Sliding wardrobe in the living room: what are the advantages of such placement?

At first glance, it may seem that a large wardrobe in the living room is an absolute necessity, but in reality this is far from the case. After all, a properly placed wardrobe in the living room can save a lot of space in other rooms of the apartment, without prejudice to the main room.

Why is that? And it's all about internal filling, because everyone knows that such cabinets are quite large in size and can accommodate a bunch of all kinds of things. This is not only linen, pastels, but also outerwear, shoes, hats, umbrellas, bags, vacuum cleaner, skis, snowboards and much more. That is, this is a full-fledged pantry and a dressing room in one, which will fit everything that was previously stored in different places of the apartment. Such a solution will allow you to maintain order in the apartment and quickly find what you need. In addition, for greater convenience, today there are many mechanisms for storing things for filling wardrobes: trousers, pull-out bars, baskets, slots for storing accessories, etc. They, in turn, will help maintain order inside the cabinet itself.

But a large wardrobe in the living room on the entire wall is able to accommodate not only a bunch of things, but even entire functional areas, which will be very useful for modern style minimalism. After all, he does not like the abundance of interior accessories, as well as several separate functional areas within the same room.

So, for this reason, the designers came up with the idea of ​​hiding everything in such a wardrobe. For example, if you place it opposite the sofa in a spacious living room, then a TV and all other equipment can easily fit in one of its sections. Such a solution is also convenient in that it is possible to harmonize the space by hiding TV and other irradiators behind the sliding doors when they are not needed. In addition, such a technique can get rid of the habit of often watching TV, which today mainly shows one negative.

The same can be done with a home computer; a computer desk built into the closet will be a great alternative to a home office. Such a workplace in an apartment is relevant for the same reason as a TV. And this technique is also very suitable for "odnushki" and studio apartments, where everything is in one space, so a wardrobe in the living room on the whole wall will be a real salvation. It will save the apartment from clutter, the interior will be more harmonious, and the design will be more holistic.

Where to place a built-in wardrobe in the living room and how to make it invisible?

There are not so many accommodation options! Before deciding where to put it, you need to evaluate the available space and decide on its functionality. If the living room is not wide, it is more advisable to place the wardrobe in the end wall - in the opposite direction from the window. This option is ideal for rooms in which the doorways are located not near the wall, but further 70-80 cm. This will allow you to place a built-in wardrobe from wall to wall, which looks much more harmonious than a wardrobe with an open corner.

If the living room is spacious, then the option with the placement of a sliding wardrobe against a long wall is very fashionable today - from wall to wall. We have already discussed the advantages of this option with you above, so we will not repeat ourselves. Let's just say that in order to compensate for the lost space, the sliding doors for the wardrobe can be made mirrored. Thus, the room will visually double.

If the cabinet cannot be placed from wall to wall, in any of the cases, and you want to avoid protruding corners, you can order in a furniture workshop corner wardrobe into the living room, in the form of a triangle or radius. It will completely hide the space of one of the corners, but on the other hand, the harmonious atmosphere will not be disturbed. In addition, such a reception with a wardrobe will bring originality to the interior.

How to make the wardrobe in the living room invisible?

You can completely hide the cabinet, but only when overhaul apartments, this is done very simply. To begin with, its dimensions need to be designed in such a way that it is the entire width and height of the wall - that is, it will be a model built into a niche. As mentioned above, this will not affect the configuration of the room, therefore it will not stand out against the background of the wall.

The second point worth focusing on is the facades. They should be the same as the wall decoration. There should be no decorative overlays or cornices on the front of the cabinet. This is the only way to make a secret wardrobe in the living room. Most often, the same panels are used for wall decoration as for filling sliding doors. But the alternative can be any other material, but only the color must be the same in both cases.

The living room is the main area of ​​the house where family members spend most of their time getting together or welcoming guests. The presence of a cabinet that harmoniously fits into the interior of the room is optional, but such an element will greatly facilitate life and complete the design. We offer you to find out how to choose the right wardrobe in the hall, what types of this product are, how best to place it in the interior.

The choice of a wardrobe for a hall in an apartment depends on the goals pursued by its future owners. Its purpose for living rooms can be different, respectively, there are certain features that you should know about before choosing this type of furniture:

• storage of clothes is the most common purpose of a wardrobe, in whatever room of an apartment or house it is located. An open or closed structure with any facade is suitable for this;
• storage of household items. This applies to many household items, for example, having equipped the inner space of the wardrobe, you can not only store clothes there, but also put an ironing board or hide a vacuum cleaner;
• open areas such as niches can be used as bookshelves, photo frames, clocks and other items can be located on them;
• in some small apartments, where the living room serves as a bedroom, transformer wardrobes with a folding bed are used.

A feature of the hall closet is its versatility and the fact that it is used by all family members. The dimensions and pre-planned arrangement of shelves, hangers, rods and other accessories help this element to be a universal thing.

Views

Cabinets can be divided into several types, according to their design features. We present the main three types of the most common designs:

• built-in structures are a common type of storage for rooms where there is a niche suitable for installation. The advantage is the low cost compared to their non-built-in counterparts. The savings on materials when installing the built-in cabinet are obvious, because you do not have to install the back and side walls, you just need a facade. The disadvantage of this design is that the walls of the room deteriorate during the installation of the internal body kit;
• modular wardrobes - furniture consisting of parts, so-called modules. This means that such cabinets are not a one-piece unit, but a multi-functional structure formed from parts. The main advantage of the product is the ability to create a set to your liking, for example, when it comes to storing clothes, you can add a vertical shelf with drawers to it for storing small accessories or things of frequent use, for example, small household appliances. Modular wardrobes are a design that everyone used to call a furniture wall, only today this bulky detail, which previously attracted all the attention of room visitors, has become a stylish element, as ergonomic and compact as possible, complementing the design of the hall. Modules of dark tones, for example, dark oak, will look great;
• cabinet cabinets are the most popular type of products in this segment of the furniture industry. This is a final finished product assembled from fiberboard, chipboard or wood sheets into a one-piece structure, which is not intended for revision or modification. Before buying, you should clearly understand exactly where the product will stand, since the possibility of its further successful movement is extremely small.

Accommodation options

The arrangement of the room largely depends on the correct selection and arrangement of furniture. The so-called wall is one of the largest pieces of furniture purchased by the owners of the dwelling, so the question of the successful location of the "giant" inside the interior becomes acute. Here are some guidelines to help you do this:

• certainly, if you have a niche, you should give preference to a built-in wardrobe that uses the available space as useful as possible. The location inside the niche is beneficial in that after the repair of the room, this place will not require special attention to itself, since it will be hidden behind the doors of the facade. The unevenness of the walls or the difference between the cladding material and the main type of the room does not matter. It is better to spend money on a more presentable wooden facade made of high-quality wood species, for this, for example, oak is perfect;
• any wall is suitable for the role of a cabinet space. Do not get carried away with large and long cabinets, installing them in the hall with the entire wall - this will visually steal space and make the room elongated and uncomfortable. Modular wardrobes with low modules in the form of small tables or shelves, complete with a low wardrobe, fit perfectly to the walls. The surface of the lower tier in the form of pedestals or racks is used as a stand for audio and video equipment. When placing a wardrobe with hinged doors in the hall, take into account the radius of their opening in order to avoid interfering with or damaging other furniture;
• a large area of ​​the hall in the apartment can be divided into parts by a wardrobe, creating a zoning of the territory. For this, compartment designs are suitable, and a modular wardrobe with shelving will not create the illusion of piling up. The living room playing the role of a bedroom will become cozier after zoning, and a transformer wardrobe with a folding bed makes the most of the free space.

Facade decoration

The appearance of the furniture, its aesthetic and practical components play an important role in the interior of the hall in the apartment, creating the necessary atmosphere and mood for residents or guests of the house. The front of the cabinet, or its "face", should fit into the design of the hall and be comfortable, this can be achieved by adhering to some recommendations:

• the sliding front of the sliding wardrobe is the most common type of this furniture product on the market. There are many options for decorating such a facade and materials for its manufacture. The main materials are decorative glass, plastic, mirror, varnish, chipboard, MDF, bamboo, artificial leather, as well as photo wallpaper. Depending on the material used, the price of the finished product rises, sometimes reaching a fairly high level. MDF boards are often decorated with oak, cedar, yew, or other tree species. Modern interiors often feature white plastic panel facades;
• swing doors are more common, but less common, so there are no problems with the choice of fastening mechanisms. The main focus when buying is on the hinges and the material. Usually the swinging facade is made of wood (spruce, oak, ash) or MDF boards, rarely glass. Wooden doors are the most sophisticated, but they are relatively expensive, especially those of oak type. The walls with them are made paneled or with decoupage;
• the shelves located in the hall fit perfectly, because they are modern versions of the previously popular "wall". The design is well suited for a small room without creating visual obstacles in it. The rack serves as a place for storing things of decorative value (figurines, watches, photographs), electronic equipment, and in the case of using a partially closed facade, textiles fit perfectly there.

Shape and dimensions

The size and shape of the wardrobe are determined by the buyer's personal preferences and the free space of the hall in the apartment. The size of the furniture does not always affect its capacity, the important issue is the correct organization of the internal space of the storage and its shape in relation to the geometry of the room.

As for the shape, the cabinets in this regard can be different:

• straight
• triangular;
• radius;
  • concave;
  • convex;
• trapezoidal;
• five-walled;
• diagonal.

Triangular

Trapezoidal

Radial

• the height of the cabinet is chosen differently - with the space between the ceiling and the upper part of the furniture or right next to the ceiling. The space between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling is completely closed to maximize the use of the usable volume of the product. If the cabinet is not adjacent to the ceiling, then you should take care of free access to the gap for ease of cleaning;
• the bottom of the swing cabinet is made with a plinth. This will protect the carpets from friction of the open facade, and with a basement height over 70 cm, the feet of the residents will be safe;
• a tall cabinet will look ridiculous in a cramped room. It will constrain the already small space, threateningly hanging over the tenants;
• the thickness of the cabinet is a sore point for compartment facades. Unlike swing doors, the sliding front mechanism is approximately 100mm thick, added to the standard minimum 600mm thickness for the main cabinet space;
• corner cabinets are useful when there is a strong shortage of free space. This design will fit well into any corner of the room, without taking away precious square centimeters of usable area;
• there are certain recommendations for choosing the width of compartment cabinets, as opposed to cabinets with hinged facades. The thing is that sliding doors with a width of less than 500 mm, they will function defectively and stop when moving, therefore, with a minimum number of three doors, it is worth counting on the full width of the cabinet at least 1.5 m.

There are a number of tips for choosing any kind of furniture for a hall in an apartment, which will help keep the family budget, avoid disappointment from a bad purchase and enjoy the organization of the interior in the house. We present to your attention the main recommendations:

• the quality of materials must be of a high level and correspond to modern standards of furniture production. The safest tree remains, which is not treated with resins and glue, which are harmful to human health. You should also pay attention to cheaper certified products made of MDF boards, glass, or plastic. When choosing a wooden cabinet, pay attention to oak, cedar, ash;
• safety concerns not only the issue of materials, but also the quality of the assembly. The parts of the product must be in good working order and also have the appropriate certificates. It is better to give preference to accessories and working mechanisms of famous manufacturers. All movable mechanisms should normally run quietly. Extraneous sounds of a crunch or squeak signal malfunctions that will soon turn into a serious breakdown;
• door handles - a part of swing doors that often hits walls or adjacent furniture. Pay attention to how the wall is located in relation to the corners of walls, easily scratched surfaces;
• it is worth choosing aluminum rollers in sliding doors - they work quieter and more reliable. Plastic parts are cheap and short-lived;
• swing doors must have closers to ensure the safety of closing the facade. This device is especially important for children;
• calculate the needs for the internal space of the cabinet in advance and think over its internal filling before purchasing. It is worth roughly estimating the available number of things and the desired amount of future acquisition.

Adhering to the recommendations, the choice of a new cabinet will be easy, and the purchase will give pleasure not only at the time of purchase, but also during its use. It doesn't matter if your goal is a standard wall or a transformer cabinet, proper planning and preparation will help to realize the conceived interior.

With the help of a wardrobe, you can create a harmonious space in which everything will be in its place.

Living room with wardrobe: advantages and disadvantages

It is necessary to form the interior correctly. A sliding wardrobe in the interior of the hall is an unusual solution, since the living room is usually not intended for storing things.

If you take good care of the furniture, then it will stand for more than a dozen years.

How to choose a wardrobe to bring benefit and joy - read on. Sliding wardrobes are the face of every home. The larger it is, the more spacious it is, and this is very important for any person so that the cabinet can hold the maximum amount of things. Due to the fact that the hall is the first place that guests see, it should look as free as possible. The sliding wardrobe provides a wonderful opportunity to hide in itself a lot of things that are unnecessary for everyday use, so that the hall looks free and beautiful. The presence of mirrors in the wardrobe will help to visually increase the area of ​​the hall and add brightness to the room.

Sliding wardrobes in the hall on the whole wall are an adornment of any home. It doesn't matter where you live: in a Khrushchev building or in a large apartment. A full-wall sliding wardrobe will look beautiful and stylish anywhere. It is very important to pay attention to the style when ordering.

• Stained glass;
• Frosted glass;
• Drawings;
• Photo wallpaper;
• Corrugated glass.

The more original the drawing on the cabinet, the more interesting it will look in the interior of the apartment. The design of the wardrobe is agreed in advance when placing an order. It is very rare when a client is satisfied with a ready-made version presented in a store. Most often, an order is made for the manufacture of furniture according to a special sketch. It comes out more expensive than usual, but the result is worth it.

Sliding wardrobes fit perfectly into minimalism, which is used everywhere in modern design. Why? Because the wardrobe is "imprinted" into the wall and becomes almost invisible. If you don't look closely, you may not notice that there is a wardrobe in the room at all, so masterfully it is hidden in the wall.

Types of sliding wardrobes in the hall: the most popular models

The wardrobe in the hall should be chosen based on the general style of the apartment. It should be noted that in the living room a wardrobe can be installed if there is no such piece of furniture as a modular wall. In very rare cases, the wardrobe is successfully combined with a wall from another set. In most cases, they are discordant with each other, so it is better to avoid such "neighborhood".

There are the following types of wardrobes for the living room:

• Mirrored;
• Corner;
• Radial;
• Modular.

What's the difference between them? A mirrored wardrobe is perfect for small rooms, because it visually enlarges the space and adds light to it. Mirrored doors add airiness and grace to the space without cluttering the place. The corner wardrobe is also suitable for small rooms, as it makes the most unpopular place in the room - the corner - functional.

Corner cabinets can be deeper but smaller in width. Plus, it practically does not occupy the main area of ​​the living room.

The radial wardrobe has appeared in the range of furniture stores quite recently, but in a short time it won the love of the consumer thanks to its stylish design, the absence of sharp corners and the ability to fit into any interior. A modular wardrobe can include various details such as mezzanines, bedside tables, slides. The modular system is suitable for medium and large areas, where the presence of excess furniture is permissible. The modular wardrobe will appeal to those who love a uniform style throughout the house.

Choosing a wardrobe in the Khrushchev hall: how to find a suitable option

For Khrushchev, it is important to save space and try to increase it.

2. The color of the cabinet should be light, if used in the design of wallpaper, they should be in light, white or beige shades.
3. The sliding wardrobe should be as invisible as possible against the background of the rest of the interior.

The stricter the overall interior of the living room, the fewer original details should be in the cabinet design. If the interior of the living room in Khrushchev is made in ethnic style, the wardrobe can be decorated with photo wallpapers with a suitable theme.

Please note that it is especially important for the Khrushchev living room to use a corner wardrobe so that there is as much space as possible on a straight surface.

Folded exactly to the arches of a friend, on their shelves, and how nice it is to open the closet and take something, neat, ironed. A certain place is occupied by a closet in the apartment, it serves as a "home" for things. He is like a huge keeper of secrets and the owner of the room, proudly standing in the house, watching what is happening. How to choose a wardrobe in an apartment so that everything is harmoniously combined? After all, it directly affects the interior of the room, its functionality, comfort.

At the moment, there are various types of cabinets.

• Freestanding;
• Built-in;
• Convertible wardrobes, with various configurations and doors, or without doors at all, as well as for different purposes.

The cabinet is definitely chosen from its location. The hall usually contains bookcases, wardrobes for clothes and linen, combined wardrobes or partitions. Not an easy choice with such a variety of cabinets.

When deciding on the purpose and location of the cabinet in the apartment, you must predict its design. Our choice of cabinet location is the hall.

The hall is the largest place in the apartment, and it also takes the first place in the family's pastime. This means that the wardrobe in the living room must meet the following requirements: for storing linen, clothes, closing them from "prying" eyes, because the hall receives guests. It should create comfort and harmony in the living room. Cabinets should have drawers, separate shelves and a compartment with rods for hangers. It should be spacious and at the same time not clutter up the living room. All the criteria are met by the wardrobe and of course the entire wall. It will suit not only a spacious hall, but also a small hall.

Compact wardrobes in Khrushchev in the hall

The Khrushchev hall is characterized by small dimensions with a ceiling height of 2.4 m to 2.7 m and terrible sound insulation. It is important to consider that the Khrushchev hall is a walk-through room. Only a wardrobe will give a modern look to the Khrushchev hall. It will visually increase, lengthen the space without interfering or cluttering it.

A stand-alone cabinet will not cope with such a task at all, which will simply return time back, for example, to the "80s" and will act as a dust collector. Another of the problems of Khrushchev is the floor covering, it is mostly wooden. When installing a wardrobe, it is necessary to align or replace it.

The hallway in Khrushchev requires special attention. What wallpaper and furniture are suitable for this, you will learn from our material:

Hall wardrobe design

There are various materials from which the cabinets are made:

• From fibreboard (fiberboard);
• Made of dry wood fibers (MDF) glued together;
• Made of chipboard (chipboard).

But the main thing is to choose the facing of the material. At the moment, the range of companies has a huge selection. If we are talking about design, then it is necessary to take a more responsible attitude to the choice of material cladding - this is the front part of the material.
