What are the built-in wardrobes, and their features

One of the popular options for furniture are considered to be built-in structures. They select a minimum of usable area, occupy the area specifically designated for furniture, and compensate for the visual perception and architectural features of the room. Convenient and functional built-in closet can be placed in a decorative niche, close to the wall, create an angular structure.

Advantages and disadvantages

Cabinets in the built-in form are fully and partially built-in. Full integration - furniture is a sliding system of doors made of panels moving along the upper and lower guide rails with internal one-sided or two-sided filling - shelves, drawers, other elements. Not fully (partially) built-in wardrobes are products that have a ceiling or floor. The advantages of built-in closets include:

  • ergonomics - compact design with lockers saves free space in the room due to full filling;
  • the use of different fittings, the system of opening / closing the shutters - sliding, swing, combined type;
  • production on an individual project. It’s quite difficult to build a ready-made wardrobe, taking into account the characteristics of the room, it is better to order it;
  • full functionality - the internal content of the cabinet depends on the needs of the customer, his financial capabilities;
  • material saving - for the manufacture of a built-in cabinet does not require large parts of cabinet furniture plus mounting on the walls;
  • stability - filling elements need to be built into the walls of the room, so tipping the cabinet is excluded;
  • universal applicability - built-in cabinets can be installed in any room, mounted in a corner, a niche.
  • a large depth of the internal space, any sizes of models, a huge selection of colors, high-quality components;
  • the ability to integrate ironing boards, niches for digital technology, equip cabinets with televisions, mount beds;
  • zoning of the room - for a studio apartment or a large room, the built-in wardrobe can be used as a partition on two sides. Two sets of facades - an interesting solution to the built-in coupe.

Against the background of the large number of advantages of built-in sliding wardrobes, one cannot fail to note some drawbacks of products: a sliding wardrobe built into a niche cannot be relocated, installation holes on the walls of the room remain for drilling, the installation process requires the participation of experienced specialists.Door panels move along the guide profiles, consist of several sections, can have a uniform and radial shape, so the installation process requires practical skills in assembling built-in furniture. It is necessary to minimize the presence of technological gaps, to use reliable fittings, components, so that the furniture looks harmonious, neat, for a long time served the owners.

  • according to the design form - an angular triangular cabinet, L-shaped, trapezoidal (two sidewalls, two walls, door leaves). Often choose triangular models for halls with installation in a free corner;
  • the mechanism of the sliding system distinguishes built-in furniture with support on the upper or lower rollers. With the usual lower support sliding mechanism, heavy sashes can be hung. The suspension mechanism is good for lightweight constructions;
  • at the installation site - a modern model for installation in a corner, a niche, along the wall. Another option is a two-sided compartment, located as a screen partition in a large room, a one-room apartment, a modern studio;
  • for the execution of facades, furniture with rectilinear and curvilinear (radius) facades of concave and convex type is produced, using mirror, glossy, matte panels. A mirror door is needed in the hallway, bedroom, dressing room, nursery.

The versatility of the closet is that the furniture can be placed anywhere in the room, use empty corners, custom niches, realize any shape, depth and size. Built-in furniture is equipped with beds, mirrors, ironing boards. Current location of a beautiful coupe:

  • niche - wardrobes mounted in a niche are often used. It is important to accurately calculate the size of the free space so that the skew of the doors does not form in the planes and diagonally. Furniture can be installed in the hall, bedroom, child’s room, hallway. The visible part of the product is a beautiful facade that forms decorative doors. The occupancy of the model is tied to the depth of the niche, taking into account the clearance for the installation of panels;
  • corner - there are enough empty corners in each room. Properly “fitting” stationary furniture into them is problematic, therefore a triangular-shaped corner built-in wardrobe comes to the rescue. It differs from ordinary copies, completely fills the corner, can veil unsightly elements. The depth of the triangular-looking models is limited in capacity due to the rear walls;
  • wall - built-in products can be effectively positioned along the wall. Ceiling, floor, adjacent walls are elements of the cabinet. The design is closed by several sections of the doors. The furniture has a large capacity, the depth varies so as not to clutter the passage with a cabinet.The fittings, components, the sliding system must be durable to support the weight of the overall leaves.

It’s important to integrate a modern sliding wardrobe into a wall for zoning a room as a functional partition. The use of a double-sided product visually divides the room. The model is filled with double-sided front facades, furniture is built between the ceiling and the floor, looks spectacular with decor from photographs printed using photo printing technology.

A double-sided sliding wardrobe is an actual option for a one-room apartment with a small room, limited by free space, since things can be folded on both sides. Sometimes niches of a given depth are made from drywall under the sliding wardrobe - the design is used for small samples.

Facade materials

Facades determine the design of furniture, so the materials, color, decor of the elements are selected taking into account the style of the room. Each person seeks to put beautiful furniture in the house, not ordinary furniture. Therefore, manufacturers produce coupes of any kind with straight, concave, convex, combined panels.

The main requirement for a curved or straight facade is the high quality of the workmanship, strong supporting fittings, components, and the absence of decor that makes it difficult to slide the shutters one after another (volumetric elements, curly overlays, decorative ledges). Common facade design materials:

  • sash with mirrors - such models are ideal for equipping hallway cabinets - you can not do without a mirror door in a small room. Cabinets with mirror-filled facades visually increase the size of the room. Mirror coupe - a common version of built-in furniture for the corridor, bedroom. For the nursery on the locker, you can put a thematic image - a cartoon picture, a fairy-tale hero;
  • sandblasted compartment - the theme of the drawings is chosen, focusing on the design of the room, the style of the cabinet. When using sandblasting technology, the treated surface acquires a matte effect, it is well suited for the hall or bedroom. Sandblasting is applied on special equipment according to the selected sketch. The plot is flowers, patterns, landscapes, animals. When equipped with a children's locker, a funny image is chosen;
  • stained glass decoration - used in the manufacture of exclusive models. The master collects the stained glass material manually from colored glass, so the cost of the product will be higher than that of standard models on order. Stained-glass windows look spectacular in the interior of a classic hall, bedroom, retro design, Empire style, Renaissance, Rococo. Multi-colored glass in the cabinets carry a special atmosphere of chic, wealth, wealth;
  • use of photo printing - for the plot, choose a photo that the master transfers on an enlarged scale to the filling panel of the built-in wardrobe. Photographs of finished models demonstrate how spectacularly the sash looks in the interior of a cabinet with drawings printed using photo printing technology. You can choose interesting patterns for the nursery, halls, bedrooms. Photo printing will become the central place of interior composition;
  • filling of built-in cabinets with panels of MDF panels. This is a more modest budget option. Blank panels are often chosen in plain color. Modern panels can imitate wood texture, bright colors, include the use of white. Recessed furniture with MDF panels is appropriate to install in the hallway, complementing the door leaf with a mirror. Alternatively, such designs are built into the living room in a simple style.

The installation of the closet depends on the overall design of the room, the colors used in the interior. Combined facades are successfully combined - glass with MDF, a combination of mirror material with dull panels, sashes with sandblasted drawings and TV niches.

The design of the cabinets is diverse, you can choose a model for every taste, budget, preference.The main condition is that a compartment or an ordinary wardrobe with an active decor will become the central accent of the interior, so the furniture design should be solid, harmonious, not artsy.
