Walls for TV

The living room is considered the most comfortable and beautiful place in the house, so its modern design cannot be imagined without such an important piece of technology as a TV. In order for the family to be able to get together in the evenings for comfortable viewing of news, films or TV programs, it is necessary to correctly plan the situation in the interior of the room and conveniently embed the screen.

This type of furniture not only harmoniously fits into the general appearance of the room, but also fills it with a special atmosphere of the hearth. There are different types of walls. In addition to a special niche for a TV, they are also additionally equipped with various compartments, shelves, cabinets where you can easily place speakers, a tuner, magazines and books.

Thanks to this filling, the structure can be used in different ways: it is rational to store things, saving space in the living room, to close an empty wall in the room. In addition, a wide selection of products makes it easy to select a wall for any style of living room decoration.

The TV wall is a unique module consisting of a combined set of cabinets that are made in the same design. Thus, this type of construction is one large system for storing dishes, clothes, things and other items.

In modern wall models, you can also find unusual combinations of sections, for example, a TV stand and decorative showcases. The dimensions of the furniture and the depth of the niche for the equipment are selected depending on the dimensions of the TV itself. To install a plasma screen, you will need more voluminous sections.

When making custom-made walls, you can additionally provide for the presence of a wardrobe or other modules; often, glass doors and suspended ceilings are included in the package of such furniture, which makes the design original.

In order for the wall to fit into the interior of the room in a special way, it is necessary to take into account not only its size, but also the type of decoration, therefore it is advisable to choose models with decorative elements that complement the style of the room.

Among the huge selection of furniture, mini-walls for TVs, as well as modules with an angular configuration, have recently been in great demand. They look beautiful indoors, take up a minimum of living space and allow you to store things rationally.

In addition, the following wall models are distinguished:

• Slide... It is a multifunctional and compact module that makes the room more spacious and brighter. On the sides of this design, a wardrobe or a hanging rack for books can be placed. A slide with a fireplace looks beautiful.

• Curbstone... Well suited for lovers of restraint and minimalism. A chest of drawers can be located next to the cabinet. If the room is small, then to save space, this furniture option can be combined with a computer desk or with a workplace.In this case, the TV is hung on the wall using awnings or placed on the cabinet itself.

• Wall cabinet. It is a modular design with a recess in which a casement cabinet is mounted. Particularly popular is the built-in type of wall with a sliding or hinged system of mechanisms.

The TV wall should be not only beautiful, but also of high quality. Therefore, great attention should be paid to the material from which the furniture is made. For the production of these modules, two types of raw materials are mainly used:

• Natural wood from various types of solid wood. Such walls are strong, durable and expensive. As a rule, these structures are acquired on the condition that the design of the room will not change for many years.
• Lumber... This is MDF, chipboard, fiberboard. Although in terms of their characteristics, the walls from the above raw materials are significantly inferior to wood products, they lend themselves well to processing and go well with various finishes. Glossy furniture surfaces look especially beautiful.

Before purchasing furniture from chipboard and fiberboard, you need to inquire about their quality certificate and the presence of permissible formaldehyde indicators. If the formaldehyde figure in the raw material is up to 10 mg, then this does not exceed the norm and the furniture is considered safe for human health. Recently, a combination of natural and artificial materials has also been actively practiced - the shelves and the facade are made of solid wood, and the frame is made of chipboard. As a result, the product looks sophisticated and expensive.

Fittings are also considered an important indicator for the TV wall. As a rule, modern furniture models are decorated with plastic, aluminum, glass and mirror elements. This type of finish gives the product a unique look and emphasizes its static direction.

The fittings must be of high quality and harmless to health, therefore, the excess of lead and mercury in the mirror and glass is not allowed. In addition, the thickness of decorative elements plays a huge role in furniture, it can be no more than 5 mm, otherwise, under a heavy load, the glass or mirror may crack.

As for the curtain wall structures, they must also be durable and of high quality. It is not recommended to hang furniture parts on drywall walls, as it will not withstand heavy loads.

Before placing a wall with modules, you need to know not only the area of ​​the room, but also the height, depth, width of the furniture itself. The dimensions of the structure are selected depending on what will be in the wall.

Recently, most families prefer to buy small walls. But such mini models cannot contain all the details of a home theater. They look nice and compact, but they are not intended for installing a large TV, since the depth of the niche in the modules does not exceed 30 cm.It is also worth considering the fact that the small depth of the furniture reduces the volume of drawers and cabinets, visually increasing the space in the room.

An important point when shopping for a wall is the choice of color. It is on this indicator that the general appearance of the room depends. The color scheme is selected depending on the size of the room, the style of the interior and the prevailing shades in the room.

In modern design, three types of color combinations are used:

• Monochrome. With this combination, all objects in the room are selected in the same color, but in different shades.So, for example, brown is in perfect harmony with gray, you can also complement it with white or black. It is allowed to create several bright transitions in space, but everything should be in moderation.
• Harmonious... These are original compositions from different, but similar in tone colors. Look good in a pair of blue and green, red and orange.
• Contrasting... This combination consists of absolutely different shades, but at the same time they harmoniously complement each other. For example, yellow with blue, green with purple. As a rule, designs in this color are used by creative and active people.

It is worth noting that any colors can be used in the design of the design, the most important thing is that one shade dominates in the room, and all the rest can be used in small accessories and details.

• As a rule, TV walls are made in brownranging from dark to light beige shades. Unusual ensembles - white or black wall - are also common. They require careful selection of the appropriate accessories and decor items. Despite the chic choice of colors, brown furniture will always remain the most fashionable. A wall in this design will give the room a sense of comfort and stability.

• Black color It is considered the coldest shade in the palette, so it can cause anxiety in many. But if the walls and other furniture in the room are selected in a light tone, then you can safely experiment and put a black wall. This combination will create a great contrast.
• Gray is a neutral color, but this does not prevent it from being a good background for more contrasting subjects. Therefore, if it is necessary to beautifully highlight a zone in a room, then you can safely stir a gray module in it. Its dark shades will harmoniously match red or mustard wall finishes, and the middle tones will find an unusual combination with purple, pink and green.

• Deserves special attention white tone... Thanks to its unique color properties, the room can be made large. It is also worth noting that white is considered a great match for all colors. White walls look especially good in small living rooms.
• As for beige, then this is also one of the representatives of a neutral color. Despite its inconspicuousness, beige combines well with all bright colors. Most often it is combined with azure, pink, purple and turquoise. A wall in this tone will emphasize the beauty of the ceiling and floor in a special way and will become an original background for brighter decorations.

In addition to choosing the color of the wall, you will also need to correctly select the appropriate surface for it. Distinguish between matte, glossy and textured surface appearance. Therefore, if you want to get a cozy, stone atmosphere when creating a design, it is recommended to give preference to designs with matte deep tones. For light interior options, gloss is suitable.

In order for the TV wall to please with its appearance and serve for many years, you need when buying it, adhere to certain selection rules, namely:

• The style direction of the furniture should be identical with the interior. Therefore, if there is a classic version of furniture in the room, you cannot purchase minimalistic walls made of metal or glass.
• Correspondence between the size of the TV and the dimensions of the module. Before starting the purchase, it is imperative to measure all the parameters of the equipment. In addition, the wall should be at least 100 mm wider and deeper than the TV.
• The quality of the material. It is advisable to give preference to natural wood, it is durable and reliable in operation.
• Fittings.The wall is purchased for several years, so all its parts must be of high quality.

If this type of furniture is purchased for the living room, then you should think over its placement in advance and rationally use the internal filling. Small wall models with a minimum load are recommended for the bedroom; volumetric structures with shelves and wardrobes are well suited to the hall.

Often in the design of a room, the main element is the TV, so the whole concept of the interior will depend on its placement. Before installing or hanging the TV, you will need to study in detail the layout of the room, and already starting from this, fill the room with furniture and decor items.

As a rule, a long wall is chosen to place the wall under the TV, the only exception can be living rooms, since they have door and window openings. Rooms with a recess deserve special attention. They are equipped with spacious niches, which are the best place for small walls, an armchair, a sofa.

In many rooms, to save usable space, the space is divided into islands. With this design, the TV module is recommended to be placed in the center, thereby highlighting the recreation area. In this case, the screen should be in a position convenient for viewing. The dimensions of the TV and the walls must be selected in accordance with the area of ​​the room.

Recently, in the design of living rooms, you can find a rather interesting option - combining a wall for a TV with a fireplace. Of course, having a cozy fireplace in the room is everyone's dream, but putting it next to furniture is not recommended. Therefore, in this case, the fireplace is mounted in the corner of the room, and the module is placed along one of the adjoining walls.

After the wall is selected and placed in the room, it remains to complete the finishing touches and think over the original design, in which the furniture and all the furnishings of the room would merge into one style. To decorate the space beautifully on the sides of the structure, you can hang framed posters, collages, paintings or stylish photos.

Mini walls enclosed in a frame made of wooden or bamboo planks or wood look unusual. Also, during repair work, the wall near which the installation of the module is planned is recommended to be pasted over with photo wallpaper or canvas with original ornaments so that it looks contrasting against the background of furniture. If the niche is open in the wall where the TV will stand, then wallpaper with flowers can be pasted on the back of it on the wall.

Today the furniture market is represented by a wide range of products, the novelties of the walls are especially striking. Recently, slides with a round recess for a TV in a classic style, as well as hanging modules with shelves for books, have been in great demand. Walls with a cabinet around the TV are also practical and multifunctional.

To make the furniture look win-win against the general background of the interior, you can apply various design ideas:

• The wall where it is planned to install the TV is well decorated with artificial stone or brick. Materials such as wood, leather, fabric and colored panels will also help highlight the cinema area. If the room is dominated by light colors, then it is best to make the TV area darker and vice versa.
• The area around the modular structure will look unusual if you decorate it with paintings and hang several bookshelves or shelves for souvenirs nearby. In this case, the color of the furniture should be in harmony with the walls and flooring. Alternatively, you can install a light wall, a dark burgundy corner sofa and blue curtains.

• If the niche in the wall is open, then a decorative frame made of wood or gilding can be arranged behind or around it. In this case, the resulting decorative element should not exceed 30 cm for the technique to "breathe". To make the view of the room complete, you need to place other items in the room that complement the interior. A low black wooden table will look unusual in this design.
• If in a classic style, a room with natural furniture and a fireplace looks special, then for the Renaissance walls with carvings, massive chandeliers and decorative elements with gilding are selected. Of course, against this background of "lush" decor, modern technology will look awkward, so hanging structures are chosen for the TV. They are complemented with jewelry or antique figurines, and the curtains are chosen from heavy fabrics.

• To hide the TV from sight, it can be hidden in a wall with closing doors or a screen. Alternatively, molding, compartment doors or a wooden frame can be used. Doors need to be matched to the color scheme of the walls or furniture, so the composition will merge into one whole.
• The room should be designed in such a way that the equipment does not look contrasting against the general background. For example, a brown TV wall and beige walls are considered a good option. Large floor vases or flower pots are also suitable for this composition. At the same time, it is better to choose pots to match the shade of the furniture.
