In the interior of a modern bedroom, a wardrobe is one of the main items, playing a functional and aesthetic role. Its spaciousness and ease of use should be combined with the interior of the room. How to achieve this? Let's look further.
Advantages of a sliding wardrobe: do you need it?

If you already have a sofa and still have a corner to spare, you can afford to create extended seating by adding an interesting style set or a more sophisticated setting. The fireplace is definitely one of the most clever and creative corners to decorate such niches.
Floor lamps and oversized lamps are also great for decorating isolated corners with lighting. Workplaces and play corners are also a way to fill awkward spaces with the help of special furniture. Watch the video for even more ideas.

Key Design Features
When faced with the choice of purchasing a cabinet, it is important to decide on its appearance. Each model from a wide range of varieties has its own characteristics and nuances.
General interior solution
Currently, it is customary to subdivide cabinets according to the following parameters:
By configuration (radius, rectangular, corner). According to external equipment (with mirror, plexiglass, etc.). By device (built-in or free-standing). Built-in or free-standing : choose the best.
Large mirrored cabinet for a room with a lot of space
According to their configuration, sliding wardrobes are divided into two main types:
free-standing; built-in.
Of these, built-in models are the most popular. This option is ideal if there is a niche in the bedroom.
By ordering a cabinet according to your parameters, you don’t have to worry about where to put it
By installing a built-in wardrobe in a room with a niche, we save space, make the room more harmonious, and remove all unnecessary things from view.
The advantage of such a solution will also be cost-effectiveness, because the cabinet already has three walls, the bottom is the floor, and the ceiling plays the role of the top cover.
It’s better to make the closet light if you want to put it in a small room
All that remains is to equip it, breaking it into sections and adding a sliding mechanism.
Unlike its built-in counterpart, a free-standing cabinet is a representative of cabinet furniture that has all the corresponding structural elements.

Such a cabinet is mobile: you can move it to another place, you can move with it to another apartment.
Typical dimensions of corner cabinets - with approximate contents
The contents of a corner cabinet directly depend on the size and shape of the cabinet. These parameters are determined by the needs of the user, the purpose of the room and its area.
L-shaped
The simplest form and the most popular among users. Each wall is adjacent to a straight section, and the corner is filled with either a five-wall module with shelves, or this area serves as compartments for storing things on hangers. Unlike their triangular counterparts, L-shaped ones make better use of room space and provide better access to the contents of the sections.
The walls of the structure can be the same or different, with the minimum, as a rule, about one meter, and the maximum - up to 2-2.5 m, depending on the layout. The depth is usually standard - 50-60 cm.
Examples of filling aisle cabinets in the shape of the letter g
Corner
Unlike triangular analogues, here the diagonal is adjacent to the wall on one side and to the side edge of the cabinet on the other. This option is considered more compact than the one described above, as it allows better use of space in the room. The sides of the trapezoidal structures are uneven: the smallest is about 80 cm, the largest is at least 120 cm.
The dimensions and location of the compartments depend on the length of the walls and practically coincide with the dimensions of triangular and diagonal cabinets.
Radial
Due to their curved shape, they are characterized by greater capacity. The doors are made convex, they follow the perimeter and slide along a sector of the circle. Radius cabinets have an unusual appearance; small corner structures with equal walls resemble shower stalls. However, there are interesting designs that combine straight and concave shapes that, when combined with the right material, produce some pretty impressive results.
The height of standard models is up to 2.5 m (minimum 1.8 m). The length of the rear walls, as a rule, is at least 1 m. The maximum dimensions are limited by the size of the room, its furniture and user preferences.
The most compact options are the L-shaped and radius layout with a concave door from the inside. With this arrangement, there is no empty space in the middle, as in convex and triangular cabinets.
Choosing a configuration: do you have space for a closet?
Even in a small bedroom you can find space for a built-in wardrobe. This is achieved by selecting a model of the desired configuration.
Many mirrors are a good solution for increasing space
Rectangular models
Rectangular models are more popular, which are convenient to install in natural niches of the room or placed along one of the walls.
Add elegance to the interior
The traditional external shape of a rectangular model can be compensated for by original decor.
We start from the general interior of the room
Corner models
Based on the availability of free space in the bedroom, an appropriate model is selected, which can be not only rectangular, but also angular.
Refreshing due to the bright design of a sakura branch
This technique allows you to functionally use literally every square centimeter of the room.
In many cases, the corner model is complemented by convenient open shelves and drawers on the sides. Despite its apparent small size, the corner cabinet is very spacious.
Sometimes drawings can continue
Radius models
What is a radius cabinet? Its difference from the corner one is that the outer part is more rounded. The unusual shape, combining smooth curves, looks very elegant and impressive.
The main thing is that everything looks harmonious
At the same time, you can influence the visual perception of space by eliminating the clear lines of the walls.
The cost of radius models is usually higher than that of rectangular and similar corner models. But their effectiveness and unusualness can become the highlight of the room.
Visually increase the space with the help of such cabinets
The space is used as rationally as possible, thanks to the design features.
Required components for the hallway
The filling of a corner cabinet in the hallway most often consists of the following components:
- Outerwear department for storing items hung on hangers.
- A section with shelves for handbags and other small items that need quick access.
- Baskets (sometimes on rails with several tiers) are a popular option for hallways.
- The shoe rack is equipped with either gratings or special fastenings.
- Drawers with or without handles.
You can also place additional hangers, space for hats, corner compartments and seats.
Sometimes in the hallway you need to plan a place for large outdoor items
Features of material selection
Modern requirements for room design allow the use of combinations of a variety of materials when creating cabinets.
Wood, MDF, chipboard - in search of a golden mean
You can rarely find cabinets made of solid wood. This is a fairly expensive material, which is considered too heavy and bulky for sliding wardrobes, although it is highly environmentally friendly.
Classic minimalism in white
In this case, chipboard and MDF become popular and more preferable. For furniture, laminated chipboard is most often used, which has the following advantages:
- affordable cost;
- wide range of colors;
- strength.
Built-in wardrobe in a niche of the room
If we compare it with MDF, we can note that chipboard is cheaper. At the same time, MDF has many advantages, including durability.
Mirrors
If the closet has doors that are as high as the ceiling, then such a large vertical plane simply needs to be used efficiently.
Stencil designs can be very diverse
When making a cabinet, mirrors are often used on the doors. This way the furniture gets additional functionality, and the bedroom gets a visual expansion of the space.
Materials for decoration
To decorate door panels, materials of different color, quality and composition are used:
- mirror inserts;
- rattan;
- bamboo;
- plastic;
- glass, etc.
The color scheme of the furniture echoes the design of the wall and the entire room
Classic with minimalism
An expensive and effective option for decorating facades is the use of stained glass windows and laser engraving on glass. A budget option is polymers (camelite and acrylic).
Devices for convenient storage
A great way to use deep corner niches. Or just store a few dozen shoes in a small space. You can easily check your inventory and choose the right model for your morning or evening outfit.
Pull-out shelf with compartments for ties and underwear.
Small accessories and underwear are conveniently placed in shallow compartments to keep everything in stock. Pull-out shelves and drawers allow you to quickly select and organize your warehouse. You don't have to rummage through boxes to find a pair of socks.
Drawer for trousers.
If you have a large collection of trousers in your wardrobe, a trouser drawer is an ideal solution as it allows you to use as little space in your wardrobe as possible. And they're easy to stick right into your hands. Some trouser hangers automatically extend when you open the closet door.
Retractable rod
Trousers take up minimal space in the wardrobe and allow you to compactly store T-shirts, suits, trousers, etc. To view items, simply pull the bar towards you and the cabinet will help you access a large amount of stored items.
Pull-out shelves for underwear
A corner cabinet allows you to make deep shelves. However, this is not always convenient. Everything left on the back wall on the shelves is lost, forgotten and wasted. There is an exit. Just pull out the shelves. In this case, the visibility of what you store will increase many times. You will always know where everything is. It's easy and practical to find what you're looking for, wherever it is.
Laundry baskets
Knitted fabrics don't like to be disturbed. Use clear containers and linen baskets to extend the life of your clothes. Order sliding models for comfortable use. In this case, any man will quickly find something deep in his wardrobe and find the right thing without the help of his wife.
For vacuum cleaner
Vacuum cleaners are also often stored in closets. All these snakes, pipes and nozzles are trying to bring the element of chaos into the ideal order that you set. So, you should allocate a place for this cleaning helper with hooks to hold its parts. Then your bedroom will be in order in every centimeter.
Shoe shelves
Usually shoes are stored at the bottom of the closet or in its drawers. However, this is not the only possible option. Take a closer look at how to conveniently arrange pairs in store cabinets. You can see them all. Doesn't take up much space. Similar wire shelves can also be attached to the walls of the cabinet. And if you have a lot of shoes and very little space, you can resort to zippered storage.
It seems that what can be said about a simple wardrobe built into the corner of the bedroom? It turns out that this topic, like a good TV series, provides food for thought in more than one article. This time we touched only on the types of corner cabinets, materials and a few tricks that make storing things convenient and practical.
Here is a current selection of photos that will show what modern corner wardrobes look like in the bedroom.
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe decor of the facade dictates the style of the bedroom
Aesthetics require careful and careful selection of the facade of the sliding wardrobe. Therefore, sliding doors can be as laconic as possible, literally merging with the walls.
When the decor of the facade obliges the whole room to be similar
When there is a lot of space, you can use a large closet
So are genuine works of art – colorful and eye-catching. In ordinary apartments, the truth lies somewhere in between these two extremes.
The style of the room determines the presence of decor. Modern and classic styles are considered the most popular now.
The main thing is not to overdo it with dark colors
For a classic bedroom, for example, decorative elements must correspond to a strict focus:
- curbs;
- frescoes;
- wooden mosaic;
- columns.
Elegance, airiness and lightness
The front of a closet for a modern bedroom can be enlivened with the following techniques:
- patterns, including floral ones, curling across mirrors;
- use of frosted glass;
- use of plexiglass;
- photo printing.
Convenient option in 2 colors
Drawing on glass will make the model more interesting and original.
Oriental patterns on facades are a common solution. But so that such a cabinet does not look alien in the interior, the rest of the furniture should also be designed in the theme of China or Japan. Which wardrobe will be the most laconic? One that is designed for a bedroom in a minimalist style.
This direction is extremely rarely chosen by a woman. Restraint of forms and clarity of lines are combined with smooth surfaces and the absence of decoration.
Cabinets adjacent to the wall or ceiling look better
Form
When choosing a wardrobe for your bedroom, you should also pay attention to its shape. Corner structures can be produced in different shapes, which can be used for small and large rooms.
If you want your bedroom to be unusual, beautiful, stylish, then modular furniture would be an excellent option. It usually has unusual shapes, which can make the interior of the room modern, unusual, and original. Modular bedrooms can be made from different pieces of furniture - small cabinets with straight or rounded lines.
Corner cabinets with the following shapes are very popular:
- rectangular - designs with straight and strict lines will be an excellent option for bedrooms in a classic style;
- radial and round products - these options have a beautiful, original look and can be used for small bedrooms;
- unusual shapes - triangular, trapezoidal, diamond-shaped. These forms will look stylish in an unusual interior - high-tech, avant-garde.

TOP 7 materials for the façade
The facade is selected taking into account the design of the bedroom and its color scheme. A lot of attention is paid to this point, since the wardrobe will take up significant space. And its facades are a large area.

What is a corner bedroom
First, we should study the photos of corner bedrooms, which are now full on the Internet. In most cases, it all comes down to the fact that one wall goes under the window, and the door is on the other.
As a result, we get two completely free walls, which will be most actively used when arranging the bedroom. In practice, things can be even more complicated if the bedroom is technically a corner room that has, for example, 2 windows.
In this case, we need to try even harder in terms of rational use of free space, because we have not yet touched on quadrature.
Many people might say that the door takes up absolutely no space, which means you can use almost the entire wall. It is both yes and no - the room can be quite small, and therefore the bed is located along the wall, and not with the headboard facing it, which is why one wall will be completely occupied by the bed and the door, while another wall will be almost completely occupied window, taking into account the size of the room.
Plus, don’t forget that not all apartments have the old layout, and people also live in private houses, and there may be either a private bathroom for your bedroom, or your entrance there, and this is also space.
From a design point of view, everything is very similar - two walls are used to place the main part of the furniture, most often these are cabinets and shelving, but the rest of the space is used for placing a bed, and, if the area allows, a workplace or a girl’s corner for personal care, you understand - the design of a corner bedroom can be different.
Shades and sizes
Neutral shades of calm colors are considered more universal. These colors will not be annoying and annoying.
Charm and sophistication of the interior
These include:
- black;
- lactic;
- brown;
- beige;
- white and others.
Equipped with such a massive piece of furniture, the room can turn into gloomy and dark.
We play with space in different ways
To prevent this from happening, it is advisable to choose light shades for facades, decor with mirrors and light patterns.
An important point to note is the size of the valves. Sliding doors that reach the ceiling should be no more than 100 - 120 cm wide.
Bright print in snow-white version
If you choose wider doors, then using them will be more difficult and inconvenient.
Types of cabinets to use in a corner
Modern cabinets for this purpose are distinguished by a variety of shapes, colors for surface painting, and two types of installation on the premises. Let's take a closer look at the last quality:
Any built-in wardrobe is manufactured on a special order basis, since for its production it is necessary to know the exact size of the area on which it will be installed.
Mass production is virtually impossible due to this nuance. These products are distinguished by their design features - they do not have a top, bottom or side part. Instead, the ceiling, floor and walls are used.
Case versions have all the features of a corner modification of the product. They can be purchased at various sales points, furniture stores, or ordered from private craftsmen or official manufacturers. Such a cabinet in the interior can become a lifeline, solving the problems we discussed above.
To ensure that you are satisfied with your purchase, it is recommended to contact craftsmen who work to order. But it’s worth paying attention to IKEA cabinets, since they are produced taking into account the correct dimensions of the corners of modern apartments.
When purchasing such a product, you don’t have to worry that it won’t fit. Although it is advisable to check everything carefully and make sure that the product is ideal for use in your home.
If you do everything correctly, then you will be able to admire your purchase for many years and use it for various purposes. All that remains is to apply the acquired knowledge in practice when purchasing the cabinet of your dreams.
Professional recommendations! Must read
Having decided on the type of construction and deciding whether you need a built-in model or a free-standing one, you move on to the next stage - deciding on the facades and internal structure of the cabinet.
To ensure that using the cabinet does not cause irritation, it is advisable to equip it with built-in lighting.
Roller skates or monorails
A modern wardrobe almost always has a roller or monorail door mechanism.
The closet is the highlight of the room and needs to stand out.
Hinged doors are a very rare option that can be found when producing custom cabinets in styles that require it. For example, classic or Provence.
The monorail mechanism, compared to the roller mechanism, is superior in reliability.
A complete and important accent of the interior
Doors equipped with such a device are reliable: they are protected from accidental sliding, and the grooves do not become clogged during use.
Turning a closet into a room decoration
Preferred materials for the videos themselves:
- Teflon coated plastic;
- uncoated plastic;
- metal.
We use it rationally and with maximum comfort
Metal is the leader in terms of service life and wear resistance. A plastic device without any coating is a cheap, but completely fragile option.
Such a mechanism will not last long. But Teflon-coated plastic is a balance of quality and price.
Bright contrasts for a good mood
Profile selection
In this matter everything is extremely simple. There are only two options:
Aluminium.Steel.
Very wide doors are inconvenient to use
It would seem that the choice is obvious - steel is better. But not everything is so simple. Let's consider and compare according to various parameters.
Capacity
Everything here is very individual. The internal structure of the cabinet, especially when it is made to order, gives free rein to imagination.
We select, but take into account the style of the room
You can organize it however you like. It should be taken into account that each section system has its own price. Why pay extra for extra devices if you don't have that much stuff?
Great emotional decision
Inside the cabinet there are shelves, rods, segments and drawers. In order for them to be convenient to use, they must fit well together.
Great cabinet that can be moved around the room
Retractable systems of drawers and shelves for shoes are very convenient.
Interesting design
In order for things to be conveniently laid out on shelves and then found, the following parameters must be met:
- distance between shelves – from 35 cm or more;
- clothes rails should be located at a height of 150 cm for coats and raincoats;
- for shirts – bar height up to 120 cm.
Wardrobe with hints of gold
The capacity of a built-in wardrobe is greater than that of a cabinet with the same dimensions.
This is explained by the waste of useful space on the side and rear walls, a larger number of fasteners and their more complex installation.
If necessary, the entire structure can be modified
Mezzanines or pantographs
Mezzanines are located at the very top and are not easy to reach without a chair or stepladder. This part is convenient for storing out-of-season clothes, blankets, pillows and other things that do not need quick access. Installing a mezzanine is not necessary, but without them, the unused space between the ceiling and the top of the cabinet will remain useless.
A pantograph is a kind of elevator to simplify access to the upper sections, which can be filled with shelves, rods or baskets. This is a worthy alternative to mezzanines; with its help you can implement modern, easy-to-use designs. However, such solutions are expensive, and cheap analogues do not last long.
Safety: what to pay attention to
When placing a wardrobe in your bedroom, it is important to make sure that it is safe for your household:
- no sharp corners;
- careful fastening of internal mechanisms;
- installation of mirrors on facades using a special adhesive film, which will prevent fragments from falling out if the mirror is accidentally broken;
- equipping the doors with an anti-jump mechanism;
- availability of a drawer closing system.
The most practical furniture is modular, which saves space
Modern wardrobes in the bedroom can be of various sizes and styles, depending on preferences and the general orientation of the interior.
Only you can decide which option to choose.
Shoe racks
Nets or shoe racks are installed at an angle in the lower part of the wardrobe located in the hallway. Storing shoes in the bedroom is quite rare, but it is also possible, for example, if they are out-of-season models. The optimal location is considered to be under the main bar with hangers.
Another option for shelves for shoes is special designs with a front part and an internal shelf. When closed, the shoe rack looks like a drawer, and access to the contents is provided by a rotating mechanism.
