Shelving in the interior

Modern racks are suitable not only for storing things, but also for decorating a room and dividing space into zones. You can choose them for any interior and any color scheme.

When buying a rack, first you need to decide on the style.

Most of the modern styles are minimalistic. Therefore, extra decor in this case will only spoil the picture. For a room decorated in high-tech or loft style, you should choose a simple rack with a metal frame. Shelves complemented by steel rivets will look beautiful.

The Scandinavian style is also popular now. It is almost the complete opposite of the previous one. They try to make rooms in the Nordic style bright; materials for finishing are selected natural.

A rack in such a room, as a rule, is used to divide the room into zones. It is worth choosing furniture of light color, to match the walls and floor. Wood products in pastel colors are suitable. Shelving shelves can be made of transparent or frosted glass.

The classics also do not lose their relevance over time. Rooms decorated in English, Oriental and French styles look beautiful. Finding furniture for them is very easy. So, a simple rack with open shelves, as well as antique-styled products with small scuffs and cracks, will perfectly fit into a Provence-style room.

In a classic country-style interior, a massive wardrobe made of wood with a metal finish will look good. Wood cabinets are also suitable for styles:

• art deco;
• vintage;
• rustic;
• modern.

Fans of unusual design should take a closer look at plain wardrobes with interesting decorative elements.

The location of the shelving usually depends on the room in which it is used and what it is used for. There are several of the most popular furniture placement options.

For this purpose, as a rule, two-sided models are used. This allows you to divide the space into 2 main areas on opposite sides of the rack. This technique is often used in studio apartments or large living rooms. There, the room is divided into a work area and a place for rest. This is especially useful if someone in the family works from home.

If you want to separate part of the room, making it more comfortable and closed, you should use a model with a back wall. You can choose both high racks and medium-sized structures. Using the first option, you can actually create a separate mini-room in your living room.

Stepped racks are often used for zoning space. They look very interesting. Such structures usually consist of the same mesh size and are quite roomy.

High and narrow shelves are most often placed next to the windows. They can go from floor to ceiling. If the window is located in the middle of the wall, it is most convenient to arrange the shelves around it. This will make the room look stylish and retain enough space to store all your belongings. In addition, a small sofa can be placed next to the window, thus creating a comfortable corner for reading, watching movies or relaxing.

Another convenient place for shelving is a corner.Very often it is this part of the room that turns out to be empty. However, it is quite possible to occupy it with furniture. A combined structure consisting of several shelves is well suited for this part of the room.

A universal option for any room - a low rack on wheels. It will perfectly fit into the interior of any room. Such mobile shelves can be moved, if necessary, changing the layout as desired.

Modern racks differ in color and design features. When choosing them, it is important to consider how well they will blend in with the rest of the furniture in the room.

It is important to stick to one style. That is, for a bright room, choose a white rack with transparent glass shelves. This will visually expand the space, make it light and comfortable for work or creative pursuits. But you can go the other way, choosing a bright wardrobe that will attract the attention of everyone who enters the room.

When decorating a room, you can use racks with or without a back wall. In the first case, it can be decorated separately. For example, use upholstery fabric or paint it with matte paint. Sometimes the back wall is also mirrored. This allows you to visually increase the space. But in such a rack, you should not store too many things, so that the result is not the opposite.

Shelves with curtains can be used in the kitchen. This solution is perfect for a room decorated in the Provence style. At the same time, open shelves can be filled with various decorative trifles - flowers in small pots, colorful plates and souvenirs. These trinkets will be appropriate in the living room or bedroom. In this case, you can put framed photographs and some memorable or original gifts on the shelves.

Shelving space can be found in any room in an apartment or house. For each room, it is worth choosing the most suitable and convenient designs.

Beautiful modern shelving is a great alternative to massive walls. For a spacious room, you can choose several shelves, on which there is room for equipment and for all the necessary things.

Some of them can be open, some are closed. It is most convenient to place TV, speakers and other equipment in the center of the room on an open shelf. On the sides, you can place racks with various household items.

And also next to the sofas, you can install narrow shelving-shelves. They can store books and magazines. In this case, it will be easy to reach the right things without even getting up from the couch.

In the hall, you can also find a place for a rotating structure. Such racks are convenient because they have twice as much free space. You can twist it as you like, taking things from any shelf. In addition, this particular design is suitable for collectors and those who are passionate about creativity, because it is best suited for displaying content to guests.

Another good option for a living room is a wine rack. It can display a collection of your favorite wines, which will be kept until the arrival of guests or any other suitable occasion. The main thing is to place such a structure in a darker part of the room so that direct sunlight does not fall on the bottles.

The bedroom space should be free so that nothing interferes with rest. Therefore, it is best to choose built-in shelving for this room. And you can also use the space next to the bed. Many people prefer to install 1 or 2 racks along the edges of the bed to store various little things there.

A good option is to place hanging racks at the head of the bed. Floor cabinets with a U-shape also look interesting. They seem to girdle the bed. It turns out a convenient design in which you can store all the necessary things.

You also need to find the right shelving for your home office. You can choose large floor cabinets for documents and books. They are installed against the walls and do not take up much free space.

There is also space for shelving next to the work desk. They should be placed on the side, at arm's length. So the table will not be cluttered, while all the necessary things will be very close. Such a rack should be matched to the style of the desktop so that they are ideally combined with each other.

There is a place for shelving in the children's room. Here, as a rule, toys, children's books and other little things are stored. To prevent the space from looking cluttered, it is worth using beautiful wicker or fabric baskets for storage. You can buy them in many stores or even do it yourself.

Children's racks should be reliable and lightweight. Therefore, they are often made from drywall and other similar materials. Nursery furniture should be low. Especially if there are toys on the shelves that the child can take himself. For the safety of the child, do not install in a child model with sharp corners and glass elements.

For a children's room, beautiful and bright shelving is most often chosen. There are many interesting decor ideas. Shelves can be decorated with images of your favorite cartoon or fairy-tale characters, stylized as a typewriter, a house or a magic hut. The kid will definitely like this design, and he will be happy to spend time in his room.

We need lockers in the kitchen too. Most often, wood or metal furniture is used there. Popular are designs on wheels that can be easily moved around the kitchen. You can install them:

• in the working area;
• in the dining area;
• next to the window;
• by the sofa for zoning space.

If you put a massive shelving unit in the dining area, it will serve as an excellent alternative to the usual sideboard. There you can display both sets and some decorative items or pots with fresh herbs. The ladder rack will also look beautiful. It takes up less space, is installed against the wall and looks appropriate even in a small apartment.

In the working area, the rack will serve for storing kitchen utensils and cutlery. In this case, the shelves can be either open or closed. Such furniture will perfectly fit in the Scandinavian style or in the loft style.

In addition, the racks can be placed in bathrooms and toilets. It is convenient to store care and decorative cosmetics, towels and other necessary little things on them. In rooms with high humidity, it is recommended to use plastic or metal shelves, but you can give your preference to wood with moisture resistant impregnation.

Narrow racks are more suitable for corridors and hallways. If the room is very small, you can choose a compact corner option.

If the house has 2 floors, then the space under the stairs can also be used for shelving. It will turn out very conveniently and neatly.

Despite the fact that now there is a very large selection of shelving for the home, it is quite easy to cope with their choice. You just need to decide on your preferences and try to select furniture so that it complements the interior of the room well, and does not spoil it.
