To do this, you will have to understand a little about the features of this design.
Varieties of wardrobe
There are several main types of wardrobes, each of which is good in its own way. The most popular options are:
- Built in. The design is stationary and uses all the space it takes to store things. Consists of shelves and storage compartments that are closed by doors. That is, such a cabinet does not have its own floor or back wall. All content is attached to the walls of the room. And very often the model is performed even without an upper base (roof).

A cabinet or prefabricated structure is a complete piece of furniture that can be moved.
What should be a sliding wardrobe
Any cabinet should have a number of positive characteristics that will provoke you to buy it. When choosing, it is important to pay attention to all the little things. After all, it is they who later disappoint and make you regret the purchase.
Cabinets are primarily designed for convenient storage of things, and only then an interesting addition to the interior. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to its spaciousness. Initially, you can write to yourself what things will be stored in a future purchase and how much space will be required for this. If doubts arise, then it is safer to take the structure a little more than required. Better to have free space than not enough.
The location of the shelves is also an important factor, especially if the model is case and cannot be dismantled. In addition to their placement, the quantity is also important. There should be enough storage space for all things.
Height of the beam for attaching the hanger. Often, some models do not imply a lowering of this structure. Therefore, a suitable distance is initially selected.
Note! If the wardrobe is purchased in a specialized store, then you can ask for a detailed list of all its characteristics to see if the option is suitable.
How to choose the right wardrobe
The sliding wardrobe is selected based on the room for which it will be purchased. Let's say that the standard model for the hallway is not suitable for the bedroom, since their characteristics will be completely different. So it is worth paying attention to the correspondence of the styles of the selected model and the interior of the room. Because the wardrobe is a large structure and in any case it will attract attention. What is the best profile to choose for a wardrobe? Both steel and aluminum are suitable for such a structure.
Additional Information! For each room, its own material is selected from which the cabinet is made. It is preferable to purchase wooden structures (from natural wood or chipboard), since they are much stronger.
For bedroom
The most common question: how to choose a wardrobe in the bedroom and is a compartment suitable? The answer is unequivocally positive. Such a design will look good in the bedroom. Variety of built-in wardrobes are most suitable. In this room, such a design responds to all requests and copes with all functions. Due to the absence of the frame frame, much more storage space is created in the cabinet. And, if necessary, the missing frame can be replaced with fake strips.
How to choose a wardrobe in the bedroom? For a bedroom, a wardrobe is selected according to several criteria. The first is noiselessness. Since the bedroom is a resting place, a squeaky or strong door slamming structure is not suitable for it.
The second is independent planning of the internal location. As you know, the wardrobe in the bedroom is intended not only for storing clothes, but also for sleeping attributes: pillows and bed linen. They take up much more space and therefore require a spacious design. In stores, suitable ones are rarely found, since most often they are made according to a standard. The built-in wardrobe initially assumes that the owners will install it on their own and arrange all the elements in their own way.
Hallway
If it is recommended to choose a built-in model for the bedroom, then any one is suitable for the hallway. In addition to the standard three presented, you can consider options such as a radius cabinet, corner, linear and fancy shape.
It is not for nothing that they say that a theater begins with a coat rack, and a house begins with a hallway. In this small room, the closet plays the most important role, since something additional is rarely installed besides it.This is exactly the case when, in addition to the characteristics of capacity and convenient location, you can pay attention to the design.
For the hallway, structures of various shapes are made. If the room is small, then it is better, of course, to give preference to the built-in or rectangular model. For hallways with large and medium dimensions, modular are chosen. In addition to storage space, they are equipped with open shelves and mirrors.
Living room
The living room is the place where all family members meet most often. It also hosts guests. Therefore, the room is rightfully considered the “face of the house”. The task of the wardrobe in the living room is a little, only two. The first is to hide any objects that should not see everything, and the second is to zone the space.
Semi-open cabinets are often installed in the hall. That is, with shelves and racks that everyone will see. They are decorated with various interior items or adapted for practical storage of necessary things. It turns out that there is a place where you can hide things from prying eyes and a space for additional decoration of the room.
Now is the age of computer technology, therefore, models of cabinets with built-in TV zones are often found. There is a TV or acoustic installation.
Children's room
Choosing a wardrobe in the children's room, you can attract your child so that he chooses the design himself. So the design will not only be comfortable for the parents, but also the baby will like it. If the design is made to order, then it is better to choose a modular look. Only instead of open shelves, install a wall bar or a work area. This saves a lot more space, but at the same time all needs are met. There will be storage space and an entertainment / work area.
The selection process will lure any child. Plus, it will be much easier for parents to decide on the model if they understand that they want to have a baby in their room. You can also choose the design of the cabinet yourself. Usually, bright and interesting models are preferred for children's rooms.
Features of the built-in wardrobe
Built-in wardrobes can be real works of art. Their main distinguishing features from other designs are:
- Large level of roominess. The built-in model is the most spacious, since it does not have its own body and is located from the ceiling to the floor. It provides owners with a large internal storage area. This is a great space saver. Especially if the room is not large.
- Versatility of appearance. Usually, such cabinets are executed in a minimalist style, but if you wish, you can arrange them in the style of your interior. The design looks very laconic due to the absence of unnecessary decor details.
How to avoid mistakes when choosing
Mistakes in the choice are made by almost every second buyer. Most often, the design of the model is chosen incorrectly and, ultimately, it does not fit in the allotted place. In order to avoid such a mistake, it is important to measure the space where the cabinet will be placed several times. It is better that the dimensions take into account the "allowances".
They also make mistakes with materials. Of course, solid wood is strength and reliability. But it is not always worth the money. It is important to carefully examine any model, since each model has defects, even the most expensive one. In this matter, it is necessary to remember that expensive does not mean good. Sometimes a chipboard model is much more durable than mahogany.
How to put a closet in a room correctly
The closet in the room is located only on the basis of its dimensions and capabilities. If the room is small, it is unlikely that it will be possible to install a radius model. It will take up half of the free space. The only thing that everyone needs to consider is that sliding wardrobes are designed to a greater extent for installation along walls.
The built-in wardrobe model was created with the aim of ensuring convenient operation, huge space savings and an interesting design. This type of furniture meets many customer requirements, as it is almost universal.
