Choosing a wardrobe
Today it is simply impossible to imagine the interior of a room without a wardrobe - for clothes, for linen and for small things. Such furniture is especially important for a family where a lot of bedding has accumulated - in this case, the multifunctional wardrobe is the best suited. It is easy to remove bedding from it - and blankets, pillows, and all that is necessary for a night's sleep. What models to choose a practical hostess - let's understand together.
Special features
Wardrobes for clothes and clothes - ideal for both small-sized rooms, and for a spacious bedroom. It all depends on the functionality of the cabinets.
Linen closets perfectly replace various dressers and bedside tables, as well as various wall shelves that take extra meters in the room.In cabinets with sliding doors you can store not only bed linen, but also bathrobes, towels, tablecloths. It is not recommended to store shoes, street clothes, sports equipment in such furniture.
Choosing a closet for linen, critically inspect the room where it will be located. Usually, such furniture is located in the bedroom or bathroom. For example, in the bedroom will look harmonious model with hinged doors.
If there are niches in your room, then the built-in model of the linen locker will fit perfectly into them, where you can add your underwear if you wish.
Manufacturers often offer narrow case models to customers - roll-out boxes are installed in it, and this is a considerable saving of space. The corner wardrobe is ideal for a deaf zone of the bedroom: externally, it will not even be noticeable, but most of the bedding will fit in it.
If square meters of your premises allow, choose models of canisters that take place from ceiling to floor - the volume of these models allows you not to "stuff" things into it tightly, which will allow them to air and protect them from unpleasant smell.Winter clothes, if necessary, can be packaged in special packages and neatly folded into a pair of numerous combined shelves.
Kinds
For many housewives it is important how the wardrobe will open. According to this principle, cabinets can be divided into the following types.
Classic swing
Such a cabinet will fit only in a spacious room. Many believe that such models for clothes are already out of fashion, as they take up a lot of space. However, the advantage of such a model is the absence of the need to move the panels. Usually, wardrobe cabinets for bedding and underwear are cabinet furniture, which means that they can be easily moved to another place in the room.
If this option is chosen in your bedroom, then it is usually a three- or four-wardrobes. Additional models are usually delivered to this model, where you can put the necessary sleeping accessories: underwear, nightgowns, socks and towels. If necessary, this model is equipped with various internal fillers: sections with drawers, rods for hangers and boxes.
Sliding
Sliding doors of a linen closet, of course, save space in the room.They are spectacular visually, versatile and allow you to place other furniture very close to them.
The so-called wardrobes have long gained popularity among housewives: they are easy to use, though not quite suitable for cabinets that are built into a niche. But inside there is an opportunity to arrange a huge number of options for storing various things: numerous shelves, drawers, departments for storing upper and lower clothing.
Corner
A rational solution could be a closed corner cabinet. Sometimes it is perfectly installed and door - accordion from the canvas. This significantly reduces the weight of the model, but it has a number of inconveniences: such doors do not fit tightly to the walls, but the fixings are not cheap.
For bathroom
As for the models for the bathroom, there will be very harmonious look cabinets with glass or mirror door. In such a locker, fresh towels, bathrobes, and hygiene items will feel very comfortable.
Embedded
Built-in wardrobes with glass doors will help to save space in your bedroom - it is convenient to hide blankets, pillows, and sometimes table linen in them - that is, something that you may need, not immediately, but in a certain period.
Bed linen in such products is recommended to be stored in sets - changed one, sent to the wash, take the next one from the shelf. It is the same with towels in the bathroom: it is fashionable to store them in a compact linen closet in size - large baths, for example, in the lower drawer, products smaller in another.
An important role is played by the colors of the cabinets: mostly light shades, beige, white, but some creative owners prefer black. Usually such furniture is selected under the general color scale. In bedrooms, it is recommended to install models of calmer colors: beige, under natural wood, ivory
Internal filling
The main role of the laundry cabinet is this functionality, and in our case, multifunctionality. Of course, the zealous hostess will definitely stop at the model with various shelves and separation storage systems.
Popular and lockers with drawers of different sizes, which fit not only bed linen, but also the necessary stuff: ties, socks, underwear, hats. Such boxes are also convenient because you can fold things in them by twisting the tube - this makes the retractable device more capacious.
In the role of separators can act as partitions made of cardboard.This is an excellent solution, for example, if you have a lot of seasonal underwear.
As for the shelves, pillows, winter blankets and large-sized blankets can be stored on the top and bulk ones: these products are not in demand every day, and in the required season you will always know where these sleeping accessories are.
Today, in stylish lockers, manufacturers offer to install retractable or built-in baskets - woven, plastic, stylized, they are equipped with a roller mechanism. In such baskets you can store things that do not require ironing: towels, sports or woolen clothes. Some models are equipped with a very convenient thing - retractable trouser hangers. Many owners will appreciate this option, however, the furniture in this case should be properly planned.
Convenient towel bars and separate containers for dirty and clean linen are installed in the bathroom cabinet.
Hangers for hangers can be located in the middle of the linen closet; this compartment is usually wider in size than for shelves. Today, many manufacturers instead of classical bars offer elevators (pantographs), a very convenient solution, a sort of p-shaped metal construction, which makes it possible to use the space of your cabinet more practical.Thanks to the pantograph, you can swap places, that is, move the hanging winter things, and instead arrange the summer ones.
In the lower part of such a linen closet various boxes can easily be placed, where you can store underwear, shoe boxes. For convenience, you can sign boxes with seasonal items, and then you can not worry about the order of storage.
Numerous containers and nets will help you to put your furniture in order - they perfectly save space and do not give the opportunity to “crawl” around the entire cabinet with the necessary trifles.
Choose cabinets with drawers that have holes: bedding should be ventilated so as not to get an unpleasant smell from long-term storage.
Separating storage systems
A linen closet can be not only a convenient container for your belongings, but also, if properly designed, an attractive element of a room's design. Original boxes for linen, made of cardboard, plastic, leather, burlap and metal, and baskets made of rattan or willow adequately decorate your bedroom or bathroom.
Placed in a row in the linen closet of the bedroom, they will become the perfect haven for bed linen, seasonal items. You can order them specifically for your furniture.
Manufacturers today offer such separation storage systems as grids, canvas organizers, rails, in which you can separately store seasonal items.
If your clothes locker is located in the bathroom, then you should remember some points. Given the small size of the bathroom and the huge amount of necessary things needed to be placed in the same linen closet, it should be comfortable and spacious.
For the bathroom, you can consider several types of cabinets with separating storage systems:
- suspended;
- corner;
- cabinet case.
Suspended is a very practical solution for a small room. They can be mirrored, which visually increases the room footage. Numerous shelves will collect a lot of little things and linen. Moreover, in such cabinets are installed containers for laundry - dirty and fresh. Proper baskets and laundry containers play an important role.
Interestingly, laundry baskets appeared precisely because of the need to store stale laundry, which could be washed after a certain time, and not immediately.
Do not forget that humidity is always present in this room.Devices for storing clothes in your closet should separate the dirty laundry from the clean. Moreover, stale linen is recommended to be stored no more than two days.
In the upper part of the linen closet, you can install the backlight. Storage area can be disguised lockers with mirrored doors. Many will not realize that behind a convenient mirror there is a storage area for laundry.
In the corner cabinets you can install small boxes - containers, where, in addition to clean towels and bathrobes, you can store hygiene products, cosmetics for the bathroom and separately - stained linen. Corner cabinets can be located in the upper part of the bathroom or at the bottom, next to the sink.
The case case is very multipurpose for storage of things. It can be divided into several compartments, in the bottom to put a laundry basket. This will not clutter the room.
How to make?
Equally important is how and where your linen closet is installed. In many cases, it is not just a convenient storage space for laundry and necessary things, but also a design element. If your room is small in size, do not deny yourself the convenience of purchasing a convenient closet: put it in a dark corner or outside the door.So he will not occupy a significant place, but will bring great benefits: things will be in perfect order.
In a small room linen closet can be placed in a niche, relieving the space. If you do not want to draw attention to your locker, choose neutral color cabinets. By the way, this also applies to fillers - baskets and drawers should not stand out from the general color scale, and also have a finished look.
In the case when you decide to place a linen closet in the living room or in the kitchen, pick it up for the interior of the room. And if you do not want to demonstrate its purpose, decorate with mirrors or stained glass. Otherwise, choose sections with solid doors from the material under the natural wood.
Designers recommend installing a built-in wardrobe in the living room - it fits harmoniously into any interior, and the presence of matte doors or doors with stylized patterns will look great in a room.
