A good closet - a spacious closet
It's no secret that a wardrobe should not only be a stylish element of the interior of a living space, but also delight with its spaciousness and organic design.
Matching the size of your closet to the proportions of your bedroom should be a priority. Buying a huge wardrobe for the bedroom is not difficult; It’s an art to choose the ideal option based on the available space.
Varieties of forms and stylistic directions
There is a huge variety of wardrobes on sale with different finishing and decor options. And if you choose a white color for your bedroom closet, then think in advance about how it will fit into the decor of the room. Buy furniture only after you have decided on the general style of the interior.
A white wardrobe with gilding, carved details and hinged doors looks luxurious in the Empire style or classicism. Such furniture is most often made from solid wood, which guarantees a long service life. These models have a lot of carvings, painted elements, smooth lines, and gilded inserts.
Wardrobe with sliding doors
When choosing a wardrobe for your bedroom, it is important to pay attention to a very important practical aspect. This is a kind of door opening mechanism for some models (for example, a wardrobe).
The most popular bedroom wardrobes are those with sliding or folding doors.
Why? The mechanism for opening and closing the cabinet does not require additional free space. In addition, it is extremely simple and gives the cabinet a lightness.
A wardrobe with traditional hinged doors is perfect for a large, spacious bedroom. It is not necessary to use it - a built-in wardrobe in the bedroom may be much more convenient.
Facade decoration
Since the design of furniture fronts should be combined with wallpaper, curtains and bedspreads, it is worth thinking about their color design in advance.

Facades with photo printing
A film with a bright pattern and rich colors is carefully applied to the door, and the top is coated with varnish. This solution is suitable for modern interiors. By choosing a similar design, you can get aesthetic and original furniture.
Decorating the fronts of a bedroom closet with photo printing is cheaper than ordering stained glass or various decorative elements. For example, carved inserts or volumetric parts.
Facades with mirrors
In addition to expanding the functionality (you get an additional mirror), this solution carries a number of design advantages. The space visually expands, and the overall appearance of the furniture is transformed. If the reflective area is large, outfits can be tried on at full length.
Lakomat facade
This is the name of frosted glass, which is made translucent using a special technology. Things that are inside the furniture are not completely visible - only their outlines.
Bamboo facades
Bedroom wardrobes with bamboo fronts are suitable for oriental style. They are created by layering decorative strips on plywood.
Built-in wardrobe for bedroom
Choosing the right type of wardrobe for your bedroom should depend on the size of the room and its layout. You can find both free-standing and built-in wardrobes on the market.
Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. This is immediately noticeable in the photo of the closet in the bedroom.
Hull
This type includes almost all storage systems consisting of MDF sheets and panels. More bulky than a classic wardrobe due to the increased height, usually up to the ceiling.
Freestanding wardrobe for bedroom
An option that will work especially in large rooms. Typically, these models are available in various sizes. In furniture stores you can find one- or two-door wardrobes, sometimes three-door versions are also available.
The big advantage of a free-standing wardrobe is its mobility - if you are bored with the current arrangement of furniture in the bedroom, then the furniture can be moved at any time.
Modern freestanding wardrobes no longer look like heavy, massive wardrobes straight from the USSR. These are quite stylish models that contain many interesting and necessary additions. Among them, an interesting option would be a wardrobe with a mirror in the bedroom.
What material to choose a cabinet from?
In the manufacture of cabinets, materials known to everyone are used: solid wood sheets, laminated chipboards and MDF boards, laminating film. Furniture in high-tech and loft styles is made from composite materials, plastic, and aluminum frames. Each design style has its own group of materials.
Tree. Noble, highly environmentally friendly and at the same time the most expensive of all materials. A cabinet made of natural wood is heavy and looks bulky, but its service life is calculated in hundreds of years. Only solid wood is used in the manufacture of furniture.
Veneer. It is in second place after wood in terms of material quality. It is an MDF sheet covered with a thin layer of natural wood. It has high aesthetic and strength characteristics.
MDF. A high-quality material available to many, representing medium-density fiberboard. It has an almost ideal smooth surface and bends well. Resistant to steam and moisture.
Chipboard and laminated chipboard. A budget material made from small wood chips, pressed into a board and glued together using a resin composition. Laminated chipboard is a higher quality version of chipboard, with a dense laminating film on the surface.
A bedroom is a room where there should be no harmful fumes, so the best furniture materials for equipping it will be environmentally friendly: wood, veneer and MDF. A cabinet made of laminated chipboard or chipboard can be placed in a passage room, for example, a hallway.
Built-in wardrobe
If a free-standing wardrobe is not suitable, then a built-in wardrobe in the bedroom can be an interesting alternative. It will work well not only in a bedroom with an “original” niche, but also in a room where there is no such niche. It is enough to enclose the bedroom with one wall and get a functional place for storing things. Built-in wardrobes are made to order, so you don't have to worry about non-standard room sizes. Moreover, the customer himself decides how the furniture will look.
Buying a wardrobe for your bedroom can be a little challenging if you don't know what to expect from the furniture. The decision should be approached sensibly, because often a wardrobe is an investment for many years.
Appearance of wardrobes
Of course, if you have a desire, you can make your own decisions regarding the design of the product. Today there are many different variations of how exactly to design facades. There may be ordinary versions of mirrors along with luxury finishes, quite expensive, made of leather. Accordingly, you should choose facades based on the overall interior of the room, so that everything is as harmonious as possible.
Important Details
Details can change the appearance of the cabinet and how it matches the interior. Despite the fact that currently one of the leading trends in interior design is the most simple furniture against a background of light walls (popular Scandinavian style), details can add a gentle, individual “color”.
What design elements of a bedroom closet should you pay attention to?
- Furniture handles. They should be not only functional, but also beautiful. Do they match the color and style of the entire bedroom? For a lasting visual impact, the silver or gold color of the handles should also be present in other details, such as a bedside lamp, a mirror frame or a curtain rod hanging over a window. It is worth paying attention not only to the color, but also to the finish: whether it is shiny or matte is also important for the final character of the bedroom. Generally, a matte finish gives furniture a more modern look, while a glossy finish is suitable for traditional bedrooms. There are also handles in wood and other colors, such as black, which are mainly suitable for minimalist and industrial interiors.
A good solution for a bedroom in Art Deco, retro or vintage style would be handles that resemble jewelry. It is worth accurately determining the style of the bedroom and considering the best option for furniture handles.
If the stylistic concept changes over time, it is the replacement of handles that can easily give a wardrobe a second life.
- Legs. When choosing a wardrobe, starting with support is a way to add lightness to the interior. Different types of legs can make furniture slimmer and give it charm. It is worth consistently choosing a bed with a frame raised on legs - the furniture will look uniform, neat and elegant. Legs are an easy way to indicate Provençal, English or Scandinavian style. They fit perfectly into small interiors. They are also practical - they make cleaning under furniture easier. As in the case of handles, the best effect will be achieved when choosing furniture with similar legs (and if you buy a set of furniture, then the same) in color and height.
- Carved/decorated furniture corners. Although these are not the most popular styles in interior design at the moment, they have their loyal fans. They are suitable for interiors in Baroque or Art Deco style.
Patterned design
We are talking about sandblasting printing, which is obtained by processing glass products. A stencil with the existing pattern is applied to the glass, then it is processed under pressure using quartz sand using air. As a result, when the stencil is removed, the part of the glass underneath remains unchanged, and the processed part turns out to be matte.
As for stencil designs, they can be very diverse:
- Japanese calligraphy
- Abstraction of all possible options
- Various flowers
- Drawings on a specific topic
- Various options for children's drawings
As for directly matte design methods, these can be basic, as well as drawings.
Choosing a cabinet is an important process
The furniture market offers a huge range of cabinet models. Such diversity can make you dizzy.
Buying the perfect wardrobe for your bedroom is not easy, but it is quite possible! However, this requires immersion in the topic and patience.
Needs and opportunities (financial and related to bedroom size) will help narrow down your search. They should be used from the very beginning - it will save a lot of time.
Complete bedroom set
Such furniture is installed on the sides of the bed, or separate cabinets are placed in different parts of the room. The wardrobe is usually placed opposite the bed. It stores home knitwear, bed linen and other textiles.
Wardrobes are suitable exclusively for storing clothes and shoes. They occupy the entire wall space - from floor to ceiling. Some dressing rooms can be compared in size to a full-fledged pantry. It is important to think through the filling of the closet in such a way that hangers, shelves, organizers, and drawers can be neatly placed.
