Modern wardrobes are incredibly convenient, reliable, and functional. In addition, a competent choice of the type and design of the cabinet, depending on the possibilities of the room and the needs of its users, will provide maximum space for storing things, without changing the geometry of the room and without taking up extra square meters.

In this article, we will take a closer look at what modern wardrobes are like in terms of type, design, and style, so that you do not choose your new wardrobe "blindly", but can make an informed decision.

Types of wardrobes

Of course, you should start with the basics. There are three main types of wardrobes:

Body Classic cabinets

which are an independent structure from the upper, lower, and side walls. Such a wardrobe can be moved, disassembled, and assembled in another place - this is an important advantage. However, the disadvantage of a cabinet is that a lot of dust can collect between it and the wall, or mold can form, which is quite difficult to remove.

Built-in Cupboards

the walls of which serve as the walls of the room, as well as, possibly, the ceiling and floor of the room. Their advantage is that such designs fit into the geometry of the room as harmoniously as possible, often occupying niches or corners, hiding behind a false wall. The disadvantage is that such furniture cannot be moved to another apartment or even moved within the room.

Semi-built-in

Such cabinets use the walls or ceiling as part of their structure and are built into them. It is an ideal solution for rooms with non-standard geometry, which helps to balance the space and use "not the most convenient" square meters for storage. Semi-built-in wardrobes have the disadvantages of built-in structures: they cannot be moved or installed in another room.

Designs of wardrobes

Structurally, the following main types of wardrobes can be distinguished:

Rectangular (standing separately)

Classic wardrobes, which we are used to. They are installed along the wall, built into niches and false walls. This is a traditional solution for rooms with a standard geometry and enough space to accommodate a full-fledged wardrobe.

Angular L-shaped (radius)

Such wardrobes consist of two parts located perpendicular to each other, each of which is equipped with a pair of sliding doors. One of these parts can be equipped with only one door - sliding with a drive-in to the side wall or rock-curved.

Corner (triangular and diagonal)

In these cabinets, the door is located between two side walls at an angle to them. They take up more space than L-shaped but also provide more storage space inside. Such a wardrobe will take up the entire corner, but it will be cheaper due to only two walls and a pair of doors.

Trapezoidal (beveled) 

These are wardrobes, which are usually installed in small rooms near the door or passage and therefore have different widths of the side walls. Outwardly, such a cabinet is practically no different from a regular rectangular one, but a smaller wall allows free passage or frees up the necessary space for a door.

Styles of wardrobes

A wardrobe is a large interior item that will most likely become its accent element. Therefore, the style of this furniture will play not the last role in the choice. Modern wardrobes can be made in such styles as:

Minimalism

Natural materials, laconic design, basic color scheme. As a rule, these are small cabinets without any additional decor - they fit perfectly into any interior and do not visually overload the space.

Provence

Also natural materials, but at the same time rich decor in the style of the French province, plant, and rural motifs. Cozy pastel shades prevail here, which fit perfectly into a warm home interior.

High-tech 

means practicality and functionality. The facades of such wardrobes are made of glass, metal, and plastic, combining matte and glossy surfaces and various materials and textures, and the most modern mechanisms are installed inside them.

Japanese 

Style is characterized by the simplicity of forms combined with spectacular decor. As a rule, Japanese-style wardrobe doors are decorated with photo printing with thematic images. Such furniture is ideal for a bedroom, living room, and dressing room.

Art deco 

Is a classic that gravitates toward luxury: expensive materials, saturated shades, and elegant accessories. Such a wardrobe will become an exquisite decoration of the interior and emphasize its expansiveness.

Modern

Natural materials, stained glass, light color scheme, natural motifs. Furniture in this style is made of natural wood and decorated with soft, rounded glass inserts. Stained glass windows and glass printing in natural beige and gray shades look great.
