How have wardrobes changed in response to fashion demands and why are designers all over the world falling in love with them with new and even greater force?
You will learn about unusual design techniques, invisible wardrobes and other new trends in wardrobes in 2022 right now from our new review!
Today, smooth lines, thin profiles and natural shades that are pleasing to the eye have become the standard of elegance and respectability.
1. “Invisible” facades disguised as a wall. We achieve this effect with our unique ARISTO Nova system.
The thin profile lines, 5 mm thick, create a delicate frame, giving way to the attention of beautiful facades.
The hidden top guide “erases” the boundaries and the cabinet doors become a smooth continuation of the wall. This solution looks especially impressive in interiors in the style of minimalism, loft or hi-tech.
Thanks to this technique, we visually expand the space, as if freeing it from furniture.
2. Shining, glass or completely mirror facades in a thin profile. The main advantage of this technique is maximum space, airiness and lighting.
Dark, tinted glass looks great, making facades mysterious and attractive. The glossy surface of the glass softly reflects light, and the mirror reflections add volume. The composition will be ideally completed with black metal fittings.
3. Pronounced “natural” texture. The more “knots and hitches” you can see on the facade canvas, the better.
The ideal trendy combination is natural wood and marble. If you add black metal to this duo, you get an ultra-modern urban combination.
Sliding wardrobes that “speak” about the use of environmentally friendly, natural materials fit perfectly into the interior of a room of any functionality.
4. Combined facades in the “Loft” style, the front surfaces of which are made using different materials.
Monochrome, geometry, concrete are familiar features of the “urban” style. A mixture of textures and surfaces: warm, matte, cold, glossy, pleasant to the touch, smooth and rough - an excellent choice for those with strong personalities!
5. Obvious contrasts of the High-Tech style. Everything is useful, functional and breathes minimalism.
This is the world of monochrome. The best combination: rich, deep black with cool white. Alternating matte material of the door facade with strips of black metal. Such a cabinet will not leave anyone indifferent.
Along with trendy models, we create dozens of original solutions every day, focusing on your wishes and your impeccable taste!
How to choose?
When buying a wardrobe for your hallway, consider several factors. Such cabinets should have maximum internal content, especially if this is the only “pantry” in the house. Make sure there are shelves for clothes, shoes and household items.
Install both light and bright wardrobes in the bedroom. If the room is small, the best choice would be a model along part of the wall. Complete the surroundings with an elegant table, bookshelves or a cozy armchair. In large rooms, cabinets along the entire wall, as well as built-in models, look good. Glossy surfaces with patterns look beautiful.
You need to choose bright colors for your children's closet. Familiar cartoon characters or stylish patterns will appeal to any child. If the color of the room itself is light, yellow, pink, lilac, and blue tones are suitable. Darker colors will be beautifully set off by a light beige or white cabinet.
Features of accommodation
The wardrobe in the bedroom can be arranged in different ways. Popular installation options are along the entire wall and alcove. The first involves placing the structure from one corner to another. It is preferable to make such cabinets up to the ceiling, and the joint with it can be decorated with a cornice. The wardrobe becomes part of the room, so it doesn’t look bulky.
The second option is the symmetrical placement of two wardrobes, leaving space for a bed between them. A mezzanine can be installed on top. This design looks solid, so it does not weigh down the space.
A sliding wardrobe is sometimes installed against a wall in which there is a window or doorway, leaving niches for them. In the first option, a mezzanine is installed above the window, and under it - a soft bench with drawers. In the second case, the doorway deepens, but it looks like an architectural feature.
Color and pattern
There are many ways to make drawings on the door leaf:
- the most common is a pattern on a film that is used to laminate a wooden base and cover glass;
- photo printing can be applied to both glass and wooden doors;
- engraving is a method of applying a monochrome image to glass or a mirror. Using a stencil and special technologies, micro-scratches are created that create a pattern. There are diamond, laser and sandblasting engraving;
- Drawings on the mirror can be laid out with rhinestones or crystals.
There are several interior trends that can help you choose the right color and pattern:
- Scandinavian style favors white, gray, black, and shades of wood. Three or four bright accents are allowed: blue, red, green.
- Monochrome geometry. Contrasting combination of two or three colors and geometric shapes.
- Pink color. The bedroom of a young girl or the nursery of a little princess will be happy to be filled with pink in any shade.
- Minimalism is still in trend. Contrasting combinations, monochrome, wood shades. Minimum decoration, maximum simplicity.
- Combined facades - this trend is set by the manufacturers themselves. More and more options for combining textures, colors and decors are appearing on the market. You can experiment or follow tips from famous brands.

Unusual wardrobes
Typically, such products are developed by designers to order. First of all, we can talk about the shape of the cabinet. So, it can completely repeat the configuration of the wall surface (for example, a trapezoidal roof in the attic). If the facade and walls are decorated in the same style, then the cabinet becomes invisible. Another original idea is to insert a plasma panel or audio equipment into a piece of furniture. It's convenient (saves space) and stylish. Other creative solutions usually relate to the facade: you can make a colored mirror or design it in the style of cubism or animalism. It all depends on the interior design of the room and your imagination.
It’s hard to argue with the convenience and style of sliding wardrobes: they are a modern, widespread piece of furniture. In order for it to harmonize with the environment as effectively as possible and be comfortable and functional, it is enough to take a responsible approach to its choice, using the recommendations outlined above.
Options for sliding wardrobes, differing in design and facade design.
The video shows interesting solutions for placing wardrobes.
Built-in hidden wardrobe
A convenient and most fashionable solution this year is a hidden closet. It has a facade indistinguishable from the wall, and an uninitiated person will not immediately understand that in front of him is a closet. The decoration of the facade follows the interior of the room or is chosen in contrast with other decoration. Wooden or plastic panels and wallpaper are used, but most importantly, in such cabinets there are practically no seams and joints inherent in ordinary furniture. And the plane of the cabinet looks like an interesting wall. This solution allows you to organize storage of things in any room, and at the same time make it visually free from furniture. Imagine a living room in which there is a sofa, armchairs and a coffee table, and one wall is covered with wood. At first glance it may seem that this is all furniture. In fact, behind the wooden wall there is a spacious wardrobe with a lot of things. (built-in wardrobe with one door open) A built-in hidden wardrobe can only be made to order, taking into account the individual parameters of the room. Together with a designer, you can find an unusual solution and turn the closet from a utilitarian piece of furniture into part of a beautiful and furnished space.
Chipboard and MDF
The most common cabinet doors are made of chipboard and MDF. These materials can have different finishes: chipboard is usually laminated or veneered, MDF can also be used in painted form. Drawings and relief images are sometimes applied to its surface.
DPS and MDF facades are distinguished by their attractive appearance and ease of operation. Chipboard has high mechanical strength, is well preserved in conditions of variable humidity, does not fade, does not crack, and does not change its parameters due to temperature changes. This façade is easy to care for; just wipe off dust with a damp cloth. By combining chipboards of different thicknesses and different colors in one cabinet, you can create unique design projects. Facades made of chipboard and MDF are best suited to interiors in a classic style.
Features and Benefits
It is difficult to overestimate the advantages of sliding wardrobes. Combining practicality and elegance, they fit well into even small rooms. Thanks to the presence of a huge color palette, today you can purchase a model of any color. There are both single-color options and furniture in two or more colors. It’s also good that you can choose any internal filling yourself.
Sliding wardrobes are relevant everywhere, from the hallway to the children's room. And to make this element of the interior even more attractive, there are many ways. Chic sandblasting designs, photo wallpapers and photo printing, laser engraving are available to every owner today.
A wardrobe can be made beautiful even without a pattern; beautiful mirrored and glossy facades look no less majestic. And due to good lighting, the interior will only benefit - the room will visually increase in size and be brighter.
In the hall
If it is spacious enough, then it makes sense to buy a large linear wardrobe in which you can store outerwear (and not only) for all household members. This will eliminate the need to purchase separate storage systems located in different rooms. A sliding wardrobe installed in the hallway must meet certain requirements - as a rule, the design provides for:
- sections for outerwear: it is better if there are two sections - one for seasonal items, the second for those that you are not currently using;
- shoe shelves;
- mezzanines in which it is convenient to store rarely used items;
- shelves for hats located at a convenient height;
- special drawers or shelves for accessories: shoe polish, brushes, etc.;
- hooks and hangers;
- a mirror that will help you evaluate your appearance.
Internal filling
The design of a bedroom closet depends on the purpose of the room. It should have hangers, shelves for clothes and shoes, drawers for underwear and bed linen, and space for pillows and blankets.
- items that are rarely used are placed at the top;
- below – large and heavy equipment: vacuum cleaner, shoes;
- in the central part - casual clothes.
Designs with a chest of drawers for linen directly inside the closet are easy to use. This saves space and makes more efficient use of room space. In the central part, you can install a shelf for the TV if the closet is located opposite the bed. A small work space is often also built into the wardrobe.
Dimensions
Kitchen fronts made of different materials differ in thickness, weight and other parameters. This data should be studied in advance in order to take into account the size and weight when choosing fittings and closers. The following width options are available for hinged kitchen furniture facades:
- 396 mm;
- 570 mm;
- 713 mm;
- 900 mm.
The length will be 296, 396, 446, 496 or 596 mm. Retractable modules are equipped with facades with a width of 140 or 283 mm, the height is the same as for wall-hung ones. This applies to the standard size range; For structures made according to individual drawings, the dimensions can be almost any.
Thickness is also important. It is she who determines what fittings will be installed on the facade. For example, panel materials are usually standard. The thickness of MDF facades reaches 16-25 mm, but for chipboard it will be 16 or 18 mm; mortise handles cannot be mounted into this type of facade.
Designer's advice
You shouldn't skimp on mirrors. They are able to visually enlarge the space, turning a tiny hallway into a nice hall. Tinted mirrors (matte, bronze, etc.) are very beautiful. However, they are not at all suitable for dark rooms. By the way, modern mirrors for wardrobes are safe. You don't have to worry about your child hitting this mirror with a ball. For it to break, the blow must be very strong. Even if this happens, the mirror will not shatter into sharp, dangerous fragments: the protective film on the back of the mirror will hold them in place. It would be useful to equip the doors of your wardrobe with special brushes, which not only protect the contents of the cabinet from dust, but also take care of the surface of the doors. They usually cost mere pennies, but their benefits are enormous. But various lights, on the contrary, do not serve any other function except for decorative ones. Of course, a cabinet with lighting looks much more impressive. However, weak light bulbs will not help you better see what is inside the cabinet. The maximum that they can illuminate is the contents of the upper shelves. To be honest, the depressing thing is that most laminated wardrobes look like twins. However, this shortcoming is easy to correct. Currently, many companies work with so-called elite models designed to please the customer's eye. If you can’t stand wood laminate and only accept wooden furniture, you can order paneled doors finished with natural veneer of oak, cherry, walnut, beech, etc. However, you will have to pay a tidy sum for this: veneered doors can increase the cost the entire cabinet twice or even three times. But beauty requires sacrifice. A simple laminated cabinet is unlikely to be a suitable neighbor to expensive paneled doors and good wooden furniture made of oak or walnut. A less expensive option is a wardrobe with doors made of colored frosted glass. Glass doors are somewhat more expensive than mirror doors, but much cheaper than veneer doors. Companies that produce such cabinets can offer you countless options for inserts and decors. The color range is also rich. Therefore, sliding wardrobes with glass inserts fit into any interior. Can glass break? Modern technologies eliminate this possibility by 95%. In any self-respecting company, to prove this, you must demonstrate the strength of the glass by hitting it with something not very heavy. If glass does not suit you for some reason, but you like cheerful colored inserts, you can use translucent matte plastic. This usually reduces the price somewhat. Recently, wicker inserts have become popular, which look especially good in rustic-style interiors.
Wardrobe and your interior
Sliding wardrobes are ideal furniture for children's rooms, hallways and bedrooms. And sliding wardrobes, especially models with mirrors, look worst in living rooms. Never try to combine a wardrobe with fancy furniture made of natural wood with or without inlays, heavy velvet curtains, any antique items, crystal chandeliers and bronze floor lamps. The exception, perhaps, are models with veneered doors. Recently, sliding bookcases made of natural oak have appeared on sale. They look like a regular paneled cabinet, but have a more convenient door system. This is truly a great purchase!
Forms
Cabinets are made in the shape of a rectangle, semi-oval or semicircle.
Straight cabinets
A straight cabinet is the classic and most popular design in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped.
It comes in different widths and heights. The straight façade is suitable for almost any interior style; you can choose the optimal size for any room size.
Radial
The cabinet itself and its facade are made in the shape of a semicircle or semi-oval. It comes with an inner radius (concave) or an outer radius (convex). In complex structures, the outer and inner radii are combined. The result is elongated furniture with smooth shapes.
Corner wardrobe with concave facade

Radius facades look original and are irreplaceable in rooms with a non-standard layout; if you want to place furniture in a corner or niche.
Buy or order
Excellent options for facades for sliding wardrobes can be found in almost any city, be it Kyiv, Krasnodar, Moscow, Bila Tserkva or my beloved Volgograd.
There are no problems with where to purchase a ready-made cabinet. Sometimes it’s enough to go to Leroy Merlin and make your purchase.
Another option is to get a compartment with certain fronts to order. This method is initially more expensive, but it allows you to perfectly accurately select not only the content, but also the appearance, strictly according to your requirements and wishes.
If you are satisfied with ready-made offers, do not spend extra money and buy them. If you want to create something unusual, individual and unique, you will have to look for companies that produce to order, taking into account the client’s wishes, work with their drawings, sketches, etc. Not everyone is willing to do this, so be prepared.
I think we'll end here.

Materials for filling cabinet doors
The design and appearance of the doors will largely depend on what material is used to fill them.
Chipboard and MDF
Their only drawback is their inexpensive appearance, which will not attract attention. If the goal is to make the closet less flashy and bright in the interior of the room, then such materials will help with this.
Mirror
The mirror facade is suitable for any room. They visually expand the space, fill it with light and air. This is the best option for small rooms.
Mirror design in combination with chipboard panels will have a reasonable price, while a completely mirror surface will cost much more. The average thickness of the mirror is 4 mm. A protective amalgam is applied to its back side.
Glass
The following types of glass are used to make panels:
- transparent;
- tinted;
- plain;
- colored;
- smooth;
- embossed;
- mosaic.
In addition, the surfaces of all types of glass are covered with a special film that protects them from damage and makes them safe to use. The most durable is tempered glass - triplex, the cost of which is quite high.
Also very popular are types of glass such as lakomat and lacobel.
Lakobel is painted glass, for the processing of which varnish of any color is used. It is recommended to use such products when decorating an interior in a high-tech or minimalist style.
Natural materials
Natural materials for finishing doors are rattan and bamboo. Rattan is applied to MDF canvas, and it creates the effect of warmth and comfort in the room. This material is environmentally friendly and harmless.
Bamboo products are distinguished by their lightness and high degree of strength. It can have different shades: from golden to rich brown. Therefore, bamboo slabs are distinguished by their diversity.
Bamboo is suitable for decorating rooms in oriental, ethnic and eco-style. It is attached to fabric cut into strips and then attached to MDF or chipboard cabinets. This design gives the room an atmosphere of comfort and warmth.
Faux leather
Artificial leather exactly imitates natural leather, having similar properties:
- strength;
- softness;
- resistance to various influences;
- environmental friendliness.
There is a large selection of colors and shades of leatherette. The original combination is a wardrobe with leather and a mirror.
Facade materials
Sliding doors are made of glass, as well as traditional chipboard and MDF. Combined facades in different combinations are popular. The number of doors depends on the length of the cabinet and the width of the panel. Due to the optimal balance of beauty, ease of use, and budget-friendly cost of fittings, two- and three-door designs are in demand.
Chipboard is a cheap, non-waterproof material. When choosing such facades, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer, since low-quality panels can emit substances harmful to the human body, which is unacceptable for a bedroom. The colors of chipboard are traditional - wood. Laminated panels look attractive.
MDF is a high-quality material that is safe for health, but it does not tolerate elevated temperatures. Such furniture should not be placed near heating appliances. The colors of MDF are also woody.
Glass designs are also popular. Manufacturers usually use it in modern wardrobe design. For facades there are the following types: mirror, lacobel, lakomat, photo printing. Fragile surfaces are always sealed with a protective film, which keeps fragments from scattering if the panel is damaged.
- Mirror doors are an excellent solution for small, dark bedrooms. The reflective surface visually increases the space of the room and makes the large cabinet invisible. In addition, such a facade can replace a mirror, which also saves space.
- Lakobel is multi-colored painted glass. The material has a glossy, opaque surface that is easy to care for.
- Lakomat – frosted glass. Facades made of such material make the interior light and airy. This material also looks great on bookcases and china cabinets.
- Photo printing – drawing of any complexity. The compartment door consists of glass with a patterned film glued to the inside. Thanks to modern technologies, the print does not fade, even if it is constantly exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Facades with photo printing look fresh and original.
Color spectrum
There are very specific requirements for pieces of cabinet furniture. A sliding wardrobe must be durable, spacious and functional. But even a high-quality and expensive cabinet that stands out from the general color palette will ruin the entire impression of the interior.
The choice of the most “outstanding” piece of furniture should be approached with all seriousness and the choice of material, texture, and facade decor should be decided in advance. There may be several options:
- the color of the facade organically combines with the overall style of the room, creating a successful background for various decorative items;
- rich shades of surfaces and stylish design solutions allow you to make your wardrobe the most memorable element of your decor.
The easiest way is to select the necessary furniture at the initial stage of finishing work. In this case, the most accurate selection of shades is guaranteed. Mirror or glass facades are considered a universal option, ideal for any interior style.
Supporters of fashionable bad taste in the kitsch style do not have to limit the flight of their imagination. This style breaks all canons and stereotypes; it easily combines all shades of the color palette. Fans of classic interiors should take into account that the design of the facade will have to choose from three primary colors.
One of the popular solutions is to choose identical shades of the facade and flooring. If the floors in a small room are decorated with dark laminate, then the wardrobe will look like a huge spot, visually narrowing the space. In this case, decorators advise choosing only the frame to match the color of the floor, and the facade may have mirror or glass inserts.
The purpose of the room in which the sliding wardrobe is supposed to be installed has a certain influence on the choice of facade shades
In a spacious living room, the main piece of furniture is a soft sofa and armchairs; it is better to choose neutral shades of the facade that do not attract much attention. Arranging a children's room involves the use of unusual rich colors; bright facades and photo printing with images of cartoon characters are welcome.

Gray trends in facade design this year
For adherents of the Japanese style of interior design, which has not gone out of fashion for many years and is always fashionable, it is better to give preference to a wardrobe in 2022, which is made in the form of a traditional Japanese sedzi partition. This facade is made of white glass with a matte finish and wood, which is coated with dark paint.
Glossy white acrylic goes best with a mirror surface.
One of the main trends for 2022 in all areas of design is geometric patterns. When it comes to popular wardrobe decor, decorators suggest large geometric shapes made up of straight lines. There are not only discreet dull inserts, but also complex carvings in the form of ornamental stripes with geometric designs.

Designer tips
- If you decide to order a cabinet in a small kitchen and “hide” all the dishes from prying eyes, turning the room into a dining room, you can choose a “cappuccino” shade with a slight touch of faint yellowing. For rustic and provincial styles, which continue to be popular, wooden facades can be artificially “seasoned”.
- If you are installing a wardrobe in a loft-style apartment, choose cool shades of wooden facades. However, sleek veneer cabinet fronts are still installed in children's rooms, with lots of fun decorations saving the day. Here, as a rule, they are guided not by fashion, but by the child’s personal preferences and comfort.
Combined with style
Classic never goes out of fashion, which is why it is so popular in interior design. This direction is often chosen for bedroom design. The classic style wardrobe combines correct straight lines and symmetry. Wood and leather are used for decoration, and carvings and stucco are used as decoration.
Modernism in the interior is characterized by asymmetry of shapes, natural materials, plant motifs, and muted “ash” shades. A sliding wardrobe of this style is a design with facades made of textured wood or glass with a floral or stained glass pattern. A mosaic would be appropriate as decoration.
Provence turns the room into an exquisite corner of the southern province in the middle of a bustling metropolis. The style is characterized by pastel shades, natural materials, forged elements, and floral patterns. In such an interior, a white wardrobe with scuffs, patina, and decorated with carvings will look great.
Scandinavian style in the interior is characterized by simplicity, practicality, and discreet elegance. Bedroom designs use pastel shades, light or painted wood.
A wardrobe with strict lines, facades designed to look like wood or painted to match the walls of the room fits harmoniously into such an interior. The fittings should be invisible, and additional decor should not be at all appropriate.
Minimalism is characterized by strict forms, correct geometry, the use of 1-2 colors in the interior, and an abundance of reflective surfaces. The wardrobe of this style is a design with clearly defined lines. They try to make it as invisible as possible. Facades can be mirrored or glossy without decoration.
Modern sliding wardrobes: facade design, photos of contents
Nowadays, people very often began to use multifunctional wardrobes in their everyday life - compartments, instead of the old boring wardrobes. They are incomparable in that you do not buy it as a finished product, but order it the way you need it in color, size, and most importantly, it will be in harmony with your furniture already in the room. To do this, just choose the design of the wardrobe facades you like; photos of samples will help you navigate the variety of types.
Types of sliding wardrobe facades for an apartment or house
There are only a few types of such compartments, built-in and cabinet (free-standing). Cabinets are multifunctional. Their special difference from their counterparts is sliding doors; they are good because they do not require additional space to open and save you space in your rooms. Sliding systems can be of different interpretations and when combined with door filling, sliding wardrobes acquire individuality.
It is expressed by a numerous palette, as well as wooden decor of exceptional types of wood, matte and glossy surfaces.
Mirror facade is the most commonly used material.
It visually adds volume, expanding and lengthening the room. The most common mirror surfaces are bronze, graphite and silver.
Rattan and bamboo are environmentally purified raw materials.
They give a natural look and a special extraordinary style. Doors made of this material are durable.
Drawing. It can be applied using various technologies. Such as sandblasting, photo printing and stained glass.
- Sandblasting is the treatment of glass and mirror surfaces with an air-sand jet under high pressure. This application makes the glass and mirror matte. This is the most common and accessible type of processing. This surface is coated with a special solution, which helps keep the door clean longer.
- Photo printing allows you to apply a picture or photograph of any complexity to the system. There are two types of them: UV printing (ultraviolet or direct application of the image, when it is made on the surface of wood, acrylic, metal, glass) and polymer film (the image is applied to a polymer self-adhesive film, and then glued to the facade).
- Stained glass is a nanotechnology for reproducing extensive images on glass or mirror planes. Considered one of the most expensive types of external filling
The basic technologies for applying stained glass are jellied (the pattern is applied by pouring paint), film (a pattern is created from colored pieces of plastic), Tifa (soldered from parts of painted special glass). This is the most expensive type of door, but also the most beautiful and unusual.
Wardrobe design in the interior
Designs with sliding doors are used for different interiors. Very often, owners install a wardrobe in the hallway
Thus, the design of the external building - the facade - becomes an important detail of the room.
For each room, one or another facade will be appropriate. Designers advise choosing the following surfaces:
- for the bedroom – mirror, photo printing, stained glass;
- for the hallway - chipboard, rattan, bamboo, mirror, stained glass;
- for the living room - drawing, stained glass, mirror;
- for children's - chipboard, drawing.
The universal façade consists of mirror materials with varying degrees of processing and decorative elements. The photo shows sliding wardrobes, design of facades with a mirror. Such designs are appropriate for any room.
Modern furniture production often uses combined materials. For example, bamboo can be combined with a mirror or laminated facade. Such compositions add special luxury and exclusivity to the interior. When ordering furniture, you must take into account the internal contents of the wardrobe. It should be organically combined with the external doors to create a single ensemble.
