Color features

Not every house today has a bookcase for bleached oak. This original shade is chosen by courageous people with a subtle sense of style, sophisticated taste. White furniture is able to endow space with lightness, conciseness, comfort, positive atmosphere. She looks solemn, elegant, magnificent, but, at the same time, elegant and strict. The bookcase of such a color scheme in the living room, bedroom, nursery and teenager's room is relevant. Even a study can be ennobled if you select for it a successful model of such furniture. It is for these reasons that milky-colored bookcases have so many fans today.

But there are people who do not imagine their home with such furniture. Many are frightened by the thought of the difficulty of combining this shade with other colors in the interior. A milky shade can be combined with different colors and their shades in the decoration of walls, floors and ceilings. It is great for creating contrasting tandems with black, red, blue. Against its background, looks golden, silver decor, wood carving in the case of wooden furniture.

Also, with the help of a milk cabinet for storing books, you can create harmonious bright interiors, complementing milk furniture with delicate beige, olive, gold shades of wallpaper or decorative plaster. A wooden bookcase also fits perfectly on surfaces made of glass, ceramic, metal.

Materials of manufacture

The modern bookcase bleached oak has a huge variation in design: changing forms, accessories, additional elements. But the materials from which such furniture is made today are unchanged for half a century. We list the most popular of them.

Material	Advantages	disadvantages
Natural wood	Naturalness, the absence of synthetic components in the composition of wood that can harm human health. Wood has a characteristic odor, looks incredibly expensive, and serves for many years without losing the main operating parameters.	The high price limits the circle of buyers of furniture in light shades of solid wood. Also its cumbersomeness, irrelevance for small spaces, heavy weight, and exacting care are its disadvantages.
MDF	Despite the fact that MDF does not have a very long service life, this material is very much in demand today. The advantages of MDF are a wide variety of textures of white MDF, its ability to copy the aesthetics of other materials, affordable cost.	MDF is afraid of hanging moisture, from contact with water for a long time the facades can swell, veneer will peel off from them.
Chipboard	A very common and affordable material, which is often used for the manufacture of inexpensive furniture for residential premises. It features an interesting aesthetics.	Particleboard is characterized by the lowest resistance to wear when compared with natural wood or MDF. Moisture, contact with direct sunlight for a long time can adversely affect the quality of the surface of the chipboard.

Craftsmen today create with their own hands original models of bookcases and cabinets from original materials. For example, the creation of a bookcase from pallets is very interesting. Materials such as plastic or metal are no less popular today, but bookcases made of them are too unusual in appearance, expensive, and low in prevalence.

What styles suits

The relevance of the white bookcase in many areas of the design of residential premises is not in doubt. But it is important to understand how to fit such furniture into a specific stylistic direction of the decor. We describe some of the most interesting options:

antique style - the design of a white bookcase for such an interior should not be too complicated. The simple form distinguishes furniture that is relevant for this style in the living room, bedroom. Smooth lines, the absence of sharp corners, elegant decor - all this should be reflected in the design of the bookcase in the antique style. Choose a luxurious model with elegant aesthetics to get a sophisticated living room or study;
classic - in the classic interior should be wooden furniture bleached oak, complemented by fittings of the same stylistic direction and laconic decor (wood carving, baguettes and so on). The cabinet should be distinguished by elegant lines, luxurious decor, solidity and grandeur. It must certainly fit the wall decoration, which is most often performed in noble colors. As a result, the interior should turn out to be a balanced, not overloaded decor;
loft - bookcases for books of white color, by the way, are suitable for a laconic and unusual style called loft. But for such an interior, you should not choose bulky models with curved legs. Attention is a model of a compact size of a suspended type or on wheels with wheels. Space and a craving for freedom of movement are those features that loft-style living rooms have. For this reason, bookcases for such spaces should be weightless, lightweight, not overloading the space with unnecessary decor;
minimalism - a bookcase in the style of minimalism - a simple design without any decor. Handles on the facade of such furniture are best selected mortise, so that nothing protrudes above the surface of the doors. As for the cabinet surface itself, for a small room, choose glossy facades that visually expand the narrow space;

And for such decor styles as Gothic, African style or American country, it is not worth choosing such furniture. In the best case, you get a harmonious interior, in the worst - a vulgar bedroom, living room or study.

Care Rules

As many users think, a bookcase with bleached oak requires special care, because it has a very light color scheme, which quickly becomes stained. In addition, many people think that dust is too noticeable on such a surface. In fact, the white color is no less practical than, for example, wenge, on which traces of touching a person’s hand are too noticeable. With sufficient care, white surfaces will retain their original beauty, conciseness, and subtle style for a long time. What does that require?

Remove dust regularly from the surface of the bookcase, for which you can use a soft cloth. If a greasy stain forms on the cabinet shelf, it can be removed using textiles slightly moistened with a solution of soapy water. If the cabinet has a polished surface, be sure to clean it from time to time with a special polishing agent. This will allow the bookcase to shine like the day it was purchased. If the design contains glass facades, shelves, it is better to wipe them with a special composition for glasses or mirrors, which will avoid the appearance of stains on the glass.

Refuse to use aggressive compositions based on alkalis or acids, which can corrode the lacquer, to permanently ruin the exterior aesthetics of the tree for the care of a white wooden cabinet. Such substances are no less harmful for surfaces made of MDF or particleboard.

The nuances of choice

If family members have decided to choose a beautiful bookcase for bleached oak books for the home, they should get acquainted with the advice from experienced professionals in the field of furniture production. They will tell you what to look for, so that the bookcase for a long time pleases the household with its beauty, practicality, and resistance to wear.

Choose only the bookcase for the quality and manufacturer of which you are fully confident. Products without a certificate of quality or with documents that show discrepancies with the enclosed cabinet model are not worth your attention. Most likely, the price of such furniture does not match its quality, and the service life of interior items will be short-lived. Particular attention should be paid to the quality of the fittings used, fasteners, fixing elements for facades, drawers, shelves. They must be durable, resistant to wear and tear, then the safety level of the cabinet will be satisfactory.

Inspect surfaces for defects (chips, cracks, uneven varnish, color differences, and so on). Their presence indicates a violation of the technology of manufacturing furniture, its short service life.

When choosing a bookcase in bright colors, start from the stylistic direction in which the space is finished. This color scheme is universally and successfully combined with many colors and textures, but with the thoughtless combination of a large number of colors in one space, you can create a flashy interior without a hint of style or elegance.

It is desirable that all the furniture in the room is in harmony in design and color. To achieve this fully, pick up a whole headset with a bookcase. The combination of interior items with different aesthetics in one room will be successful only with an experienced designer.
