Internal filling
An important point is the choice of internal filling. Depending on the purpose of the cabinet, as well as personal preferences, the following options can be used.
- Shelves. They can be regular or stationary.
- Pull-out drawers and baskets. They are made in different depths. Often equipped with roller guides.
- Separators.
- Holders and rods.
- Trousers.
- Mesh or inclined shoe shelves.
- Hooks.
Typically, the largest compartments and drawers are located at the bottom. At the same time, the upper part is usually given over to mezzanines or shelves for things that are not used often. Below you can find compartments for travel bags, suitcases, and shoe racks are often made here.
If there are several rods, I install a pantograph, which allows you to place elements at different levels.
A swing closet is a standard storage system for many. When choosing such furniture, you should take into account the possibility of its installation and optimal operation. Also be sure to pay attention to the material of manufacture, façade finishing and internal filling.
Materials and Finishes
The traditional material for making cabinets is wood and its derivatives: chipboard, MDF. The facades of modern cabinets can be made from various decorative materials: art glass, frescoes, leather and acrylic decoration, and much more.
In particular, in the manufacture of bathroom cabinets and generally rooms with high humidity, moisture-resistant chipboard is used.
Depending on the quality and cost of the cabinet, its front side may contain various types of glass (frosted, stained glass, mirrors) depending on the purpose of the cabinet. All surfaces can be varnished or polished.
How to choose a color
To ensure that the shelf does not clash with the rest of the interior elements, it is important to choose the right color. Depending on the color scheme, the shelf will either become a spectacular decorative accent or elegantly complement the overall design concept.
Original shelves will become the highlight of the interior.
If you give preference to a contrasting model, it will stand out against the background of the wall. To make it look appropriate and not intrusive, give preference to light shelves of an unusual shape. A model made from several shelves of different shades looks very interesting. In this case, a palette is selected that is close in color to the wall decoration.
You can arrange shelves in the interior in different ways.
Shelves above the bed, decorated in the same color as the walls, can have a simple geometric shape. On such neutral surfaces, figurines, small vases and other beautiful elements look very beautiful.
White shelves are a classic.
White shelves will complement walls in any palette. It is worth noting that such shelves always look stylish and elegant. Designs that combine different materials (for example, wooden planes on forged brackets) look very elegant.
The possibility of using shelves is limited only by the owner's imagination.
Also, lovers of unusual interior items should take a closer look at the shelves decorated with carved elements.
Office Cabinets
Over the last century, under the influence of progress, the wardrobe as an object and as a concept began to be used in new areas of human activity, partially losing or changing its furniture function. Where wood is not suitable for operating conditions, other materials began to be used, in particular metal, glass (plexiglass).
A further development of the display cabinet is an all-glass cabinet, possibly on a light metal frame. It is used as a showcase in shops, museums, and exhibitions.
Metal cabinets have a number of remarkable properties, such as fire safety, resistance to the absorption of odors, small wall thickness compared to wood, significant strength and resistance to mechanical damage. This allows metal cabinets to be used in a variety of areas:
- laboratory cabinets for storing various aggressive liquids, chemicals, gas cylinders
- cabinets for workwear
- gun cabinets (including safe)
- tool cabinets and cabinets (cabinets for storing tools and accessories in factories, repair areas, etc.)
- electrical cabinets for housing power electrical equipment and automation (for example, transformer cabinet)
- mounting cabinets for housing communication equipment and servers
A cabinet is also a recess or niche in the wall of a building, closed by a door. In this case, the wall of the cabinet is a brick or concrete wall of the building. This is how fireproof cabinets (with hydrants), plumbing cabinets, and distribution cabinets for telephony wiring are designed.
Cabinets in art
The most famous is Gaev’s monologue from A. P. Chekhov’s play “The Cherry Orchard”:
Dear, dear closet! I greet your existence, which for more than a hundred years has been directed towards the bright ideals of goodness and justice; your silent call to fruitful work has not weakened for a hundred years, maintaining (through tears) in generations of our family vigor, faith in a better future and nurturing in us the ideals of goodness and social self-awareness
Fantasy wardrobes
In fantasy, magical wardrobes are properly used as a means of transport from one place to another.
- In The Chronicles of Narnia, it was possible to get from our world to Narnia through the wardrobe.
- In Harry Potter, two closets formed something like a magical corridor. This device is called a disappearing cabinet.
- In John Crowley's novel Little, Big, Smokey, like the characters in The Chronicles of Narnia, ends up from the closet into the forest.

Wardrobe location in the bedroom
The most common location for corner cabinets is along the walls. Currently, interior design options allow you to place it in the center of the room, but most people like it along the walls - there is more free space. If the apartment is one-room, in a large room you can use a closet to separate several parts. In each individual case, the arrangement of interior items should be rational.
Buying a wardrobe is a very challenging and sometimes creative task. The choice should be made taking into account the design of the apartment and the taste of the person. Modern stores present a wide variety of products. Often fashionable wardrobes cannot satisfy all the requirements and wishes, and the budget is also small, then the best option would be to buy a large hinged corner wardrobe for the bedroom with a classic configuration. Everyone knows that classics will always be fashionable.

Sliding wardrobes are the result of the evolution of numerous types of furniture production and in a modern interior they have become an almost integral part of it due to their ergonomics and variety of design.
Sliding wardrobes have a design that allows you to free up living space due to sliding doors. The cabinet doors move on specialized rollers, that is, they are not hinged, but retractable. The main difference between a sliding wardrobe and a conventional wardrobe is the sliding
doors.
A sliding door system may include a door profile (a steel or aluminum frame that frames the door leaf around the perimeter and gives it rigidity), a track (rails) and rollers. Together, these elements form the sliding wardrobe mechanism, the quality of which determines the smooth movement of the doors and the service life of the final product.
In addition, all the rollers or stops necessary for the movement of the door can be attached to the door leaf made of natural wood or other materials without a metal frame of the leaf.
One of the main materials for the manufacture of sliding wardrobes is laminated chipboard, which has a wide variety of colors: from simple solid colors to chic glossy ones. When making a custom-made wardrobe, the buyer himself sets the necessary parameters. Accordingly, the size and shape of the product corresponds as much as possible to its location. The variety of profile options, the possibility of manufacturing combined and radius doors allow us to create furniture that meets the requirements of the most demanding customers.
Zone allocation
A wardrobe can be divided into several parts.
— Lower zone (height up to 80 cm). Designed for things that are rarely used, or when there is a closet in the bedroom - for storing bed linen. A shoe tray can also be located here, designed to store boxes of seasonal shoes.
- Middle zone (height 0.6 - 1.9 m). Designed for items that are frequently used. It may contain:
- shelves - should be installed at a convenient level. You can put different things on them.
Important! There are a lot of things to consider and the material from which the shelf is made. For the lightest items, you can choose any shelves made of chipboard, MDF or glass; for heavy items, you need to use shelves made of wood or metal. Shelves can also be stationary - they form the basis of the cabinet, adding strength to it, or removable - attached with corners made of wood or plastic. Shelves must be installed at a distance of 30-40 cm.
- drawers - it is recommended to use transparent or metal baskets because they provide a fairly good overview of the contents. For large clothes you need to use a deep drawer, for small items - a small one. Drawers using partitions are also often used - ties or various jewelry are stored in the resulting containers. A premium wardrobe may contain special boxes designed to store only one type of item;
- rods - must be placed at a height of at least 1.4 m. Expensive options for clothing have “lifts”, due to which items with hangers can be placed at a sufficient height. In addition to the fact that this design is quite expensive, it can withstand much less weight than any barbell. The composition may also include rod holders for skirts and trousers.
Important! Storing things on hooks can only be done for a short time; longer storage can lead to deformation and loss of the original shape of the thing.
— Upper zone (height more than 1.9 m) – used for storing rarely used items, such as seasonal hats.
There are a large number of styles for which a wardrobe is indispensable:
- classic style - a large wardrobe with an original finish, often made of expensive types of wood. If the wardrobe is decorated with paintings or inserts, textured images, it will look elegant, representative, and at the same time quite stylish;
- English style - a large cabinet made of valuable wood, decorated with curly handles and small neat carved details. It has hinged doors in natural shades. An English wardrobe is an indicator of consistency and thoroughness;
- modern style - with hidden fittings, in most cases - with smooth doors.
Purpose
The purpose of the wardrobe, in addition to the trivial placement of a large number of things, is to freely use the space in front
closet After all, now it is not needed to open doors.
The simplest wardrobe always consisted of two or three doors, a box, sometimes built into a wall niche, and a sliding mechanism. This design was brought to Russia in the early 90s and is revered for its ease of use and manufacture.
Today, a wardrobe can combine various design elements - open shelves, units with hinged cabinets and even built-in desks or beds. Furniture is designed based on the size of the room, its functional load and the general style of the interior. The last factor is inextricably linked with the choice of materials for exterior finishing. A variety of colors and textures allows you to select options that meet not only personal taste, but also the latest trends in furniture fashion.
Classification
Sliding wardrobes are a very broad concept, but more specifically, sliding wardrobes come in two types of design:
Direct
, or “ordinary”, with doors in one line. Two or more cabinets can be installed at an angle to each other or joined with a corner cabinet (a special type of cabinet designed to be installed in the corner of a room).
Radial
- this is a separate type of sliding wardrobes, which means that curved doors move, unlike straight ones, along radius guides. is divided into different types: combined, concave, curved, asymmetrical, round, oval. Sometimes classified as a separate line of sliding wardrobes.
Any of the above types can be built-in or enclosed.
Built-in
cabinets do not have a side or back wall, bottom, ceiling in any combination. Built-in wardrobes have a slightly larger useful volume due to the elimination of part of the structure. The visual absence of unnecessary body parts often contributes to interesting design solutions.
Hull
cabinets have a complete single or modular design, consisting of side and rear walls, ceiling, floor, partitions, drawers and sliding doors. Such a cabinet can be quickly moved to another place.
From a technical point of view, all sliding door systems can still be divided into two groups - doors supported on lower tracks and doors suspended on the upper track.
Advantages of a corner wardrobe
Corner wardrobe:
- It is small in size and has a fairly large capacity;
- perfectly covers defects obtained during construction, such as unwanted recesses, uneven corners;
- an excellent option when there is a lack of space, so it is often used in small rooms;
- it can be chosen for absolutely any interior.
Corner wardrobes for the bedroom come in triangular, trapezoidal, diagonal, and radius shapes.
Triangular - they are quite roomy and serve as a mini-wardrobe. Trapezoidal cabinets are represented by one middle and two side parts. A special feature is the absence of sharp corners. Diagonal options are the best option, given the dimensions of the bedroom. The most non-standard shape is radius. The doors of such furniture are hinged, wave-shaped, and can be concave or curved. For lovers of fashion and exclusivity, this is an excellent solution.
Additional Information
When planning a new closet, you shouldn't rush. It is necessary to understand for what purposes it is needed. Based on this, you can determine the type of internal filling of the cabinet. For example, if you need a bookcase in which a transparent door and several rows with horizontal shelves are desired, then it is unlikely that hangers and laundry baskets will look good in it. If the wardrobe is supposed to be installed in the nursery, then it would be useful to pay attention to the surface of the doors. By choosing an easy-to-clean, scratch-resistant finish, you will extend the life of your cabinet.
There are many types of furniture for storing things for various functional purposes. But many people get confused about the names of this furniture. For example, not everyone can say with confidence the difference between a wardrobe and a wardrobe. Let's try to clarify this subject of discussion.
Comparison
You can see the main difference between a wardrobe and a wardrobe. It consists in the fact that the name “cabinet” is a general term for pieces of furniture that contain things. However, not every piece of furniture that can hold something can be called a wardrobe.
For example, a cabinet is not a nightstand because it is too small for that. The bookcase does not fit this category either - it does not have doors. A closet is just large furniture, equipped with doors and divided inside into convenient sections. The closet, as a rule, has shelves and spacious drawers.
A cabinet often has a second name, by which one can judge what items it is intended to house. So, the dishes are placed in a special cabinet - a buffet. And furniture in which the dishes are located behind a glass display case is called a sideboard. A cabinet equipped with several drawers is designated “chest of drawers.” There are also kitchen, book and other cabinets.
What is the difference between a wardrobe and a wardrobe? The fact is that “dressing room” is a very narrow concept. In its design, it is also a closet, but only one in which clothes are stored. That is, it would be absolutely wrong to call furniture that contains, for example, household appliances or a collection of souvenirs, a wardrobe.
Traditionally, a wardrobe has compartments for storing compactly folded clothes, linen drawers and a hanging bar. The wardrobe can be additionally equipped with sections for ties and jewelry and removable baskets for scarves. Many models have a special place for shoes. An indispensable attribute of the wardrobe is a built-in mirror.
It should be noted that the word “chiffonier” is not as common these days as it used to be. Increasingly, a piece of furniture for storing dresses, T-shirts and T-shirts is simply called a wardrobe. And this option is also absolutely correct.
