How to Choose the Right Wall Unit?

The first area that appears to our eyes when we enter a house is usually the living room. The layout, the colors and materials of furniture in the living room are the elements that communicate at first sight the character of the house and its owners.

The living room, and in general the living area, is the space of sharing and conviviality: this is where the family gets together at the end of the day, relax after a week of work, watch TV, and welcomes friends and family to chat on the couch or enjoy coffee together around the table.

When we design our living room, the first and most important aspect that we must consider is the use we make of this room and the fact that here we spend most of our time. Depending on our habits and our needs, the focus will be on the relaxation area (sofa and armchairs), the dining table or the entertainment equipment (TV or home theater).
Let's see what are the different solutions, with a focus on the choice of the wall system.

Solution # 1: Emphasis on alignment and symmetry

If the aesthetic and visual aspect is important to us, the first thing we have to focus on is the mood that we want to give to the environment: formal or casual?
If we look for a formal atmosphere, we should opt for a symmetrical and regular arrangement, choosing furniture that can be coupled (eg, two sofas of the same size to be arranged opposite one another) and placing all the elements - chairs, lamps, decorations - in a balanced, symmetrical way. On the contrary, if we want to give a more relaxed and casual look to the room, we have to play with the asymmetrical elements, mixing different styles (eg vintage and contemporary).

Solution # 2: Emphasis on conversation

If conversation and gatherings represent for us the most important functions of the living area, we have to ensure that the decor of the room is arranged so that people can walk around, not through, the conversation areas. Chairs and sofa should be grouped together and arranged in a circle, with a central element that can be a rug, a coffee table or an ottoman.

Solution # 3: Emphasis on family life

For those who have children, it is very important to create an environment suitable for the kids, where you can relax with the whole family without fear of the dangers posed by sharp and breakable objects. In this case, we can design an arrangement in which the spaces for children and for adults are defined by a "natural boundary" as an ottoman or a sofa. A carpet and a storage unit for storing toys will complete the room.

Solution # 4: Emphasis on focal point

A focal point can be a TV, a fireplace, a library or any item you want to be the “star” of the room. The conversation area will not be arranged in a circle but will be open in a semicircle, the attention is focused to a point of the room. Furniture suitable for this solution are chairs with wheels that can be easily moved, ottoman and large pillows for relaxation.

Focus on wall systems: how to choose the best for you

The wall system is a very important element in the living room. Depending on how it is conceived and organized, it can meet various needs and reflect personal tastes and styles.
The wall system exploits the space vertically, allowing to save space in the room.
The wall system is usually available in modular solutions and is extremely versatile, allowing to choose lines, colors and style, and customize the alternation between full and empty spaces.

To choose a wall system that really meets our needs, we need to consider a few points:

• Will the TV be placed on a shelf or attached to a panel? In this case, the panel must be fixed or removable and adjustable?
• Will the wall system contain objects? How many and what kind? Do we prefer closed doors hinged, folding or sliding?
• Should the wall system also serve as a work-station? What types of shelves do we need? Do we alse need a desk, maxi-shelves and compartments?
