Spacious, home lighting and airy characterize contemporary decor. When we chose this style environments, there is the problem of storage, that is, all things that are part of our everyday life at home and always try to keep in store for keeping order.

The solution to all this is to have large furniture to become part of the architecture, optimizing space. We talk about the furniture-structure, those who are integrated into the wall, passing almost unnoticed and helping to get that feeling of space that we all want to have in our homes.

One of the most characteristic furniture of this type of structure is the closet. The main advantage of cupboards and wall to wall to ceiling, is that the disappearance of their volume, do not take up visual space. The integration will be complete if they are the same color as the wall and even better if no handles.

If you have a hole under the stairs, nothing better to seize the opportunity as a piece of furniture, painted white (or color of the wall) and snap closures (without handles), to pass unnoticed. To exploit the total fund is recommended that each module is removable.

In a small size bedroom, a headboard is ideal ability to gain extra storage space. This requires you to order a custom cabinet, where the integration of a bed. This should match in style and color with the front of cabinets.

Seize an existing wall to place a shelf, or if you want separate areas, up halfway up a wall or to ceiling with shelves of plasterboard, work or wood. Paint them the color of the wall to be integrated. This cabinet-structure will offer the same storage space than a bulky bookshelf and little space.

Special mention bookstores. If you are large, it is best to integrate them into the wall so it does not become the protagonists of the decoration. You paint the same color as the wall and avoid having rear. Remember that a symmetrical library provides a more orderly, however, if they are asymmetric, multiply the possibilities of storage shelves thanks to its variety of measures and adjustable. Another advantage of a floor to ceiling bookcase full of books and other objects, is that it serves as an excellent acoustic insulation.

Each room usually has one or more openings to the outside. These windows and openings form a luminous point of vital importance, but also result in exposure within the home.

Therefore, choosing the right shade for each room allows us to make a suitable income and appropriate filtering of sunlight, while endeavoring to preserve the privacy and intimacy of the environment while protecting them from inclement weather.
