Sliding wardrobe for the bedroom: styles, contents, color solutions and placement in the interior.

How to choose a sliding wardrobe for the bedroom?

• Choose the appropriate type of construction (free-standing, built-in, semi-built-in).
• Choose the mechanism for opening the sliding doors. It can be sliding (moves along guides using roller mechanisms), suspended (there are no lower guides, the sliding door moves only due to the upper rollers), or hinged (the guide system is hidden in the frame).
• For a narrow and long room, you should choose a single-leaf set or a product complemented by wide glass doors or a tinted facade.
• Do not skimp on components, mechanisms and lighting.
• When placing a sliding wardrobe in a child’s room, the most acceptable option is built-in or semicircular models that do not have sharp corners and protrusions. Such designs are mainly equipped with spacious shelves, drawers and high sections, which are perfect for toys and clothes.
• It is not advisable to install products with mirrors in a child’s bedroom; the best solution would be a sliding wardrobe with open side walls with shelves.
• A teenager’s bedroom can be decorated with a small corner model.
• Sometimes a bedroom can be located in an attic, which has several ceiling levels. In this case, a non-standard design is made to order, which allows it to fit perfectly into the space and give it even more originality.

Internal filling of the wardrobe for the bedroom

When choosing a wardrobe, first of all, plan its filling, taking into account the features of all the items that are inside. Such models are equipped with simple shelves for clothes and linen and several roomy sections for hangers. The mezzanine is perfect for storing hats or rarely used items, and the lower tier will provide space for shoes and heavy objects.

Some products are distinguished by the presence of a chest of drawers, which is intended for placing small items, clothes, etc. In order for the sliding wardrobe to accommodate all the necessary things, it is very important to think through its insides in advance.

Color of the wardrobe

The ideal solution is a light sliding wardrobe model in white, milky or beige shades, it harmoniously complements any bedroom design, gives the atmosphere an exceptional elegance, airiness, lightness and turns into a stylish and relevant element of the interior.

Designs in gray, brown or chocolate colors look no less advantageous, they are a classic interior idea and fit perfectly into a modern bedroom. You can add bright colors to the space with turquoise shades, add some romanticism to the design with lilac and coral tones, and yellow, orange or light green will significantly transform the bedroom and bring freshness to it.

A calmer and deeper design can be achieved using dark blue. Also quite often used is the classic black and white color scheme, which is an ideal contrasting duet.

Shapes and sizes

Corner wardrobes have a particularly original look, they can have a triangular, trapezoidal or any other shape. Such products take up a minimum amount of space, while accommodating quite a lot of things.

Radius wardrobes deserve special attention, which, due to the distortion of straight lines, look less voluminous and bulky. These rounded models are more spacious, functional and come in a variety of designs, such as convex, concave, oval or asymmetrical.

In a spacious bedroom, large, spacious four-door sets are often installed, which can easily be transformed into a mini-dressing room, and for small rooms in a Khrushchev-era building, narrow structures equipped with compact shelves and drawers are selected. A ceiling-high model is perfect for any size room, providing the opportunity to rationally use the entire height of the space.

How to arrange in the bedroom?

For easy access to things, the compartment model is installed near or opposite the bed, which represents the most optimal option. The structure can also be placed near a window, but in this case it should not block the opening and interfere with the penetration of natural light.

If the bedroom layout includes a niche, then a rational solution would be to install the product in a recess. This way, you can use all the space as efficiently as possible.

Wardrobe design

Due to the design of the facade, which can be catchy or, on the contrary, more laconic, it is possible to radically change the appearance of the bedroom and turn the wardrobe into the main interior element.

With a mirror on the facade

The mirror facade, due to the reflective effect, visually expands and increases the space. This design can have a silver or blue hue, have a bronze or emerald color. Quite often the surface is decorated with stencil patterns, sandblasted designs in combination with frosted glass or using the etching technique.

Doors with carved mirror look especially unusual; such an elegant design gives furniture a truly luxurious look and imparts expressiveness to the decor, making the interior beautiful and more complete.

With glossy facades

Gloss has an attractive appearance and a wide range of colors. Sliding wardrobes with such a coating look very presentable and, due to the ability to reflect the light flow, give the room additional lighting and space.

With backlight

Thanks to special external backlighting, which has low power, it is possible to achieve a rather unusual effect and a very cozy atmosphere, especially in the evening. In addition, it would also be advisable to equip the lighting inside the structure, which will provide a more convenient search for the necessary things.

With functional additions

Compartment models can have a functional addition in the form of a TV built into the door, a built-in TV stands or open side shelves. Such equipment provides a comfortable rest while watching your favorite programs.

What does a sliding wardrobe look like in different styles?

Provence suggests models made of solid wood or its budget analogue, MDF and chipboard. Sliding wardrobes are mainly made in beige, delicate turquoise or white tones, the door surface is decorated with obvious abrasions and other stylistic attributes.

For the free loft style, more massive models with mirrors or opaque glass are selected, and the Japanese style is complemented by products with various patterns in ethnic themes or designs with doors decorated with lattices or made of rattan and bamboo.

Options for zoning with a wardrobe

If it is necessary to divide the space into several functional zones, it is also possible to use this design. For example, in the form of a partition with sliding doors, which is distinguished by its particular compactness and light appearance, or a double-sided wardrobe with doors located on the front and back sides. Such a product perfectly replaces a wall and at the same time performs its main functions. Thanks to such a zoning element, it is possible to achieve a very interesting design of the room without redevelopment.
