Features of modular living rooms
More recently, a furniture set - a wall - was an indispensable element of the furnishings in the living room. This is a set of furniture of a certain length, consisting of cabinets for various purposes, connected in a certain sequence. To be honest, the assortment of the walls was small and monotonous, and the sections could not be swapped.
Thanks to the advent of modular furniture, it has become possible to make the living room interior more interesting and original. Unlike the usual walls, the modules can be assembled at your own discretion, and, if necessary, additional sections from the same series can be purchased. Another feature of the modular headset is the ability to compose compositions of any configuration: symmetrical, asymmetrical, straight, angular or facing each other.
Modern furniture manufacturers offer a wide range of modular furniture sets any style, colors, configurations and from various materials. Such furniture is ideal for apartments of various sizes and layouts.

Choosing a modular headset for the living room
When choosing a modular wall for a living room, in addition to configuration, functionality and brand, you need to pay attention to the material from which the sections, facades and furniture color scheme are made. The durability, beauty and perception of the headset depends on these characteristics.
By the material of the body and facades
The most expensive, but durable and beautiful option is a set made of solid natural wood. Wood environmentally friendly, has high strength characteristics and a pronounced texture. Elite models of modular headsets are made of oak, beech, cedar, walnut, mahogany, cherry, etc.
The optimal solution in terms of cost would be to purchase a modular wall made of Chipboard. A headset with laminated board bodies and plastic-faced MDF facades is a little more expensive. Also, for the manufacture of section doors, a mirror or glass can be used.
Color solution
The color of the modular headset is also important, which should be in harmony with the interior. All shades of natural wood are very popular, which will perfectly fit into any environment. White does not go out of fashion either, which will give the interior freshness, light, and also visually expand the living room space.
Black furniture looks original, especially in interiors in a modern style. However, it should be used in dosage and in combination with light colors. The most popular combination is black and white or beige.

Stylish solution of modular systems for the living room with a photo in the interior
Furniture manufacturers offer a wide range of headsets to suit any living room interior. Consider the most popular solutions and photos of modular living rooms in modern styles.
Eco-style and minimalism
For eco-style interiors, it is advisable to purchase a set made of natural light-colored wood or material with good imitation. An indispensable attribute of this style solution are vases and pots with decorative indoor flowers and plants.
Minimalist modular systems are simple and effective. It is assumed the presence of a large number of smooth, shiny surfaces, which allows you to visually expand the living room space. Light colors or combinations of white and black are preferred.
Hi-tech and techno style
The difference between modern high-tech modular systems is a minimum of sections, clear geometry and unusual proportions. Furniture fronts are smooth, even, with a shiny surface and are equipped with special door closers. The headset combines open shelves and closed sections, often equipped with LED decorative lighting. The color palette of furniture is dictated by the interior design of the living room.
Techno style is the epitome of urban lifestyle and progress. The modular headset contains various sections for TV, audio and video systems. For the manufacture and decoration of the walls, metal and plastic are used, the forms are clear and even. The color palette of techno-style headsets is predominantly black, metallic silver and gray.
Modern and Art Deco
A distinctive feature of Art Nouveau is the tendency to asymmetry, and in the case of a modular set, this is the ability to arrange sections at different heights. Usually, the center of the composition is a modern plasma TV, around which pencil cases, wall cabinets and shelves are located. The facades are flat, without unnecessary decor inherent in the classics.
Art Deco is chic, unusual shapes, many mirrored surfaces and a contrasting color combination. Modular headsets can be made of dark precious woods using mosaics and chrome elements. Decorative lighting will complement and emphasize the luxurious atmosphere.

What is better to choose and buy modular living room furniture
When choosing modular living room furniture, there are several important points to consider. First of all, decide how you see your headset and what functionality you need. A modular wall kit may include a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, a showcase, a TV stand, hinged sections with and without facades, as well as shelves and pencil cases.
You also need to calculate where the headset will stand and how much area it will occupy in the room. This will affect the size of the sections you buy. For a small living room, it is better to choose a corner wall, as well as transforming models.
Now you need to pay attention to the color and style of the furniture. It should harmoniously fit into the interior. In a small living room, it is advisable to purchase furniture of light shades so as not to overload the space.
When choosing a modular wall, ask the seller about the possibility of its addition and whether this series has been discontinued. It happens! It is better to purchase a headset from a well-known brand, because if necessary, it will be possible to order missing or broken sections, even if the series is no longer sold.
And, of course, when buying, be sure to inspect the furniture for defects: chips, scratches, color irregularities, poor operation of mechanisms, etc.
