Features of the choice of a case case
The original solution to the design of furniture designers have embodied in the wardrobe, where the vertical size exceeds the horizontal parameters. It has become an indispensable find where the area of the room does not allow placing traditional models, but there is a need for this. The case is combined with other interior items, creating interesting composite solutions. Do not forget about the practical side - with a minimally occupied area, its capacity is much more than that of classic counterparts.
What it is?
The closet case is a high, but small in depth design used for storing linen, clothing or household items.There is a linen module, a cupboard for dishes, an option for storing shoes and clothes, a case for dishes and household items. Such models can be placed in living rooms or bedrooms, in the kitchen or in the bathroom, in the hallway or living room. For different purposes of use they will be made with their own characteristics.
There are options when the case consists of several separate modules, which are placed one on top of another vertically, fastening together with ties.
Classic models of narrow canisters consist of one large section or are divided into several components. and may contain:
- clothes bar;
- horizontal shelves;
- drawers;
- boxes with offices.
For, so that the floor structure does not accidentally overturn, it is attached to the wall, because the narrower and higher the column, the less stable it is. There are options for suspension speakers that are not in contact with the floor. The cabinet can be with a mirror on the front panel, single or double door, with a deaf front part or with an interesting design, glazing is possible - it all depends on the functions for which it is intended.

Kinds
Design solutions cabinets-cases amaze with a variety. For any purpose you can find a functional option. It can be both a standalone product, and an integral part of a modular complex:
- Corner cabinet: consists of a front part and two side walls, assembled at an angle of 90 degrees, put it in the corner of the room.

The choice of model of the cabinet largely depends on the dimensions of the room, its interior design, and also takes into account the functional load for which it will be used.
Materials
By function, cabinets can be divided into universal and specialized models. Universal types are used in the decoration of living rooms, and specialized types - in the bathroom or in the kitchen, where prevails high humidity and temperature changes.As the main material for the manufacture of canisters is an array of wood of coniferous or hardwood, or wood products.
Let's characterize other materials:
- Natural wood: Deciduous trees such as aspen, linden, oak, alder, beech, Karelian birch, ash, walnut are especially valued for furniture. Lower value in spruce and pine. The natural pattern of wood texture when sawing looks very impressive and expensive, the most prestigious experts consider wenge;
- Wood products: These are furniture boards made from solid wood waste. As a rule, they all have an artificial lamination layer imitating a woody textured saw cut. Lamination creates the effect of protecting furniture furniture, giving it smoothness and shine. For the production of used carpentry glued board, lamellar shield, laminated wood laminated plate, chipboard, fiberboard;
- Polymer plastic: Acrylic is most often used, it is durable, convenient for processing with detergents, it stably preserves colors and shine, is scratch resistant, and is not afraid of moisture. It is used in products intended for the bathroom and kitchen;
- Metal: use light alloys of aluminum as a facade finish and decoration elements for kitchen furniture and bathrooms.
Furniture products from solid wood are valued much higher than analogues made from wood waste. Natural material will last more than a decade, retaining its original properties even after restoration work. Such products do not emit toxic substances during operation, most often their decoration is skillful carving.
Cabinets with plastic, metal or tempered glass are cheaper, but no less practical and convenient.
Dimensions
Designer find furniture makers - cabinet-case involves a variety of sizes of finished products.
It is considered the most demanded width of 50 cm - this is the standard size for storing bed linen and dishes. Only not always such dimensions may be appropriate in small areas. If a nonstandard version is required, then a model with a width of 40 or even 35 cm can become the narrowest cabinet. Of course, this slightly limits the functionality, but if you divide it into several vertically opening sections,then the ways of storing items are greatly expanded.
The height of the box plays a significant role in the overall appearance of the structure. How harmonious this parameter will fit into the interior will be the overall impression not only of the furniture itself, but also of the overall design of the room as a whole. The finished composition looks objects of the same height, but it is different. Low models of canisters are up to 1.80 meters, and high analogues reach up to 2.5 meters.
Not the last role in the choice of the vertical size of the finished product is played by the height of the ceilings in the room.
Space in the room is extremely small, and a closet for storing things is still needed, this situation will fix the corner option. These designs make 50-80 cm across the width of the side walls, and the height varies from 1.80 to 2.5 meters. It is difficult to keep bed linen on the corner shelves, but other things can be placed there, without the risk of being crumpled.
Color solutions
How diverse are the shapes and sizes of cabinet cases, they are not so similar to each other and in color. They can be ordered in any color and design. Much depends on the material from which the construction will be made:
- If the work goes natural wood, its colors are natural and diverse - wenge, dairy oak, rustic oak, locarno apple tree, white, Italian walnut.
- White color Furniture is considered aristocratic chic. It visually makes the space wider, airier, and this interior looks solemn. Snow-white cabinets facades are often used in bathrooms, emphasizing the main idea of this room - cleanliness. White tones are in perfect harmony with metal and glass, in this color there is a huge potential for creativity;
- Black surfaces give any closet a monumental thoroughness. This interior looks restrained, with a share of official and conciseness. Rich black goes well with almost any decor, but it requires minimalist details. The most beautiful look matte surface, however, the gloss will not leave anyone indifferent. Black furniture is a challenge to originality, all its refinement is required of the designer, balancing on the verge of taste and shocking takes place here;
- Interesting furniture option nut color. It looks noble and bright, its tone is rich, dark brown with burgundy or gray subtle shade.Such colors are in harmony with almost the entire gamut in the interior, most advantageously combined with warm tones. Products with a nutty shade look soft, unobtrusive, but at the same time pay close attention to themselves. Walnut cabinet creates an atmosphere of comfort;
- Traditionally, the palm has held for many years color beech. It has its own palette of colors ranging from light to dark. Virtually any modern design beech finds its application. The feeling of naturalness, warmth and harmony occurs in a room with furniture tinted under beech.
The choice of the range of shades determines the height of the ceilings, the area of the room, the number of objects in the furniture composition. It depends on how correctly the color is chosen how easy and comfortable it will be to be surrounded by a particular interior.
Internal filling
Variants of the cabinet can be single or double. The design of the front part is decorated with a decor, or a large mirror is placed on its surface. Traditionally, the upper part of the cabinet is used for storing large-sized items that are not used in everyday life - bags, suitcases, hat boxes, seasonal shoes.In the middle are the most sought-after items or things that are convenient to consider, remove, and then clean. Down remove less demanded items.
The internal contents of the cabinet will depend on the purpose for which it is intended. It is convenient to store clothes using models with drawers, horizontal shelves, as well as with a basket built into the interior of the structure. For household items suitable boxes with shelves of different heights and boxes-dividers. It is easy to use dishware if it is placed on structural dryers or shelves, and clothes are best placed in a closet with a bar for hangers.
Particular attention should be paid to the choice of a small cabinet for clothes. It is required to measure the size of the hangers, and then add to it another couple of centimeters for the volume of clothes that will hang on them.
Accommodation features
No matter how tiny the wardrobe seems to be, it hides the space of the room. If you can not do without it, think through the location of such furniture very carefully. Particular attention when choosing a cabinet should be paid then when it has to be included in the already established interior system. It takes into account not only the dimensions of the structure, but its forms, color palette, trim details and functionality.
This task is not easy, but to facilitate it there are traditional design techniques:
- Symmetrical arrangement of two identical designs: This method creates a niche where other details of the furniture composition are added - a bed, a sofa, an imitation fireplace, an added television unit. This method is often used when you need to add wardrobes for the bedroom or living room;
- Arrangement along window or door openings: the area of the space between the wall and the window opening is symmetrical on both sides, so putting a closet-case there is considered to be a successful designer find. In this situation, a wardrobe with a corner element looks good, and this method is best used for the living room;
- Using the cabinet on one side of the opening only: this method is appropriate if the recess is located asymmetrically in the center, relative to the walls, with one side more than the other. To take such a place under the cabinet would be an expedient decision.Usually such a layout is found in the corridor, but maybe in the living room;
- Accommodation in a niche: if the design of the room has one or two niches, it will be very easy to enter the closet there, as long as the furniture is in harmony with the overall style of the room. If you remove the cupboard in a niche, even a small living room can accommodate, for example, a table or a chest of drawers. Niches are found in the hallway, where the closet-case will be a great place to store street clothes.
So that the cabinet does not contrast with the color of the interior, it is chosen similarly to the color of the walls or as close as possible to the colors of the existing furniture. It must always be remembered that high constructions are visually perceived as an architectural detail of the room, therefore, when installing a cabinet-case, there should not be a feeling of foreignness or clutter.
