Ideas for decorating the facades of sliding wardrobes.

Options for combining sliding wardrobe door facades

By design, combined facades can be divided into several groups:

1. Classic. These are solid facades made of chipboard sheets imitating wood, as well as mirror facades. They are combined in various combinations.
2. Geometric. In this case, the sliding wardrobe door facades consist of separate rectangles that can be decorated with glass, mirror or chipboard. Various combinations of finishing materials are possible here, everything depends on the designer’s idea.
3. Diagonal. Metal profiles are placed on the facade, dividing it into parts directed at an angle to each other. As in the geometric version, a combination of various materials is possible when finishing the facade.
4. Sectoral. The profiles divide the facade into separate cells, each of which is decorated in accordance with the designer’s sketches.
5. Wave. Instead of rectilinear profiles, curved ones are used, which allows dividing the facade with soft, smooth lines. This is the most expensive option to manufacture, since the profiles and the material for their filling are made individually.

Materials for filling wardrobe doors

The design of the wardrobe doors is determined not only by the principle of fastening the finishing material you have chosen, but also to a greater extent by the material that will fill the doors.

Chipboard

The most popular option due to its low price. Its main advantages are: durability, mechanical resistance, a variety of color solutions for the board, easy maintenance and safety in operation.

There is only one drawback to such wardrobe door facades – a rather modest appearance. Such a wardrobe will most likely be unnoticeable in the interior, however, many people strive for exactly this effect.

Mirror

Fully mirrored doors will cost more than those combined with chipboard. The thickness of the material is 4 mm, on the back of the mirror there is a film (amalgam) protecting against damage.

Lacquered

This is the name of frosted glass, it is frosted by etching with hydrofluoric acid. The thickness of such glass is about 4 mm. It creates a translucent effect, simultaneously hiding the contents of the cabinet and allowing you to navigate – what is where.

Lacobel

This option is quite often used in combined facades of sliding wardrobes. Lacobel is glass coated on one side with a layer of varnish, usually colored.

Decorative glass or mirror

Sandblasted patterns. Frosted glass is used for facades – various patterns are applied to it using a sandblasting machine. They can be either ready-made or made to order.

Etched mirror. The mirror can additionally have a matte pattern etched on it, such facades can become an original decoration of the interior.

Plastic

Plastic wardrobe door facades are a fairly budget option that opens up wide possibilities for combination. Plastic can be transparent, opaque or translucent, shiny or matte, and the color can be chosen from several dozen different shades.

Bamboo and rattan

Bambuca. This is a natural material suitable for decorating cabinet fronts in styles such as oriental and ethnic. Bamboo strips are glued to fabric, which is fixed on chipboard or MDF panels. These strips can be of different widths and different shades.

Rattan. This is another natural material obtained from rattan wood. The core and bark are used, intertwined in a special way and fixed on chipboard or MDF panels. Combined facades of the sliding wardrobe, made of natural materials, are especially suitable for the eco-direction in design.

Decoracrylic

An interesting material that combines the advantages of synthetic and natural materials. Between two acrylic panels, which can be either completely transparent or matte, natural elements are fixed – leaves of various trees, beautiful grasses, bamboo or coconut fibers, even shells and butterflies.

Artificial leather

The design of the doors of the wardrobe using artificial leather will make the storage system solid, such a wardrobe is especially suitable for an office or library in your apartment. Artificial leather can have different colors and textures, it is fixed on panels of chipboard or MDF.

Photo printing

Any photo of your choice is applied to the paper that is glued to the glass on the back (or to the glass itself). Usually each company has a collection of images for every taste, but you can also use your personal photo.
