How to choose a modern slide into the living room (hall)

Modern interior design trends suggest a minimal amount of furniture. According to this concept, most things should be stored in storage systems. But not everyone and not always manages or wants to fully follow these rules. Cabinet furniture is still necessary, though not in such quantity or form as before. For example, the walls of slides in the living room. Modern options – far from a set of cabinets and interesting and diverse furniture ensembles.

Types of modern furniture slides

Before you choose a wall of slides in the living room, think about what you want to place on this furniture. Someone needs to store clothes, so there must necessarily be a closet and a chest of drawers. Someone plans to place dishes, so you need a special cabinet for dishes. Someone needs a slide in the hall to install video-audio equipment. So you need shelves of large sizes. Someone plans to place books – to be able to do this, there should be a lot of shelves. There are also options that serve only for installing a TV and decorative things. In general, choose a furniture wall should be based on your needs.

Choosing a wall of slides in the living room, you should still talk about the shape and size. There are furniture of three types:

• Along one wall. Such a wall can occupy the entire wall from edge to edge, or maybe – only some part. In the second case, it tries to place it in the middle of the wall, so that the two sides remained approximately the same.

  

• Corner. Not a bad option for small rooms or if all the desired on one wall does not fit.
• U-shaped. This is an option for spacious living rooms, since such ensembles look good only in large volumes.

  

Without cabinets

If you have a closet or closet in your house and there are enough places to store things, you can do without cabinets at all. In this case, the walls of the slide in the living room consist of drawers and shelves. Make low wide floor boxes, on which you can place a TV, other appliances, decorative items. Above on the wall are hung open or closed shelves-cabinets. And their shape is most often non-linear – broken, can even use drawers of different heights. The main thing is to combine them competently. A few examples of modern wall mounts for the living room without cabinets in the photo gallery.

Strictly speaking, this is a set of bollards and hinged cabinets of different configurations, but in old memory they are also called walls of slides.

Mini slides

In small living rooms put bulky furniture will not – it will finally “eat” the volume, because of which the room will be uncomfortable and uncomfortable. For such cases there are mini walls. They consist of literally a few items – a couple of bollards, on which put the TV and equipment, a small closet and / or chest of drawers. From above – above the pedestal for more can be located several shelves of open or closed design.

These wall slides in the living room should also be chosen for their functionality. You will have to store something in them. Here and think, kokoi of the samples will be more convenient for you. Open shelves will be needed to be able to put your favorite books or decor elements, but they quickly accumulate dust and it is also worth bearing in mind.

Linear and angular

In a medium-sized living room, most often put linear or angular walls. As already mentioned, the number of cabinets, dressers, drawers, lockers are chosen based on what things and in what quantity will have to store in them. If you need a lot of cabinets, so that they do not look bulky, choose a light coloring of the doors. Some doors can be made of translucent glass and in these cabinets to make backlighting. This will make the furniture even less “pressing” and looks such an ensemble is more modern.

Make the furniture visually lighter can be if the bottom part will be dark, and the top – light. Not necessarily white. Colors are suitable but milky, light beige, creamy, light gray, etc. In the same gamut as the dark bottom, but much lighter.

A little about the location of furniture in the wall slide for the living room. If there are cabinets, with a linear arrangement, they are put on the edges, leaving the middle almost empty – under the installation of a TV set put a low cabinet, above can be placed a couple of shelves.

Much rarer are the models of walls of slides, in which cabinets for clothes and dishes or pencil cases are interspersed with shelves and are not on the edges, but in an arbitrary place. It can not be said that this type of furniture arrangement is worse. It is simply more original and non-standard.

Corner walls of slides in the living room are much more diverse in terms of furniture arrangement. Sometimes cabinets also stand on the edges, the middle is occupied by low tables, in the center (in the corner) a place for the TV. There is the opposite layout – in the center – a corner cabinet (or cabinets), on the edges of low drawers and shelves above them.

Corner walls of the slide in the living room can occupy completely one wall and only capture a small part of the adjoining. This is convenient if the room is small and not far from the corner is a window. It is a corner variant of the layout will allow more rational use of space, which otherwise can not be used.

Modular wall slides

Make furniture to order – it’s not bad, but expensive and usually have to wait a long time. Standard options are also not suitable for everyone – the height, length, or layout does not suit. Therefore, furniture manufacturers began to make collections of cabinets, cabinets, boxes, boxes, boxes in the same style and color, but different sizes. From these components, as from the constructor make your own version of the wall of the slide – for your needs and the dimensions of the room. Not a bad idea, especially when you consider that the cost is low: the set is standard, mass production, the cost of production is lower.

Some furniture factories or workshops offer some set of colors in which each system is produced. This expands the possibilities of combination. In general, if you need an inexpensive wall slide in the living room – look closely at modular systems.

Choice of material and color

The choice of model and composition of cabinets – this is only part of the task. It is still necessary to decide on the material from which the furniture will be made, as well as the color and type of surface.

Wall slides in the living room, like any other furniture, are made of wood, MDF and particleboard. Wooden belongs to the premium class, has a high price. The cheapest furniture is made of chipboard. This material is used to make economy class models. Particleboard – the middle price segment.

What are the disadvantages of chipboard? In that its production uses a binder – glue, which emits harmful substances. In dangerous quantities, these substances are emitted from low-quality material with an emission class of E2 and above. If the emission class of particleboard E1 or E0 material is considered harmless and it is even allowed to make children’s furniture (class E0), wall slides in the living room and quite. When buying furniture, ask about certificates for chipboard in order to control the quality of the material.

Principles of color design

A separate topic – the choice of color and type of surface. Color design depends on the style of the interior, the dominant colors in the design, the size of the room and, finally, from the tastes and desires of the owners. So it is almost impossible to give advice in absentia. But there are a few universal rules, applying which you can make a successful choice.

There are three main types of color combinations that are used in the design of rooms:

In any case, one color is dominant and it is a lot, all the others – in details and accessories. When applied to living room decorating, the main color is usually painted on the walls and added in some furnishings.

Based on this principle, you need to decide what color – dominant or additional – will be your wall slide for living room. If you want to transfer the accents to it – then the color should make it stand out from the environment, if it is only a background, the coloring is close to the main color.

Furniture colors and their perception

Most often furniture is made in the brown range – from dark brown to light beige tones. Quite often you can see black, gray and white ensembles, colored ones are not so common – they require careful selection of style and accessories, which is quite difficult. Let’s consider how the most common colors for the wall in the living room are perceived.

• Brown. Creates a feeling of confidence, stability and coziness. Dark shades make the interior heavy, established, thorough. Without problems fits into almost any style, traditionally combined with white, beige, green, looks good with blue. It is suitable for spacious rooms, making the atmosphere more chamber-like.

  

• Black. It is a very cold color, in large quantities can cause anxiety. But as an accent perfectly harmonizes the interior. If in your living room the walls and the rest of the furniture are very light, a black wall slide will fit in wonderfully, creating a contrast.

  

• Gray. A neutral color that serves as a great background for brighter things. If you need to highlight some other group in the living room, the furniture wall can be put gray. Also gray can be combined with other colors. Dark shades look good with red trim, medium – with pink, green, purple.

  

• White. A color that expands the boundaries, makes the room larger. This color in any of its shades is combined with any other color. That’s why it is so popular lately. It can be used in small rooms to visually increase the volume.

  

• Beige. Another of the neutral colors. It is perfectly combined with any bright color. It feels not as sterile as white, but not as “heavy” as brown. Often combined with dark brown, bright red, pink, turquoise, purple, azure. Beige wall slide for the living room will perfectly emphasize the texture of the floor and ceiling, will serve as a background for bright designer things.

  

And all these colors can be combined with bright or matching. Black is often combined with white or beige. Also any bright color is combined with it. To white in general, any color is added. So there are a lot of options.

The choice of color also implies the choice of surface type – textured, matte, glossy or semi-glossy. All of them with the same color look different. If you need to create a chamber, cozy atmosphere, matte, deep tones are suitable. For light interiors in the style of high-tech, minimalism, you can use gloss or semi-gloss. Only take into account that glossy surfaces will have to be often rubbed to keep their attractive appearance.
