Modular furniture for hallways

Hallways in most modern homes do not differ a large area. In this case, furniture modular 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 hallway forms the first impression of the dwelling and its inhabitants. If it is a dark, cluttered room, the impression will be appropriate. Hallway design must be given no less attention than any other room. It is important to think through every detail of the situation, take into account the lighting, shades of furniture and its functionality.

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

Furniture in the hallway is a must. It is important to organize the space correctly, without a sense of chaos. Everything must be functional. Suitable options with glass or mirror, due to which you can create the illusion of space. Through modular furniture, you can zone a room, which introduces a clear organization and visually plays with 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 so that the lower part of the modules is darker.

Raw materials for modular furniture is diverse and depends on the model.Internal partitions and frame are usually made of laminated chipboard. This is the cheapest material, so this furniture is inexpensive. Laminated chipboard has a wide color palette, which creates a wide scope for choice. MDF is used for the frame less frequently: if unusual shapes are required, since this material is easy to process.

Facades can be made of:

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

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

MDF - the most popular and democratic material. It is covered with enamel or film. The film provides more options for choosing colors because of the rich palette, which includes single colors, metallic colors, texture with sparkles, 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 in the complex they allow you to create an interior in the same style.
• Convenience of choice. The furniture is made of the same material in the same texture.
• Variability of modules. You can make your furniture out of individual elements without overpaying for what you do not need.
• Ease of assembly. Individual items are usually delivered assembled or they can be assembled by yourself.
• Interchangeability. You can replace one piece of furniture with another from the same line.

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

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

To maximize the use of space, this furniture can participate in room zoning. The main condition for the placement of modular furniture for both types - smooth walls and floor. Angles must be straight. If the angle involved in installing the furniture is acute, 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 may 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 you cannot fit bulky items in such furniture. The width of the corner element can be up to 100 cm. Such furniture is convenient and is an excellent storage of large items.

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

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

• top;
• average;
• bottom.

The upper structure is a closed and open shelves (mezzanine). They can accommodate rarely used items. Such modules can be equipped with hinged facades or raised with microlifts.

In the middle are placed things that should always be at hand. It can be vertical, horizontal sliding or swing modules for clothes in the form of canisters or cabinets.

The package includes:

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

• key keepers;
• umbrella holders;
• mirror (can be mounted on the facade or panel);
• hooks (mounted inside the module or on 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 over other things). For shoes, you can use small compartments or general shelves.

How your entrance hall and furniture in it will look like depends on three factors:

• stylistics of other premises, houses or apartments in general;
• individual preferences;
• prevalence of practicality or aesthetics.

Hallway - the last room in the apartment, which is being renovated. It is important to maintain the integrity of all rooms: ugly, if the living room will be African, and in the hallway Scandinavian style. Everything should be appropriate, obeying the same direction. It can be decorated in one of the areas of classical or modern style.

Interesting design solutions can represent styles:

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

• Classicism. In addition to pastel colors, the game of brightness and contrast is welcomed. The decor is more geometric, forms adhere to proportionality.The main condition is symmetry. Actively used glass, stained glass windows with drawings and mirrors.
• Art Deco is bordering on classicism. Combine bright colors (red, blue, green, burgundy, mauve) with pale shades or white background. The decor is expressed in the quality of carving, furniture decoration with textiles and the use of glass with paintings, patterns, landscapes.

Examples of modern style are:

• minimalism, which is expressed in clear lines and strict forms (the colors are saturated, solid, without a relief texture);
• fusion (shocking), designed to combine the incompatible (rounded shapes border on rectangular, characterized by multi-level, unusual color combinations and original photo printing);

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

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

A distinctive feature of modern modular furniture in the hallway is the fact that you can change the location of the elements and replace them with others, change the facades. In other words, this is a kind of designer for adults, through which you can bring fresh notes into the interior of the hallway. Gaining popularity models without legs, fastened to the wall. Such furniture looks original.

Arbitrary arrangement of the modules assumes the distance between the individual elements and different levels of height. As bright accents, you can highlight one or two elements with the help of color. Versatility is manifested in the fact that manufacturers produce such type-setting furniture in series. If desired, with the help of them you can pick up items for any room.

Among the most popular manufacturers are the following:

• Lazurit;
• "Lerom";

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

• BRW;
• IzhMebel;

• MST Furniture;
• "Courage-furniture."

The lighting will be brighter if you place the lamps not only on the ceiling and walls, but also on the furniture. A separate lamp should be at the mirror.

With the help of mirror facades the light is scattered - in this case, even a small hallway will turn into a wide and light hall.

Dark furniture with gloss expressive. Suspended models look original and give lightness to the interior.

To the furniture did not look bulky, you can use the open shelves, and hooks or a mirror to fix on the canvas of the decorative panel.

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

If the hallway is narrow, modules with different depths will do. Between them, you can set the transition section.

Smooth lines will provide furniture with radius concave or convex facades.
