Sliding wardrobes samples inside. Layout of the interior space of the closet. Internal filling options

In the hallway you need a closet or hanger for storing clothes. An ordinary closet is inconvenient due to swing doors that block the passage, and a hanger with a bunch of clothes does not look as aesthetically pleasing as we would like. Therefore, in recent years, more and more often they put a closet in the hallway. This type of furniture allows you to rationally use the entire usable volume - due to shelves, baskets, hangers, etc.

Construction types

Sliding wardrobes are of three types. Built-in ones differ in that they occupy some kind of niche and do not have their own walls, floor and ceiling. A similar design is also made when it is possible to fence off part of the room from wall to wall. In this case, they simply order a facade (doors) for a sliding wardrobe with a system of rollers and guides. Partitions are placed inside and the filling is fixed / installed. In some hallways, a built-in closet is made on the site of the former pantry, with a different layout, it is possible to fence off a part at the end.

Built-in wardrobe occupies a niche or part of the room from wall to wall

If this is not possible, put a sliding wardrobe. This is a full-fledged large wardrobe with a back wall. sides, floor and ceiling. It differs in the design of doors and filling. Another difference is that they try to make this type of storage systems right up to the ceiling in order to make the most of all the space. Yes, and it looks more organic.

Cabinet wardrobe. There are more materials, but the functionality is the same

The next view is a corner wardrobe in the hallway. They are usually small in size, convenient in that they allow you to use the space in the corner, which is difficult to use in a different way. In large corner structures, it can be difficult to choose the filling in the corner - to make it convenient to use, you need to try hard.

One of the options for a corner wardrobe in the hallway is between two doors

Radial wardrobes. They differ in that they do not have a flat but curved front part. The side walls can also be rounded. Such furniture is purely individual and looks very good, but it costs more.

Radial cabinets look interesting

This is briefly about what wardrobes are and how they fit into hallways and corridors. It is easy to choose the best type - you need to look at the plan, see where you can theoretically fit such furniture. Then evaluate how convenient such an arrangement will be and do not forget to take into account the direction in which the doors located nearby open. If necessary, they can be outweighed by replacing the hinges.

Dimensions

The smallest sliding wardrobes are made for two doors and they have a width of 1-1.5 m. The maximum length of the wardrobe is limited by the number of doors. They are set to a maximum of 5. At the same time, it should be taken into account that a rather wide profile with five “rails” is attached to the floor, along which the rollers mounted on the door roll. A similar profile is attached to the ceiling.

This is a 4 door option.

If there are a lot of clothes on the shoulders

Small corner wardrobes are suitable even for small apartments

This is one example of a wardrobe in the hallway with 3 doors

The depth of the sliding wardrobe can be any, but 45 cm and 60 cm are considered standard. From 400 mm to 700 mm are made to order. In height, the sliding wardrobe can be up to the ceiling. Usually they are made in the range from 2000 mm to 2700 mm.

Filling

Having decided on the type and dimensions of the wardrobe, they begin to develop the content. This is the filling that is behind the doors. Since outerwear and shoes are usually left in the hallway, first of all they allocate space for them.

The layout of the wardrobe inside: two and three doors

Compartments for outerwear

For coats and other lengths of clothing, you will need a compartment where you can hang hangers. If the width of the cabinet is 60 cm or more, they put the usual crossbar on which hangers (hangers) are attached. It can be placed at shoulder level or slightly higher.

With sufficient depth, install crossbars

With a sliding wardrobe width of 45 cm or less, you need to look for a retractable design - transverse (front) bars, on which the hangers hang parallel to the door, and not sideways to it. Similar designs are attached just above the level of the head - it's more convenient. You need to raise your hand and hang up the hanger. Therefore, a shelf is attached approximately at this level, and a bar is already attached to it.

Rods for frontal hangers

The height of these departments depends on what you plan to store here. Under raincoats, coats, fur coats, departments make 130-150 cm, depending on the height of the owners. Under jackets, jackets and more. similar clothes taking 90-120 cm.

With a sliding wardrobe height of 220 cm or more, in one section, if necessary, two compartments for crossbars with hangers can be placed. At the top, not a bar is installed, but a pantograph. This is a crossbar with a mechanism that allows it to be raised and lowered.

The pantograph allows you to use the space all the way to the top

All this allows you to conveniently and compactly arrange outerwear.

Shoe storage

The lower part of the closet is reserved for shoes. For storing shoes, it is more convenient to install not shelves made of chipboard, but mesh ones. Firstly, such shelves have better “visibility”, secondly, dust and dirt do not accumulate on them, and thirdly, it is convenient to put shoes on heels.

Ideas for storing shoes in the closet for the hallway

In the photo you see special retractable systems for shoes. Mesh, those that are narrower, you can fix two in one compartment: on the right and left walls. They are not very wide and there is even a small distance between them.

Instead of gratings, you can install several tubes or rods at a short distance from each other. And the back tube should be a little higher.

Another way to store shoes in the closet in the hallway

The height of the compartments for shoes is determined based on its number. For some, two is enough, and for others, five will not be enough. That is why the closet in the hallway is convenient, that you can develop the filling to suit your needs.

Shelves-boxes

At the very top of the structure - under the ceiling - they make an extensive department in which large, rarely used items are stored. There you can also send clothes that are not worn this season. The height of this shelf is about 60 cm, but look at the circumstances.

One of the options for the layout of the closet for the hallway inside

The remaining free space is filled with shelves and drawers or wire baskets. It will be possible to store hats, bags, mittens, gloves, scarves, etc. here. It is also convenient to have a compartment for umbrellas. It is especially needed for long cane-type umbrellas. Their distribution is arbitrary - as you think is more convenient, do it. There is only one caveat with drawers. The compartment where they are located should be narrower than the width of the door. Only in this case the boxes will be put forward.

Vacuum cleaner and ironing board

You can hide an ironing board and a vacuum cleaner in the closet for the hallway. These are two devices that are pretty hard to find storage space for.

The figure below provides space for a conventional ironing board. By the way, they are built-in, with a system for attaching to the walls. But in this case, you will not be able to transfer them to another room and you will have to iron them in the corridor.

Under the vacuum cleaner, a compartment that is suitable in size is simply assigned. It can be specially planned for the existing unit.

Decoration and design ideas

First, let's talk about what wardrobes are made of. The whole structure can be divided into a body and a facade (doors). The body is made of laminated chipboard or MDF. The option with chipboard is cheaper, but the structures are only straight-lined - this material does not bend and its manufacturing technology does not allow to obtain curved surfaces. MDF is a more environmentally friendly and expensive material. Here you can form rounded edges from it.

MDF allows you to create rounded shapes for furniture. Such sliding wardrobes are called radial.

Facades or doors for sliding wardrobes are made of different materials, framed in a profile frame. Use:


But most often you can find combined facades. Various combinations of the materials listed above give just an incredible number of design options. You can develop a design for any interior and taste. Some examples are in the photo below.

Corner wardrobes for the hallway: use the available space to the maximum

When buying or making a wardrobe, you need to think in advance about how and with what you are going to fill it. After all, he gained his popularity thanks to a large selection of different combinations and ready-made modules that allow you to adapt to the requirements of the owners. Properly selected filling for sliding wardrobes is a guarantee of functionality.

First of all, decide for what purposes you will use the cabinet, what you will store in it. The filling of the wardrobe for the hallway and for the bedroom will vary greatly; let's look at everything in order.

It is conditionally possible to divide the classic wardrobes into three parts:

  1. lower - for storing shoes;
  2. middle - the main part, where hangers, shelves are located;
  3. upper (mezzanine) - for storing things that are rarely used.

The wardrobe in the bedroom should have a lot of space for storing everyday, work clothes and bed linen. The depth, as a rule, is about 60 cm, which means that about 50 cm is available for storage. Thus, inside you can place both standard hanger rods and retractable ones with a release mechanism.

Popular options for filling wardrobes include the following details.

  • Pantograph - a rod with a handle and a mechanism for descending to use the space above.
  • Mesh baskets and shelves for linen made of metal or plastic - you can store anything in them, from shirts to socks.
  • Hung the usual or end - for hangers.
  • Clothes hangers with hooks - this is how you store things that do not wrinkle.
  • Retractable trouser holders.
  • Hangers for ties, belts and cufflinks.
  • Multi-level pull-out baskets - for storing small items.
  • Iron mount, which is fixed on the wall. In addition, you can make a built-in ironing board.
  • Shelves and niches for storing shoes.

Filling built-in wardrobes: used modules

Features of the closet in the hallway

The peculiarity of the furniture in the hallway is a small width. For compact hallways in Khrushchev, the optimal depth is 40 cm, unlike the standard 60 cm. Also note that 10 cm of depth is occupied by a sliding mechanism, so standard coat hangers will not fit in such a narrow cabinet. Here, the use of a perpendicularly located hanger is suitable; it can be both retractable and stationary. Of course, you can’t hang a lot of hangers on it, but there is enough space for a small family. In a compartment 1 m long, you can place two pairs of such hangers parallel to each other, in total getting the length of one full-fledged one.


To store shoes, wire shelves are used, which are fixed at an angle. Each such shelf will fit 2-3 pairs of shoes, so the main part will have to be stored in boxes on ordinary shelves.

In the hallway and corridor, small drawers are indispensable for storing small things: brushes, shoe polish, keys. Part of the space should be occupied by shelves for outerwear for other seasons that you are not currently wearing. To do this, make pull-out baskets or regular shelves from chipboard.

Also popular are models from several sections, which are complemented by hangers, corner shelves, hat holders, and seats. Take care of the required number of hooks for bags, packages and umbrellas.

A good solution is to use a mirror for the cabinet doors. It will make the hallway visually wider, and you can look at yourself in full growth. In addition, you can install the backlight on the visor or inside the cabinet.

    • The layout of the closet inside should match the number of sliding doors. If you are making two doors, then it is advisable to install two vertical sections. If the doors are wide, you can make an exception by adding a few compartments, but it is undesirable to put sliding doors longer than 1 meter.
    • The length of the clothes rail should be sufficient, so it should be made larger than the compartment with shelves. The recommended length of the rod is 90 cm, and the shelves are 60 cm.
    • The filling of the closet should be at a convenient height for normal access inside. If you are making shelves for clothes, the opening should be 35-40 cm, and for books - 20-35 cm.
    • To store short clothes on hangers, the opening should be 80-100 cm, and for long coats - 150-160 cm. To calculate the opening for the bar more accurately, add 20 centimeters to the longest clothes.
    • The upper space (mezzanine) is usually used for unnecessary large things, so make the top shelf 45-60 cm high.
    • If you have a lot of clothes on hangers, it will be more convenient to increase the depth of the cabinet to 70 cm. Thus, minus the thickness of the doors, you will have the optimal 60 cm. But do not make the depth too large, otherwise it will be inconvenient to get things from the far edge of the shelves.

With an increase in the depth of the cabinet, access to things will be more difficult. The closet will be larger, but the clothes on ordinary shelves will have to be folded in several rows, and at the first attempt to get the right thing, everything will fall apart.
Pull-out mesh drawers provide more access to the second row of clothes and are great for storing smaller items.

    • Underwear and socks are best stored in a drawer.
    • Retractable fillers for wardrobes fasten so that the door frame does not interfere with their movement. Handles on drawers must be recessed inwards.

Sliding wardrobes: internal filling

When choosing drawers, pay attention to the quality and type of guide rails. They should allow the box to be completely rolled out so that it does not fall. Cheap roller guides allow you to extend them only halfway. The most progressive drawers have a closer mechanism that gently and quietly slides it into place.

  • For long shelves and rods, provide partitions that will support them.
  • To install lighting inside the cabinet, use a retractable visor, which will automatically turn on when the door is opened.

Corner wardrobes

Corner cabinet inside

Separately, it is worth talking about the filling of corner wardrobes, an example of which you see in the photo. They have different shapes: triangle, trapezium, diagonal models.
If you decide to make the wardrobe corner, the filling will be more difficult, because you need to provide easy access to things in the corner. A good way to make good use of corner space is to install several hanger rods in the center. An example of their fastening is shown in the photo.

Most often, the place in the corner is occupied by clothes hangers, but there are options with the location of the shelves.

In the corners you can make open shelves for souvenirs.

Features of filling built-in wardrobes

If you decide for yourself, the interior filling may be more practical. You make the most of the free space from floor to ceiling, fill in empty niches. For example, many people prefer to organize a place for a TV or computer. To do this, they either create an additional open module, or put it inside, hiding it with doors.

Filling examples

With the help of a visual diagram, where the filling of the closet is visible, you can see examples of combining different components. Of course, all of them are conditional, select the best ideas for yourself and create something of your own.

Option for 4-door cabinet

It is difficult to imagine a modern apartment interior without a closet. It is not surprising that a wardrobe of 2 meters can be found in almost every home. This multifunctional furniture allows you to hide from prying eyes not only bulky things, but also various little things.

Each hostess, equipping the apartment, seeks to create an atmosphere of comfort and family coziness. Naturally, the most scrupulous approach to furniture accessories. When choosing a cabinet, you should pay attention to the following nuances:

  • the height of the ceilings in panel houses does not exceed 2.5 meters, respectively, a cabinet height of 2.1 m will be the best option;
  • depending on the length of the room and its purpose, it is possible to choose furniture consisting of several sections, occupying the entire area of ​​​​the wall or part of it. A budget wardrobe 2 meters wide is ideal for small apartments, hallways;
  • the depth should not exceed 60 cm, otherwise the furniture will seem bulky, taking up most of the free space;
  • so that the cabinet shelves do not deform under the weight of things, their width should be no more than 1 m. At the same time, shelves less than 40 cm will be practically unusable;
  • in order to avoid deflection of the rod intended for outerwear (jackets, coats, sheepskin coats, fur coats), the optimal length of the element is within 0.8-1 meter;
  • the bar located in the clothes compartment should be located at a height of 160 cm, the bar in the shirt compartment - at a height of 80 cm;
  • the parameters of boxes for small items should ideally be within 10-30 cm in height and 40-80 cm in width.

The specified dimensions are used in the manufacture of standard furniture for mass use. With an individual order, all cabinet parameters can be significantly changed at the request of the client.

corner model

A corner wardrobe can be a great alternative to wall-type furniture for rooms with limited space. Such a design, despite its compact configuration, in practice turns out to be a very roomy element of decor. The section intended for storing outerwear, as a rule, is located in the middle of the closet and is installed directly in the corner, due to which the volume of the wardrobe compartment increases significantly. Depending on the modification, in the corner block, in addition to the hanger bar, all kinds of drawers and shelves are provided, which in practice turn out to be very useful.

Inner space

When planning the interior space of built-in furniture, it is advisable to use the services of a professional designer. The standard filling of the wardrobe provides for the storage of clothes, shoes, and other things. With the involvement of a specialist, it is possible to design additional elements, for example, a place for installing an ironing board with an iron.

Furniture manufacturers, as a rule, offer the following content for a 2 meter closet:

  • for maximum use of the upper space, a pantograph is built in - a bar equipped with a handle and a trigger mechanism;
  • a bar for hangers is ordinary, end (typical for corner furniture);
  • for things that are not subject to deformation, hangers equipped with hooks are provided;
  • hangers for accessories (scarves, ties, cufflinks, belts);
  • trouser holders equipped with retractable mechanisms;
  • metal (plastic) mesh baskets for underwear;
  • multi-level pull-out baskets are provided for storing small items;
  • fixed wall mount for iron and ironing board;
  • compartments for storing shoes.

The internal content of the cabinet can vary significantly, depending on the needs and preferences of the client.

Options for design and decoration of facades

The first steps have been taken: the material, the configuration have been chosen, the internal content has been determined. It remains to decide on the design and facades. The budget option is a blank facades made of chipboard. Many designers advise combining chipboard with mirror elements, which visually increase the interior space of the room, hiding some building flaws.

Designers distinguish five main options for facades:

  • classic style - the facade is decorated with chipboard. One of the two (three) wings can be decorated with mirror glass;
  • the diagonal facade is characterized by the presence of metal profiles, conditionally dividing the surface into parts. In this case, the profiles are located at an angle to each other. Any option can be used as a finishing material: chipboard sheets of various shades, painted / transparent glass, mirror;
  • geometric style - cabinet doors are decorated with rectangles of different heights, but the same width corresponding to the width of the sash. As in the previous version, any material can be chosen for finishing;
  • wave style is the most expensive element of decor, since the plates are made individually. At the same time, the wave style allows you to show the creativity of the owner of the headset;
  • sector facade - the source material is divided into tiles of a certain size and placed on the surface of the cabinet in the order indicated by the customer / designer.

Modern technologies for the production of finishing materials have advanced so much that the number of design solutions is in the thousands. Consider the most common:

  • Chipboard is the most modest decor option. The wood panel emphasizes the simplicity of style, creating the effect of invisibility of “bulky furniture”, while the color schemes are so diverse that it is quite possible to hide the simplicity of the interior. The advantage of finishing: ease of maintenance, resistance to mechanical damage, durability;
  • mirror - a 2-meter cabinet, standing in a small room, whose doors are decorated with mirror glass, visually enlarges the space. Amalgam leaves an indelible impression of beauty, but requires constant care, as even the smallest dirt (fingerprints) is visible on the surface;
  • frosted glass is a durable, translucent material. It is the effect of transparency that is not entirely appropriate for decorating cabinets in the hallway or living room. Furniture in this design would rather be appropriate in the bedroom, as the contents of the closet are partially visible through the matte surface;
  • shutters made of glass look spectacular, the inner side of which is covered with colored varnish;
  • glass surfaces with drawings/photos. Here it is possible to show boundless imagination. The production technology of such surfaces allows you to give the appearance of any texture (natural wood, gloss, natural stone, relief sketch, landscape).

The most expensive decor options include finishing with natural wood, leather, but, as a rule, this design is used exclusively in the manufacture of custom-made furniture.

How to choose

Before choosing a particular cabinet model, it is necessary to take measurements of the room in which the cabinet is supposed to be placed. Having dimensions, you can safely go to the furniture salon. Here you should pay attention to the quality of the material. It is desirable if the product is made of high-strength chipboard / MDF board. In addition to strength, the material is resistant to moisture, the occurrence of fungus. The next stage is the compliance of the internal content of the selected model with personal requirements. And the final stage is the choice of design. It is noteworthy that manufacturers meet the wishes of the client and provide the opportunity to change the decor of the external panels to their liking.

For residents of small apartments, a wardrobe 2 meters wide is ideal. The design will perfectly fit in any corner of the house, hiding a lot of “extra” things. And, of course, by choosing the appropriate design of cabinet surfaces, the interior will acquire special notes of home comfort.

A photo

In our dwellings we have to solve a difficult task - it is necessary to place a lot of things in a relatively small area. For this reason, we try to use every centimeter of the area to the maximum. A striking example of this is the use of sliding doors in furniture instead of swing doors. Another example is filling the wardrobe. Properly selected, it allows you to use the entire available volume, and not just the area.

Organization of the internal space of the wardrobe

In order to properly organize the internal space of the closet, it would be nice to know what can be put there in general. Most often, the set consists of several shelves, a compartment for clothes hangers. There may also be drawers. These are the most common types of filling, but far from the only ones. There are also special hangers for trousers (trouser cases), skirts (skirt cases), holders for belts and ties, special shelves for shoes (shoe racks). Moreover, they can be stationary and retractable. They allow you to more compactly place clothes of a certain type and it is always in the allotted place.

All these devices are called wardrobe fittings or accessories, but the phrase “filling the wardrobe” is most often used. It more accurately reflects the essence - these are various devices for organizing the space inside.

Hangers and crossbars

Hanger rails can be placed parallel (1, 2, 4) or perpendicular (7) to cabinet doors. It is more convenient when the crossbar is parallel to the door - all the things that hang on it are visible. But in this case, the depth of the closet cannot be less than 60 cm - coat hangers with clothes take up just that much space.

If the crossbar is perpendicular to the door, the cabinet may be less deep - 40-45 cm. But in this case only the first thing is fully visible, all the rest are hidden behind it. Not very comfortable. You can solve the problem by installing a retractable system. In this case, it will be much more convenient to use.

It is often more convenient to place compartments for clothes on a hanger at the top of the cabinet, leaving the bottom for shelves and drawers. In this case, they put not ordinary crossbars, but movable ones. This device for filling the wardrobe is called "pantographs".

The pantograph is a hanger bar that can be lowered

There are different sizes of pantographs, but if you want to equip them with a ready-made, and not individually made option, look at the dimensions in advance and “adjust” the width of the compartment for them. After all, you still need to leave a place for attaching the mechanism.

Shelves and drawers

Filling a wardrobe is rarely complete without shelves and drawers. Shelves from the closet are made of different depths and heights - it all depends on what you plan to put on them, but the minimum shelf height is 30 cm. You can put several sweaters and T-shirts on it.

Most often, shelves are made of laminated fiberboard, but mesh can be installed. They take up very little space (in terms of thickness), which is also a plus if there are problems with dimensions. The second positive point is that if the mesh shelves are high, you can see from below what lies there (at least partially). Their disadvantage is the fixed dimensions that will have to be taken into account when planning. Although, a small error can be corrected by the planks on which these shelves can be laid.

Drawers can also be made of or mesh. The advantages and disadvantages are the same. In some cases, mesh boxes are called baskets. Lightweight and comfortable, they do not accumulate dust.

Devices for compact placement of things

Most often there is not enough space in the closet. Even if they are of decent size. Therefore, they try to develop the filling of the closet in such a way that the available volumes are used rationally. For example, instead of traditional shelves for shoes (mesh or chipboard), you can put a retractable shoe rack. They perfectly accommodate low shoes - shoes, sandals, boots.

Due to the fact that the shoes fit obliquely, it is better seen. If you use mesh shelves for shoes, due to the fact that the heels "fall through", space is significantly saved.

Many problems arise with the storage of trousers, jeans. For this type of clothing, there is also a special device, which is often called a "trouser". These are retractable straps on which double-folded trousers hang.

Usually they are placed under the shelves at the level of the belt, it is possible at the level of the shoulders. Above is not worth it - it's inconvenient. In the upper part of the closet, it is better to place a pantograph or shelves for rarely used items.

Also in the filling for wardrobes there is a device for storing ties and belts. Scarves, mufflers, etc. can be stored on the same devices. This hanger is similar to a trouser rack, only it is smaller.

They are more convenient to place on the side in the clothing section. They are about 15-20 cm wide, so they won’t take up much space. Another option for placing such things is a drawer, divided by partitions into small squares.

What else is worth saying about the filling for wardrobes? At firms that make furniture, all (or almost all) sliding systems are solid. Each device also increases the cost of installation. If you have at least a little skill in handling a drill and (or a screwdriver), you can mount it yourself by purchasing these devices from a company. Get a little cheaper. You can save more if you buy them through online stores or straight from China.

These are all devices that are used when filling wardrobes. The main thing is to place them correctly, determine the dimensions of sections and doors.

Internal planning: technical points

To develop the internal arrangement of the wardrobe, you need to decide on the number of clothes of various types that you plan to place in this furniture. For certain volumes of different types of clothing, the filling of the wardrobe is being developed. It will greatly depend on the location of the built-in furniture. For example, if the closet is in the hallway, you need to allocate space for outerwear. Since coats and raincoats are long, this compartment should also have a large height - 130-150 cm. You will also need to allocate space for storing hats / gloves / scarves.

Such departments, probably, will not be in the bedroom. But here a TV can be built in (there are also such wardrobes), which in the corridor will be absolutely useless. In general, think carefully about what you are going to store in each specific closet, measure the dimensions of large items, add at least 10 cm of freedom of action and apply these dimensions to the plan.

When determining the height and width of the shelves, do not forget to subtract the thickness of the chipboard if the furniture is assembled from this material. It just seems that 18 mm is not much. If there are, for example, five shelves, then the material will take almost 10 cm in height.

When determining the size and number of doors, dividing the wardrobe into sections, pay special attention to sections that have sliding systems. The fact is that the doors are not exactly 1/2 or 1/3 of the width of the cabinet, but a little more. Specifically, more than twice the width of the profile. That is, if you have three doors in a wardrobe 180 cm wide, then by opening one of them, you will get less free space than 60 cm.

Therefore, the width of the drawers (and the sections in which they are built) should be slightly less than the width of your doors.

And the second point concerns the depth of the cabinet. If a pantograph or hanger holder with clothes is installed, the minimum width is 60 cm. When installing a retractable hanger hanger, 45 cm is enough. But note that the retractable design itself should be no more than 40 cm in length - you still need room for freedom of movement doors.

Popular wardrobe filling options

As you understand, there can be a lot of options here, but there are several basic configurations that can be modified to suit your own desires.

Which departments should be

Conventionally, the entire height of the wardrobe can be divided into three zones: lower, middle, upper. Shoes, some types of household appliances (vacuum cleaners, for example) are usually placed in the lower zone. At the top, high mezzanine shelves are most often made, which are used to store things that are rarely used. There you can also remove out-of-season items.

The entire middle part is usually occupied by shelves, drawers, departments for hangers. It is with their placement that you usually have to tinker. To make everything convenient for all family members.

How to organize a small closet inside

Any filling of a sliding wardrobe in the vast majority of cases has a certain number of shelves and departments for hangers. This is the easiest and most economical option. Usually they are two-door - the recommended width of the door leaf is no more than a meter, which is observed in this case. The smallest sliding wardrobe is just over a meter wide. They are usually installed in the corridors of small apartments. Two doors are also made if the length is slightly longer - up to 180 cm.

There will not be much variety here, but it is quite possible to install a couple of boxes if necessary. Here, retractable devices for compact placement will be very useful. A trouser will definitely be needed.

Medium sizes

If the width of the wardrobe is 180 cm or a little more - about 2 meters, most often it is divided into three sections. These models are also called three-door, since most often the number of sections coincides with the number of doors. With a width of 2 meters, each of the sections is obtained in a width of about 60 cm (including partitions). This is a fairly convenient format - not too wide and not too narrow, with such a length of shelves there will be no problems with chipboard sagging even if its thickness is 14 mm.

By increasing the length of the cabinet to 270 cm, it can still be three-door - the width of the door is still less than a meter. But at a high height, such doors are already quite massive and require good fittings (guides and wheels must be of good quality so that the sliding is smooth). So already with a width of more than 240 cm, 4 doors can be planned. In this case, there can be three sections. Just to access each of them you have to move two doors.

Filling wardrobe medium length

The first and third sketches consist only of shelves and compartments for clothes on hangers. The place is distributed differently, but there are a lot of shelves. All others have added drawers and/or slatted baskets.

Drawers can be located at the very bottom. Leaning on the lower part, they give the entire structure increased rigidity. But the lower drawers are not very convenient to use - you have to bend low. Therefore, more often they are raised higher so that they are approximately at a level above the middle of the thigh or at the level of the belt. But in this case, a reinforced jumper under the bottom drawer is necessary - to give greater rigidity to the entire structure.

Pay attention to the mezzanine - the upper compartments. In the above options, they have the same size as the sections, but this is not necessary. If necessary, one mezzanine can be located above the two sections. It is only important to correctly calculate the thickness of the material for the shelf so that it does not bend.

Sliding wardrobe for 3 meters

With a sliding wardrobe length of 3 meters, 4 sections are made, and there may be more doors. There is more space, but there is not much difference in the filling. Just more of the same shelves, pantographs and drawers / baskets. There can be many combinations. Choose the option that suits you the most, but you can also change it - according to your needs and tastes.

A few more options for the internal filling of large cabinets in the photo gallery. There are some interesting ideas about organizing storage on open shelves - in baskets or plastic boxes. This, by the way, is a budget replacement for drawers, as well as a way to modernize the filling of a sliding wardrobe without problems and special costs. If you decide that there are few drawers and a lot of shelves, it is not necessary to order boxes and suffer with their installation. A good replacement is boxes or baskets of the right size.

There is even a compartment for storing household chemicals - in plastic trays mounted on the wall. Narrow boxes and wide baskets are also an interesting option.

Interior arrangement of the corner wardrobe

To make the corner cabinet convenient to use, it is necessary to ensure the availability of things located in the corner. The easiest way to do this is with clothes hangers. There are several options. The easiest to implement is to install two clothes bars without a partition between the sections. In this case, the width of the cabinet on both walls should be the same, and the rack to which the crossbars are attached adds the missing rigidity.

The second option is that one part of the closet has a smaller depth and “behind the wall” it will be possible to place output clothes. It is not used very often.

And another way is to install a spinning rack in the corner. They can be found in stores specializing in commercial equipment.

In the corner is a revolving bar. Quite convenient

Only choose a model with a stand - it will support the shelves from above, giving rigidity and stability. The rest of the filling of the closet is not much different.

The bedroom is a reflection of the spiritual world of the owners. This is the most intimate room in the house. The design and arrangement of furniture should contribute to relaxation and good rest. No modern apartment is complete without a closet. Roll-out doors of this type of cabinet furniture save room space.

Before choosing the option of filling the compartment in the bedroom, it is important to determine the main functions that it must meet. Based on the necessary options, the internal equipment is thought out.

Filling options for different needs

Filling options for different designs

In the classic model, the number of doors corresponds to the number of compartments. This is done for ease of access - the place of the "junction" falls on the partition between the sectors, so you do not have to contrive when getting the right thing. Radius, angular, trapezoidal models do not obey this rule - they have one spacious, deep section. By opening such a cabinet from any side, you will get access to all the contents.

There is a place for every thing: clothes, shoes, bedding and underwear

with two doors

The maximum sash width in this type of compartment is 900 mm. Behind two doors, a couple of modules are most often equipped. One of them serves as a wardrobe, the second (with horizontal shelves) - for storing piles of wrinkle-resistant clothes. The upper and lower parts of the structure are occupied by mezzanines and a long shoe shelf.

with three doors

Behind the facade of three doors it is convenient to place the same number of modules. In the center - a section for clothes with a partition for hangers and two transverse shelves (bottom for shoes and top for towels, bedding, bedspreads). Along the edges there are compartments with horizontal shelves for stacks of not very wrinkled clothes and roll-out boxes for underwear, tights, scarves, documents, valuables.

Radius

This is the same corner, but with more ornate forms. The facade can have a variety of appearance, depending on the size and features of the layout of the room.

Shapes of radius cabinets:

  • convex (semicircular) - roomy, but bulky;
  • concave - less capacious, repeats the bend of the wall;
  • combined - elegant, due to the smooth lines of the facade, it fits into the features of the layout of any room.

The radius coupe has increased depth, but shares the problem of non-functional areas with corner models. Hooks, trempels, shelves of non-standard shape help to use the zone at the door.

built-in

Often in apartments the bedroom is small in size, a standard full-wall wardrobe takes up a lot of space. The built-in wardrobe in this case is an excellent solution to the problem. In such furniture there are no side and top panels. It is more spacious than classic cabinet furniture, since the guide mechanisms are attached to the walls, ceiling and floor.

An example of the location of the shelves of the built-in wardrobe

The width of the facade, depending on your wishes and possibilities, can be different: 1 meter, 2 meters, 3 meters, for the entire wall. Built-in wardrobes are cheaper than cabinet ones, since walls, floors and ceilings play the role of panels.

Different storage methods: mezzanine, drawers, shelves, bars

The internal design of the built-in wardrobe in the bedroom is characterized by high and deep shelves for storing large-scale bed attributes (pillows, blankets and blankets). Shoe stands can not be planned if there is cabinet furniture in the hallway. External consoles for souvenirs and photos will give comfort, decorate the interior of the bedroom.

Mandatory elements of the wardrobe

All sorts of shelves, mezzanines, stands, boxes, boxes, rods, cells, mobile pantographs, metal or plastic baskets allow you to rationally store things and clothes in cabinet furniture. When choosing filling elements, it is worth considering the needs and wishes of each of the household members.

In a wide wardrobe you can put all possible types of accessories

Shelves and drawers

Shelves and drawers are used to store bedding, towels, linen. It is convenient to place organizers with cells for underwear, tights, socks, belts, scarves, ties in drawers. Such boxes work smoothly, because they are equipped with roll-out systems.

Drawer pull-out mechanisms:

  • roller - the most primitive and economical version of moving guides.
  • metabox - a more modern type of construction, it represents two mobile sidewalls of the box, made of metal, moving along roller guides;
  • ball (telescopic) guides - the most advanced and frequently used mechanism. Allows you to push the box silently and to the end.

For furniture in the bedroom, pull-out baskets and nets are suitable instead of drawers. They allow the laundry to “breathe” and help you quickly find the right item due to their transparency.

Hangers

A hanger bar is built into the compartment that serves as a clothes storage. If the depth of the structure is sufficient (at least 60 cm), then the crossbar under the coat hanger is built in a horizontal position. This allows you to store more clothes.

In the case when the side walls are narrow, a transverse structure is fixed on the top panel of the cabinet, on which the trempels are hung perpendicular to the facade. Such placement is not always convenient due to the impossibility of quick access to clothes hanging from the back wall.

The modern wardrobe model is often equipped with such know-how as. This is a transverse hanger bar equipped with a lifting mechanism. In cabinets with sections to the ceiling, the mobile pantograph system allows you to lower things with a lever to any convenient level, depending on the height of the person. In expensive wardrobe models, the bar lowering system can be equipped with an electric drive, starting the mechanism by pressing a button.

When placing clothes rails, it is important to take into account their technical characteristics. The length of the beam should not exceed 1.2 m, otherwise it will require additional vertical support. It is advisable not to attach the bar directly to the walls of the compartment, but to leave a section of drawers or shelves between them - this will save the sides from deformation under the weight of the clothes.

Placement of things

A feature of the built-in wardrobe is deep sections for storing large-scale bedding (pillows, blankets, blankets).

In a small room, inside the closet, designers can fit a folding dressing table, a console for a TV, or a secretary that acts as a desk.

  • two cells, no more than 1 meter high for separate hanging of trousers and shirts on trempels;
  • a compartment with a crossbar for hangers, which acts as a wardrobe for wrinkled things;
  • for a complete set of underwear, hosiery, jewelry;
  • metal or plastic baskets for storing clothes (robes, pajamas, towels, wrinkle-resistant dresses, skirts). The mesh base promotes air exchange in the basket, due to which the linen does not lose freshness for a long time, and the transparency of the design allows, without pulling out the mesh, to determine the presence of the necessary thing inside.

There are many ideas for filling the wardrobe. When developing a project for future furniture, you need to rely on its expected functionality, material and appearance. Typically, furniture is made to order in colors that are typical for the intended room.

On the upper shelves it is better to store things that do not require frequent use: stacks of bed linen, outerwear (jackets, hats, hats), old household appliances that are a pity to throw away. At the bottom, it is convenient to place shoes.

It is convenient to keep underwear in drawers or on shelves in the organizer separately from hosiery (from the point of view of hygiene). The best way to store bras is unfolded, without stacking cups. This avoids deformation of the foam rubber. You can put in the underwear compartments.

Space zoning

The sliding wardrobe can combine several useful options:

  • storage system for linen, clothes, household appliances, jewelry;
  • release of additional space in the premises (15%);
  • external shelves for household appliances, electronics, decorations, souvenirs;
  • room zoning;
  • showiness (a beautiful mirror or glass facade, open shelves for arranging souvenirs, watches).

The cabinet can serve as the first assistant in zoning the space of the room. If there is a need to separate part of the room (sleeping area, children's corner or workplace) without redevelopment of the apartment, then the wall in the form of a closet to the ceiling will perfectly cope with this task.

Wardrobe-partition for separating the bedroom from the living room

With the help of well-placed furniture, you can create a visual effect of an improved apartment layout. But the partition in the form of a wardrobe has some disadvantages:

  • large dimensions of the structure;
  • low soundproofing ability;
  • production to order according to certain parameters of the room;
  • prevents sunlight from entering the room.

Dividing the nursery into two halves will help the partition from the closet. This will create a sense of their own space for each child, it will be possible to paint the walls to taste.

For boys, colors in coffee, beige and blue scales, sports paraphernalia are more suitable. For girls - light pastel colors, shelves with perfume, photo frames and souvenirs dear to the heart.

For men and women

In filling the closet, it is better to provide for a division according to the type of man-woman. It is necessary to take into account shelves, boxes, rods and other components, taking into account the characteristics of clothing for each gender.

For the male half, you can place two low cells: one for shirts, jumpers, the other for trousers, drawers for small items. Useful shelves for sports equipment, travel souvenirs and metal or plastic tie hooks.

The female half of the closet must be equipped with drawers for storing small accessories (scarves, scarves, stockings, belts, underwear). You can not do without a mirror and shelves for shoes, perfumes and jewelry boxes. If the configuration allows, you can build in a dressing table, pouffe.

When designing the filling elements of the wardrobe, it is necessary to take into account the number, age and gender of people. Children's shelves are best placed at the bottom of the cabinet at a height accessible to the child.

According to the frequency of use of things, three storage zones can be distinguished. It is better to fill the upper compartments with rarely required items and things (out of season). Cells and shelves of the middle section serve for daily used accessories and clothes.

The upper large compartments are great for voluminous things: pillows, blankets

It is convenient to store boxes with shoes and care items, sports equipment on the lower floor of the cabinet. In this case, it is better to use shelves of different heights, since the stored items vary significantly in size.

When choosing a wardrobe, it is necessary to take into account the wishes for the design and filling of the wardrobe of all family members. If the furniture is custom-made, before meeting with the designer, you should personally measure the walls and draw a diagram.

The fundamental parameters for drawing a drawing are the height, width and depth of the future coupe. Then the main sections are drawn (compartment with a bar for coat hangers, spacious shelves for bulky items, drawers).

Small details of filling the cabinet (shelves, cells, brackets, hooks) are thought out and applied to the diagram according to the residual principle. The drawing should show the dimensions of each filling element.

Filling examples

There are many ideas for the design and configuration of wardrobes. Budget options for filling are distinguished by large sections, transverse shelves, the absence of drawers, mesh cells, hooks and other fillings that will have to be purchased separately. The more details in the filling of the coupe, the more expensive its production will cost.
