Speaking about the advantages of this or that object, it is necessary to mention the disadvantages in order to make a decision on its purchase as carefully as possible.

The disadvantages of the compartment type include:

  • Danger of rapid failure of sliding modules. If the parts were poor quality or weak materials were used, there is a risk of frequent replacement of parts of the structure. When installing it is also important to follow the alignment of the surface and profiles, which also affects the durability of the furniture.
  • The need to clean the lower guide profiles.In order to maintain the ease of opening and closing the doors, it is necessary to regularly clean the lower ones coming from dust and mud particles.
  • The need for an additional lighting system. This nuance concerns mainly deep cabinets, which are almost an independent dressing room, since otherwise it will be very difficult to see what is in the depth of the shelves.

Still, there are more advantages to installing a wardrobe compartment than minuses, but it is recommended to approach attention to the few drawbacks.

Comparison with dressing room

You can store things in a simple closet or in a specially adapted room. When the question arises about the repair or cardinal change of furniture, many people ask themselves what to prefer: a wardrobe or a wardrobe. Each option has several advantages and features.

The main difficulty in arranging a dressing room is the need for a separate, even if small, space for these purposes. Just a large room will also fit, part of which can be separated under clothes racks and shelves.Such an opportunity is often only the owners of country houses. But in such a specially designated room you can put clothes for all seasons, ironing equipment and even household appliances.

The sliding wardrobe, in turn, can be located in any, even hard-to-reach places. It will look great even in narrow long corridors. Another advantageous difference of such a cabinet will be its relatively lower price than the cost of arranging a good dressing room.

Thus, if the financial situation and the area of ​​housing allows, the arrangement of the dressing room will be an excellent step to increase the comfort of living, but in a small apartment it is better to give preference to the closet.

Models

Rulers of similar wardrobes include a variety of models. So, if you do not want to install stationary furniture fixed relative to the walls and ceiling, you can purchase a cabinet type cabinet. It has not only sliding doors, but its own walls and top panel, due to which it can be placed even in the middle of the room, thus producing functional zoning of the space, or simply without problems moving to different parts of the room.

Sometimes this model can even be transported during repairs without disassembling. Also, such instances are modular, that is, consisting of several compartments that can be combined with each other and moved without much difficulty.

The built-in cabinet has more internal space due to the fact that its side, bottom and top panels are the floor, walls and ceiling of the room in which it is installed. Such a model fits harmoniously into almost any interior, besides, it has high strength and bearing capacity due to reliance on the walls of the house.

Forms

The huge variety of forms of this type of furniture allows you to choose the option that is ideal for the size and layout of each specific room. There are several basic types.

Straight lines

The plan is a rectangle. This option is best suited for rooms with a large area, as it takes a lot of space.

Corner

As the name implies, such cabinets are located in the corner of the room. The advantages of this option will be the ability to install in almost any room and high efficiency of use of the angular space,in which it is often difficult to find suitable furniture.

Corner cabinets are often presented in several different variations:

  1. L-shaped set consists of two almost separate shelves, connected by a common section in the corner;
  2. trapezoidal shape (side walls are made of different depths, which leads to a small asymmetry) looks great in long and narrow rooms, as it allows not only to save space, but also correctly correct the internal space of the room, slightly reducing it;
  3. diagonal are installed in the corner, and in the plan are triangular, where the sliding doors are located along the longest side, that is, moving from wall to wall. Furniture sets with a rounded inner corner look very elegant - such a construction at the expense of smooth lines complements the interior very favorably.

Radial

Relatively recent invention of furniture designers, but already had time to catch the fancy of buyers. Due to the unusual shape, a note of originality and novelty is made in the interior. In terms of functionality, they hardly differ from other types of such furniture,but have a higher price due to the complexity of manufacturing doors and body curved shape. Often they have to be made on the buyer's special order.

They are curved and concave, curved-concave (they look very impressive, but they will undoubtedly cost an impressive amount), combined and even round or oval. The latter, obviously, are placed in the center of the room, since their curved shape will not allow combining them with a straight wall.

Functional

The functional purpose of such wardrobe cases recently is constantly expanding and complemented. So, in addition to the traditional shelves for shoes and linen, many models have a built-in ironing board, which is very convenient, as it allows you to smooth things and put them in the closet ready to wear.

Many divert several sections of this piece of furniture under the bookshelves, so the wardrobe has the function of a home library. Separation of internal space by partitions allows you to combine several appointments in one object, for example, a chest of drawers with drawers can be adjacent to a small computer desk.Such a work zone does not take up much space, which would be an excellent solution for a small apartment.

The designers of some companies, who placed a special hinged system behind the sliding doors, to which even a double bed can be attached, were able to completely look at the wardrobe. This solution will undoubtedly appeal to everyone living in small rooms or simply lovers of minimalism, since during the day such a bed can be simply raised and hidden from prying eyes by sliding panels, freeing up the space of the room.

The original flight of imagination of furniture company engineers makes the wardrobe not only a convenient storage of clothes and shoes, but also allows you to place a full-fledged sleeping place or workplace in it, build in home appliances or lighting that will create soft, intimate room lighting in the evening.

Materials

In addition, this material has a huge number of different colors, you can choose any thickness and texture.

The back walls of the cabinet, the bottom of the boxes, various bent parts are often made from fiberboard, the raw materials for which are sawing waste associated with resins and paraffin.The main disadvantage of this material is its low moisture resistance - such plates absorb water very well.

MDF is a relatively young material, it appeared on the market in the 2000s. It is used mainly to create the facades of cabinets, due to its inherent high strength and ductility. It is considered the most environmentally friendly line of wood-fiber materials, due to which the most expensive. The big advantage is its high moisture resistance.

Often, manufacturers combine materials to create the best value for money, quality and durability. So, in good models natural wood on the facade can be combined, and shelves and drawers can consist of MDF and metal slats.

Color solutions

Which is better to choose?

Choosing a wardrobe should focus on a few important nuances so that later you don’t have to regret your choice.

  1. First you need to decide on his place in the apartment: it will be a bedroom, hallway, bathroom or balcony.It also matters whether it is a living space or, for example, an office.
  2. The next step will be to measure the dimensions of the space in which the cabinet should fit - it will be very annoying if you cannot install it due to a few extra centimeters.
  3. Then it is necessary to decide what materials the cabinet will be made of. Natural wood is expensive, but it will last longer. The option of pressed wood sawdust will be much cheaper, but less environmentally friendly.
  4. One of the most important moments when choosing a closet is the availability of high-quality fittings, since it is the one that fails the fastest. It is best to give preference to mechanisms made of aluminum, since they are capable of carrying a large load and are distinguished by a long service life.
  5. Next is to determine the design of the furniture set, so that it blends harmoniously into the interior and pleases the eye.
  6. And finally, for the functionality and usability is responsible for the internal content. So, for storage of large-sized items it is worthwhile to provide high mezzanine shelves, things that rarely get, for example, a New Year tree or ski boots, are placed there.For storing evening dresses or shirts it is recommended to install several bars at different heights, special hangers for small accessories such as ties and belts will also be useful.

Where to place?

A compartment type cabinet takes up less space than a conventional one due to the special design, which facilitates the process of choosing the optimal location for an apartment for it. This type of furniture is particularly well suited for installation in a one-room apartment or studio, where space saving issues are extremely acute. In addition to the occupied area, it is recommended to take into account the functional component.

So, if this piece of furniture is installed in the hallway, it is assumed that it will be stored outerwear and shoes. It is desirable that it had two compartments - for the wardrobe that is currently used and for seasonal items. There should also be one (and preferably several) shelf for shoes. A big advantage will be the presence of a mirrored door, which will not only control your appearance before leaving the house, but also visually expand the corridor space and make it much more spacious.

If the layout of the apartment includes a niche, then it is possible to place a closet in it, which will be almost a dressing room. It all depends on the size of the niche. Perhaps there will be able to arrange only a few shelves, and maybe - a few racks. In a small niche, a built-in or semi-built-in closet fits perfectly - this is a good option for a bedroom or study.

When such a headset is installed in the living room, it usually stores home clothes, bedding, small appliances, picture frames. In the open sections have a home cinema, music center, eye-catching interior items. The number of blind parts is made either equal to the number of mirror parts, or less.

Installing a wardrobe in the bedroom is made with similar goals and rules as the living room, but in this embodiment do not leave open areas and try to make the largest possible area of ​​mirrors. Embedding the built-in lighting with a dim light will allow you to create, if desired, a cozy, intimate atmosphere that promotes relaxation, which is necessary in the bedroom.

Placing the cabinet in the kitchen requires, first of all, a large area of ​​this room. But, if the dimensions allow, you can safely alternate the mirrored sections with the deaf ones, and also combine the sliding parts with open shelves, on which jars with spices or beautiful services will be placed beautifully.

If it was decided to install such furniture in the nursery, it is advisable to give preference to bright colors. On the open shelves you can place children's books and toys.

Deaf specialists recommend decorating with photo printing with the image of your favorite cartoon characters. In addition, there is a special film on which you can draw with colored chalks, it can be pasted on opaque door panels - this solution will help develop the creative potential of the child.

When placing a compartment cabinet in the nursery, it is necessary to think in advance how it will be possible to close the inner space of the headset from the baby for its safety and the safety of things.

How to close from the child?

As soon as a small child begins to move independently around the house, he grabs at all that he can reach.In addition, natural curiosity makes the baby try to open the doors of all rooms and cabinets, which he sees on his way. This may entail harming things that are stored inside, or the peanut can pinch the limb with a door that is often heavy.

Therefore, the issue of protection from children of various lockers and chest of drawers does not lose its relevance and inevitably confronts parents. This problem can be solved both with the help of available tools and by acquiring a ready-made fixture, which can be easily found thanks to the ever-expanding assortment of children's goods.

The easiest way to protect your belongings and your child is to purchase furniture with built-in locks, then one turn of the key will be enough to resolve this issue. Similar locks can be purchased in the store and inserted into the door yourself, having made a hole in it of the desired shape and size. This process is not complicated and the appearance of the cabinet does not spoil.

There are also special fixtures for fixing the doors, which are perfect for closing cabinets of the compartment type.They are plastic straps that are attached on the one hand to the furniture body, on the other - to the moving part due to self-adhesive parts. For such purposes, they often use ordinary adhesive tape, but it has to be changed often, and it doesn’t look too aesthetic. The disadvantage of this type of fixation is that the process of opening and closing the cabinet is complicated for adult family members.

Especially for wardrobes there is a latch of the original design, which must be embedded in the moving part. But its installation is quite laborious and requires certain skills, so it is better to seek help from professionals.
