For bedroom furniture, it is important to provide a location for everyday items, bedding, various trifles; outerwear and seasonal shoes are not stored in such a closet.

• hangers (hangers) on which clothes are hung and fastened to the bar;
• hooks for umbrellas, keys, bags;
• pantograph - a metal device with which the delivery of clothes to the upper compartments of the cabinets is facilitated, in addition, the design allows zoning the space on the principle of "winter summer";
• hats - create convenience when storing hats;
• nets for shoes - using this accessory, cleaning can be greatly facilitated, since dirt and dust accumulated on the shoes remain on the inner lower surface of the piece of furniture.

In built-in cabinets of an angular design, there is the most difficult zone for filling - a right angle, which is formed as a result of abutment to the walls (especially in L-shaped models).
