What are the small wardrobes for clothes, and their features
The design project for a bedroom in most cases involves the installation of a comfortable wardrobe. It is quite simple for owners of large-sized housing to solve this problem, because the space of the rooms is quite large and it is not difficult to fit into a bedroom wardrobe. In the case of a small apartment, the question looks much more complicated. Further, what a small wardrobe should be like so that the issue of storing a personal wardrobe can be resolved even in small-sized housing.

Advantages and disadvantages
If the bedroom is not large, a small closet is suitable for it. If you approach the issue of choosing such furniture wisely, then even small-sized models will provide the user with high comfort, but at the same time they will be quite spacious, attractive in appearance.
We describe the main advantages of small lockers for clothes:
- the ability to fit the model even in a space essentially limited;
- affordable cost due to compact size. Since the manufacture of a small product requires not so much materials as in the case of a spacious large-sized cabinet, there is an opportunity to save some;
- a wide selection of colors, decorative elements for decoration allows you to choose a locker for a small apartment with a contemporary style and design;
- compact wardrobes are characterized by a high level of comfort, functionality, if you carefully consider their contents. The ability to equip the design with a backlight will also increase the level of product comfort.
The main disadvantage of furniture of this size is obvious: a low level of spaciousness. In a small closet you can’t put a huge wardrobe, but to ensure reliable storage of the most frequently worn items is quite real. If you order the manufacture of such an interior item on an individual project, you can take as a basis for its design personal preferences regarding clothing. For example, choose the actual height of the bar with hangers or select a zone for trousers.
Varieties
Today, the choice of cabinets in shape, size, design features and designs is very diverse. But for a small bedroom, not every model is relevant. We describe the best options that will endow a narrow space with high functionality, beauty, comfort:
- the design with swing doors looks attractive, luxurious, stylish. It is suitable for a spacious bedroom. Despite all the advantages of such furniture, it is not relevant for a small apartment, since doors when opening open require a lot of space;
- Radial wardrobe for bedroom has a fanciful design, a high level of spaciousness, but is expensive. Therefore, picking it up under a small bedroom can be irrational;
- small compartment wardrobes for clothes are suitable for this case more than other options. It does not matter how close to such a piece of furniture is other small-sized furniture. Opening its door will always be easy, convenient. To give the product the maximum level of capacity, it is worth choosing the highest cabinet for the bedroom. It will not be difficult to do this, as modern factories often offer customers models of non-standard heights. If you find a compact, but high option did not work, you can make it to order. It is convenient to store clothes in such furniture.
Production material
Wardrobes for clothes today are solid, durable furniture that can please the user with a high level of comfort. To provide products with such operational parameters, manufacturers use high-quality materials at work. We describe their operational parameters in detail.
Production material | Advantages | disadvantages |
Plywood | Lowest Cost, Lightest Weight | Short service life, low resistance to negative factors |
Chipboard | Affordable price, practicality, light weight | Average resistance to moisture, sunlight |
MDF | The average level of value, a wide variety of textures, colors, practicality, low maintenance | Swells under the influence of water, burns out after prolonged contact with direct sunlight, high humidity |
Solid wood | Naturalness, enormous service life, natural beauty, natural aroma (in case of use in the manufacturing process of coniferous wood) | High price, decent dimensions do not allow to install such furniture in a tiny bedroom |
For the manufacture of accessories for small cabinets in the bedroom, various metals, ceramics, wood, plastic, glass and other materials are used.
No less important is the technology with which the design is decorated. Today, even small-sized cabinets can be decorated with original sandblasting, mirrored doors, and MDF doors with elaborate textures.
Shapes and sizes
The classic shape of a bedroom wardrobe is a rectangle. Such products are manufactured in standard sizes: width - from 100 cm, height - from 150 cm, depth from 60 cm. But if necessary, you can make a variant with specific parameters of height, width, length. A linear model is installed along the free wall. For small-sized housing, it is worth choosing the highest possible cabinet (230-240 cm in height), which allows you to use the entire height of the room to place clothes, shoes.
An equally popular shape is the triangle. Such structures are installed in a free corner of the room and are characterized by high capacity, therefore they allow rational planning of such an uncomfortable space. If space allows, it is possible to equip such a cabinet not with direct, but with radius doors. This will allow us to somewhat expand the usable area, which means to increase the capacity of the model several times.
Filling
Clothes stored in a cabinet rationally retain their beauty and neatness for a longer time. Therefore, even in a very small bedroom, it is important to organize a wardrobe. To make it as functional as possible, it is worth identifying four zones for:
- clothes;
- shoes;
- accessories (bags, belts);
- underwear, socks.
When zoning the internal space of a structure into four zones, a person will be able to quickly find the thing that is relevant to him at a particular time.
If the bedroom is too small and the closet is selected for it, you will have to sacrifice one of these zones. Shoes can be stored in the hallway in a specially purchased shoe rack or in one of the hallway departments. The same applies to accessories that can be moved inside cabinets located all in the same corridor or living room.
It is irrational to refuse a zone with clothes, as well as a zone with linen and socks. The first is represented by shelves and a niche with a crossbeam and hangers on it, the second by pull-out drawers (separately for linen, separately for socks). T-shirts, T-shirts, sweaters, tracksuits are quite possible to store on shelves. Pants, dresses, blouses - on the shoulders in a niche with a horizontal bar. This will keep these types of clothes ironed, neat.
Posting Rules
If you have decided on the content and dimensions, it is important to understand where it is best to install the structure. Specialists in the field of interior design recommend the following rules. Remember that enough space is needed for the cabinet model with swing doors. In the case of a tiny room for sleeping, it is better to give preference to the option compartment.
Carefully examine the room where the closet will be installed. Take measurements of the space and evaluate the height of the walls. If the bedroom has a free angle, you can purchase an angular structure or install a linear model close to the wall with one side. You can also use the wall surface as one of the sides of the product. Such models are called built-in models and are made to order for a small space. This is a great way to create just such a cabinet that will fully meet the requirements of its owner.
If you have a small niche, you can use it to install storage systems with compartment doors. This is a great option to save on materials, because the function of the side walls and top cover of such a product will be performed by niche walls and ceiling. Also, this option will provide the user with the opportunity to rationally use the space of a niche, clothes in such a cabinet will be provided with reliable storage.
