Time to retire: what can replace the furniture wall in the living room

11.06.2024 11:51

The furniture wall is, in a way, a “legacy” that the Soviet Union left us.

At that time, this interior element was considered very convenient and functional, but modern designers, including the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, believes that the wall looks too bulky, takes up a lot of space, and is sometimes only half used.

Let's think about what we can replace it with.

Hanging shelf

If the room is small or you don’t want to overload the spacious room with massive furniture, place a shelf made in a minimalist style under the TV.

In this case, the main storage should be moved, for example, to the dressing room. If you can’t do without a storage system in the living room, choose a rack in the corner or a narrow closet for this room.

Combined shelves with a work table

Another solution suitable for small rooms: a work area, storage system and TV space combined into one unit.

To make such a goal achievable, you can arrange a furniture composition along the wall, consisting of open and closed shelves and a desk. In this way, you will create the same furniture wall, but in a modern interpretation.

Hanging structure with TV

The section of wall opposite the sofa is a great place to place a suspended structure with a TV. Make sure in advance that it is equipped with a swivel mechanism, sockets, and ideally – open shelves for storing decor and other small items.
