A comfortable wardrobe is an integral part of a well-furnished apartment. Its choice for a large room will not be difficult, however, in the case of a smaller area, the situation is somewhat more complicated. So that the size of the room does not become an obstacle to creating proper comfort, small cabinets were created that fit perfectly into the interior.

Advantages and disadvantages

Small-sized furniture may raise doubts about the advisability of such a purchase, but if the choice is approached wisely, its owners will certainly be satisfied.

The main advantages of small cabinets for clothes are able to smooth out their few shortcomings:

  • a small model can competently fit into a room even with the most modest area;
  • the cost of small furniture is several times less than its large counterparts, since much less resources are required for its manufacture, therefore such a purchase will be significantly more economical;
  • a variety of colors of small cabinets with all sorts of additional elements pleases the eye, allowing you to choose the most relevant and suitable option for your taste;
  • a compact wardrobe can increase the level of comfort if you carefully consider how it will be filled and, at the request of the owners, decorated.

The disadvantages of small cabinets include their size.

Stopping your choice on such a decision, you should clearly understand: too many wardrobe items cannot fit here. However, this disadvantage may not exist for those who do not need to put too many things in the closet of the chosen apartment.

Views

Buying a cabinet requires meticulous attention to detail. Before going to the store, you need to decide where it will be located and make all the necessary measurements. Already based on the results, you should choose a suitable small cabinet of one of the following types:

  • classical;
  • closet;
  • built-in;
  • angular.

Classic wardrobes - the most suitable option for a large room. Their main plus is their high capacity, as well as several compartments for different types of things at once. However, for a small room, such a solution can be used if the cabinet begins to take up as much free space as possible.

Wardrobes - some of the most popular and they justify this by many factors. Such a wardrobe has convenient sliding doors with a mirror, behind which shelves and sections for various items are hidden, guaranteeing good spaciousness. This furniture can be found in a variety of sizes, so for a small bedroom it will be possible to choose the most attractive one for a specific buyer.

Built-in wardrobes are extremely compact, so they can be an excellent, if not the only option for the smallest living spaces. Confusion here can only be that such a cabinet cannot be moved from the originally chosen place. Corner cabinets, as their name suggests, are installed in the corner. This design will really help save a lot of space, making the room more spectacular and more interesting.

Sizes and shapes

The rectangular shape is a well-established classic for cabinets, and their standard dimensions are 100x150x60 cm. These parameters are only initial, and if there is a great need, it is possible to order the size individually, having received a small or even a mini-cabinet.If the model is linear, it is positioned along the released wall.

The tallest cabinets for small-sized housing are a real salvation, since their height will allow you to make the most of the closet space and place as much clothes as possible.

Many buyers, deviating from the classics, choose a triangular shape, which has managed to gain no less popularity. This design requires a free corner in which it will bring maximum benefit to an inconvenient room in terms of size.

The capacity of such cabinets is really high, and in some cases it can be increased. When there is not too little space, a rational solution would be to replace the straight cabinet doors with radius ones. So, the area suitable for filling will expand, making the model many times more spacious.

Materials (edit)

Usually small-sized cabinet cabinets are made of chipboard, MDF and wood:

  • Chipboard considered the cheapest, but also less wear-resistant material. Cabinets from it are easily subject to fading due to the strong light of the sun or swelling caused by excessive humidity in the room. However, these disadvantages do not make chipboard furniture useless. Such lockers are ideal for a child's room, where over time you can make a replacement without much damage.
  • MDF has a much higher quality, but the cost of furniture made of this material will be higher. Such cabinets always look extremely aesthetically pleasing, and also have a lot of decorative elements in the form of glass and chrome details. Models from MDF will be able to serve their owners for a long and loyal service.
  • Wooden wardrobes are rightfully considered elite. The tree is characterized by the greatest wear resistance, durability and beauty. Wooden cabinets breathe and do not lose the pleasant aroma of wood for all the long years of their service. All these advantages have a correspondingly high price, therefore not everyone can afford such a luxury.

Colors

The choice of color depends solely on the preferences of the future owner of the cabinet. You can focus on the general style of the room for which the furniture is selected, or you can make an experiment by choosing something unexpected and different from the existing tone.

You don't have to deny yourself the joy of choosing your favorite color: thanks to modern technology, a wardrobe can be purchased in absolutely any shade, having found the planned one or stumbling upon one that you managed to fall in love with at first sight.

Styles

To one degree or another, all apartments have their own individual style. Each tastefully selected interior requires a certain selection of furniture. It is important to ensure that the cabinet correctly emphasizes the setting and does not look completely out of place:

  • Classic style possesses soft elegance. A wardrobe made of natural wood will perfectly fit here. Such an expensive material can be replaced with MDF, but with the presence of wood imitation. It is best to choose a calm tone.
  • Hi-tech style in the modern world it is very popular and if you want to adhere to it, you should pay attention to MDF cabinets in white or black, where a glossy film is used as a decoration.
  • For adherents vintage style models with a variety of carved monograms and handles that imitate antiquity with their gilding will turn out to be interesting. You do not need to bypass the side and varnish, if this does not contradict preferences.

Where to put?

The type of purpose of the room for which a small cabinet is chosen is also far from the last meaning. The product should be in harmony with the room, without causing any inconvenience during its operation:

  • In the hall It would be best to place a compact narrow cabinet, which is best placed closer to the front door.Since it is usually quite dark in the corridor, light shades will look good, and the presence of horizontal shelves in the closet can make it an ideal choice.

Spacious models in the corridor can simplify life, so it is there that it is desirable to free up as much space as possible for a wardrobe.

  • Small cabinets to the bedroom also must have a high level of spaciousness, since most of the things are often stored here. It is important to choose furniture with as many different departments as possible. A mirror on the cabinet door will also come in handy.
  • For the living room the functionality of the locker is the least important, so you can limit yourself to the most modest size. In a room of this type, it will rather play the role of decoration, so that in the first place in this case is its beautiful appearance.
  • When choosing furniture to the children's room it is necessary to correctly combine the concepts of small size and maximum spaciousness. Outside, the locker can be for children, however, inside it everything should be as serious as in the wardrobe of an adult bedroom: as much space and variety of shelves as possible.

How do I place things?

The correct placement of things is of great importance, especially when it comes to small wardrobes. It is necessary to arrange everything so that there is enough space, the items lie comfortably, and at the time of their removal, the wardrobe remains in order.

In order to achieve this order, there are three main areas to be aware of:

  • Lower. Being closest to the floor, she stores things that their owner uses the least often. Otherwise, there are shoes or, if there are drawers, underwear and other similar things.
  • Central. The middle zone is the most important, since it is most convenient to store essential items at this level. There is no better place for everyday clothes and there can be both shelves and drawers.
  • Upper. This area usually becomes a mezzanine. Its main function is to store seasonal items, which include knitted hats, umbrellas, gloves and other items that are not used constantly.

Beautiful options in the interior

When choosing a cabinet, it is important not to forget that it can be not only rectangular, but also angular. The second option can be ordered without any problems, having determined the exact parameters, and this will noticeably save not only space in the room, but also time for searches, nerves and strength. If you need a wardrobe in the bedroom, let it be closer to the bed, but separated from it, for example, by a bedside table.

It is also very important to place the closet in the corridor correctly - it should stand so that it is possible to get together as comfortably as possible to leave the apartment and return to it.

The closet can also serve as a semblance of dividing a room. If it is in a studio apartment, it will easily become a kind of "door" between the bedroom and the kitchen area, thereby delimiting them. However, this is only an option and it all depends on the buyer and the size of his home.
