The sliding wardrobe becomes a modern classic. If not so long ago sliding systems were a rarity, and instead of them swing doors were more common, today the compartment occupies a leading position in the interior of houses, apartments and offices. Classic sliding wardrobes enjoy deserved popularity: they are spacious, take up little space, and the wide range of design options allows you to choose a model that fits perfectly into the interior. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the photo catalog of custom-made sliding wardrobes in the “classic” style, which can be ordered in Mr.Doors showrooms.
Manufacturing materials
The photo clearly shows that most of the classic models look as natural as possible in terms of their “origin”. Massive products made from natural wood are now quite rare, as well as from laminated boards. Such classic furniture will be excessively expensive, bulky, and costly to manufacture and maintain.
Therefore, classic cabinets made of MDF boards predominate on the furniture market. They are more practical, easier to use and more versatile in terms of combination with other materials. If you wish, you can find workshops where they will undertake to make an exclusive product from a wooden slab. Such a model will be very expensive and can only be found in an elite furniture showroom.
When it comes to decor, there are practically no boundaries. The designer can use all the most luxurious and noble materials to decorate a classic wardrobe:
- natural stone, polished or untreated;
- nacre;
- gold, silver plating;
- gypsum (for decorative elements, stucco molding);
- glass (stained glass, transparent, frosted inserts);
- mirror (darkened, colored, matte);
- leather.

Decor and accessories
Carving on facades
Inexpensive classic economy class headsets rarely boast beautiful finishes. The relief pattern applied to the facades of budget kitchens using milling is usually very simple and unpretentious. All that remains is to rely on the color and quality of imitation wood texture.
More expensive kitchen models are distinguished by more complex relief decor - motifs characteristic of the classics are carved on the facades, cornice, capitals, pilasters and columns. But in addition to the high price, such decor has one more drawback - its folds and curls will have to be wiped regularly so that kitchen residue does not settle on them.
Patina
Perhaps the most popular way of finishing classic facades is patination. A special tinting composition with a golden or silver undertone is applied to the surface of the facades, which gives them the charm of natural antiquity.
Coloring
Furniture manufacturers offer other options for additional processing of facades that will emphasize the classic mood of your kitchen. For example, they are coated with matte, less often glossy varnish or matte colored enamel, or they are painted using Decape technology, which gives the kitchen an antique look. In essence, this is double painting with abrasions: first, the surface of the door is treated with a wire brush, then painted with the main color and rubbed in places with wax. When the excess wax is removed, an additional tone is applied to the surface of the facades, and finally it is covered with a layer of varnish.
Classic style handles and fittings
The traditional choice for classics is handle-brackets or medium-sized button handles made of metal. The most popular option is artificially aged antique or satin bronze, but the range of manufacturers also includes handles in gold, copper, brass, silver, chrome and other materials.
The classic kitchen design is very impressively complemented by handles with ceramic inserts or inlaid with rock crystal crystals.
When planning a classic interior, be prepared to budget enough for handles. Classics will cost significantly more than similar models in a modern style.
Behind the classic facades of the set, modern retractable systems are hidden - baskets, cargo bottle holders, speakers, “magic corners”, mesh shelves and shelves with glass bottoms, trays and rails, retractable storage containers and built-in trash cans.
Such systems take up minimal space in kitchen cabinets, and when pulled out, provide an excellent overview of the contents and easy access to it. An excellent combination of beauty, comfort and ergonomics.
In classic kitchens, the doors of wall cabinets are rarely equipped with gas lift-type mechanisms that lift them upward. Hinged doors are still more common for classics.
Features of use
Today, in the manufacture of various models of sliding wardrobes in a classic style for an entrance hall or corridor, practically no solid wood or glued boards are used. They have been almost completely replaced by furniture products made from MDF.
In exclusive, quite expensive products or when ordering furniture, it is possible to manufacture doors for sliding wardrobes in a classic style from a wooden slab. At the same time, the same MDF board is used for the remaining body parts.
Of course, the decoration and design features depend on the purpose and location of the furniture. However, the basic principles of the classics:
- combination of strict, clearly defined lines with rich facade decoration (wooden relief carvings,
- inlays made of mother-of-pearl or natural stone, or mosaic stained glass windows from various types of wood) is preserved.
Initially, sliding wardrobes were designed to be installed in a residential area with a small area. Thanks to the use of sliding doors, the owners of the apartment did not require additional, unproductively used space, which is occupied by open wings of swing doors. Subsequently, the creative efforts of designers were aimed at increasing the functionality of this type of furniture. At the same time, some standard solutions were developed and are used today as standard:
- for the greatest rationalization of usable space and optimization of living space, it is advisable to use built-in furniture;
- furniture products with a mirror mounted on the outer surface of the sliding doors visualize an increase in the volume of the living space;
- for the bedroom of a small apartment, it is advisable to purchase multifunctional furniture samples equipped with additional built-in tables, shelving, bedside tables and drawers;
- In Khrushchev-era apartments, it is advisable to replace existing built-in niches and mezzanines with sliding wardrobes.

Kinds
Many people think that classic furniture options are quite boring and primitive. However, it is not. It is the classics that allow you to add zest to your room, fill the space with elegance and chic. Modern models have several varieties. They should be chosen based on the layout of the apartment. Let's take a closer look at these types:
Direct. Such products have an ideal classic facade that will occupy the entire wall in the room. The model is completely closed with doors. A double-leaf wardrobe can have hinged doors or sliding doors. Typically, such a product is created in strict colors using straight lines.
Built-in. These models will have a more budget-friendly price due to their design. The products do not have side or back walls. The support is the floor and ceiling
Here it is important to choose the right fittings and fastening parts, as well as choose the door design. Built-in models can perfectly decorate a small cozy bedroom or hallway
They will help to effectively save space. It is worth noting that almost any recess in the wall can be equipped as a cabinet. This will give the room a finished and stylish look.
There are also cabinets in neoclassical style. This is a modern interpretation of standard classic models. This style can fit into the most modern interiors. The main features include a color scheme in sand, gold, and white tones. The rigor and clarity of the lines also remains. The inherent advantages of neoclassicism include the fact that such a design can be created at an affordable price and in a modern style.
What you need to know before buying
Most often, cabinets are made of MDF or natural wood. The first option does not always mean poor quality. Monolithic panels from well-known manufacturers have served many people for decades. Frame ones filled with chipboard and covered with PVC film are much worse. This product may look stylish, but it wears out quickly. Keep this in mind and choose furniture only made of wood or monolithic MDF.
Before purchasing, decide on the required size and shape. The product should not be bulky or occupy more than half the room. If you have a small or medium-sized room, a corner closet would be an excellent option. It is quite functional, can accommodate a lot of things, and at the same time allows you to significantly save space.
For niches in the walls, the ideal solution is a built-in wardrobe. Its distinctive features: the absence of walls, and in some cases, a roof. All drawers, shelves and doors are attached to the walls using fittings. This product is cheaper and effectively saves space. You can fit much more things in it than in a regular closet of similar sizes.

How to design a facade
There are plenty of options for decorating cabinet fronts. They are decorated with baguettes, stained glass, frescoes, mirrors, leather elements, bamboo and rattan. Artistic carvings, bent stained glass windows, lattice layout, and natural solid wood, which are popular among designers when designing furniture, are not left out. To dilute the severity of the classical style, cornices, plinths, borders and pilasters are also used. Delicate connoisseurs of beauty and chic will appreciate decorative elements represented by inlays made from pieces of wood, brass or mother-of-pearl.
One of the decorations that has become popular lately is sandblasting. This technique, which involves exposing a stream of air with sand particles to the surface of the cabinet facade, allows you to obtain an unusual sandblasting pattern. Facades with photo printing are still in demand, the themes of which are varied - from traditional plots and ornaments to your own portrait, as well as images of superheroes and fairy-tale characters, which are so popular to decorate children's bedrooms.
Cabinets with a bronze or silver patina, with the so-called “antique” effect, look original. To do this, a special composition with a paint and varnish effect is applied to the surface of the canvas. Patinated facades, as well as a white cabinet, create an atmosphere of aristocracy.
Location
The hallway is a place that can immediately make either a negative or a positive impression. That is why the room should be light and spacious. A sliding wardrobe in the hallway is the best choice, because this furniture will not only save space, but also allow you to put away all the necessary things.
For small hallways, a good option would be a corner cabinet, which will increase the free space. Such a cabinet can be placed either at the front door or on the border with the living area.
Those who have long and large hallways are much more fortunate. Multifunctional cabinets along the entire wall will look great. You can put not only clothes and shoes there, but also household supplies; it’s worth thinking about the internal contents. There must be a place for shoes, large drawers, laundry baskets, various shelves, sections for hats.
The living room is the real center of family relaxation and receiving guests, so the arrangement of furniture should be approached with special attention. In large living rooms, cabinet and built-in models along the wall will look good
Make sure that the furniture contains shelves for souvenirs, a built-in table, and a variety of shelving. Corner and radius models are ideal for small living rooms, which should preferably be placed with the façade facing the window.
A wardrobe in a classic style will be an ideal addition to the bedroom. A corner cabinet will look great in almost any room layout. But forget about such models, if the room is long and narrow, a corner cabinet will not fit here. Designers also recommend considering the internal content, the number of shelves, open spaces and drawers. Cabinet models that fit perfectly between the wall and the bed are also suitable for the bedroom.

Sliding wardrobe in the hallway
Indentation of the first line
From the hallway, guests begin to form their first impression of the home. You can give it a decent appearance and comfort using classic furniture. In the hallway, the closet should serve the function of storing things, but not clutter up the space.
The internal structure of this furniture must be thought out in advance in order to accommodate not only outerwear, but also gloves, handbags, etc. It is desirable that such a closet consist of at least two sections: with a rod for outerwear, and with shelves and drawers.
A mirror on a sliding surface will also perform an additional function - to visually expand the space.
How to choose
Sliding wardrobes can be made of natural wood or MDF. Most often, the manufacturer of the most beautiful models of the elite class is Italy, but many nice cabinets are also made in Russia, which are not at all inferior to Italian ones in quality and appearance.
Initially, you should take a close look at the room itself in which the wardrobe will be located, and only then choose its size based on the area of the place where it will stand. The closet should be large enough to accommodate not only clothes, shoes and accessories, but also many other items that should be hidden from prying eyes. The shape of the cabinet is also very important, because depending on this point, other pieces of furniture will be arranged in the interior of the room.
The internal content is even more important than the external appearance. It should be as convenient as possible so that you can comfortably not only put things inside, but also take them out.
Classic wardrobes are equipped with shelves, drawers, special hanging rods, as well as sliding systems for even greater convenience. However, the internal components of the cabinet are chosen by the customers themselves, and they can then be changed if necessary.
You should definitely decide from the very beginning where exactly this piece of furniture will stand in order to more accurately determine not only its appearance, but also the decor and internal content. For example, a closet in the kitchen can be equipped with a display case, in the office - a shelf with books, and in the children's room - a special section for toys or other children's accessories. Thanks to additional modules, you can adapt a classic wardrobe to any room in the house so that it looks organic and beautiful.
The external decoration of the doors, as well as the additional decor of the furniture, will be determined depending on the room for which the cabinet is intended. They will give the furniture and the entire room a richer and more luxurious look.
Modern stores offer a wide range of sliding wardrobes, however, if none of the proposed options suits you, you can order the necessary and suitable piece of furniture that will please the eye and fit perfectly into the space of the room. There are three main types of sliding wardrobes, each of which is good in its own way. Which one to choose depends on the room for which the cabinet is intended, its size, as well as the location of other furniture in the interior of a given area of the apartment.
If you want to disguise a wardrobe or make it less noticeable, a wardrobe built into the wall will do. If you decorate its doors with some kind of pattern or mirror, it will become completely invisible and will look like part of the wall.
Sliding wardrobes in a classic style: built-in, corner, mirrored
Depending on the size of the room and its shape, you can choose both straight and corner models. The first option is usually used if the room is quite spacious and there is no need to save treasured square meters.
If the room has a small area (for example, in the case of installing a classic wardrobe in a narrow corridor), corner models are recommended: they take up less space, and thanks to thoughtful filling, you can place all the necessary things in them.
If the room has a storage room, it can be used for a built-in wardrobe. Classic quite often involves the use of such niches and recesses to save free space.
