Types of sliding wardrobes
There are two main types of sliding wardrobes - built-in and cabinet. Recessed takes up space from wall to wall and floor to ceiling. In this option, you can not make the walls - neither the side nor the rear, you can do without the floor and ceiling. You just need install sliding doors for the wardrobe, and then collect the filling. True, this is possible only if you have a flat floor and ceiling, as well as side walls - all errors are strongly reflected in the appearance, and the unevenness of the floor and ceiling will interfere with the normal operation of the roller system.
A sliding wardrobe is a full-fledged cabinet furniture with walls, floor and ceiling. It can also be made from wall to wall, or as long as you need it. The disadvantage is the higher cost due to the high consumption of materials.
Corner wardrobe to the bedroom is one of the types of cabinet furniture. But it is distinguished as a separate form due to the design features and the selection of filling. They are advantageous in that they occupy an area that is very, very difficult to use in another way.
What materials are the body made of
The body, walls and partitions of the wardrobe compartment are made mainly of laminated fiberboard and MDF. This type of furniture is almost never made of wood, since it is too expensive and heavy.
In the production of cases, different laminating coatings are used, but the most common one is for different types of wood, but they can be covered with a colored film - with or without drawings.
Facades for the wardrobe in the bedroom
The facades of the sliding wardrobe are the part that remains in sight, therefore they attach the greatest importance to its design. For their manufacture, a special mirror and glass are used, as well as materials standard for the manufacture of furniture - MDF and Chipboard.
Mirrored
The sliding wardrobe in the bedroom is often made with a mirrored facade. In any case, at least one door is made of a mirror - it is easier to pick up clothes and put yourself in order. The mirror surface can be solid, framed in a frame made of a profile without division. This option is quite expensive, since a material of considerable thickness is used, and since thick glass weighs a lot, then the guides and roller systems must be of high quality.
Let's take this - large mirrors help to make the room brighter. In addition, due to reflection, the boundaries of the space are lost and even a small room seems more spacious. This design of the front of the wardrobe is ideal for strict modern styles - minimalism, high-tech, modern. But not everyone likes a smooth large mirror - it is too laconic and not suitable for all interiors. In this case, you can make inlaid mirrored facades. The pieces of the mirror are interspersed with a profile, resulting in squares or rectangles. Jumpers can be of different thickness and color. In general, options for the design of doors for a wardrobe can be quite interesting.
The mirror can be painted with a sandblast. Most firms that manufacture sliding wardrobes have the appropriate equipment and a set of drawings. Many can also transfer the author's image. These drawings define the style of the wardrobe. Everything can be seen in the photo.
As you can see, the style changes noticeably from the drawing. By the way, there is a technique that allows you to make a mirror colored - toning. It is not as widespread as sandblasting, but the results are interesting.
In the original version, such facades for sliding wardrobes were assembled from pieces of mirrors of different shades. But it is expensive and time consuming. More often they make it easier - they stick a translucent film. Fortunately, today there are many shades and you can achieve any effect.
Glass
No less popular is the idea of making a sliding wardrobe in a bedroom with a glass front. It is used hardened, unbreakable. Almost never transparent, almost always matte, maybe with a printed pattern.
The design uses all the same techniques: vertical or horizontal division, squares. The exception is sandblasting drawings. They are practically invisible on a matte surface, so they don't make sense.
Made of MDF and chipboard
To create a cozy, intimate atmosphere, the wardrobe in the bedroom is made with doors made of MDF or chipboard, laminated with a film imitating wood.
As you can see, here too, all the same facade design schemes - just solid canvases or broken into fragments by profiles.
A similar sliding wardrobe in the bedroom turns out to be massive and heavy, which in a small space can give a "crushing" effect. Doors made of chipboard covered with a glossy film are less heavy. It is of different types, it can be smooth matte or glossy.Gloss - with varying degrees of gloss. There are - with different types of drawings. In general, there are enough options. Some of them are in the photo below.
When choosing the color of the wardrobe, you need to focus on the color palette bedroom decoration and whether you want to attract attention to this type of furniture or not. In order not to overload the interior, you can choose a color to match the wall decoration. Then the emphasis will need to be shifted to some other subject. If the front of the wardrobe is bright, everything else should be in a calmer scale. For harmonization, you will need to add a few small details of the same color. It can be a strip on textiles, a tape that picks up curtains etc.
Photo printing
The development of printing technologies has made it possible to transfer any images to a special film. The image is very realistic, photographically accurate, and the technology itself is called photo printing. These images are pasted on facades and sliding wardrobes as well. The image can be any. At least print your photo. It is important that it is clear.
As you probably noticed in this case, the main emphasis in the room falls precisely on the wardrobe - photo printing attracts 100% attention. Therefore, the rest of the interior should be kept in neutral colors. A few small details of the predominant color in the drawing can be added. Such an interior will create an atmosphere of relaxation.
Combined
All fronts described above are made of the same type of material. But, most often, they are made combined - chipboard with glass or a mirror are the most common options. And they turn out to be moderately light, moderately cozy and certainly not boring and original.
In general, choosing a wardrobe for a bedroom is not easy. And we haven't talked about the internal stuffing yet. There are at least no less options.
Examples of the layout of the wardrobe in the bedroom
When planning a wardrobe in a bedroom, they usually proceed from the available space. The depth is usually 45 cm or 60 cm.If you want, you can make it deeper, but they do not make them less than 45 cm - standard filling for wardrobes there is no less than 45 cm depth. And even with this size, you will have to install special holders under the hangers that allow you to hang clothes parallel to the door.
You also have to ask yourself - how many sections to split the available length. The minimum section is made 60 cm wide. The maximum size depends on the type and thickness of the material: the shelves should not bend. For example, for laminated chipboard with a thickness of 14 mm, the maximum permissible length is 90 cm.
There is another important point: the width of the sections in which the drawers are installed should be less than the width of the doors. The fact is that the door has a frame made of profiles. And these profiles narrow the gap. That is, if you have a door width of, for example, 70 cm, in order for the drawers to open, they must be no wider than 63 cm.In general, you need to look exactly at the profile, since they are narrow and wide. In any case, it is necessary to take away its width and another 2-3 cm for freedom of opening.
Standard filling
In order to use furniture for storing things conveniently, you need to think over what type of things and how much you intend to store there, how they should be stored - folded in boxes and on shelves or on hangers. It is necessary to roughly determine the number of things of different types of storage. After that, the decision about what will be the filling of the wardrobe in the bedroom will be easier to make. Some rules that will help solve the problem with the internal layout:
- The easiest case is to make a number of shelves and compartments for clothes on hangers.
- It is more convenient to store small items in drawers or baskets. They can be replaced with baskets or plastic boxes installed on shelves.
- It is more convenient to store shoes at the bottom. It is better to make lattice shelves under it.
- In the lower part, suitcases, travel bags, and some types of large-sized equipment are usually stored.
- At the very top are large items. In the bedroom, these are usually not used pillows-blankets, there may be out-of-season clothes in trunks or shoes that are not used yet in boxes.
- The entire middle part is set aside for shelves and compartments for clothes on hangers. In order to be able to use the entire height, pantographs are used instead of the usual crossbars for tremple hangers. These are the same rungs, but with a mechanism that allows them to be raised and lowered.
Since the wardrobe for the bedroom can be of different sizes - from a miniature meter to more than spacious for four or more meters, the "filling" is developed individually each time. This is the attractiveness of such systems - the internal content is selected specifically for your needs and requests.
Sliding wardrobe in the bedroom with ironing board
Since it is not possible to allocate a special technical room in an ordinary apartment, it is necessary to organize workplaces in living rooms. This is how ironing usually takes place in the bedroom. Accordingly, it would be nice to place the ironing board discreetly. Space is usually allocated for it in the outer sections, although this is not a mandatory requirement.
There are ironing boards for wardrobes of several designs:
- built-in;
- lifting.
Built-in ones interfere least of all. When inoperative, they are located between two walls. The solution is excellent, except that the consumption of chipboard or MDF increases, and this leads to a rise in cost. Other designs have a swing frame that attaches to one of the side walls and foldable legs. The disadvantage of this design is that some of the shelves are covered by the lowered board. To get to their contents, you have to lift the board.
With built-in TV
Most of the bedrooms have a TV. In recent years, they have become completely flat, which allows mount the screen on the wall or install in a wardrobe. This is convenient if the furniture occupies the wall opposite the bed. In this case, a niche in size with a small gap is made under the TV in the wardrobe. The location of this niche should be such that the screen is opposite the bed. This section can be left without a door. Then the space under and above the screen is filled with boxes or open shelves. But on the shelves they often put decorative gizmos or books.
If the TV is completely flat, it can be built into the door leaf of the wardrobe. But it requires a super-strong roller system, as even the flattest screen weighs in at a hefty weight. In addition, it is still necessary to think over the wire fastening system, which is also quite expensive. In general, this method is expensive, although it must be admitted that it looks better.
Another option can be seen in the video. There, by the way, a variant of filling with a small number of shelves and boxes was demonstrated - this is what the customer wanted.
With a workplace
Another non-standard solution is to arrange a workplace in the wardrobe. Today, this is understood as a small table for placing a computer and a chair. It is not a problem to make a table, even a folding one, and to push a chair under it. The guides along which the doors move can interfere, but you can't get away from this.
In general, if you do not have a separate workplace and there is nowhere to put a computer desk, then a wardrobe in the bedroom is a good option.
