Sliding wardrobe in the bedroom

You need to approach the design of a bedroom in a special way, since the flaws and shortcomings of this room will affect the quality of your rest. In order to get rid of clutter, it is recommended to install a spacious and stylish wardrobe in the bedroom.

Sliding wardrobe for the bedroom - features and advantages

Why is it better to choose a compartment system for the bedroom:

Silence. This is a very important indicator in a room intended for sleeping;
The ability to plan the internal content yourself. Another plus that qualitatively affects capacity and functionality;
Wide choice in terms of decor. Add a photo print with an amazing panorama of nature to your doors. This will promote relaxation;
Space saving. With other models, you will have to install a lot more furniture, and no one has canceled the meter limit. You can plan a place inside for a TV.

If one cabinet is not enough, choose a group

When one cabinet is not enough for all things, the buyer selects cabinet groups - compositions of several products installed together. There are two principles of their construction: the combination of individual modules and the “endless cabinet” principle. In the first case, you choose ready-made cabinets and the order in which they will be installed in the room. To give the structure strength, they are fastened to each other with special ties, for installation of which it is necessary to additionally drill the sides of the cabinets. This method is gradually becoming obsolete. Nowadays the “endless closet” principle is in fashion. Its essence is to attach one internal set to another through a common sidewall. And you can do this ad infinitum.

The principle of the “endless cabinet” is very simple: elements are placed through the inner sides until the space runs out.

On the outer sides of such a set of kits, outer sidewalls with a finish finish are installed, and the inner sidewalls have the same finish as the rest of the interior filling.

1) the cabinets are placed next to each other and fastened with ties, 2) the connection through one side creates a durable cabinet.

In fact, the principle of an endless cabinet is used to assemble one cabinet, and not a composite cabinet group. Its design is much stronger than bonded modules. In addition, the use of one sidewall allows you to reduce the gap between the facades.

Design and types of sliding mechanisms for compartment doors

When thinking about how to choose a wardrobe for your bedroom, decide on the advantages of this door system.

It consists of:

Upper and lower frames. Needed for reliable fixation of the rollers in one plane. During installation, they are attached to the side panels and are always hidden behind the guides;
2 guides (top, bottom). They are needed not only to support roller carriages. The upper one limits the vibrations of the doors when they move. It is equipped with deep U-shaped grooves into which the upper edge of the sashes fits. Most often, the load does not fall on the top rail. The lower one has a rounded relief. The doors move along it and it receives the lion's share of their weight;
Rollers (upper, lower). The main task of the roller at the top is to keep the doors vertical. There is practically no load on the carriage. But the lower one is equipped with bearings, providing better mobility and reliability. Must be very durable. Usually larger than the top ones. Stopper antennae are added to the design;
Asymmetrical profile. It borders the vertical part of the door. Replaces external handles and other fittings.

The type of mechanism is also important:

Mounted. The only option with a top stop. It makes noise and falls often. Very bad not only for the bedroom, but also in itself. Requires considerable effort to move the sashes. There is only an upper rail, fastening to the ceiling;
Suspension. Somewhat better, but still not without problems. The load is divided approximately in half, which also causes the doors to warp. Both rails are attached to the frame from the inside;
With side profile. The door becomes stiffer, which certainly makes it easier to move evenly and smoothly. The system is afraid of hitting obstacles. Jams much less often;
Frame. The profile is applied to the sash along the entire perimeter, fixing it to deflection. It adds weight, so the rollers need extra strong ones (Teflon). The most reliable method is with a bottom stop.

How to choose a closet size

The size of the closet is closely related to its placement in the room. Often it occupies the entire width of the wall or is installed in a niche. The depth for all manufacturers will be approximately the same - about 60 centimeters. This is due to ease of use. Height varies from 2 meters 10 centimeters to 2 meters 40 centimeters. A mezzanine is often placed on low cabinets to increase storage space; in high cabinets this space is already rationally used. The standard width of a single-door cabinet is about half a meter, and a double-door cabinet is about a meter. When you need to choose a large wardrobe for your bedroom, you won’t be able to optimally fill the free space with meter-long and half-meter-long wardrobes. That's why good manufacturers offer modules in larger and smaller sizes, not just standard widths. And very good ones can also shorten a serial product by the required amount. In this case, choosing a cabinet by size will not be difficult.

Types of designs of sliding wardrobes in the bedroom

Built-in

Among the large number of types of bedroom wardrobes, built-in ones occupy a special place. They completely lack a frame frame, which is replaced with false planks as necessary. The option requires custom manufacturing with careful measurements of all parameters.

There are several types:

In a niche. Ideal appearance, but a number of construction works will be required to decorate the niche. Only after this are measurements taken of all parameters outside and inside the cavity;
In the corner. The most space-efficient method. It will lose a little in terms of capacity. It is more difficult to design the sashes correctly;
The entire wall. The room must be large enough. All functionality indicators are excellent. It is possible to mount the facade on both sides. This way you will not only make access to things easier, but you will also be able to create an original partition. Relevant for studios.

Frame

If you are too lazy to bother with planning a built-in wardrobe yourself or it seems too expensive, then choose a frame wardrobe for your bedroom. They are offered in large quantities ready-made. All you have to do is assemble it and place it along any desired wall. The body is assembled from the upper and lower horizons, sidewalls and rear wall. The last step is to install the provided filling option.

The standard thickness for all parts is 16 mm. If you plan to store heavy items, you can select materials with a thickness of up to 22 mm. This will prevent subsidence and deformation of the shelves and frame. Since all parts are most often cut from various types of wood boards (chipboard, fibreboard, MDF, laminated chipboard), it is worth taking care of the cut. The porous structure of the material is prone to moisture absorption. This can cause parts to break and swell.

Timely glued furniture edges will save you from such troubles:

Melamine coated paper. The method is cheap, but unreliable. It's easy to stick it on yourself. It is enough to warm it up with an iron and press it to the cut. But, she will not cope with the main task, because she herself is afraid of water. In addition, it will quickly chip, delaminate and rub off. Requires varnishing after application. This way you can extend its lifespan;
PVC. Very strong, durable. It doesn't burn well. It is quite rigid, which makes it difficult to install. For these purposes, you need special equipment or melting adhesives;
ABS. Soft plastic, safe for humans, made from a mixture of several polymers. It cuts well, lasts a long time, and does not release toxins even when heated. Of the minuses - an impressive price tag per linear meter;
Profiles. Made of plastic. If this is a U-shaped contour, then it is simply put on the edge. To install a T-shaped one, cutting a special groove is required. An excellent method with a long service life;
Acrylic. The transparent convex tape at the bottom is covered with a patterned film. The result is an image volume effect. Tough and durable. Not afraid of water, household chemicals and shocks. Quite expensive.

Types of models

The design of cabinets and their types depend on the size of the room and its configuration (narrow, square, rectangular). But, and, of course, it depends on the customer’s preferences. There are several types of bedroom cafes:

straight;
angular;
mounted;
built-in;
modular;
radius.

Angular

Radial Straight

Mounted Modular

Built-in
This is the most common type of furniture. Furniture sets are mounted along the length of the wall. Wardrobe wall in the bedroom. It differs in that it is not only part of a furniture set, but also serves as a dividing wall. As a rule, these are mostly sliding systems. One of the sections serves as a passage for another room.

A closet for a small bedroom can be corner or three-leaf. Its advantage is that it uses the corner of the room, thereby saving space. These can be modular systems that consist of a corner segment and two attachment sections. The corner element is often made mirrored, so it becomes less bulky. In addition, it is convenient from a functionality point of view. Such models are suitable for narrow spaces.

The wardrobe in the bedroom at the head of the bed is also made wall-mounted. Typically, such designs are used when it is not possible to install a full-fledged model. Wall cabinets on the sides complement small cabinets. Use a pencil case in the bedroom for these purposes. They often come with single beds.

The most popular embedded systems today. They are mounted directly to the wall. Modern style bedroom wardrobes of different shapes are often used by designers. These can be L or U shaped structures. A bedroom with a wardrobe of this model looks very interesting. Dressing closets in the bedroom are also a type of built-in module, if it is not a separate room. They can be different in length. The minimum depth is 1.8 m, since there must be a passage inside the cabinet that would provide access to shelves and racks.

Furniture that offers configuration options is modular systems. They are separate elements with different contents. Of these, you can assemble furniture according to purpose from various sections, taking into account the bedroom dimensions:

bookcase, one of the sections is reserved for books, writing instruments, albums;
section with a TV, with a hole for wire leads;
wardrobes with a mezzanine for the bedroom are suitable for storing seasonal items;
narrow pencil case for the bedroom;
wall in a small bedroom. It is convenient because it includes elements that carry different functional loads;
bedside side sections.

The modular system is optimized for different needs.

Rarely found for mass produced furniture models. Radius cabinets are made to order. These models are unusually beautiful, but expensive. The glossy radius bedroom wardrobe looks impressive, like a spaceship.

What shapes are there sliding wardrobes for the bedroom?

The appearance of the facade of a bedroom wardrobe depends not least on its type:

Wall or straight. Features a standard rectangular shape;
Angular. There are diagonal (triangle), trapezoidal (truncated honeycomb), five-walled and with contours in the form of the letters G or L;
Radial. Can be semicircular (outer radius) or sunken (inner). They look good in the interior and separately. But a special chic comes from combining them. This is how you can design a facade in the form of a smooth wave.

Nuances of choice

A bedroom closet is an important element from a functional and aesthetic point of view. It should be convenient to use and spacious. At the same time interesting from an aesthetic point of view. If interior designers are more interested in how the furniture will look externally, then furniture makers focus on the content.

What to consider when choosing:

room size;
Bedroom design;
filling;
the material from which the rest of the furniture is made;
the method and mechanism by which we open and close the cabinet.

All these points must be taken into account when choosing furniture. The type of model largely depends on this parameter. For a bedroom whose dimensions do not allow for the installation of large furniture, a narrow wardrobe in the bedroom is suitable. Small in width, it can be as high as the ceiling. You can use furniture sets. While the spacious room allows you to place different models.

The appearance of the furniture depends on this. Classic means that six-door cabinets can be installed. Elite bedrooms are often equipped with just such furniture. Modern styles dictate laconic coupe models.

The linen closet is designed to store bedding. This explains the presence of shelves and drawers.

A wardrobe is used to store clothes. Therefore, most of the filling will be suitable for hangers, and, therefore, there should be a rod with a pantograph and drawers for small laundry. Classic bedroom wardrobes have a combined content, which includes shelves for linen, drawers, and a rod.

When choosing furniture, you need to take into account, first of all, its size. Then decide where it will be located: a hanging cabinet above the bed, along the wall, by the window, bedside sections. Only then the type and components are determined. The filling of the cabinets, materials and decors of the facades are thought through.

Furniture showrooms in Saratov offer a wide selection of furniture for home improvement. Bedroom sets, furniture sets, their range will satisfy any, even the most demanding client. A beautiful bedroom with a wardrobe is an important element of interior decor.

Internal filling of bedroom wardrobes - types of storage systems

The effectiveness of filling a wardrobe in a bedroom depends on the proper combination of all its elements:

Crossbars. These are retractable rods for placing hangers. The more of them in the closet, the less ironing you will have to do. For jackets or shirts, a height of 1.4 m is enough. For dresses and long jackets, it is better to increase the parameter to 1.7 m. If you have enough space, then equip your wardrobe with a special lift. This rod allows you to move it in height and lock it at the desired level;
Boxes. They can be of any size and options with rollers are also preferable. If desired, they can be replaced with mesh baskets;
Shelves. Straight lines are suitable for clothes and clothes. For shoes, inclined ones are preferable. It's better to do them more often. Sections that are too large cause things to pile up;
Trouser. Many hangers in one frame;
Compartment for small items. Allows you to keep belts, ties and jewelry in order;
Hooks. Suitable for dressing gowns.

The less empty space inside, the more optimal the filling.

Door options

There are two door models: hinged and compartment. Mezzanines can be opened upward using pneumatic lifts. Less common are accordion cabinets with a folding door; this option is suitable if there is very little space. There is no free space to close or open the door. There are different models in terms of quantity: three-door, four-door, six-door.

The showrooms feature furniture sets from Italy. A wardrobe in a classic style bedroom is often equipped with hinged doors. Classic is a tribute to tradition, so the set includes a bed and bedside tables. Photos of their designs are presented in catalogues, most of them are luxury bedroom sets. Sets are sold individually, meaning you can select the segments you need. A light bedroom closet with stucco with three or six doors looks especially impressive. A narrow version for a small room can only be equipped with a swing system. Six-door cabinets are designed for spacious rooms.

Design and decorative options for facades

There are several features of the facade style:

Solid doors. The door is cut out with the given parameters from a single sheet;
Slotted. Provide for the insertion of a small decorative element (openwork mesh, forging, glass);
Frame. The reduced-sized sash is bordered on all sides by a profile made of a different material. Textured plastic or polished aluminum profiles are quite capable of becoming an independent decoration. The design looks like a photo frame;
Composite. They can be assembled from materials with different textures. Fragments of the desired shapes are combined into a panel using a thin fastening profile.

The following standards will help you correctly calculate the number of doors. It is better not to make the door narrower than 50 cm. Also, you should not swing it with a width of more than 1 meter. Anything beyond the limits complicates the operation of the system. In addition to traditional particle boards, the facade can be decorated:

Mirror. Instead of the usual silver, choose a tint with shades of bronze, graphite, and green. This will add originality to the design. You can also apply a matte or colored design to it. If money allows, you can opt for a complex mirror mosaic;
Glass. This fragile material has given rise to a number of original decoration methods. The stained glass window looks beautiful. True, you need special glass for this. Next, a film pattern is applied to it, highlighting each segment with a thin outline. But, you can choose a simpler option. Milky (acid etched), colored, matte or patterned. All variations can add zest to the atmosphere;
Airbrush. An original modern way of painting, which has become cramped on cars. You will need special equipment. Looks amazingly natural;
Perforation. Part of the sash or its entire surface is covered with through slots according to a template. It looks airy and original, but allows dust to enter the inside of the cabinet;
Polymerization. The surface of the material is covered with a layer of hardened durable polymer. This is especially true for loose and fibrous boards such as chipboard. Allows you to immediately process the edge. There are postforming (one-color) and softforming (two-color).

Decorative lighting

Traditional models have a large number of sections, storage systems and shelves. Some options may have an ironing board, desk and even a sleeping area.

These options are most often made to order.

Factory manufacturers equip the design of the wardrobe with additional lamps, LED strip or compact night lights. Agree that such details add comfort in daily use.

When choosing lighting equipment, you need to pay attention to the color spectrum and lighting temperature. To prevent an irritating environment in the room, it is recommended to choose identical spotlights.

Styling wardrobes for the bedroom

To avoid turning your bedroom into a room you want to escape from, pay due attention to color and shape:

Provence. A combination of rustic spontaneity with sophisticated silhouettes. Rounded backs and seats, slightly curved legs. The dominant colors are white, light pink, pale blue, and lilac. If furniture is decorated with ornaments, they are made in the form of small individual fragments;
Classic. Straight, strict contours are softened by cut and rounded corners. The furniture is mainly made of wood in warm colors. Decorative options include mirrors, perforated sashes along the contour, and painted porcelain inserts. Gray, white, delicate green and the whole range of browns are suitable;
East. No one knows more about comfort and luxury than the Arabs. Fluffy carpets, an abundance of decorative pillows, an openwork canopy over the bed and airy curtain screens. A modern built-in wardrobe with carved or perforated doors will ideally fit into the style;
Asia. This style leads in its ability to create a relaxing mood. Light colors, simple shapes, close to natural. Add real round rocks and live bamboo or other greenery. All furniture is made low, mostly without legs. In design, preference is given to natural materials. Large cabinets decorated with rattan or veneer will fit well.

Materials for production

The material from which the product will be made depends on the idea of the design solution. The main materials used are wood, MDF facades, laminated board. For high-tech furniture, it is possible to manufacture facades of composite materials, plastic with aluminum stiffeners. A bedroom wardrobe made of solid wood dictates a classic, Provence style.

Tree

Bedroom wardrobes in Provence and classic home style are made from natural wood. This is a rather labor-intensive process. The material must be dried at a certain temperature, then a furniture panel is formed from individual boards, which is kept under pressure for some time. Only after this the array is processed and decorated. Italian bedroom wardrobes, luxury sets, are inlaid with veneer and varnished.

MDF facades

This is also wood, only crushed into a fine substance and pressed using a vacuum method. The advantage of the material is its affordable price. You can cut out relief designs and patterns on it. The bedroom wardrobes in the photo with an interesting three-dimensional texture are most often made from this board. For a bedroom in a classic style, frame reliefs with characteristic ornaments are used; for minimalism, geometry is used. The facade can be made of film or painted MDF.

Depending on the designer’s ideas, MDF furniture comes in different textures. It depends on the film with which the slab is covered. The surface can be black or white, have a glossy sheen or, conversely, a matte texture.

The glossy version for a small room has an almost mirror-like shine, visually expanding it. Films for MDF have a wide range of colors and shades, even black has 12 tones.

Bedroom wardrobes in Provence, shabby chic, and country styles are covered with films that imitate the texture of wood, including aged and patinated wood. The furniture is filled with ordinary laminate.

Laminated board

The most inexpensive material, which is a pressed and glued board of sawdust. On top it is covered with a layer of thin plastic, available in a fairly wide range of colors. Inexpensive and practical material. If you have certain skills, you can make furniture yourself.

Mirror facades

A wardrobe with a mirror in the bedroom is a popular option. This is convenient, because you can immediately try on the item and immediately evaluate how it looks on you. Fully mirrored facades are used for small rooms; it seems to expand its space. Interesting bedroom wardrobe options with mirrored fronts, which are decorated using sandblasting. A pattern is applied using a jet of sand and water under high pressure.

Facade decors

Furniture without a mirror is decorated in different ways. Various designs are applied using special paints. The photo print looks great. If the room is small, a print depicting a perspective panorama will be suitable. For a minimalist style, spectacular composite materials are used. The surface texture can imitate wood, straw, bamboo and other natural materials.

The right combination of style, color and shape, taking into account the design features of the closet, will make your bedroom the most desirable place in the house. You will stop regretting that it is in this room that you spend half of your life.

Types of facades

Modern models of sliding wardrobes are decorated with different facades. The finished result and design of the entire product depend on them. What is used for this? This list includes:

Mirrors;
MDF;
Chipboard panels.

MDF and chipboard panels are covered with veneer that imitates natural wood. The color palette of doors can be varied. The surface of the wooden base can be decorated with matte film, gloss or photo printing.

Mirror facades are made from mirror fabric. The advantage of this material is the ability to visually enlarge the area and add light. This type of facade is distinguished by its high cost.

The fact is that to make such doors, a mirror of a certain thickness is used. To prevent the fragile material from cracking during operation, additional protection is used on the reverse side.

Combined models combine wood, glass and mirror. This version of the façade is distinguished by its high cost. Several finishing techniques are used in production.

Filling

It is largely determined by where the furniture will be installed and what you plan to use it for storage. Kitchen cabinets are the easiest: closed shelves of standard depth are equally well suited for dishes and appliances. Libraries need glazed or tightly closed facades so that dust does not fall on their favorite literature, and paper and ink are not destroyed by ultraviolet rays.

How to choose a wardrobe and its contents? A linen closet cannot do without wide shelves for bed linen, blankets, and pillows. The optimal depth is 600 mm, height is from 280 to 300 mm: you can put anything in such a cell. Mezzanines in any wardrobe or compartment can be used to store rarely used large items: suitcases, boxes, seasonal equipment (heaters, juicers, etc.).

A wardrobe requires a special approach when choosing content. It can be made more convenient and spacious by adding to regular shelves:

Hanging rods - at a height of 1.5 meters, if the compartment is intended for outerwear and, for example, dresses, at a height of 1 meter - if you plan to hang short jackets and blouses on hangers.
Pantographs (hanger-lift) are structures made of plastic and metal that make it easy to remove clothes from the upper sections without the need for a stepladder or stool. If you choose a ceiling-length model, a pantograph will definitely come in handy.
Mesh baskets are convenient containers for storing clothes with maximum comfortable access. Containers keep folded items fresh and allow you to fold as many clothes as possible.
Drawers - replace a free-standing chest of drawers. Suitable for underwear, belts, ties, stockings, socks.

Children bedroom

To arrange a room for children, it is better to use solid compositions in order to make maximum use of the available meters, since it is necessary to free up more space for the child’s active games.

Most often, corner designs with open shelving, as well as countertops and pull-out bottom drawers are chosen. Often, in order to save space, a bedroom set is purchased, consisting of a bed on the second tier, rising above the table and a small narrow closet.

Furniture design is considered separately, which includes the use of bright colors and surface decoration with images of cartoon characters, geometric patterns or floral patterns.

The main condition is safety, which requires a serious approach to the environmental friendliness of materials and the application of protection to hazardous surfaces (glass, mirror).

Mechanisms for furniture

Mechanisms for opening/closing doors are important for operation. Manufacturers divide all mechanisms used in furniture production into 2 types:

A durable metal frame with a groove where there are rollers for moving the cabinet door. This is the most affordable option in terms of price and quality. The disadvantage here may be a breakdown of the mechanism, the entry of small objects and dust, and when the door is slammed tightly, the door sometimes pops out.

Another type - the roller moves along a monorail. This model will last much longer. In most cases, manufacturers combine mechanisms using practical roller systems.

Models with hinged doors are suitable for rooms where they can freely open the closet. If the bedroom has different zones, then it is better to choose models with rail mechanisms.

Is it worth buying a wardrobe with a mirror?

In most cases, a variety of wardrobe models equipped with a large mirror are used to decorate bedrooms. However, such a design must be selected very carefully. Since an incorrectly selected model can visually narrow the space of the room and highlight its shortcomings.

In addition, it is important to properly place lighting fixtures in the bedroom.
