Sliding wardrobes appeared relatively recently and have already gained great popularity. A wide variety of furniture designs allows them to fit perfectly into any interior. This is facilitated by the facades of sliding wardrobes, which are sliding doors on the front side of the product. They differ in the number of elements, material of manufacture and decoration options.

Varieties of modern wardrobes: photos of interesting options

There are various variations of sliding wardrobes, which differ in shape, size and finishing material. According to the type of design, products can be cabinet-mounted or built-in. The first option is a self-contained cabinet, which consists of rear and side walls, top and bottom panels, and sliding doors. The structure can be moved from place to place. It is advisable to install such a wardrobe in low rooms, since the structure does not reach the ceiling.

Built-in cabinets can be given any style, so they fit more harmoniously into any interior, do not violate the overall harmony and look quite aesthetically pleasing

Important! An autonomous compartment has certain dimensions and a clear geometric shape, so it will be difficult to fit it into an irregular corner or place it along an uneven wall.

The wardrobe, built into a niche, is represented by a fixed module that occupies the entire space of this recess. This model does not have a back wall or top panel. If the cabinet takes up all the free space along one of the walls, it may lack side elements. This is a solid design that is made to order. A built-in swing wardrobe is assembled from ready-made elements with your own hands. The main advantage of such a model is the ability to install it anywhere, since the elements of the product are adjusted to the existing space.

The design of the built-in wardrobe is such that it completely occupies all the space allocated for it, which is used most efficiently

The design can be straight, angular or diagonal-angular. The first option is represented by a rectangular product. This form is used for frame double-leaf wardrobes. The corner model allows you to make maximum use of the corner, which is especially important for small rooms. This form is most often used for square hallways and rectangular children's rooms. Despite the seemingly small size of the product, the built-in corner wardrobe is very spacious on the inside. However, in order for the design to be convenient to use, it is important to select the internal layout.

The main advantage of a cabinet wardrobe is that it can easily be moved to any place in case of repair

The diagonal corner cabinet has a slightly convex facade. This design is characterized by maximum capacity and has an attractive appearance. However, the product is highly expensive compared to other models. This is caused by the complex shape of the facade.

Size range for sliding wardrobes of various shapes

Sliding wardrobes 2-3 m long are the most popular. Such designs are suitable for hallways, bedrooms and living rooms. The internal content can be organized in various ways, which will allow you to divide the space into several parts, independent of each other.

The number of storage compartments and doors depends on the width of the cabinet.

The popular size of a wardrobe in a living room is 1800x2400x600 mm. This design can be conveniently divided into two compartments. In the first (600 mm long) there will be stationary shelves and drawers, in the second it is necessary to install a bar.

Cabinets can have different depths. For hallways, the most suitable option is structures with a depth of 400 mm. Due to the non-standard value of this parameter, the rod here is installed perpendicular to the door. Another unconventional size is the depth of 500 mm. Such products are mainly made to order. Built-in cabinets or cabinet structures of this depth are equipped with non-standard fittings, which have a higher cost.

The most popular are sliding wardrobes 2-3 meters long.

The most optimal cabinet depth is 600 mm. For this model, you can easily select all the necessary fittings and retractable mechanisms.

Stylish classic sliding wardrobes: front options

Beautiful door panels of sliding wardrobes can have different designs. The most common doors are made of chipboard or glass, and combinations of both are often found. This option is considered cheap and allows you to smooth out the shortcomings of the room.

Mirrored doors are great for small spaces as they visually add space.

Most often, several materials are combined to achieve a stylish result. Thanks to this you can fit into any style. The original door can even be made the main part of the room’s decor.

Options for combining facades:

1. Standard. It assumes solid facades made of chipboard with imitation wood, as well as mirrored options. There are many different combinations of these materials.
2. Geometric. In this case, the canvas is not monolithic. It consists of small rectangles. They can be made of chipboard, mirror or glass. The combination of elements depends on the designer’s imagination.
3. Diagonal. Metal inserts are placed on the canvas, which divide the facade into several parts. Here, too, different finishing materials can intersect.
4. Sector. Several sectors are created, which are separated by a profile. Each part is designed according to a pre-prepared sketch.
5. Wave. Straight profiles are replaced by curved ones. This is how the facade is divided using smooth and soft lines. The most expensive option, since profiles and materials are made individually.

Each combination option looks stylish. Depending on the style of the interior, you can choose the best option. It all depends on personal tastes and preferences, as well as the initial parameters of the room.

Built-in wardrobe: built-in options of various configurations

Built-in wardrobes are made to order according to individual sizes. There are several design variations. The most common is a wall-to-wall cabinet. This model allows you to create a full-fledged dressing room in the room. This is the most economical solution, since the product consists of sliding doors attached directly to the floor, ceiling and walls, and internal filling elements.

One of the configuration options for a built-in wardrobe is a model in which the walls of the room itself take on the role of walls.

A built-in wardrobe in the living room can be made with open shelves, which are recommended to be used for installing a TV, stereo system, placing books, photographs and other accessories.

The panel-to-panel design has side walls. This is a good option for a room with two exits that are located on the same plane. If the front door is located in the middle of the wall, the most appropriate option, allowing rational use of free space, is a model with a mezzanine above the opening. The wardrobe frames the door around the perimeter, making it the highlight of the interior.

The most common configuration option is to install a wardrobe in a niche of the room, which is not very convenient to use for any other purposes.

The design with one side surface is represented by the wall-to-panel model. It is advisable to arrange this option in a room with a corner door. A two-door wardrobe with a mezzanine is convenient in case of high ceilings in the apartment, when it is not practical to install doors that are too high. The mezzanine can be used to store things that are rarely used.

To organize a storage system under the stairs or in the attic, you should use a built-in wardrobe under a sloping ceiling. This design will eliminate broken corners and rationally use cramped space. However, the manufacture of such a cabinet is a complex, labor-intensive process that requires precise calculations for each detail.

The most optimal material for a built-in wardrobe is chipboard.

The best option

Chipboard, which is used for the production of sliding wardrobes, is characterized by a wide range of panel colors, thickness and edge processing methods. Upon request, you will be offered the same object, but in several versions: from chipboard produced in EU countries, Eastern European countries or domestically produced. Options may vary in price and quality. The inside of the wardrobe is made of chipboard panels and metal honeycomb parts. Manufacturers use similar honeycomb elements (shelves, baskets, etc.). The level of complexity of the design and the degree of quality of the cabinet depend both on the level of the brand, and on the experience of the designers and the professionalism of the assemblers.

Russian manufacturers purchase materials and fittings from imported manufacturers to make cabinets. But the product in this case is still not cheap.

It is worth noting that cabinets of very decent quality are produced by large Russian manufacturers. Here you have the choice of the most suitable option: free-standing or built-in wardrobe.

Cabinets are installed as furniture in the hallway, bedroom, kitchen or office. For example, a free-standing cabinet will be equipped with all the standard elements of cabinet furniture: base, floor, ceiling and walls.

The built-in version uses walls, floor and ceiling as its elements. Once you install such a wardrobe, you won’t be able to move it anywhere. And when you get tired of it, rearranging it will be accompanied by the risk of repairing a subsequently damaged wall.

But, still, the option of a separate cabinet is much more effective. It can be easily moved to a new location. For these purposes, when ordering a cabinet, you should provide an option with adjustable legs.

The interior of the cabinet is designed according to the client's whim. There may be regular shelves and drawers. If you plan to store something in a closet, then the drawers can be made like pull-out ones. In addition to shelves, you can mount mesh baskets moving on special rollers.

Mezzanines can be installed on top. If short items are stored in the closet, then they can be arranged in more than one row. Ordering and installing a mini elevator is now very expensive. There are good options with overhead shelves for storing things.

There is a unique opportunity to build a refrigerator into the cabinet, for which it is necessary to indicate this point in the project in advance, because it is necessary to make a support for it with increased load-bearing capacity. Some people will like to integrate consumer electronics or organize a work station with a computer.

The most popular option for a wardrobe is a model with drawers and shelves made of chipboard. When ordering a cabinet with individual parameters and design, you can count on the manufacturer to combine existing standards with the client’s requirements.

The interior decoration of a modern closet is based on three standard components, namely: honeycomb baskets or shelves, hangers and racks. Cellular metal baskets are combined into modules with the ability to transform or move freely inside the cabinet. This promotes good air circulation inside.

In addition to regular shelves and drawers, there are special devices for storing things. Escalator-type shoe shelves or carousel platforms spinning shoes in front of your face, as well as elevator hangers for placing clothes, will surprise the most demanding customers.

wardrobe lighting

An effective built-in lighting system is an integral part of a fashionable wardrobe. Lamps are located everywhere: on cornices or shelves and panels. Buyers have the privilege to choose mortise, wall-mounted or surface-mounted models of lighting elements. The backlight mechanism can be automatic or forced.

Design and types of sliding door systems for built-in wardrobes

The sliding door mechanism consists of the following elements:

• upper and lower frames, which are attached to the side panels, hidden behind the guides, and ensure reliable fixation of the rollers in one plane;
• two guide rollers;
• asymmetrical profile, which is located along the side sections of the door, replacing the upper handles and fittings.

Sliding system option for wardrobe doors

Guides are used for more than just supporting roller carriages. The upper bar, having U-shaped grooves into which the upper edge of the sash is inserted, eliminates the doors from oscillating when they move. There is predominantly no load on the top rail. The lower guide with a rounded relief, which takes the main load from the doors, is designed to move the sashes.

Rollers located in the lower and upper parts of the structure serve to hold the sash in a vertical position. The carriage receives virtually no load. The lower rollers are equipped with bearings, which provide the system with reliability and good mobility. These are very durable products, the size of which is larger than that of the upper elements. The design includes stopper antennae.

Variant of hanging mechanism for wardrobe doors

Mechanism options:

• mounted:
• suspension;
• with side profile;
• frame

The hinged mechanism is the only option with a top profile. It makes an unpleasant sound and is not very stable. To move the valves you need to make some effort. There is only a top option that can be attached to the ceiling. It should not be used for the bedroom. The hanging mechanism consists of two guides and is fixed to the frame from the inside. The load is distributed approximately in half, thereby causing the door to warp.

Types of sliding systems and frame profiles of sliding wardrobes

The mechanism with a side profile is rigid, which allows for smooth and smooth movement of the doors. The system may fail if it hits an obstacle. Such a mechanism jams much less often. The frame type is applied along the entire perimeter of the sash, thereby fixing it against deflection. It adds weight to the structure, which requires especially strong rollers. The frame mechanism with the bottom stop is the most reliable. It should be given preference when making a custom-made cabinet built into a niche.

Decor

To create beautiful wardrobes with an extraordinary design, manufacturers use a wide variety of decorating technologies:

1. Photo printing. This technique allows you to apply an image of any complexity to glass, mirror, chipboard and more. The design is bright and rich.
2. Glossy facades. To give the surface an attractive gloss, it is coated with special enamel or varnish. As an alternative, you can use a special film or initially purchase furniture with plastic inserts. This type of decor always looks impressive, and thanks to its ability to reflect the light falling on the facade, the room visually increases (the same applies to mirrors).
3. Sandblasting drawing. This technology involves drawing textured patterns on glass or a mirror surface. The directed air flow has a mechanical effect on the coating, literally scratching it, but the designs turn out to be very elegant.
4. Mirror doors. A reflective surface without any decoration will look very attractive, but many designers don't stop there. Drawings and ornaments are applied to it using various methods, resulting in incredible compositions.
5. A combination of different types of glass. The following combinations look especially beautiful: matte + mirror + transparent, multi-colored and tinted. These can be simple geometric compositions or original patterns.
6. Laser or diamond engraving of mirror surfaces. This technology allows you to apply a beautiful image or ornament that will never be erased or fade. It is not easy to execute, which is why the cost of such products increases significantly.

Tips for choosing guides for sliding wardrobes, installation features

Another interesting way to decorate a wardrobe is to decorate it with LED lights and strips. Illumination of the facade will create a unique flavor in the room and make this piece of furniture the main accent of the interior.

If you install a lighting system inside niches or shelves, this will make finding things much easier. Unlike all other decor ideas, this method is easy to implement with your own hands.

Internal filling of a wardrobe: overview of various solutions

To make the most of the wardrobe, it is important to rationally use every centimeter of internal space, which must be properly planned. The area of ​​the structure is conventionally divided into three zones: upper, middle and lower, which is clearly shown in the diagram of the wardrobe. The top compartment is a convenient place to store seasonal items and other rarely used wardrobe items.

Proper filling of the wardrobe is a guarantee of large capacity and convenience of the room

It is recommended to use pantographs or rods to place clothes on hangers. The latter should be located parallel to the doors in case of a significant cabinet width or perpendicularly if the structure is narrow. The middle zone is used for storing everyday items of clothing. There are a large number of spacious shelves, drawers and compartments with rods. The bottom part is convenient for storing shoes. To do this, you can use retractable nets. Household appliances such as an iron, vacuum cleaner or ironing board can also be located here. Various filling options are shown in the photo of the wardrobe inside.

Helpful advice! It is recommended to fill the corner area with hanger bars.

Shelves can be stationary, retractable or mesh. The first option is represented by strong components that can withstand significant weight. Therefore, they can store not only items of clothing, but also equipment. Pull-out shelves are convenient to use for shirts, T-shirts, T-shirts, shorts and jeans. Mesh structures are designed for storing ties, belts, suspenders and other small items.

The location of the rods will depend on the depth of the wardrobe - perpendicular or parallel to the door

Filling for a wardrobe depending on the nature of the room

The filling option for the wardrobe is selected in accordance with the purpose of the room. For the hallway, it is important to organize a compartment with a rod for storing long seasonal items. Seasonal shoes will be located at the bottom, and hats at the top. It is important to provide hooks for umbrellas and a compartment for bags. It is also important to organize a shelf or drawer for shoe care products, which is clearly shown in the picture of the cabinet.

If the size of the hallway allows it, it is better to choose a roomy corner model

For the bedroom, the interior content will be different from the hallway wardrobe. Street clothes and shoes are not stored here. The optimal filling is a large number of stationary or pull-out shelves for storing clothes and bedding. The drawers will contain underwear and socks. In the area with the barbell, wrinkled clothes should be placed on hangers.

Helpful advice! In the closet in the room you can hide a folding ironing board, dressing table, radio and television equipment.

The internal content of a children's wardrobe will differ significantly from the content of a wardrobe for adults. For a small child, it is important that everything necessary is in the access area at the bottom of the closet, where you can place not only items of clothing, but also toys. Various options for placing internal elements are clearly shown in the pictures of the wardrobe. Clothes on hangers should be placed on a rod that is adjustable in height. You need to choose the required value depending on the age of the child.

Helpful advice! To prevent the children's room from being cluttered with unnecessary furniture, a computer table and shelves for storing notebooks and textbooks can be built into the wardrobe.

You need to approach filling your bedroom closet responsibly

In the living room there is a wardrobe - the photos clearly show this - it is advisable to equip it with open shelves where you can place books, beautiful dishes, souvenirs and photo frames. It is also recommended to organize space for storing sports equipment here.

Recommendations for organizing the internal space of a wardrobe

The layout of the wardrobe inside should correspond to the number of sliding doors. If there are two of them, then there should be the same number of vertical sections. In the case of wide sliding elements, several compartments can be created.

Filling a sliding wardrobe with the specified dimensions

Helpful advice! It is recommended to install sliding doors with a width of no more than 1 m.

To place hangers, use rods whose length should exceed the width of the compartment with shelves. The optimal product is a length of no more than 90 cm, while the width of the compartment should not be more than 60 cm. The recommended height of shelves for storing things is 35-40 cm, for books - 25-35 cm. For convenient placement of short items of clothing on hangers the opening should be made 85-100 cm high, and for storing long items of clothing - 150-165 cm. To make access to things convenient, the optimal depth of the structure should not exceed 65 cm.

Helpful advice! To correctly calculate the size of the opening for the barbell, add 15-20 cm to the longest clothing.

The upper part in the form of a mezzanine is used for storing large, rarely used items such as blankets, bedding, bags, suitcases. The height of the compartment should be 45-60 cm. Underwear, tights, socks, scarves, hats and gloves can be conveniently stored in shallow drawers 12-15 cm high. They should be placed in such a way that the door frame does not impede their movement. The handles on them should be recessed inward so as not to interfere with the free movement of the doors.

Accessories for wardrobes

The drawer must roll out completely during use and not fall. It depends on the quality and type of guide rails. The most advanced designs are equipped with a closer mechanism, thanks to which the drawer slides smoothly and quietly into place.

The interior space of the wardrobe should be divided into three parts: upper, lower and middle

Colored sliding wardrobes: features

When ordering a colored set, don’t be too colorful. Even if you really want to make the room bright, limit yourself to two or three contrasting shades. Excessive diversity will worsen the appearance of the room. The cabinet will take all the attention.

The design should complement the overall picture, and not stand out. This applies to complex styles that do not tolerate combinations: minimalism, hi-tech, classic.

When choosing the color of a sliding wardrobe, you need to take into account the purpose of the room. Dark colors will be inappropriate in a nursery, bright, flashy ones in a bedroom, and muted pastels in a living room.

You should always look at the size of the room. A small room can be visually enlarged with mirrors and light colors. Dark shades in furniture are acceptable if there is a lot of space and light in the room.

Acid shades are capricious. They quickly become boring and your eyes get tired of them. Do not make the entire set an acid shade. You simply cannot stay in such a room for long. Flashy colors give you headaches, spoil your mood, and cause stress. Individual, small inserts can be made with acid, for example, borders around doors, fittings, and shelf rims.

Materials for making sliding wardrobes: photo examples

The most popular and in demand material for making wardrobes is chipboard. The board is made of wood chips with the addition of formaldehyde resins. This is an inexpensive, practical, reliable and durable material that is affordable. You can buy a finished chipboard structure or purchase a built-in wardrobe to order.

Laminated chipboard, which is available in various colors and has a variety of textures simulating natural wood, is very popular. The disadvantage of this material is the impossibility of fine processing. Therefore, it is not easy to create beautiful, elegant parts from laminated chipboard. Manufacturers' catalogs present simple, conservative models of good quality at an affordable price.

MDF is more flexible to work with. It consists of small wood shavings with the addition of lignite and paraffin.

• cabinet – free-standing designer wardrobes with a full set of parts: two sides, a bottom, a lid, a back wall. They can be angular, radius and straight. Corner furniture is compact, spacious and ideal for small spaces. The key feature of radius products is their elegant curved shapes, while straight ones are able to be installed against any wall.

The practicality of a compartment-type cabinet depends on how well thought out the internal contents are . We would like to provide you with a list of the main components that make a furniture product as functional as possible:

• shelves – standard and retractable, designed for storing things. For ease of use, the distance between shelves should be 30-40 cm;
• holders for trousers, belts, scarves;
• mechanical and electrical booms;
• nets for shoes - they are installed at an angle, so they provide convenient storage of sandals, boots and other products;
• retractable baskets.

Sliding wardrobes are made from high-quality materials with good performance characteristics

Stylish sliding wardrobes with a non-trivial facade

In addition to traditional materials that are used to decorate cabinet doors, modern technologies and their various combinations are used. Facades can be decorated with stained glass, sandblasted ornaments and photographic images. A variety of designs and patterns are applied to frosted glass or a mirror surface using a sandblasting machine. You can choose the appropriate version from ready-made options or create a custom-made ornament. The price of a built-in wardrobe with such a facade is quite high.

Currently, many manufacturers apply colorful images to glass, which is clearly shown in the photo of sliding doors. The facade in this case can be glossy or matte. For small rooms it is recommended to choose panoramic images; for the bedroom you can use a family photo.

Sandblasted glass facades of sliding wardrobes not only look great, but also bring some freshness and lightness to the interior

Helpful advice! The photo façade must match the chosen design of the room, and also match the color scheme with the rest of the furniture.

Stained glass facades look extraordinary and expensive. A living interior element created in this way will fit perfectly into a classic bedroom, living room or hallway. Such decoration has a fairly high cost, but a good quality stained glass facade will last for many years without losing its original beauty.

In order to diversify sliding wardrobes, which generally consist of only several panels of sliding doors, a combination of colors is used to create facades

How to choose the right cabinet fronts

If you decide to choose a facade for a wardrobe, you must adhere to artistic standards and carefully study the cost. Know what function it will perform. You should not place cabinets with mirror or glass fronts in children's rooms - a child can easily break them. In addition, you will have to constantly clean it, as marks remain on such a surface. As for other rooms, it all depends on what you prefer, what you like, and also on financial capabilities.

Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Think in advance about what kind of façade the cabinet will have, weigh all the pros and cons.

If it seems that choosing a facade is not easy, we assure you that there is nothing difficult about it. Cost comes first. You need to decide whether you will save or allow yourself any luxury. If you choose a budget option, then a regular one covered with PVC film will do. The color scheme here is very diverse. This cabinet will suit any decor. If the room is small, “compressed,” then a cabinet with a mirror or glass facade should be installed here.
