What furniture can be considered interesting
Not every set of furniture can be called interesting. Usually, this concept is associated with works of design art, which differ from standard furniture models. All interesting furniture is made in a limited edition and is not widely used. Even the release of two identical sets is very rare for elements of this style. Very often, people who want to give an unusual look to their apartment, resort to the help of designers. Professionals can offer truly unusual solutions for home or room furnishings. If you do not limit the imagination of a competent designer, you can get a quality project with very unusual elements made to order.
When choosing a suitable model, it is worth first of all to learn to distinguish unusual interior details from simply ill-conceived cabinets and sofas. Really high-quality, even the smallest unusual little table will be convenient to use and at the same time the manufacturer will most likely try to supplement it with convenient functions. Such furniture sets will be easily transformed into something else, or their strange appearance will simply not interfere with their intended use.
Varieties
There are several types of original furniture that can decorate the home of creative and creative people.
Transformers
Transformer furniture does not surprise anyone, but modern designers, armed with technical innovations of furniture enterprises, are able to add something completely new to their works. For example, sleeping places can very unusually include spaces for storing things, and work desks easily turn into large areas for eating. Such original solutions make it possible to place in small-sized apartments full-fledged areas for rest, work, sleep and meetings with guests. The main feature of an interesting transforming furniture is its complete transformation. Looking at the bed, none of the guests will realize that the podium on which it is located conceals a huge amount of things.A desktop with a full-sized computer or all-in-one can suggest tools for hiding equipment in a niche.
Bookshelves and storage systems
Models of furniture, characterized by an unusual shape, allow designers to come up with the most innovative and bold solutions. This subspecies includes widely represented amazing bookshelves of unexpected shapes (in the form of animals, emblems of superheroes, abstractions) allowing to arrange not only paper editions, but also many souvenirs.
Shelves can be made up of round, spinning parts or irregularly shaped parts. They differ in the absence of symmetry, or vice versa, in its explicit emphasis. Modern shelves are often equipped with built-in sockets for charging electronic books or other gadgets.
Smart mirrors
High-tech solutions do not bypass the furniture industry. Every minute saved is important for people who are used to living in the frantic rhythm of megalopolises, so “smart mirrors” are very popular at the present time. They allow owners to check the weather or read reminders of important matters before going out. This is possible due to equipping the reflective surface with an invisible screen that displays information on a plane without prejudice to the image. The software allows you to enter information into the mirror using a smartphone.
Cushioned furniture
Sofas and soft corners can have an unusual design (ball, car body, cut bath, space ship) or have hidden features. Some models have speakers, pull-out televisions, and even pet houses.
Fancy colors
It is currently difficult to surprise anyone with the color scheme of the interior. It is technically possible to make parts of any color, interesting ideas can affect the combination of shades, textures and materials, it will be very difficult to come up with something new. There are some unusual ideas for creating beautiful interiors:
- Bright accents on a dark or light background allow you to highlight some elements of the interior and make the space more lively. Dark rooms can "put pressure" on people, so this solution can be implemented in a large room and with a generous dilution with bright colors - then the space will cheer up. Sleeping in a bright bedroom is very difficult, but a kitchen or a room with many bright spots will make a person immediately wake up and energize for the whole day;
- Orange and red colors are distinguished by the ability to increase appetite and improve digestion, which is why many cafe owners make out establishments in these shades. Residents of apartments can add “tasty” colors to the kitchen and make it a little brighter. Indoor plants in neat pots will perfectly combine with such an interior. They should be soft, but juicy;
- The bedrooms are traditionally furnished with furniture, carpets, curtains and wallpapers of conservative colors. This is primarily due to the inability to fully relax in the presence of visual irritants. But often the bedroom also serves as a place to work, meet friends or just have a good time, and in a conservatively decorated room it can become boring, so people resort to small design tricks. One of them is a screen that encloses a sleeping place from the rest of the space. Inside, they may be beige, but outside, the choice of colors is limited only by the personal preferences of the occupant of this room;
- Very often, interiors try to combine materials of opposite origin, for example, metal can successfully harmonize with wood, natural fabrics or stone.
All combinations of colors and materials should be very well thought out, without proper planning, the room will seem tastelessly designed and will not bring joy to the owners.
Recommendations for combining with the interior
The application of interesting solutions will be appropriate in any home, but it is necessary to have non-trivial elements wisely. There are some tips for competent interior planning using original ideas:
- You can not oversaturate the room with an abundance of unusual elements. If the piece of furniture is large, for example, a table or a massive cabinet, then it alone will be enough. The rest of the room is designed based on the general style;
- Small parts of the decor in the house should be evenly spaced and at the same time ideally combined with each other;
- Furniture with a large number of decorative elements should become the main thing in the room, large and intricately designed things should be in a modestly decorated room, where a discreet interior will additionally highlight them;
- If necessary, you can shade the original furniture using the backlight.
These tips are not rules that you must follow unconditionally. Creative approach allows you to create a room that will look good and her photo can be proudly shown to friends.
Interesting facts about furniture
Interesting facts about furniture indicate a different rate of development of production technologies among different peoples. The furniture industry originates in those days when people began to lead a sedentary lifestyle and stopped carrying all things with them. In countries with harsh climates, the development of furniture manufacturing technologies went much faster. People living in the north needed to equip their habitat with reliable weather protection. Thick walls could give it, and to protect from the cold and make the room more comfortable, simple floorings and benches began to be made.
Another criterion that pushed furniture production towards development was the availability of materials for its production. In the forest regions, any part of the interior can be made of wood, this material lends itself well to processing and, if necessary, parts that become unusable can be easily replaced. It is much more difficult to make stone benches, but at the same time they serve longer than their wooden counterparts. From time immemorial, people have tried to surround themselves with expensive things, showing the status of the owner, the history of furniture remembers the most outstanding products:
- Elite in Russia were considered beds with mattresses full of feathers and down. At that time, people were sleeping on straw or horsehair flooring. Neither sleeping berths were comfortable, unlike modern mattresses made using modern technology;
- Dressers were once also considered interesting furniture, they were invented in Charleston and people liked it for their mobility and the ability to constantly move several small elements, and not just one big one. The most expensive chest of drawers was called a piece of furniture made in 1726 in Florence, it is made of ebony and has not been destroyed for more than 200 years;
- Having first appeared in the Wild West, a high bar counter was also considered original, but thanks to its convenience and practicality it spread throughout the globe. At first, this element was designed to protect the bartender from stray bullets, not uncommon in such establishments, and then only allowed to conveniently pour drinks and communicate with visitors.
Outstanding works of the furniture industry are still being created, they meet all the requirements of customers, and make life as comfortable as possible.
