It is difficult not to notice how enormous popularity the furniture of light tones has gained in recent years (especially white). Apparently, the years of the Soviet deficit, when the choice was limited to dark and nondescript chests of drawers, affected the current needs. And the furniture market, in turn, is now able to offer a wide selection of options and satisfy any request.
Modular walls for living rooms are very different: with niches, drawers, wardrobe with doors, made of all kinds of materials. First you need to find out what sizes and equipment you need, what materials and design will fit, and the next step is to start choosing color solutions. There is no need to worry, since almost always now (even among standard models) manufacturers have options in white.
Features
White color is notable for its good ability to reflect sunlight, so this furniture primarily allows you to create the most spacious, bright 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 be perfectly tuned for relaxation after a hard day.
Besides, snow color in combination with absolutely any shades creates contrasting palettes. Especially fashionable now are pairs of white with purple, orange, yellow and green, and for lovers of the classics, black and white gamma is always relevant. If you want to lighten the room as much as possible, you can choose wallpaper in beige or sand tones, but you should not do absolutely everything white - there is a great risk of creating the impression of a hospital ward.
However, white furniture has universal flaws. Choosing a modular wall in the living room, it is worth remembering that in this room you will receive guests. So, it should be clean and tidy. The purity of white surfaces is much more difficult to maintain than any other. On snow-white furniture you will clearly see every speck and even specks of dust.
Surface types
What will be the surface of the furniture wall, depends on the material of manufacture. It can give dull or glossy reflections, be moisture resistant, etc. Volumetric elements, as well as a competently built backlight system, can give additional expressiveness.
Matte
Most often, the modules made of natural wood without a glossy finish have a matte surface. For example, bleached oak is usually covered only with matte varnish so that its original texture and color are fully visible.
Glossy
Glossy furniture in the living room will necessarily require a contrasting background, which, in turn, should be as neutral as possible, that 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 matte. Too much gloss will negate all efforts to create a comfortable, non-stressful space.
Materials
In addition to solid wood, which makes furniture an extremely expensive pleasure, there are a number of more affordable materials. The most popular are MDF and particleboard. They are a composite of wood chips and synthetic materials. The modular wall of MDF will come out somewhat more expensive, but this option is considered the best in terms of price and quality.
Do not think that at the same time such furniture will look worse than wooden. Furniture facades can be covered with bleached wood veneer or special PVC film, the surface of which imitates a wooden. Here the choice is especially wide, because such a film can be matte, and glossy, and pure white, and with a shade.
Some manufacturers of films even offer options with gilding and all kinds of patterns.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the elements of glass and metal. Now they can also be made in white, so the scope for design is very large. True, among standard models you are unlikely to meet this, but to order, manufacturing companies can make, for example, a model wall with shelves in frosted white glass.
Models
The range of modular systems for the living room is quite wide. Usually they cost from 8,000 rubles, but the cheapest are the simplest systems. For instance, Denver wall by Stolline It has a nice design with facades of the color of milk oak, but the case is made of chipboard, which explains the low price.
Similar to her model "Makarena" 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 repairs in a small apartment.
Modular living rooms from 30,000 rubles. already distinguished by luxurious design. Most often, they are made out of solid wood with the help of MDF facades or veneers, which makes the appearance of such furniture solid. For example, white Almeria modular system from HomeMe, in which white color goes well with imitation of Sanremo oak. A very trendy option when the wall forms a rectangle of cabinets and shelves or the letter G.
Tips
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-registration can spoil the interior of the room. Fortunately, there will be no problems with the choice of options.
Most often, the central part of the wall is used to place the TV, but there are exceptions - instead of the TV, you can place an aquarium or a picture in the space.
Open or closed shelves, the presence of cabinets and other elements - all this is better to think in advance.
The interior looks good when the color and material of the modular wall is identical 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.
