case

It has a narrow rectangular shape, which makes it especially suitable for small living rooms. This elongated vertical single-door design harmonizes perfectly with other interior elements and allows you to achieve interesting compositional solutions.

Suspension

Wall-mounted models can be mounted to the very ceiling or located in the center of the wall. Higher wall placement does not interfere with free movement in space, and also allows installation of any other furniture under cabinets.

Combined

Quite often, a closet is combined with a computer desk, this way it is possible not only to organize a comfortable workspace in the living room, but also to make the design of the room more thoughtful and complete. Sometimes combined models can hide a small sofa or even a bed behind the doors.

Why is a wall cabinet a good idea?

To live in a comfortable and pleasant home, you need to think in advance about a plan for arranging furniture in the apartment. This is usually very difficult, because you have to choose between quality, convenience, beauty and economy, and sometimes it’s impossible to find a compromise. A particularly important room in the house is often considered the living room, which receives people and serves as a place for relaxation for the family and everyone else.

Modern wall cabinet

Although there is a stereotype in our heads that finding furniture for a guest room is difficult, there is one item that is often used in the interior - a wall cabinet. In any home it is the main detail and decoration of the living room. There are many reasons why you should put it in your living room:

  • This design is very compact, which makes it possible not to purchase a large number of individual pieces of furniture.
  • The convenient scale of the design also allows you to install it even in a small room, satisfying the need for a place to place objects and things.
  • Wall cabinets are easy to install even without the help of a specialist.
  • If you have some kind of design idea, you can buy individual parts of the structure.
  • The modular design will make it possible to quickly replace one specific element without touching the remaining parts.
  • A different number of elements allows you to embody your own design ideas and make the most of square meters.

Dispel stereotypes

The popularity of this type of furniture in our homes dates back to Soviet times. Back then the walls were quite bulky, clumsy, and sparsely decorated, but they were still sold out by everyone. Today, a significant number of unusual and beautiful wall cabinets are being created and sold that can decorate your room.

Advice We must not forget that the vast majority of manufacturers provide the opportunity to make a model to order. If you have an unusual interior design plan or the dimensions of the room are not quite standard, take advantage of this offer.

The popularity of this interior element dates back to Soviet times.

Filling options

Basic options for internal equipment.

Cupboard

A china cabinet or buffet is distinguished by the presence of glass doors behind which festive dinnerware, porcelain, crystal and much more are displayed. This design is especially appropriate if the living room is combined with the dining room. Sometimes these products are combined with a bar with a special compartment for drinks.

Under TV

Such a multifunctional furniture element is an alternative interior solution that not only has an original design and harmoniously fits into the design of the room, but also at the same time provides an area with a cabinet or chest of drawers for placing a TV device and storage space for things. Such a semi-open cabinet is mainly equipped with additional niches, shelves for related equipment, books, etc.

For clothes

Clothes closed structures are fully formed and belong to cabinet furniture. The simplest option is considered to be a two-door wardrobe, one half of which involves horizontal storage of items on shelves, and the other - vertical placement of items on a rod using hangers.

Bookcases

Shelves or cabinets with books give the room a special atmosphere and create a more serious and slightly austere design.

Living room wall set

Traditionally, a wall of furniture in a living room is understood as a comprehensive storage system. It usually includes various cabinets and shelves.

Often the set of components alternates in format: open and closed blocks.

  • The classic version contains only shelves, which can be closed with blind or glass doors, and also remain visible. The wall can be solid or consist of stacked modules.
  • In modern variations, sideboards and glass cabinets have lost their relevance. If such blocks are made, they are much more compact than in classic products. Extensive bookshelves are also less in demand.


Therefore, their area is reduced. The wall may include narrow cabinets with a rod for hanging clothes. The presence of open radius blocks for arranging decor or storing small items is popular. The place for the TV becomes the central link of such an item.

Cabinet sizes and shapes

For a spacious hall, quite spacious, long three-leaf or larger wall-length structures are often preferred. This model can replace a wardrobe and easily provide storage space for clothes, bedding, books, dishes and other wide variety of items.

Also, to maintain order in the room, tall cabinets are used, which perfectly accommodate a huge variety of things necessary in everyday life. In small living rooms, corner models of a semicircular, trapezoidal or triangular shape would be appropriate. They make the best use of free space, add style to the interior and eliminate bulkiness.

Radius oval products with smooth lines and a convex or concave shape look very original. Such rounded cabinets can occupy a corner in the room or be located along the wall. They easily follow the curves of the room and are perfect for decorating a non-standard layout.

Dimensions of modern walls for the living room

If previously the walls could almost completely occupy the entire longest surface of the room, now the dimensions of this piece of furniture are changing.

  • Compact things that seem to dissolve in space are becoming relevant.
  • Despite the large dimensions of the room, such an item will look appropriate.
  • If you cannot refuse products with large cabinets and shelves, then preference should be given to at least a lightweight design.

These are light colors, the presence of light open shelves. That is why the most popular are modular systems that can be easily distributed around the perimeter of the room. Light-looking slides are also popular.

Color spectrum

In a small room, cabinets are mainly found in pastel shades, such as sand, gray, beige, milky or white. Models made in light colors do not visually overload or weigh down the space, giving it lightness and freedom.

To create an unusual, bright and extravagant design, choose designs in bright and rich colors, for example, blue, yellow, green, blue, coral, lilac, pink, lemon or any other.

To give the atmosphere a special harmony and clarity of lines, use products with facades in black or a dark shade of wenge. Such furniture looks truly luxurious and adds a certain conservatism and respectability to the interior.

Which manufacturer to choose

The market can offer you a wide range of furniture manufacturers (both domestic and foreign). Furniture factories Lazurit, Ronikon and Amelie are considered leaders in production in Russia.

Manufacturers are distinguished by a high level of quality and a large assortment of furniture, which is made in a wide variety of styles and from a wide variety of materials.

The main advantage of these manufacturers is their low cost compared to foreign manufacturers.


Foreign manufacturers are represented by the following countries: Italy, China, Germany, Spain and a number of other countries.

Examples of location in the hall

Most popular accommodation options:

  • In the corner. By installing a cabinet with such a specific configuration, it is possible to rationally use a corner in the room and significantly save usable space in it, which is especially appropriate for small rooms.
  • The entire wall. A solid structure located along the entire wall is a fairly practical and simple way to store a large number of things.
  • Around the doorway. This furniture set with a mezzanine practically merges with the doorway, has a very original appearance, excellent spaciousness and undoubtedly becomes the main interior decoration.
  • Around the window. It is an indispensable solution that allows you to unload the room, give it comfort, coziness and order. In addition, cabinets around the window provide the opportunity to convert the space under the window opening into a desk, desk or cozy sofa.
  • Into the niche. This arrangement is used most often. Cabinets that fully match the depth and configuration of the niche fit perfectly into the recess and save free space in the room.

If there is a fireplace in the living room, cabinets can be installed on the wall adjacent to it. In this case, it is important that the furniture does not stand out too much from the general background, but only complements the interior concept.

Also, similar products are often used for zoning a room in a one-room apartment. A tall structure installed in the right place will help divide the space into several functional areas.

Common design trends

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

Let's consider the most popular directions:

Modern. Used to create storage systems suitable for city dwellers. It is characterized by the presence of glass, glossy panels in the design and has simple silhouettes. Thanks to this, there is no “pressing” effect and the interior looks simple.

Classical. The fashion trend has always been classic. The proven style for years will fit perfectly into the design of the apartment. For such a living room, an excellent solution would be a large wall made of natural materials with mirror doors and gold frames. The ornament of flowers on the surface will add richness.

Japanese. Fans of the Land of the Rising Sun will appreciate this design solution. Sliding doors, pastel colors and Japanese ornaments will create a unique oriental ambiance.

Minimalism. Dedicated to the young and advanced! The basic philosophy is nothing superfluous, a minimum of design and details. Modern cabinets take up all or most of the wall. All multimedia equipment is harmoniously built into them and shelves and compartments for clothes are hidden.

Ethnic. Northern patterns, African frescoes, Egyptian hieroglyphs are becoming widespread among young designers. A distinctive feature is the various shapes and exotic designs.

There are a great many photographs of living room cabinets on manufacturers' websites. These resources will help you easily decide on your style choice.

Photos of the living room in various styles

For classical and neoclassical styles, the traditional solution is rectangular structures made of natural wood in restrained shades. To decorate facades, mirrors, various glass inserts, and carved and forged decor are used.

Minimalism involves the use of more strict and laconic models that have solid doors with a plain and smooth matte surface.

High-tech, characterized by products with facades coated with lacobel or doors decorated with chrome elements, mirrors, glass, plastic or even leather inserts.

For a cozy and bright Provence, cabinets in pastel colors, decorated with floral patterns, sandblasting and photo printing, are especially suitable, and for rustic country, products made from wood with an aging effect will be appropriate.

In modern style, there are often cabinets that are distinguished by a laconic structure, hidden fittings and doors with a smooth surface. Models with plastic and laminated glossy facades are fully consistent with the trends in this direction.

Styling a wardrobe for the living room

To highlight the zest in the interior, you need to choose the right style direction. In this regard, the increased size of the living room gives greater freedom of choice:

  • Colonial. The furniture is somewhat heavy and massive, but it fits perfectly into offices and halls. Capable of creating a feeling of respectability and wealth. Decorations usually include figured cutting on the doors along the contour and a lot of varnishing. The color scheme comes down to coffee, ripe walnut and mahogany. Light shades are rarely used. The furnishings have a rather simple silhouette;
  • Palace styles. These are the well-known Rococo and Baroque. Italians are recognized furniture makers in these areas. Sets can be decorated with inserts made of crystal or porcelain with painting, figured casting with gilding, and carvings. As the main one, stop at all shades of beige, sand, gray, white. Dark colors don’t go well with so much decor;
  • High tech. One of the trendiest trends, involving a large amount of glass, chromed steel and bright colored plastic. Characterized by extremely extravagant silhouettes and deliberately broken lines. More suitable for young and active people. With its help you can create an almost fantastic design.

In the manufacture of cabinets, both natural and artificial materials are used. The most popular are wooden structures, less expensive, but at the same time, products made from chipboard are considered quite relevant. Combined models are also often used in the living room interior.

To decorate facades, exotic and original decor from bamboo, rattan, natural or artificial leather is sometimes used, and mirror elements are also chosen as inserts, visually enlarging the room and adding additional light to it.

Basic requirements for the cabinet

By modern standards, the design of the living room should be as spacious and simple as possible. This room is used for receiving guests, family evening gatherings and spending time together. As a rule, this room contains either a small wall, or one chest of drawers and several shelves, as well as a sofa and a coffee table.

This is quite enough to provide the required functionality to the room, while leaving a lot of free space, allowing you not only to move freely around the room, but even to play active games.

Sometimes it happens that one wardrobe in the bedroom is not enough, and you need to place another one somewhere so that all things are stored in the proper place.

In this case, you need to take into account several factors that will help you rationally organize the space and at the same time leave a lot of free space.

Living Room Design Ideas

Antique products with an aged appearance look very original. Sometimes these cabinets are decorated with moldings, trims and other elements. No less beautiful designs have designs with glass or mirror doors, which can be decorated using sandblasting or stained glass designs.

Also on the facades there is often photo printing, which is a modest pattern or a full-fledged large image. An excellent decor is a variety of interesting fittings that give the furniture a unique accent.

Bar, showcase and other models with decorative lighting have a particularly unusual look. They not only attract attention, but also highlight objects located behind the glass, adding shine and glare from LED bulbs.

Tips for choosing

There are a number of tips for choosing any type of furniture for a living room in an apartment that will help you save your family budget, avoid disappointment from an unsuccessful purchase, and enjoy organizing the interior of your home. We present to your attention the main recommendations:

  • the quality of materials must be of a high level and meet modern standards of furniture production. The safest wood is one that is not treated with resins and glues, which are harmful to human health. It is also worth paying attention to cheaper certified products made from MDF boards, glass, or plastic. When choosing a wooden cabinet, pay attention to the species oak, cedar, ash;
  • Safety concerns not only the issue of materials, but also the quality of workmanship. Product parts must be in good working order and also have the appropriate certificates. It is better to give preference to fittings and working mechanisms from famous manufacturers. All moving mechanisms should operate quietly in normal condition. Extraneous sounds of crunching or creaking indicate malfunctions that will soon result in serious damage;
  • door handles are a part of swing doors that often hit walls or nearby furniture. Pay attention to how the wall is positioned relative to the corners of the walls and easily scratched surfaces;
  • You should choose aluminum rollers in sliding doors - they are quieter and more reliable. Plastic parts are cheap and short-lived;
  • Swing doors must have closers to ensure safe closing of the facade. This device is especially important for children;
  • Calculate the needs for the interior space of the cabinet in advance and think about its internal contents before purchasing. It is worth roughly estimating the available number of things and the desired volume of future acquisition.

By following the recommendations, choosing a new cabinet will be easy, and the purchase will bring pleasure not only at the time of purchase, but also during its use. It doesn’t matter whether your goal is a standard wall or a transformable cabinet, proper planning and preparation will help bring your intended interior to life.

Cabinet front material

From an aesthetic point of view, the material of the facade is even more important than what the cabinet frame is made of. The façade is the “face” of the cabinet; it should look attractive, not be difficult to maintain, and well protect the contents of the cabinet from external negative influences.

On a note! The façade includes doors, drawer faces, cornices and decorative trims.

The following materials are used to decorate the facade:

  • Glass. Typically, impact-resistant glass is used. This material is a real space for creativity. It can be matte or glossy, with a pattern, design or photo printing. The glass facade looks good in any interior style and does not overload the decor.

Decor and dishes look good behind the glass facade

For interior design ideas for a living room with a glass display case, watch this video:

  • Natural wood. Manufacturers often resort to this trick: they make the box from MDF or chipboard, and the facade from natural wood. The price of such a living room cabinet is lower than its all-wooden counterparts, and in appearance it will be no worse.

Natural wood makes the interior elegant

  • MDF board or chipboard. Thanks to finishing with veneer or lamination, such facades can be a good replacement for natural wood. Moreover, some models imitate solid wood or stone so well that it is difficult for the average user to accurately determine the material.
  • Mirror . The entire facade or its individual elements can be mirrored. Such facades are especially good for a small room, because they visually make the room larger.

A mirrored façade will help visually enlarge the space

  • Metal. Manufacturers rarely make a completely metal façade; nevertheless, such a model will look more like a safe and make the interior heavier. But as a material for decoration and for added strength, metal is popular.

Metal facade - durable and ultra-fashionable

It is not at all necessary that the facade be entirely made of one material. Interesting solutions can also be obtained by combining them: wood and metal, glass and MDF, etc.

Kinds

In the living room today you can place different types of cabinets, the main purpose of which is to store the wardrobe of the home owners. The following describes the most popular options among consumers.

Modular

The modular wardrobe is widely popular these days. This is affordable, practical to use furniture that is characterized by a high degree of mobility. Modular cabinets are produced in series that also contain cabinets, shelves and other pieces of furniture, so the cabinet itself can be selected separately or as a component wall. The modules are perfectly combined with each other, so they make it easy to create practical, comfortable interiors in an ordinary small living room.

The contents of a modular wardrobe are standard and not very varied, but the cost of such furniture is quite low. If a person has a completely standard wardrobe (trousers, dresses, sweaters, and not stage outfits and frills), and does not use a locker to store specific paraphernalia or sports equipment, then standard storage systems will be quite sufficient.

When selecting a model wardrobe for clothes, it is important to know exactly the parameters of the space into which it will fit.

Some difficulty may arise, since the width and height of model furniture are often standard and may not be suitable for a particular room. For example, the width of the wall is 155 cm, and the available width of the cabinet is 150 cm or 160 cm. Then you will have to take a one and a half meter product.

Built-in

Built-in wardrobes are made according to an individual design and measurements of a specific space, therefore they are somewhat more expensive than model products. But such furniture is created taking into account all the requirements of the home owner, based on his preferences, wishes, and habits.

A built-in wardrobe should be installed if the living room has a niche, a non-standard shape, or a free corner. Niche walls will help save on the cost of manufacturing such a structure. After all, you won’t have to spend money on purchasing material to create cabinet walls; instead, storage systems will be hung directly on the wall surface. The main thing is to choose convenient doors and organize the correct lighting of the cabinet, which will help make it as comfortable as possible for use.

If there is no niche, the cabinet can be made up to the ceiling, with one side adjacent to the wall. Such tall structures will help to accommodate the maximum number of clothes without losing free space in the hall.

Closet

The most popular option for the living room today is considered to be a wardrobe, which is characterized by convenience and good spaciousness. It is optimal to arrange such a product in such a way that it is in harmony with other pieces of furniture and becomes an integral component of a single interior.

This can be a design with two walls, a lid and doors, a product with one wall, a roof and doors, a design with one door and a storage system, the function of the walls and lid in which is performed by the walls and ceiling of the niches in the living room. It all depends on the characteristics of a particular space. You can also make a corner wardrobe for clothes. Here the variations are also quite wide, since the arrangement of shelves in such furniture can be different.

Shape of shelves inside the cabinetNature of the locationAdvantages and disadvantages
TriangularOne above the otherRoomy, but somewhat inconvenient to use.
Rectangular or squareL-shaped arrangementLess roomy, but very comfortable.
Pentagonal shelvesOne above the otherThe maximum level of spaciousness due to the impressive depth of the cabinet, but the minimum level of comfort, since it will not be easy to get to the deepest point.

Preparation of parts for the cabinet

According to the prepared drawing, parts of the appropriate size are cut out of solid wood. Sharp edges are treated with sandpaper, removing nicks.

All parts must be impregnated with antiseptic solutions and other compounds. This approach will protect the surface of the cabinet from pests, rotting and fire.

Material of manufacture

The material of manufacture plays an important role. The service life of furniture, environmental friendliness, price and resistance to external influences depend on it. In the manufacture of cabinets, manufacturers use the following materials:

Natural wood. Cabinets made of natural wood are durable, look elegant and luxurious. For a spacious room this will be the most suitable option. You can also buy a wooden cabinet for a small room, but the model should be discreet, otherwise it will look massive and inappropriate.

Natural wood - timeless classic

  • MDF . Fiberboard is not a cheap material, it is not much inferior to solid wood. It lasts a long time, is not afraid of moisture, and is harmless to health.

At first glance, MDF cannot always be distinguished from solid wood

  • Chipboard. Laminated particle board is a popular, fairly budget-friendly material. Stronger than chipboard, but a level lower than wood or MDF. The good thing about the material is that it is easy to care for and is not afraid of moisture and mechanical stress.

Chipboard cabinets - inexpensive but durable

  • Chipboard. Chipboard is not susceptible to rotting, insects and fungi. But it does not tolerate high temperatures and moisture. Subject to operating conditions, chipboard furniture will last at least 10 years.

buybuy

Chipboard cabinets can have completely different colors, but the most popular option is “wood”

Plywood or fiberboard can also be used to make the body. But these are budget materials that are not durable. Therefore, they are usually used to make only those elements for which there are no special requirements, for example, the back wall or bottom of small drawers.

Varieties

The interior of the living room must certainly be comfortable for each family member, so when choosing furniture it is important to take into account the needs of both children and adults. The following cabinet configurations are most relevant in the living room. Based on the specifics of installation, cabinets are distinguished:

  • suspended - do not have supports, as they are mounted on the wall surface. In recent years, this has been a very popular subtype of cabinets for living rooms, because such items allow you to rationally use the space of a small room. They do not visually burden a small room, allowing you to use the internal contents of the product as rationally as possible without compromising the space. The main thing is to choose reliable fastenings and avoid mistakes during the installation of such structures;
  • stationary floor - rest on legs. Such furniture can be easily moved, and installation in place does not require drilling into the walls.

Hanging Stationary
Based on the purpose, there are lockers:

  • book - used for storing books and magazines;
  • wardrobe - used to store a person’s personal wardrobe;
  • racks do not have doors, so they are relevant for arranging decorative accessories.

It is convenient to zone the living room space using cabinets for any purpose, if their design is successfully combined with the style of decoration on the walls. But you should refuse to replace the closet with a chest or chest of drawers. Such interior items will not be as functional and will not allow for the placement of a large number of clothes, accessories, and personal wardrobe items of the home owners. Especially if the room is not spacious.

How to choose a wall design

First of all, start from the purpose of the room. In the bedroom, it is better to focus on light, calm colors and simple shapes to better relax and unwind.

Any variations in color and design will suit the living room, because this is an entertainment area. Although, of course, it’s not worth cluttering it. And we shouldn’t forget about the general style of the room.

In a studio apartment or in a combined kitchen-living room, a wall under the TV will help divide the room, acting as a small but functional partition.

Since such rooms are a priori either small or “stuffed” with things, the design of the TV area should be as modest as possible. It can be supplemented with mirror or glass inserts to reflect light and expand the space.

In the example below, the cabinet is not only a stand for equipment, but also a partition at the same time. It stands in the middle of the room, but at the same time - opposite the entrance to the apartment. The designers decided not to make it deaf, so that the gaze would not rest on the wall. But thanks to the side beveled glass and the embossed back, the TV is covered, the light is refracted, and part of the room opens up.

Choosing a wall depending on the style of the room

When planning, you need to proceed from the needs of the family. If these are parents with many children, they will definitely need a convenient area for mass viewing of cartoons. This means that seating furniture should be soft and in colors that are pleasant for the child. The TV wall, accordingly, is harmonious and designed without unnecessary restraint, which would be chosen by lovers of strict classics.

We have already talked about the basic requirements for modern style.

Its currently popular subtype - minimalism - should be combined with clear geometry of forms, a small range of shades, and simple accessories.

Loft is characterized by roughness and brutality, and it can even be very colorful: this direction of modern style is not afraid of flashy colors. It also favors natural materials, and therefore it is better to choose a TV stand made of wood. In general, a cabinet or minimalist shelves are more appropriate than a cabinet. And the best back “panel” for a TV would be brickwork or pure concrete.

The most progressive of all modern styles is hi-tech. Glitter and light, minimalism taken to the extreme, clarity of forms, industrial materials (concrete, glass) - this is a short list of its characteristics. Very simple furniture with glossy facades, glass inserts and lighting is suitable here.

If spartan decor is not your thing, you can look to other styles. For example, “eternal classics” are wooden furniture with glass inserts, carved legs, filigree patterns, as well as sideboards, sets, gilding, and many ornate patterns. In large rooms you can use dark shades, and in small rooms - only light ones.

A wall in a classic style can be antique or antique-style. Its body is not collapsible, it always consists of a cabinet and a large number of additional compartments. There is room here for a bar, a mezzanine, and a TV. In a historical interior, equipment should ideally be placed in cabinets with doors, otherwise it will look foreign.

Art Nouveau loves noble basic colors - a combination of black, gray and white, as well as the proximity of books and figurines, although the palette is not limited to them. Welcomes asymmetry and sophistication of the environment. At the same time, she is a little strict and without frills. Glossy surfaces of cabinets and cabinets add gloss.

The oriental theme is also popular in modern apartments. And often this is no longer the elaborate style that is inherent in palace interiors. It was modernized, lost a significant part of the decor, and acquired clearer lines. But the craving for heavy natural materials, figured ornaments, and lighting remained.

Cozy Provence does not lose its relevance. It is romantic and opens up room for creativity for apartment owners, allowing them to “decoupage” to their heart’s content and add numerous accessories. The furniture is usually pastel colors, with curved legs and carvings on the front.
