Apart from historically established special dressing rooms, designers have not yet come up with anything more convenient for storing things than a wardrobe. However, in addition to functional convenience, this modern design should also be stylish and look good in your home. The fact is that due to its impressive size, the wardrobe in the interior of 2022 will in no way be able to remain invisible. A stylish piece of furniture, made of high-quality and modern materials, with good components and fittings can be used for a very long time. For this reason, you should decide in advance which cabinet design to choose. Basically, the choice depends on the style of the room, personal preferences, and, of course, you need to take into account which models of sliding wardrobes are most popular in 2022. After all, you must admit, there is no point in ordering a wardrobe that is no longer fashionable.
Sliding wardrobe 2022 – smooth façade is trending

However, if this option seems too boring and restrained to you, you can add beautiful decor to it. These can be parallel lines in the horizontal direction, they will divide your wardrobe in the very middle, you can divide the doors into identical rectangles or create a small geometric pattern.
Advice! The sliding wardrobe 2022 with a simple and smooth facade can be placed in any room, not only in the hallway or bedroom, but also in the living room, office, and dining room.

A special trend is the inconspicuous (hidden) wardrobe 2022. This is considered the most fashionable option today. The structure of the model, invisible to the naked eye, is created by the facade, which imitates the covering of a wall.
The cabinet can be finished with mirror, wood or plastic panels, even covered with wallpaper, but a minimal number of seams will make these surfaces look like a wall in any case. The design depends only on the style in which the entire room is made.
On a note! Using the sliding design of the doors, you can store your personal belongings even in the front living room, saving space. At the same time, the interior design will not suffer at all. Only your family members and closest friends will know about the presence of a wardrobe in your home.

Glossy facade is still popular
- The 2022 wardrobe with bright and shiny glossy facades has not gone out of fashion this year either. However, they are now subject to slightly different requirements. More recently, designers advised diluting a monochromatic glossy fabric with an even brighter edging, but now it is not recommended to do this.
- The trend today is restraint and conciseness, and therefore there is no need to add any significant decor to the snow-white shiny facade of the wardrobe, and it should not be brighter than silver. However, it is acceptable to place a small drawing.
- Bright flowers or prints of overseas landscapes are no longer in fashion, but some natural texture, such as marble, looks truly modern and stylish.
Advice! If you still want to make a drawing on the cabinet, it should not be bright, but blurry, reminiscent of a shadow or fog rather than a picture.

Dimensions
Kitchen fronts made of different materials differ in thickness, weight and other parameters. This data should be studied in advance in order to take into account the size and weight when choosing fittings and closers. The following width options are available for hinged kitchen furniture facades:
- 396 mm;
- 570 mm;
- 713 mm;
- 900 mm.
The length will be 296, 396, 446, 496 or 596 mm. Retractable modules are equipped with facades with a width of 140 or 283 mm, the height is the same as for wall-hung ones. This applies to the standard size range; For structures made according to individual drawings, the dimensions can be almost any.
Thickness is also important. It is she who determines what fittings will be installed on the facade. For example, panel materials are usually standard. The thickness of MDF facades reaches 16-25 mm, but for chipboard it will be 16 or 18 mm; mortise handles cannot be mounted into this type of facade.
Wooden facades are fashionable
Today, the world is swept by a wave of naturalness and the fight for an eco-friendly lifestyle, which is completely justified, and this is reflected in the fashion for interior design. For this reason, facades with large wooden doors are at the peak of fashion and popularity.
They can be made not only from veneer, but also from simple high-quality plywood or, if material capabilities allow, natural solid wood.

Completely smooth facades covered with veneer, almost without any pattern, are not very relevant. They gradually gave way to the defiantly expressed texture of a living tree.
- A large number of knots on your closet door is the most fashionable thing today. Such a piece of furniture can be placed in any room, but if you are able to support the presence of the cabinet with similar decor and other furnishings, you can safely assume that you have managed to keep up with the changing fashion in the field of interior design.
Practical people will prefer this type of cabinet design.

Designer tips
- If you decide to order a wardrobe for a small kitchen and “hide” all the utensils from prying eyes, turning the room into a dining room, you can choose a “cappuccino” shade with a slight tint of barely noticeable yellow. For country and Provence styles, which continue to be popular, wooden facades can be artificially “aged”
- If you are installing a wardrobe in a loft-style apartment, choose cool shades of wooden facades. However, smooth veneered fronts in wardrobes are still installed in children's rooms; a large amount of cheerful decor saves the situation. Here they are usually guided not by fashion, but by the baby’s personal preferences and convenience.
Materials for production
The vast majority of sliding wardrobes are made from two types of material:
Laminated chipboard, which is a chipboard covered with a decorative laminate, which, as a rule, imitates valuable wood species.
Chipboard is wood particles pressed at high temperatures and bound with formaldehyde resin. The ends of the chipboard must be covered with edging tape, since the material is afraid of moisture. The quality and durability of chipboard is noticeably inferior to MDF.
MDF (from English Medium Density Fiberboard), or medium density fiberboard in Russian, is made from small sawdust, to which paraffin or rosin is added as a water repellent.
For strength, synthetic resins (4-8%) are also added. MDF is an environmentally friendly and harmless material, has a high degree of mechanical strength and is not afraid of moisture. The cost of a wardrobe made of MDF is an order of magnitude higher than that of a similar product made of laminated chipboard.
Sliding wardrobes in a classic style
For a very long time, there was a strong opinion among designers that modern wardrobes and classic style are practically incompatible. Indeed, our imagination does not accept a room with a fireplace, heavy curtains, massive furniture and a wardrobe.
However, modern designers offer a new solution: order door facades for a living room in a classic style that resemble screeds on fabric; their appearance should be supported by the color of curtains and upholstered furniture. This is a new solution, very non-standard and interesting.

A simple way out, which will also help to “fit” the cabinet façade into the classic style, is to carefully select similar shades of the floor covering and façade. If the flooring in a small room is dark in color, then such a wardrobe 2022 will look bad, it will visually narrow the space.
In this case, designers strongly advise making only one frame to match the shade of the floor, while the facade itself may well be mirrored. A mirror almost always saves the situation, so we’ll talk about such facades in particular.

Use in the kitchen
In the kitchen, a similar design can serve as a place to place household appliances, a cupboard, or a bar.
Most often, colors are selected for built-in appliances that contrast the interior content; for other items, the color scheme will match the style and decoration of the kitchen.
Mirror facade in wardrobes
The main reason for the popularity of facades on sliding wardrobes with a mirror layer is not only their versatility, but also their high aesthetics. For many years, such options have not gone out of fashion.
A sliding wardrobe with mirrored doors will not only visually enlarge the room, but also make it significantly brighter. In this case, the surface of the mirror will be the main decoration both in your bedroom and in the living room, because the facade will help visually expand the space, and the presence of the closet itself will help get rid of unnecessary things that clutter your home.
Important! The mirror looks harmonious and appropriate in any living room: no matter how it is decorated - in the style of minimalism, loft or art deco.

Separately, we should dwell on the role of mirrored facades in the low lighting of our rooms. The light, reflected in the mirrors, spreads softly and comfortably throughout the entire room, making it much lighter. But the most advantageous effect is obtained in rooms where the windows face the north or west.
Pleasant shades of beige are trendy this year.
Until recently, mirrored wardrobe doors were richly and brightly decorated with stained glass painting or fusing. Now that naturalness is in fashion, it’s better to stick to sandblasting.
Advice! If you really want to make your 2022 wardrobe fashionable and unique, you can order a painting. It is better to limit yourself to a small ornament in the general style of the room. The only exception is, perhaps, an apartment in the “pop art” style, which is decorated very brightly.
A mirror can soften the interior decor
The mirrors that are inserted into the wooden façade look very stylish. Initially, the visual impression is created that in front of you is a mirror in a rich and wide baguette.
This option is suitable for a classic style in the living room. This technique is just coming into fashion, it is not hackneyed and will become more and more popular every year.

On a note! The fronts of the wardrobe will look great with both a simple mirror and frosted glass. The main thing is that they fit well into the overall style of the interior.
Additional equipment
As convenient additional accessories, built-in cabinets provide space for pull-out ottomans, bar counters or work tables.
Often such elements are equipped with additional spotlights or a nice LED lamp.
Internal filling
The cabinet is filled with regular and roll-out shelves, drawers, rods for outerwear, and shoe racks. All their sizes can be changed before installation, adapting to the characteristics of each family.
What is better: install or embed?
A built-in wardrobe in its simplest form is usually a sliding door that spans an alcove or similar portion of the room, thus creating a small walk-in closet.
The idea of a wardrobe in a narrow hallway without a back wall can be very interesting and attractive: it saves money, and the back and side walls return scarce space. This is really worth thinking about if you don't plan on moving anytime soon.
It is unlikely that the parameters of your new home will allow you to use built-in wardrobe elements from your old apartment. In addition, a wardrobe consisting only of a frame and a door will noticeably lose in strength compared to its full-fledged counterpart.
In addition, if the wall on which the wardrobe shelves are located is not perfectly straight, gaps and cracks will form between the shelves and the wall.
Therefore, it is worth ordering a complete wardrobe, which will include all the necessary elements.
Unlike a classic wardrobe, a sliding wardrobe is a technology with a free internal architecture, without divisions or extra shelves and partitions, with a huge internal volume that allows you to distribute everything you need.
