Cabinets around the doorway: ideas in the interior

For owners of small apartments, saving free space is one of the most pressing problems. If the area of ​​the apartment is quite small, then it is important to use every centimeter of living space, including the floor, walls, corners and free space above the doorway, with use.

Placing the structure with entresols near the doorway, you can not only save space, but also create a convenient area for storing many of the things you need in the household. Installation of such furniture will be an ideal solution for small apartments where it is simply necessary to free up living space.

Of course, you will not be able to purchase ready-made wardrobe for your layout in a simple furniture store, since the dimensions of the doorways vary considerably even in standard buildings of typical buildings. Therefore, such furniture will have to do yourself or go to the workshops that manufacture custom-made furniture.

But despite all the difficulties, installing a cabinet around the door will provide you with the following benefits:

Currently, many ideas have been developed for equipping built-in furniture in the interior of a child’s room, bedroom or hallway. In principle, you can use ready-made developments, but it is better to develop a convenient cabinet framing the doorway for your vital needs. At the planning stage, you can think about the color and texture of door fronts, as well as their decorative trim.

A great idea for both small and spacious rooms can be the installation of a spacious wardrobe in the space of the doorway.Such models not only perfectly save space, but also look very impressive in the interior, harmoniously merging with the wall and hiding many flaws in the layout of the rooms.

• In the kitchen, in the built-in cupboard, you can conveniently place a mini-refrigerator, dishes and other kitchen utensils, as well as jars of cereals, spices, and preparations.

You should stay on this design in the following circumstances:

• In rooms with non-standard layout (protruding niches, uneven walls and corners, etc.);
• If you want to leave the room as much as possible free space;
• Masking under the wall, if the selected design style eliminates the presence of traditional cabinets.

The color of the cabinet that is built into the doorway may not match the color of the door, but the material from which it will be made must be in harmony with the style and design of the door itself. So, installing a plastic cabinet near a good door made of natural wood is simply unacceptable.
