The latest trends in interior design are a minimum of furniture, a maximum of free space. This trend was especially reflected in the design of the bedroom. Here they try to leave as little things in sight as possible. At the same time, their number is increasing. The problem of compact and discreet storage of clothes (and not only) can be solved by modern storage systems and the most popular - a wardrobe for the bedroom. It allows you to use the entire space from floor to ceiling, and the presence of a large number of shelves and drawers is convenient to place everything you need.
Advantages of choosing a wardrobe
A modern wardrobe for a bedroom has an undoubted advantage over other models due to a number of properties:
- All models produced on the furniture market have a very compact shape and size.
- Convenient doors mounted on special grooves and movable rollers.
- In most cases, facades (aka doors) are equipped with mirror panels, which allow you to quickly and conveniently get ready before going to work, walking, or shopping. In this case, a wardrobe can replace an individual boudoir and dressing table.
The cabinets of this model have sufficient capacity and are equipped with a large number of shelves and compartments for placing hangers. Modern cabinets are made from high-quality wood or chipboard panels, characterized by durability, style and design.
In addition, the advantages include the ability to choose a cabinet from an extensive collection of products in furniture stores.
Advantages
Wardrobes in the bedroom built into the wall have a number of significant advantages.
- Suitable for a room of any size - and indispensable in small rooms where you need to save space as much as possible. They can be placed in an L shape or built into a niche, and can also be designed to fit specific sizes. And if the doors are sliding, there is no need to provide additional free space for them.
- Roomy. Due to the height and depth, they can accommodate a large number of things. With proper organization of the contents, they can easily replace an entire dressing room.

Choice of colors
Any furniture can change the interior of a bedroom with parameters such as size, shape, color design. For fans of modern design trends (eco-style, minimalism, classic), you can always find wooden cabinets with a natural shade.
Furniture made from chipboard panels is in most cases decorated with veneer, PVC films with imitation of various materials, paints and acrylic varnish.
The size of the room also matters when choosing colors. For spacious bedrooms, it is optimal to choose darker colors (walnut, oak, wenge), which draw attention to themselves and highlight the details of the interior.
For miniature rooms, it is better to use light-colored surfaces: white cabinets, sand-colored finishes, creamy colors. This color scheme allows you to create the visual effect of increasing space.
Stylistics
Depending on the size, general appearance and design of the facades, the cabinet can fit into a particular interior style.
Classic
Classic. The shiforob is made from valuable wood, looks massive and bulky and is expensive. It has stable legs and protrusions on top. Hinged doors decorated with patina, carvings and forged handles with a rich pattern.
Minimalism
Minimalism. Such cabinets are also suitable for bedrooms in high-tech or loft style. They have strict forms and discreet design. Facades are made of plastic, glass, aluminum or chipboard.
Scandinavian
White solid fronts or panels with inserts are ideal for Scandinavian style. The structures can be made of wood with lacquered glass and varnish or trimmed with light leather.
Models in shades of light brown, gray or coffee will give your interior a special character. Choose models of maximum simplicity that will harmonize with the rest of the furniture.
Loft
Loft furniture is made in muted grey, brown and black colors that match the industrial character of the room.
A cabinet with a raw front made of raw wood planks, decorated with stamps, rivets, metal trim or wrought iron elements, will fit perfectly into an industrial style. An interesting idea would be to use aged elements from different materials.
French Provence
French Provence. This cabinet can be decorated with a themed pattern. Color can range from white, blue to gray. The door can be glazed or replaced with a rustic curtain. The surfaces are artificially aged, and the fittings look shabby.
Ethnic style
Ethnic. The patterns differ from each other. Made from untreated wood, rattan or imitation natural materials.
Materials for the manufacture of wardrobes
Today, cabinets of this model are manufactured in several variations:
- Made from solid wood.
- Made from chipboard panels (pressed wood chips).
Tempered glass with mirror surfaces and metal structures (for example, chrome steel) are also used to create combined models.
Wooden wardrobes for bedroom
Natural wood undoubtedly has distinct advantages over other materials. During the production process, all surfaces are pre-impregnated with antiseptic, antipyretic, moisture-resistant and antifungal compounds.
In addition, wood is an environmentally friendly material that does not emit toxins, does not cause allergic reactions, and does not contain harmful resins. All cabinets made on a wooden base are distinguished by their advantageous design and beautiful decor.
What affects the cost of a furniture product?
First of all, these are the materials from which you will choose the design, dimensions, content (in particular, the number of sections and their location), as well as the number of doors. The most expensive options are cabinets made of natural wood. MDF and PVC cost less.
Advice. It's better not to skimp on doors. After all, this is the “face” of the product and the part that is constantly in sight. The profile must be ordered from aluminum, since it is strong and durable, and also does not deform, even after time. This means that your cabinet will serve you for many years!
Also, internal filling is of great importance. After all, the better the materials, the higher the final price. If you have a limited budget, it is better to save money by making fewer accessories, rather than “worse” quality fastenings and materials.
Chipboard panels for cabinets
Panels made from pressed wood chips do not have such a beautiful natural pattern as solid wood. However, the chipboard panels themselves act as an excellent basis for subsequent decoration.
In terms of a number of properties (strength, resistance to mechanical damage, environmental performance), the material is in no way inferior to solid wood, and therefore is very often used in the production of furniture products.
Cabinets made of combined materials
Modern sliding wardrobes are distinguished not only by maximum practicality, but also by an advantageous design.
Making furniture from combined materials allows furniture manufacturers to create unique products and stylish accessories, for example, a wardrobe with a built-in mirror (mirror panels on the front of the door framed by a metal frame).
Original combinations include “wood-glass”, “metal-glass”, “wood and metal frame”.
The use of optimal combinations makes the furniture more stylish and beautiful, and pre-treatment with special solutions gives additional stability to the surfaces. An inexpensive wardrobe for the bedroom with a stylish design can be purchased at IKEA or Leroy.
How to choose cabinet colors (pro tips)
An important factor when choosing a design is the correct choice of color. The design shade will depend not only on personal preferences, but also on the size of the room, its purpose and style.
In a small room, a product in pastel colors is ideal. Light facades give the room lightness and spaciousness.
Sliding wardrobes in black and graphite colors also look very impressive. However, such colors are often chosen for spacious rooms: even with a glossy finish, dark shades make the room seem smaller.
For those who want to create a bright and extravagant interior image, a model in rich green, red, blue and other contrasting colors is suitable.
Natural wood palettes can be classified as a separate category. Dark or light brown facades add respectability and a touch of luxury. They look great both in modern styles, such as loft or minimalism, and in rustic ones, such as country or Provence.
Basic models of wardrobes
Today, the choice of cabinets in any furniture store is striking in its wide range. Manufacturers of goods, together with designers, are constantly developing and updating the catalog of furniture products, changing the shape, size, type of construction and external design.
In stores and on catalog pages you can find the following interesting options for bedroom wardrobes:
- Linear built-in wardrobe in the bedroom.
- Corner wardrobe model.
- Radial cabinet.
- Combined models with built-in mezzanines.
- Wardrobes with chests of drawers.
- Models with built-in compartments for installing a TV.
- Modular wardrobe for the bedroom.
Each of the presented models differs in purpose, selection options, shape and size. When choosing a wardrobe for a bedroom, you should definitely take into account the area of the room, the presence and location of other interior items, the general style and design features of the bedroom. A more complete range of furniture can be found in the catalog of wardrobes in the bedroom.
Choosing the color of the bedroom closet according to the style and size of the room
The choice of design color should be based on the dimensions of the room, its purpose and stylistic direction. For a spacious room, you can use furniture made of dark wood or plastic. For cramped rooms, it is better to choose sliding wardrobes in a light palette, complemented with rich contrasting inserts. A black and white palette or a combination of dark and light wood species will look good.
A sliding wardrobe can act as a bright accent in the bedroom interior
To create a stylish accent in the room, you should choose a model with bright, rich splashes. The main thing here is not to overdo it, because the bedroom is a special place designed for relaxation and relaxation. Therefore, you should not choose models of aggressive colors, such as red or orange, which will become an irritating factor for the nervous system. However, when choosing custom-made children's furniture for the bedroom, the wardrobe can be made in bright colors, which will add liveliness and playfulness to the room, making it interesting for the child.
The most current option is frame or built-in wardrobes for the bedroom in blue, yellow, pink, light green, purple, beige and other spring shades. The color of the structure should be in harmony with the palette of other furniture elements or combined with curtains, bedspreads and carpet.
Linear built-in wardrobe
A linear wardrobe is perfect for a spacious bedroom. Place it along one wall, forming a line of compartments or modules.
If there is a construction defect or a small niche of the appropriate size, the cabinet is built into the prepared space. This approach allows you to optimally save space in the bedroom, using it for other interior details.
Design options
A modern bedroom wardrobe can be:
- Separately standing. The main difference between such structures is mobility. In other words, if necessary, a free-standing wardrobe can be easily moved around the room. Disassembling it in case of moving is also not difficult.
- Built-in. The main advantages of built-in models are that they save space, fit into any interior style, and can be used as a means of zoning space.
- Partially built-in. This option is something in between the two types of furniture described above.
A winning solution is to buy a corner wardrobe for the bedroom. In furniture showrooms you can find both cabinet and built-in models.
Corner designs are ideal for small spaces as they save up to 20% of internal space.
They also have other advantages:
- Environmental friendliness of the materials used;
- Convenient door opening;
- Visual expansion of room space;
- Significant capacity;
- No danger during operation (due to the special systems and mechanisms used).
Corner wardrobe in the bedroom
Corner furniture with an L-shaped arrangement of modules always arouses interest among owners of small apartments. Such models, as a rule, have several body compartments, each of which is equipped with a door on a movable roller.
An L-shaped wardrobe is perfect for decorating a bedroom with non-standard dimensions and shape of the room.
Drawing in design
This refers to sandblasting, which is a special processing of glass products. Place a stencil (with the future design) on the mirror, and then treat it with air (under pressure, with quartz sand). After such processing, the part that was covered with the stencil will remain glossy (unchanged), the open part will be matte.
Stencil designs are different:
- Calligraphy of Japan;
- All kinds of abstraction;
- Flowers;
- Thematic drawings;
- Various children's drawings of the nursery.
And if you choose a matte design, then it can be used both as a base and as a pattern.
Wardrobe with mezzanine
Before purchasing, all bedroom wardrobes are assessed for their internal arrangement: the presence and number of shelves, internal drawers, compartments for hangers.
A more modern option, ideal for families with many children, is a wardrobe with built-in mezzanines. The presence of an add-on allows you to use additional space for storing things, old toys, and replacement sleeping sets.
In production, additional decoration of the facades of such mezzanines is used, which makes it possible to favorably emphasize the external design of the original wardrobe.
Wardrobe with built-in chest of drawers
A sliding wardrobe of this design has a classic facade, behind which several shelves and drawers are hidden. This type of construction is characterized by maximum capacity, a large number of storage systems, and very stylish facades. This can be either a traditional linear cabinet or a piece of furniture with an L-shaped arrangement of cabinets.
Decorative lighting
Traditional models have a large number of sections, storage systems and shelves. Some options may have an ironing board, desk and even a sleeping area.
These options are most often made to order.
Factory manufacturers equip the design of the wardrobe with additional lamps, LED strip or compact night lights. Agree that such details add comfort in daily use.
When choosing lighting equipment, you need to pay attention to the color spectrum and lighting temperature. To prevent an irritating environment in the room, it is recommended to choose identical spotlights.
Model with TV compartment
For a modern bedroom, it is very convenient to purchase a wardrobe, the body of which has an additional panel for installing a TV, stereo system, or home theater. The window for mounting household appliances has standard sizes for all types of screens.
When using such a design, apartment owners receive obvious advantages: convenience, compactness in the interior, maximum functionality of the purchased furniture.
Modular wardrobes
Modular furniture has a particular advantage and popularity among designers. Individual cases in the form of cabinets, open shelves and racks can be arranged at your discretion, optimally combining the cabinet with other interior details.
Modern sliding wardrobes are produced taking into account the wishes of clients and apartment owners. For this reason, today on the furniture market you can find models with built-in bookshelves and a mini-wardrobe behind a movable mirror panel.
Dimensions
For a room with a standard layout, a ready-made solution may be suitable, but most often the building is assembled for a specific order and parameters. When thinking through designs, consider the optimal values of all three dimensions.
- Width - from 70 cm, otherwise the body will be unstable.
- Depth - optimally from 45 to 60 cm, so that you can place clothes on hangers and do not have to stretch far.
- Height - from 270 cm and above (limitation - ceiling).
If the cabinet is made from floor to ceiling, then it is better to make separate doors for the upper tiers.

Modern facade decor
New furniture must be combined with other interior elements in shape, size and color design. Manufacturers of furniture products are trying to add variety to their product line by additionally decorating the facades.
The most optimal design ideas for bedroom wardrobes are:
- Fastening mirror panels. Sometimes it can be a glass panel (tempered glass) with a coating, a relief pattern, or simply a glossy surface. Photos of wardrobes with a mirror for the bedroom (catalogs from manufacturers) will help you choose the ideal option for each buyer.
- The use of special thin PVC films that imitate a wide variety of materials (brickwork, stone, wood panels or simply bright original colors).
- Stencil painting on the surface of facades.
- Veneer decoration.
After the purchase, apartment owners have the opportunity to decorate beautiful wardrobes in the bedroom themselves, using their own imagination and creativity.
Materials
The list of materials used for the manufacture of double-leaf wardrobes includes:
- Chipboard. One of the most popular options (due to its low cost). The construction of laminated chipboards will last a relatively long time. However, during operation, a small amount of formaldehyde will be released into the air.
- Fiberboard. Used for making back walls and bottoms for drawers. It has minimal strength. But it is inexpensive and has virtually no effect on the weight of the structure.
- MDF. One of the most popular materials for the facade of a wardrobe. Advantages: durability and a wide variety of colors. Cons: high cost (compared to chipboard).
- Natural wood. The most aesthetic material, it is chosen for its luxurious appearance and fragrant smell. Fits perfectly into a classic interior. But the cost of a cabinet made from natural solid wood will be quite high.

Natural wood
The facades of the wardrobe do not need to be decorated. When using MDF coated with natural veneer, the furniture will look quite attractive. The most profitable, but also the least aesthetic option is a facade made of chipboard without additional finishing. If the decorative characteristics of furniture are more important than economy, more attractive-looking materials can be used for the manufacture of front panels:
- solid wood, which significantly increases the cost, but gives the impression that the entire wardrobe is made of it;
- a mirror surface (simple or with a sandblasted pattern), which looks advantageous in any room, expanding it and making it lighter, but is more fragile;
- bamboo or rattan is the best option for rooms decorated in oriental or ethnic style;
- plastic - this coating is durable, but is not suitable for any interior and can fade under the influence of sunlight;
- glass - an opaque frosted glass door partially hides things inside and looks original, and its only drawback is its high cost.
Features of sliding systems for sliding wardrobes, their varieties
Other popular options include facades made of chipboard or MDF, coated with varnish or acrylic paint. Using photo printing will help make furniture more original.
For the manufacture of original facades, eco-leather is used, which is pleasant to the touch and adds a stylish appearance to the furniture.
