Varieties of cabinet furniture according to manufacturing technology and design

Certain types of furniture can be classified by manufacturing technology. Constructions can be shielded. They are based on wood-replacement panels and various boards: plank, hollow, glued. The cost of the products is relatively low. Framed furniture consists of a frame and inexpensive panels - the most common design option.

Now let's talk about the design of products: they are modular, built-in and transformable.

Modular

Modular furniture consists of sections that represent a kind of ensemble. It can be a wall cabinet, racks, dressers, corner sections, tables and even bar counter... The main thing is that all items are united by a single idea and style.

Built-in

As the name suggests, the integration of furniture into niches allows us to call it built-in. This is a useful solution for saving space, but changing the interior will already be problematic.

About materials of manufacture

The most common materials for furniture production are Fiberboard, Chipboard and MDF... In addition, there can be inserts and finishes made of plastic, metals, polymers and glass.

Chipboard is a particle board impregnated with formaldehyde resin. Not the most environmentally friendly option, but the most affordable.

Due to the absence of a binder resin, MDF is better than chipboard and more environmentally friendly. The production technology allows for carved facades. It turns out beautiful products at a relatively low cost.

Fiberboard is a wet compressed wood dust. The material is quite thin and not particularly durable, but it regularly serves to create walls and partitions between drawers and shelves.

Furniture of different styles

Living room style, chosen by its owners, will also indicate how suitable furniture should look.

Classics presupposes grace and unassuming luxury, because furniture can contain carved elements, gilding, and upholstered furniture has the right to look with a claim to some pretentiousness.

Color selection

Of course on color selection the stylistic orientation of the living room will affect, but one cannot ignore your preferences and expectations. Also take into account the size of the room, its natural illumination.

Small rooms are best decorated with light colors, while spacious rooms benefit from the inclusion of dark tones.

How to choose cabinet furniture for a living room

The choice of cabinet furniture can be said rather briefly. In the living room, you need to consider that storage places can look stylish and original. For this purpose, not only are headsets from cabinets, dressers and hanging shelves, but also places in poufs, sofas, tables. Therefore, when choosing furniture for ourselves, we take into account its functionality for each family member.

The number of residents plays a role - you need to know how many seats should be on the sofa and on the chairs. If we are talking about a small room, preference should be given to transparent elements made of plastic, mirrors and glass. For the same purpose, they do not buy cabinets, but racks.

Low pieces of furniture free up space on a visual level, just like sofas without armrests. Furniture with legs gives the room an airy impression.

Otherwise, the choice is influenced by the style and design of the furniture.
