Small wardrobes
A comfortable wardrobe is an integral part of a comfortable apartment. His choice for a large room is not difficult, however, in the case of a smaller area, the situation is somewhat more complicated. So that the size of the room does not become an obstacle to creating proper comfort, small wardrobes were created, which fit perfectly into the interior.
Advantages and disadvantages
Small-sized furniture may raise doubts about the advisability of such a purchase, but if you choose wisely, its owners will certainly be satisfied.
The main advantages of small cabinets for clothes they can smooth out a few flaws:
- it is possible to correctly fit a small model into a room even with the most modest area;
- the cost of small furniture is several times less than its large counterparts, since much less resources are required for its manufacture, therefore such a purchase will be much more economical;

- A compact cabinet can increase the level of comfort, if you carefully consider how it will be filled and, at the request of the owners, decorated.
The disadvantages of small cabinets include their size.
Stopping your choice on such a decision should be clearly understood: too many wardrobe items cannot fit here. However, this drawback may not exist for those who do not need to put too many things into the closet of the selected apartment.
Kinds
Buying a closet requires careful attention to detail. It is necessary even before going to the store to decide where it will be placed and make all the necessary measurements.Already on the basis of the results you should choose the appropriate small one of the following cabinet:
- classical;
- closet;
- built-in;
- angular.
Classic cabinets - the most suitable option for a large room. Their main advantage is high capacity, as well as several compartments for different types of things. However, for a small room such a solution can be used if the cabinet will occupy a maximum of free space.
Wardrobes - one of the most sought-after and they justify it by many factors. Such a cabinet has comfortable sliding doors with a mirror, behind which shelves and departments for various items are hidden, ensuring good spaciousness. This furniture can be found in all different sizes, so for a small bedroom it will turn out to choose the nicest for a particular buyer.
Built in wardrobes extremely compact, so they can be a great, if not the only option for the smallest living spaces. What can confuse here is that such a cabinet will not be able to be moved from the originally chosen location. Corner cabinets, in accordance with their name, are installed in the corner.This design will really save a lot of space, making the room more spectacular and more interesting.
Sizes and shapes
The rectangular shape is a well-established classic for cabinets, and their standard sizes are 100x150x60 cm. Such parameters are only initial, and if there is a great need, you can order the size individually, getting a small or even mini-locker. If the model is linear, it is installed along the freed wall.
The highest cabinets for small-sized housing is a real salvation, since their height will allow you to maximize the use of cabinet space and accommodate as many clothes as possible.
Many buyers, departing from the classics, choose a triangular shape, which has managed to gain no less popularity. This design requires a free angle in which it will bring maximum benefit for an uncomfortable room in terms of size.
Spaciousness of such cabinets is really high, besides, in some cases it can be increased. When space is not too small, a rational solution would be to replace the direct cabinet doors with radial ones. So an area suitable for filling will expandmaking the model many times more capacious.
Materials
Usually small cabinet cabinets are made of chipboard, MDF and wood:
- Chipboard It is considered the cheapest, but also less wear-resistant material. Cabinets made of it are easily exposed to fading due to the strong light of the sun or swelling caused by excessive humidity in the room. However, these disadvantages do not make furniture from particleboard useless. These cabinets are ideal for a child's room, where over time you can make a replacement without any special damages.
- MDF has a much higher quality, but the cost of furniture from this material will be higher. Such cabinets always look extremely aesthetically pleasing, besides having a lot of decoration elements in the form of glass and chrome-plated parts. Models from MDF will be able to serve their owners a long and faithful service.
- Wood cabinets are considered elite. The tree is characterized by the greatest wear resistance, durability and beauty. Wooden cabinets breathe and do not lose the pleasant aroma of wood throughout the long years of their service. All these advantages have a correspondingly high price, therefore not everyone can afford such a luxury.
Colors
The choice of color depends solely on the preferences of the future owner of the cabinet. You can focus on the overall style of the room for which the furniture is chosen, or to make an experiment by choosing something unexpected and different from the existing tone.
You do not have to deny yourself the joy of choosing your favorite color: thanks to modern technology, you can buy a wardrobe of absolutely any color, finding the planned one or stumbling on the one you could fall in love with at first sight.
Styles
In varying degrees, all apartments have their own individual style. Each tasteful interior requires a certain selection of furniture. It is important to ensure that the cabinet correctly emphasizes the situation and does not look absolutely inappropriate:
- Classic style has a soft elegance. The case from a natural tree will perfectly fit here. Such an expensive material can be replaced by MDF, but with the presence of imitation wood. The tone is best to choose a calm.
- Hi-tech style in the modern world it is very popular and if you want to stick to it, you should pay your attention to cabinets made of MDF in white or black color, where glossy film is used as a decoration.
- For followers vintage style models with the presence of various carved monograms and pens that imitate antiquity with gilding will be interesting. No need to bypass the side and varnish, if it does not contradict preferences.
Where to put?
The type of room assignment for which a small closet is chosen is also by no means the last. The product must be in harmony with the room, without causing any inconvenience in its operation:
- In the hall it would be best to place a compact narrow cabinet, which is best placed closer to the front door. Since the corridor is usually quite dark, light shades will look good, and the presence of horizontal shelves in the closet can make it an ideal choice.
Spacious models in the corridor can simplify life, so it is there that it is desirable to free up as much space as possible under the wardrobe.
- Small cabinets to the bedroom should also have a high level of spaciousness, since most of the things are often stored here. It is important to choose the furniture with the largest number of different departments. Also very useful would be a mirror on the cabinet door.
- For living room the functionality of the locker is the least important, so you can limit yourself to the most modest size. In this type of room, he would rather play the role of decoration, so that in the first place in this case is his beautiful appearance.
- When choosing furniture in the children's room It is necessary to correctly combine the concepts of small size and maximum capacity. Outside, the locker can be childish, however, everything inside it should be just as serious as in the wardrobe of an adult bedroom: as much space and variety of shelves as possible.
How to place things?
Proper placement of things is of great importance, especially when it comes to small cabinets. It is necessary to put everything in such a way that there is enough space, the items lay comfortably, and at the time of their removal, the wardrobe remained in order.
Wanting to achieve this order, you need to know about three main areas:
- Lower Being closest to the floor, she keeps things that their owner rarely uses. Otherwise, there are shoes or, in the presence of drawers, underwear and other such things.
- Central. The middle zone is the most importantas at this level it is most convenient to store essentials. There is no better place for casual clothes and there can be both shelves and drawers.
- Top. This zone usually becomes an entresol. Its main function is the storage of seasonal items, which include knitted hats, umbrellas, gloves and other items that are not used constantly.
Beautiful options in the interior
When choosing a cabinet, it is important not to forget that it can be not only rectangular, but also angular. The second option can be ordered without any problems by determining the exact parameters, and this will significantly save not only the space in the room, but also the time for searching, nerves and strength. If you need a closet in the bedroom - let it be closer to the bed, but separated from it, for example, by a bedside table.
It is also very important to place a closet in the corridor too - it must stand so that you can get as comfortable as possible to leave the apartment and return to it.
The cabinet can also serve as a sort of division of the room. If he is in a studio apartment, it will easily become a kind of “door” between the bedroom and the kitchen area, thereby demarcating them.However, this is only an option and it all depends on the buyer and the size of his property.
