  • Crockery and decorative fragile accessories are often stored in living rooms. It is for these purposes that it is necessary sideboard - a cabinet entirely equipped with glass or glass doors that provide open visual access to the contents.
  • Sideboard is often combined with buffet... The function of the latter is the storage of non-perishable dry products. The sideboard is a low closed wardrobe, it is located under the sideboard. The structure consists of two or four doors, sometimes it is equipped with drawers.
  • To store glasses, use special narrow cabinets... They are often combined with a bar - a compartment for storing alcoholic beverages. Sometimes "invisible" compartments are used, the shelves of which are built into the side panel of the cupboard for glasses. When closed, the bar is not visible; if necessary, it gracefully slides out from the side.
  • In the living room, you rarely find dressing room, but if it is, then it is most often a small room built into the wall. She hides behind sliding doors and is visually invisible at first glance. This is a convenient storage for clothes, especially if the doors are decorated with design techniques that further mask the structure. But such a layout is often only possible in elite apartments and private houses with large living rooms.
  • More compact storage space will be chest of drawers... It has a low height and drawers with different opening mechanisms. Sometimes it includes many pull-out compartments, and sometimes several large compartments with hinged doors. If you prefer to order a whole headset, then you can include all of the above models or choose a few that are especially necessary.

Varieties of doors

Cabinets with different door opening mechanisms are installed in the living room. Most of the products have swing doors. This is especially true for sideboards and sideboards. Swing doors are located in special niches on fasteners. Such a cabinet is opened by moving the door structure towards itself. Sliding doors are rarely found in living rooms. They are most often observed in structures built into the wall.

Hanging cabinets have a lifting opening mechanism. The door panel is lifted up by means of a special spring mechanism and fixed in this position.Many designs are equipped with drawers of various sizes. They are installed in the grooves of special fasteners built into the furniture frame.

Dimensions (edit)

It is very important to consider when buying a factor such as the size of the cabinet. Sizes vary depending on the purpose of the products. Small-sized products are shelves, hanging cabinets, dressers. Suspended structures are less than a meter in all respects, sometimes one side exceeds 1 m if the cabinet is rectangular. Chests of drawers are most often a meter high or a little more. Their width varies in a different range, sometimes they are narrow, and sometimes they are squat and wide.

Buffets are usually low and wide. Sideboards, however, most often reach more than one and a half meters in height. Bar cabinet parameters vary. Sometimes they are narrow and elongated, and sometimes they are low and wide.

Large cabinets come in a variety of sizes. It depends on the height of the ceilings and the parameters of the living room. A large cabinet can be the width of an entire wall and have a height of almost 4 meters, while its thickness sometimes reaches 90 cm. Such volumetric structures are suitable only for large rooms.

Materials (edit)

The purpose of the wardrobe also determines the material from which it is created. Another factor in the choice of raw materials is the style in which the interior is decorated in the living room.

  • One of the common materials is solid wood, from which sideboards, dressers and sideboards are often created. The advantage of such furniture is its luxurious and solid appearance. But such products are quite expensive, they are susceptible to moisture and temperature, therefore they are not suitable for all premises.
  • Cabinets are a more economical option. from wood shavings and fibers... They can be decorated in various forms, imitate natural wood or other material. Such panels are quite durable and easy to clean. But it is advisable to install them in dry rooms without a temperature drop, otherwise they may delaminate over time.
  • Plastic - a versatile material for modern interior styles. It is unpretentious to climate and moisture, inexpensive and looks no less original than its wooden counterparts. Plastic can have both matte and glossy texture and be equipped with various decorative elements.
  • Glass is part of many designs in the living room. Especially often it can be seen in bookcases or sideboards. It can be either transparent or matte. Glass doors look very elegant, especially when the glass is decorated with a pattern or colored inserts.

Often materials are combined, which makes the cabinets look much more original and interesting.

Colors and patterns

The choice of the shade of the product depends primarily on its texture. Various shades of light are characteristic of wooden models: ivory, milk oak, beech, teak. Among the dark tones, one can distinguish such as wenge, chestnut, walnut, maple. There are also colors with a red tint, which are also very relevant - cherry, mahogany, maple, mahogany.

Plastic products include both those tones that are inherent in wooden structures, and brighter ones - green, yellow, pink, burgundy. Often the plastic is black or white. It can also combine contrasting shades or similar colors. Photo printing, which is sometimes done on plastic panels, can be used as an exclusive detail. On the panels of some cabinet styles, you can often find drawings and ornaments that emphasize the features of the chosen direction.

Facade design

  • The facades of all designs of the headset have a special design. Open facade - a wardrobe without a door, so that the contents of the shelves are visible. This type is used for bookcases and shelves with accessories. In this case, the rear wall is often equipped with a mirror.Small horizontal cabinets or shelves can be made with lighting, which will give the whole headset a new look. In this case, door panels are complemented by original design solutions.
  • The closed facade can have transparent or glass doors. The doors of large wardrobes can be mirrored and expand the space of the room. With the help of special polishes and coatings, wood products are given an additional gloss. Designers offer interesting novelties of photo printing for plastic headsets - printing is located only on two or three items from the entire set, performing an accent role.

The facade is the part of the cabinet that first of all attracts attention, so it is important to think in advance about how to design it.

Accommodation options

  • For a headset, one wall is most often chosen, along which it is located. At the same time, it is important to maintain symmetry so that the entire headset looks harmonious. The most massive part of the window should not be installed.
  • If you prefer single large wardrobes, then they can be placed in the corner of the room or against the center of the wall. As a rule, a TV and various open shelves are mounted in such structures.
  • If you are classic, you can build a small cabinet into the wall adjacent to the fireplace. Remember that in this case, the product should not stand out and take on an accent role. It only complements the chosen concept.
  • Some people prefer a living room with two or more wardrobes. In this case, it is important to remember about symmetry. They are placed on opposite sides of the central element - a TV or chest of drawers. If the entrance to the living room is located in the middle of the wall, then the cabinets can be placed around the door.
  • Sometimes wardrobes are used for zonal division of rooms in an apartment. In the living room, a tall product located across the room can look very organic with the right color and material. The living room is divided into areas for rest and work, areas for receiving guests and areas for privacy.
