Sliding wardrobe: an opportunity to solve many problems
Legend has it that the prototype of a wardrobe can be considered a wardrobe, invented by Napoleon Bonaparte himself. Other sources claim that his prototype was invented by the Spaniards living in their cramped apartments. But one thing remains obvious: it was the Americans who created the door "on wheels" running along the guides to the side. The post-Soviet space was surprised by the innovative cabinet only in the early 1990s, but the cabinet was only recently considered a full-fledged part of the interior. Since its facade began to be decorated with mirrors, stained-glass windows, glass with artistic painting, rattan, liana and even decoupage elements.
However, about the decor - a little later. Now we’ll find out about the tasks that the sliding wardrobe handles “perfectly”. Now it’s very easy to choose one of the modern models for your home or workplace!
So, wardrobes in the interior help:
- organize the space of the room. A sliding wardrobe, precisely created for the size and shape of the room, standard or built-in - this is the use of every centimeter correctly and appropriate. Sliding doors allow you to choose any place for the closet, and you no longer need to purchase a set of cabinet furniture for your own bedroom and guess at its correct placement;
- store a maximum of things in one territory. Modern sliding wardrobes in the interior not only serve as a bright and stylish item, but also allow you to place accessories and shoes, outerwear and textiles, bedding and a ton of everything inside. The main thing here is competent filling;
- zoning territory. Such an element of separation will help not only to store things neatly, but also to separate the sleeping area from the working one, for example, in a studio apartment consisting of 20-25 square meters. At the same time, the facade of the cabinet can become one with the color content and design of the bedroom or work area;
- visually expand or "stretch" the room. It is enough to order a sliding wardrobe of a certain size and use the facade decoration method that will help in this;
- decorate the room. Regardless of which room the wardrobe is selected for, it should perfectly harmonize not only with the general color palette of the room, but also with other pieces of furniture, with the mood and imagination of the owners. Only in this way will he become completely “his” and will appeal to both a family member and guests!
Attention: Choosing a cabinet, be guided by its optimal dimensions. Practice shows that every year the number of things only increases, they all need a single storage space, practical and functional. Let it be as spacious as possible!
Practicality: materials and device
Only a reliable, serviceable and easy to “control” sliding wardrobe can occupy its proper position as a focal piece of the interior. Therefore, choosing models, considering options and comparing one design with another, pay attention to 2 important components.
It:
- The coupe system, which serves as a skeleton and consists of guides, rollers, door frames and other elements. If you want to choose a sliding wardrobe for years, give preference to either steel systems or aluminum. The former will provide absolute reliability, but require a small door leaf. Otherwise, the doors will “play” and “walk”, which is unsafe. The second option is optimal for a door leaf of various sizes and shapes, as aluminum is lightweight and easy to process. Classics or innovations - you decide;
- Filling the wardrobe. Manufacturers usually offer either a wardrobe or a linen option, but you can combine both if the cabinet occupies the entire space of one of the walls and it is sufficient. Choose bars for clothes of different lengths for your assistant, use a pantograph if the cabinet is quite high, combine drawers with shoe baskets, standard shelves with an umbrella, etc.
Attention: As a material for side panels, “backs” you can choose MDF, OSB, particleboard of domestic or foreign manufacturers.
Finishing the facade of the wardrobe
Using conventional lumber in monochrome will not draw attention to your wardrobe. It will seem bigger, duller, more monumental, and you need to make it weightless, energetic and driving. This type of decoration is an economical option for temporary housing or a conservative leading a Spartan lifestyle.
It’s easy to make the cabinet facade refined, perfect, fully meeting the interior of a room. And its direct forms (or radius version) is not a reason to refuse to use a convenient piece of furniture in a Provence style bedroom or a Baroque style living room. All that’s needed is to correctly select the shade of the color of the facade decoration material. And the closet will impress and charm you and your guests!
Materials
The cabinet, the facades of which will be made of wood, rattan or bamboo panels, will give the room a touch of naturalness, a touch of originality and a slight charm. Their warm shades and unique texture will create a play of light on the surface, bring a bit of exoticism and refresh the atmosphere. The contents of the cabinet behind such panels will be aired naturally, and environmental friendliness will leave no doubt!
Leather design is respectability, elegance and uniqueness. A leather cabinet with the same furniture against a light background will look stylish. In this case, the tandem of dark and light shades will look like a retro style (black with milky matte, chocolate with snow-white, red with beige), but the bright colors - burgundy, orange, blue and even green will be interesting against a background of pale pink, lilac and wenge. The ability to choose almost any color for the facade allows you to create a single space, make the cabinet barely noticeable, or highlight it with a contrasting shade. The choice is yours.
Attention: When choosing colored skin, remember to take more care of it than the unpainted option. Get everything you need to make your cabinet bewitching with beauty for a long time.
Magic, or infinity of beauty options
A mirror as a facade of a sliding wardrobe is already a nostalgia of the past. Today, for design and complete harmony, you can use mirrors with a pattern that will look sophisticated and elegant in modern interior styles. The use of frosted glass with a pattern is optimal for rooms with high light flux, for example.
Colored glass, hand-painted glass and artificial stained-glass windows - the dream come true for beauty! Double glass with plants is an organic addition to the tropical, Japanese and one of the natural styles of the interior. They will bring liveliness, naturalness into the room and make the most strict pragmatist smile. The choice of your ideal closet is yours.
