Narrow wardrobe

Today it is very easy to put together a stylish and modern interior. In specialized stores and shopping centers, a huge amount of furniture is sold in various styles and designs. In recent years, spacious wardrobes have been in great demand, which can be installed both in the corridor or living room, and on the balcony or in the bedroom.

Narrow options look best in the hallway. Such rooms are often small-sized, so a small cabinet is perfect for them. Such cabinet furniture will not block the passage.

Of course, the closet can be placed anywhere else. Small dimensions will make it possible to put it even in small living quarters.

As a rule, narrow wardrobes have a filling that differs from standard and wide options. They contain more compact shelves and drawers.

If you correctly manage the internal filling of the cabinet, then 40% more things will fit in it than in an ordinary medium-sized wardrobe or a wall of similar dimensions.

Often, such pieces of furniture are placed in children's rooms. You can fit all children's things in them, but they will not interfere with this. Nothing will detract from the free space that an active and energetic growing body needs so much.

The wardrobe will be an excellent option for a room in which there are niches. Furniture can be built into them. So, you will perfectly beat the space, and significantly save space.

Often, the owners of such sliding wardrobes experience some disappointment. They argue that the capacity of narrow and shallow models leaves much to be desired, but the area of ​​the apartment does not allow them to purchase a more impressive copy. This drawback is purely individual, so this does not mean that a narrow wardrobe will not suit everyone.

Modern wardrobes with a depth of 40 cm are different. Each copy has its own characteristics.

Case-type models are found more often than all others. They can be called universal with confidence. They take up more free space. In such variants, all the necessary elements are available: panels, back and side walls.

You can save free space using a built-in type product. Such models have only front sliding panels. Lateral parts are less common in them. Such instances can be installed against the wall or built into niches, if any.

No less popular today are semi-built-in wardrobes. Several parts are missing in these designs. For example, it can be a back or side panel.Such pieces of furniture are distinguished by a democratic cost, so many consumers will be able to afford them.

Narrow wardrobes can have various designs. Let's consider them in more detail.

A sliding wardrobe with a depth of 40 cm can have a classic rectangular design. Such models consist of two, three or more sliding panels. As a rule, the size and number of these parts directly depend on the area of ​​the room.

L-shaped corner products are very popular today. They consist of two halves located in the corner and facing each other.

There is another type of corner wardrobe - a triangular-shaped model. Such specimens have a triangular structure at the base. Such furniture is installed in the corner, which is then "cut off".

Models in which the front sides and facades are not at right angles are called trapezoidal. In such specimens, open valves are often found on the lateral parts.

Arc and radius sliding wardrobes are in demand. In them, the facade is distinguished by a non-standard wave-like shape. Such models appeared on the market not so long ago, but have already gained enviable popularity among consumers.

Also, in stores you can find narrow cabinets made from different materials:

• The most common and demanded are chipboard models. Such products are the most successful in terms of price and quality ratio. They contain pressed pieces of wood with different dimensions. These elements are bound by formaldehyde resins, from which fumes are harmful and hazardous to health.

• Fiberboard products are no less popular. Similar raw materials are also made from pressed wood waste, but paraffin, resins and other strengthening impurities are added to them. This material is most often used for the production of back walls and various interior components.

• Another common material is MDF. It contains wood fibers glued with synthetic substances. MDF is classified as a progressive material, so such a wardrobe will cost more than the above options.

• Models made of natural wood have an unsurpassed appearance. They are environmentally friendly, absolutely safe and durable. But such copies will cost the buyer a tidy sum.

In the standard version, narrow wardrobes with a depth of 40 cm consist of three parts:

• The main part is the middle part. Shelves and hangers are located in this area. This area usually contains the largest amount of items.
• The lower part is for storing shoes.
• The upper part is reserved for hats and various accessories. Also, there you can store things that you do not use often.

A narrow wardrobe will easily fit into almost any interior:

• A beautiful built-in or cabinet-type wardrobe is suitable for a cozy bedroom. Such options can be installed in niches or close the wall with them. Often, for a more complete ensemble, such models are decorated with vinyl films that match the interior.

• It is worth purchasing a built-in or semi-built long wardrobe in the hallway. It does not take up much space, which is very important in narrow corridors.

• For a small room, long and narrow models of both built-in and semi-built-in or cabinet types are suitable. It all depends on the specific area of ​​the room.

Sliding wardrobe can be made independently.

To do this, you need to decide on the materials from which you want to create furniture and stock up on the following components:

• Side wall;
• Internal partitions (their number depends on the number of doors);
• Narrow wood strips to give a more complete look to the whole structure;
• Shelves and mezzanines;
• A special box for the upper door rail.

First, load-bearing walls are installed along the perimeter. The opening should be trimmed with an edging made of chipboard sheets. After that, the frame must be attached with dowels to the ceiling, floor and wall. You can connect the parts to each other using corners. For fasteners, you can turn to special Euro screws, for which you need to prepare holes in advance.

After that, you can start installing the shelves. This can be done using corners, but such mounts look unaesthetic. Confirmators would be a good option, but you need to use them in places where no one will notice them.

Then you should start assembling the doors. Good sliding designs are produced by firms such as Versailles or Laguna. You will need canvases with aluminum profiles on all sides.

Before installation, it is necessary to beat off the horizontal profiles and vertical handles with a rubber mallet. The top and bottom rollers must be inserted in front of the final brace. A door stopper must be installed in the area of ​​the lower rail.

The first and second doors must be carefully inserted into the top and bottom rails. There should be no gaps between them. To do this, you can refer to the buffer tape.

A more detailed process for assembling the wardrobe is discussed in the following video:

• A light wardrobe with mirrors and built-in shelves will harmoniously look against the background of beige or cream walls, a beautiful laminate and a white ceiling with a large and bright lamp.

• A narrow built-in wardrobe with pink doors and a mirror is suitable for a children's room. It will be combined with a computer desk with drawers of the same color, light yellow walls and a light ceiling with built-in lights.

• In a light bedroom with a soft brown floor and a dark double bed, you can place a cream-colored wardrobe with dark door frames and a mirror. As a result, you will get a pleasant and unobtrusive contrast.

• A tall black and white wardrobe will look great in a dark brown Japanese-style living room with light laminate flooring and a white ceiling.
