Cabinets are the main elements of a furniture slide in the living room. They differ in shape, number of sashes and shelves, functional purpose, and can be mounted or floor. One wall-slide is equipped with both vertical and horizontal modules, each of which has a specific function.
What to consider when choosing a "slide" in the living room
When choosing furniture for the living room, decide on the functional purpose of the elements. Someone plans to use furniture as a bookcase or shelf, someone to store dishes, completing a set with a sideboard, and someone is interested in the possibility of organizing a mini-wardrobe. Minimalists will appreciate the opportunity to purchase a wall option with a TV stand and shelves for decor.
In addition to the functional purpose when choosing furniture, consider:
- room area;
- ceiling height in the room;
- interior features;
- stylistic design of the room;
- layout details.
In the choice of furniture, every detail is important, including: the size and shape of the room, the dimensions of the room and the number of non-standard layout elements. It will also be important to implement the budget plan designed to purchase a wall-slide for the living room.
Properly composed and assembled furniture will prove to be a functional replacement for a number of other items for the arrangement of the room, which in itself saves the living room's useful space.
Forms, features and details of the placement of slides in the interior
The choice of furniture complex depends on the specific interior solution, and depending on its features it can be direct or angular. When choosing an option to complement the interior with a furniture set, consider the area of the room, its layout, as well as the dimensions of the furniture itself. Follow the tips in the article to choose the right furniture.
Features of straight wall slides
Modern headsets are often located along the wall. Such options are suitable for almost any layout and are very popular. Prices for modern living room wall-slides vary from 5,000 to 40,000 thousand rubles, depending on the functionality, configuration and material for the manufacture of a particular model of furniture.
This arrangement option - in a straight line, is especially beneficial for placement in a rectangular or square room. Modern production capabilities allow you to place a wall-slide so that some of its elements are placed in the corner, and the furniture itself from linear transformed into corner. This means that the combination of modules in a certain sequence contributes to the formation of a complete and harmonious look, and violation of this order leads to a violation of the external integrity of the slide.
The standard version assumes the presence of several cabinets and shelves of open and closed type, bedside tables for a TV, which is the center of the headset.
An important rule in the placement of the components of a modern slide wall is that all elements of a linear complex are symmetrical. On both sides of the central unit with a stand there are higher elements (pencil cases, bookshelves), the rest - as they decrease to the edges. Thanks to this arrangement, the room increases visually, becoming higher, which is important for rooms with low ceilings.
Features of the corner walls
The corner space is filled when installing a compact mini-wall slide for the living room. Despite its dimensions, the furniture is spacious. Using such furniture, it is easy to adjust the shape of the room, and the headset will fit into a narrow and long room. In this case, the corner module is assigned under the wardrobe, beaten by other sections from the sides. No less interesting is the arrangement with a TV stand located in the corner, hanging shelves above it and side racks. A nice addition will be the price of the wall-slide, because you can choose the product option for your budget.
In the corner, you can put any module, not even the corner one, and place its elements so that they fill all 90 of the allocated area.
The option with corner walls of the slides suggests an asymmetric arrangement. It is not necessary to follow the rules, and you can give free rein to imagination. For example, arrange the furniture so that the largest of its sides completely occupies one wall, and the second only partially adjoins the corner. This is the best option for rooms with a small area and a window near the corner.
The use of the angular version of the slide is a rational option for arranging free space, the use of which in another context is not possible.
