Colors and decor

Today it is difficult to surprise someone with the unusual color of the wardrobe.

Facades of different shades of green, blue, red, violet color look very interesting. To the cabinet did not look too catchy and bright, saturated color muffled by a darker shade.

The most popular colors for facades include all shades of natural oak, birch, maple, ash, apple, pear, alder and other trees.The facade, decorated "under the wood" always gives nobility and refinement to any interior. Even if in its manufacture used low-cost materials.

As for the decoration options, a lot depends on the material of which the facade is made. If it is a mirror, then sandblasted ornaments or etched drawings are often used to decorate it. They do not look too pretentious, but very gracefully and subtly emphasize the beauty of the mirror facade.

Photo printing is also very popular. It is mainly used to design cabinets for the living room or bedroom. Photos can depict portraits, beautiful landscapes, still lifes or any other paintings.

In the trend of the last few years - the decoration of the facades with the help of multi-colored stained glass windows. The drawing, created from small and large colored glass, looks like a picture from a children's kaleidoscope. This stained glass mosaic looks very expensive, resembling the decoration of luxurious ancient palaces.

Tips for choosing

When choosing a facade design option for your cabinet, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points:

  1. Depending on where exactly the cabinet will be located, you need to select a suitable facade. For example, a bright, large pattern made using photo printing is unlikely to look appropriate in a small hallway. This is an option for a spacious living room or bedroom. The classic version with a combination of fiberboard, MDF, plastic and mirrors perfectly fit into any interior.
  2. Mirror and glass surfaces are pre-protected from the inside with a special film that will not allow the glass to crumble into small pieces and injure a person. However, for children's rooms it is best to choose a safer option (plastic, MDF).
  3. The color of the cabinet should be in harmony with the shade of wall and floor coverings, other furniture and decorative objects.
