How to choose furniture and hardware for decoration? What are the "inconspicuous" details that you must not ignore?

Hardware accessories are so important, how to choose them? Today, Bian Xiao will focus on the selection of hardware accessories. Hardware accessories can probably be divided into basic hardware, functional hardware and decorative hardware, of which the most important is basic hardware. After all, the basic hardware mainly carries the connection functions of furniture parts, such as hinges, rails, handles and so on. This is indispensable and an important part that is often used.

I. Hinge

Hinge is also called "hinge" by many people, but for wardrobes and cabinets, the importance of hinge is not just a pair of hinges. Hinges not only bear the responsibility of connecting cabinets and door panels, but also bear the weight of door panels. More importantly, an ordinary family needs to open and close the cabinet more than ten times a day, even more than twenty times, which is a test of the quality of hinges. If you don't choose a good hinge, it will not only affect the daily use experience, but even have a safety hazard that the cupboard door will fall off.

Select key points:

1. Give priority to the hinges of big brands, such as American Dupont hardware hinges, which can still be used normally after more than 50,000 opening and closing tests and are very durable.

2. For the special environment of the kitchen, which is humid and has a lot of oil smoke, the hardware fittings must be made of stainless steel or cold-rolled steel made of DuPont hardware ALICO electroplating process to prevent rust and corrosion.

3. Hinges are best matched with dampers to slow down the impact of fierce switch cabinet doors on the cabinet body, which is not only safe, but also silent and enhances the daily use experience.

Second, the slide rail

Sliding rails, also known as slideways and guide rails, are mainly used for drawer-type furniture or movable doors. No matter how beautiful the drawers and doors are, if the slide rails are not selected properly, it will not only affect the daily use experience, but also determine that the drawers and doors cannot be durable. There are many kinds of slide rails, but the main ones are side slide rails (two rails and three rails) and riding drawers. Like hinges, many sliding rails are damped at present, which can not only protect furniture, but also mute it, and prevent consumers from accidentally injuring themselves because of quick closing.

Select key points:

1, see damping. Sliding rails with damping are not much more expensive than sliding rails without damping. If it is used at home, it is recommended to use a damped slide rail for smoother flow.

2. It looks smooth. In the process of selecting the slide rail, you can push and pull it repeatedly to feel its smoothness, mainly because there is no sound and blockage.

3. Look at the load. When selecting the drawer slide rail, you can open the drawer, and then press the bottom rail appropriately to see if it is turned over or loose. If so, don't choose.

Third, deal with

If we say that the most common furniture hardware accessories are all kinds of handles, handles are mainly divided into three categories: external, hidden and embedded. Although the requirements for the handle are not as high as those of the hinge, the following points should also be considered.

1 material

The material of the handle is very diverse, including metal materials, such as stainless steel, copper, aluminum alloy and so on. Non-metallic materials, such as solid wood, plastic, leather, etc. Although the solid wood handle looks good, it is not moisture-proof, the plastic handle is relatively durable, and the leather handle is even worse. Therefore, the metal handle is more suitable on the whole.

Step 2 show up

The choice of handle mainly depends on the appearance. To match the overall home style, such as new Chinese style and Nordic style, you can use ceramic and solid wood handles, and modern, simple and luxurious styles can use alloy, copper and leather handles.

The quality of furniture is often hidden in "inconspicuous" small details. When you choose furniture, you must not ignore the importance of hardware accessories. It's best to ask the merchants what brand of hardware accessories they use.
