Modular Living Room Furniture
Modeling the modules Project the living room environmentcan be different. For example, on paper. Let's try, keeping the scale, arrange the components in the required sequence. Yes, not very convenient. That's why many manufacturers offer direct on their site to do 3D-modeling and design the necessary living room. This will save time and the buyer, and salon managers. In former times, as the only possible option for the living room environment, we were offered a "wall". Usually it consisted of two cabinets (dress and book), slides for crystal or porcelain and a bar. The urgency of the latter was more than doubtful, but its presence, like, incidentally, the presence of the "wall" itself, allowed the owner to feel himself a fully held person. The wardrobe was also an indispensable component of the kit, but, unfortunately, it was too small. Unsuccessful layout of typical apartments, limited space in the hallways, the lack of even the idea of built-in closets or cloakrooms forced to install massive storage tanks for clothing in almost all living rooms. The bookcase was too small. Home libraries were regularly fed by subscription collections of works, and seemed initially sufficient shelves were too tight. Books and souvenirs became more and more, and new and new regiments appeared on the walls of the corridor and hallway. In other words, from which point of view, the "wall" lacked functionality. And she had no propensity for transformation. Furniture could not grow and develop as things were added. Even rearrange it was difficult: the "wall" lacked space only at the longest wall. Probably, it is because of this irrationality that most manufacturers today refused to produce this product. And now the market offers us a choice of two types of furnishings for living rooms: finished, or modular furniture, and furniture on an individual project.
The modular principle
It is best to consider modular furniture asThe designer, allowing to model an arrangement of a drawing room depending on desires of the customer. Any production series includes a factory-defined set of module elements. Their number is measured in tens. It can be cabinets, cabinets, chests of drawers, mirrors, pencil cases, wardrobes, consoles, wall panels, etc. Of course, within the same collection all modules are designed in the same style and are made of the same materials. The difference is only in the functional purpose and dimensions of the products.
If we talk about materials, then Russian, andforeign manufacturers for the fabrication of a frame usually use a laminated chipboard with a thickness of 18-22 mm. The edges of the frame are covered with a PVC edge in the color of the decor. Also, the material of the back wall is selected in the color of the finish. More often it is fiberboard, less often - MDF. To the selection of materials for the manufacture and finishing of facades (doors) are suitable with greater imagination. If the preference is given to the matted or colored tempered glass, it can be glued to the base of the chipboard (Cubo from Kostroma Mebel, Russia), and it is enclosed in aluminum or steel frames (walls from MaxInterior, Victoria from Odalia, Valencia from " Europe ", Russia). Almost equally, there are such non-trivial decorations as a leather-covered skin or leatherette skin cladding (Zoom from Dolce Vita, SD-5 from Ufamebel, Russia), and the usual high gloss-glossy paint applied to MDF (Harmony from " Zarechye, Russia, Volani from BoConcept, Denmark, Book from Lago, Italy, Biona from Nueva Linea, Spain). We start TV shows Strangely, but TVs still remain neglected by manufacturers. Modules designed specifically for TV, very little. However, is there any sense in their release? Indeed, due to the fact that modern LCD and plasma monitors are much thinner than their lamp "colleagues", there is room for them not only on a massive pedestal, but also on a narrow shelf. The combination of different types of decor is not forbidden, the main thing is that the "components" are combined with each other. Especially because the abundance of options already in itself involves creative experiments. For example, the body of the already mentioned furniture from the Cubo collection is decorated with "Wenge", "Teak" or "Oak file-line" coating, and the facade elements are made of white, orange, black, green or blue tempered glass. Why not play with the color of the doors? Even wider range of finishes in the program Volani - up to nine combinations (depending on the type of module). By the way, in order not to embarrass the buyer with such a variety, the manufacturer - the company BoConcept - offers ready-made color combinations. At the same time, the factory "Zarechie" does not strive to surprise with the variety of colors. Specialists of the company decided to pay special attention to the "profile" of the facades and combined straight and curved doors in the living room compositions. By the way, to think that the modular construction principle is suitable only for living rooms, sustained in a modern style, it would be a mistake. In fact, absolutely the same method is successfully used in the design of the classical situation ("Florence" from "Europe", Solo from Odalia, "Elika 02" from "Artis 21 Century", Russia). Simply in this case, use more traditional materials for finishing the frame and facades (veneer, transparent or frosted glass). There are also some differences in the nomenclature and appearance of the modules. However, this is understandable by the requirements of the classical style. Finally, in the list of products, most likely, there will be a variety of hanging cabinets and light consoles, but there will be traditional buffets, massive pedestals and corner elements.
When buying a modular living room customer workcan be constructed according to three schemes. The first is to choose one of the module layouts proposed by the manufacturer. This is the simplest option, but does not give confidence that all the wishes and needs of the buyer will be taken into account. The second scheme - from the very beginning to operate a complete set of products and independently or with the help of the designer to design an original, nothing like a living room. This method is more complicated, but in the selected modules all books, disks, utensils and equipment will be accurately placed. The third scheme is to buy modules as needed, replacing those that have ceased to be relevant, or simply complementing the furnishings. This method can be regarded as a regular permutation. Tired of the usual arrangement of things? No problems. We bought one or two modules, re-arranged the existing ones, and here we have a completely new living room.
