White bookcases
A white bookcase is an excellent solution if you want to safely store your collection of literature and avoid any risk to it. But what is important is which design is chosen, as far as it meets the needs of the customer. Not to make a fatal mistake is quite simple - you just need to read the information about this product and its variants.
Features and models
Widespread wardrobes with glazed hinged doors. Dignity is quite obvious - through them you will be able to see your entire collection, therefore, if it is unique or very valuable for you personally, this is perhaps the best option. The systematization and placement of publications is facilitated, and then the search for the right one among them is accelerated.Any room such products immediately add comfort and elegance.
Products with glass are attractive from other points of view:
- The furniture is closed, dust inside is reliably prevented.
- Containment of sunlight (bindings and covers will not turn yellow any longer, like individual pages).
- It is convenient to enjoy the view of the home library without opening the cabinet, or to show it to someone else.
- Already on the way you can quickly navigate where the desired volume stands.
- Space in the room significantly increased.
- If you want to choose a hinged narrow version, there will be no problems.
Buyers are not at all limited in their choice and may also prefer the angular or straight variety, varying in height, style and color. Depending on personal taste, the doors are either of the "compartment" or of the swing type.
With all its advantages, glass door cabinets have several disadvantages:
- It is very easy to leave finger marks and other dirt, and it is difficult to remove them.
- The cost of glazed products is quite high.
- The ability to demonstrate your collection of books turns into the need to spend additional funds to saturate it with editions in catchy, noticeable bindings.
If the decision to purchase a glazed cabinet is firm and final, you need to understand the details of its device. So, swinging doors are quite popular, since opening them is very simple. Most often, special magnets are used to prevent spontaneous opening. Also used are doors with locks and sealing tape around the perimeter, which completely eliminates dust.
The compartment format is attractive because you don’t need to touch the glass itself, it is complemented by wooden or plastic panels to which the handles are already attached. Such a solution is distinguished favorably and stylistically (the obvious disadvantage is that part of the surface is opaque).
But the hinged doors are quite difficult to use, because they are of little use when glazed. Regardless of the chosen construction, in these cabinets special glasses are used, which effectively carry a large load, and if they break, they do not give small fragments.
Variants of placement in the interior
In order to look attractive in the interior of the bookcase, one should not only select the piece of furniture itself, but also figure out where to put it, in what room and even in the room.Right by the wall, it is permissible to use both narrow and wide cabinets, the only condition is that it turns out to put all the necessary literature in them. Near put a wall, cabinets, sofas or easy chairs.
For corners of smaller rooms, corner cabinets are preferable, which take up little space, allowing you to put a large amount of books on the shelves. At the request of the customer, elements that increase functionality are used. It is more appropriate to occupy the center of the room with a cabinet of a display case with circular glass walls - this will make it possible to delimit the monolithic space into blocks. It is undesirable to put the first option in the middle, and the second against the wall, keep in mind this moment (and the fact that the “shop-windows” are attractive only in spacious rooms).
Having dealt with the doors of the white cabinet, it remains to find out its other necessary parameters. So, low products will suit those who do not have a large library, they will serve as an excellent support for other elements of the interior. Bleached oak suggests that furniture owners have a delicate and sophisticated aesthetic taste. The atmosphere at the same time becomes concise and easy,adjusts to a positive and does not reduce elegance. It is appropriate to classics in the living room, and in the nursery, and in the bedrooms, even in the home offices.
Some people are repelled by the imaginary difficulty of selecting combinations for a white cabinet. According to designers, it is compatible (on the principle of contrast) with black, red and blue interior details; good combinations are possible with gold and silver decor, carved elements.
The disadvantage of natural wood outweighing all its advantages is the high price. The severity, the unsuitability of a small volume, complex care also deter consumers. The output often becomes the use of MDF, which can be given a variety of textures, including gloss, reproducing the aesthetic features of other materials.
It should not be used where contact with water is likely or high air humidity is observed. Chipboard is interesting for its low cost and a wide aesthetic spectrum, only it wears out too quickly.
The choice of white color is appropriate in a variety of interiors. Fans of antique style should prefer cabinets of a simplified design without a single acute angle, with as smooth lines as possible.In a classic room it is much more appropriate to put furniture that emphasizes solid surroundings and majesty, the aesthetic tastes of the owners - only without overloading with small details.
Varnish is irrelevant in the case when the closet is placed in a loft style living room All three-dimensional models are incompatible with it, but compact versions (or put on wheels) will fit perfectly. Again, small design elements in such a style are unnatural. Strictly incompatible any white cabinets with Gothic, African interiors; Such a combination gives a feeling of strange eclecticism, sometimes even vulgarity and bad taste. It is not necessary to be afraid of dusting - with proper care it cannot manifest.
