Radius sliding wardrobes - the new geometry of the house (20 photos)

The value of a traditional sliding wardrobe in matters of furnishing a modern apartment is difficult to overestimate. However, new forms and lines appear in furniture; various surface treatment technologies are used. And familiar objects acquire an original look, change the geometry of the room. Radius sliding wardrobes and partitions have created a whole direction in interior design - radius-line.

Advantages of Radius Type Sliding Wardrobes

• Compactness - space is used rationally and space is saved - no space is required for opening doors. A different number of sliding structures (one-, two-, three-door) facilitates access to things lying on shelves.

• Aesthetics - furniture models non-standard beat the design of the room, create the mood of the room, combined with a different interior. By repeating the lines of a suspended ceiling or floor, models harmoniously fit into any environment.

• Versatility - you can choose furniture that matches children's rooms, classrooms, corridors, living rooms or bedrooms.

• Multifunctionality - designs can be used as a dressing room, library or bookcase or participate in zoning of space.

Filling Radius Sliding Wardrobes

Layouts of shelves and compartments are built according to the wishes and preferences of the owners. In separate sections inside the structure, you can put household appliances, place sports equipment or even equip a compact workplace. It is advisable to order drawers with a mesh structure - this will provide natural ventilation of things.

A visual change in the geometry of the room - a corner cabinet with sides of different lengths can visually make a square room rectangular.

Cabinet designs: types, advantages and disadvantages

In the furniture market, two types of cabinets are offered for installation.

• A cabinet product is a separate unit of furniture that has rear and side walls, a roof, a bottom, and facades. Pros: the structure can be moved around the room, installed in any part of the room, it is convenient to make a quality assembly of the structure and carefully adjust the doors. Cons: more materials are required for the manufacture, the internal volume of the product is eaten by the walls.
• Built-in option - installed in wall / drywall niches and fully occupies the allocated space. Pros: the lack of a roof / bottom, walls in the configuration reduces the cost of the structure, the ability to install in the opening of any size. The price of the product is significantly reduced by the installation of metal rods with baskets attached to them. Cons: the cabinet is made under the opening of certain sizes; it cannot be rearranged, but can only be dismantled.

Range of cabinets

The main feature of radial sliding wardrobes is the variety of shapes. If you use asymmetry when choosing a design, you can visually change the geometry of the room. Depending on the bending line of the door guide, the following types of products are distinguished:

• concave - the best choice for arranging space in the corners of the room. These models soften the geometry of the room and do not clutter up the area. The most suitable options are to install such a wardrobe in the bedroom or in the nursery. Such furniture gives the room coziness and roundness;
• a convex cabinet is more practical to install in a small room, since the design does not use a large width. A suitable option is to install a radius wardrobe in the hallway;
• curved (convex / concave types alternate). For these models, the most suitable place for installation is along the wall. It is optimal to put a combined radius wardrobe in the living room. This furniture perfectly complements the interior of rooms of medium / large areas.

Characteristics of cabinets: types of fastening doors and decoration options for facades

The door of the structure consists of a frame (aluminum / steel) into which the facade canvas is inserted. The lateral vertical side of the frame also acts as a handle for moving the door. The sections are moved by sliding the rollers along special guides along the structure opening. Door mechanisms are made to order, since the guides can have different radii.

Door installation methods

Two types of door fasteners are used.

Top hanging

The guide is fixed to the ceiling or attached to the wall. Advantages - radius cabinet is installed without thresholds. The disadvantage is that it cannot be mounted in rooms with suspended or plasterboard ceilings.

Lower supporting

The guide is fixed to the floor or to the specially prepared podium. Advantage - the ability to install in rooms with a false ceiling. The disadvantage is that dust can accumulate in the guides. The accumulation of small litter will further complicate the sliding of doors.

Cloths for facades: types and brief description

The main requirement for the facade material is the ability to maintain a given curved shape for the entire period of operation. The most common door leaf options are:

• acrylic glass with photo printing technology. Selected images are printed on a wide format printer and retain sharp lines. A special effect is obtained when using special inks that polymerize under the influence of ultraviolet radiation. As a result, the picture acquires a light visual volume. Radius sliding wardrobe with photo printing can set the room dynamic or give the room a romantic mood;
• bent panels from MDF (pressed wood sawdust impregnated with carbide resins). You can decorate plates by coloring, veneering, lamination. The surface of the paintings is glossy / smooth or imitates the texture of wood, stone, leather. Facades from MDF - the best option for cabinets in the children's room. Decorate the surface better with stickers that can be changed as the child grows older.
• rattan / bamboo fabric will be appreciated by lovers of natural, environmentally friendly materials;
• glass / mirrors tinted / sandblasted. The technology of the method is based on the impact of an air sand jet of high pressure on the surface of the canvas. Using artistic sandblasting, a pattern is applied. When using color / deep sandblasting, volumetric ornaments and realistic patterns are created. Facades with a mirror surface are preferably used for cabinets in the corridor / hallway.

The desire to create a cozy, comfortable space in the apartment is quite natural. When choosing a suitable environment, the interior style of the room, its purpose, are necessarily taken into account. For sliding wardrobes with radiused doors to perfectly complement the interior, it is better to use the services of a designer. Since such furniture models are made to order, it is recommended to contact professional manufacturers of furnishings.
