Cabinet Features
There are several main nuances:
- In order to make the cabinet look less massive, you can decorate it to match the walls.
- In a room with low ceilings, it is better to install narrower structures that will visually increase the height.
- A small room should not be decorated with too bulky and large models.
- If the design around the window will not perform a serious functional load, you can use more concise and elegant cabinets.
- On the balcony or loggia, combined with the internal space, using the built-in models, it turns out to zoning the room.

Window Options
Window furniture has several functional areas. The layout of the products depends on the size of the room and the overall design intent.
On both sides
Symmetrically located products can be open or closed. If the window is not placed in the center, choose asymmetric structures, for example, in the form of a wardrobe and shelving.
Corner cupboard
This model is perfect for filling corners, especially in a small room. Such cabinets most often perform a decorative rather than a practical function, but at the same time they are a fairly capacious structure, characterized by an ergonomic shape.
In the center of the window
In the area under the window, it is also easy to place a cabinet, which can turn into a comfortable place to sit or work area. The main thing with this arrangement is that the warm air from the radiator freely penetrates into the room. No less interesting are the designs in the form of a mezzanine above the window opening, however, with a low height of the ceilings, this solution will not be entirely appropriate. In this case, in the upper part of the window opening, it is better to hang curtains or construct a plasterboard box for lighting.
Between the Windows
A sliding wardrobe or built-in model, which as if merges with the plane and does not visually stand out against the general interior background, will fit into the wall especially harmoniously.
