It is difficult to imagine a room for sleeping and rest in any house and apartment without such a piece of furniture as a wardrobe. The abundance of wardrobes presented on the modern market can be chosen for the bedroom, taking into account all the necessary requirements. However, not all buyers know exactly what requirements must be taken into account, what shape and size are ready-made structures, what is affected by the number of doors. For many, it is also difficult to place such a piece of furniture in the bedroom and decorate it. To clarify all of the above nuances, read the materials in this article.

In order for the wardrobe in the bedroom to become the most functional and laconic piece of furniture, one should take into account a number of features that are inherent in precisely those wardrobes, which are located in this part of the apartment.

• In most cases, the closet in the bedroom holds the bulk of your belongings. Therefore, it should be roomy, but at the same time not take up too much space.
• There is other furniture in the sleeping room: bed, cabinets, dressing table, table. It is important that the wardrobe is designed in the same style with all other elements. Only if this condition is met, it will organically fit into the decor of the room.
• If the bedroom is intended for several people, the wardrobe must contain a certain number of compartments so that there is enough space for everyone's things and at the same time the storage areas are delimited.
• In a room of this type, a cabinet can perform additional functions, for example, to delimit two zones.Therefore, the shape of the model is often worth choosing based on its use as a separator between the two parts of the room.
• In addition to cabinets that act as storage places for clothes, there are also models used to place other household items, hobbies and accessories in them.

For a bedroom, the choice of wardrobes is wide enough.

• Cabinet cabinet - standard type of construction, having a rectangular shape. It can have a different number of valves, starting with two. The frame of such a cabinet consists of 5 sides, one of which is presented in the form of a door. These models, especially those that are large in size, often take a lot of material, so they can be expensive.

• Among the case structures, it is worth highlighting such an option as wardrobe with mezzanine... This design is considered old-fashioned, but may be appropriate in some interior styles. Such a cabinet usually consists of three compartments and a removable upper part. It is smaller, and its compartments are the same width as those at the bottom.

• Wardrobe designed specifically for storing wardrobe items. Despite the fact that these structures do not look very bulky from the outside, inside there may be different compartments for each type of clothing and accessories. This option is suitable for those who have a lot of things, but there is not enough space in the bedroom for a full dressing room. An antique piece of this type may include handcrafted carvings.

• If you want to make the most of the space near one of the walls of the bedroom, the wall cabinet... This model includes not only large compartments, but also additional shelves, drawers and recesses for electronics. This design often includes hanging boxes, hanging wall shelves and open compartments that can be used as book storage. The center recess is often reserved for the TV.

• A kind of such a wall is cabinet-slide, the differences of which are that the fittings in it are lighter, suitable for modern minimalist concepts. Also, the modules included in the package may differ more significantly in terms of materials and type of construction. Also an important distinguishing feature is the lack of symmetry.

• Built-in wardrobes - one of the most ergonomic options for the bedroom. They fit directly into the wall, helping to keep the room's shape perfectly. Depending on the layout of the bedroom, the parameters of such wardrobes may be different. Sometimes entire wardrobes are created behind the built-in doors.

• Traditional wardrobes have been replaced by modular structures, which are very convenient for those who want to design the departments of their closet exactly according to their needs. Such cabinets have compartments for various things, located in a certain way for maximum ease of use.

• Instead of traditional types, sometimes models with sliding doors... The opening of such cabinets is carried out by moving the door, equipped with a special mechanism, to the side.

• Cabinet, the compartments of which are located with the letter P, usually installed in large rooms, since it offers significantly more space than other models. The layout of the bedroom should also have a wall recess that would correspond to the parameters of such a structure.

• For those who are bored with the straight silhouette of the wardrobe in the bedroom, radius structureslocated in the corner of the room. They can have a convex, concave and even wavy silhouette, but they are not the most ergonomic. The number of flaps can vary from 2 to 5; large items may have open compartments.

• Deserves special attention wardrobe-partition... It is installed with the end side to the wall so as to fence off one part of the bedroom from another, for example, the sleeping area from the working area. Depending on the concept of the interior, the shapes and sizes of these cabinets can be different. In some cases, the wardrobe is the only separating attribute, and in some it is just an additional detail of the zonal delimitation.

The parameters and shapes of the wardrobe for the bedroom must be taken into account when choosing a product. There are options that are large enough to not fit into apartments with a ceiling height of less than 3 m.

Built-in wardrobes occupy the full height of the wall, while cabinet-built wardrobes, even if they can end almost under the ceiling, still provide for a distance between it and the upper edge of the structure.

Even such options can be multifunctional if their modules are carefully thought out.

The depth of the cabinet is determined by what exactly is planned to be stored in it. Items for storing clothes can be 1 m or 90 cm wide and about the same depth. If you decide to install a cabinet for storing books or documents in the bedchamber, it can be shallow.

Rectangular products installed along the wall take up part of the space, but much less than corner cabinets or radius models.

A sign of dividing bedroom wardrobes into groups are also the features of their doors.

• With swing doors. This category includes wardrobes, three-door wardrobes, wardrobes and modular products, supplemented by drawers.

• Sliding doors move when opening and closing the product on a special roller mechanism. Such options consist of at least two door leaves, one of which, when opened, drives in behind the other.

• The doors may not slide apart, but fold, like accordion furs. At the same time, the door leafs are not solid as in the previous version, but consist of leaves, which are connected using a special fastening element that allows them to fold when opened.

The raw materials from which the cabinet structure is made play a decisive role not only for its service life, but also for the aesthetic component. For the bedroom, wardrobes are made from materials, each of which has special characteristics.

• Wood - the most expensive and environmentally friendly raw material for furniture. The process of creating such a material is very laborious, but it looks great in most cases. When choosing a cabinet from an array, it is worth remembering that in rooms with high humidity, the service life of these products will be shorter. It is also important to cover the cabinet with special impregnations that protect against moisture and various pests. The best styles for this kind of material are the classic ones.

• A cheaper analogue of the wood type is MDF material, which is a vacuum-pressed wood component. The surface of such cabinets can be coated with both paint and a special film, due to which it has different textures. Products from MDF are good in that their price is much less than that of analogs from the array.

• One of the cheapest types of raw materials for making sleeproom wardrobes is laminated board... It is made from compressed sawdust covered with a layer of plastic. The cabinets are presented in a fairly large color palette.

• Built-in furniture is often manufactured drywall... This non-toxic material, consisting of special construction paper, is convenient for self-assembly, mounting light elements in the cabinet structure and creating decor on its surface. At the same time, the price of GLK sheets is very democratic.

A bedroom is a room that in most cases is decorated in neutral pastel shades.

• Natural wood colors. Regardless of whether the furniture is made of this material, or cheaper counterparts are used, the colors of the wood always look solid and laconic. These can be shades of light solid, such as milk oak, beech, dark walnut or unusual mahogany.

• When it comes to plain plastic or film-coated items, juicy glossy colors such as pink, green, cherry can be chosen. Sometimes only some of the doors are painted in such bold colors, and the large surface of the cabinet is kept in neutral beige or gray. If the style of the interior allows, the wardrobe in the bedroom can be black, white, or combine this contrasting ensemble.

• It is also possible to do photo printing on the door leaf of the cabinet. In this case, you will receive a truly unique piece of furniture that will reflect both the design concept and your personality.

In order not to waste time choosing a wardrobe for the rest of the bedroom furniture, it is worth considering such an option as purchasing a whole bedroom set. The undoubted advantage of this solution will be the correspondence of the cabinet to all other furniture items in style.

Among the sets of furniture for a bedroom with a wardrobe, there are those in which it goes along with a dressing table, bedside tables, shelves, a chest of drawers, a bed. The larger the set of bedroom furniture, the more expensive its cost will be.

So that the wardrobe in the bedroom does not look too trivial or even inorganic, you should think in advance about its design, especially about the surface of the door leaves, which they try to emphasize as much as possible or make it more consistent with the chosen interior concept.

• Design of a cabinet-slide or wall with a niche for a TV is chosen if the bedroom is decorated in high-tech, minimalism, modern and other modern styles. It is worth noting that if monochromatic matte or glossy colors of door panels are characteristic of minimalism, then for high-tech, the advantage is given to the inclusion of mirrors or glass in the cabinet.

• Classic cabinet design may include, in addition to light shades of wood, also areas decorated with gold. Classic implies rather massive wardrobe designs. Mirrors can be built into some of the doors, but they usually do not occupy the entire surface of the door leaf.

• The same massive, but not always body objects characteristic of the neoclassical style... Milky cabinets, from floor to ceiling or slightly below, partially repeat the relief of classic furniture, but can also include new components, for example, mirrors, divided into 4 parts using wooden blocks.

• To create a special atmosphere, the wardrobe in the bedroom is equipped with lighting. This solution is more in line with modern concepts than classical canons.Light elements can be located both on the top panel of the cabinet, scattering light onto the surface of the doors, and inside the furniture, giving a beautiful and unusual look to each compartment. The lamps inside the wardrobe can support the color spectrum, which will transform your ordinary wardrobe into a stylish and original piece of furniture.

• Open shelves in walls or slides can also be equipped with lighting, but accessories, such as vases with flowers, figurines, are often used as decorative elements.

So that the process of choosing a wardrobe for a bedchamber is not too long and tiring, you should familiarize yourself with the basic nuances in advance, which will help you choose the perfect wardrobe for your bedroom at the optimal time for you.

• Compatibility with the style of the interior. The chosen bedroom design concept directly dictates the requirements for the shape, size, color and texture of the wardrobe. The separation of design from concept will create an imbalance.
• Room size plays a key role. Based on its indicators, the size of the cabinet should be calculated. Also consider the height of the ceiling.
• An individual criterion for each is the required frequency of cleaning the cabinet surface. And this frequency also depends on the material of its manufacture. For example, a product with glass or mirrored doors will need to be wiped more often than wooden models.
• Think carefully about the content, preferably by making a drawing. Thanks to this, you will be able to equip the structure with all the shelves and racks that you need.
• Pay attention to the compatibility of the wardrobe with other interior items, especially if you buy them not in a common set. The wardrobe should be made of a material that matches the color and texture of other furniture, such as a computer desk or cabinet.
• If you want a truly original piece for storing things, you should pay attention not only to the design, but also to the features of the form and details. For example, there are models of wardrobes with legs that will perfectly fit into some styles and at the same time create a special comfort in your bedroom.
• Take into account such criteria as the layout of the room. It can be the basis for original wardrobe creation of areas in your bedroom, such as a walk-in closet or hobby space.

• the full-wall option is a win-win for those who want to save space and not distort the original shape of the room;
• you can make a cabinet design that goes into a niche above the head of the bed: by choosing the appropriate texture and color for the niche, you can even create the look of a furniture set;
• who is not afraid of experiments and has clearly thought out the design of the entire room, where each object is assigned a certain place, can arrange modules in the space around the window of the place, and make functional niches above the doorway, the main thing is that all this looks harmonious and is convenient to use;
• it is necessary to take into account such nuances as safety and convenience when using, for example, it is most likely not worth placing such structures above a bed or a folding sofa;
• if you buy a product with swing doors, consider that when opened, the doors do not interfere with movement around the room and do not come into close contact with other interior items.
