TV mini walls
In our country, most families live in small apartments, where every meter counts. It is quite difficult to furnish such rooms, especially the living room, where, apart from the sofa, you need to place more storage space, put a TV with all additional equipment. The output in this situation will be the purchase of a mini-wall with the possibility of installing a TV.
Special features
Mini walls have several advantages:
- This furniture attribute is quite functional, it allows you to place all the things needed in the hall in a small area.
- Modern models are quite interesting, as easy as possible in terms of visual perception.
- Mini-wall allows you to perfectly fit the TV, making it one with the piece of furniture.
- TV is installed in a niche formed by various pieces of furniture, so it is protected from falls, as pushing it from there is rather difficult if not done on purpose.
But there are mini walls with a place to install TV and disadvantages:
- If you don’t install a TV in your house, then you don’t need a place to place it. Although you can always find options for what to occupy, for example, buy an aquarium or make a pseudo fireplace in a niche.
- Not always the niche of this furniture attribute allows you to install the device of the diagonal that you would like.
- Space for TV takes a fairly large place that could be taken up by storage space.
Kinds
In principle, all the mini-walls under the TV can be divided into several groups:
- Gorka. This type of walls migrated from Soviet times, taking its functionality, but significantly simplified the design. Modern slides do not clutter up the room, occupy a minimum of space.
- Tumba This type of furniture is a TV stand with a place for a DVD-set-top box, as well as drawers for storing small items and a few hanging shelves, located either in one row or taking up space on the side of the TV.
- Combination with the cabinet. Here in the design of the mini-wall there is a wardrobe where you can hang clothes.
You can also divide the model of mini-walls by location:
- Rectilinear. All parts of the wall are lined up along the wall.
- Corner. Such walls are installed in the corner, thereby saving additional square meters of space. However, they do not lose their functionality.
Materials
Mini-walls with the ability to install a TV are made of several types of materials:
- Solid wood. This is a natural material, products from which are quite durable, but the wood is quite expensive and all the less often you can meet the mini-walls of this material. This is due to the fact that such a piece of furniture is usually bought in small-sized living rooms, and the cost of products made of natural wood is quite expensive. And more often people prefer to buy furniture from analogues of this material.
- Veneer. This material is made from the remnants of the woodworking industry by compacting fine sawdust. The result is slabs that are quite eco-friendly and visually strongly resemble wood. It is possible to give any form to products made from this material, even to imitate a thread.They are not afraid of changes in humidity, if desired, products made of veneer can even be restored.
The cost of mini-walls with the use of this material is much lower than that made of wood.
- LDSP. Another analogue of wood. It is also made of sawdust, only their fraction is slightly larger, and the pressing is carried out using formaldehyde resins. The production technology allows to produce only flat plates without any deviations from rectangular shapes. Therefore, it is unlikely that it will be possible to produce original facades from this material. In addition, LDSP is afraid of moisture. From the effects of water, the top layer bubbles, and products made of this material simply lose their appearance. Although the cost of laminated chipboard walls is minimal and almost everyone can afford to buy a piece of furniture from this material in their homes.
- Glass. This material is used for facades. It is used as a transparent material, and covered with various films. But with such facades of walls it is worth being extremely careful.
With awkward closing of the wall flaps, the glass can be damaged or even broken. It is better to choose the material, the last hardened.It is less brittle and less commonly damaged.
- Plastic. This material is used only in modern models of these products, usually plastic parts have a glossy surface and a streamlined shape.
- Metal. Aluminum frames are often used as facade frames. The contrast of metal and glass gives a rather original appearance to such pieces of furniture.
Stylistic decisions
Mini-walls are produced in various styles, therefore, whatever the design of the living room is conceived, you can easily choose this piece of furniture for it. Consider the main features inherent in the mini-walls under the TV in a particular stylistic decision:
- Classicism. Here the walls are made of natural wood and have quite strict forms. Colors preferred natural, woody. Although black and white pieces of furniture are also permissible. The facades can be carved, but not very conspicuous, without special monograms. Illumination of such furnishings is possible, but is rarely used in classicism.
- Modern The walls of this style can be in a completely different design. Here models are appropriate in appearance as close to the classics, and completely contradictory to it.Asymmetry, bright colors, line clarity, contrast - all this can also be applied in the mini wall of this style.
- Provence. The mini-walls of this stylistic decision are mainly made in white. A distinctive feature of such pieces of furniture is the transparent glazing of the shelves with trellised frames. Walls in Provence style are made mainly of natural wood or veneer.
- High tech. Here the prerogative is clear forms and innovative materials. Primary colors: metallic, graphite, black, white. Usually this wall has an LED backlight. Most often, artificial materials such as plastic are used to make these pieces of furniture. LDSP. The coating can be both glossy and matte.
- Minimalism. Mini-walls of this style do not differ from the previous one. Only here almost no glossy surfaces are used. And by the number of shelves and drawers: the less - the better.
