Appointment
This item was created to hide the clutter and provide each item with a permanent place. It is selected taking into account the specific needs of the person. For storing bed sets, it is convenient to use a cabinet with shelves that allow things to take their place. It can be diversified by internal shelves, and external, drawers.
The closet for linen is most often located in the bedroom. No other clothes fold into it. Bedding should not be too tight here, because then air will not circulate and an unpleasant odor may appear. If the size of the furniture allows, then you can store pillows, blankets, rugs. Items that are rarely used are stacked to the very top or bottom, and with a large depth of construction - to the farthest corner.
Varieties
The furniture market is diverse and cabinets are presented in it in a large assortment. Such designs can be:
- built-in;
- semi-built-in;
- case;
- modular
The economical option is considered to be built-in and semi-built-in cabinets, since during their installation some walls are missing. When a structure is installed in a niche, its side surfaces will be the walls of the niche, and instead of the bottom and top, the floor and ceiling can be used. Installation is carried out directly to the walls, ceiling, so in the future it will not work to rearrange the structure to another place.
A cabinet cabinet is more expensive because it contains all the walls. The model is mobile, it is possible to disassemble, translate and assemble it. Modular furniture is almost the same cabinet products, but with an incomplete interior design, which makes it possible to modify it, for example, using shelves, sections.
In shape
There are four popular forms of cabinets:
- direct (linear);
- angular;
- Radius
- rectangular.
The angular shape of the cabinet is assembled from direct modules, which are based on a corner element - a pentagon. L-shaped and P-shaped forms are obtained due to different combinations of these modules.
Radius cabinets have rounded elements, most often they have a rounded side panel and there are open shelves. By configuration, they are:
- concave;
- convex;
- waved.
With a standard apartment layout, a concave radius cupboard would be the best option.The design is very roomy, while due to the beautiful smoothing of the corners, it visually increases the space. Convex wardrobes are original models, but their placement requires a large spacious room, as they “hide” the space.
The wave-like cabinet will ideally look in large rectangular rooms. It is made the length of the entire wall and "captures" the corner with a smooth rounding.
Materials of manufacture
Furniture can be made of various materials, and moreover, from the same or combined. The main materials for the manufacture of furniture:
- Chipboard - this material has a pleasant appearance, is considered the most affordable price for any consumer. The choice of colors is huge, you can find a suitable option for any room design. However, it should be remembered that such material can be saturated with substances harmful to human health. It also does not tolerate moisture, detergents;
- MDF is a fiberboard, the production of which does not use harmful substances. It is more durable, high-quality, respectively, its price is higher;
- wood is a natural, environmentally friendly material. Furniture made from it is highly valued. Furniture design is distinguished by sophistication, style, will last for many years.
It depends on the choice of material how high-quality the cabinet will be and how long it will endure.
Accommodation
To choose the right cabinet, you need to clearly understand the function that it will perform. For example, a linen closet with shelves is suitable for storing linen. Depending on the layout, style of design of the room, the decor will be chosen.
Examples of installation design:
- a built-in wardrobe is installed in existing niches, due to which it does not “load” the space, but complements the bedroom furnishings;
- direct - placed along the wall of the room. It can have both hinged doors and sliding. The latter are considered more ergonomic, since they do not occupy excess space;
- angular - is located in a certain corner of the room, leaving the main space free.
Any model can be made in different sizes, from different materials and have a different design style. By color, the most popular is the white wardrobe. With it, you can visually expand the space, make the room brighter.
Depending on the type of structure, you can put it in the following ways:
- along the wall - any wall is suitable for installation. The main thing is that the furniture blends harmoniously into the decor of the room. When installing a swing cabinet, the approach to it must be free, and for opening the doors there should be enough free space;
- in the corner of the room - this arrangement is suitable for corner-type furniture with sliding or hinged doors. The installed design does not take up much free space in the room. At the same time, due to the "capture" of the corner, there will be a deep compartment in which it is convenient to store bedding, pillows, blankets. Also often in the design use open side shelves, which are convenient to store small souvenirs, put photos;
- in a niche - if there is a niche in the room, a built-in wardrobe with shelves is installed in it. Usually it is done without side walls; niche walls perform their role. Furniture made from measurements of a niche occupies an empty place in the room, leaving the main space free;
- wall cabinet - with a small room size, a wall cabinet is used. This allows you not to clutter up the space of the bedroom, while it turns out a functional wardrobe.
Thus, the placement of furniture depends on the size of the room, type of construction and design ideas.
Facade decoration
The cabinet placed in the room should correspond to the style and design of the room. This is done by selecting the design of the facade.Since the piece of furniture will occupy a certain part of the room, it should look attractive and organic.
When choosing a closet for linen, its facade can be decorated in the following ways:
- a combination of two colors of MDF and particleboard;
- wood or bamboo inserts - the presence of natural materials will add coziness to the atmosphere and also allow the shelves to “breathe”;
- the use of mosaic elements or stained glass;
- leather;
- photo images - the technology of applying photos to the door will create a unique facade that will cause positive emotions;
- plastic - combining plastic of different colors, you can achieve an unusual and interesting result.
The facades of swing cabinets with shelves for linen are most often deaf. However, their design also varies. For example, you can use MDF with the application of patina, MDF with milling or veneered facade.
Sizes and color
The choice of a model of furniture for linen is selected for the interior of the room. Most often, it is made to order according to individual sizes. When choosing a model, they are first determined with its dimensions: height, depth, width. It depends on how convenient it will be to use the cabinet.
Important design parameters:
- height - this parameter depends on the purpose of the cabinet. If only linen on the shelves is stored in it, then the height can be average, if it is combined and clothes will hang on it on the shoulders, then it is better to choose the maximum height;
- depth - the standard depth is in the range from 35 to 60 cm, but in individual cases it can be less. Depth is selected in accordance with the placed things. If clothes on a coat hanger are hung in a closet, then its depth should correspond to the length of the coat hanger with a small margin. Most often choose a depth of 60 cm, if you choose 40 cm, then the clothes are hung only along the back wall of the cabinet;
- width - depends on the location and size of the room. Sash width is 50 cm.
If the cabinet is placed in a niche, then its width should correspond to the width of the niche, but if it is placed along the wall, then, depending on the size of the room, you can choose the size of furniture. It should not occupy all the free space of the room.
The color of the furniture can be any, the main thing is that it is combined with the color scheme of the room. However, since the closet for clothes with shelves is most often located in the bedroom, the colors should be calm pastel colors. It is better not to choose too contrasting shades, since the room is intended for relaxation, which means that the atmosphere should be soothing.
Methods for placing shelves
The cabinet is made taking into account the user's needs. Depending on its purpose, the internal design of the furniture changes.
The cabinet can be used:
- for storage of linen - in this case it consists of shelves on which the linen is laid out. The height of the shelf depends on how much linen will fit on the shelf. For comfortable use of this piece of furniture, a height of 30 cm is sufficient, but it can be increased to 50 cm. It is possible that special baskets will be used when storing linen, so the height of the shelf should be selected taking into account additional items;
- linen and clothes - using combined wardrobes, you can store linen and clothes together. However, one must be careful when designing the interior space, since everything should comfortably enter the closet. It is convenient when there is a separate compartment behind the compartment door. Behind the wide door, there are two compartments. In addition to the compartment with shelves, there is a section with a bar, on which clothes are hung on the shoulders. Its height should be enough to accommodate long things, for example, dresses on the floor. It is convenient to use drawers for laundry.
When installing the standard plan of the swing cabinet, its equipment can be supplemented:
- drawers for linen;
- mesh baskets - clothes will not only be stored in them, but also ventilated;
- end or longitudinal hangers.
When using a swing cabinet, it must be installed in such a way that the doors can be easily opened. For a Provence-style bedroom, a hinged closet is ideal, the lower part of which will be equipped with drawers, and the upper mezzanine - with hinged doors. Decor with a golden or silver patina will complete the interior of the bedroom. For high-tech style, metal and mirror elements should be added to furniture design.
Before choosing a closet for linen, you need to decide in which room he will stand, analyze the size of the room, take into account the presence of niches. Then decide on the type of furniture. Next, it is worth considering options for the internal design so that everything you need can fit freely, based on this, calculate the location of the shelves and compartments.
The cabinet chosen taking into account all the requirements will be a convenient and stylish piece of furniture in the interior.
