Destinations can reflect the era (interiors in the colonial or Victorian style) or imitate the lifestyle of country people from different countries (all variants of “country” - American, Provence, Swiss chalet).

Each style has its own features. These are features of use of space, a decor and, of course, furniture.

Although the word "modern" and means "modern", but this style does not apply to new popular trends. It originated at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries and reflects what was modern then. Today, the premises in this style look like a noble retro.

A room in this style looks expensive: modern does not tolerate cheap things. Handmade pieces are the basis of the “right” modernity.

Cabinets in this style are distinguished by elegance and elegance. The smoothness of the forms, the ornate twists of the decor are very characteristic of this direction. Modern is a variety of forms.A wardrobe for such a room can be a cabinet with a cupboard on top, an open bookcase can resemble tree branches. Another sign is asymmetry. A modern wardrobe may not have even and identical sashes, one half of it may be straight, the other half beveled, etc.

Designers of that time were inspired by nature; therefore, the décor of cabinets is most often vegetable - leaves, flowers, and branches. However, the wardrobe itself can resemble a leaf or a strange flower. The facades are most often smoothly polished, and the natural design of the tree is not hidden under the paint.

Minimalism is characterized by the extreme openness of forms, solidity of materials, clear geometry. To hide from the eyes of all the extra things, usually put a large wardrobe. Ideal for this style - built-in wardrobe, which is so merges with the wall, that it seemed not. In addition to sliding doors, folding doors can be used.

For finishing using smooth wood, as an option - with a glossy finish. The front of the cabinet is monophonic or two-color, contrasting. Very often, to expand the space using large mirrors on the facades. No open shelves and glass doors! In a minimalist interior, everything must be safely hidden.

Very discreet modern style. Hi-tech "loves" the correct form, symmetry, clear corners. The wardrobe in the “high-tech” style can be both built-in and complete. Its surface should be smooth.

From English the name of this direction is translated as “battered luxury”.The interiors in this style use vintage or antique furniture, but always updated, that is, repainted or decoratively painted. The wardrobe in this style is necessarily wooden. If not antique, then at least modern, created in the Baroque or Rococo style - with twisted patterns and carvings. The decor should be embossed. The furniture is painted with water-based paints of delicate colors - white, bluish, tender-mint or pink. Then it is decorated with patina, gilding, and “aged”: scuffs, chipped paint, etc. are artificially made.

The style of the French village also welcomes the “aged” furniture, although this is not necessary. The cabinet should be bright and neat. It is usually symmetrical and has the correct shape. This is close to the furniture in a classic style. For the kitchen, the best solution is a cupboard with carved details, glass doors and lattice inserts.

For the living room or bedroom, you can choose a fairly roomy model with solid facades, but always decorated with carvings, forged handles.Furniture colors are light: preferably white, blue, turquoise. Patina models are very suitable for this style.

Country music can be different, but one thing is common to all directions: it’s a village style. So, the furniture in this style needs wooden, simple forms and with a simple decor. Models from solid wood without coloring are welcome, so that the natural pattern of the tree can be seen. Very suitable cabinets with glass inserts on the doors, bars. Deaf facades are decorated with milling.

Style, formed in Italy in the Middle Ages. Baroque symbolizes pomp and pretentiousness, seeks to demonstrate the wealth of the owner. In this style, furniture made of soft wood is used, which are easily processed, since the cabinets and dressers are replete with carvings. The legs of the cabinets and tables are oddly bent.

For the modern version of the Baroque, you can choose a large enough closet with a mirror on the facade. Mirror inlay should be decorated with gold on the edges. All convex details of the decor are also covered with gold paint - this is the main color of the Baroque.

It is necessary to choose a cabinet of a certain style based on whether it is suitable in appearance and, of course, according to its intended purpose.

This is acceptable in high-tech living rooms, minimalism, modern, baroque. Directions such as Provence, Country, Shebbi-chic, to small buffets, dressers, racks.

In order not to break out of the framework of style, choose "tricky" furniture. For example, the kitchen in the style of Provence does not look at all modern appliances. Put a beautiful different closet, which hides a built-in refrigerator or dishwasher.

In this bedroom in the Japanese style perfectly fit a modern wardrobe. It has open rounded shelves on one side and an imitation of rice paper on the facades. Such a design generally hides the presence of the cabinet in the room.It creates the illusion of the wall of a traditional Japanese house.

Fashionable and popular today loft interior can be made even more attractive by putting an unusual rack in the spirit of steampunk. Simple pipes and boards that play the role of shelves against the background of “bare” walls of the loft space will look more than logical.

A skilled designer will be able to mix several different styles in the interior - this technique is called eclecticism. For example, there are clearly ethnic motives (carpet, pillows, chairs) diluted with a wooden chest of drawers in the spirit of Provence. Lattice windows "support" the French theme.

Then you can see an interesting collection of wardrobes and their location in the interior.
