Today, a wave of naturalness and the struggle for an environmentally friendly lifestyle has captured the world, which is completely justified, and this is reflected in the fashion for interior designs. For this reason, at the peak of fashion and popularity, facades with large wooden doors.
They can be made not only from veneer, but also from simple high-quality plywood or, if material capabilities allow, a natural solid wood.

- A large number of knots on the door of your closet - This is today the most “squeak” of fashion. Such a piece of furniture can be placed in any room, but if you can maintain the presence of the closet with a similar decor and other pieces of furniture, you can safely assume that you managed to keep up with the changing fashion in the field of interior design.

Designer Tips
- If you decide to order a closet in a small kitchen and “hide” all utensils from prying eyes, turning the room into a dining room, you can choose a shade of “cappuccino” with a slight shade of barely noticeable yellowness. For country and provence styles that continue to be popular, wooden facades can be artificially “aged”
- If you are installing a wardrobe in an apartment in the loft style, choose the cool shades of wooden facades. However, smooth veneered facades in sliding wardrobes are still installed in children's rooms, a large number of cheerful decor save the situation. Here they are usually guided not by fashion, but by the personal preferences of the baby and convenience.
Classic wardrobes
For a very long time there was a strong opinion among designers that modern wardrobes and classic style are practically incompatible. Indeed, our imagination does not accept a room with a fireplace, heavy curtains, massive furniture and a wardrobe.
However, modern designers offer a new solution: to order door facades for a living room in a classic style that resemble a screed on fabric, their appearance should be supported by the color of the curtains and upholstered furniture. This is a new solution, very non-standard and interesting.

A simple way out, which will also help to “fit” the cabinet facade into the classic style, is a careful selection of similar shades of the floor covering and facade. If the flooring in a small room of dark colors, then such a closet 2020 will look bad, it will visually narrow the space.
In this case, the designers strongly advise to make only one frame under the shade of the floor, while the facade itself may well be mirrored. The mirror almost always saves the situation, so we will talk about such facades especially.
It is the monophonic facades in the classic design that designers give their preference in 2020
Mirror facade in wardrobes
The main reason for the popularity of facades on sliding-door wardrobes with a mirror layer is not only their versatility, but also high aesthetics. For many years, such options do not go out of fashion.
A sliding wardrobe with mirrored doors not only visually enlarges the room, but also makes it much brighter. The surface of the mirror in this case will be the main decoration both in your bedroom and in the living room, because the facade will help to visually expand the space, and the presence of the closet itself will help to get rid of unnecessary things cluttering the house.

Separately, we should dwell on the role of mirror facades in the dim lighting of our rooms. Light, reflected in the mirrors, gently and comfortably spreads throughout the room, making it much brighter. But the most beneficial effect is obtained in rooms where the windows face the north or west side.
Pleasant shades of beige are relevant this year.
More recently, the mirrored doors of a sliding wardrobe were richly and brightly decorated with stained glass painting or fusing. Now that naturalness is in fashion, it is better to focus on sandblasting.
Mirror can soften the interior
Mirrors that are inserted into the facade of wood look very stylish. Initially, a visual impression is created that you see a mirror in a rich and wide baguette.
This option is suitable for the classic style in the living room. This technique is only becoming fashionable, it is not beaten and will become more and more popular every year.
Wide sliding cabinet doors are suitable for spacious rooms.

Advantages and disadvantages
Sliding wardrobes are a practical option both for the private house, and for the apartment. They can be created from different materials and this is one of the main parameters that affect the appearance of your furniture.
If you want the purchased cabinet to serve you as long as possible, then you should choose really high-quality materials, for example, natural wood or high-quality chipboard. Wood is a more expensive material, but if such furniture is invested in your budget, then it is better to choose it.
To date, there are a variety of options for wardrobes. For small apartments, closets are best suited. They are located in niches in the wall and save a lot of space. If you want to install such a cabinet in your room, then it is best to think over its installation when planning or remodeling your house or apartment. In this case, you do not have to change anything and tear down the walls. Most often, such cabinets are made to order so as to fully fit into the dimensions of this niche.
Usually, built-in wardrobes are not complemented by rear walls or floors - here the frame itself serves as the part of the house. Such furniture is complemented only by shelves, doors and simple partitions. Such cabinets are built into the interior, which really helps to save space.
Another functional option is a corner cabinet. They are most often placed in rooms where there is enough space. Well fit into any modern interior and sliding wardrobes with an unusual shape of the facade, for example, radius or arc. This option takes up less space.
Also practical and diagonal corner cabinets. They are installed in the corner of the room, but, due to the beveled walls, take up significantly less space.
And the last option is a classic wall mounted wardrobe. It looks good in the bedroom and in the hallway. The dimensions of this cabinet can be different, depending on how your room looks.
Internal organization
Having dealt with the type of wardrobe that you want to buy, you can proceed to the choice of its internal arrangement. The internal filling of the cabinet is very important, because it depends on it how comfortable it will be for you to store all your things.
There are a wide variety of combinations of shelves, hangers and drawers. There are both static options that cannot be redesigned, and those that can be changed if necessary. So, for example, the popular cabinets from Ikea can literally be assembled from scratch, as a designer, choosing exactly the details that you like and need.
Another important part of interior design is its lighting. Properly selected lighting will allow you to not only see yourself well in the mirror, but also create interesting visual effects.
For the decor of the interior of the cabinet, you can use classic bulbs or LED strips. When installing additional lighting inside your cabinet, be sure to think about how you will replace the bulbs or make any other repair work.
Roomy sliding wardrobes, which resemble compact wardrobes with their appearance, are popular today. Choosing such furniture, you will save a place and get the opportunity to fulfill the sword, having obtained an almost full-fledged dressing room.
There are deep wardrobes in which another can be hidden behind one row of clothes, which allows you to store all your property in one place. The most common option is rows of shelves or racks that are installed behind the bar for hangers. On such shelves it is convenient to fold what you do not wear or do not use at the moment.
Such deep wardrobes allow you to place a number of shelves behind the bar for hangers. Thus, behind, behind the main row of clothes, you can place things that you do not wear this season or bedding. There you can put baskets with accessories or boxes with bags and shoes, which are also not currently in use.
Also inside such a cabinet you can also place a built-in ironing board along with an iron. For this purpose, even many purchased sliding wardrobes already have an integrated compartment. This will save space and not spoil the appearance of the room with such household trifles.
Built-in wardrobes
These are models that do not have a back wall, top and floor. The structure includes only doors (facade). Internal filling - in the form of departments, shelves, drawers. The main plus of such products, usually made to order, is the complete filling of a certain part of the room.The built-in sliding wardrobe precisely adjusted to the sizes allows to save the area and to receive a piece of furniture which ideally fits into the interior in size. But there is also a minus: such a product cannot be moved anywhere.
Corner models
A very effective solution for a small room where there is an empty corner and a linear arrangement is unacceptable, because it will take a lot of space. Another corner wardrobe fits well in the square hallway. It is worth noting that the internal content of the product is not only quite voluminous, but also complex, which affects the cost of the piece of furniture. Photos of the design of wardrobes of this type can be seen on the site.
Radius (diagonal-angular)
These models are also designed to fill corners, but differ in a convex or concave facade. The first option is the most common, because such designs are very spacious. Concave models are usually used by designers to emphasize a particular stylistic direction of the room.
Slanted wardrobes
These are products resembling a corner version. The difference is that the sidewalls (or one of them) are decorated in the form of beveled facades. Such a constructive solution allows you to leave the passage more free, which is important in narrow rooms. Sometimes the beveled corner is supplemented with a bedside table or a mezzanine. If the closet is in the hallway, then next to the modified facade there may be a hanger.
Photos of the modern design of wardrobes in the interior of the apartments are presented below.
In the living room
- The choice of style wardrobe in the living room
If this is a classic, then it means more strict, traditional forms and the presence of dark metal elements in the decoration. Carved parts, glass inserts are used as decor. The material of manufacture is solid wood or its high-quality imitation. Shades are neutral, calm.
Modern styles mean more free forms and shades. There may be rounded sides, non-standard shapes. The design of cabinets of this type allows the use of various films with photo printing and the use of bright colors.
In the bedroom
- large capacity, which allows you to abandon the numerous chests of drawers and cabinets cluttering the room,
- the presence of multiple shelves and drawers in a sliding wardrobe can replace a wardrobe,
- front mirror eliminates the need for special acquisition of this item.
In the hall
If it is spacious enough, then it makes sense to buy a large linear closet in which you can store outer clothing (and not only) of all households. This eliminates the need to purchase separate storage systems located in different rooms. The wardrobe installed in the hallway must meet certain requirements - as a rule, the design provides:
- sections for outerwear: it is better if there are two departments - one for seasonal items, the second - for those that you are not currently using,
- shoe shelves,
- mezzanines in which it is convenient to store rarely used things,
- shelves for hats located at a convenient height,
- special drawers or shelves for accessories: shoe polish, brushes, etc.,
- hooks and hangers,
- a mirror to help evaluate the look.
In the nursery
First of all, pay attention to the design: it should not have sharp corners. The second point related to security is the lack of a mirror. But this does not mean that the facade should be empty and faceless. You can make it with a self-adhesive film, which depicts your favorite cartoon characters. Doors should open easily. General requirements for a wardrobe in the nursery:
- production material meets environmental requirements,
- hardware is securely fixed
- bright design
- comfortable handles on the wings
- the boxes should not be fully removed so as not to cause injury to the child,
- a large number of open shelves with rounded edges inside, securely attached to the cabinet.
Where to put a wardrobe in the nursery? This is also an important issue: improper placement will reduce the area for games and worsen the interior. If the room is small, then you should give preference to a corner product. It is recommended to put a cabinet between the working area (where the table is, if the child has already grown up) and the bed. In this case, the occupant of the room will be more convenient to take the necessary things.
Facade design
It is the appearance of the wardrobe that determines its harmony with the interior of the room. Today, there are many ways to finish facades, which differ in the complexity of manufacturing and, accordingly, in cost.
Glass. There are several options, one of which is lacomat. This is a thick (4 mm) frosted glass with a translucent effect. That is, on the one hand, the contents of the cabinet are almost invisible, but on the other, it allows the hostess to quickly determine what is where. Another option is lacobel. This is a glass treated with varnish, which can have a different shade.
Sandblasting drawing. Glass is also used here, but with the image applied to it. The drawing is obtained through the use of sandblasting equipment. The most popular are floral ornaments.
Mirror. Its reflective ability visually increases the amount of space, so cabinets with such facades are placed in the hallway or in rooms with a small area. Modern manufacturing companies cover the mirror facades with a special shockproof film, which prevents the expansion of fragments in the event of surface destruction. On sale there are cabinets with a mirror of emerald, bluish, bronze or silver hue. There is another option: an etched mirror (on the surface - small matte patterns).
Mosaic. Technologically, the most difficult way to design the facade and therefore rare.
Photo printing. This is a technology, the essence of which is to fix images on the surface of the facade with a special paint during subsequent polymerization with UV rays. The top is varnished.
Bamboo. It is cut into strips that stick to the surface. This material does not deteriorate when exposed to moisture or sunlight. Ideal for design in oriental style.
Imitation leather. It features a wide range of colors and textures. Gives a facade solidity.
Plastic (glossy or matte). Budget option for the design of the facade. A variety of color palettes allows you to choose a cabinet for almost any interior.
With milling. This refers to wooden facades without glasses and mirrors, but with an openwork contour pattern on the surface of the array.
Combined. Here is a combination of several design methods. This can be milling plus photo printing or sandblasting design, combined with artificial leather, as well as other options.
Unusual door design
But, if we talk about beauty, then more attention is paid to the exterior decoration of the sliding wardrobe door. Today, both monophonic cabinets and covered with a variety of patterns are popular.
In today's fashion, practical wardrobes with a mirrored surface of one of the doors are in fashion. This option is good in that such a mirror is not only part of the decor, but also the opportunity at any time to consider your outfit in mirror reflection. Thus, you do not have to install additional mirrors in your apartment. This is especially good for small rooms. After all, among other things, the mirror surface visually expands the space.
The only drawback of sliding wardrobes with mirrored doors is that they have to be cleaned very often, because on this surface any fingerprints and other small traces are immediately visible. Therefore, such a wardrobe is better suited for the home of a bachelor or a young couple than for an apartment in which children live. However, there are options with high-quality processed glass, which not only does not undergo mechanical shock, but also remains clean for a long time, since dust does not accumulate on it.
Another beautiful option that has recently gained popularity is a wardrobe with frosted glass doors. For the production of such material, either special chemical treatment or sandblasting is used. If you are looking for a more affordable wardrobe, it is better to stay on the second option. Although the low price has its drawbacks, fingerprints and all kinds of spots will remain on the matte surface of such a cabinet, as well as on a mirror.
Looks good and the combination in the design of one wardrobe with inserts of frosted and ordinary glass. It can be simple geometric combinations or original patterns decorating the cabinet surface and made of contrasting glass.
If we talk about ways to decorate glass, one cannot fail to note the stained glass technique. Original stained-glass windows today adorn not only the windows of churches and other significant buildings, but also the doors of simple closets that can be found in any apartment. Painting in stained glass technique is a rather complicated work. Such patterns are applied to the surface of the cabinet door using special paints. However, there is also a cheaper option - special color films that simply attach over the door. In the second case, you can create compositions yourself that you like. But the first design option looks much more expensive and luxurious.
Another elegant design option is the patterns of colored or transparent crystals. Usually simple and rather cheap crystals are used to design sliding wardrobes. Over time, they can disappear, which in the end will not look very aesthetically pleasing. Although in general, cabinets decorated with crystals look very attractive.
When choosing the design of your wardrobe, it is important not only what material the door is made of and how it is decorated. It is advisable that your chosen wardrobe fit seamlessly into the room in which it is installed.
So, if you have a small room, it is best to give preference to cabinets made in bright colors. This allows you to visually expand the space. And in general, in such a room there should not be a large number of dark spots - massive leather furniture or carpets, for example.
Depending on what material the closet is made of, its appearance can also change. And it depends on how organically the cabinet fits into one of the modern styles.
In a hi-tech or modern style interior, a new wardrobe made of solid wood or particleboard will look good. In the same style, cabinets made from a combination of wood with a mirror or glass look good. If you choose just such an option, both light colors and darker ones are acceptable. In a small and modern studio, such a closet looks very stylish and quite appropriate.
In an ecological style, rattan or bamboo cabinets with eco-leather that adorn the furniture surface will look good. In order for such furniture to serve as long as possible, it is treated with special solutions. Externally, such surfaces can remain unprocessed, or be coated with paint or mirror surfaces, like any other materials that are used to create sliding wardrobes.
Lovers of the classics will love luxurious novelties made in the style of art deco or art nouveau. In such wardrobes, the classic style is combined with something modern and unusual. Here it will be appropriate to paint a plain door with patterns made of silver or gold paint.
Under the style of country, you can choose a wardrobe made of dark wood or its imitation. Such a cabinet will look like furniture from old Westerns, but in fact it will delight you with its compactness and functionality.
For a large country house with a bulky wardrobe, you can choose such an interesting design option as photo printing. This is a fairly budget option that can be used to decorate large surfaces. In addition, in this way, you will add a touch of personality to your interior, choosing exactly those images for printing that fully correspond to your wishes.
Fashion Design Ideas
If you are looking for inspiration in order to equip your own room, then it is quite possible to consider all kinds of projects created by famous designers.

Such a cabinet goes well with the light interior of the room, complemented by curtains and pillows with geometric patterns.
Another variant of a stylish “wood-like” wardrobe is a classic sliding wardrobe, whose sliding doors are complemented by laconic patterns made on frosted glass. Such a painting looks interesting and fits perfectly into the two-tone interior of the bedroom in coffee and white colors.
Another example of furniture that will organically look in hi-tech or modern style. A simple white sliding wardrobe over the entire width of the wall almost merges with the tone of the walls and ceiling themselves. Practicality is added to it by the built-in TV in the central part of the cabinet. This can significantly save space.
For the interior in a classic style, an original closet, stylized as furniture from the Victorian era, is suitable. Original white columns decorated with gold patterns look spectacular. Its sliding doors complete in the form of full-length mirrors complement it. Such a corner cabinet from the side seems like a simple double mirror, and few people will guess that all your clothes and other household items are hiding behind it.
Modern designer wardrobes are a great opportunity to diversify the design of your bedroom or living room and add a piece of your personality to it. There are a huge number of stylistic directions that allow you to find an option just for your room. Choose a high-quality sliding wardrobe for the size and interior of your room, and all your things will be stored in a safe place, and the room will look not only neat, but also stylish.

The surface is covered with a layer of laminate, due to which the panels acquire any shade or imitate natural wood. The disadvantage of the coating is a limited selection of processing methods. Thin parts from chipboard will not work. The lineup is represented by simple designs in a restrained style. The best option with good quality at a price below average.

To simplify the process of selecting elements for the required sizes, special online designers have been created. These programs will quickly and without errors design a wardrobe model for an individual request.
Ideas for placement in the interior
Often, under wardrobes use unnecessary niches, pantries. They cover flaws in the form of pipes, wires, electrical panels. At low ceilings, things, equipment, and cleaning equipment are stored behind sliding sashes. In small apartments, built-in wardrobes are a must.
A compact storage system on the balcony is suitable for placing tools, work tools, pickles, rarely used items. It is necessary to choose durable materials that are resistant to temperature fluctuations, high humidity. Wooden frame is not recommended. Over time, the tree will begin to deform, swell, and delaminate. It is better to use metal elements or chipboard panels.
Under the stairs you can organize a dressing room. Some of the doors are equipped with a sliding mechanism, the rest of the space is filled with drawers, shelves, hidden behind ordinary doors or sliding panels. Individual pull-out sections hiding under the steps are gaining popularity.
Sliding storage systems allow you to create unique pieces of furniture in homes, offices, workrooms.
Materials for the manufacture
The vast majority of wardrobes are made of two types of material:
Laminated chipboard, which is a wood-particle board, covered with a decorative laminate, imitating, as a rule, valuable species of wood.
Particleboard - pressed at high temperatures wood particles bound by formaldehyde resin. The ends of the chipboard are necessarily pasted over with a tape-edge, since the material is afraid of moisture. The quality and strength of particleboard is noticeably inferior to MDF.
MDF (from the English Medium Density Fiberboard), or in Russian medium-density fiberboard, is made from small sawdust, to which paraffin or rosin is added as a water repellent.
Synthetic resins (4-8%) are also added for strength. MDF is an environmentally friendly and harmless material, has a high degree of mechanical strength and is not afraid of moisture. The cost of a wardrobe from MDF is an order of magnitude higher than that of a similar product from chipboard.
Dimensions and configuration
The height of the wardrobe is limited by the height of the ceilings. When assembling the wardrobe with your own hands, if the ceiling in the room is suspended, in order to avoid damage, it is recommended to leave a gap between the ceiling and the top of the wardrobe at least 5 centimeters.
The depth of the cabinet in the best case is 60 cm. With this configuration, clothes laid in the cabinet are not jammed, and the bar for hangers is located in the usual place.
If there is a niche in the wall, then it makes sense to opt for the built-in wardrobe. This approach will significantly save on material, since the cabinet will not have part of the walls. Elements will be fixed directly to the walls.
The downside is that you can’t move the structure - it is made specifically for the niche. The advantage will be a significant saving of space in the room, especially if it is small. In a small room, it also makes sense to install a corner wardrobe.
The choice of doors and mechanisms
A characteristic feature of the wardrobe is the use of sliding doors on roller blinds. The use of sliding doors can significantly save space compared to traditional swing doors. In addition to roller doors for floor rolling, practical hinged systems have also come into use, which also save space.
A variety of decorative overlays can be installed on door facades; there is a wide selection of colors and materials for the decoration of facades. It is recommended to make sure that the surfaces of the mirrors and glasses are covered with a high-quality protective film, which protects against flying apart fragments in the event of a strong impact.
Closers play a significant role, allowing you to smoothly close the doors without much effort. They also protect the door from abrupt opening and closing, and as a result, their rapid wear and damage.
Internal filling
Before deciding on the location of cabinets and mezzanines in a cabinet, it is necessary to decide what and how will be stored in it. For travel bags, sports equipment and dimensional boxes, high mezzanine shelves are suitable. And open, wide shelves will come in handy for storing blankets, bedding, pillows.
In narrow cells it is convenient to store piles of clothes. In the cabinet, it is desirable to have several drawers for ties, belts and other trifles. It is advisable to place drawers in the lower part of the wardrobe, not higher than 100-120 cm, the highest of them.
The location of the bar for hangers should not exceed a height of 210 cm from the floor, otherwise a person of average height will have to stretch to reach them. The stock for long clothes is 150 cm, and for short 110 cm.
Color scheme and appearance
The color of the wardrobe is selected depending on whether it should contrast with the interior, or smoothly blend into the overall background. It is recommended to choose:
For the hallway - a closet with a lot of mirrors. Firstly, mirrors will visually increase the area of the entrance hall, and secondly, before going out, it is always a good idea to look at yourself - have you forgotten anything? You should also include a shoe rack, shelves for shoe polish, an umbrella, and bags in such a wardrobe.
For the living room - glass translucent or transparent cabinet doors, behind which you can place the library, as well as open racks and shelves where there will be cups, figurines, certificates of honor and similar pleasant trifles. In closed cabinets will be lying unclaimed at the moment things.
In the bedroom, it is best to limit yourself to either a built-in or a small closet, so that there is as much living space as possible. It is recommended to use mirrors, light tones to obtain the effect of spaciousness.
When installing a wardrobe in a nursery, it is nice to involve the child in the design process, so that he feels that this is his wardrobe, and he carefully treats him. It is recommended to choose a wardrobe in the nursery with high-quality, simple and reliable fittings.
Thus, when choosing a wardrobe, the main thing is that it successfully and harmoniously fits into the interior design and performs its functions. It is recommended to purchase products from trusted and well-known manufacturers who have been engaged in cabinet furniture for several years and do not save on material.
