Suspended Stay

Suspended living room: the ideal solution for small spaces

Suspended living room furniture is the perfect solution for all small to medium sized houses and especially for studios because they have the great advantage of not cluttering the floor.

When space is scarce, every square meter of the house must be exploited to the fullest, otherwise the result will be an impractical house; Consequently, it is a good idea to first evaluate and plan how and how to furnish the spaces available.

When choosing suspended solutions, you must be sure to have a sufficiently resistant wall, so that in addition to the weight of the cabinets or wall units, it is always necessary to consider the weight of the full load of the same.

Suspended living room: that feeling of lightness

The piece of furniture not resting on the ground offers solutions of great optical impact where the elements fixed to the wall seem like paintings, impossible not to be noticed. ...
The suspended furniture due to the absence of feet and floor support structures give movement and modernity to the living room.

A composition of the elements made in a workmanlike manner gives the whole suspended living room great lightness, and where the design can express itself in all its forms according to one's taste.

Single or multi-element composition for the suspended living room

The choice of the suspended living room furniture because of its visual immediacy offers the possibility of practically having two ways of composition: single composition and composition with several elements.

Single composition: it is essentially composed of single elements such as a console, a sideboard , horizontal or vertical containers , i.e. each piece is delegated its own functionality.
Composition with several elements: in practice this type of arrangement has the same characteristics of modularity and functionality as the “classic” equipped wall .

In both versions, the absence of feet and floor support structures and the modern design of the suspended furniture attract the eye to those who enter the living room.

Design and the "magic" of the suspended

There is no doubt that the suspended furniture attracts the eye of those who enter the living room and find themselves in front of this style of furniture, as if the house were enveloped by that magical feeling.

This "magic" is perceived all the more when the design is refined: made of colors, in a play of shapes between full and empty, high quality materials of various kinds; metals, woods and hand-worked glass with refined finishes, and wisely combined with each other.

In the suspended living room, the wall units are the fundamental elements that compose it, originally conceived for bathroom furnishings because of its design, nowadays conceived for the “heart” area of the house: the living room.

Integrate and combine colors and materials

The choice of combinations between colors and materials plays an indispensable role in the furnishing project of every modern living room, this furniture allows ample freedom of action in the combination of tones, sometimes even very bold contrasts, but with an aesthetic result of our environments more lively and welcoming. In the furnishing of a living room, “earth” colors are currently preferred, such as the different shades of Brown, Grays and all the variations that can be obtained by mixing these colors.

In large surfaces, such as walls and ceilings, light colors are to be preferred, more or less bright depending on the exposure and personal tastes: white, white shaded in color, warm gray, light hemp. Dark colors such as dark gray or brown can also be safely used for walls but you have to be careful and avoid making them overwhelming.

Given the multiple functions of the living room, in fact, the wall to which a sofa, table or piece of furniture is placed can be enlivened with a stronger color (brown, dark blue, dark green). Regarding the materials; such as woods, lacquers, mortars, metals, etc., are intended for furniture and fabrics for sofas and armchairs and for upholstery. Bright colors such as yellow, red or orange will have to color small surfaces and easily replaceable accessories such as a carpet, curtains, sofa cushions and knick-knacks.

Maximize the use of empty spaces

To make the most of the space inside a living room is not to underestimate the spaces to be left empty and available for passage, compared to those you intend to occupy with the furniture. Often in small apartments, to exploit all the available surface to the last centimeter, the entrance and corridor no longer exist, their walls have been demolished to optimize space.

In a modern living room, empty spaces become more important than its own furniture, which is why it is essential to avoid the clutter of furniture. To give some measures between the functional spaces of the living room in general; to pass around the living room there should be a minimum width of 90 cm, ie between the main furniture and the coffee table.

With very limited spaces, having to include the dining area in the living room, you need at least 80/90 cm more, to be left free around the table to sit and be able to walk around. While for the other passages, towards the kitchen and the sleeping area, the minimum width must not fall below 90 cm, even if the measurement of 1.20 meters would actually be the minimum recommended.
