Cabinets in the bedroom

A wardrobe in the bedroom should be chosen, taking into account many factors, since this piece of furniture not only serves a decorative function, but is also primarily a place where things are stored. It should fit into the overall stylistic concept of the bedroom, be practical and convenient to use.

To get started is to decide what exactly will be stored in the wardrobe and how. From its internal content directly depends on which model of this attribute of furniture must be chosen. So, the wardrobe provides an opportunity to place things, having put them on hangers, having laid on shelves or having put in the moving-forward boxes. There are designs with other options, how to remove clothes. A pantograph (a device that allows you to move the bar with the hanger up and down) or additional shelves for shoes in wardrobes make more space for other things.

After selecting the internal filling of the cabinet, it is necessary to understand where it should be located and whether the dimensions of the room allow it to fit so that it does not look bulky and does not take up a lot of free space. Today, many models, while remaining practical and roomy due to their curious design, occupy very little space in the room.

By location, cabinets can be classified into:

1. freestanding (hull);
2. partially embedded;
3. fully embedded.

In built-in cabinets there is no part of the wall elements, so at a cost they can be less than the usual cabinet, in which the side outer and rear walls, the roof and the bottom are necessarily present.

Partially built-in wardrobe, in addition to the fact that they store things inside themselves, are also part of the interior. They lack one of the elements - it is replaced by the floor or the ceiling. Fully embedded are part of the interior. They are often confused with the wardrobe, but the wardrobe is a separate room.

Built-in cabinets can be designed in such a way that they are located around uncomfortable corners, sloping ceilings and uneven walls, making the most of any space.

The shape of the chiffonier is divided into:

1. linear;
2. angular and radial.

In turn, radial cabinets are concave, convex, combined and semi-circular. Concave are distinguished by their soft and sleek lines, especially fitting into the interior of children's bedrooms.

Small niches (deep or surface recess in the wall), where other pieces of furniture are problematic, are more suitable for placing a convex cabinet. A coupe with a concave shape can visually transform the space in any room, making it unusual. Semicircular models are best suited for bedrooms with a large area.

This furniture aligns one of the corners of the bedroom and does not add its own. Thus you can hide the irregularities of the walls or ceiling. The design of the corner cabinet can be very diverse. Doors can be either hinged, sliding, or folding harmonica.

According to their functionality, models are distinguished:

• clothes;
• underwear;
• complex.

Wardrobe called wardrobe, which is designed to store various clothes. Inside it, the space is divided into a laundry compartment and a wardrobe compartment. There is a place for shoes. The cabinet, depending on its direct destination, includes many small pull-out drawers and boxes for clothes, shelves, hangers and rods.

Selected species:

• Swinging. This design is suitable for a spacious bedroom. It has several doors and a large number of compartments. Internal filling of such a cabinet: sections, drawers and shelves.

• Hinged. It is better to resort to such a convenient model when there is not much space in the room, since it will help save space by using the wall surface and making the bedroom more free from furniture. A wall cabinet can be an addition to the bed, located above the headboard. Outwardly, these are ordinary rectangular or square cabinets, equipped with internal shelves and shelves. The filler can be books or even bedding with clothes.

• Cabinet wall. This model combines wardrobe and linen offices, mezzanine for a variety of decorative accessories, books and other interior attributes. Practical furniture design will help to arrange the necessary items in a small room or to arrange a spacious bedroom in a peculiar way.

• Closet. Recently, a very common model because of its convenience and spaciousness. Suitable for any room size. It includes both lower boxes for bulky blankets and blankets, and boxes for miniature wardrobe items (belts, ties, decorations). It is possible to complement the cabinet and other details: sliding shelves, mezzanine or open side elements.

Cupboards come with two door styles - swings (hinges) and sliding. The type of doors to choose depends on the space available and the design of the room. The sliding door is suitable when the bedroom is small in size, as it provides enough space for walking, ensuring that two people will not interfere with each other. Swing doors are ideal for bedrooms with large spaces. For some people, hinged doors are also preferable because they allow you to quickly look at the contents of the entire wardrobe.

The reflective design of mirror furniture is suitable for many rooms in the house, from the bedroom to the living room, which makes them an ideal addition to a luxuriously decorated house. It will be especially beautiful if the mirror chiffonier is embedded in a niche.

Today more and more people prefer modular furniture to the bedroom due to its practicality. A modular cabinet is divided storage units that are not attached to other cabinets. These pre-built cabinets are made from quality materials such as steel, solid wood, or medium density fibreboard, and they are cheaper than individual cabinets.

Modular cabinets provide versatility. because they can be placed anywhere in the room: installed on the ceiling, placed on the floor or laid on racks.Modular cabinets are available in several sizes, allowing homeowners to choose storage units that are ideal for their decorative and functional needs.

In a small room (for example, an area of ​​12 sq. M) a double wardrobe with a door width of 50 to 70 cm is ideal. You can order a smaller size, but then it is fraught with the deformation of the doors due to poor stability. Therefore, less than half a meter wide cabinet is better not to order.

For a small bedroom, a design directly under the ceiling with a reflective surface would be a good option. Designers advise to abandon the cover, replacing it with a false-roof. For narrow or square rooms, it is better to choose a corner cabinet with a retractable end bar, and for rectangular rooms it is better to choose a straight one. The depth of the shelves should begin to vary from 30 cm for straight models, for corner ones from 50 cm. It should be remembered that you must subtract 10 cm for the door divorce mechanism, as a result of which the shelves less than 25 cm deep are completely impractical.

Usually, furniture in Russia is made to the size of standard apartments with a ceiling height of 2.5-2.7 m. In this case, the height of the cabinet itself will vary from 2.2 to 2.5 m.The width is interconnected with the size of the profile - they are often produced from 2.3 to 2.5 m in length. The depth of a standard cabinet is 60 cm, and the width is from 90 to 240 cm.

Hangers are usually about 40 cm long. The ideal depth of the shelf is about 45 cm. It is ideal for styling shirts and other clothes. The minimum height between the two shelves should be maintained at 25-30 cm.

In a spacious room, it is fit to accommodate a large wardrobe. He and the dressing room can serve perfectly. However, it should be limited to the following limits:

• The greatest depth of the chiffonier is 90 cm. Otherwise it will be inconvenient to reach for things in the distance.
• The greatest height is subject to the size of typical chipboard panels (they are 278 cm). However, if you want to put the wardrobe under the ceiling, whose height is 3 or 3.5 m, then mezzanines are used.
• Maximum door height - 4 m. In this case, they must be a separate part. Or another option: to make for the high cabinet on top one more additional doors.
• The maximum width of the cabinet, as well as its height, depends on the chipboard plate. If they want to increase it, then install a partition of chipboard, collecting in this case, the design of two or more modules.
• The greatest value of guides for aluminum doors is 5 m. Thus, you can put from 4 to 7 doors. But the width of the doors themselves should not be more than a meter, otherwise they will be too heavy.

Only one dimension remains - how much space does each person have in the closet when two people live together. Studies have shown that men, as a rule, get 1/3 of the place in the wardrobe space, and women - the remaining 2/3. And it is possible that for a woman this will not be enough!

Before you choose a wardrobe in the bedroom, you need to decide on the style of the interior, because the furniture should correspond to it, create this style.

In such a bedroom, a simple and functional model will create harmony. For example, a wardrobe with a mirrored facade.

The bedroom of classic design can be designed in one of the following directions: Rococo with elegant decorative ornaments, Baroque with rich inlays, Empire style with glossy surfaces.

For the bedroom, decorated with antique, perfect old cabinet with rich patterns and gilding. Its elegant forms will add even more elegance and brilliance to the classics, which will always remain in fashion.

The wardrobe in this style is a traditional model with doors to plow. His finish is a patina of golden or silver color. The lower part of the cabinet is equipped with drawers, and the mezzanine - with hinged doors.

A wardrobe in a high-tech room combines reflective elements: metallic and mirror surfaces.

It is necessary to use colors and shades that will fit into the overall stylistic concept of the bedroom, and also, depending on the idea, merge with the wallpaper and other furniture or contrast with their background. The main thing - do not be afraid of bold decisions. So, You can apply eggshell color coating against matte shades or red details embedded in the black and white range.

Darker colors in relation to the walls have been a trend for some time, but they are already beginning to give way to other numerous options. but black color can still create the illusion of reducing things in size. Consequently, it works well for large pieces of furniture in small spaces.

Cabinets with colored doors look very modern. Violet looks especially stunning in any environment in which it is located, and instantly gives the visual richness of the room (however care should be taken when combining it with other shades). Warm, deep shades of gray with ease complement the sophistication and style. Like purple, orange requires balance and looks best when used in moderation. Combine it with gray, white or light blue to achieve this subtle balance.

The most popular materials for the manufacture of cabinets today are:

• natural wood;
• chipboard or medium density fiberboard (MDF);
• drywall

A wardrobe made of natural wood is considered the most expensiveand from chipboard or MDF - the most budget option. Drywall is a light and practical material, but assembling it may require a lot of work.

One of the main reasons why people use open shelves in the closet is that they want their items to be visible and easily accessible. Nevertheless, it is far from a good idea to keep the cabinets open, since even the smallest mess destroys the perfection of the atmosphere.

However, to hide any defects (scratches, bumps) or to deceive the eye, so that he did not see the scruffy layer of dust on the furniture, it is better to resort to a glossy surface. To create a gloss, PVC film, acrylic plastic, high-gloss enamel (varnish) are used.

The most relevant ideas of today are the combination of several others in one subject.So, designers try to combine furniture with television or audio equipment in their creations, creating compact home theaters. An example of such a model is a wardrobe with a TV mounted on the door, which in this way will not take up extra space and look incredibly stylish.

If you move away from the standard classical forms and already bored lines, then you should definitely order a chest of drawers with an atypical geometric design.

Plates create a balance between pure aesthetics and decorative appeal, and they are a great way to integrate wood into a natural interior without weighting the solid panel.

When choosing furniture, be sure to pay attention to its manufacturer. Especially good are the Italian models, which are famous for their quality and reliability. Among them are remarkable wardrobes. Besana, Arte Brotto or Bizotto. These cabinets do not have a casing, and rigidity is ensured thanks to connecting supporting fixtures to the floor, walls or ceiling. A more classic version of Italy - Emmebi and Aldo Moletta.

Not everyone can afford an expensive Italian wardrobe, but almost everyone definitely needs a place to store things. Therefore, Ikea stores come to the rescue, which make not just high-quality, beautiful furniture, but also the most important - practical. Ikea models are known to the whole world for their variety of solutions, allowing you to save enough free space in the bedroom and store in their closets from small to large. In addition, another undoubted advantage will be the cost of such furniture.

The cost of cabinets will vary depending on the size of the cabinet and the materials from which it is made. So the elite pieces of furniture, made in the original design of the best materials, cost from 60 to 500 thousand rubles, and the cheapest model - an ordinary two-door wardrobe with several shelves - from 6 to 12 thousand rubles. The same model, but with three mirrored doors, will cost from 20 to 35 thousand rubles. Embedded construction with colored glass inside and sandblasted mirror will cost from 25 to 45 thousand rubles.

It will look good if you place the cabinet on one side or on both sides of the doorway or window. Usually this space is not involved in the planning of furniture in order to avoid unnecessary darkening of the room. However, a mezzanine can be attached above the door, which will serve as a bridge between the cabinets on the sides, forming a single structure. It is possible to go further and arrange the bottom of the sofa.

Since the central place in the room is often occupied by the bed, the win-win is to create a combination with it. The wardrobe can be placed opposite, on the other side of the bed, but the most unusual, as well as an incredibly attractive solution will be the location in its headboard.

So, putting two separate deep cabinets on opposite sides of the bed, creates the effect of a niche and an additional private area, because the cabinets in this case look like recesses in the wall. Another option: to create a U-shaped design, hanging the mezzanine over the bed, and on the sides again connect cabinets. You can combine bookcases in different ways, creating different geometric shapes. For example, to combine suspended and floor models, leaving a small space between them.
