Put a comma on your own! How do you put the equipment in a traditional interior? Designers define three methods.
Take over the experience
Underline, disguise or hide? Everything depends on the style of the interior of your house - cold high-tech, restrained minimalism or traditional coziness.
TV
♦ How to emphasize For the kitchen - this is one of the best options. All modern kitchen appliances have an expressive design, so if you pick up everything in one style, for example with metal surfaces, it's easy to develop a high-tech style.
♦ How to disguise If you arrange your workspace in the kitchen as a traditional buffet, then the cooker and hood will become the logical center of this design. In the deep cupboards in the upper part small equipment will fit, and behind the false doors at the bottom there will be hidden the oven and washing machine. Kitchen cabinets will be placed in drawers.
♦ How to hide For small appliances, the closet-column in the general interior style is best. Here you can store devices that you do not use every day, but still keep in the kitchen. If we still can not get rid of the cooker in the kitchen, small appliances can be hidden behind a false panel, which is arranged in the form of horizontal blinds. Rising, it opens access to a spacious functional repository.
TV
♦ How to emphasize Place on a background of a bright wall or among shelves with books - simple and elegant. Make a bright mosaic panel with an internal illumination in front of the TV of the same size. And do not forget about the rules of fire safety: the sockets should be easily accessible.
♦ How to disguise A large, flat screen can be curtained with a cloth that fits your drapes. Also, the screen can be hidden behind a panel or picture on the bracket, which simply slide to the side, opening the screen. Or arrange in the room a large niche with blinds hiding its contents. The screen in this frame will look original.
♦ How to hide The volumetric, not flat screen TV can be put on a special shelf in the closet. Behind the panel door, you can install all the equipment, shelves for cassettes and disks, and when you do not need it all, the technique will be closed. The TV perfectly fits in a niche with a bar door or in a similar locker bar.
MUSIC CENTER
♦ Highlight one wall for creating artificial niches of different sizes and configurations. When installing, determine where and what exactly will stand to properly place the sockets, leave the outputs for the cords. Then arrange the niches for the details of the music system and other household items.
♦ How to disguise On the shelf with a large number of books, you can not immediately look at the speakers and the music center, but you will put the center itself where you prefer, and rearrange it at your discretion.
♦ How to hide Columns you can not hide - the sound should not encounter obstacles in its path. Because choose those that look good in your interior. But the system itself can be hidden anywhere. The main thing is not to close your access to the management.
