Modular hallway furniture

Hallways in most modern houses are not very large. In this case, modular furniture systems will be a convenient option for creating a comfortable, functional and aesthetic space. They allow you to create an optimal combination of modules, change them depending on individual needs.

The entrance hall forms the first impression of the home and its inhabitants. If it is a gloomy cluttered room, the impression will be appropriate. The design of the hallway needs to be given as much attention as any other room. It is important to think over every detail of the furnishings, take into account the lighting, furniture shades and its functionality.

Artificial light sources in this case cannot reproduce daylight, therefore it is extremely important that furniture does not hide the light of the room. It should be harmonious, appropriate and appropriate to the parameters of the room. If there is very little light, light colors of furniture are preferable, if the lighting is sufficient, the shades of furniture can be more saturated and bright.

Furniture in the hallway is a must. It is important to organize the space correctly, without feeling chaotic. Everything should be functional. Options with glass or mirror are suitable, due to which you can create the illusion of spaciousness. By means of modular furniture, you can zone the room, which introduces a clear organization and visually plays up the limited space.

The hallway is a special area, so the furniture should be special. Dust and dirt accumulate in this room, especially at the doorstep. If the furniture is located in this area, it is preferable to choose a model in such a way that the lower part of the modules is darker.

The raw materials for modular furniture are varied and depend on the model. Internal partitions and frame are usually made of laminated chipboard. This is the cheapest material, so this furniture is inexpensive. Chipboard has a wide color palette, which creates a lot of room for choice. MDF is used less often for the frame: if unusual shapes are required, since this material is easy to process.

Facades can be made from:

• wood;
• MDF;
• metal;
• plastic;
• glass.

Wood is the most expensive material. Usually alder, pine, oak, acacia, beech, cherry and wenge are used in furniture production. The color range includes tones from light to dark brown with a reddish or reddish tint. Such material is often used in the hallway, but it is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, and is extremely picky about care. Sometimes veneer is used in the decoration of facades, that is, a thinner layer of wood. It is more accessible than wood and does not differ from solid wood in appearance.

MDF is the most popular and democratic material... It is covered with enamel or foil. The film provides more possibilities for choosing colors due to its rich palette, which includes metallic shades of solid colors, glitter texture, imitation of stone, wood, leather. There may be smooth options and with a pronounced texture.

The modular furniture design system is the perfect modern hallway solution. Its features include:

• Consistency. Each module can be used as a separate element, but together they allow you to create an interior in a single style.
• Convenience of choice. The furniture is made of the same material with the same texture.
• Variability of modules. You can make your own furniture from individual elements without overpaying for what is not needed.
• Ease of assembly. Individual items are usually delivered assembled or you can assemble them yourself.
• Interchangeability. You can replace one piece of furniture with another from the same range.

Modular furniture is a special type of cabinet furniture, consisting of separate elements and assembled into a single structure in different versions. By configuration, it can be:

• straight (installed along the wall);
• corner (installed in the corner).

For maximum use of the area, this furniture can participate in the zoning of the room. The main condition for placing modular furniture for both types is flat walls and a floor. The corners must be right. If the angle used when installing the furniture is sharp, it simply will not fall into place. If the angle is obtuse, there will be gaps between the wall and the frame.

The depth of the modular sections can be different. The standard is 60 cm. If the hallway is narrow, it makes sense to purchase a model with a depth of 45 cm, but bulky things cannot be placed in such furniture. The corner element can be up to 100 cm wide. Such furniture is comfortable and is an excellent storage facility for bulky items.

For convenience, the upper part of the structure may be narrower than the lower one. If we are dealing with a fairly long room, you can pick up one piece of furniture deeper and connect it to the shallow piece of the transition module. This will allow the furniture to harmoniously fit into the interior, playing on a small area.

To make the modular hallway convenient to use, it can be conditionally divided into 3 parts:

• top;
• medium;
• bottom.

The upper structure consists of closed and open shelves (mezzanines). They can accommodate rarely used things. Such modules can be equipped with hinged facades or lifted with microlifts.

In the middle are things that should always be at hand. These can be vertical, horizontal sliding or hinged modules for clothes in the form of pencil cases or wardrobes.

The package includes:

• descending, ascending, stationary, spiral rods;
• transverse rods (if the depth is less than 45 cm);
• regular boxes or with dividers (for small or large items);
• shelves with or without baskets;

• housekeepers;
• holders for umbrellas;
• mirror (can be mounted on a facade or panel);
• hooks (attached to the inside of the module or to the furniture panel).

The lower part of modular furniture is needed for bulky and heavy things (suitcases, bags, tools, sports equipment) and shoes (it is not hygienic to place it over other things). Small compartments or common shelves can be used for shoes.

How your hallway and the furniture in it will look like depends on three factors:

• stylistics of other premises, house or apartment as a whole;
• individual preferences;
• the prevalence of practicality or aesthetics.

The entrance hall is the last room in the apartment to be renovated. At the same time, it is important to respect the integrity of all rooms: it is ugly if there is an African in the living room, and a Scandinavian style in the hallway. Everything should be appropriate, subject to a single direction. It can be decorated in one of the directions of the classic or modern style.

Styles can represent interesting design solutions:

• Baroque. The main color is white, although natural woody colors are often used. Furniture facades are decorated with gilding and carving, there are cornices, balustrades, small columns.
• Rococo resembles baroque, but allows the use of pastel light colors. Lines are rarely straight: they take on fancy and curved outlines.

• Classicism. In addition to pastel colors, the play of brightness and contrast is encouraged. The decor is more geometric, the shapes are proportional. The main condition is symmetry. Glass, stained-glass windows with drawings and mirrors are actively used.
• Art Deco borders on classicism. Bright colors (red, blue, green, burgundy, lilac) are combined with pale shades or a white background. The decor is expressed in the quality of carving, furniture decoration with textiles and the use of glass with painting, patterns, landscapes.

Examples of modern style are directions:

• minimalism, expressed in clear lines and strict forms (saturated colors, monochromatic, without embossed texture);
• fusion (shocking), designed to combine incongruous (rounded shapes border on rectangular ones, multilevel, unusual color combinations and original photo printing are characteristic);

• high-tech - shiny surfaces, chrome-plated metal parts;
• pop art is a bold combination of shades, textures, shapes (such furniture is a spectacular installation).

Any style can be supplemented and changed in accordance with your own vision. For reasons of practicality in the hallway, it is better to use non-marking colors and textures that are resistant to scratches and other mechanical damage. The main thing is that the environment should be comfortable.

A distinctive feature of modern modular furniture in the hallway is the fact that you can change the arrangement of elements and replace them with others, change the facades. In other words, this is a kind of constructor for adults, through which you can add fresh notes to the interior of the hallway. Models without legs, attached to the wall, are gaining popularity. Such furniture looks original.

The arbitrary arrangement of the modules assumes the distance between the individual elements and different heights. One or two elements can be highlighted with color as bright accents. The versatility is manifested in the fact that manufacturers produce such typesetting furniture in series. If desired, using them, you can pick up items for any room.

Among the manufacturers, the following are the most popular:

• Lazurit;
• "Lerome";

• Borovichi Furniture;
• "The ABCs of furniture";

• BRW;
• IzhMebel;

• "MST Furniture";
• "Courage furniture".

Lighting will be brighter if you place the fixtures not only on the ceiling and walls, but also on furniture. A separate lamp should be near the mirror.

With the help of mirrored facades, the light is diffused - in this case, even a small entrance hall will turn into a wide and bright hall.

Dark furniture with gloss is expressive. Hanging models look original and add lightness to the interior.

To prevent the furniture from looking bulky, you can use open shelves, and attach hooks or a mirror to the canvas of the decorative panel.

Modular furniture in the hallway can be simple or impressive due to the large number of roomy elements.

If the hallway is narrow, modules with different depths will do. A transition section can be installed between them.

The smoothness of the lines will provide furniture with curved or curved curved facades.
