Modern living room furniture should not look at all as if it was teleported from a distant future. Of course, hi-tech is now very popular, but still the concept of fashionable furniture for the living room includes much more styles, designs and characters. The most important thing in choosing a headset is its reliability, practicality and the opportunity to harmonize with other interior items.
Modern living room furniture – what styles are there
Presentation of modern furniture for the hall
All the furniture lies in two types: classical and modern. Nowadays, it is quite difficult to meet one direction in its purest form. But still, the most important points can be distinguished in each style.
Classical furniture is most suitable for spacious apartments with high ceilings. Basically, such sets consist of windows, chests of drawers, racks, bars and cabinets. Moreover, many objects can be intended for angular location, because the continuous cabinet row looks very presentable. The destiny of classics is shades of natural wood, carving, inlay, intarsia. Moreover, the headset itself may well be made of MDF and chipboard.
High-tech is more suitable for young people, as well as apartments that are planned to be converted under a spacious studio. High -tech is the brilliance of chrome metal, an original selection of colors of plastic and glass furniture facades, almost a complete absence of decor, the possibility of transforming and changing the location of the location. Strict geometric forms of furniture in a futuristic style are unlikely to create a cozy atmosphere in the living room. Such headsets are distinguished by extraordinary functionality, high quality and, accordingly, considerable cost.
If you add decor to strict hi-tech, apply natural textures for furniture elements and distort the geometry a little, then we will get no less functional, but much more “home” headser headset. A collection with facades that combine a “high shine” and a tree, glazed windows, ultramoded backlight and cunning accessories, will be the most important decoration of any living room.
Recently, ethnic style has become very popular. This is the collective name of many directions: Japanese, Chinese, Moroccan, Scandinavian, English, American, Mediterranean, etc. D. A characteristic feature of ethnicos is the use of natural materials and decor inherent in a particular culture.
If you follow all the rules of the organization of the interior, then it will definitely “fly into a penny”, because in addition to furniture in the living room there is also textiles, accessories and nuances of the finish. You definitely can’t do without a professional designer. Therefore, most often the average living room looks like a mixture of several directions, and this “team team” is called eclecticism.
Modern furniture for the hall – pros and cons of collections on order
Original ideas of the interior
You can often hear the statement that stylish furniture for the living room can only be made to order. And this has its own truth. Not everyone can boast of spacious rooms. Therefore, the acquisition of a standard headset can nullify all attempts to somehow optimize the space: there will be a place where to store things, but the living room will look either overloaded or “kutsu”.
Just for such layouts, it will be the most optimal solution to create an individual project. You yourself can take part in it: express your wishes about the appearance, functionality and design, and also see how the room will look in the future.
Under order you can make furniture of any depth and height (at least under the ceiling). And with a high degree of probability you will not find such a headset anywhere else, which means you will have a unique interior.
Thus, you will have the opportunity to create a spacious storage system and beautiful design of the living room.
Another advantage of custom -made furniture is that it is not kept in a warehouse, where it could be subjected to adverse exposure to dust and moisture. All this greatly affects not only the appearance, but also the durability.
But, as you know, you need to pay for exclusivity, and therefore the biggest drawback of individual projects is their cost. Be prepared for the fact that you will have to pay a rather tidy amount. And in the case of a change of place of residence, you are unlikely to be able to take the headset with you, because it was made to certain parameters, which are most likely not in a new place.
And the last: you cannot quickly update the living room. For the manufacture of a headset, each manufacturer has certain terms that can vary greatly.
Modern modular furniture for the living room is the best option?
In the catalogs of almost all manufacturing factories there are many models of furniture for the living room – modern classics, minimalism, hi -tech, country … Therefore, one of the most important advantages of corps furniture is visibility. The buyer, having visited the page with the selected model, sees what it is and whether it approaches the interior of his hall.
Little nuance: color scheme of the headset may differ from the one you saw in the photo. The reason can be both on the side of the manufacturer and due to the color rendering features of your monitor.
Also modular furniture is valued for its functionality. After all, collections are offered for sale not a single set, but by individual blocks. As a rule, there can be several cabinets, cabinets, windows, shelves and chests of drawers in the catalog. If this is a full -fledged modular system, then the factory will definitely present a few sizes of beds, coffee table, toilet table, bedside tables. And this is very convenient, because you can at the same time create the interior of the bedroom, united with the living room with a common style. Moreover, the rooms can be of any area and configuration, because you can buy as many items at any right time.
And modular furniture will really like people who do not tolerate monotony and are trying to somehow update their house all the time. The fact is that the hull of the headset can be very easy to change, replace and supplement the modules as you want. Moreover, with the help of individual objects, you can make effective zoning of the living room in the event that this provides for the desired functionality of the room.
The disadvantage of modern modular living rooms can be called their relative bulky. For a very small room, such furniture is unlikely to fit. It is also worth noting that the model you like may well already have any of your friends. Of course, this is not fatal, but extremely scrupulous customers may not like it.
It is not surprising that the new one is a well -forgotten old
And what about the wall? Really sunk into oblivion? After all, once in the open spaces of the former union, this piece of furniture was almost the only one that could be “getting”. But our man was so goodwill so far that it is still very difficult to get rid of the “allergies” to the walls – the stereotypes are easy to create, but it is not easy to get rid of them. So, the modern wall can become a real decoration of the living room, and and far from worst than a modular system or furniture to order.
The only minus of the headset is that it is offered for sale entirely. However, now you can very quickly find a wall of the desired design and dimensions. In catalogs of factories and dealers, it is full of collections with a length of 2 to 5 m. A small model can be defined in a small hall as a media center, leaving a lot of free space for sofas and armchairs. Well, a large one is suitable in the living room of standard sizes, especially if the room is supposed to be stored a large number of things.
As a rule, finished walls are much cheaper than modular systems and individual projects of the same volume and functionality.
Upholstered furniture – we relax in the living room with comfort
Comfortable sofa and chairs are indispensable components of comfort in any room. If the living room is quite spacious, then you can put in the room a large corner and a couple of deep armchairs, which, together with the coffee table, will create a recreation area. Otherwise, pay attention to transforming models. By the way, now there are sofas that can be disassembled literally in parts for square or rectangular sections. They move on rollers, so each person in the living room can provide a comfortable pastime.
The main indicator of upholstered furniture is the upholstery on which the life of the product depends.
This is durable, durable and hypoallergenic material. Has antistatic properties and does not misery. However, if you “put” the stain on the upholstery, it will be quite difficult to get out.
Cotton
Also a good option for environmental indicators. But over time, the color will fade, and the material itself will become thinner. In principle, the headset will have to “change” about once every 1.5 years. However, cotton is much cheaper than flax, so the costs will not be so significant. In addition, you will have a great opportunity to apply a variety using updates to the interior.
Tapestry
Thanks to the use of silk and woolen threads, such a coating practically does not burn out or abrasion, and in the storyline it can be compared with the most real works of art. But tapestry to a greater extent than linen, whimsical in terms of spots, and besides, enough. If you liked just such an upholstery, it is better to choose cloth patterns and colors so that randomly spilled coffee or wine hopelessly does not spoil the appearance of the sofa or chair.
Shenill
One of the most popular materials today. Consists of artificial and natural fibers. Due to the high technology of the Senill is often compared with the tapestry.
Jacquard
Hard, fairly dense fabric, which is traditionally used for upholstery of expensive furniture. Consists of cotton and synthetics, and popularly called artificial silk. The advantages of Jacquard are in a beautiful appearance, resistance to abrasion, the effects of sunlight and in a special arrangement of the loops, so the “arrow” will never appear on the fabric. But the jacquard is painted with contact with wet migrating materials. And in general, with such upholstery, you need to handle it very carefully.
Velur and Flok
They look just amazing and just perfectly attract all kinds of garbage. Both materials are not very racks for abrasion.
Book
Very popular fabric, soft and warm to the touch. Perfectly cleaned with dust vacuum cleaner. The material can be washed.
Genuine and artificial leather
It is considered an elite upholstery, the presentable appearance of which invariably makes an impression on others. Today, artificial material is almost impossible to distinguish from natural. The indicator of low -quality coating is “shaving”, which over time appears on the seams, assemblies and edges. Also, the skin is not the most comfortable material: it is cold to sit on it in winter, and in the summer it is hot. Therefore, the house must maintain an optimal microclimate, which is not at all difficult today.
What furniture to choose – imported or domestic?
In our market there is an immense number of furniture manufacturers. Naturally, ahead of the entire planet – Italian companies. Their products are characterized by quality, original design, but also high cost. However, it is Italian furniture that is an indicator of high social status. In incredibly more gentle prices offer Polish brands and other countries of Eastern Europe.
But if you pay attention to the brands of factories of the countries of the post -Soviet space, then an interesting trend begins to emerge. Manufacturers manage to offer customers very beautiful and functional modern collections at a completely similar price. And at the same time, the quality of the furniture can not be called bad. How is it possible? Yes, very simple:
For production, modern raw materials and equipment are used, which can save on manual work.
Decent factories have a wide network of branches, which reduces the cost of delivery and storage of goods in warehouses.
Serial production by definition will be cheaper than exclusive.
The most important nuance, because of which disputes still arise is the environmental purity of materials. But, in fact, you just need to ask the seller to provide a certificate of environmental conformity (by the way, this applies to foreign manufacturers). Now the norms for the level of emission of formaldehyde compounds are quite strict, and if the company refuses to present “paper” under any pretext, then draw the appropriate conclusions.
So, by what principle to select furniture for the living room? If you do not take into account quality and cost, then two parameters remain: design and functionality. The first can play a decisive role if the hall is quite spacious. Well, the second will prevail if the room is miniature.
Choose the situation in accordance with your wishes, and let your home always be beautiful and cozy!
