A couple of decades back, the furniture we’ve had at our houses was way simpler and devoid of the amenities we can find in them nowadays. The designers and customers themselves can choose from many furniture types as well as the components available, making the cabinets, drawers, and wardrobes more functional and aesthetic. Below you can find a list of the most commonly used furniture components and short information on when to use them.
Facades
The facades are those furniture components we can see first when we enter the room. Those are the cabinet fronts or countertops placed on kitchen furniture. They are important, because first of all, we want the whole furniture to look good. But what is more – they should also be durable in order to provide us with durability and resistance to damage that we expect from them.
Hardware
The furniture hardware is metal, wood, plastic, or any other kind of material pieces of the whole furniture, which make it usable and aesthetic. Those can be legs, but also handles and many more pieces used to prepare pretty and functional furniture pieces.
We can separate the cabinet hardware into movable, detachable ones and one-piece mergers, like nails or screws. All of the pieces are needed in order to get the furniture working. The number of hardware needed in a particular piece of furniture depends mainly on how it will be used and the necessary functions.
Mechanisms
Currently, when creating many types of furniture, their designers, as well as people dealing with the final creation, can take advantage of many options that give the furniture exactly the functions that we expect from them. Among the most popular types of lifts, we can indicate:
– foldable ones, commonly used in multi-level or double-leaf cabinets;
– vertical ones, enabling the lifting of the furniture casing elements at any level of the entire structure. Some of them can rotate and stop in any position chosen by the user;
– mechanical – they allow you to open the doors of the cabinets, regardless of whether they are located low or high;
– gas lifts – make it easier to open and close cabinets. This is a special convenience for people who are too short to open and close the doors of wardrobes or kitchen cabinets comfortably
Accessories
Last but not least, among all of the components that can be used to prepare furniture, we can’t forget about the accessories. You can find a huge variety of those at Furnica – many of them equally functional and aesthetic. Among them, there are furniture legs, which can help us make the whole thing higher, the LED lighting systems (especially usable in big wardrobes and in kitchens, where we usually have a set of cabinets suspended above the tabletop, providing storage space, but also cutting off access to light) and many more.
Choosing the right accessories can be a huge advantage in the upcoming months and years when we will use the furniture. That’s why it’s so important to get the best quality and also the most suitable functionality.
