White cabinet, color features and how to fit such furniture into the interior

You need to take the design of your bedroom seriously. In a room for relaxation and sleep, the correct style and color scheme are important to make the residents feel comfortable and cozy. For a living room, you need to choose not only a beautiful and comfortable bed, but also a stylish dressing room. Designers advise purchasing furniture in light colors, so a white wardrobe for the bedroom will be the ideal solution.

A light-colored cabinet will fit into any design, adding a touch of romanticism to it.

Features of color and its shades

White is truly a royal color: its perfection and unique ability to combine with absolutely any decor, not only complementing it, but often becoming an accent, the center of the composition. White cabinets in the interior will always be a winning solution, since they can fit into a variety of styles - from minimalism to classics. You can easily verify this by looking at numerous photos of design solutions.

The neutrality of white allows you to combine it with similar shades - gray, beige, and with bright, rich decor of blue, red, green, orange tones. In the first case, it will serve as an addition to the design (if there is a lot of it) or highlight the most attractive elements of the interior (if it is the only light-colored piece of decor). In the second case, a neutral color will serve as a background, emphasizing active shades and contrasting with them. Only blurry yellow is considered a not very successful combination.

White color is universal:

it adds light to a dark, sometimes even gloomy interior;
it visually enlarges a small space;
it looks harmonious in any room of the house - children's room, living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom;
it invariably attracts attention with its impeccability.

Designers are ready to argue with housewives who advocate for order at home that the white version or other light-colored furniture is impractical. Yes, stains on a white surface are immediately noticeable, so it is better to remove them immediately. But dust and fingerprints from not very clean fingers do not become noticeable immediately. This does not mean that cleaning is not necessary, but the white color of furniture is not a reason to clean it more often than with cabinets, tables, and sofas of other colors.

In order to still protect yourself from excessively “stained” white, you can consider furniture options in shades close to it: ivory, cream, mother-of-pearl, cream, linen, alabaster. More restrained, but no less beautiful, shades of white have the same universal properties.

Wood texture work surface

The texture of the working surface depends on the financial capabilities of the buyer of the kitchen. It is made from chipboard with a laminated wood finish, natural wood and stone.

The first type is a standard offer from manufacturers of furniture sets. The second type is made by the client himself according to an individual order. The main difference between these countertops is not only the use of natural material and the difference in price. First of all, it is the appearance, which can emphasize the elegance and uniqueness of the interior. A perfectly polished work surface, an enlarged window sill, a bar counter or a table top made of oak, beech, or ash attract the eye, decorate and perfectly support the created image of an expensive white kitchen. Although it should be recalled that such surfaces require special attention and care.

In terms of practicality, chipboard wins. It goes well with white, provided it is used in doses in the interior. Inexpensive and quite a good selection.

White and wood kitchen surfaces can be paired with natural or faux stone work areas in a wide range of colors to complement wood countertops.

Varieties

White cabinets are suitable for furnishing almost all rooms of the house; the difference will only be in their functionality, size, and appearance.

for the kitchen, the most obvious option would be wall cabinets in which dishes, small household appliances, cereals, seasonings, and other small items are stored;
In the bedroom you cannot do without a wardrobe or wardrobe with hinged doors. The white surface of the cladding will add coziness to the room, harmonizing with light bed linen and a mirror on the dressing table, and frosted glass inserted into the doors will add restraint;
The children's room is an ideal place for both clothes and a bookcase in light colors. A white wardrobe in a nursery is responsible for a good mood, and also teaches the little owners of the room to maintain order;
It is better to equip the hallway with a sliding wardrobe, combined with open lower and upper shelves for storing shoes and hats, with mirrored doors. White cabinets are especially relevant for narrow hallways - with them the rooms will not seem completely tiny;
the living room, where everything should be conducive to a pleasant stay and ensure a good mood for the owners and guests, is a place where an open wardrobe in light shades with shelves and transparent doors will fit perfectly. It is best to fill shelves and open spaces with decorative trinkets (vases, figurines), flower arrangements, books, photographs.

Fantasy, a sense of style and photos of interiors will tell you which cabinet will be the best option for a particular room.

Manufacturing materials

When choosing a new cabinet in white or similar shades, there is no need to worry about the quality of the materials, since they are traditional for this type of furniture. This:

solid wood;
chipboard;
MDF;
Fiberboard;
Chipboard.

The desire to acquire a piece of furniture made of natural wood excludes pure white, but in this case you can choose light colors close to it - bleached oak, ash, birch, maple, hornbeam.

In other cases, the material of manufacture is not important, since for laminated facade cladding over particle boards, fiber boards, and MDF, white color is not a problem, as is the huge variety of its shades. A magnificent white glossy cabinet can decorate a chic living room, a formal office, or a children's room. White gloss is obtained in different ways. The surface can be made of:

PVC films;
acrylic plastic

Finishing a white kitchen with wood

Experts recommend finishing the room in which you plan to place a white kitchen set, taking into account some rules:

Adhere to the strict matte finish of the white ceiling.
Give preference to gray color. All shades of this color are suitable for walls, capable of emphasizing the freshness of the whiteness of the facades.
It is necessary to remember the principle of monochrome when choosing a different color scheme.
Do not change the rule of moderation and restraint, although according to designers, white color can be combined with any shades of different colors.
Choose flooring made of wood or materials that imitate wood. It will well support the interior in a light tone.
Remember what goes best with white:

Shape and style

It is up to the owners to decide which white wardrobe will be in the hallway, living room or office: some will want to emphasize the minimalist interior with strict forms and impressive height, others expect to add coziness by equipping the bedroom with a carved wardrobe on legs with an abundance of decorative elements. The shape and stylistic decision of a piece of furniture is determined by the taste of the home owners, as well as the functionality of the cabinet itself.

It is believed that white color is inherent in the Scandinavian style and minimalism - where monochrome looks most organic. The shape of the furniture has a minimum of bends and elaborate details, straight lines are preferred - the photo will help you decide on the most advantageous option.

In the styles of classicism, baroque, and shabby chic, a white cabinet, on the contrary, stands out for its decorative elements: carved doors and legs, moldings, glass and mirror inserts, and unusual handles. At the same time, the lines are not necessarily rounded or softened - the abundance of decor is balanced by the right angles of the base of the structure.

Light cabinets will easily fit into any ethnic style, except, perhaps, oriental. The restraint and weightlessness of the Japanese style will be emphasized by a low piece of furniture with a minimum of decor; in the African style, a tall and narrow white cabinet, on the contrary, can become the center of a compositional solution, and neither painting, nor mosaic inserts, nor vinyl stickers are prohibited. Design options for other styles can be seen in more detail in the photo.

How to fit into the interior

Harmonious and at the same time non-trivial interior design requires a thorough approach to the placement of furniture in light colors. To prevent the room from becoming like a hospital ward, you must follow simple rules for decorating the premises.

It is desirable that the closet is not the only white object. If this is not furniture of exactly the same shades, then the finishing materials of the walls and ceiling are darker than the color of the cabinet - they will help zone the room, highlighting the most interesting details;
You can dilute the whiteness with bright accents - inserts of a different color in the form of exquisite paintings on the bedroom closet, funny stickers on the surface of the children's doors, mirrored doors with sandblasting in the hallway (examples in the photo);
despite the fact that white has the effect of visually expanding space, it is undesirable to place a large cabinet in a narrow corridor or small hallway - in this case, even the color will not eliminate the feeling of lack of free space;
The more restrained the design of the cabinet, the more varied the decorative details of the rest of the interior can be, and the abundance of carved elements and unusual fittings, on the contrary, should be balanced by a minimum of decorations around.

Review of bedroom furniture manufacturers

Today, IKEA has a good demand for furniture not only for the bedroom, but also in general. This is a Swedish organization that is known both in Russia and other countries. IKEA always offers a wide range of different types of furniture of any material class, type, style and variety.

ODALIA and DREAMLAND are considered good Russian bed manufacturers. An excellent combination of price and quality, proven by many buyers. Here you can find many models of comfortable modern sleeping furniture that will suit your interior.

Bedroom sets produced by the Russian factory STOLPLIT are popular. Buyers note the good quality, functionality of the furniture and affordable prices.

High-quality and reliable bedroom furniture is produced by ANGSTREM. Its distinctive feature is its thoughtful design, durable fittings and careful approach to assembly. Therefore, furniture from this manufacturer can last for decades.

True, you have to pay for quality, so the prices for Angstrom bedroom sets and wardrobes are above average. But often customers are offered discounts, promotions and special offers, which allows them to save a lot.

Another large Russian furniture manufacturer is the DYATKOVO company. The advantage of the company is its own production of laminated chipboards, which are used for furniture production.

In reviews, buyers mainly note the good quality of the furniture itself, reliable fittings, and modern design. But there are complaints about customer service, delays in delivery, and the incompetent work of some managers.

However, this is one of the most popular and affordable factories, whose products are sold in most furniture stores in Russia.

You will receive German quality bedroom furniture from the manufacturer RUF-BETTEN, as well as HULSTA. The main difference between these companies and others is a wide range of models of modern wardrobes and beds. If you need white or beige furniture, they offer many variations of light shades.

If you are looking for a functional bed, then CIA International (an Italian organization) is your place. The company offers its customers a large assortment of beds with built-in tables and lighting fixtures. It looks quite new and modern.

Rules of care

Keeping light-colored cabinets clean is no more difficult than keeping furniture of other colors. Systematic cleaning of surfaces involves treating them with a damp cloth and then wiping with a dry one so that there are no streaks left. Dust on a white background is not always noticeable, but this does not mean that you can ignore the doors and side walls of the cabinet for a long time.

Yellow stains from grease accidentally splashed on the door of a kitchen cabinet require an immediate response. In this case, hot water will help, as well as the use of universal detergents. It is advisable to clean seized areas around handles and in corners as soon as they become noticeable.

Particular attention should be paid to glossy white surfaces. Despite the fact that manufacturers, taking care of the ease of use of furniture, impregnate the surfaces of cabinets and other furniture with special compounds that protect against various types of contamination, stains, streaks and stains still periodically appear on the gloss. It is strictly prohibited to treat such surfaces with products containing abrasive substances - the cabinet will literally be streaked with small scratches, which are very difficult to get rid of. Moreover, dirt and dust will quickly accumulate in the recesses that appear, further disfiguring the appearance of the furniture. To prevent the unpleasant consequences of too intensive cleaning, it is better to clean more often, but with soft, gentle means.

A white wardrobe is the ideal solution for fans of elegant style. The functionality of this piece of furniture, combined with its visual appeal, allows it to be used in any room in the apartment.
