The main purpose of the furniture wall in the hall is purely utilitarian. Modern consumer society is characterized by a large number of things. The walls are designed to organize their storage. Family, relatives or friends gather in the living room for holidays. The wall in the hall occupies a central place. The mood of the owners and guests will depend on its design and practicality. Modern multifunctional walls with a minimalist design are constructed from free-standing cabinets, shelves, and bedside tables.
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.
Wide variety of modules
Modern living room furniture contains the following types of modules:
- Floor-standing;
- Hanging;
- With open and blind façade areas;
- With doors that can be lowered down on brackets, rail doors and ordinary doors.
A noticeable difference in height between modules is now in the order of things.
Thanks to the modular, expandable design, the owner of such a set, as he accumulates money, can purchase new sections that will seamlessly connect with the already assembled set.
Styles
Modern furniture is made from individual modules. It is characterized by simplicity and minimalism. Bulky, heavy structures have disappeared from use. Individual modules can be easily rearranged from one place to another. This makes it possible to change the design of the room without purchasing new furniture. The abundance of different shades makes it possible to choose a set for every taste. In the struggle for buyers, designers are increasingly mixing a wide variety of styles and trends. Despite the emergence of new materials and finishing products, old design styles and trends do not give up their positions.
Modern
This style in architecture and design appeared at the beginning of the last century. In the modernist direction of furniture making there are two directions: constructivism and decorativeness. These styles were strongly influenced by national traditional forms.
This style is not for mass production. To emphasize the status of the owner, expensive dishes and porcelain are installed in display cabinets. For closed cabinets, chests of drawers and cabinets, MDF panels are used, processed on CNC machines according to individual orders. In addition to the wall, the common room should have other furniture in this style: tables, chairs, chests of drawers, bedside tables.
There is no escape from real life. When designing furniture, it is necessary to provide space for the TV.
High tech
High tech in furniture was formed as a result of a mixture of minimalism, pop art and constructivism. It combines: high-tech design, the use of modern materials, functionality, and clear geometric lines.
In this style, technical achievements are not hidden, but flaunted. The central element of the modular wall can be a TV or stereo system. Minimum items for viewing. Everything unnecessary is put away in wall cabinets. The fronts of cabinets and cabinets are smooth, even, matte or polished surfaces. The division of zones is carried out due to the light and dark colors of the facades.
Minimalism
Minimal room filling is the most popular trend in modern design. The colors chosen are white, black, gray, beige. The wall should not be flashy and fit clearly into the overall interior. The main part of the furniture structure should be closed from prying eyes.
Loft
The wall in the Loft-style room is more reminiscent of a tool rack, rather than the usual furniture wall. And this is not surprising. This is one of the industrial design styles that came to us from America. To decorate a room in this style, you need large areas and rooms with high ceilings. All objects located in the wall are put on display.
Features of selection and installation
In fact, a classic living room wall is massive furniture that consists of several autonomous elements. That is why all wall modules must be firmly secured not only to each other, but also to stand securely on the flooring. The furniture wall must be perfectly level in relation to the floor, otherwise the entire structure may become skewed.
Also, do not forget that when choosing these pieces of furniture you need to follow the basic recommendations:
- To prevent fading of the wall panels, the installation location should be planned in advance. The main thing is that the furniture is protected from direct sunlight.
- If possible, you should not purchase furniture from manufacturers unknown to you. Every self-respecting company gives a guarantee for its furniture, which will save you from problems in case of a poor-quality purchase.
- Determine in advance what exactly will be located on your furniture wall. Often, long shelving units intended solely for decorative purposes are unable to support much weight.
Materials for the manufacture of furniture walls
The basic materials for making furniture have not changed, these are:
- solid wood;
- MDF;
- Laminated chipboard.
Progress has moved towards color diversity. Furniture makers now have a lot of different films that imitate valuable species, varnishes, paints, stains and stains.
Solid wood
Solid wood furniture is the most expensive due to the complexity of manufacturing. The wood must dry for years to achieve the required moisture content. Technically, making furniture from solid wood is not a problem. Modern technologies and tools allow us to make furniture of any complexity and shape. The main difficulty is the finishing. Pay attention to the carved furniture from the royal chambers.
Craftsmen did not just decorate their furniture with gold. They simply did not have the technology to achieve the required surface cleanliness. It was cheaper for them to cover their products with gold leaf, ivory and precious stones than to try to polish the surface without having the equipment or materials for this. Modern technologies allow wood to be sanded and coated with clear varnishes to reveal the beauty of the wood. Solid wood furniture still remains expensive due to the high labor costs for its production.
MDF
Modern material for the manufacture of furniture facades. It is perfectly cut, pressed, and covered with decorative films, paints and varnishes. The wood-fiber mass is mobile and easily fills curved molds. This allows us to produce furniture walls for a common room of any complexity to suit different styles.
Stamped applied parts and imitation carvings make it possible to achieve similarity with antique products. Modern production technologies have made it possible to reduce prices for furniture facades made of MDF. Today, walls made of MDF facades are in the middle price category. In terms of strength and durability, MDF products are not inferior to wood.
Chipboard
Walls in the hall made of laminated chipboard are the cheapest. Thanks to the variety of films for valuable wood species, manufacturers have the opportunity to produce modular sections of different styles. This is mainly sectional furniture for general consumption. Office furniture and cabinets for furniture with MDF facades are also made from particle boards. This makes it possible to somewhat diversify the budget look of furniture walls. The only difficulty is the release of phenols and formaldehydes from finished products.
In modern furniture fashion there are no clearly established styles and trends. Everyone chooses the style and design of the furniture wall for the hall according to their own taste and financial capabilities.
