Stylish wardrobe models for the bedroom: the best ideas for 2021

Types of bedroom wardrobes

When starting to purchase a suitable model, you need to decide on the place where the cabinet will be installed, its size, and the type of door opening. Depending on the purpose of the wardrobe and the method of placement in the room, there are several varieties.

Built-in

The frame of the structure is attached to the wall, floor and ceiling, which replace the sides, bottom and top of the cabinet. This model is successfully mounted in a niche or corner of the room. This solution helps to save space in the bedroom and hide possible finishing defects. The full-wall length wardrobe is distinguished by its capacity.

The only negative is the inability to move, lift or rearrange the cabinet. This type of furniture is installed “to last forever,” so you need to think a hundred times before deciding on the location of the built-in wardrobe in the bedroom.

Modular

The most economical and familiar type for Russians. Consists of one housing or a set of modules. Such a wardrobe is often complemented with such items as:

• narrow sections - pencil cases;
• TV stands;
• shelves;
• chests of drawers for linen;
• dressing table;
• mezzanine.

The modules are manufactured in the same design as the cabinet. The result is a functional furniture composition in a single style. It looks more cumbersome than built-in structures, but costs less.

This option is optimal for a bedroom-living room, when it is necessary to place not only clothes inside, but also a book section, equipment, dishes, and decorative elements.

Bedroom set

These cabinets are installed on the sides of the bed and are often sold as a single bedroom furniture set. Bed linen, home knitwear, bath towels and other textiles are stored in the wardrobe. The bedside tables contain items that are required during rest - books, a lamp, glasses and other small things.

Two wardrobes installed on both sides of the sleeping bed can be connected by a narrow mezzanine. It is important to ensure that the fastening is secure so that the structure does not fall onto the bed.

Dressing rooms

Designed exclusively for storing clothes and shoes, they take up a lot of space in the room, the height is from floor to ceiling. Some dressing rooms are comparable in size to a pantry. Inside the closet there are all kinds of devices for neatly placing things - hangers, shelves, organizers, drawers, holders for ties and belts.

The filling is thought out for small things, which makes the wardrobe extremely spacious and makes it easier to find the right thing.

Cabinet shapes

Modern furniture manufacturers offer consumers a variety of wardrobe models that differ in size, height, and location.

Popular cabinet shapes:

• Rectangular (linear). The classic version is usually located along the wall. Can be supplemented with an attached open bookcase, dressing table and other modules.

• Radius cabinet. Suitable for a spacious bedroom, it has a round shape and is often complemented by sliding doors. The design matches the relaxing ambiance of the room.

• Angular. Made in the shape of the letter P (for bedrooms with a large area) or L (suitable for placement in a small room), as well as in the shape of a trapezoid for non-standard layouts. The cabinet can be built-in or free-standing, and consist of several cabinet modules.

Varieties of forms

When purchasing a wardrobe, it is important to consider the area of ​​the room and its layout. If you can buy a wardrobe covering the entire wall for a spacious room, then for a cramped bedroom you can buy corner or built-in models.

Rectangular

This is the most popular option. It is convenient because it can be placed along the wall without taking up extra space. Usually divided into two or three compartments, there are additionally retractable systems for storing securities and documents.

Angular

Compact option for small spaces. Allows you to use the maximum free space in the room. One of the buildings is a section for rods with hangers, the second is with shelves and drawers for clothes.

Before installation, be sure to consider the location of the window openings so that the furniture does not interfere with the natural light in the room.

Radial

A modernized version of the wardrobe with shaped panels. The model is placed both in the center and in the corner of the room. Doors of the usual type or compartment type are used, with a built-in mirror.

You can look in advance on the Internet for photos of bedroom wardrobes with a mirror and choose the best option for yourself. Such wardrobes are quite large, so it is recommended to purchase these models only for spacious bedrooms.

Mounted

Many buyers prefer this form because it does not take up much space and literally “hangs in the air.”

Due to the fact that the structure is intended to be attached to a wall, the lightest possible materials are used in production. This, firstly, reduces the load on the fastening systems and the supporting wall. Secondly, the cabinet is mobile during transportation and requires less energy consumption.

The free space under the hanging model can be used for other purposes, for example, for placing flowers.

Choosing a wardrobe is an exciting, but quite painstaking task. It is necessary to make a sketch in advance of the room for which you plan to buy new clothes. If you understand that you can’t cope on your own, then you can always resort to the help of designers.

It is important not only to choose the right size and model, but also to take into account many nuances, such as: fittings, practicality of use, and, of course, the price of the issue.

Before purchasing, be sure to evaluate the number and location of window openings, because a wide frame can obstruct natural light in the bedroom.

A new piece of furniture should not only serve as storage for things, but also become the “highlight” of your bedroom.

Design

The appearance of the wardrobe is determined by the design of the doors and fittings. For small bedrooms, light shades are relevant, visually expanding the space.

Expert opinion

Olga Kovalenko

Since 2010 I have been engaged in interior design and architectural design.

If there are colorful textiles and wallpaper, the closet should be laconic, in a minimalist style, so as not to visually overload the space. If this piece of furniture serves as an accent in an overall ascetic environment, then it can be decorated with sandblasting or color printing.

If the room is dark or small, you should choose doors with mirrors. In a room located on the sunny side, on the contrary, it is recommended to use matte surfaces and install the cabinet near the window.

Choice of design and colors

During the Soviet Union, it was considered presentable to have a polished wood-look wardrobe at home. Nowadays, this style is considered extremely irrelevant and old-fashioned.

Matte surfaces are now popular. But still, glossy design still has its place.

A new fashion trend is lakomat and lacobel. Lakomat is a varnished surface with matte inserts. Lakobel are elements made of colored glass with a film coating.

The permanent leaders in the color palette remain cabinets in brown, flesh, milky, white, wood and beige tones.

Advantages of light-colored furniture:

• optical enlargement of the bedroom;
• the expressiveness of other interior items against the background of the wardrobe;
• additional light in the room for a good mood.

Among the shortcomings is only soilability, since light-colored furniture requires special care and careful maintenance.

Color

When choosing a cabinet, you should pay attention to the color of the body and facades. If the furniture is built-in, only the doors provide color, and the internal parts hidden from view can be of any color.

For the bedroom, wardrobe wardrobes with facades in calm pastel colors and wood shades on the sides are preferred.

In order to lighten the space and add “airiness” to the bedroom, it is worth installing a white wardrobe with a glossy surface on the doors. If the furnishings in the room are made in a modern style, bright rich shades are possible: blue, pink, purple and others.

Stylistics

Depending on the size, general appearance, design of the facades, the cabinet may correspond to one or another style in the interior.

Several variants:

• Classic. The wardrobe is made of valuable wood, looks massive and bulky, and is expensive. It has strong legs and cornices on top. The doors are hinged, decorated with patina, carvings, and forged handles with a rich pattern.

• Minimalism. Such cabinets are also suitable for a bedroom in a high-tech or loft style. They have strict forms and discreet design. Facades are made of plastic, glass, aluminum, chipboard.

• French Provence. The cabinet can be decorated with a thematic pattern. The color is light - from white to blue and gray. The doors can be made of glass or replaced with a rustic curtain. The surfaces are artificially aged, the fittings seem to be worn out.

• Ethnic. The designs are original. Made from rough wood, rattan or artificial materials that imitate natural ones.

Style solutions

As a rule, the interior of the room is designed in the same style. Before choosing one or another option, you need to evaluate the design and style of the remaining pieces of furniture.

Let's look at the main types of interior design:

1. Classical. Distinctive features are restraint and solidity. Calm pastel colors are preferred in the color scheme. Fittings and decor are usually made in wood style, gilded and silver-plated elements are used. Material for production: natural wood.
2. Minimalist. Characterized by a small number or absence of decorative elements and fittings. The color palette gives preference to milky, brown, and flesh tones. The material for production can be anything.
3. Country. Natural colors often found in nature are preferred. The color palette is rich and bright. Such furniture will bring a touch of optimism to everyday life. Material made of natural wood or its imitation.
4. Provence. A design that came to us from distant France. It has typical French features: softness, grace, weightlessness and elegance. The color palette is limited to calm pastel tones. Preference is given to lilac, lilac and milky shades. Complete with antique fittings.
5. East style. The business card is vibrant and fresh colors, an abundance of additional decorative elements and accessories with gilding or silver.
6. Modern is a direction that is very similar to minimalist. The design contains barely noticeable lines, dull colors, a minimal amount of decor, and there is no pretentiousness. The fittings are made of metal. And in the color palette preference is given to light tones.

Material

A prestigious and expensive cabinet is usually made of wood. However, in addition to the high price, it has other disadvantages - over time, the structure may become deformed, and problems may arise with opening and closing doors.

Wooden furniture is not suitable for rooms with high humidity. A popular and economical material for making a cabinet frame is laminated chipboard.

When choosing a wardrobe, you should pay attention to the formaldehyde content in the particle board. It can be: E0, E1, E2. The lower the number, the less the amount of toxic substance in the glue, the safer the material. E2 class chipboard is not allowed for production in the Russian Federation, according to GOST.

The edge deserves no less attention. It happens:

• PVC (PVC) - used most often, it is practical;
• melamine

This tape is the color of the chipboard, which is glued to the cut site. The ends of the slab must be securely hidden. The edge thickness can be 0.4-2 mm. The higher this indicator, the more reliably the edges are protected. For actively used surfaces, it is worth choosing a thicker edge (1-2 mm), and for inconspicuous or hidden from the eyes 0.4 mm is suitable.

The particle board itself can be coated with:

• laminate;
• acrylic film;
• plastic;
• veneer

It is important that the decorative coating fits securely to the chipboard and does not peel off or bubble.

The thickness of the cabinet sides also matters. It can be 16, 18 and 25 mm. The higher the indicator, the more reliable and durable the structure.

The back walls are invisible, but the material also matters. The cheapest is plywood, which is nailed onto furniture nails. Over time, it may come off, allowing dust to enter the gap. To eliminate the defect, you will need to move the cabinet, which is not always possible.

A more practical solution is a back wall made of fiberboard, which is inserted into grooves and will not fall out in the future. The most reliable option is to cover the back of the cabinet with the same chipboard from which the frame is made.

Size

Considering that bedrooms usually have modest dimensions and are intended for relaxation, most often a compact closet is installed here. The main role in the furniture composition is given to the bed.

Designers recommend choosing wardrobe models that extend upward (to the ceiling) and not to the sides for storing things. It is worth considering the option of installing a narrow cabinet-case of one or two sections in the bedroom when the room is small. These models are compact, occupying only about 0.5-1 m in width.

If there is no other place in the apartment to place household items, books, and a wardrobe, then for the bedroom it is worth purchasing a large wall with a wardrobe, open and glass-covered shelves.

Expert opinion

Olga Kovalenko

Since 2010 I have been engaged in interior design and architectural design.

Legs are installed at the bottom of modular furniture. It's good if they are adjustable.

Despite the fact that many beautiful models are made to order according to individual sizes, there are generally accepted standards for the depth of the wardrobe. Narrow designs - 45 cm, more convenient to use - 60. The height of factory products can be 1.8-2.4 m.

Number and types of doors

The number of cabinet opening systems depends on the size and design of the product. Accordingly, the longer it is, the greater the number of opening structures - one, two, three doors, etc. On average, a door is provided for 0.5-0.7 m.

As a rule, each leaf corresponds to the size of the internal section divided by a partition. There are exceptions in wardrobes, because sliding facades are relevant for “endless” wardrobes and built-in storage systems.

Types of cabinet doors:

• Swing. Economical and practical option. The main thing that needs to be provided is the presence of free space near the cabinet so that nothing interferes with opening and access.

• Sliding. The so-called coupes are increasingly in demand among modern consumers. They are more expensive than hinged ones, but have a stylish design and provide easy access to the contents - just move the door to the side.

• Harmonic. It is used quite rarely, often in dressing rooms. The facade consists of several vertical segments that fold like a fan when opening a large cabinet.

Furniture requirements

We list the main characteristics that you should pay attention to when purchasing:

1. Capacity of shelves.
2. There is a department with a bar for hangers, pants racks, tie holders, shoe racks and baskets.
3. Door opening feature. The purely individual preferences of the buyer are taken into account here. It is necessary to think in advance about the intended location of the furniture for convenient use. For example, position the closet so that open doors do not block the passage.
4. Wardrobe shape (corner, straight, etc.). For example, for bedrooms with a small area, a corner wardrobe would be the best choice. It is recommended to first take measurements of the room and select an approximate location for future purchase.
5. Design. An important point is the visual correspondence of all pieces of furniture in the room. It is necessary to adhere to a single color scheme for the harmony of the entire ensemble.

Types of door mechanisms

Depending on the type of facades used, the necessary fittings are selected for them.

Options:

• On rollerskates. This mechanism is used in sliding and sliding wardrobes and allows the doors to slide right and left along special strips at the top and bottom of the structure.

• On hinges. They can be classic or with closers (then the door closes on its own). Installed on hinged cabinet doors. The more massive and wider the facade, the larger and more powerful the hinges are required.

• On gas lifts. Pneumatic lifts are popular on mezzanines, they open from bottom to top, and are often equipped with closers.

Ease of use largely depends on the quality of the fittings. Expensive products from European brands last much longer and work better than Chinese products. If the opening mechanisms are installed in good faith, then the gap width between the doors does not exceed 2-3 mm.

Chest of drawers or wardrobe?

Currently, it is important to follow the principles of minimalism and rational use of space.

Therefore, many people ask the question: “Isn’t it better to buy a chest of drawers instead of a closet to have more free space?”

We will try to succinctly answer the question and highlight the main advantages of a wardrobe over a chest of drawers:

• Possibility of storing things in a vertical position (dresses, outerwear, shirts, trousers). This storage option will save you from the daily need to iron your clothes, thereby saving time and effort. If you put your clothes in the chest of drawers in the evening, there is a high probability that you will need an iron again in the morning.
• Distribution of things on shelves depending on their categories and frequency of use. For example, you can place underwear separately from hosiery, and winter items separately from summer items. Also, you can put on a further shelf those clothes that you use from time to time. For example, ties or an evening dress can be stored high, and casual clothes can be placed on the middle or lower shelf for easy access. In the case of a chest of drawers, you will most likely have to fold things so that they fit.
• The presence of full-length mirrors on closet doors. This advantage requires no comment, because you are unlikely to be able to place a full-length mirror on the chest of drawers.

We hope that we have provided enough convincing advantages in favor of wardrobes and now you can start choosing.

Facade decoration

The presentable appearance of the cabinet directly depends on the finish of the doors. Most often used for the manufacture of facades:

• chipboard;
• MDF;
• mirrors;
• glass;
• aluminum profile.

Sliding wardrobes have the greatest number of options for decorating facades, since they represent a single structure. But you can also create an unusual design on swing doors.

For decorative door decoration use:

• mirror fragments;
• stained glass;
• gloss;
• photo printing;
• multi-colored acrylic films;
• bamboo;
• sandblasting;
• 3D images and others.

Internal filling

The main task of a closet in the bedroom is storage, which is why it is so important to think about the placement of partitions and sections. In a well-equipped wardrobe, clothes do not wrinkle, although they are folded compactly. Other things are also stored there - underwear, shoes, accessories.

For the functional internal filling of the cabinet, many devices are used:

• drawers;
• shelves;
• boxes;
• separators;
• baskets;
• hangers for clothes;
• clips for trousers and skirts;
• tie makers;
• devices for storing belts;
• baskets for shoes and linen, etc.

It is worth taking care of the interior lighting, especially if the closet is deep or replaces a dressing room.

Photo catalog of wardrobes in bedrooms

An important feature of the products is the ability to independently plan the interior content of the furniture, based on wishes and preferences.

To ensure that the design of the room is done correctly, we recommend that you familiarize yourself in detail with the photo designs of wardrobes in the bedrooms, which will help in solving many issues. Then you need to make a decision about what will be stored in it. In your thoughts, divide its internal part into three main ones:

• In the lower part, as a rule, handbags with shoes are stored.
• The main part will be in the middle. It, in turn, should be divided into things necessary for everyday wear, as well as for outerwear.
• The mezzanines will store things that will be used much less often.

In addition, we recommend deciding on the placement of other necessary items:

• You should consider where you will store your socks and underwear along with the baskets.
• Will the furniture be filled with hooks, and what kind of hangers will you prefer?
• Is it necessary to install an internal ironing board and, accordingly, is there a need to attach the iron?
• What kind of shoe shelves will there be and where exactly will they be located?

You can use the inside of the doors. You can store belts, ties, and many other small items on them.

The size of the large closet in the bedroom is of great importance. But, it is also important to know the dimensions of each of the compartments, so that this question does not drive you into a dead end when you are immediately faced with the choice and purchase of a specific cabinet model. So, for example, if we talk about an area for vertical storage of things, then it should be at least one and a half meters in height and eighty centimeters in width. The topmost shelf should not be more than forty centimeters. As for standard shelves, they are approximately within fifty cm.

You should consider having several sections in the closet at the same time. Well, or at least two or three sections.

Modern models 2021

The bedroom is an intimate room, where household members relax and recover after a hard day. It is important that the color, style, and model of the cabinet complement the overall interior, giving it even more elegance and comfort.

When choosing a suitable wardrobe for your bedroom, it is important to pay attention to its spaciousness, functionality and aesthetic appearance. It is desirable that the furniture in the room be made in the same color and style, all interior items are harmoniously combined with each other.
