Innovative Home Decor: Suspended Cabinet Pieces
Believe it or not, furniture such as TV stands, desks, and bedside tables can now float in mid-air! Recently, the suspended design, which combines aesthetic appeal, practicality, and storage, has taken the home design world by storm, winning the hearts of both designers and homeowners.
While this may sound like a mystical concept, the design is actually achieved through pre-embedded reinforcement during construction, giving the impression of a suspended effect for tables, cabinets, and desk tops. This innovative design makes the space look more airy and transparent, highlighting the ceiling height, and the suspended areas are free from dead corners, making cleaning a breeze. It's suitable for both large and small spaces.
Of course, suspended design is not limited to cabinets. Some special shapes can also be achieved through suspension, such as partition walls, background walls, fireplaces, dining tables, and ceilings. So, what are the popular suspended designs of today? Let's take a look at some specific case designs.
For smaller apartments, a wall-sized TV cabinet can feel overwhelming. A floating TV cabinet is a sleek and lightweight alternative that effectively reduces the heavy feeling of the room, simplifies the design, and increases the space for activities. It adds a touch of sophistication to the living room and is especially popular among young people.
The height of the cabinet can be adjusted according to personal preferences, but it is recommended to suspend the cabinet at least 10 centimeters above the ground to facilitate the robot's cleaning under the cabinet.
2. Floating TV Wall
The floating design is not limited to cabinets. Using a floating TV wall as a space divider is a popular trend that can greatly enhance the overall look of your home.
Before starting the renovation, it is important to plan and determine the location, height, and material of the TV wall. For wider TV walls, it is important to consider the weight-bearing capacity and design support points on the ground.
In addition to being suspended between the floor and ceiling, the TV wall can also be fixed to the ceiling. However, if the TV wall is large and heavy, such as made of stone, rock panel or ceramic tile, it is recommended to use a drywall backing with lightweight steel joists and expansion screws to increase its stability.
3.Floating Desk
Working from home has become a common practice during the pandemic. A comfortable and cozy workspace can greatly enhance the work-at-home experience. For families who value space-saving and personalization, a floating desk that integrates with bookshelves or display cabinets can be an excellent option. The desk can be mounted on the wall using expansion screws to achieve the floating effect. It is strong enough to bear the weight and can be designed at a height of around 75-80 centimeters. The simple design takes up minimal space and makes the room feel more spacious.
If the window view is pleasant, a floating desk can also be placed by the window, unlocking various uses for the window sill, and allowing homeowners to enjoy the beautiful scenery while working.
The floating effect can also be applied to various cabinet types such as bedside tables and vanity cabinets.
4. Wall-mounted Nightstand
Traditional nightstands often take up a lot of space and lack personality and style. Nowadays, young people have subtracted from the traditional design by hanging the nightstand on the wall. With a customized integration into the background wall, it looks neat, uniform, and exudes a sense of sophistication.
When paired with a wall-mounted dressing table, green plants, a mirror, and some beloved objects, the simple and personalized design of the wall-mounted nightstand brings together functionality and aesthetics.
With three simple shelves suspended at the bedside, the nightstand can also function as a desk, providing a convenient space for reading or working before bed. However, it's important to note that the shelves are fixed to the wall with nails and should not hold too much weight.
5. Wall-mounted Vanity
The wall-mounted vanity has become increasingly popular in recent years. Not only is it highly fashionable, but it also effectively reduces moisture, making it easy to clean and practical. The height of the countertop is generally set at around 75-90cm from the ground, depending on the height and habits of the household members.
The main benefit of a wall-mounted design in a bathroom is not only its visual appeal, but also its ease of cleaning. The biggest headache in the bathroom is often odor and hygiene issues, but a wall-mounted vanity makes it easier to clean hard-to-reach areas.
