Brief overview of the article
Where to place
As a rule, the structure is placed along the wall opposite the soft group.

This is not only beautiful in terms of composition, but also convenient in terms of interior logic - most often the wall frames the TV, and it is usually placed in front of the sofa.
However, the area and shape of the room do not always allow the system to be placed strictly in the center. For a small living room, a modern corner wall is suitable - this arrangement looks unusual, but significantly saves space, since it uses the area of an empty corner. If the living room is combined with a kitchen and they are separated by a small partition, the structure is often moved closer to the window. The sofa group will be placed there.
When planning the placement of the wall, remember about ergonomics: all cabinets should open freely (put at least 50-60 cm in front of each door), and free access to the shelves should be provided. Also make sure that this area has all the necessary outlets (TV, record player, humidifier, robot vacuum cleaner, etc.) and are within easy reach.

What are the walls like?
Modern walls for the hall are mostly modular. They are assembled from individual parts into a single whole. For convenience, they can be swapped horizontally, and wall cabinets can be rearranged in height. Such transformation of individual components allows you to change the design and introduce some variety into the environment. There are not many options for execution. They can be straight or angular, with a wardrobe or a computer desk.
Direct
Straight walls are installed near one of the walls. They play the role of the central exposition. Depending on the design and style, owners can draw attention not only to the wall, but also to individual interior items.
This could be a free-standing vase, a stereo system, or a TV. To highlight individual parts or the entire furniture complex, LED lighting is used.
Corner
Corner walls are installed in large rooms. They take up a lot of space and are difficult to transform. The cabinet covering the corner cannot be moved or rearranged. In fact, it becomes the center of the composition, and individual modules can only be rearranged around it. Making a good design project for a corner wall is not that easy.
Wall slide
The modern wall slide for the hall differs from others in its design and structural simplicity. Modular or cabinet wall components can be rearranged, open shelves alternate with free-standing closed ones.
They often lack a wardrobe for outerwear. Preference is given to a place for a TV, a computer desk, or a DVD player with speakers. LED lighting makes it modern and stylish. For small one-room apartments this is the most acceptable solution. If desired, you can assemble a wall slide from completely different modules.
No TV
The speed of modern life is changing the established rules of life. TV is gradually being pushed into the background in front of the Internet. Small TVs have given way to large LCD or plasma TVs. There is simply nowhere to put them. The niche for the TV alone will occupy half the wall. Therefore, modern models of walls without a TV are also popular in the interior. This is furniture made in a minimalist style with a refusal to be decorative, simple contours and maximum functionality. The best styles for walls in a room without a TV are: Pop Art, Techno, Hi-Tech, Kitsch, Loft.
With computer place
Popular wall models are designed in such a way that you can fit all the necessary equipment into them. Whether it's a computer or TV. It all depends on the requests of the living room owners.
Options for combining furniture in the interior
The most important point is the perfect combination of the wall with other furniture and harmony with the overall style of the room. According to psychologists, in a room whose walls are painted green or gray, human mental activity is stimulated.
In such a living room, experts advise placing sets of gray, white, brown, blue, beige, white or furniture in soft pastel colors.
- The gray color of the set is suitable for the main room of the apartment in whatever style it is decorated. Experienced designers advise breaking up some monotony with bright accessories.
- Soft shades of blue help people concentrate. This color suits the high-tech style and visually expands the space of small rooms.
- Black or dark brown should be used very carefully. There is a risk of comparing the hall to an office space.
- Beige will bring warmth and coziness to the living room. This is an almost ideal option for a wall in the living room.
White furniture has many advantages. It adds chic and gloss to the room and visually enlarges the space. There are many opportunities to dilute the whiteness. The best way is to choose bright accessories.
Pastel colors of furniture are chosen by those people who believe that the living room should, first of all, be conducive to calm, relaxation and rest.
Selection rules
Before going to the store to buy a wall, you should decide on the following points:
- Measure the height of the room, calculate the width and depth of the cabinets, and determine the size of the doors.
- Think in advance about what and where you will store the headset. Where will you place your TV, computer or other equipment?
- Follow the immutable rule - for a small room, purchase lightweight modular designs. For spacious living rooms, a choice of linear models is possible.
- Make sure that the color of the wall matches the overall color scheme and fits organically into the interior.
- Calculate your financial capabilities. Walls made of MDF and chipboard are budget options and do not require much maintenance. Products made from natural materials are more demanding in terms of maintenance rules and are much more expensive in price.
Advice! Take your time with the purchase. Think over all the little things - this wall is the thing that should serve the owners for more than one year.
About the manufacturers
After you have determined for yourself the style and configuration of future furniture, the question arises of how and where to buy it.
It is believed that imported furniture is of higher quality, although more expensive, however, one should not immediately abandon domestically produced furniture, and the Russian market is constantly developing in terms of quality and materials; it is definitely cheaper to make custom-made furniture in Russia.
Of course, cost will play a role; on average, prices in one segment will be approximately the same.
When choosing a manufacturer, priority should be given to those who specialize specifically in modular systems. In the price list of each enterprise you can find models for every budget.
The most famous in this area will be Ikea, a manufacturer with a wide catalog of modules and components, providing a choice for any interior.
Preference, perhaps, should be given to higher quality furniture that will last for many years, but on the other hand, inexpensive furniture can be updated more often.
