Mirrored wardrobes for the hallway in a modern interior

The entrance area of ​​a house or apartment should be harmonious and functional. Mirrored cabinets perform both of these functions in a modern hallway interior. They allow you to rationally place things, visually making the room more spacious and bright.

Mirrors play an important role in the interior of the hallway. They allow you to evaluate your appearance before leaving the house, to fix your hair or headdress. However, the size of the corridor does not always allow you to hang a separate mirror on the wall. In this case, placing it on the cabinet door is the ideal solution.

The wardrobe, in turn, can contain not only clothes, but also any other things. A variety of models, shapes and colors allows you to choose a product for every taste.

Many buyers have already appreciated the advantages of cabinets with a mirror:

• Saving space. Such a cabinet not only eliminates the need to allocate a separate space for the mirror. Coupé models equipped with sliding doors do not require free space for opening them. And if you choose a built-in wardrobe, you can use the room as efficiently as possible.
• Functionality. The capacity of most cabinets allows you to place outerwear, shoes, accessories and many other things in them. Depending on the size and internal content of the product, you can store light clothes, toys and even household appliances in it. Such a wardrobe will be a salvation for owners of small apartments. At the same time, if the hallway is not sufficiently lit, you can install an upper visor with spotlights on the product.
• The beauty. No matter what interior style you prefer, you can find the cabinet model that's right for you. The range of manufacturers includes exquisite classic models, and ultra-modern options, and even romantic Provence style wardrobes.

Moreover, even the mirror itself can have any shape. This can be a mirrored sheet in the entire height of the cabinet or a small mirror decorated with a kind of frame. And photo printing, laser and sandblasting, art painting, stained glass elements and other techniques can turn furniture into a real work of art:

• Visual effect. Mirrored surfaces reflect light, visually expanding the space and making it brighter. This technique is especially useful for owners of small hallways.
• Availability. In the modern market, there are both elite expensive models and affordable options.

The following forms are distinguished:

• Straight. Straight line cabinets are the most popular. Such models look great in a hallway of any size.

• Corner. These cabinets are especially suitable for small square corridors. They take up space at the junction of two walls, allowing you to use it as efficiently as possible.

• Radial. This type of cabinet has an unusual shape. Models can be round, concave, and even asymmetrical (in the form of a wave). Interesting outlines of products add zest to the interior, making the hallway more elegant.

There are the following types:

• Wardrobes. The most popular type of wardrobes installed in the hallway is the sliding wardrobe. It differs from standard models in a sliding mechanism.The doors slide smoothly to the side, requiring no space to open them, expanding installation options and saving usable floor space.
• Swing. Models with doors swinging forward are purchased by owners of small apartments. If there is no room for a double wardrobe in the corridor, then a narrow pencil case with a mirrored door or a small corner cabinet can be a good solution.

• Combined. Some models combine two different types of opening. For example, the central module of a corner cabinet can be equipped with a hinged door, and the side part can include a sliding structure.

• Embedded. In addition to cabinet cabinets, there are also built-in models. Such designs are characterized by the absence of top and rear surfaces (and sometimes side walls). They completely occupy the space allocated for them at the stage of repairing the premises.

• Swivel. This unusual modern invention has already fallen in love with many buyers. A small narrow cabinet is fixed on special brackets. On one side, there are open shelves, and on the other, a solid mirrored facade. With one easy movement, you can turn the product, hiding its contents from prying eyes and turning it into a large mirror sheet. Thus, you save space in the hallway and get a convenient mirror that can be rotated at any angle.

At the moment, the following areas are common:

• Classic suggests elegance and discreet luxury. In such interiors, wooden models with swing doors or sliding wardrobes with imitation of swinging doors are appropriate. The classic in a modern interpretation allows for conventional sliding structures. The color range includes natural wood tones, as well as white, beige and black.

• Style provence also does not allow for too modern designs. Pastel colors (mainly white, beige and light gray), wood or its imitation, metal details in the shade of "bronze" - these are the characteristic features of furniture in this style. These wardrobes are simple but elegant. Carving and light patterns can be used as decoration.
• Wardrobes in style minimalism as laconic as possible. Usually these are mirrored wardrobes without drawings and other decor.

• Modern also applies to modern trends. However, this style allows for originality, unusual shapes, combinations of contrasting tones. If only the sash is mirrored, the rest of the product is usually made in natural wood shades (more often "wenge" or "beige") or bright colors. Such cabinets often have additional open shelves and hangers, and can be decorated with various patterns and decorative inserts.
• Models in style high tech and techno welcomes neutral cold scale (black, white, gray), chrome-plated metal. Such cabinets are either completely made of mirror cloth, or combine mirrors with glossy surfaces.

When buying, it is worth considering the size of the hallway and the very place that you are ready to allocate for the cabinet, its shape and area. An important point is the inner filling of the product. Think about what exactly you will store in the closet, which compartments (shelves, hanger bars, etc.) will be useful to you.

Choosing design and color, focus on the style of the interior of the room. Remember that if you make all the doors mirrored, then the effect of expanding the space will be larger. However, it is worth considering that mirrors reflect all furnishings.

If the corridor has a narrow elongated shape, it is better to place the cabinet along the short wall. In a square hallway, the best option would be to position the cabinet along the entire wall. If the doors of many rooms open into the corridor, only a small narrow cabinet will be appropriate here. The most successful place for him will be the area at the front door.

The original model featuring the Eiffel Tower is a great choice for a modern hallway. Red elements add spice to the product, making it a highlight of the room.

A built-in wardrobe with gilding and floral patterns fits perfectly into the luxurious baroque interior. The decorative frame disguises the product as a large picture, creating a single composition with the decor of the room.

For connoisseurs of understated elegance, a classic wardrobe in the shade of "walnut" will be an excellent choice. A small mirror allows you to make sure of the flawlessness of the image before leaving the house. An open hanger is a practical and convenient element.

The built-in model, completely made of mirror cloth, visually doubles the hall. This is facilitated by the laconic interior and the absence of unnecessary details on the opposite wall.
