A hinged wardrobe in the bedroom as a practical system for storing clothes

Today, the hinged wardrobe in the bedroom has radically changed the design, has become mobile and multi-functional.

According to the material of manufacture

In the manufacturing process of wardrobes for clothes, they most often use:

wood - the most expensive models are made from natural wood. The facades made in the classical style are decorated with spectacular carved elements, curly cornices or embossed overlays;
Chipboard - from modern material traditional models are created that differ in form rigor and affordable price. Laminated coating gives the product special strength and water resistance;
MDF - a fiberboard is made from small particles by dry pressing and is comparable in quality to a natural massif in its quality characteristics. The material has a wide palette of shades allowing you to create the most diverse design.

For modern minimalism, hi-tech or neoclassic, a swing cabinet with a smooth or varnished facade is more suitable. Strict laconic facades and the absence of decorative elements are especially relevant.

Wing cabinets with blank doors made of natural wood are suitable for arranging country or Provence. Curly cornices, decorative carvings and side pilasters add individuality to furniture and emphasize the sophistication of the modern, baroque or empire styles.

Shape and size

A wardrobe can be in an angular or rectilinear configuration, but if desired, you can create a convenient L-shaped model. In this case, it is enough to connect several straight sections and a roomy corner module.

Dimensions of finished products are calculated by the number of swing doors available. The standard width of each leaf is 50 cm. Depending on the size of the bedroom, you can choose a single or three-winged wardrobe.

Compact models occupy a small area, but are less convenient. Instead of a bar, manufacturers often install hooks or a small end hanger, it is attached perpendicular to the wall. Using such a device is not entirely convenient, because the things in front block everything else.

Spacious cabinets take up a lot of space, but at the same time they have the most advanced storage system. In the inner compartment, parallel to the wall, there is a rack with shoulders, and voluminous household items will fit on the upper open shelf.

How to choose

When buying a new swing cabinet, you need to consider many nuances:

size - the dimensions of the furniture are selected based on the size of the bedroom. For narrow rooms, a compact single-door model is more suitable. In a spacious room, it is better to install a roomy three or four-winged wardrobe;
