The main advantage of sliding wardrobes is their special spaciousness and versatility. A wide range of models allows designers to create unique interiors that amaze with their beauty and originality, and stylish sliding wardrobes can replace traditional storage systems and become a real decoration of any room.
Variety
Traditionally, the living room stands out from other rooms with a fairly large space, suitable for installing not only a soft set with a coffee table. The corresponding set can easily complement a cabinet consisting of:
- Wall slide;
- Book library;
- Display cabinet for dishes;
- Closed design for clothing.
As a result, you have to choose a themed furniture product based on the existing or future interior style, as well as personal requirements. After all, among the cabinet users there will always be aesthetes, film buffs, second-hand book dealers and housewives.
Wall slide
The corresponding model is attached almost flush to a long wall, so that when ready to stretch along it. Moreover, the structure is assembled from several products:
- One or two side cabinets;
- Open or closed shelves;
- TV stand or home theater.
These elements can be separated or joined together by a supporting frame. But in any case, the finished wall looks quite solid.
True, a modular living room with a wardrobe, or rather its cabinet, mostly comes without a back plank. It’s not surprising, because the center of gravity (fireplace, TV, cinema) should emphasize the empty background.
Book library
Even an ordinary shelving unit can turn into a closet if you add glazed hinged doors to it. The latter will be needed to quickly find the necessary literature. Also, a book library often has open corner shelves for photo frames and other accessories.
Below the bookshelves there may be drawers. But these departments seem monolithic compared to the shelves filled with books. After all, looking at the photo of a living room with a wardrobe in the form of a library, it becomes clear that literature serves not only as a storehouse of knowledge, but also as a colorful frame.
If a book library has a closed section, the door of which, when folded, becomes a tabletop, then the corresponding design can be safely called a secretary. However, the latter in its traditional design is small and looks more like a chest of drawers than a wardrobe.
A selection of fashionable wardrobes in harmony with the interior space in the photo
These days, cabinets come in a variety of styles. They have also become practical and fashionable home furnishings designed to store items such as clothes, shoes, bags, bedding, books and even household appliances. Depending on the functionality of the room, its size and other features, you can easily choose a wardrobe that will complement the existing design of the apartment and become an integral element of the living space. Get acquainted with the different types and options of sliding wardrobes thanks to the presented photo gallery, and also take advantage of practical tips for choosing them.
Today you can easily design a custom closet by choosing the dimensions, compartments and material to be used. The main thing is to decide for which room you need this type of furniture and where it will be installed. You can plan your dream wardrobe in just a few simple steps:
Manufacturers use different materials when creating sliding wardrobes, because the latest technologies make this possible. The presented wardrobes are modernized furniture, therefore finishing materials are used for their manufacture, which easily fit into the modern style of the interior.
Composite particle board
This type of raw material is also called laminated chipboard. This is a fairly inexpensive material used in furniture production. The color palette is huge, so you can order a wardrobe to suit every design of the room.
Natural wood - the prestige of the room
Sometimes more expensive natural wood is used. People who prefer to see only environmentally friendly materials in the interior of their rooms use wood of natural origin.
New-fashioned fittings - addition and decoration of sliding wardrobes
Metal, glass, mosaic and other materials are used for decoration. The best sliding mechanism for a modern wardrobe is the Komandor sliding system.
All sliding wardrobes are divided into two main types: built-in and cabinet. The first and second types are distinguished by practicality and functionality. The choice depends only on the personal preferences of the customer and the capabilities of the room where the structure will be installed.
Built-in wardrobe - significant financial savings
The built-in type of furniture allows you to save money when ordering a wardrobe, since the design initially involves the use of a stationary floor, wall, ceiling of the room, as the top, side, bottom and rear planes of the wardrobe. The shape and size of the cabinet must correspond to the parameters of the installation location. The installation of the main components on the ceiling, walls and floor must be rigid. The built-in design makes it easy to hide defects in planning, as well as effectively fill what you consider to be useless space. The wardrobe can be installed in a niche or in a doorway. It is impossible to move such a cabinet from place to place, which can be a big disadvantage of this type of design.
Cabinet wardrobe - mobile furniture
The cabinet type of the wardrobe, unlike the built-in type, looks like a traditional wardrobe. It has walls, a ceiling and a bottom. A distinctive feature of such furniture is the presence of sliding doors and convenient organization of various drawers, shelves and hangers. The wardrobe can be moved or transferred to other rooms, and also taken with you if you move. When choosing such a wardrobe, it is important to consider the size and layout of the room.
The sliding wardrobe is divided into several more subtypes, allowing you to choose one of the most suitable projects:
To change the shape of the room and give the interior originality, non-standard versions of sliding wardrobes are often used, which can be viewed in the photo.
Depending on your preferences, you can choose a wardrobe with predominant shelves or hangers. Hangers, in turn, can be in the front or back. Typically, closets have items such as shoe baskets, drawers for linen, hangers for ties and trousers. To place each item in its place, you must carefully consider the design and internal content of the wardrobe. The selected design must have a suitable number of open and closed shelves, niches, boxes and other elements in order to properly organize the space and store the maximum number of things. Additionally, a visually appealing wardrobe can be a great addition to your room and make it more comfortable, neat and stylish. Check out practical closet interior design options that will allow you to organize your wardrobe in the most convenient way.
A wardrobe for an adult's bedroom should be chosen in accordance with the style of the room. It is desirable that the color of the structure be calm with strict and expressive lines. But the best option for a children's room would be a bright and unusual model. The main element of the cabinet design is the door. It can be made of mirrors, glass, decorative plates and other materials. A mirrored wardrobe is ideal for a dark and small bedroom.
The wardrobe in the hallway will determine the style of the interior and the atmosphere of the room as a whole. Particular attention is paid to the wardrobe compartment. It should be harmoniously placed in the available space and not spoil the proportions of even a limited hallway. A wardrobe for a corridor should be practical, but also stylish and elegant.
A living room closet should have different sections: closed or open. Open shelves with dishes, decorative accessories, books, audio, souvenirs brought from travel or original figurines will look very beautiful. In closed sections and niches you can store linen, seasonal clothing, household appliances and other necessary items. Almost everything can be placed in a wardrobe. In this comfortable furniture you can place your photo albums, lay out blankets, pillows, objects for various purposes and documents. Living room wardrobe shelving can be made of clear or frosted glass, and the doors can be open or solid, depending on what you plan to store in this closet. If you are going to put books, paintings, decorative figurines and beautiful dishes on the shelf, it is better to choose a glass door. Often, in order to give individual character and originality to the furniture in the hall, satin glass facades or stylish stained glass windows are used. Open sections can be decorated with built-in lamps, which effectively complement the expressive appearance of the wardrobe.
The choice of sliding wardrobes today is huge. When you order furniture yourself, you can think about a spacious and stylish wardrobe along the entire length of the wall. In this cabinet option you can place several sections for clothes, open shelves for a TV, stereo system, home theater and an aquarium. A sliding wardrobe is a godsend for a modern person, as it can be mounted anywhere in the room, containing all the necessary items.
Wardrobe
The corresponding product is distinguished by the presence of a back wall, which prevents things from coming into contact with the finish. There are many sections for storing clothes and other things:
- Cabinets;
- Closed shelves;
- Open shelves;
- Drawers;
- Fold-out compartments.
Moreover, there are always more closed shelves than open ones. There are also few drawers and folding compartments, but they are voluminous. The cabinets are tall and have rails for hangers. Therefore, a living room with a wardrobe can accommodate shirts, jackets, coats, etc.

Composition of accessories
Cabinet fittings are made from different alloys of metal and plastic. While guides and rollers can be made of plastic, fasteners such as bolts must be made of steel or bronze. The same goes for the outerwear bar.
Obviously, metal fittings are stronger and more reliable than plastic ones. On the other hand, thanks to the latter material, the cost of themed furniture is reduced.
Cabinet Installation
Modern models are dismountable so that they can be conveniently transported and assembled on site. The question is where to place the cabinet? To answer it, you need to decide in advance on the interior style. This will allow you to select a specific cabinet and install it in one of the following locations:
- Along the entire long wall of the hall - if the length of the product is more than 1.8 m (wall-slide, library);
- In the center of a specific wall - if the model is round or small (showcase, sliding wardrobe);
- In the corner or close to the wall, on the side - if the design is a triangular corner showcase, an L-shaped wall or a long cabinet for storing things.
The main thing is that the structure is not distant from the windows, i.e. stretched along one of the walls close to the glazing. And if the appropriate location cannot be achieved, then local lighting must be organized next to the cabinet.
The exception is the cramped interior of the living room with a closet and large windows that let in enough light to illuminate the small space and the furniture in particular.

Cabinet filling
It is clear that the home library should be filled with books, and the display case with festive and decorative dishes. However, the target audience mainly likes a cabinet for storing various things. Moreover, things must be stored in the right departments:
- Long shelves - suitable for linen;
- Middle shelves - usually located on top, and therefore created for headwear and rare items;
- Shoe rack - the same shelves, but at the bottom, where the shoes belong;
- Drawers - welcome things that do not wrinkle and do not need to be hung;
- Mesh baskets are an analogue of drawers that are well ventilated;
- Crossbar - designed for hanging hangers and outerwear, respectively.
Only open compartments allow you to place different accessories inside. And if the compartments have doors with translucent glazing, then they are designed for documents.
As a result, a themed living room with a linen closet welcomes maximum internal compartments, including baskets. The main thing is to keep characteristic things inside them. Any household chemicals, cosmetics and electrical appliances are out of the question (especially since the listed things emit an unpleasant odor).

Additional recommendations
If you want to arrange an original and reliable wardrobe in your living room, it is recommended to order the corresponding product from furniture makers, guided by individual requirements and space planning.
The greater the load on the shelves, the thicker their slabs should be. For bookshelves, a 20-22 mm load-bearing base is suitable. The same goes for a tabletop for a TV or home theater. True, the substrate can be made of solid wood, which itself is durable. Therefore, the thickness of its sheets can be 18 mm.
A dark cabinet suits a light finish, and a light counterpart suits a dark finish, respectively. A living room with a modern-style wardrobe is distinguished by smooth lines and a minimum of details. Therefore, the façade of this product is predominantly closed.
The classic model is the absolute opposite of the modern one. But even she welcomes the design in one or two colors.
A wardrobe with sliding doors saves usable space, even when the doors are open. This is because they work in the same plane, which means they do not go out like swinging canvases.
A mirror on the closet doors is not a necessary frame if the closet itself is in the living room. A reflective surface is more appropriate inside a hallway or dressing room.
