Convenient storage systems are an important attribute of any apartment, private mansion, work shop. Placement of clothing, shoes, haberdashery and other things should be as convenient as possible. A functional closet built into the hallway takes up relatively little space, while accommodating a ton of all kinds of things.
due to the fact that you do not need to do the back, side walls, the material is spent on an order of magnitude less, which significantly reduces the cost of the finished product;
the ability to accurately enter an element anywhere in the apartment;
with similar dimensions, greater capacity than a freestanding piece of furniture;
variety of design options;
internal content is created for the needs of a particular person or family;
the widest selection of materials for manufacturing, design;
almost unlimited functionality;
it’s easy to hide unsightly interior details behind construction surfaces - pipes, counters, columns, ventilation ducts, etc.
But there are a number of minuses:
so that the furniture item looks beautiful, does not have distortions, the place where it is planned to be built in should have smooth walls, a floor, and all angles should be strictly 90 degrees;
when mounting in the room where the installation of suspended ceilings is planned, additional guide beams for doors will be required;
when moving the product will not work with you, during redevelopment - move it to another corner;
poorly made system of sliding doors can quickly fail, which will entail additional material, time costs.
Varieties of wardrobes
Built-in wardrobes of the "compartment" type are custom-made, in accordance with the dimensions and configuration of the room. They are distinguished by such parameters:
place of installation;
mounting method;
material of manufacture;
appointment;
type of assembly;
design features;
design decoration;
the number of doors.
The door opening mechanism may be support or hinged.The support version is reliable, able to withstand heavy loads, in the lower part there are rollers on which the door moves. In the hinged version, the rollers are on top - the door here should be as light as possible.
By model design
Designs of wardrobes are different:
linear - the product is placed along one wall, adjacent to one corner or significantly not reaching it, is built into a niche (two angles are involved here), can be trapezoidal;
angular - can be L-shaped, that is, consisting of two cabinets connected together, triangular, pentagonal - having side shelves;
radial - mounted in a corner, less often - to one wall, the front part is made round - convex or concave. The product is difficult to manufacture, install, because the cost of it will be slightly higher than for simpler options;
combined - such a structure looks like a wave, it is quite dimensional, it is installed in spacious rooms, decorating them.
By the number of doors
The number of doors is calculated based on the size of the structure. The fewer doors, the easier, more convenient to use a locker. The standard width of the wings is 55-75 cm. The overlap of the sliding doors is made at least five to seven cm. The most popular two-door cabinet designs - the doors are made sliding or swinging. One-door ideas are partially open items or with only one drop-down door. In a three-door cabinet, as well as products with a large number of doors, the number of vertical compartments is made, one for each door.
By installation method
The coupe is mounted in various ways that determine the technical characteristics of the finished structure:
built-in - does not have side walls, lids and floors, instead of all this - the capital surfaces of the room. The space here is used to the maximum benefit.The product is built into a niche that is completely blocked by a facade with doors - there should be no gaps;
semi-built-in - it is installed along the wall or in the corner, has one or two sidewalls, the "insides" of such a cabinet are mounted directly on the main or interior wall. The construction provides additional sound insulation of the room located behind it;
suspended - the design gives the impression of “floating” doors in the air, the sliding mechanism of which is not visible;
floor - refers to cabinet furniture, stands on the floor, does not reach the ceiling a little, does not fasten to the walls of the room.
Accommodation options
The integrated product gives an excellent opportunity to use every centimeter of the available space with maximum benefit. The project indicates where it is planned to embed the future furniture product. In a tight “Khrushchev”, this is usually a niche, in the more spacious “Stalinka” - a long, wide corridor to which such a product will give comfort. If the room is large, there are several lockers designed for various purposes.
In the "Khrushchev"
Khrushchev's apartments are characterized by cramped anteriors that have relatively low ceilings - about 240 cm. The built-in closet is very small, very minimalist in design. The product is made narrow, small-sized, the available space is slightly expanded with the help of mirror surfaces, open shelves, decorative and functional lighting.
Sliding wardrobe in “Khrushchev” often has an integral or separately mounted extension in the form of mezzanines located at an angle or opposite the main structure. Both parts combine with each other in design, color design.
In a long narrow hallway
A long narrow corridor is made out of a cabinet with a width smaller than usual. Hinged doors are undesirable here - they clutter up a cramped space, interfering with movement.Clothes on hangers in such a cabinet are located on the bars along the door, the shelves are also narrow - up to 40 cm. It is also better to refuse volumetric decor, but large mirrors will fall into the theme.
In the little hallway
Narrow, short lockers are selected for the small front ones. Hull structures are unacceptable here, as they take up a lot of space. For visual expansion of the space, bright glossy surfaces and full-length mirrors are used here. Bright, multi-color, overly detailed ornaments are not suitable - in a cramped room they look bad.
In the big hallway
The spacious front is decorated with a large wardrobe. When the room is close to square in shape, the installation of two symmetrical corner structures is acceptable. This makes sense if the apartment has a large family with many things. In one corner, clothes with shoes are stored here, in the other - various household utensils, sports equipment, small household appliances, etc. An L-shaped or radius locker is also acceptable. The latter is conveniently located between two doors leading to separate rooms. The case design is also suitable. Tip: when the area of the hallway is 10-15 or more "squares", it is easy to equip a full-fledged corner wardrobe.
Design of sliding wardrobes
The exterior design is selected for the design of the room:
classic - only natural light wood, a small number of carved elements;
hi-tech - frosted glass, shiny metal, plenty of mirrors, doors are only made sliding;
loft - artificially aged wood with "artistic" scuffs;
Japanese - oriental-themed glass with photo printing, bamboo details;
minimalism - special strong plastic, monophonic glass, MDF;
ecological - wood, chipboard, color imitating an untreated tree;
Baroque - mainly dark wood, decorated with carvings, hand-painted, mosaics;
The manufacturing materials here are used practically the same as for creating a conventional cabinet:
natural wood;
MDF;
Chipboard;
Fiberboard;
plastic;
drywall;
metal.
The frame is most often made of metal or wood - it must have increased strength. Plastic for exterior design is often used because of its cheapness, but it is easily scratched, losing its appearance.
When planning the internal content, take into account that the shelves and other elements should not be excessively thick, wide, take up a lot of space.
Wardrobe from chipboard
The most popular is the creation of furniture from wood-particle boards - the material is inexpensive, durable, easy to process, but heavy and without a special finish ugly. Its main disadvantage is the presence in the composition of formaldehydes, which are more or less able to be released into the environment, because such cabinets are not recommended for installation in apartments where children live. They design the structure with mirrors, including those with sandblasted painting along the edge or corners, colored glass, self-adhesive films that imitate the texture of wood, stone, etc.
Wardrobe from MDF
Lining of MDF and plastic is also used, but the frame of the doors is made of wood for strength. The product has a beautiful appearance, on the outside it is made out with a matte or glossy PVC film, veneer of valuable wood species or painted. The design is affordable, strong, durable, does not emit harmful formaldehyde, benzene into the environment, and is easy to install. The variety of colors allows you to choose a cabinet from MDF to almost any interior. A significant drawback is the rapid ignition of the material in contact with an open flame. Tip: the facades of structures made of MDF are decorated with mirrors, glass with photo printing and sandblasting.There are options that externally imitate the texture of wood.
Wooden wardrobe
The wooden structure is an indispensable attribute of a stylish, luxurious interior. Natural wood is more expensive than other lumber, but the appearance of a product made from it is very different from cheaper fakes. The material is durable, wear-resistant, durable, pleasant to the touch, does not emit harmful chemicals into the air. The following wood species are commonly used:
stained, bleached oak;
beech;
hornbeam;
larch;
nut;
Linden;
Pine;
ash;
cherry;
maple;
Birch.
Expensive breeds like mahogany, cedar, wenge, are used only for designing elite interiors. More often their high-quality imitation is encountered, which only a specialist can determine, as well as veneer finish.
It is important to choose wood without knots, cracks, with a minimum amount of twitching. Usually use glued beams, lining, it is desirable to process them with special compounds that prevent mold, damage by fungus, insects. This is especially important for apartments located on the ground floor, where there is constant dampness.
Drywall wardrobe
The construction of drywall sheets is not a cabinet in the usual sense, it is rather part of the house itself. Most often they make it with their own hands, less often - they order production to the master. The product comes out cheaper than the construction of chipboard, it will be an excellent zoning element in the interior - it is easy to fit into any room, despite the existing design of the latter. Such a cabinet is strong enough, able to withstand significant loads. The disadvantage of this product is that it is impossible to make a mobile cabinet - only stationary. Sharp objects, piercing and cutting tools cannot be stored in it, as well as hanging heavy doors on hinges. If "classic" doors are needed, the structure is additionally reinforced with wooden blocks, additional profiles.
Materials for doors, facade
In order for the finished design to have a presentable appearance, you need to take care of the high-quality performance of doors and facades. They are made from:
a tree;
Chipboard;
MDF;
HDF;
acrylic;
lacquer;
lacobel;
glass;
mirrors;
plywood.
The type of materials from which these elements will be created, decorative design, is selected in accordance with the planned or existing interior style. For a classic, ecological style, Provence, Baroque, loft, natural wood is preferable. Mirror surfaces are most often used in hi-tech style, minimalism, MDF is used in both classic and modern interiors.
For fashion decoration apply:
sandblasting drawings on glass;
vinyl;
rattan;
leather;
Cork tree;
wooden overhead carved parts;
photo printing;
stained glass;
silk screen printing.
Combined products look best: wood and glass, MDF and mirror inserts, lacobel and chipboard.
Dimensions
The dimensions of the cabinet are made almost any - it all depends on the parameters of the existing room. The design should look good, contain everything you need, without cluttering up the room. The height is usually made up to the ceiling, less often it does not reach it by 10-20 cm, the depth is 40-100 cm, but the corner models are deeper, the average length is 0.8-3.2 meters.
If it is planned that several people will use the locker, then the item will be made even larger. For children and adults of small stature, a small step-stand should be provided.
Internal arrangement, cabinet filling
The internal content depends on the purpose of the product - only for clothes, clothes and shoes, household items and toys. The standard "filling" is approximately the following:
spacious sections for storing large items with significant weight;
shelves of different sizes, the distance between them is also very different;
drawers that extend. They store underwear, other small items;
rods where crumpled and outerwear are hung;
stands for umbrellas;
hooks for ties, etc.
On the upper level, in drawers or on shelves, there are things rarely used, what is needed daily is kept closer.
Pantographs, crossbeams, rods
These items are usually made of strong hollow pipes, designed to place various items of clothing on the shoulders, hangers of various configurations - coats, blouses, trousers, skirts, etc. An ordinary bar or several, mounted in cabinets with a width of 65 cm - this distance is enough. to hang the shoulders, without hindering the progress of the sliding doors.
Pantographs are mounted at a high height - the item is convenient in that it can be easily lowered if necessary, and then put into place without resorting to the help of stepladders, stools, steps. Hangers for trousers - the most convenient device for all family members, usually located in the lower side of the cabinets. They are a small structure with several parallel thin rails located at a small distance from each other. Hanged for belts, belts, ties, bras, other similar elements, are mounted on one of the side walls, significantly saving space. Such items can be hung on hooks, which is less convenient.
Combination rods are available for corner constructions. The long part is used in them for hanging fur coats, coats, long raincoats, children’s outer clothing, jackets, and jackets are placed on the short upper section. Umbrellas and bags are located below. It hung, mounted perpendicular to the wall, suitable for narrow cabinets - up to 45 cm, and the sliding structures of hangers are also placed there.
The upper bar is mounted at a height of 100-150 cm, the lower - 60-85 cm. Pantographs are placed even higher.
Drawers, laundry baskets
There can be a lot of boxes - to determine what lies in each of them, a sticker with a corresponding image or inscription is glued to the visible part. Baskets are usually mesh or woven, made of plastic, metal, rattan, etc. They store hosiery, underwear, neck, head scarves, various knitwear here. Hats are also stacked in boxes.
Shelves, niches for storing shoes
Shoe racks vary in height: in some it is convenient to store slippers, sneakers, flip-flops, in others - boots-boots, high heel ankle boots, berets, etc. Boots are sometimes placed on special hangers with clothespins. Boxes, boxes, baskets with shoes are usually stored on shelves below. The exception is festive, “weekend” shoes, worn literally a couple of times a year - they are stored under the ceiling.
If a large built-in wardrobe is the only such item in the apartment, here, on the upper shelves, blankets, bedding, spare pillows, and blankets are stored. This is only permissible in cases where these items cannot be hidden in the bedroom.
Features of self-installation
For your own installation of the structure you will need various tools, fasteners:
dowels, screws;
double sided tape;
sliding mechanisms for doors;
guides;
friezes for guides;
alcohol wipes to degrease the surface (you can use vodka and a gauze swab);
mounting metal corners of different sizes;
rods and bar holders;
racks-hung;
building level, not less than a meter long;
tape measure or electronic range finder;
jigsaw;
screwdriver;
hammer;
screwdrivers;
electric drill or punch;
various accessories for outdoor decoration.
The most important thing here is to correctly measure all the parts, having calculated the allowances for mounting (you can trim the excess later), take into account all the errors of the walls, if it is impossible to level them out qualitatively.Measurements are made at three levels in the rear (above, below, in the middle), after which the future frontal plane and sidewalls are measured. At least 9-12 cm are laid on the sliding door mechanism, it is attached to the frame and guides. Long shelves, more than 700-900 mm, are fastened at three to four points, dowels are used for cruciform storage devices, in addition - PVA glue. Lattice structures are mounted on furniture clips, corner - on a vertical bar.
The upper and lower guides must be strictly parallel - if this moment is not observed, there may be problems with the movement of the doors, until they fall out of the cabinet.
Rules for choosing a finished cabinet
Some companies offer built-in constructions of standard sizes - usually such products are mounted in a corner, since niches come in completely different sizes and it’s problematic to choose a suitable cabinet. In stores, cabinets are selected according to the presented samples.
Benefits of purchasing a ready-made embedded item:
you don’t have to wait - the cabinet is ready, it remains only to take it home, install it. When ordering a product on an individual project, you will have to wait a few weeks;
what the finished coupe looks like, how its doors are closed-opened, what shelves-rods-hangers-niches are available, possible defects can be seen right away;
lower cost than custom-made designs. The price excludes the departure of the measurer, designer, because this is a typical product.
But there are also disadvantages:
the hull design will take up more space than the fully integrated one, which is very important when the hallway is small;
color, configuration, decoration, decor will have to choose from the proposed - for complex interiors, this option is unacceptable.
When choosing, you should take into account the compliance of the internal content with the intended tasks. Door closers must be of high quality - the ease of use of the entire product depends on their work.If the cabinet is equipped with mirrors, it is desirable to have a protective film on their surface - if accidentally broken, it will not allow small fragments to fly around the room, injure any of the household. The design is also taken into account - the cabinet must match the design of the room for which it is intended.
How to do it yourself
It’s quite difficult to make a full-fledged sliding wardrobe with your own hands - you will need to carefully measure all the corners, cut the material, think through the sliding system.
What exactly needs to be done:
decide what exactly will be placed inside the product;
make all necessary measurements;
prepare a corner, a niche, a wall;
draw a sketch, and then a drawing, indicating all sizes;
to think over the design of moving parts;
choose a method of securing shelves, rods, boxes;
buy all the necessary materials, tools, accessories;
cut out the planned details;
completely assemble the structure;
if necessary - paint, varnish;
if there is a desire - mount internal lamps.
Width, depth, number of doors are designed based on the size of the room. Cutting parts can be ordered in the carpentry workshop - at home this is very problematic. There you can additionally pay for the edging of all sections, which will protect the finished product from possible exposure to moisture, increasing its service life.
Conclusion
A modern, beautiful wardrobe can be of almost any shape, size. Typical and designer products are available in all kinds of options - picking them up with the existing interior style is not difficult. If you wanted a completely unique product, then, in the presence of suitable materials, tools and your own “golden hands”, you can also make a cabinet. The most interesting, new models, solutions suitable for various interior styles can be easily found on the pages of online magazines on the subject of furniture, room design.
Convenient storage systems are an important attribute of any apartment, private mansion, work shop. Placement of clothing, shoes, haberdashery and other things should be as convenient as possible. A functional closet built into the hallway takes up relatively little space, while accommodating a ton of all kinds of things.
