Living room wardrobe: a variety of models, contents, color solutions and placement, including a sliding wardrobe.

Features of choosing a wardrobe for the hall

Since the living room is the largest room in the apartment and can combine a dining room, a second bedroom or an office, the choice of furniture should be approached especially carefully:

• When choosing this piece of furniture, first of all, consider its size and the parameters of the hall.
• It is desirable that the cabinets match the interior style not only in decor, but also in materials.
• In a small living room, you should not use large-sized models that steal space. It is better to put a narrow tall cabinet, compact mini-structures or hang hanging products here.
• For a small square-shaped hall, it is recommended to place wall cabinets higher, almost under the ceiling.

What kind of cabinet can be used?

The following types of structures are used to decorate the hall.

Modular

Thanks to the possibility of different arrangement of modules, this model has a more interesting look and is perfect for creating a non-standard design. A multi-level design of the wall unit will add special effectiveness, style and uniqueness to the hall.

Built-in

It is the most comfortable and optimal solution for small rooms in a Khrushchev-era building, since such a product is built into a niche and takes up a minimum of space. To save even more space, such wardrobes are sometimes equipped with sliding doors.

Wardrobe

A well-chosen wardrobe can organically complement the interior of even a small hall and provide a convenient and spacious enough place to store things for the whole family.

These designs are particularly practical and can have a wide variety of interiors, such as shelves, drawers, floor baskets and other fittings. Sliding wardrobes are also often used as partitions for zoning a room. In this case, the back wall of the structure is equipped with shelves for photo frames and books, or double-sided models are used.

Hinged

Is a classic and most familiar option, which can be equipped with shelves or compartments for clothes. Swing-door products often look more massive and take up a sufficient amount of space.

Showcase cabinet

It is a product with one or more walls made of glass, acrylic or transparent plastic. Display cabinets provide visual storage of items in the form of beautiful dishes, tea sets, porcelain or crystal decor, various souvenirs, figurines and other trinkets that you want to demonstrate and put on display for everyone to see.

Pencil case

Has a narrow rectangular shape, which makes it especially suitable for small living rooms. Such an elongated vertical single-door design harmonizes perfectly with other interior elements and allows you to achieve interesting compositional solutions.

Suspended

Suspended models can be mounted under the ceiling or located in the center of the wall. Higher wall placement does not interfere with free movement in space, and also provides installation under the cabinets of any other furniture.

Combined

Quite often, the cabinet is combined with a computer desk, so it is possible not only to organize a comfortable workplace in the living room, but also to make the design of the room more thoughtful and complete. Sometimes combined models can hide a small sofa or even a bed behind the doors.

Filling options

The main options for interior fittings.

Cupboard

A cupboard or sideboard is distinguished by the presence of glass doors, behind which festive dinnerware, porcelain, crystal and much more are displayed. This design is especially appropriate if the living room is combined with the dining room. Sometimes these products are combined with a bar with a special compartment for drinks.

Under the TV

Such a multifunctional furniture element is an alternative interior solution that not only has an original design and fits harmoniously into the design of the hall, but also simultaneously provides an area with a cabinet or chest of drawers for placing a TV device and storage space for things. Such a semi-open cabinet is mainly equipped with additional niches, shelves for related equipment, books, etc.

For clothes

Closed wardrobe structures are fully formed and are classified as cabinet furniture. The simplest option is considered to be a two-door wardrobe, one half of which is intended for horizontal storage of items on shelves, and the other – for vertical placement of things on a rod, using hangers.

Bookcases

Shelves or bookcases give the room a special atmosphere and form a more serious and slightly strict design.

Sizes and shapes of cabinets

For a spacious hall, they often prefer fairly roomy, long three-door or more designs along the entire wall. This model can replace a wardrobe and easily provide storage space for clothes, bedding, books, dishes and other various items.

Also, to maintain order in the room, tall cabinets are used, which perfectly accommodate a huge number of things necessary in everyday life. In small living rooms, corner models of a semicircular, trapezoidal or triangular shape will be appropriate. They make the most of the available space, add style to the interior and eliminate bulkiness.

Radius oval products with smooth lines and a convex or concave shape look very original. Such rounded cabinets can occupy a corner in the room or be located along the wall. They easily follow the curves of the room and are perfect for decorating a non-standard layout.

Color scheme

In a small room, you can mainly find cabinets in pastel shades, such as sand, gray, beige, milky or white. Models made in light colors do not visually overload or weigh down the space, giving it lightness and freedom.

To create an unusual, bright and extravagant design, choose designs in bright and saturated colors, for example, blue, yellow, green, blue, coral, lilac, pink, lemon or any other.

To give the interior a special harmony and clarity of lines, products with black or dark wenge facades are used. Such furniture looks truly luxurious and adds a certain conservatism and respectability to the interior.

Examples of arrangement in the hall

The most popular arrangement options:

• In the corner. By installing a cabinet with such a specific configuration, it is possible to rationally use the corner in the room and significantly save useful space in it, which is especially appropriate for small rooms.
• Along the entire wall. A solid structure located along the entire wall is quite a practical and simple way to store a large number of things.
• Around the doorway. This furniture set with a mezzanine practically merges with the doorway, has a very original look, excellent capacity and undoubtedly becomes the main interior decoration.
• Around the window. It is an indispensable solution that allows you to unload the room, give it comfort, coziness and order. In addition, cabinets around the window provide an opportunity to convert the space under the window opening into a desk, work table or cozy sofa.
• In a niche. This arrangement is used most often. Cabinets that fully match the depth and configuration of the niche fit perfectly into the recess and save free space in the room.

If there is a fireplace in the living room, cabinets can be installed on the wall adjacent to it. In this case, it is important that the furniture does not stand out too much from the general background, but only complements the concept of the interior.

Similar products are also often used for zoning the living room in a one-room apartment. A tall structure installed in the right place will help divide the space into several functional areas.

Photos of living rooms in different styles

For classical and neoclassical styles, the traditional solution is rectangular structures made of natural wood in subdued shades. Mirrors, various glass inserts, and carved and forged decor are used to decorate facades.

Minimalism involves the use of more strict and laconic models with blind doors with a single-color and smooth matte surface.

High-tech is characterized by products with facades covered with lacobel or doors decorated with chrome elements, mirrors, glass, plastic or even leather inserts.

For a cozy and bright Provence, cabinets in pastel colors, decorated with floral patterns, sandblasting and photo printing are especially suitable, and for a rustic country, products made of wood with an aging effect will be appropriate.

In a modern style, you can often find cabinets that are distinguished by a laconic structure, hidden fittings and doors with a smooth surface. Models with plastic and laminated glossy facades fully comply with the trends of this direction.
