The living room is a room where people usually spend a lot of time, so it is necessary to create a truly cozy and comfortable environment. Often this room is small in size, so it is necessary to organize the space in such a way that you can easily use all the necessary interior items, without cluttering the available space. For this purpose, corner furniture for the living room is considered an excellent choice, which is represented by numerous types, and can have different sizes and shapes. Available in a variety of styles, so the optimal furniture is selected for each interior.
Wall with corner wardrobe in the living room and distinctive features
Corner cabinets in the living room look good in any apartment. For example, in a spacious apartment, even a large wall will be a good decoration, creating comfort and coziness.
Corner and upholstered furniture also goes well with corner living rooms.
A well-chosen interior of a corner living room will lift the mood of the household. Today, modular designs are very well known; from them you need to make one product or arrange objects around the room in a convenient form.
With the help of modules it is possible to create creativity and occupy all corners of the room.

- You can save space well;
- The furniture is very roomy and versatile;

Deciding on the material
The wall slide in the living room can be made of different materials. In fact, the choice is not so great, since the nature and purpose of the furniture limits it (in the photo of the slides in the living room at the end of the article), different options are presented.
Tree
Solid wood is certainly the most attractive and functional material.
It has many advantages:
- wood has a rich range of colors and structure, from uniform black wenge to walnut with its incredibly intricate wood pattern;
- wood is very easy to process. This property allows us to produce not only smooth facades, but also relief and radius ones. The furniture is unusually decorated with carvings. In classic styles, such a decoration method will always be in place;
- the wood always remains warm to the touch. This property turns out to be very popular, for example, when the slide includes a computer desk. The warm surface creates an extraordinary feeling of comfort;

- solid wood is very durable. Wooden furniture is insensitive to moisture and does not rot or become infected with fungi. Essentially, durability is determined by the properties of the wood species. Pine lasts for several decades, and bog oak for several centuries.
This material also has disadvantages:
- the array is quite heavy, so it is better to avoid console items;
- wood, especially beautiful and durable species, is quite expensive.
MDF
MDF is a wonderful material for furniture. In many cases, MDF is even more durable than wood. The actual structure of MDF is uninteresting - it's just chipboard. However, the material is finished with PVC film and veneer, which gives it a high resemblance to wood. At the same time, a stack for dishes in the living room or a complex with a TV stand and a wardrobe cost significantly less.
The advantages of the material are as follows:
- high strength and density, allowing any type of fastening;
- high resistance to moisture and temperature changes. In the living room this does not play a special role, but for a combined kitchen-living room it is important;
- MDF does not change size over time: the facades do not dry out, do not warp, do not swell;
- MDF finishing also turns out to be more durable: peeling of veneer, for example, or film is extremely rare.
Disadvantages of the material:
- less durability compared to wood;
- there is a risk of damage to the finish due to its thinness. In this case, the repair turns out to be more complicated, since in this case it is necessary to remove the finishing from a large fragment - a sash, for example, and replace it with a new one.

Chipboard
Chipboard is a budget option. This type of wood-based material is dense enough to be used for making furniture, but its durability leaves much to be desired.
The advantages of the material are as follows:
- very affordable cost - the most complex and voluminous chipboard walls have a very affordable price;
- a wide variety of finishes - from veneer to acrylic films, allows you to create an imitation of any natural material: stone, wood, plastic, even a metal surface;
- Furniture sets made from chipboard include many elements and are produced in large quantities. It is not difficult to add some items to the slide at any time or replace a damaged element;
- The big advantage of this design is its lightness. A wall made entirely of cantilever elements does not place a large load on the wall.

The furniture complex has many disadvantages:
- Chipboard does not tolerate changes in humidity and temperature well, facades are deformed and change shape;
- the finish is easily damaged. Film coatings are less durable on such a surface: over time or under the influence of sunlight, the film peels off, changes color, and becomes deformed;
- Chipboard is not durable: the maximum service life of products is 15–20 years;
- finishing, with the exception of veneer, does not provide a high resemblance to wood.
The appearance of the slide, in fact, is provided by the finishing, and the latter is selected in accordance with the style of the living room and color scheme.

Other materials are also used, although much less frequently.
Glass
Glass and also mirror . A slide in a living room in a high-tech or techno style can consist entirely of glass structures. The glass used for such furniture is impact-resistant.
The advantages are obvious:
- The material is incredibly effective. The simplest lighting turns a glass complex into something incredible;
- glass can be decorated in a variety of ways. Matte, transparent, colored, laser-engraved, sandblasted, painted, and even stained glass are used;
- such an ensemble visually noticeably enlarges the room, as it does not steal the perspective at all. And the ability of glass to reflect light enhances the effect;
- The glass structure of the simplest living room gives a spectacular look.
There are also disadvantages to this option:
- all the contents of shelves, chests of drawers, cabinets always remain in sight. Accordingly, constant maintenance of order is required;
- Glass also needs to be looked after more often. Not only dust or dirt is noticeable on the glass surface, but also fingerprints.
Glass is used in most cabinets made of wood, MDF or chipboard, as glass doors and display cases make the wall structure more interesting. But in such cases, glass is not considered as the main construction material.
Metal is most often found in glass slides, as it acts as the frame of cabinet furniture. Steel, aluminum, titanium, and more exotic alloys are used. Metal elements are often included in a wooden slide as decorative details.
The advantages and disadvantages of metal are obvious: the material is unusually durable, beautiful, and resistant to wear, but it is very heavy, expensive and cold. Accordingly, it is never used as a base material.
Corner wall for the living room. How to choose.
When preparing a room, you need to focus on the plan.

Before planning the interior design of a living room with a corner sofa, it is worth studying the dimensional parameters of different types of sofas.

The ottoman can be transformed into a sleeping place.
Corner walls for the living room
Many people think that walls are not suitable for a hall. However, if you choose the furniture well, the closet can serve as a keeper of important things.
If there is enough space in the living room, you can place a wall that is long with corner cabinets on the sides. Usually this is placed opposite the entrance, so as not to spoil the room. The price also depends on the design of the corner living room.
The newest corner living rooms have the opportunity to place corner cabinets in all corners of the room. The details of such cabinets are unique. This allows you to rearrange the doors so that operation is more convenient.

Varieties of slide design
A slide in the hall is an analogue of a modular living room that has been known for several decades. Unlike a standard wall, even in those days the slide contained a furniture complex of elements of different sizes, which made the finished ensemble more interesting and attractive.

A modern living room wall can include a wide variety of items depending on the purpose of the living room. That is, if the hall is combined with an office, the furniture module will include, for example, a bookcase or shelves and a secretary, and if it is intended for displaying collections, display cases and sideboards.

It is on this basis that slides are distinguished.
- Slides in the living room under TV are the most popular option today, since it is quite difficult to imagine a living room without a TV . The slide in this case includes a television stand or chest of drawers and shelves in order to correctly design the opening for the screen and ensure a convenient location of television peripherals. A distinctive feature of modern design is the possibility of asymmetry. In this case, it is not necessary to place the rack strictly in the center; the shelves above the monitor can be fixed offset, and the cabinets around the rack can be installed at different heights.

- A living room slide with a wardrobe is required when the mentioned item has nowhere else to be placed . The slide may include a wardrobe as the main element. The design of the model is determined by the style of the room.

- If the hall combines the functions of a living room and a dining room, the furniture complex includes sideboards, buffets and display cases . Such items require glazed or even open sections, allowing beautiful dishes and glass to be displayed in all their splendor. Illuminated models are especially impressive.

The buffet in such a slide has an unusual appearance. As a rule, this is a version of a wall cabinet with mirrored shelves and glass doors. To emphasize its purpose, under the closed section there is an open shelf, on which the hostess can actually place dishes with sweets, for example, during the reception.
- In the living room/office, the wall contains an element called a secretary : there is a folding tabletop, convenient enough to serve as a desk or even a computer desk for working with a laptop. The second required accessory is bookcases or shelves.

The workplace can be organized in a less conventional way. For example, one of the closed sections of the slide may include a niche with a folding tabletop and shelves.
- A slide in the living room with a computer desk is a variation of the previous option . Such a table should have quite impressive dimensions and be equipped with various additional compartments for computer peripherals. Most often there is a corner table and shelves for it, since in this way it is very easy to organize a practically isolated work area.
A common feature of modern slides is the presence of hanging elements, and these can be not only shelves, but also hanging cabinets and even console chests of drawers. Such a slide can consist of a variety of elements, but almost all of them are mounted on the wall.

When choosing, this feature should be taken into account. In a classic living room, console items are rarely found; here the display includes racks, display cases, a closet and shelves. But in the style of minimalism, techno or hi-tech, a suspended structure will be in place.
