A wardrobe is an essential attribute of every living room. It should fit perfectly into the interior, not create heaviness in the room, but rather emphasize all the design lines and merge with it into one whole.
Today there are many original solutions to create a modern living room. Don't be afraid of bold decisions, focus on the closet.
Place a bright wardrobe with different interpretations, let it refresh the interior and add bright notes.
Let's look at several options for modern cabinets in the living room.
Placing modern wardrobes in the living room
They are chosen taking into account the layout of the room and the arrangement of upholstered furniture. The shapes are divided into rectangular, angular and radiant varieties.
Direct
Even in a small room there is room for a two-door model. It looks compact, but is quite spacious. The side module with open shelves is convenient for storing nice little things and smoothes out the hard rectangular lines of the design.
In a spacious room, a full-wall closet will look natural. Original facades will remove the feeling of a monolithic “brick”. They can be mirrored, glass, glossy, or decorated with photo printing.
Corner
These varieties occupy the corner, most unused area of the room. There are rectangular, pentagonal and trapezoidal models.
Radial
Curved furniture looks good in an apartment with a non-standard layout. Soft lines create an unusual geometry of space. In rectangular and square rooms, radius models are also appropriate. They are usually placed in the corner, and long convex-concave ones are placed along the wall.
Modern wardrobes, depending on the characteristics of the living room and the range of things intended for storage, can have a variety of internal structures. Particular attention should be paid to planning the internal filling of the wardrobe.
The most popular option is the construction of load-bearing and partitions, horizontal shelves, and drawers made of laminated chipboard. However, filling with this material deprives the owner of the opportunity to change it if necessary without significant costs.
Today there are projects to fill wardrobes made of metal structures. In this version, there cannot be vertical walls, and horizontal elements (shelves, drawers, baskets, etc.) can be rearranged without special tools and without much effort.
Carefully consider the number and purpose of separate zones, the number of shelves or drawers, and clothes hangers in each of them. Optimal use of the entire volume.
In the project, study the relationship between the vertical walls of the internal filling and the opening of the facades in each part of the cabinet. So, with two door structures, it is advisable to divide the internal filling into two zones.
This is especially important in the presence of retractable structures. The wardrobe should be more than spacious. Convenient access to each storage area is required.
The drawers are very convenient for storing small items. They can be made from different materials. The main thing to pay attention to is the advance payment mechanism.
There are simple, inexpensive, but short-lived roller guides. When using them, the drawers have incomplete extension. Ball guides are linear bearings. They are much more reliable and provide full extension of drawers or baskets.
If the cabinet is deep enough, the hook rods (tubes) are parallel to the back wall.
It is important to consider the number and length of outerwear to be stored in this closet. For example, jackets, blazers, and shirts require a small height compartment. They can be arranged on two levels.
If the height of the cabinet is large and it is necessary to place a large number of hangers, you can use special folding pantograph rods.
For convenient storage of trousers, there are pull-out shelves for hangers. There are many practical shelves for shoes, pull-out brackets, tie hooks and much more.
If the cabinet depth is less than 60 cm, it is recommended to use pull-out hangers. The characteristics listed above significantly affect the final cost of the product.
Selection rules
The functionality of a living room wall without a wardrobe is low, because the question of storing clothes remains unanswered. The wardrobe can be placed in the living room, and it will provide the user with the maximum level of comfort if there is no place to install it in the bedroom. But what should it be? Let us describe the factors that can influence a person’s choice.
You should not choose the largest cabinet, it will be roomy, but such furniture looks bulky in a small room. An excessively small product will not be functional, since it will not allow everything a person needs to be placed inside it. Measure the room to determine the width of the cabinet needed. If this is a small figure, use the entire height of the wall. If the width is quite large, you can refuse an excessively tall product.
For a spacious room, choose furniture of any tone, for a narrow room - only light models. If the decoration on the walls is excessively bright or dark, it is better to choose a light cabinet without any special decorative elements. If the walls are plain and light, then choose original furniture with eye-catching decor.
A good wardrobe for clothes cannot be cheap, since it must last for quite a long time. Do not skimp on the quality of components; the level of functionality of cabinets and shelves depends on them.
Advantages of a wardrobe
By installing a wardrobe, you immediately solve several problems:
- The room is cleared of unnecessary chests of drawers, shelves and bedside tables.
- There is more order, because everything is in one place, conveniently arranged and hung.
- Wet cleaning needs to be done less often because there are fewer open surfaces.
In addition, the wardrobe makes the furniture elegant, laconic and stylish in a modern way.
In the living room
The most beautiful part of the cabinet front is the doors. When placing a wardrobe in the living room, we want it to become an integral part of the interior. To do this, you can make doors from frosted or corrugated glass, decorate them with stained glass or spectacular photographs. In this case, the wardrobe will not just be a place to store things, but the most striking element of the interior.
Another important feature of the living room dressing room is its internal content. There may be a built-in bar, a mini-fridge, a stereo section, bookshelves, document drawers, and a safe. And all this will be securely hidden from dust and prying eyes.
This is an ideal option for those who love compactness and hate creating a room with bedside tables, chests of drawers and sideboards.
Filling
A living room will only be functional and practical when all the interior items present in it cope with certain functions. Regarding the wardrobe, its main function is the ability to place the home owner’s varied wardrobe inside the structure.
What should you put inside your wardrobe to make it as convenient as possible, despite its tiny size? Experts recommend the following:
- if the product is used by a representative of business style clothing, it is important to provide a trouser rack, a sufficient number of hangers for shirts, and shelves for shoes;
- if the owner of the closet prefers voluminous sportswear, it is better to make shelves for storing it higher;
- To store linen and hosiery, it is worth organizing drawers: several for women, several for men. If there are children in the house, the boxes should be equipped with safe plugs that will prevent the box from falling out on the child;
- for frequently used items, the shelves are made lower, and for seasonal clothes it is better to use the highest shelves. Shoes in boxes are stored on the mezzanine, and in open form on the lower tier.
Wooden facades are fashionable
Today, the world is caught up in the wave of naturalness and the fight for an ecological lifestyle, which is completely justified, and this is reflected in the fashion for interior design. For this reason, facades with large wooden doors are at the peak of fashion and popularity.
They can be made not only from veneer, but also from simple high-quality plywood or, if the material’s capabilities allow, from natural solid wood.
Combined wardrobe model with opening and sliding doors
Very smooth facades, lined with veneer, are not very relevant for almost no reason. Gradually they gave way to a demonstratively expressed plot of a living tree.
- A large number of knots on your closet door is the most “creaky” thing in fashion today. Such a piece of furniture can be placed in any room, but if you can support the presence of a wardrobe with similar decorations and other furniture, you can safely consider that you have managed to keep up with the changing fashion in the field of interior design.
This type of wardrobe design will be preferred by practical people.
Wenge color has always been distinguished by its nobility
Advice! When choosing types of wood as a material for cladding doors, pay special attention to the light milky shade.
A beautiful wardrobe that perfectly contrasts with the entire interior
This color combination helps to create not only elegance in the room, but also comfort. It will visually refresh and enlarge your home, and the wood texture in this color is great for many interior styles.
Mirror and stained glass
Some people like wide open spaces where the entire environment is visible from almost any angle. They choose completely mirrored doors. Mirrors look great in small rooms and hallways.
If someone finds them boring, they can be replaced with stained glass windows. Stained glass windows are an exclusive work of art, so they are quite expensive, but thanks to them the room will look unusual and elegant.
You can also use frosted or grooved glass. Such a facade will look stricter and more conservative, but at the same time it will be more universal.
Sandblasting drawing
Using a jet of air and sand under high pressure, any design is applied to the glass. It looks elegant, discreet and classy. This design is suitable for those who do not like to overload the interior with bright details and appreciate unobtrusive beauty. This is also a complex and expensive technology that will cost a lot of money, but you will definitely surprise all your guests.
Photo facades
Any photo can be applied to the surface of the doors. It could be a landscape, still life, panorama or family photo. The photo facade can be glossy or matte.
Which image to choose depends on the purpose of the room, its size and your taste.
Personal photos are appropriate in the bedroom, but in a small room the view will look great. Large fruits and berries will look awkward in a small hallway or cramped bedroom.
When thinking about such options, keep in mind that the closet is one of the main elements of the interior. Will it match the new environment if you decide to repair or change the upholstered furniture?
Leather, bamboo and rattan
The latest fashion is the use of natural materials for finishing facades. It is always elegant, elegant and durable. Materials can be combined with each other.
This cabinet is universal and will match any interior. It can become the highlight of the setting, as well as its harmonious continuation. This option requires a lot. Cheap furniture and old wallpaper will look ridiculous next to it. Do not forget about it.
Combined facades
We often see that one cabinet door is made of glass and the other is made of MDF panel. The drawings are diluted with mirrors or other elements. Combined cabinets fit more easily into a non-standard interior and allow you to implement several ideas at once. In this way, you can please several family members at once by combining bamboo, photography, mirror panel and glossy plastic in an original way.
Purpose
The living room has a high level of traffic; long tea parties are held here, books are read, and family members enjoy watching interesting films. In other words, everything here should be conducive to rest and recuperation. But what if there is not enough space in the bedroom for the home owners’ personal wardrobe? You can install such a piece of furniture in the living room.
Living room furniture must certainly be functional if the room is small. The comfort of the residents of the house largely depends on this aspect. It is not enough to just have beautiful cabinets, shelves, and cabinets to make your stay in the living room as comfortable as possible. If you place a wardrobe here, in which you plan to store a fairly voluminous wardrobe of the owners without concealing additional space, then the selection of such furniture must be taken with full responsibility.
A wardrobe is a complex piece of furniture. This is a guarantee of the safety of things, shoes, and accessories of each family member. Such designs provide a person’s wardrobe with reliable protection from the negative effects of sunlight, dust, dirt, insects (provided that special products are used that are installed inside the wardrobe) and contact with the sharp claws of a domestic cat or the teeth of a dog. Even from high humidity in the living room, you can protect your clothes with the help of a wardrobe, since a closed product creates a normal microclimate for storing clothes. However, you don’t need too much free space to install a modern wardrobe. The furniture industry offers many different models that are optimal for installation in a small living room.
The correct sizes of shelves, the presence of special storage systems and the installation height of crossbars with hangers will allow you to store things without crushing them. This will significantly extend the service life of textiles, shoes, and haberdashery.
Mirrors
Yes, mirrored wardrobes are still in fashion. But not in that outdated form, with wood-look panels on both sides and a mirror in the middle. In 2022, the mirror has regained much more space. If facades have to be made from this material, then completely.
Just remember that this is terribly impractical. Beauty is beauty, but cleaning a mirror every day is a dubious pleasure. To make your life easier, you can choose sliding wardrobes with mirrored fronts, decorated with decorative grilles. This is not only more convenient, but also adds depth to the surrounding space. This technique is best used in the hallway, bedroom, on mirrored facades, and even more so it is undesirable to use it in this form.
By the way, mirrors inserted into a wooden facade look very stylish. It seems that this is a mirror in a wide baguette. A very elegant and not yet banal technique. In addition, this option looks great both with a regular mirror and with frosted glass.
The alternation of mirrors in frames with simple wooden facades will also look interesting. In this case, a matte texture is best. But you can play with the “frame”: it can be velvet or leather.

Kinds
Cabinets can be divided into several types, according to their design features. We present the main three types of the most common designs:
- built-in structures are a common type of storage for rooms where there is a niche suitable for installation. The advantage is that they are inexpensive compared to their non-built-in counterparts. The savings on materials when installing a built-in wardrobe are obvious, because you don’t have to install the back and side walls, just the facade is needed. The disadvantage of this design is that when installing the internal body kit, the walls of the room are damaged;
- modular cabinets are furniture consisting of parts, so-called modules. This means that such cabinets are not a single unit, but a multifunctional structure formed from parts. The main advantage of the product is the ability to create a set to your liking, for example, if we are talking about clothing storage, then you can add a vertical shelf with drawers to store small accessories or frequently used items, for example, small household appliances. Modular cabinets are a design that everyone used to call a furniture wall, only today this bulky detail, which previously attracted all the attention of visitors to the room, has become a stylish element, as ergonomic and compact as possible, complementing the design of the room. Modules in dark tones, for example, the color of dark oak, look great;
- cabinet cabinets are the most popular type of product in this segment of the furniture industry. This is a final finished product, assembled from sheets of fiberboard, chipboard or wood into a solid structure, which is not intended for modification or modification. Before purchasing, you should clearly understand where exactly the product will be located, since the possibility of its further successful movement is extremely small.

Straight Cabinet - The classic and most popular rectangular cabinet design
is available in a variety of widths and heights. The straight façade fits almost any interior style; you can choose the optimal size for any size room.
Radial
The cabinet itself and its facade are made in the shape of a semicircle or semi-oval. It can be with an internal (concave) or external (convex) radius. In complex designs, external and internal knitting needles are combined. The result is elongated furniture with smooth shapes.
Corner cabinet with concave front Corner cabinet with rounded front
Radial facades look original and are indispensable in rooms with a non-standard layout; if desired, furniture can be placed in a corner or niche.
Style decision
The style of decor for a living room with a wardrobe can be completely different. The main thing is that the furniture is successfully combined with the decoration of the walls, ceiling, floor, and is made in the same style and current color. Today, living room decor is increasingly being used:
- minimalism - it is characterized by a minimal amount of furniture and decorative elements on the walls. One large wardrobe should be combined with a soft sofa, coffee table, and carpet according to the color scheme. The product should not be decorated with various decorative elements, because minimalism does not tolerate such solutions;
- classic is a timeless classic trend for living room decor, which is perfect for this. Suitable for wooden wardrobes in natural shades. They can be decorated with wood carvings and laconic metal fittings;
- High-tech is a modern style, which is characterized by a large number of metal and glass surfaces. Therefore, a high-tech wardrobe can have chrome fittings, supports, and be as laconic in design as possible;
- for rural country and Provence, it is better to choose furniture with an antique effect without gloss or decorative excesses;
- For a catchy pop art look, the cabinet can be painted in an unnatural color, becoming a bright accent of the entire interior.
Living rooms with a wardrobe: a few words about functionality
The design should not only be pleasing to the eye, but also be easy to use. What you definitely shouldn’t skimp on is the sliding mechanism. High-quality fittings are the key to the durability of furniture.
Aluminum roller systems are preferred over steel ones. They will last longer. But the monorail mechanisms can withstand even heavy masses.
Choosing a wardrobe for the living room is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. But this is completely solvable. Get inspired and bring your interior ideas to life. A beautifully decorated living room will evoke positive emotions and delight you and your guests.
Modular furniture
Almost all modern design styles are based on the optimal combination of comfort and maximum practicality. Any furniture should be used in all possible variations.
One of the new products on the furniture and accessories market is modular cabinets. They do not have a solid body, but can consist of several open or closed drawers. The boxes are installed on top of each other, attached to the wall, and there may also be hanging options.
The main advantage of modular furniture is the possibility of installation in any position, in conditions of lack of square meters.
Free-standing
This type of furniture is a regular wardrobe and is easy to move. The doors comfortably slide apart in different directions.
