Appointment

Modern furniture for residential premises is very diverse in its purpose, design, size, shape and interior design. And each family selects its own set of furniture based on their own preferences. But in almost every apartment there is a small or large wardrobe. It is also called clothes or dress. Such furniture replaced bulky chests, which were not very functional, and are used to organize the storage of a person’s personal wardrobe.

The original design wall with a wardrobe in the Provence style looks very attractive, allows you to place things, bring an atmosphere of comfort to the house. If you think carefully about the "stuffing" of a wardrobe, it will fit clothes, shoes, bags, belts, jewelry. Many people even store sports equipment, ironing boards or bedding inside such structures.

Kinds

Let's look at the most popular types of wardrobes today to understand which model is relevant for a particular occasion.

According to the opening system

If you carefully study the door opening system, which can be equipped with a wardrobe, then they are all divided into several types:

• wardrobe with mezzanine, hinged doors. Roomy models, the height of which can reach a level of 2.4 m, width - 1, -2 m, and depth - 0.4-0.6 m;
• compartment - even a small living room in the Provence style or a bedroom with a compartment cabinet will be very functional, since such furniture is very compact and fits even in narrow spaces. The doors of such a cabinet move sideways along the rails, since there are special rollers in the design, and its depth can be varied.

By the number of wings

If we consider the structure of such furniture, then single-wing or double-wing variants are distinguished. In a single-door wardrobe, many things are placed, the design has only one door, which swings out. In the second version, the cabinet has two doors, but they can be not only oar, but also a compartment.

You can also pick up a model with three wings, where two of them are coupes and the third is swing. Often in these models, the hinged door hides drawers and shelves, and behind the compartment doors there is a large space with a crossbar and hangers on it.

According to the material of manufacture

Nowadays, furniture is made from a variety of different materials, but buyers increasingly prefer these types:

• from solid wood (pine, alder, oak, and so on). As the practice of many years shows, a wardrobe made of solid wood is the most durable, practical and respectable option. It has a maximum level of naturalness, resistance to wear, looks expensive, has a natural smell of wood (pine gives an especially pleasant smell). The only thing that can scare away buyers is the high cost of a wardrobe from an array in the Provence style, because it does not belong to the "standard" class, but to the "elite" class;
• MDF - a wardrobe made of MDF has a diverse design, as the material is made in a wide range of colors, patterns, textures. MDF goes well with glass, chrome elements, so furniture made of this material often has an original decor. The operational parameters of such structures are above average, and the service life is quite high;
• Particleboard - this material is notable for its affordable cost and average indicators of resistance to negative environmental factors. Particleboard swells with prolonged exposure to water, may fade with prolonged contact with direct sunlight, it is difficult to remove children's markers from its surface, and does not absorb the smell of food. However, a children's wardrobe is the most profitable purchase for a baby. They make a standard model out of it, characterized by high efficiency. With the growth of the child, his needs and wardrobe change, so within two or three years after acquiring the wardrobe, he may not be needed. Due to the low cost of models made of chipboard, it is precisely their parents who prefer it most often.

According to the placement option

The place of installation of the wardrobe will determine the features of its filling, the main parameters, external aesthetics:

• corridor - for a narrow space, a cabinet needs a compact one, with compartment doors, it is better in light color, but not black at all. Optimal models, the depth of which is 40-60 cm of light tone. The product can be installed opposite the entrance door if the corridor is square in shape, or near it if the entrance group has an elongated shape;
• the bedroom is the optimal space for installing a wardrobe, because it is here that a person selects an outfit for leaving the house;
• living room - if there is no place in the bedroom, you can install a cabinet with clothes in the living room. It is good if it is part of the wall or supplemented with shelves, shelves, TV stand. Such a furniture composition will look very holistic, harmonious;
• children's room - lockers for clothes for babies can be compact, bright in design. The optimal type of wood from which such furniture is made is pine. It is better to install them on a free wall and additionally fix them with fasteners, which will avoid the risk of injury to the child. Drawers are also worth picking up with a fall protection system.

Expensive models may have specific storage systems for a certain type of clothing: sportswear, shirts, trousers, jackets, and so on.

• classic style - for such a direction of decor of living quarters, it is worthwhile to choose huge, massive and solid cabinets in a classic style with an unusual finish, made of solid wood. Models should be decorated with large inlays, stained glass inserts, paintings, textured patterns on the front doors. Such a decor allows you to make a wardrobe chic, representative, stylish.

Selection rules

If the layout of the room provides for a niche, an excellent solution would be to organize a wardrobe with compartment doors inside it. The dimensions of the compartment can be very diverse: height is 1.5-2.4 m, depth 0.4-0.6 m, width 1-2 m. Models of swing wardrobes are relevant for spacious rooms, because when opening the door requires enough space. You can’t put such a closet in a narrow corridor or a tiny bedroom
