New Trend: Doors and Furniture in One Style

At iSaloni 2019 in Milan, experts clearly identified a new trend in interior design — harmonious combination of all textures and elements. It's no surprise that today, a holistic approach to selecting doors, furniture, and finishing materials is gaining popularity. We talked about this with UNION and learned what new innovations and modern solutions can be used to bring this trend into life.

What is the essence? A trendy and modern interior is simplicity of forms and multifunctionality. Creating such a home has become much easier.

It's hard to find furniture in a recently renovated apartment that fits both in size, function, and style. Often you have to compromise — either with discomfort or higher cost. With a holistic approach, you can develop all necessary furniture, built-in elements, and doors during the design phase, which will perfectly complement each other and match the interior style.

For example, aluminum is the main connecting element in the entire UNION range. It's precisely the shade of this metal in door constructions, furniture, and decor that gives the interior a sense of completion and harmony.

Moreover, doors and furniture can be made from aluminum of the same color to further enhance the sense of spatial unity, or they can be contrasted. For example, UNION offers nine color options for aluminum profiles.

Examples of UNION aluminum shades:
Black Sand
Champagne Bright
White Matt
Bronze Matt

For which interiors is this suitable?

Minimalists will appreciate invisible ceiling doors, baseboards, and minimalist aluminum furniture in one-color finishing.

Glass wardrobes, open shelves, and sliding partitions are perfect in loft-style interiors. They help zone open spaces into functional areas without losing natural light.

Mirrors and unique screen panels, display cabinets, and consoles — including floating ones with hidden lighting — can become key focal points in modern interiors.

Total Look

If we make doors suitable for specific walls, why not make those very walls too?

Maximum harmony in an interior can be achieved by choosing a single material for both walls and doors. To this end, UNION specially developed a collection of wall panels — made from veneer, paint, natural and artificial stone.

It looks unusual and stylish in such panels to feature interior doors that blend into the wall. To achieve this effect, a special hidden frame is built into them. This frame can be of standard size or custom-fitted to the ceiling, which is especially useful in low-ceiling rooms.

What else should you pay attention to when creating a harmonious interior?

For example, in the living room you could choose a suspended console that appears weightless and light due to hidden lighting and mounting. Place elegant shelves for books and memorabilia on top. Or a pair of elegant glass display cases with shelf illumination. A stylish display case with sliding drawers would also fit well in a living room, dining room, or office.
