Elite wardrobes in white gloss: interior decoration

A wardrobe is not only a place to store a wide variety of items: from clothes and shoes to dishes and books. Correctly selected color, shape and pattern can make it a real highlight of the interior. The glossy white model is a versatile option for decorating almost any room. For a room furnished in a modern style, a snow-white wardrobe with this surface will be the perfect finishing touch to complete the integrity of the composition.

Gloss white is just one of the color options for cabinets. However, due to the versatility of this classic color, it becomes perhaps the most successful choice for any type of room.

Here are just some of the advantages of such cabinets:

• The glossy white model looks good in a wide variety of interior styles.
• White is somewhat versatile and goes well with other colors. Several bright details, such as colored ornaments (for example, geometric, including abstract shapes, floral or stylized inscriptions), silkscreen or mosaic inserts on doors or walls will help fit the wardrobe into the overall image of the room and avoid monotony. In an interior made in dark or bright yellow, blue, turquoise shades, white can contribute to a spectacular play of contrasts.

• White color visually enhances the space, and gloss reflects the sun's rays. This is especially important for small spaces with low lighting. A wardrobe with mirrors will increase the effect of expanding the space and make the room even brighter.
• Great variability: on the market you can find cabinets in white gloss for every taste and wallet.

As is the case with any piece of furniture, the highest quality samples of cabinets in white gloss are produced at furniture factories for individual orders, taking into account the wishes of the customer. However, many design options and style solutions are available for the mass buyer as well.

Swing two- and three-door, sliding-door wardrobes, models on the whole wall and hinged mini-wardrobes - the choice of the appropriate option depends on the preferences of the consumer and the characteristics of the room in which the furniture is selected.

Unfortunately, despite all the advantages of glossy white cabinets, they are not devoid of some significant disadvantages that must be taken into account before purchasing glossy furniture:

• Firstly, the white color itself seems to attract a variety of dirt and dust, which means that in order to preserve its beauty and whiteness, you will have to wipe it several times more often than the same piece of furniture of a less “soiled” color.

• Secondly, it is worth preparing for the fact that the marks of fingers and hands will be clearly visible on the glossy surface, so you will have to handle the doors with caution.
• Thirdly, to care for a glossy surface, so as not to damage it, you will have to use expensive polishes, and the cleaning process itself should be as delicate as possible.

There are three main types of materials used to make glossy cabinets.

• Film. This is the cheapest and most short-lived option.The film is applied using a vacuum to the facades of a wide variety of chipboard and MDF cabinets and is easy to clean, but at the same time it does not withstand interactions with high temperature and humidity, starting to fade and peel off.

• Plastic - This is another common option for giving the cabinet facade a glossy effect. Plastic is also a relatively inexpensive material. Due to the peculiarities of applying it to a wooden base, cabinets with plastic coverings easily absorb moisture and may dry out over time. Although such a coating is difficult to scratch, if it succeeded, the only thing that will help in the restoration is reapplying the plastic. Fortunately, this material is quite durable.
• Enamel (varnish). The process of applying enamel is rather complicated and the most expensive, which also affects the price of products made using this technology. However, lacquered cabinets are the most environmentally friendly and resistant to mechanical damage. If they do appear, then the surface lends itself to easy restoration, which makes it possible to recoup the initially high cost.

Modern, classic or neoclassical - the glossy white wardrobe will be the perfect decoration for interiors made in these styles. You should not restrain your desire to experiment either.

Silkscreen inserts? Why not, because it will pleasantly diversify the solid white color and help the wardrobe to blend in with the atmosphere of the room. And it is worth adding a few round mirrors, and the hall of the apartment turns almost into the wheelhouse of a spaceship.

The main thing is not to forget that it is better to combine gloss with matte surfaces, and dilute the white color with bright details in the interior of the room. To accentuate the shine, wood and decorative stone are best.

A wardrobe is a piece of furniture that is needed in almost any room. In the bedroom, it is needed to store linen and books, in the corridor - for outerwear and shoes, in the kitchen - for dishes and household utensils. It doesn't matter if you choose a wardrobe in the hallway or in the living room. The main thing is to correctly choose its shape and size.

For the bedroom, wardrobes are more suitable, which will not distract attention from the true center of the room - the bed. A pencil case or a wall-mounted version, in which it is convenient to store dishes, will look great in the kitchen. In the hallway, it is better to choose a large roomy snow-white wardrobe, which will fit winter clothes and shoes of all households.

Before proceeding directly to the purchase, it is worthwhile to deal with the main types of cabinets and decide which model of what shape and size will be the most ergonomic in the room chosen for it.

For example, a cabinet wardrobe is suitable for spacious rooms - a kind of "box" that can be filled in accordance with your understanding. For rooms in which space is limited, it is better to choose a built-in wardrobe. The only drawback of this option is the inability to move it from place to place.

In a classic style, simple narrow cabinets with straight shapes will look best, and a corner copy will perfectly fit into a small room. Lovers of unusual shapes can turn their attention to radius cabinets that attract attention with their asymmetry.

As mentioned above, glossy white cabinets (due to the specifics of the material and due to the light color) are very easy to get dirty. To maintain their pristine whiteness and sense of cleanliness, you need wipe the surface at least once every couple of days, and besides, this should be done carefully.

In case of mechanical damage, it will not be very easy to restore the doors (or, as in the case of a film coating, it is completely impossible).And secondly, after cleaning with a dry cloth, the glossy surface is likely to become electrified and will begin to attract dust even more, so it is better to use a microfiber cloth during dry cleaning.

For wet cleaning, it is recommended to use mild detergents in order not to damage the glossy surface, as well as to avoid fading and stains. A solution of laundry soap or other non-abrasive products is best.

Do not use undiluted concentrated formulations, as they can severely damage the coating. In addition, it is worth avoiding products containing alcohol or chlorine, and it is absolutely impossible to use powders and hard sponges - the glossy surface will instantly be covered with scratches and cracks and will lose its shine.
