Features of the location of the cabinet
There are several main nuances:
- To make the cabinet look less massive, you can decorate it to match the wall decoration.
- In a room with low ceilings, it is better to install narrower structures that will visually increase the height.
- A small room should not be decorated with too bulky and large models.
- If the structure around the window will not carry out a serious functional load, more laconic and elegant cabinets can be used.
- On the balcony or loggia, combined with the interior space, using built-in models, it turns out to zone the room.
- When decorating the area under the window opening, you need to think over the ventilation holes for the closed radiator.
Window location options
Window furniture has several functional areas. The layout of products depends on the size of the room and the overall design intent.
On both sides
Symmetrically located products can be open or closed. If the window is not located in the center, asymmetric structures are chosen, for example, in the form of a wardrobe and shelving.
Corner cupboard
This model is perfect for filling corners, especially in small spaces. Such cabinets most often perform a decorative rather than a practical function, but at the same time they represent a fairly roomy design with an ergonomic shape.
In the center of the window
In the area under the window, it is also easy to place a cabinet, which can turn into a cozy seating or work area. The main thing with such an arrangement is that warm air from the radiator can freely penetrate into the room. Structures in the form of a mezzanine above the window opening look no less interesting, however, with a low ceiling height, this solution will not be entirely appropriate. In this case, it is better to hang curtains at the top of the window opening or construct a drywall box for lighting.
Between the Windows
A wardrobe or built-in model, which seems to merge with the plane and does not visually stand out against the general interior background, will fit especially harmoniously into the pier.
