Plasterboard structures in the design of a modern interior

Drywall is a versatile material for creating all kinds of designs in the interior, as well as furniture. The use of gypsum sheets is not limited to the alignment of walls and ceilings. They are also used for the construction of complex partitions, arches and niches with shelves. Most of these structures are hollow, and the basis for them is a metal frame.

Drywall is a material with which you can not only eliminate defects in the interior and hide communications, but also create original design details.

Another “trend” in the world of interior design is practical and inexpensive, but at the same time very impressive furniture made of plasterboard. It can be niches, racks and shelves of various shapes and sizes. Some even decide on a mini-wall for a living room with a stand for a TV or a bar.

Please note that if you plan to use plasterboard furniture for rooms where there are frequent changes in humidity and temperatures (for example, in the kitchen or bathroom), then by all means choose moisture-proof or fire-resistant sheets GKLV (ГКЛВ or ГКЛО).

In a similar way, you will be able to make a niche for a washing machine or sink, and even a kitchen work area.

The design of the bar stand made of plasterboard is particularly popular in the design of a separate kitchen or a kitchen combined with the living room. You can create it literally in one day without much effort and financial investments.

For the construction of the frame of the bar counter, a one-piece profile is used. According to the step-by-step instructions, two walls are notched, and the rest of the drywall is folded in a straight line and secured by the interceptors. Both perimeters of the walls are securely fastened to the floor by means of a transverse profile and intersectors.
