The interior of the bedroom should be conducive to quiet rest and relaxation after a hard day. A lot depends on the right choice of bedroom furniture. A white wardrobe for the bedroom is exactly what you need.
White color for bedroom decoration has many advantages. It can be easily combined with any color and style, highlighting the advantages and hiding the disadvantages.
At the same time, it visually expands the space and adds air. Light furniture always adds coziness and warmth to the interior of a room.
The generally accepted fact that light-colored furniture gets dirty faster is not true. Indeed, serious dirt on it is immediately visible, however, dust that irreversibly appears on any surfaces will be absolutely invisible on a white cabinet.
Another advantage is that there is no need for additional lighting. In a room with light furniture, a few lamps are enough.
Color Features
The dimensions of the bedroom are most often small, and an interior in pastel or white colors can expand the space. It is the white color that combines with any other shade; it can be used as the main color or used to highlight the accents of the room. Photo examples will show how to decorate a bedroom in white with glossy inserts to hide imperfections in the walls and ceiling. Using white color, the room will appear larger and lighter, which is suitable for small-sized Khrushchev-era apartment buildings. People are misled by the fact that white furniture is very easily soiled and gets dirty quickly, but, nevertheless, dust on such a surface will be practically invisible compared to dark tones. A plus for a bedroom with a white wardrobe and bed will be saving on lighting fixtures, of which a few pieces will be enough.
Why choose white color for the interior:
- versatility - a plus is in combination with any texture, only the interior style will differ. It can be a classic style or modern, white color will look harmonious everywhere. The presence of additional decorative elements will not look bulky, especially if it is glossy, which will extend the life of the furniture. Light shades go well with loft, minimalism or French Provence styles, less often Scandinavian;
- sense of style - this is especially true for art deco or classic styles, in which white gloss is combined with gold or silver inserts. The houses of wealthy people are always decorated with a lot of white furniture, which emphasizes luxury. The severity and straightness of the lines distinguishes the classic style from others;
- practicality - discarding prejudices about light shades, we can say with confidence that, with proper cleaning, they are not inferior in practicality to dark furniture, since stains and dust are less visible on them;
- color combination - if the room is decorated entirely in light colors, then dark furniture can create a massive effect. If a white wardrobe is purchased for the bedroom, then the ideal option may be dark tones of the walls, which will create a contrasting background and elegance of lines. When designing the interior of a children's bedroom, bright rich shades of yellow, orange or green are used, which adds playfulness to the room;
- expansion of space - white furniture also increases the space of the room, like the walls and ceiling, the interior looks freer.
Furniture in milky or ivory color will complement the overall picture of the interior, but do not forget that you can overdo it. If you want to decorate a room in white, you need to add accents with other shades so as not to create the impression of a hospital ward.

Kinds
For the buyer of a bedroom closet, not only the color is important, but also the type and material of manufacture. Most often, cabinets are made of wood, MDF, chipboard or veneer, but preference is given to natural materials.
The types of cabinets are as follows:
- a corner cabinet will be practical for the interior; manufacturing requires more time, since the design is made to order. An excellent option for small spaces, it saves room space. A white corner wardrobe in any interior style will create a calm atmosphere in the bedroom;
- the built-in design will solve the problem of unnecessary things; it has many compartments and does not take up the free space of the room. Despite the fact that the built-in hinged wardrobe requires additional fastening structures, it is used as a dressing room;
- direct design - the only drawback of such a cabinet is the ability to install it only along the wall, otherwise it is spacious and convenient;
- The one-piece design is practical in that it can be moved to any convenient place in the apartment, for example, such as a pencil case.
After reviewing photographs of cabinets in white or dark of different designs, the most practical and elegant option is selected.

Varieties
Any wardrobes may differ in their design. The following types are distinguished.
- Built-in . Typically, such a cabinet takes up almost the entire space in which it is located. Essentially, these are shelves and compartments closed with sliding doors. The side, top, bottom and rear boundaries are the walls, ceiling and floor. This type of furniture allows you to make maximum use of the entire useful volume, hide communications, for example, sockets that are not entirely presentable in appearance.
But it also has disadvantages. Thus, a built-in wardrobe cannot be moved, and if dismantled, the owner will have to additionally decorate the freed space.
- Semi-built . In this case, one or more supporting parts are missing. For example, a wardrobe may not have a back or side wall. This design can be installed in a corner along the wall. It can also be used to simulate a missing opening or niche in the bedroom.
This type is also difficult to move, since the cabinet frame can be attached to the wall.
- Corpus . An ordinary classic cabinet that has a solid body - side walls, base and top bar - and is usually located along the wall. When zoning a room, for example, in a studio apartment, this design can be used to separate the living room and bedroom areas. In this case, the cabinet wardrobe will be across the wall. This option is good for its mobility, that is, it does not cause problems when moving or rearranging the bedroom; it can be dismantled and assembled with your own hands. But it reduces the useful volume of the bedroom, which is why it loses to built-in structures.
But the fact that it does not occupy the entire space (below the ceiling of the room, does not fit tightly against the wall behind it) can be attributed to its shortcomings.
- Corner . An instance that allows you to make good use of a corner of the bedroom, where it is rarely possible to place other interior items. However, this option is difficult to assemble, especially if the body is solid, and this will require additional expenses from the bedroom owners.
- Straight . A traditional wardrobe with a strict straight facade. Its design is simple and versatile, but it is a slightly outdated model that will not suit every bedroom style. Thus, white straight wardrobes are mainly used in classic designs.
- Radius . A modern, stylish piece that resembles a corner design, but its corner is rounded. The disadvantage is the high cost of the product, because its production requires complex mechanisms and non-standard facade doors.
Production is usually carried out only on individual orders.
- Modular . It is a structure consisting of several modules united by a common style. Allows you to change the overall architecture of the set. Such a wardrobe can be adjusted in height or supplemented with additional elements, for example, equipped with a podium, a canopy, or lighting.
Sliding wardrobes for the bedroom can be divided according to their purpose. They can be clothing, linen or combined. As a rule, linen closets inside consist of adjacent shelves for storing linen, clothing options allow you to store things hanging, and the most popular and practical combined option has both clothing and linen sections.
Rules for use in the interior
To make your bedroom an ideal place to relax and arrange your furniture comfortably, you should follow these recommendations:
- To achieve the effect of a cozy interior, not boring and original, you can achieve it with inserts of bright colors. If the room has a hinged white wardrobe and a bed, then the curtains or wallpaper should be made eye-catching, for example, chocolate or dark blue. You can dilute a boring interior completely in white tones with contrasting lamp lighting;
- for opponents of dark tones, the room can be decorated in white, but the closet, bed or table is decorated in coffee or beige shades;
- white furniture, especially glossy ones, reflects the flow of light and additional lighting fixtures are not needed. This method of interior design will save electricity, since there will be no need to turn on the light bulbs during the day;
- You can highlight a white swing wardrobe against the background of the rest of the furniture and interior by using textile wallpaper, this will create a calm ambiance for the bedroom;
- it is important to use a single design style for the entire apartment so that the transition is smooth;
- It is better to place the closet next to the bed for quick access to things;
- the built-in wardrobe can be placed close to the window so that there is more lighting;
- An option for the location of the closet could be the middle of the room in a studio apartment, to divide the space;
- a cabinet in white tones can stand along the wall, but will attract attention if there are mirror panels;
- An interesting solution would be to use an LED strip, so lighting along the entire perimeter of the cabinet will create a pleasant and soft light in the room.
The warm light of the room and a crystal chandelier, metal decorative details and beautiful curtains will create the ideal bedroom interior.
Criterias of choice
The cabinet should fit well into the overall composition, be functional and comfortable. To ensure that your purchase turns out just right, you should consider several points when choosing.
Type and size
First of all, it is important to consider the area of the room and the location of existing furniture. If there is enough space, you can purchase a massive swing wardrobe. If there is very little space, it may be better to limit yourself to a small pencil case or even a wall cabinet.
When choosing a large model for a small bedroom, it is better to give preference to a wardrobe . You can make the most of the space by choosing a corner or built-in model. In any case, before purchasing or ordering, you should take the necessary measurements to calculate the size of the product.
Style
To get a harmonious and beautiful space, it is important to choose a cabinet so that it matches other furniture in color and style.
As already mentioned, the best solution is to purchase a headset that includes the elements you need.
If the situation already exists, it is worth considering its appearance. If the furniture in the room is not white, but you want to dilute the interior with this color, you can choose a wardrobe with matching elements (for example, with inserts of the same color as the bed material). Don’t forget about the ability of gloss and mirrors to visually enlarge the space. If your bedroom is not large in size, you should use this technique.
Functionality
Think in advance about what you will store in the closet. Typically, the filling of models is classic: shelves for linen, drawers, a hanging bar and a compartment for shoes. You may not need some of these components. When ordering individually, you can create a product design according to your needs.
Quality
Having made a choice on a manufacturer, ask for customer reviews about the quality of its products. If possible, personally inspect examples of furniture in the store, evaluate the quality of the material and workmanship, and the reliability of the fastenings.
If you choose a coupe, keep in mind that the best options are those with aluminum profiles. Steel parts are less reliable.
Price
The price of the product may depend not only on the manufacturer, but also on the materials used, as well as the design of the model (presence of mirrors, photo printing, etc.).
Style and form
The strict classic style of the bedroom in combination with white furniture and golden sconces can be diluted by pillows in dark or contrasting colors. Depending on the chosen style for the bedroom, from the photo you can choose the color of the furniture, flowers for the window sills, bedside tables, wardrobe configuration, lamps, etc. Natural wood is preferable for making cabinets; for cheap options, MDF or chipboard is used. Design ideas embody white wardrobes in the French style, making them visually aged, for the Provence style.
Many decorating and finishing techniques are used by designers to make a cabinet, but it must perfectly match the style of the room. First, the type of interior is selected and the room is filled with furniture based on the photo.
A white swing wardrobe for the bedroom suits the classicism or empire style; it is slanted, decorated with carvings or gilded inserts. Manufacturers make furniture from natural solid wood, ensuring its durability. The style is characterized by smooth lines and beautiful artistic painting, and there is also wood carving.
Baroque is known for its contrasting techniques; light-colored interiors must be diluted with accents, a lamp or a dressing table. When making sliding wardrobes in a high-tech style, they should be straight or built-in, but with metal and mirror inserts.
The use of Provence or rustic style is characterized by furniture in the form of cabinets or bedside tables, beds and tables in white, but without gloss. A distinctive feature of the decor of facades is the artificially aged surface of the furniture, which can look old-fashioned. The technique of creating a coating consists of applying a special paint with small streaks. Provence is similar to the Scandinavian style of decorating with cracks and antique handles on furniture.
The Mediterranean version of the bedroom decor includes the laconic lines of the solid wood from which the furniture is made. But a wardrobe with a white glossy surface can add some flair to the bedroom. The Victorian style is rarely used, but it reflects the restraint of the interior and the modesty of the choice of pieces of furniture; the lines should be strict and there should be no decor.
A sliding or swing door mechanism in sliding wardrobes will transform the interior and give it individuality. When choosing facades, various techniques can be used:
- combination of several shades;
- inserts of glass and mirrors, so stained glass windows will add simplicity to the interior and expand the space. You can choose the color of the glass; multilayer options, simple or acrylic, look unusual.
- The use of leather inserts on furniture or beds in the interior adds chic to the room.
- A sliding wardrobe with mirrors can be decorated with a pattern with photo printing, which will give the facade uniqueness.
Hallway
White cabinet doors harmonize well with the interior of the hallway or living room. Photo printing applied to their surface serves as a wonderful decoration. Popular images include exotic flowers and exquisite landscapes.
You can hide a lot of things behind the doors. A roomy product, like a wall, extends from ceiling to floor. Guests who come to the house for the first time always have a pleasant first impression.
How to care
Most people are afraid to have white furniture because of the staining and the frequency of cleaning. Most often, cabinets made of natural solid wood are expensive, so damaging such a piece of furniture will cost a pretty penny. If you use the wrong furniture cleaning product, stains will remain that can only be removed by repainting the furniture at a dry cleaner.
It is important to remember that white furniture needs to be selected at least once every two days, but professional daily care will not take much time. A white wardrobe will look like new even after a few years if you use special cleaning products for wooden surfaces. Professional cleaning varnishes and aerosols may contain chemical additives that are used once a month, otherwise stains that are difficult to remove will remain. Removing greasy stains on your own can lead to the use of products with aggressive ingredients that will completely ruin the furniture.
The special product should be applied to white furniture in small quantities.
You can refresh the appearance of stagnant furniture using tooth powder and water. Among the folk remedies, cut onions cope well with spots that appear on a white background.
To prevent streaks or streaks, you should avoid products that contain solvents. If the bedroom closet is glossy, it is not recommended to clean it with wax polishes. It is best to wash stains on furniture with microfiber rags, and if there are no special products, then regular soap will do. After washing, the surface of the furniture should be wiped dry with a clean cloth.
Regardless of the main color of the interior, white furniture will be appropriate. When choosing a bedroom style, you need to follow the rules of color combinations and decorate the entire apartment according to the principle of smooth transitions. Caring for white surfaces does not require special skills, and it takes time just like any other furniture.
What to combine with?
The first question that we will consider in detail will be the color scheme with which white should be combined. Let's start with the colors that should be excluded - yellow and beige. Due to its similarity to white, this option will look boring, dull and monotonous.
Of course, you should not include poisonous or too bright colors. And the point is not so much the lack of combination of the overall style with a white wardrobe, but rather the inappropriateness of flashy colors in the bedroom.

Bedroom
By placing a white wardrobe in your bedroom, you can create the right accents. The bed will remain the main “character” in the bedroom. The light shade helps you fall asleep quickly and peacefully.
The sliding wardrobe remains one of the most popular pieces of furniture for the home. It looks great in any style. Such furniture is in harmony with luxurious classics and modern high-tech.
If LED lighting is built into a glossy cabinet, the room becomes cozier and warmer. It allows you to store all your things neatly, including bedding and clothes. In addition, this is a sure way to save on electricity.
Creation of individual design
A white closet in the bedroom is a blank slate for creativity. Every idea can be realized on it. The cabinet fronts are decorated with any pattern. It’s even better if you make this drawing yourself.
You can play with color. Since white color goes well with all shades, it is possible to make any accents and use bright decor. Or vice versa, sticking to pastel colors to emphasize the cleanliness and freshness of the interior.
In addition to appearance, it is important to take care of filling the cabinet. It should be roomy, functional, and comfortable. The height of the shelves is important. You need to properly design the interior of the cabinet.
