Options for design and decoration of facades
First steps have been taken: material selected, configuration, internal content determined. It remains to determine the design and facades. The budget option is a blind facades made of wood chipboard. Many designers advise combining chipboard with mirror elements that visually increase the interior space of a room, hiding some construction flaws.
Designers identify five main options for facades:
- classic style - the facade is decorated with chipboard. One of the two (three) wings can be decorated with mirror glass;
- the diagonal facade is characterized by the presence of metal profiles, conditionally dividing the surface into parts. In this case, the profiles are located at an angle to each other. Any option can be used as the finishing material: particleboard sheets of various shades, stained / transparent glass, mirror;
- geometric style - cabinet doors are formed by rectangles of different heights, but the same width corresponding to the width of the sash. As in the previous version, any material can be selected for decoration;
- wave style is the most expensive element of decor, as the plates are made individually. At the same time, the wave style allows you to show the creativity of the owner of the headset;
- sector facade - the source material is divided into tiles of a certain size and placed on the surface of the cabinet in the order indicated by the customer / designer.
Modern technologies for the production of finishing materials have advanced so much that the number of design solutions in the thousands. Consider the most common:
- Chipboard - the most modest version of the decor. Wood slab emphasizes the simplicity of style, creating the effect of invisibility of “bulky furniture”, while the color solutions are so diverse that it is quite possible to hide the simplicity of the interior. The advantage of finishing: ease of maintenance, resistance to mechanical damage, durability;
- mirror - a 2-meter cabinet standing in a small room, whose doors are decorated with mirror glass, visually increases the space. Amalgam leaves an indelible impression of beauty, but it requires constant care, since even the smallest dirt (fingerprints) is visible on the surface;
- frosted glass is a durable, translucent material. It is the transparency effect that is not entirely appropriate for decorating cabinets in the hallway or living room. The furniture in this design is more likely to be appropriate in the bedroom, since the contents of the cabinet are partially visible through the matt surface;
- sashes made of glass look spectacular, the inside of which is covered with colored varnish;
- glass surfaces with a pattern / photographs. Here it is possible to show limitless imagination. The production technology of such surfaces allows you to give the appearance of any texture (natural wood, gloss, natural stone, embossed sketch, landscape).
The most expensive decor options include natural wood, leather trim, but, as a rule, this design is used exclusively in the manufacture of custom-made furniture.
