What is modular furniture and why is it worth investing in?

Advantages of modular furniture: flexibility, functionality, aesthetics

What is modular furniture? This is a type of equipment that you can freely adapt to your needs: expand, introduce new elements that match the rest of the decor, arrange furniture in different configurations. An example of this is designer wall units, but not only. These can also be wardrobe systems, kitchen cabinets or office cabinets. By equipping a room with this type of modules, you are focusing on flexibility - you can reorganize the space at any time, add an additional module or change the furniture layout. Such personalization of the interior facilitates any future design metamorphoses, streamlines the process of furnishing the apartment and, most importantly, guarantees functionality and ergonomics.

When writing about modular systems, it is impossible not to mention their aesthetic values. They are distinguished by visual coherence, arrangement, and modern design. Many collections available in our store will appeal to lovers of minimalist, Scandinavian or loft style. You can create a set for a living room or other room yourself or decide on a ready-made set of furniture . Below we present several interesting arrangement proposals for every budget.

How to choose the right modular furniture?

Modular systems will work well in almost any interior. However, it is important to match the furniture to the nature of the arrangement and the specifics of the room.

Types of modular furniture (shelves, wardrobes, TV walls, lounge sets)

Among the many different offers of our store, you will find several types of modular furniture. The most popular are modular wall units, i.e. comprehensive equipment for the living and relaxation zone. With their help, you can arrange a stylish TV wall and dining corner. An example is the CALABRIA collection, available in several color variants. Hanging and standing cabinets, display cabinets, chests of drawers, RTV models can be freely adjusted to the size of the living room. The configuration of individual elements is optional, which greatly facilitates the process of furnishing an interior with non-standard dimensions, with niches or slopes. CALABRIA furniture is distinguished by its simple design, geometric shape and lightness (most modules are suspended). It is worth equipping display cabinets with glass with energy-saving LED lighting, which will introduce a pleasant, intimate atmosphere.

Modular furniture also includes lounge sets, including collections that allow you to freely connect sofa seats, depending on the size of the relaxation area. A huge advantage of this solution is that if you want to expand your relaxation in the future, you can buy an additional module and that's it!

The same applies to storage furniture. Modular wardrobes are a great option for a bedroom, dressing room or hallway. Have you added more things? Simply expand your wardrobe by adding additional shelves, a hanging rail, or an extension. Modular systems grow with your needs.

Materials used (wood, furniture board, glass)

Natural wood, laminated and MDF furniture board, glass, and metal are typically used to produce this type of home furnishings. The board is a cheaper alternative to solid beech or oak, looks just as good, and is highly resistant to damage. An example is the versatile KARL shelves in an oak shade, made of high-quality wood-like materials. They will perfectly complement a home library, living room, or child's room. You can freely combine them, creating a harmonious whole that matches the aesthetics of the room.

Furniture style (modern, classic, Scandinavian)

Interior design with modular furniture:

Planning the room layout and zoning the space

Interior design should meet the expectations of the household, harmonize with individual preferences and provide comfort. Planning the space in which the modular system is to be located should start by dividing the interior into zones: relaxation, dining, kitchenette, reading corner, etc. Only then can the arrangement of individual pieces of furniture be adjusted. The media wall will have an RTV module and storage cabinets. In the dining room, a system of chests of drawers and glass display cases with the option of displaying things will be useful. In the bookcase, on the other hand, a mandatory element of the decor will be modular shelves - expanding with the increase in the number of volumes.

Selection of colours and materials

Currently, earthy colors and everything natural are extremely fashionable. Furniture in the shade of wood, wicker accessories, linen curtains or a jute carpet will perfectly complement a project maintained in the spirit of eco, boho, japandi or urban jungle. For lovers of interior eclecticism, we recommend chests of drawers, cabinets and coffee tables in expressive colors, perfectly corresponding with eco elements.

Our hearts have also been stolen by modern minimalism, light colors of furniture and accessories (beiges, grays, white, blurred pastels), as well as thick upholstery fabrics. You can also opt for expressive maximalism bathed in dark colors of green, navy blue or burgundy broken with gold or black accents.

Modular furniture in different rooms:

Living room – the center of family life

Elegant modular furniture for a room will emphasize the style of the interior, while ensuring functionality. This is especially important in the living room, where we spend most of the day. It is where we host friends and relax, so the right arrangement will create optimal living conditions. An example is the BORA collection, which includes hanging cabinets, glass display cabinets with LEDs, coffee tables, chests of drawers and much more. You can buy a ready-made furniture set or complete your own. Even more - you have the possibility to expand and change the furniture layout, if necessary. The BORA line is characterized by a simple shape, handleless fronts, ease of use and and interesting colors. It is an ideal solution for a stylish loft, modern apartment or cozy flat, where wood plays a key role.

Bedroom – an oasis of relaxation

Modular wardrobes with a huge amount of storage space are great for bedrooms. They can function as a wardrobe that can hold clothes, seasonal clothing, coats, jackets, shoes, styling accessories, and a lot of other things (exercise accessories, ironing board, underwear, toys, home textiles, etc.). This type of wardrobe often reaches all the way to the ceiling.

In a small room, modular cabinets mounted on the entire wall above the bed or around the door or window will also be useful. In this way, you will make maximum use of vertical space. Such a structure can be integrated with a dressing table, open shelves or bedside tables. In a small space, light-coloured furniture will work well, as it will optically brighten and enlarge the room.

Children's room - a space for play and learning

Modular furniture for a child's room will be a bull's eye not only due to its aesthetic value, but also due to its endless arrangement possibilities. Once purchased, the set will serve for years, and when the need arises to refresh the interior, you can buy additional elements from a given collection. One of the proposals is the CARA line, which combines Arctic white with the warm shade of Wotan oak. Here you will find shelves, chests of drawers, wardrobes, shelves, desks, and even beds and bedside tables. Individual elements placed right next to each other will create a compact structure that can be easily modified. Thanks to the appropriate dimensions of the furniture, you can easily fit it into the interior design of the room, using a niche, a slope or unused space behind the door or under the window. There is no room for randomness here, which is why modular furniture for a child's room is designed in such a way as to effectively use every free space in a small room.

Kitchen - functionality and style

Modular kitchen systems are already a standard. They make the arrangement much easier, speed up the furnishing process and allow for optimal use of the interior.
