Modular furniture: racks for every taste

If you already have a lot of closets, but there are things,randomly scattered around the apartment, does not become less - it is worth buying a rack. Open storage systems allow you to bring order to the house, without cluttering up the space of the room too much. Moreover, the choice of such furniture is very wide. There are quite neutral models that suit almost any style, and original designer developments that can completely subjugate the interior.Furniture racksDoors protect objects from dust and, in addition, allow to disrupt the monotony of the shelves. Lur system from Nueva LineaThe rack, assembled from modular elements, is moreIt looks like a regular "wall". Composition based on the Victoria program from Odalia Ready-made shelving units There are separate, independent models on sale: for example, the Ivar shelving unit (IKEA, Sweden) and the Amari-50 interior divider (BoConcept, Denmark), as well as modular programs: for example, Alexandria from Shatura-mebel, Valencia from Europe, Elika-02 from Artis-XXI century (all in Russia). The materials used to make them are wood, chipboard or MDF. Finishing - varnish and paint or laminate and veneer. IKEA products will be the cheapest. Products from Russian factories will cost a little more. Thus, the aforementioned Ivar shelving unit, the dimensions of which (W x D x H) are 89 x 30 x 179 cm, costs 2,450 rubles, and furniture from the Elika-02 line of similar dimensions costs 5,940 rubles. Designer models If you are ready for experiments, these models are for you. Designers (mainly from Italian factories) make shelving units similar to columns (Orbit by Bonaldo), origami figures (Festival by Cattelan Italia), tropical plants (Akto by Oasis). Experiments are also conducted with materials. In addition to wood, chipboard and MDF, metal, thermoplastics and glass are used. It is obvious that whether you like it or not, such unusual furniture, which also has a bright accent color, will have to be made a fundamental element of the decor. How necessary this is up to you to decide. By the way, designer shelving units are estimated at 55 thousand rubles and more. The amount is quite large, and it is probably much more logical and rational to use it differently. For example, to buy a simpler, but larger shelving unit.The program can include non-load-bearing vertical partitions, which also provide for a permutation. The People program from Pianca (Italy)The dimensions of the finished shelves can be very different. Racking Festival from Cattelan ItaliaThe cabinet furniture pieces are easy to assemblethe desired composition. Shelves from the Melody collection by Dyatkovo Modular systems A shelving unit can also be assembled from open hanging shelves or modules, although in this case you will have to first make sure of the load-bearing capacity of the wall. Using a certain set of parts, you can independently or under the guidance of a specialist from a furniture store model the shelving unit you need from a certain number of modules offered by the manufacturer. Subsequently, the layout of the components can change, the number of modules can increase or, conversely, decrease. During the discussion of the order, the buyer is free to vary not only the number of parts and their "style" (the presence of hinged or sliding doors and drawers), but also the finish. However, the choice of design options will not be too wide. For example, for modules from the Oktava series (Dyatkovo, Russia), only two finishing options are provided - maple and cherry, for the Victoria line shelves (Odalia, Russia) - light oak and dark walnut, for the NOVAcia program (Nova, Russia) - similarly. But there is always the opportunity to "play" with the material and color of the doors. They are made of veneered chipboard, as well as transparent, matte or colored tempered glass.If the rack is the main subject of the situation, it is better to add boxes and doors. A composition based on the Victoria program from OdaliaIn the nurseries and living rooms, the rack can be used as a non-load-bearing partition wall. Model from Oktava collection from DyatkovoFor greater stability, a partition rackcan be fixed with the help of vertical racks attached to the ceiling. Model "Norrebu" from IKEAAnother option, if the series does not consist of cabinet modules, but of vertical guides and various shelves and drawers. Swing or sliding doors are excluded in this case. The necessary elements are simply "strung" in random order on the racks, like beads on a thread. A similar series is "Enga" (IKEA). The distance between the vertical guides determines the width of the selected components, and the height of the rack depends on the height of the racks. The racks themselves can be attached either to the floor and wall, or to the floor and ceiling. In the first case, you can easily place the rack not only along the wall, but also perpendicularly, in the second - the only possible way to place the composition is along the perimeter of the room.Furniture, assembled from the elements of the model program, can include even a small cabinet. Modular composition NOVAcia from NovaThe rack, made to order, optimally takes into account the layout features. Furniture, built on the basis of Studio 38 and Loft systems from Mr.DoorsShelves, identical in design, butdesigned using materials of different colors and finishes, are completely different. Shelving system based on the Purion program from HülstaCustom-made shelvingThe back wall of the shelving does not bear a structural load, so it can be abandoned, especially if the furniture is also planned to be used as a partition. A modular design, despite all the convenience of design, is not always able to "fit" into the space allocated for it. After all, the dimensions of the elements are set by the manufacturer once and for all. And if, for example, you need a wall-to-wall shelving, then products suitable for the function may simply not fit in width. Or a rarer, but therefore more complex case: a shelving unit of variable height is required for an attic or for installation under the stairs. In such situations, you will have to make a shelving unit according to an individual project. To do this, you can contact a company that manufactures built-in furniture, or use an individual program of companies that offer ready-made shelving units. For example, if you need aluminum racks, you will find them in the Loft (Mr.Doors) and Liberty (Stanley) programs. However, the factories that produce cabinet furniture also have lines that offer almost the same freedom of choice: Basic 3D or Basic XT from BoConcept; Purion from Hülsta and Partout from Gwinner (Germany); Lur from Nueva Linea (Spain). Of course, the catalogs of these companies already have ready-made models built on the basis of the above-mentioned programs. But this is only a demonstration of the possibilities. If you implement all the proposals, then racks of the same design, decorated with different materials in the finishing of facades and partitions, will turn out to be completely different from each other. However, it is, alas, impossible to even roughly estimate the cost of such an exclusive rack without having a finished drawing. Too much depends on the selected elements and materials.Orient in the numerous books will allow built-in lamps or lamps-clothespins.

What room do you need a rack for?

Living roomMost often in the living room there is a shelving unitis used as an alternative to the traditional "wall". In this case, it is best to choose shelves of different widths, located at different heights. This will make it easier to systematize miscellaneous things. To prevent the rack from looking too boring, we recommend partially or completely closing some of the shelves with hinged or sliding doors of a contrasting color. If you need an additional storage system in a spacious living room, the rack can be placed perpendicular to the wall, using it as a partition separating functional areas - for example, a soft group and a dining room. Children's This room accommodates three functional areas at once, but it is extremely difficult to place all the necessary furnishings on an area of 8-12 sq. m. Therefore, the rack can be used not only for storing toys, books, disks, but also as a partition. And why not turn it into a headboard? If the child is small, then preference should be given to bright colors and natural materials: wood, veneered or laminated chipboard. Metal and glass are more suitable for a teenager's room. StudyThe area of the study is usually small. In addition, it is often combined with a library. So the only possible way to place shelves up to the ceiling is along the walls. In this case, shelf lighting will not be superfluous. You can think about it at the stage of ordering the shelf, or you can save money and use small clip-on lamps. Miniature stepladders will help to get books. They can also be used as additional chairs. Useful information from WDay.ruRack Granemo, IKEA, 9 990 r.Where to buy a rack:
