Description
The rationale behind having so many wardrobe designs is to cater to your diverse needs, preferences, and styles. In the conditions of modern life, to ensure maximum comfort, you have to use a huge number of everyday items: a variety of dishes for a pleasant meal, fashionable gadgets for exciting leisure, shoes, and clothes for going out. To always have order in your house, each thing should be in its place. With dishes and gadgets, everything is more or less simple. But, the placement of clothes and shoes requires a thoughtful approach. Especially if your wardrobe contains very expensive or quickly wrinkled clothes. The ideal option for organizing a place to store things is a wardrobe. Such a corner should be in your home, especially since modern wardrobe designs make it possible to place it in rooms of any size.
Wardrobe design structures
Structurally, sliding wardrobe designs can be built-in or cabinet-type. These are the two main types, between which there are fundamental differences. But there is also a third type, modular wardrobes, which is also quite common. Your choice of design depends on your location of the wardrobe installation – if there is a niche or corner, it is sometimes unreasonable to look for a ready-made wardrobe of suitable dimensions or order a free-standing one, the walls of which will reduce the useful internal volume. This is especially relevant where you lack space and in rooms of standard sizes.
Types of wardrobe designs
Depending on the space occupied and the configuration features, you can classify wardrobe designs into the following types:
Corner wardrobe designs
A miniature room, presented in the form of a triangle, the letter “G” or a trapezoid. Such compact wardrobes are suitable for one- or two-room apartments. Sometimes a corner wardrobe is placed on the balcony. Since the space is limited, use it as functionally as possible. To do this, arrange the interior of the wardrobe with the help of many shelves, drawers, as well as baskets, and portable cabinets with small sections.
Built-in wardrobe designs
As a rule, place built-in wardrobes instead of a pantry or attic. In most cases, the wardrobe is represented by closed or open wardrobes. Another excellent option for arranging this area is sets of hanging shelves with additional fasteners and prefabricated racks. You can see this option for arranging a wardrobe area in thematic photos of the interiors of dressing rooms.
Walk-in closet designs
Only if you own a large apartment or cottage can you afford such a walk-in closet. Since a whole room is allocated for clothes and shoes, when choosing a design, you can give free rein to your imagination. And try to fit wardrobes, shelves, cabinets, and racks in one area. If you choose solid wood wardrobes with shelves and place them along the wall, you will be able to provide maximum furniture capacity and room functionality. In separate dressing rooms, you can allocate shelves for each household member, so it will be much easier to find the right thing. This method of arranging furniture requires natural light. To do this, do not clutter the window and allocate space for full-length mirrors if the cabinet doors are not equipped with mirrors.
Wardrobe color schemes
As for the color scheme, it should be neutral, because your wardrobe already contains a lot of colorful clothes and shoes. To prevent your room from being too bright and gaudy, better choose beige, white, and peach shades. If you cannot decide how to arrange such an important and useful area, we recommend you look at photos of wardrobe designs on the Internet. Our catalog gives you various design projects, among which you will certainly choose the best option for your apartment.
Sliding wardrobe designs
Sliding wardrobes are a popular choice for modern homes due to their sleek design and efficient use of space. They offer you a stylish and functional storage solution, particularly for smaller bedrooms or tight spaces. You can classify sliding wardrobes on several factors:
- By body geometry
- size
- number of doors
- type of sliding systems
- material of profiles and guides
- type of door finishing
- By facade design
- Price
The modern sliding wardrobe differs significantly from its predecessor. The first version of such a wardrobe was a design with doors in the form of a screen, behind which soldiers of the French army stored their belongings. Wardrobes acquired the form you are accustomed to only a few decades ago. And since then designers have been competing in creating new forms and fillings, and you have an increasingly wide choice of furniture for your apartment. The sliding wardrobe changes its appearance and interior design, becoming more and more convenient and perfect.
By body geometry
In general, the wardrobe body consists of side walls, top, and bottom covers, but each specific case may make its adjustments. If your cabinet is not a free-standing one, but a built-in one, you may be deprived of some elements, and their role is played by the walls of the house or niches where the wardrobe is built in. (several cabinets in one line) When creating a custom-made wardrobe, it is important to consider not only your wishes and preferences, but also the laws of physics. Without partitions and rigid horizontal surfaces, your wardrobe will fold like a house of cards. Therefore, some elements are load-bearing and therefore mandatory.
Direct wardrobe designs
The classic shape of the wardrobe is presented in the form of a straight line. Such a wardrobe does not have L-shaped corners or semicircular facades and is perfect for most rooms. For easier visual perception, we offer different design options, decor, as well as additional sections in the form of open-corner shelves. The main characteristics of such a wardrobe are linear parameters and the number of doors. You can vary the filling, depending on the installation location and purpose of your model.
Angular wardrobe designs
Corner wardrobes consist of several parts connected at a right angle. As a result, the overall structure can be placed in a corner, which saves a lot of space and uses every square meter of space. The lengths of the corner sides may vary, and their connection is often made in the form of a trapezoid.
For corner wardrobes, the solution of the inner corner is important. If you put a partition there, using the wardrobe will not be very convenient. And the usable area will be reduced. In addition, you will not reach the far points of this corner to take the necessary things. But there is a solution to this problem, designers use “carousels” for storing things, pantographs, and other systems that use the entire internal volume of the cabinet.
Radius wardrobes
The radius wardrobe looks special. Its facades are made of semicircular elements, both convex and concave. If your space allows and the wardrobe is supposed to be long enough, these elements can be alternated. This will form a smooth overall line of the facade in the form of a wave. The original type of wardrobe requires spacious rooms and large areas, but its advantage is stunning, which makes radius wardrobes unlike any other.
Cabinet wardrobe designs
Cabinet wardrobes consist of a complete set of elements and do not require other supports or walls. These cabinets can stand alone and you can easily move if necessary.
The presence of their walls, top, and bottom makes cabinet wardrobes autonomous, complete, and mobile. Your internal useful volume will be slightly less than that of built-in wardrobes with similar parameters.
Modular wardrobe designs
Modular wardrobes consist of a set of separate sections that you can combine, replace, supplement, or reduce in quantity. Such furniture is easily scaled to the required area. It is easy to add missing elements to it or remove unnecessary ones that you no longer need.
Modular furniture is intended for convenient storage of things in complex rooms where you can not install one solid structure. Its elements can be selected based on the characteristics of a specific place in the room. Often, the wardrobe is supplemented with conventional hanging shelves, cabinets, and other additional elements.
Built-in wardrobe designs
Built-in wardrobes are great at hiding the flaws or features of a room, as they are created taking into account their parameters. A sloping ceiling, an obtuse angle, L-shaped niche can be an excellent basis for a built-in wardrobe. Designers design these wardrobes in such a way as to harmonize the shapes of the room and make it more comfortable to live in and pleasant to perceive. The closer the shape of the room is to a regular figure, the more perfect the impression you get. Built-in wardrobes are designed for a specific installation location, and it is almost impossible to move them while maintaining functionality.
By size
The more spacious your room, the more impressive your wardrobe can be.
Standard wardrobe dimensions are as follows:
45-60 cm deep;
220-240 cm in height;
90-240 cm in length.
Anything that goes beyond these limits should be ordered individually. In narrow corridors and passages, cabinets of small depth are installed, designed for a small width of shelves. Despite this, you can have the necessary functionality. It is enough to plan several sections with crossbars to accommodate 8 hangers in each. Another section with shelves and drawers can accommodate knitwear, underwear, shoes, and accessories. That is, even a simple narrow three-door cabinet will be quite roomy and practical.
If you have no size restrictions, focus on standard ones – they are the most convenient to use. You can get additional storage space if you build up the mezzanine or extend the cabinet in length. In addition, rational use of internal space is important. Storage systems that we offer today allow you to create any combination – for clothes, shoes, textiles, bed linen, for a children’s and adult bedroom, living room, and hallway. Inside such a cabinet there will be exactly what you need.
By number of doors
Long cabinets require wide doors, but a distance of more than 110 cm between them will be inconvenient. Usually, models with 2, 3, or 4 doors are made. The longer the cabinet, the more doors you will need. These can be either sliding doors or hinged doors. Each case has its fastening system, opening method, and requirements for free space.
Sliding system wardrobe designs
Sliding doors are installed much more often than hinged ones today. Because sliding wardrobes are convenient and practical. And their doors can be moved in one or different directions along special guides.
The following sliding systems are used to make such wardrobes:
Frameless wardrobes designs
Frameless – door panels move on rollers installed on the inside. The movement of the rollers is guided by a special profile installed on the roof of the cabinet from the inside. This is a simple design with quick installation, but their use should be careful and unhurried. Otherwise, you risk the roller jumping off. You need to adjust a system periodically, and its appearance is far from perfect;
Overhead profiles
With overhead profiles – the door panel is framed on the sides with a metal profile, which protects the edge of the material from chipping and damage upon impact. Such doors move more softly and smoothly, but are also subject to distortions, as a result of which the roller can jump out of the profile;
Framed wardrobes
Framed – the entire door panel is dressed in a frame, which increases the rigidity of its structure and practically eliminates deformation. The door is installed by thrust, and the connection with the guides is more reliable.
Support
A system with support on the lower profile, along which the door leaf moves. An affordable system, proven for decades, which works well, although not perfectly, since it easily breaks down due to dust and dirt accumulating inside the profile. The shortcomings of the system are easily eliminated, and the low cost compensates for possible shortcomings.
Suspended
A suspended door wardrobe is a system with support on the upper profile. This is an option for a stylish solution, where a free floor is important. The door panels seem to be floating in the air. They reach the floor level but do not touch it. The minimum gap makes it impossible for dust and dirt to get inside the cabinet and makes your cleaning easier. This system looks effective and requires reliable components. In addition, you must select taking into account the characteristics of the door leaf – weight and linear dimensions. Not every mechanism is designed for a 100-kilogram door, for example, so better you entrust these calculations to a specialist.
Coplanar
Coplanar doors ensure the merging of two door panels into one line, as well as the opening of one above the other. The movement of the door panels is fascinating in its dynamism and unexpectedness. The system is perfect for your futuristic interiors, as well as for conditions of insufficient space. When closed, the facade is solid, which opens up wide possibilities for decoration.
By material of profiles and guides
The better and higher quality the guides are, the longer the period of flawless operation you expect.
Door guides can be made of:
The rollers that move the door are made of rubber, plastic, Teflon, and steel. A sliding system made of high-quality materials ensures smooth and quiet movement of the door, without jerks and knocks. It is important you select a system with high repairability or that you can replace easily.
Wardrobe door finishing designs
The exterior finish of the doors is what largely determines the design of your wardrobe. There is a large selection of interesting options for your different styles, room sizes, and color preferences. Facade design trends are changing, and a designer’s consultation will help you stay on trend, as we will help you choose a fashionable and durable option at the same time. A sliding wardrobe is not cheap, and you need to plan its appearance.
The facade determines the external attractiveness of your sliding wardrobe. We offer you a lot of options for finishing and decorating facades.
Various materials are used for finishing:
Designers use PVC film coating, edge rounding, plastic post forming, milling, and other methods that allow them to achieve the desired aesthetic effect.
Wardrobe facade designs
The most visually noticeable part of a wardrobe is its facades. Trends of recent years suggest the use of subdued colors, natural materials, or their imitations, as well as a combination of several materials.
Different visual impressions can be achieved by using:
- frosted and tinted glass;
- mosaic inserts;
- openwork perforation of the door leaf;
- mirror design of panels.
By price
Interior design does not contain trifles, and a wardrobe is certainly not such a trifle. Its style, decoration, and facade design form the appearance. A wardrobe can be discreet, accent, barely noticeable, or prevailing in the interior of the room. All these factors also affect the price. If earlier manufacturing according to individual parameters was not cheap, today we have the necessary equipment and technologies.
