Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of a small sliding wardrobe are more than the disadvantages that still need to be considered.

• Price. A small cabinet requires a small amount of materials to make, easy to install and assemble. This will save the budget.
• Ease of transportation. A small number of parts simplifies delivery, installation, relocation.
• Ease of placement. The compact model can be placed anywhere in the room, under it you do not need to free the wall, corner, niche.
• Sliding doors. To open them, no free space is required in front.
• Roominess. The variety and reasonableness of the filling elements allow you to place many things, despite the small size. Retractable booms, drawers, integrated compartments save space.
• Optimal space consumption. The design of the small compartment allows you to use non-functional areas under the ceiling, in corners, close to the walls for storing things.
• The ability to complement the doors with decor - mirrors, lights, stickers. The cabinet performs several functions at once, additionally freeing up space.

There are also disadvantages:

• Short service life of the bearing parts. Narrow doors are prone to falling out and breaking. To solve the problem, you can buy a single-door model with an open section.
• Doors take up extra space. Their installation takes 10 cm from the depth of the cabinet, which is critical in small rooms.
• Massiveness - a small compartment without decor looks bulky and heavy.
• Suboptimal depth. 36-46 cm - this is not enough to store clothes on a regular bar, so manufacturers mount hangers perpendicular to the back wall.
• Inconvenient access to shelves. The capacity of compact models is increased due to the height, because it is difficult to get to the mezzanines, high bars, upper compartments. In this case, a pantograph will help.

If you follow the rules for caring for furniture, it will last a long time and will become a decoration at home.

Cabinets vary in material, shape and installation location. From a variety of options, you can choose the style and size of the room. Design is selected individually. It is possible to realize ideas not only in size and shape, but also with the help of decorative elements.

By material

Furniture should be not only useful, but also safe. Particleboard, fiberboard, chipboard and MDF contain a wood base glued with formaldehyde resin.

There are 3 main types of material:

• Chipboard is the easiest and cheapest option. It is impregnated with glue and then the wooden parts of the cabinet are formed. The service life of such a frame is shorter than that of furniture made of other materials.
• MDF. This is more expensive material. It is decorated with multilayer wood fiber, pressed under pressure. This view looks better. It is stronger, more reliable, has moisture resistance.
• Natural wood. It looks impressive and lasts longer than analogues. Soft wood like pine can easily be damaged, leaving dents and scratches.

A case made of chipboard is the most economical option, made of natural wood is the most expensive.

In shape

With the development of technology, it has become possible to produce surfaces with bends. In the 21st century, you will not surprise anyone with exquisite furniture. But the main forms are only 3:

• Classic rectangular. To make this sliding wardrobe fit into the interior and serve as a decoration of the bedroom, add decorative elements - a mirror, special stickers, sandblasting.
• Corner - better than others suitable for small apartments. To make the corner cabinet look finished, two additional modules are installed (drawers are placed inside the furniture).
• Radius. Guides and doors are made to order. The shape of the cabinet walls is round. There are concave, convex, oval and round doors. Furniture with a radius modification is more expensive than analogues, but there is more choice of finishing material.

Consumers prefer classic rectangular and corner cabinets. The radius option is rarely found in private homes because of the high price (an average of 50-70 thousand rubles).

By location

There are two installation methods. To save space, order recessed furniture.

• Arrange separately. This simple installation method does not require a wizard. If necessary, the cabinet can be moved at any time.
• Embed in a niche or corner. With this installation method in a small room will save more free space. But when repairing an apartment or moving to another housing, the closet cannot be quickly removed from the overall structure. Dismantling by special means is necessary.

For any furniture, when reassembling, the hardware is loosened. Both built-in and freestanding cabinets, do not disassemble unnecessarily.

Dimensions and filling

The standard cabinet set includes brackets for hanging clothes and horizontal drawers. Filling costs from 2 thousand rubles. and provides full functionality.

The usual modification includes a frame (an average of 180 cm long and 240 cm high), drawers, shelves and a lower section for shoes.

Small-sized cabinets have dimensions 120x200x40. Drawers and brackets are very close together. This allows you to fill the free space with large things (bicycle, artificial Christmas tree) if there is already not enough space in the hallway or closet. Choose the filling based on the needs of the family, the size of the cabinet.

Selection rules

Form, filling, materials, safety, the presence of decorative elements - this is an incomplete list of factors that need to be considered. Do not be afraid to add your points. For example, there is such a convenient thing - a drawer. Typically, manufacturers save and do not put this useful module as standard up to 2 meters wide. But by paying 1500-4000 rubles, you can purchase it as an additional option.

Do not forget this memo when visiting the furniture salon:

• Size, shape - for small spaces you need a tall narrow cabinet with a shallow depth. When measuring dimensions, add 3-5 cm to the results so that during installation work not to scratch the walls and ceiling
• The method of organizing the internal space (modular system with a dense arrangement of elements - boxes, brackets and baskets). It fits perfectly into small furniture.
• Exterior finish must satisfy its technical characteristics (material strength, the ability to install decorative elements) and fit into the interior of the apartment.
• If you want to visually increase the space, choose mirrored doors.

In order not to make a mistake when buying, in advance, draw your ideal closet in the graphics editor or scheduler, and then go to the store.

For bathroom

When installing furniture in the bathroom, you need to consider that the material must be moisture resistant - plastic is best suited. On the shelves place soap, shampoos, cosmetics, powder, linen. You can hide poisonous household chemicals in the upper section, making the house safe for children.

A sliding wardrobe with a built-in large mirror is convenient in that you can see yourself to your full height, but keep in mind that the glasses fog up with high humidity.

Due to the small area of ​​the bathroom, it is quite difficult to place a full-fledged closet in it.

For the living room

The furniture in this room is suitable for storing things that need to be hidden from prying eyes. But usually a closet for a small living room stores bedclothes and other items that are suddenly useful for relatives suddenly rushing up:

• TV shelf
• a small set of clothes in case guests are wet in the rain,
• photos, souvenirs on open corner shelves,
• built-in ironing board, scrubs, ties.

Advantages and disadvantages

Small-sized sliding wardrobes have a lot of advantages, the main ones of which are:

• Affordable - most modern cabinet furniture is made from chipboards that are durable and yet inexpensive. Depending on the wishes of the homeowners, various methods of decorating cabinet furniture are chosen,
• structural stability - as a rule, sliding wardrobes do not have legs and rest on a long base made of chipboard. Therefore, there is no need to carefully level the floors of the room so that the piece of furniture is level,
• at the request of customers, the integration of side elements into the walls of the living room is carried out. This modification is used for corner sliding wardrobes, often enclosing the storage area from floor to ceiling with two wide doors,
• compact storage system - when there is not enough space, multi-level storage systems decorated with a glass door are installed in the living room. In order to make the best use of the free space, the entire interior is filled with baskets, hangers, brackets and supports for things,
• the appearance of such sliding wardrobes is limited only by the imagination of the owners, and their functionality is many times superior to conventional modifications,
• Sliding doors - the main difference between the furniture that gave it its name - high doors made of solid fabric (particleboard, glass or mirror), conveniently opening and closing using guides installed on the upper and lower edges. Opening and closing the cabinet does not create a “blind zone” necessary for access to things stored there. Therefore, such interior solutions are often installed in the corners of rooms near interior doors and windows with doors opening inwards.

Often, a small sliding wardrobe is supplemented by a mirror, rounded side sections with shelves, lights and decorative stickers. Decor elements are also inexpensive and easy to install, so the original design of the project does not increase the price of furniture many times.

The built-in modification involves fixing the guides on the wall and ceiling of the living room and installing the door in the height of the room. Thus, there is a significant saving on cabinet materials. This allows you not to save on internal content, decorative elements, which give the room style. Expensive interior solutions made from natural materials, requiring special care and serious financial investments, are also presented on the market.

Similar designs have disadvantages, among which are:

• massiveness - high requirements for the stability of furniture for storage of things make manufacturers neglect decorative elements and elegance of forms in favor of practicality and reliability. For example, the robust design of a sliding wardrobe is simple, if not boring. Parallel boards adjacent to the floor and walls look rather heavy. A compact modular system with sliding doors will hold all the necessary things and save space, but visually it will look pretty impressive,
• quick wear of load-bearing structures - as a rule, the doors of such a cabinet are formed by an aluminum profile. This material is quite soft, so it can become deformed over time, injuring other elements of the supporting structure. The installation of more wear-resistant profiles will require serious financial investments for the installation of additional fasteners,
• access to different parts of the cabinet in turn - unlike standard storage furniture with hinged doors, sliding wardrobes open one at a time, so part of the space is always closed for viewing. The solution is to install an internal lighting system or narrower glass doors that do not block a large area of ​​the cabinet,
• regular maintenance of load-bearing structures - the guiding structures provide the operability of the moving parts of this type of furniture, therefore it is necessary to regularly monitor their serviceability and cleanliness. A large area of ​​aluminum profiles is quickly clogged with dirt, so the hostess receives an additional amount of homework.

Despite these drawbacks, with regular maintenance, a small closet will become an interior decoration, and will also save a lot of living space by organizing a compact and affordable place to store the right things.

A consistent approach to the purchase of furniture guarantees a practical, useful purchase at home. In accordance with the needs of the family, the desired materials, as well as the affordable budget, there are several types of cabinets with sliding doors.

By location

Depending on the location of the structure, there are:

• detached structures of small size - this option can be easily installed anywhere in the living room, it does not need to be dismantled during repair work in the room. In fact, freestanding models are similar in their properties to freestanding furniture, the only difference is in door modifications,
• recessed structures - this view requires minimal space consumption of living space. In fact, it occupies only the space needed for the flat sliding door mechanism. The only significant drawback of such a design for storage is the inability to move it during repairs or moving. On the other hand, the reassembly of finished furniture in any case weakens the fastening mechanisms, so the furniture may lose its operational properties after moving.

Varieties of meager constructions for the rest room

For small rest rooms, when choosing the right closet, it is important to determine its dimensions.If it is impossible to equip a roomy enough structure in the room, then you can pay maximum attention to the small size, but no less convenient model, which will occupy a minimum of free space.

Classic

Often, cabinets of the smallest sizes are used in spaces of a sufficiently large area. In such designs, compartments for clothes are provided. In a small space, you can equip this type of furniture, but subject to the maximum release of free space.

Wardrobes

This option is considered one of the most common. There are sliding door panels that are comfortable in operation, and due to the creation of a design of different dimensions, it is often used to design small bedrooms. There are many compartments, shelves in the closet type cabinet.

Embedded. This option is great for small spaces. But it is important for the owners to understand that it cannot be moved.

Corner Such structures are equipped in the corner, which makes it possible to save space. In a small room, they become an excellent interior element, originally transforming the space.

How to choose a small wardrobe for the bedroom

If necessary, purchase a small but roomy version of the cabinet, it is important to consider some of the advice of professional designers. Thus, when determining the material, it is advisable to pay attention to natural wood, as it is practical and reliable in operation. But if it is not possible to buy such a design, then you can stop the choice of products from particleboard.

When choosing a compact design in a small space, it is worth considering some points:

Height. Before creating the desired design, it is important to focus on the possibility of using the upper shelves. To fully provide convenient access for the use of drawers.

Hue. A small cabinet should fit in the shade into the overall interior of the room. That is why you need to take care of the harmonious combination of furnishings in advance.

The form. It is chosen exclusively from the style of the room. For this reason, it is necessary to exclude the use of different styles in the same space.

In addition to the above, it is worth paying special attention to the depth of the cabinet, because the capacity of the structure depends on this indicator.

Choosing a wardrobe

Before purchasing a small wall or floor cabinet in the lounge, it is important to determine the shape of such a design. You can choose a cabinet or built-in model.

So, the case version is aesthetic and, if necessary, easily rearranged. But the disadvantage of this product is the high cost and the need for a certain indentation from the wall surface.

If you want to buy a compartment model, then you will need to choose a mechanism for door leafs:

• Roller. In this case, the door leaf is built into the frame of steel, due to this movement occurs by means of rollers along the groove. But the mechanism is not too reliable.
• Monorail. The mechanism is practical in application, but has a fairly high cost. There is a monorail for the smooth movement of rollers. Owners can not worry about getting into the grooves of unnecessary items.
• Corner design for a small bedroom

For minimal living space it is good to use the corner option, as in the photo of small cabinets in the catalog.

This type of design makes it possible to save space, and also has certain advantages:

• In addition to compactness, roomy cabinets.
• If you equip the product in the corner, you can hide the defects of the wall surface.
• Corner options are the best choice for minimal floor space. Through this design, you can enlarge the room, free up space.
• The angular option perfectly complements any style of the lounge.

These designs are perfect for small spaces with niches. Indeed, this type of situation will help to usefully distribute the available space.

For those who want to assemble a small cabinet with their own hands, it will be interesting to know that you can set the backlight in it. In addition, you should avoid acquiring furniture in a dark tone, since this palette visually conceals the space.
