Types of construction

There are such types of wardrobes installed in the hallway:

Embedded	The design is attached directly to the wall, since it does not have its own floor and ceiling. This is a good way to save material. Bearing structures for the frame are the ceiling and walls. Shelves and pipes are fixed directly to the walls. Such furniture is great for a small room. The disadvantage is the difficulty in fitting to the required dimensions. Therefore, it is desirable that this work is performed by a professional. Each built-in wardrobe is an individual project, made for specific parameters. Therefore, it will not work. Anyway, on their own.
Semi built	Installation is one side of the wall. However, their own floor and ceiling may be absent. Compared with cabinet furniture, this design is cheaper.
Case	These are separate cabinets that have their own floor, roof and walls. There are all the elements inherent in the standard design, namely - the details of the frame. Their cost is higher than the built-in and semi-built-in furniture, but if necessary, the wardrobe can be moved. You can order furniture on an individual project or use the standard option.

Corner

Distinguish L-shaped, triangular, pentagonal and trapezoidal designs. The use of different options depends on the configuration of the hallway. In the L-shaped cabinets, both parts are mutually perpendicular. The wardrobe triangular shape repeats the configuration of the angle. Of course, it cannot be called roomy, but it is compact and blends harmoniously into the interior. Especially convenient trapezoidal and pentagonal furniture. It is roomy and stable, but it takes up much more space than a triangular design. A special case of a corner cabinet is a radial design.

Products with an open facade

The advantage of such products - the ultimate convenience. Clothing is directly accessible on a hanger, shoes are stored in the drawers. Such models are a real find for a small hallway. Each of these options has its positive and negative sides. The specific choice depends on the size and shape of the room, as well as on the taste preferences of the potential buyer.

Materials and accessories

Consider the most common materials used in the manufacture of wardrobes.

Chipboard and MDF. Chipboard - is a kind of champion of popularity. It is durable, lightweight material. Given the protective coatings, chipboard is environmentally safe. MDF is somewhat more expensive, but also stronger. Because of the smooth surface, it is well painted. Veneered coating is a cut of noble wood.
Laminate is a realistic imitation of stone, ceramics or such varieties of noble wood as bleached and bog oak, wenge, mahogany.
Aluminum, steel. Aluminum structures are more expensive, but they are more lightweight. In addition, the steel profile during operation is quite noisy. However, the strength of aluminum is inferior to steel.
Mirror elements are very convenient and practical. It is possible to use conventional products or with a printed pattern.
Glass. In addition to the transparent, color, embossed and tinted versions are used. Special film makes the glass safe. Also used triplex - damage-resistant glass.

Very popular facades, which are a combination of different materials. For furniture use plastic, leather and textiles.

Dimensions

Before buying a product, it is necessary to determine its location and make measurements.

Height and width of the cabinet. These are the main dimensions.
Product depth
When planning the equipment of the product, it must be remembered that the distance between the hanger and the shoe rack should be 90 cm. In this case, the clothes and shoes will not be in contact with each other.

Proper measurement of overall dimensions is quite a complicated and responsible matter. Therefore, it is desirable to entrust it to a professional furniture maker or designer.

Filling

Its practicality, functionality and convenience depend on how thoughtful and high-quality the internal filling of the wardrobe compartment depends. Internal filling includes: shelves, drawers, laundry baskets, and shoe storage devices.

For outerwear

Outerwear is placed on hangers. The use of the rod and pantograph makes it possible to place the product in several tiers and, thus, save space. On the rods you can also place hooks for non-obscure items of outerwear, for accessories and handbags.

For shoes

Shoes are placed on the shelves of plastic or aluminum mesh. Install them slightly at an angle so that the shoes are noticeable better. It is impossible to fix the shoeboxes too close to each other or on the floor of the product itself so that dirt does not accumulate under them. It is necessary to clean the shelves from dirt more often, so that the dust does not settle on other things. Shelves can be folding or sliding. It all depends on the preferences of the owners.

Shelves and drawers

The shelves are made of laminated chipboard, aluminum or plastic. The standard shelf is made of the same material as the body of the product. Shelves made of laminated chipboard are durable and can withstand quite heavy objects (for example, household appliances). The interval between the shelves ranges from 250 to 400 mm. It all depends on what kind of things you are going to store on them. Drawers, as a rule, are mounted in the middle zone of the cabinet. Typically, from 3 to 5 drawers are installed vertically. The bottom boxes carry more capacious. They are convenient for storing large items: for example, blankets or bed linen.

It is convenient to use vertical fabric organizers in the wardrobes. They store small items, underwear and even shoes.

For vacuum cleaner, ironing board and other household accessories

Temporarily not used household appliances can be stored on large roomy shelves below. Very comfortable design with built-in ironing board. Attach it to the side stand. The board is very compact and does not take up much space. It is based on high-strength plywood with a coating of foil and refractory batting. Sometimes laminated plywood is replaced with a metal mesh.

Design

By itself, the wardrobe - a modern design. But we should not think that it will fit only in modern design. Judge for yourself.

Modern style. Artificial materials with a non-standard texture prevail here. It is an unusual color, contrast of matte and glossy surfaces that compensate for the ascetic-strict geometry of the lines and the minimum of the usual decor.
Classic. First of all, it is natural wood or its high-quality imitation (for example, veneered surface). Color can be different: from pastel-tender to dark. Smooth lines, decorated with tasteful carvings, rounded corners of the case - all this fits into the style canons. "Empire style" is more monumental, for "baroque" is characterized by an abundance of decor.
Minimalism. This style corresponds to the design with a straight monotone facade. The decor is completely absent. Fit well in minimalist design built-in wardrobes. They function remarkably, without “eating” the precious space of a small room.

Provence. The peculiarity of this style is the vintage items. Since the wardrobe is a modern furniture, it is necessary to use artificially aged materials. The color scheme is pastel colors. Beautifully made painting or carving decoration is welcomed.
Loft. This is a chic bourgeois design, artfully hiding the luxury of ostentatious simplicity and coarseness. The best material for the wardrobe in the style of "loft" - a tree painted in natural colors. Looks great mirror design.

Color solutions

The main requirement when choosing the color of the product is to match the tint palette of the interior. It is necessary to take into account that there are already several dominant colors in it, that is why a too bright spot sometimes causes dissonance and looks annoying. The basic principles of choice are as follows.

As a rule, many models are represented in the catalogs very bright. This is nothing more than a “shop window” to attract customers. Putting such a product at home, shining with different shades, you are unlikely to achieve harmony.

Well, if there are lines in the decor that already exist on different interior items. Should I choose a cabinet that fully matches the color of the finishing materials for the floor and walls? Of course, the functionality of the furniture will not suffer from this in any way, but the interior will definitely lose.

The room will look like a monotonous box, even if it is decorated with first-class materials. On the contrary, if you choose a wardrobe of a different color (naturally combined with decoration), and diversify the interior with paintings, posters or other decor, then even low-budget furniture will transform the hallway. The color matching table is very useful in this respect.

If you have doubts about the color range, it makes sense to restrict reflective doors. Mirrors do not just look advantageous, but also visually expand the interior.

Choosing a place

The location for the wardrobe depends on the size and configuration of the hallway, as well as the location of the rest of the interior. For a small and narrow room, a good option is to place the wardrobe in a corner or niche. The choice for a small hallway is particularly difficult. You should choose the model that will fit everything you need. If you can not find something suitable in the offline or online store, you can order furniture in a specialized company. Designer trick - mirrored doors - help to make the space visually larger. The sliding wardrobes located in niches - the fine decision for a long narrow corridor. The most beneficial option for designers is a square or rectangular hallway. Here are relevant a variety of designs. If the hallway is connected to other rooms, the wardrobe can be used for functional zoning.

Choosing a location for the closet, you need to avoid contact with the entrance door and install the furniture at some distance from the entrance.

Tips for choosing

There are a lot of options for choosing furniture, therefore, in order not to err in choosing, we need basic knowledge. First you need to decide on the scenario for the use of furniture. What are you going to store in the closet? Will it be just a functional piece of furniture or any design element. Hence the subsequent selection criteria.

Doors. The most budget option is a chipboard with a 4 mm mirror. In addition, the sliding doors are made of the following materials: lacobel - painted decorative glass, plastic varnish - lacquered opaque glass. Look beautiful door with leather inserts. Compositions from different materials are also possible. Products decorated with decor are more expensive.
Manufacturing materials. The best combination of price and quality in chipboard Super E. Aluminum and steel are used for the moving part. The construction of steel is more quality, cheaper and more durable, and aluminum - silent and aesthetic.

Dimensions. It all depends on the individual size of the hallway.
Equipment.

There are some more basic tips for choosing.

Each installation location of the wardrobe in the apartment has its own individual design.
It is necessary that the sliding doors open easily and silently, are safe. This is especially true for families with children.
If you choose between aluminum and steel profiles, the first is preferable, despite the higher cost.
For drawers the extension mechanism is preferable not roller, but ball.
Accessories, intended for the internal filling of furniture, it is desirable to buy gradually. Initially, you can buy only what is relevant for this moment.

The first stage is the assembly of the product base. Most often, confermats and corners are used as fasteners. The base is attached to the bottom.
Assembly of the case. It is important to ensure that the top and bottom of the parts match the label. When assembling a cabinet, it is necessary to control so that the mounted parts do not bend, since the fastening can be broken out.
Fastening the cover of the product.
Installation of the rear wall. To fasten it with nails is undesirable, as it turns out fragile. Much more practical use of screws or construction stapler. Some models have a special groove for the wall.
Assembly control is to measure the diagonals of the product. They must be the same, otherwise the construction will turn out to be a curve, and the doors will not close tightly.
Installation of shelf holders and drawer guides.
Installation of shelves.
Installation of the wardrobe door. First, fix the rail with screws. The first is recommended to mount the top rail, and then the bottom. After that, mount the door.
Adjustment of the sash with hex. If the product is assembled correctly, the doors open and close in both directions to the end.
