Massive living room: natural nobility (27 photos)

The main room of a house or apartment deserves to have the best. If possible, it is worth buying furniture for the living room from solid wood.

What is an array?

An array is ordinary plain wood, one hundred percent wood. In turn, in terms of quality and aesthetics, it is divided into several types:

• Solid, one-piece. This is said about: without a hitch, without a hitch, voids and tar formations. Goes to premium segment furniture.
• Glued. Whole pieces are fused with minor flaws remaining after processing the premium.
• Compressed. Thin sheets join to the desired thickness.

Furniture is also made from other materials obtained by processing natural wood, but the quality of pressed sawdust covered with synthetics is not that of real boards.

What is an array good for?

Solid wood furniture is not accidentally so expensive. It has many advantages:

• exclusive appearance: the pattern on the wood does not repeat, you can be sure that the purchased wardrobe or chest of drawers made of oak or other wood species exists in a single copy;

• durability: the minimum life of beech or oak furniture is 50 years; in other species it is shorter, but also solid;
• beneficial energy: it is scientifically proven that in a room with natural wood furniture a person feels calmer and healthier.

Beech makes clear thoughts, pine improves vitality, oak strengthens the immune system.

Living room: composition matters

A modern living room from an array suggests the presence of many objects, from solid cabinet furniture to a ottoman or wall shelf. It is completed depending on the manufacturer. So, European furniture makers focus on residents of spacious houses. They include large dining tables with a set of chairs and sideboards in the suite of cabinet furniture, suitable for the living-dining room. Domestic manufacturers are more realistic and offer classic items for a living room in a single execution:

• a wall or its modern modification in the form of a showcase;
• cupboard;
• chest of drawers;
• sofa with armchairs;
• coffee table.

Sets are available in different designs for different interior styles.

Table

Tables for the living room are available in two versions: dining and coffee (tea and coffee).

Parameters are determined by several factors:

• For spacious living rooms choose an oval model;
• A round table is appropriate in a small room;
• For multi-functional rooms, a transformer model (folding or with an insertable tabletop segment) is suitable.

All models made from an array are equally reliable and presentable. A large oval table in a dark design looks especially solid.

Chest of drawers

Functional and beautiful furniture. It’s easy to remove various little things from her eyes. In addition to utilitarian, carries an aesthetic load.For example, a chest of drawers can be considered a home mini-museum to display especially beautiful and valuable things:

• silverware;
• services;
• antiques.

You won’t put such a “filling” anywhere: a cheap frame or base is guaranteed to spoil the impression. The frame for the display case needs an appropriate one, and the natural array is absolutely suitable for this.

There is a chest of drawers used as a dressing table. Undoubtedly, it is more pleasant to put yourself in order if it is beautiful.

Showcase

This is a cabinet with glass or mirrored doors. The best option is obtained precisely from the array, since such a showcase looks great and is able to withstand any load.

A slide with shelves from solid boards looks solid and reliable. You can safely put in the closet the heaviest exhibits of collections or bulky tomes; the shelves will not bend or crack.

A cabinet or chest of drawers made of solid wood as the base of fragile structures protects them from destruction. Solid wood frame holds glass shelves and doors firmly.

The combination of the airiness of the glass, the brilliance of the mirrors and the solidity of the wooden pedestal creates harmony, balances the space.

Wall

The walls to the living room from solid wood are traditionally the most popular furniture for this room. Combining the functions of a buffet, sideboard, cupboard, they make life easier for housewives, showing off the most beautiful things and hiding less presentable ones. Often they themselves are a piece of furniture art.

Angular varieties fit into a small room without any problems: they are not so bulky and visually do not burden the interior.

The solid dimensions of the wall are compensated by the mobility of its parts: modular designs are easily rearranged or combined, creating the impression of novelty.

Array for any style

Designers are constantly creating new furniture from solid wood, which corresponds to any interior or style decision, therefore, deciding to buy a new showcase, it is not necessary to radically remodel the entire atmosphere in the living room: colors, chandeliers, curtains, etc. You can always choose the exact matching furniture option.

Classical

The traditional and most common style for this room. The classic-style living room is dark furniture with carved facades and smooth bends. Inlaid from valuable grades or a gilded coating is welcome.

Minimalism

A wall, a chest of drawers, a table are simple, without excessive decor and shiny hardware, but even in this form, the array does its job: the simplest cabinet looks expensive.

Modern

Refinement - the main feature of Art Nouveau - is inherent in the tree. The array easily recreates any, even the most intricate asymmetry, also distinguishing style.

Country

Nothing better than natural, warm wood can not reproduce home comfort. If desired, the new array can be easily aged by creating a "grandmother" chest of drawers.

Color

Solid wood furniture can be divided into two types: dark and light.

White headset

A new, but more and more popular solution is white furniture with all tones: ice cream, milk, cold. It can be made in almost any style: classic, minimalism, modern, country.

It is especially suitable for a small room, because it visually enlarges it, or for an insufficiently lit room, which makes it brighter.

Another advantage of white furniture - having bought it, you do not need to change the color scheme available in the living room. White color is basic, neutral and can be combined with any other without restrictions.
It is chosen by fans of the Russian tradition who want to revive the unique style of the Russian noble estate. Usually, large country houses are decorated this way. A white wall, a showcase or a chest of drawers, even from an array, do not burden the interior, but make the living room elegant and airy.

Dark furniture

Suitable for a room with large windows facing the sunny side.

Furniture made from solid beech, oak, and other dark woods make the classic interior of the living room solid, give solidity. It is chosen by people who use the living room not only for its intended purpose. For example, as a study - in the apartment there is not always a separate room for him.

If white furniture makes the room a bit “frivolous”, then dark immediately signals the opposite. The impression is enhanced precisely by the array, which in dark varieties ennobles even the simplest furniture.

Popular materials for living rooms

Different types of wood go to the living rooms from solid wood. The most popular, time-tested are beech, oak and pine.

Oak

The king of the array, furniture classics and the most sought after material from wealthy buyers. Its wood furniture is both reliable and magnificent. In its natural form, it is a light material with a beautiful texture, but the market offers living rooms painted in a range from white to black.

An elite variety is bog oak. It is obtained from the wood of a tree that has been in the water for decades. As a result, it acquires a rare purple tint. Living room made of solid oak of this shade is an exclusive, translating it into a de luxe category.

From oak, a very strong wood material, you can make any furniture regardless of future loads. Buying it, it is worth considering several points:

• Oak is not very resistant to moisture, so it is recommended to close areas that are in direct contact with water. For example, before a feast at an oak table, it is advisable to cover it with a waterproof tablecloth.
• Well-crafted oak does not need additional polishing, because if the layer of varnish or other compounds is impressive, it is better to refuse the purchase.
• Solid wood furniture is very heavy, you need to immediately put it in its intended place: moving it later is even a little problematic.

It is massive in appearance, therefore, to soften it is often decorated with carvings. As a result, shop windows or tables become more elegant.

Beech

Beech wood is valuable, it is stronger than oak, but it is cheaper. The heart-shaped texture makes any piece of furniture unique. At such a wall for the living room, the "twin" is not guaranteed to be.

However, wood has minor flaws:

• over time, darkening of the original beautiful color is possible;
• tendency to crack;
• intolerance to sudden changes in humidity.

Beech is very heavy, even surpasses oak in this, so bulky objects like a sofa or a showcase will be difficult to rearrange if you want to change the situation.

Most often, classic-style furniture is made from beech, although a noble appearance will decorate almost any interior. The most illustrative example of beech exclusivity is the famous Viennese chairs. Sets of them with dining tables from a solid array are recognized as classics, a model of sophistication.

Pine

Solid wood furniture is one of the cheapest, but this is not due to flaws in the material or its poor consumer characteristics. Pine is one of the most common types of wood in our latitudes; it is relatively easy to process.

Solid pine furniture smells good, its aroma is healing. Wood does not rot, is not afraid of temperature changes, repels water well. A bug or fungus will never start in it. Another highlight in a clear, aesthetically pleasing texture.

Often there are irregularities in the form of knots, but fans believe that this “flaw” just confirms the authenticity of the array.

Living room from solid pine organically looks:

• in a country house;
• in country style;
• in classic style.

One of the fashion trends is solid pine furniture in a modern minimalist style. To make the living room "breathing", designers propose to make light furniture not solid, but with recesses and niches.

Furniture is a durable item, so it’s best not to save on it if possible. It is rational to invest money in quality things, for example, from an array. This is a good investment, because the headset will last for decades, while maintaining an expensive look. It may well become a family jewel for several generations.
