Advantages of a sliding wardrobe: do you need it?
Regular furniture set to choose or give preference to the wardrobe? Each of us may face such a choice.
A stand-alone cabinet with a hinged door system that comes with a bed, a chest of drawers and other pieces of furniture can look very impressive.
Why are more and more people prefer wardrobes? It is all about their undeniable merits:
- the possibility of choosing absolutely any design;
- you can install the correctly selected model in any, even small room; visually, you can even increase the space;

return to menu ↑The main features of the design
Faced with the choice of purchasing the cabinet, it is important to determine its appearance. Each model from a wide range of varieties has its own peculiarities and nuances.
Currently, it is customary to divide cabinets by the following parameters:
- By configuration (radius, rectangular, angular).
- On external equipment (with a mirror, plexiglass, etc.).
- On the device (built-in or detached).
- Built-in or freestanding: choose the best
By configuration, the cabinets of the compartment are divided into two main types:
- standing alone;
- embedded
Of these, built-in models are the most popular. This option is ideal if the bedroom has a niche.
By arranging a built-in closet in a room with a niche, we save space, make the room more harmonious, and remove all the excess from the eyes.
The profitability of this solution will also be a plus, because the cabinet already has three walls, the bottom is the floor, and the ceiling plays the role of the top cover.
It remains only to equip it, breaking into sections and add a sliding mechanism.
Unlike its built-in counterpart, a free-standing wardrobe is a representative of cabinet furniture that has all the corresponding structural elements.
This closet is mobile: it can be moved to another place, with it you can move to another apartment.
return to menu ↑Configuration choice: do you have space for a cabinet?
Even in a small bedroom you can find a place for a built-in wardrobe. This is achieved by selecting the model of the desired configuration.
Rectangular models
The most popular are rectangular models that are conveniently installed in the natural niches of the room or placed along one of the walls.
Corner models
Based on the availability of free space in the bedroom, the appropriate model is selected, which can be not only rectangular, but also angular.
This technique allows you to use literally every square centimeter of a room.
In many cases, the corner model is complemented by comfortable open shelves and side drawers. With the apparent small size, the corner cabinet is very roomy.
Radius models
What is a radial cabinet? Its difference from a corner is a more rounded outer part. The unusual shape, combining smooth curves, looks very elegant and spectacular.
This can affect the visual perception of space, eliminating the clear lines of the walls.
The cost of radius models is usually higher than that of rectangular and similar angular ones. But their showiness and singularity can be the highlight of the room.
The space at the same time is used as efficiently as possible, thanks to the design features.
return to menu ↑Features of the choice of material
Modern requirements for the design of the premises allow the use of a combination of different materials when creating cabinets.
Wood, MDF, chipboard - in search of the golden mean
The least likely to meet cabinets made of solid wood. This is a rather expensive material that is considered too heavy and bulky for wardrobes, although it is distinguished by high environmental friendliness.
Popular and more preferred in this case becomes particleboard and MDF. For furniture, laminated chipboard is most often used, which has the following advantages:
- democratic value;
- wide range of colors;
- strength.
If you compare it with MDF, it can be noted that chipboard is cheaper. At the same time MDF has a lot of advantages, including length of service.
Mirrors
If in the closet of a door the height of the ceiling to the ceiling, then such a large vertical plane simply needs to be used qualitatively.
In the manufacture of the cabinet very often mirrors are used on the doors. So the furniture gets additional functionality, and the bedroom - a visual expansion of the space.
Materials for registration
For the design of door panels, different material is used in color, quality and composition:
- mirror inserts;
- rattan;
- bamboo;
- plastic;
- glass, etc.
An expensive and effective option for the design of facades is the use of stained glass and laser engraving on glass. The budget option - polymers (camelite and acrylic).
return to menu ↑The decor of the facade dictates the style of the bedroom
Aesthetics require careful and careful selection of the facade of the closet compartment.Therefore, sliding doors can be as concise, literally merging with the walls.
So with authentic works of art - colorful and eye-catching. In ordinary apartments, the truth lies somewhere in the middle between these two extremes.
The style of the room determines the presence of the decor. The most popular are now considered modern and classic style.
For a classic bedroom, for example, decorative elements must comply with a strict directivity:
- curbs;
- frescoes;
- wooden mosaic;
- columns.
The facade of the closet for a modern bedroom can be enlivened by the following techniques:
- patterns, including floristic, curly on mirrors;
- frosted glass;
- use of plexiglass;
- photo printing.
Oriental patterns on the facades - a common solution. But so that in the interior such a wardrobe does not look alien, the rest of the furniture should also be designed in the theme of China or Japan. What wardrobe will be the most concise? The one that is made for the bedroom in a minimalist style.
This direction is extremely rarely chosen by a woman. The restraint of forms and clarity of lines combined with the smoothness of surfaces and the lack of decoration.
return to menu ↑Facade material
The facade is chosen taking into account the design of the bedroom and its colors. Much attention is paid to this point, as the closet will occupy a significant place. And its facades - a large area.
Chipboard
This option is chosen by the designer in cases where the cabinet doors need to give texture to wood. Among the advantages of chipboard:
- resistance to fading;
- duration of use;
- resistance to temperature extremes.
Leather
Such an option - expensive, designed for richly furnished rooms in a concise, but at the same time elegant style.
The severity and showiness emphasize the individuality of the design and the taste of the owners of the house. Of the advantages: long service life, good compatibility with materials such as wood and mirrors.
Lacomat
The facade with a lacquered finish and matte sheen is one of the fashionable options. In this case, the interior of the bedroom becomes more refined.
Lakomat well with various elements for decoration - wood, mirrors, various inserts.
Mirrors
This is one of the most popular design options. Visually increases the size of the bedroom.
Lakobel
This material is a colored glass, which is covered with a film on the reverse side. This technique makes the image spectacular and voluminous.
In addition, the film serves to further strengthen the glass surface. Lakobel can be used with companion materials or solo.
Photo printing
The decoration of the facades is carried out using a film with a printed pattern. You can embody any desire - right up to the photos of your loved ones.
Sandblasting design
This method of processing mirrors and glasses allows you to create matte patterns on their surface. Elegant and fresh in the design with such facades will be guaranteed.
Shades and sizes
More versatile are considered neutral shades of calm colors. Such colors will not be annoying and annoying.
These include:
- the black;
- lactic;
- brown;
- beige;
- white and others.
Equipped with such a massive piece of furniture, the room can turn into a dark and dark.
To prevent this from happening, it is advisable to choose light shades, decor with mirrors and light patterns for facades.
It should be noted such an important point as the size of the valves. Sliding doors with a height to the ceiling should be no more than 100 - 120 cm wide.
If you choose wider doors, it will be more difficult and inconvenient to use them.
return to menu ↑Professional recommendations - be sure to read
Having decided on the type of construction, and having decided whether you need a built-in model or standing alone, you proceed to the next step - you decide on the facades and the internal structure of the cabinet.
Rollers or monorails
Modern wardrobe almost always has a roller or monorail door mechanism.
Swing doors are a very rare variant that can be found in the production of custom-made wardrobes in styles that require it. For example, classic or Provence.
Monorail mechanism, compared with roller, wins in its reliability.
Doors equipped with such a device are reliable: they have protection against accidental slipping, and the grooves are not clogged during use.
Preferred materials for the rollers themselves:
- Teflon coated plastic;
- uncoated plastic;
- metal.
In terms of service life and wear resistance leads the metal. A plastic device without any coating is a cheap, but completely fragile option.
Such a mechanism will not last long. But plastic with Teflon coating is a balance of quality and price.
Profile selection
In this matter, everything is extremely simple. Only two options are possible:
- Aluminum.
- Steel.
It would seem that the choice is obvious - steel is better. But not so simple. Consider and compare the various parameters.
Spaciousness
Everything is very individual here. The internal structure of the cabinet, especially when it is made to order, gives free rein to the imagination.
You can organize it as you like. It should be borne in mind that each section system has its price. Why pay for extra devices, if you have not so many things?
Inside the cabinet there are shelves, bars, segments and drawers. In order for them to be convenient to use, they must be well combined with each other.
Very convenient drawer systems and shelves for shoes.
To make things convenient to lay out on the shelves, and then find, must be maintained such parameters:
- the distance between the shelves - from 35 cm and more;
- clothes bars should be placed at a height of 150 cm for coats and raincoats;
- for shirts - bar height up to 120 cm.
The capacity of the built-in wardrobe compartment is larger than the cabinet with the same dimensions.
This is due to the waste of useful space on the side and back wall, a greater number of fasteners and their more complex mounting.

When placing a wardrobe in your bedroom, it is important to make sure that it is safe for the household:
- no sharp corners;
- thoroughness of fasteners internal mechanisms;
- installation of mirrors on the facades with the use of a special adhesive film, which will prevent fragments from falling out if the mirror is accidentally broken down;
- supplying doors with an anti-slip mechanism;
- availability of box drawers system.
