To select your individual option, you should first of all decide what you will place in your new wall. Modern wall-slides, installed in the living room, are not burdened with certain dogmas. The design primarily takes into account its functionality, laconic external design. Everything else is up to you. In this article, we will consider what parameters should be used to choose this type of furniture.
Types of slide walls: how not to make a mistake when choosing?
When choosing a modern slide for the living room, give preference to the model that can satisfy not only your aesthetic needs. Also an important point is the strength of the model and its features during assembly. Slides are linear, angular, and there are also modular options.
Reliable landline
A stationary slide for the living room is suitable when there is room for a bulky cabinet element. And also for the living room, which has a flat floor. The fact is that this type of slide has a fastened body similar to the walls from the eighties of the last century. Also, before buying this slide, meticulously measure the place where your new furniture is supposed to be placed. In the case of incorrect measurements, you will not be able to quickly "fit" this furniture to the room. Choose cabinet sizes so that your stylish living room is not cluttered with a slide due to exorbitantpurchase amount. You should try to avoid the development of another option - your slide is not visible in the huge living room. So we measure and measure again.
Modules
Modular furniture is a wall-slide in the living room in a modern style. Modules have shelves, cabinets and wall cabinets. These elements can be easily moved and placed according to your needs or the designer's idea. These living room slides can have blocks of the same color or the same design. Any size can be selected. It is allowed to place shelves and cabinets as you like. The depth of cabinets and shelves can be adjusted to suit your needs. In the case of modular furniture, it is not important that it be on the same level. Nothing will disturb the overall aesthetic appearance of the room if a slide is installed in the living room in a modern style from separate elements. It is impossible to overload a room with module elements if the room has sufficient area.
Built-in slide
This type of furniture is a group of objects united by several common elements, upper and lower parts. The main feature of the built-in slide is the absence of decorative external details. Often, instead of the side and top panels of furniture, this function is performed by the floor, ceiling and walls. For the effect of a self-located slide, external false panels are created. Such a slide is suitable for the living room, the style of which is closer to the classics. Such furniture can easily ennoble openings and all kinds of niches. Also, with some features of walls and floors, built-in options will savesituation. One big disadvantage that this type of slide has is its cost. Such furniture is produced only for individual orders, and therefore it is not cheap.
Corner models
Slides in the living room in a modern style (photo above) can also have an angular design. The most suitable option for furnishing small spaces. Despite the external rather compact appearance, such a slide is distinguished by capacious pedestals and blocks. In rooms whose length is greater than the width, the placement of such a slide will help balance this shortcoming. The TV stand is placed in the corner, shelves are already hung on the sides of it and racks are placed. A wardrobe can fit well in the corner area - then the television part of the slide will be on one of the sides. The closet in the corner is a great welcome. It is much more spacious than its standard counterparts, and is able to hide a lot of clothes and other necessary things in its depths. Corner models are often also made to order. But even if you managed to purchase this type of slide, then most likely you will need the help of a professional so that the installation goes right and the cabinet fits organically into the corner area of your living room. When purchasing such furniture, you must have the dimensions of your corner on hand.
Mini slide
Modern wall-slides in the living room (photo above) of compact size save small rooms from being cluttered with cabinets, and at the same time organically place some things that need storage. Its height is notreaches the ceiling, as is usually the case with standard-type full-sized slides. In fairly spacious rooms with small niches, it is also possible to install a mini-wall. Most often, such sets consist of one or two cabinets offered for equipment, a tall narrow cabinet or chest of drawers, and several shelves above the place where the TV is supposed to be installed. It is permissible for shelves and cabinets to have both an open design for storing decorative items and books, and a closed one, which allows you to hide what is on the shelves from prying eyes. Such a mini-slide will help you, if necessary, create a separate zone in a room with certain functions. Alternatively, it could be a place for family watching movies and shows.
Material for the production of slide walls
Slides for the living room (photo above) are most often made from materials with a wood component - chipboard and MDF boards. A more budget option, of course, would be chipboard material. The slab itself is made from sawdust, well compressed and fixed with not very environmentally friendly adhesives. Such glue contains substances released during the operation of furniture that are harmful to human he alth. During processing, the type of such a plate breaks easily, which does not contribute to the production of a quality product from it.
Advantages of MDF board
MDF boards are a more modern material that does not cause such harm to the he alth of people who will be in the room with the headset. Although they are also compressed fromsawdust, due to more modern production technologies, structures of any configuration are easily produced from these plates. Durability and external qualities are good excuses for the price of this material. A slide made of MDF board costs a little more than one made of chipboard. If you apply a wood veneer coating to an MDF board, then in appearance it will be quite a decent design, almost indistinguishable from wood furniture.
Slide color design
Color directions for the design of the slide for the living room (photo above) are presented in most cases in four options:
- One-color design. This is when the elements of the slide have one color, but it is possible to add variations of shades derived from this color. For example, gray, diluted with all shades of its color, or brown. For a more advantageous external design, it is permissible to dilute the main shade with black or white. You need to be careful with black - it is able to "eat" all the space in the room. If the living room is small and located on the north or west side, black will most likely have to be abandoned.
- Harmonious type. Elements of a shade suitable for the color palette are added to the main color.
- Contrasting color scheme. Completely different colors but look good together. It can be pink and gray, blue and yellow.
- Classic. The most popular for a large number of people will be the classic color direction. Furniture of such colors creates a cozy atmosphere for relaxation. Basicare colors that repeat the color of wood: cherry, beech and oak.
Living room slide decoration
You can make your slide wall stand out by applying some design elements suitable for this type of furniture. On sale there are models decorated with photo printing located on the laminated surfaces of the facade. You can also purchase slides, the mirror elements of which are engraved, giving elegance to the whole design. Modern style is emphasized by glass inserts made of tinted glass. Such decorative elements can be made both from colored glass and from ordinary white glass. Some slides of modern design will look good with the presence of various carved fittings with a thin golden coating. If your living room belongs to the high-tech style, then chrome details, as well as elements of silver shades, will be relevant in this case. Lighting, located around the perimeter of the body or inside some niches and cabinets, will be a win-win option in a modern slide design. External decor elements can also include items from your personal collection that you place on the open or glazed shelves of the headset. However, remember the measure in everything. Decoration should be combined with the overall design of the room.
The color of the slide and its perception
Let's study how people perceive the colors of furniture in the house.
Most often, furniture, including slides for the hall, is made in a brown color palette. Shades at the same time are found from almost black to light beige.
- Wantevoke a sense of stability, comfort and confidence in your family? Then brown is what you need at the moment. This truly universal color is able to harmoniously fit into any interior. It makes spacious rooms more comfortable. It looks good in a duet with beige, white and in some cases quite good with blue and green elements.
- Black. The emphasis on the black details of the slide can bring harmony to the interior. In the event that the walls have a very light shade, such a slide will be the central element that completes the entire color composition. But beware of the predominance of black in the design of the room and the model of your slide. A large amount of this color can easily increase anxiety. Consider one more important detail - black gloss looks much lighter than matte models.
- The color to create a backdrop for brighter furniture arrangements in your living room is gray. Shades from very dark to pearl gray look harmonious, highlighting cherry, pink, purple and other bright elements of the slide.
- A white slide can add visual space and air to a room. A truly versatile color with many warm and cool hues that can go great with all the colors of the rainbow. Now white furniture is gaining popularity among buyers.
Beige. Another color as versatile as white, and also works well in combination with any of the bright shades. Beige, unlike white,I like the fact that it does not create a feeling of "sterility" in the room. Its warm shades, on the contrary, add lightness without depriving it of comfort. Beige is easier to perceive than even the lightest of browns. The combination of a beige slide with brown elements is both cosiness, lightness and a feeling of comfort.
When choosing a color scheme for your living room slide, remember also that different surfaces of the furniture set, even if they are the same color, look completely different.
