Places for storing things and household appliances are usually organized in the living room and bedroom. For this purpose, use shelves, cabinets, shelving, chest of drawers, but more practical furniture than cabinets have not yet come up with. They are roomy and allow you to store things, books, equipment, household trivia. All cabinets are conditionally divided into two categories:

       

Consider a number of advantages that make the closet an indispensable interior object in the bedroom design:

• Features of the design of doors. In ordinary cabinets, they open "on themselves", and require a separate area for the "stock". Accordingly, this zone can not be used any more, which sometimes hits the space in small rooms. Doors that open like a compartment smoothly ride on miniature wheels in special grooves in the furniture itself.
• Capacity. Despite the apparent small size of the model, a whole heap of things can fit inside. The assortment of the product offers different divisions into sections, so it will not be difficult to choose an option for yourself.
• Long service life. Doors will not loosen up and you do not have to change or lubricate the hinges. All that is required is to periodically check the smoothness of the "stroke" of the wheels in the grooves.
• Modern materials and design. The assortment of products is rich and allows you to choose a model for any style of decoration. Strong materials not only increase the service life of the product, but also have a pleasant aesthetic appearance.

Some built-in models originally zoned space. One of the doors of such a cabinet is false, and will fulfill the role of a full partition between the bedroom and the living room.

When choosing, pay attention to the quality of the running wheels. In cheaper models they are made of plastic. This material will not last long. Give preference to steel or all the same plastic, but with a Teflon coating that adds strength.

       

Varieties

Cabinets-coupes are classified according to two characteristics: construction and form. According to the first criterion of the species there are only two:

• Case. They are a standard cabinet with a standard set of necessary surfaces: a pallet, walls and a top cover. This model is mobile, it is freely moved to another place or carried with them when moving.
• Built-in. A more modern model. In fact, it is a panel of sliding doors, the sides of which are mounted in the walls. Convenient option in the presence of niches in the bedrooms of complex and non-standard forms. Built-in closets are made, as a rule, made to order and customized for each specific wall. In some cases, their construction contains a floor or walls, if required by the customer. Unfortunately, such a model is established "tightly". Owners of the apartment will not be able to move it when rearranged or taken to another dwelling.

       

Varieties of forms of mass. They allow you to literally squeeze the cabinet into the smallest space, without disturbing the design of the room. The coupe forms are divided into:

• Straight lines. The standard model is rectangular or square.
• Radius. A novelty of the past. Their front wall with doors can be convex, concave or wavy, as if repeating a smooth circular line. Looked at such models effectively and uniquely. There are also absolutely round options, which are suitable only for central placement in the room. A kind of stylish skeleton in the middle of an interior composition is a very bold design solution. Angular. Ideal for small rooms, because they significantly save space without sacrificing roominess. Such cabinets can be triangular (diagonal), L-shaped, trapezoidal. Also there are five-walled constructions. They are a combination of a L-shaped model with a triangular or trapezoidal pattern.

The assortment of designs will allow you to choose a unique option, which is suitable for your room, whether it is a spacious room or a tiny but cozy bedroom. It is important to know. Embedded models can not be attached to plasterboard walls. They simply can not withstand the severity of the design.

Variants of facades

Standard blind walls are made of chipboard, which consists of woodworking waste (shavings) and binders. The first component is completely safe for humans. Toxicity depends on the adhesive. The more quality and environmentally friendly this non-mineral glue, the more expensive the chipboard is, and accordingly the furniture made of it. In more expensive models use solid wood, characterized by increased strength.

       

Door facades are made of various materials, which more often act as a decorative component than a functional unit. Among the popular options are:

• Mirrors. The most popular type of surface. It looks elegant and stylish, and with competent lighting reflects light and visually increases the space. Mirror surfaces are universal and suitable for any style of decoration.
• Lakobel. Durable glass, on the surface of which the coloring composition is applied. The doors are not transparent. The assortment of shades is rich, which allows you to choose a tone for the overall decoration of the room.
• Plastic. Relatively inexpensive option with rich colors, but brittle and sensitive to mechanical effects.

• Decorative acrylic. Original material that only comes into fashion. Between the two thinnest plates of acrylic are placed various natural elements, most often stems, leaves, blades of grass or twigs.
• Photo printing. It is applied to paper that is glued on the back of the glass surface.
• Leather (natural and artificial). Suitable for stylish and luxurious interiors. The skin is glued to a wooden base. Often combined with mirror surfaces.
• Lakomat. Glass, which is treated on the inside with acid. As a result of the chemical reaction, a matte surface effect is obtained.

• Bamboo. Light and beautiful material of natural origin. "Wood" (more precisely, the stem pulp of this fast-growing herb) from the center of the stem is darker than the outer layer.
• Rattan. Tropical liana, which allows you to create a unique wicker pattern.
• Other types of "habitual" wood: oak, cherry, maple or pine. They look quite boring and trivial, unless of course their surface is decorated with carved patterns.

       

Quite often there are variants of sliding-door wardrobes with combined door facades. According to the design options, they are classified into the following types:

Classical	Particleboard is combined with mirrors. The most common and simple option.
Sector	A complex composition in which the surface is divided into cells and zones of different sizes from the combined materials.
Geometric	A simple kind of sector. The surface is divided into several rectangles made of different materials.
Diagonal	As you can see from the name of the facade is decorated with metal profiles, which are located at certain angles.
Wavy	Analogues of the previous type, only smooth corners are used instead of corners.

       

There are other complex compositions that combine the elements of the above types. Such facades, as a rule, are made out to order on the individual project of the designer.

Mirror or glass surfaces are also decorated with different patterns. With sandblasting machines, the dyeing composition is applied to the surface or matt images are etched from the inside.

Dimensions

The uniform standard of the sizes of cases-compartments simply does not exist. The reason for this is the versatility of the design and the variety of its forms. Before you visit the store or contact the customer, take measurements. It will take height, width and length. For embedded structures, the error of a millimeter can already become a catastrophe. Also take into account the placement of sockets, switches, openings of windows and doors. As for the depth, it usually does not exceed 0,5-, 0,6 m. But if the built-in model opens the doors to the dressing room, its dimensions depend on the possibilities of the premises and the wishes of the owners. As for the internal filling, then there are a number of rules that it is simply dangerous to violate the design and the user:

• The width of the shelves should not exceed 1 m. Otherwise, they will bend or break at all in half. Depending on what kind of gravity you will store there, their width may be even smaller.
• The width of the drawers should not exceed 0.5 m. The standard plywood, from which the pallets are made, too, will not withstand the loads. As a compromise, it is replaced by a strong chipboard or MDF.
• The maximum permissible barbell width for hangers is 1 m. Even if it is made of metal, heavy loads in the form of cumbersome outerwear, can not let it break its integrity, but bend.

These general rules apply to all cabinets not only of the coupe type.

If you chose a design on legs that are less common and are considered obsolete, then necessarily include their height in the overall figure.

Filling

Properly designed filling of the cabinet - a pledge of its increased capacity. After all, furniture is not only an interior object, but also a functional unit that solves the problem of storing things, household appliances, books and other household trivia. You can buy an already ready model in special stores or get ideas for organizing the interior space of the cupboard from your fantasy, and order the implementation of the project. Among the elements of filling are:

• Rods for hangers.
• Drawers.
• Open shelves.
• Special nets for storing shoes.

       

The combinations of their location are mass. Before you buy a particular model, think about what you have more: shoes, things on hangers or small things that are convenient to hide in boxes and shelves. Depending on the wardrobe, choose the filling, where the advantage is given to this or that element of the organization of space.

Determine with color

The design of the wardrobe in the bedroom includes not only the choice of shape and design, but also a color solution. In the interior it plays one of the main roles. Some prefer to choose monochrome models of calm shades (cream, coffee, gray, peach). They soothe and create an extra cosiness in the bedroom, but also slightly depersonalize it. But for the experiments with the palette, consider four basic theses of a combination of shades:

• Contrast combinations. Based on the choice of two colors, located on different sides of the color spectrum. Not suitable for small bedrooms, as they can eat up space.
• Monochrome combination. It implies the use of one color and its two shades: light and dark.
• Accented combination. Based on the use of a monochrome version and a fourth color, which is contrasted to the main one.
• Combination based on analogy. There are three colors in it: the main one and two additional ones that are close to it in the spectrum, but are not shades. Thus, the wardrobe is designed either in warm or in cold range.

If the interior composition allows this, then the facades can be decorated with drawings, ornaments or panoramic images (photo wallpapers). Naturally, they should fit organically into the design and conform to the principle of unity of style.

Location in the bedroom

The closet in the bedroom, which mimics the adjacent wall, is not the most visible object of the interior. Built-in designs generally "merge" with the design. The most common version of the installation of the cabinet is on the side of the bed, because it is the conditioned center of the room. Door facades are decorated with mirror surfaces, which makes this component of the interior not very noticeable, but comfortable. Also popular is the layout of the closet against the wall opposite the bed. Usually their width is chosen approximately equal to create a sense of symmetry and the flow of one piece of furniture from another. In addition, this option visually lengthens the bedroom.

When placing the cabinet, consider the following nuances:

• The distance from the doorways and windows should be at least 20-30 cm.
• In panel cabinets, the minimum permissible clearance between the top cover and the ceiling is 15 cm.
• Install the cabinets away from batteries. The tree may dry up and become numb.
• Given the location of the switches and sockets, they must remain in the access zone.

All these simple tips will help you decide on the arrangement of furniture and create not only coziness, but also the convenience of interior decoration.

Wardrobe in the closet

The built-in closet itself is a mini-wardrobe. The option is suitable for those who have all their lives dreamed of a separate room for things, but the opportunity to allocate a full-fledged room for this idea has not appeared. In fact, the facade of the built-in closet is a partition that zoned the bedroom into two different areas. The depth of such a model can be up to 0.5-0.6 m, which corresponds to the standard dimensions. In some cases, it is artificially increased, so that in the closet, you can go in whole, and even try fitting. Corner and trapezoidal designs are suitable for these purposes, which conceal more space behind the doors than might appear at first glance. To build a cabinet is certainly more expensive than to buy a finished product, but for a thorough repair that will repel the desire to rearrange furniture for the coming years, the option is ideal. The dressing room in this model will look organically and non-trivially, and the dream of the mistress of the bedroom will come true sometime.

       

Wardrobe bed

Wardrobe bed универсальный вариант для малогабаритных спален, где каждый кв. м на счету. Модели оснащены подъемным механизмом (чаще пружинного типа), к которому прикрепляется ложе. Его низ задекорирован, и в поднятом состоянии представляет собой фальш-панель. За нишей, в которую прячется кровать зачастую скрывается стенка с узкими полками. В собранном виде некоторые модели сочетают в себе шкаф и диван, на котором можно полежать днем. Конструкция может быть:

• Classical. A simple option, where there is no cabinet as such, but there is only his beautiful imitation.
• Complicated. One part of the cabinet turns into an elegant bed, and the second (straight, L-shaped) performs the basic functions of storing things.

Unfortunately, such furniture does not belong to the class of cheap, so even the most unpretentious models will cost a pretty penny. But in small bedrooms, where you want to fit everything, but nowhere, you can not do without such a solution.

       

A few recommendations for your choice

When choosing a wardrobe, determine its main characteristics:

• Construction;
• Form;
• Material of manufacture;
• Color and the presence of images, patterns;
• Matching with the selected bedroom style.

Do not settle for suspiciously profitable offers. Usually, for this economy, unscrupulous producers are hiding, who sell low-quality goods.

Pay special attention to the location of the cabinet and dimensions. In tiny bedrooms, preference is given to light shades of facades, which are combined with glass and mirrors. Here, in the course are angular and trapezoidal models. In large rooms, you can choose exquisite options for radial shapes and do not limit yourself in choosing the size of the cabinet.

       

Conclusion

The wardrobe will become a wonderful addition to the interior composition of the bedroom. In it, as a rule, a minimum of furniture is used, but each element is selected with particular care. The overall composition should adjust to a calm mood and promote a sound sleep.

Universal cabinets can be an inconspicuous background for a luxurious bed or vice versa, the accent of a room. Fortunately, modern design solutions and their variety allow you to choose a unique model for your bedroom.
