The bedroom should be filled with freshness, tenderness, clean atmosphere, which is why many people prefer to design the bedroom in white colors. An integral attribute of the bedroom is the wardrobe, especially the sliding mechanisms are very popular. And if the owner wants the closet to be made in white, then before buying it is worth considering several nuances and treating the choice with all responsibility.
Features
The main feature of the white sliding wardrobe is the possibility of saving space. This is a universal piece of furniture that performs both practical and decorative functions. Sliding wardrobes have a convenient system of sliding doors, and also give the owner the opportunity to order the product according to individual sizes. Sashes can be made of any material. The design takes up minimal space in the bedroom, and the owner can adjust the location of shelves inside himself. And for the closet to serve as long as possible, it is important to choose high-quality fittings.
In addition to its practical function, it becomes the solution to several design problems. For example, a white cabinet is in good harmony with any color and can highlight other interior details, make them more clear and expressive. In addition, white furniture is often used in small rooms, as it visually increases the space and therefore is an excellent option for a small bedroom. Such furniture can also make dimly lit rooms much brighter. In addition, this piece of furniture is able to hide some defects in the walls and ceiling.
A sliding wardrobe of this color fits perfectly into almost any tone of the room, and also goes well with any textures. therefore successfully merges into a traditional or modern interior in the styles of classic, loft, minimalism, provence, art deco. With the addition of additional design elements to it, it is unlikely to look massive and clumsy. For example, you can decorate such a piece of furniture with golden or silver inserts - it will look luxurious. Many consider white furniture to be a brand, but in reality, dust and stains are much more noticeable on a dark surface than on a white coating, so a white cabinet can be called practical.
The only downside may be the recklessness of a white lover. Too carried away by the design of the bedroom in white tones, you can accidentally turn the room into a hospital ward. Therefore, it is important to learn how to use a white wardrobe in a properly designed sleeping room.
Varieties
Any sliding wardrobes can differ in their design. The following types are distinguished.
- Built in. Typically, such a cabinet occupies almost the entire space on which it is located. In fact, these are shelves and compartments closed by sliding doors. The walls, ceiling and floor become the lateral, upper, lower and rear boundaries. This type of furniture allows you to maximize the use of the entire useful volume, hide communications, for example, outlets that are not quite presentable in appearance.
But he has also disadvantages. So, the built-in closet cannot be moved, and in case of dismantling, the owner will have to additionally decorate the vacant space.
- Semi-built. In this case, one or more supporting parts are missing. For example, a wardrobe may not have a back or side wall. This design is allowed to be installed in a corner along the wall, and also with it you can simulate the missing opening or niche in the bedroom.
This variety is also problematic to move, since the cabinet frame can be attached to the wall.
- Case. The usual classic cabinet, which has a solid body - side walls, base and upper bar - and is usually located along the wall. When zoning a room, for example, in a studio apartment, this design can divide the living room and bedroom areas. In this case, the wardrobe will be across the wall. This option is good for its mobility, that is, it does not cause problems when moving or moving in the bedroom, it can be dismantled and assembled with your own hands. But it reduces the usable volume of the bedroom, which loses to the built-in structures.
But the fact that it does not occupy the entire space (below the ceiling of the room, does not fit snugly against the wall behind itself) can be attributed to its shortcomings.
- Angular. An instance that allows you to use the corner of the bedroom with benefit, where it is rarely possible to place other interior items. However, this option is difficult to assemble, especially if the case is solid, and this will require additional costs from the owners of the bedroom.
- Straight. A traditional wardrobe with a straight, straight facade. Its design is simple and versatile, but this is a slightly outdated model that does not fit every bedroom style. So, white direct sliding wardrobes are mainly used in classic design.
- Radius. A modern, stylish instance resembling an angular design, but its corner is rounded. The disadvantage is the high cost of the product, because for its manufacture requires complex mechanisms and non-standard facade doors.
Production is usually carried out only on individual orders.
- Modular. It is a design consisting of several modules, united by a common style. Allows you to change the overall architecture of the set. With such a sliding wardrobe, you can adjust the height or supplement it with additional elements, for example, equip with a podium, a visor, backlight.
Sliding wardrobes for a bedroom can also be divided according to their purpose. They are clothing, linen or combined. As a rule, linen closets inside are adjacent shelves for storing linen, clothing options allow you to store things in a hanging state, and the most popular and practical combined version has both clothes and linen sections.
How to choose
When choosing a white wardrobe, make a start, first of all, from the specifics of the sleeping room. So, for a small area, it is better to give preference to angular or radius structures. They will be placed in one corner, leaving the opposite corner free.
You can choose a product made entirely from one material, but most people are still more inclined to buy a copy with mirrors built into the door. This option is popular not only because of its aesthetic appearance, but also because of practicality. So, the woman will no longer need to buy a separate large mirror, since his functions will be performed by the cabinet door. In addition, mirrored surfaces will make the room brighter and visually more voluminous.
To make the wardrobe an accent in the bedroom interior, you can somewhat diversify its design. For example, order a product with frosted or plexiglass inserts - this element will ennoble a plain sliding wardrobe and make it more interesting from a design point of view.
White wardrobe can also be made in different colors. It can be a snow-white design or furniture with a milk or cream shade. An unusual technique for many modern styles is vivid illustrations on a white background, for example, a black and white version, a white cabinet with bright photo printing, delicate pastel abstractions on a light surface. The texture may also be different. For example, gloss will make the room fresher and brighter, and a matte surface will give the bedroom rigor and elegance.
The choice of material is determined by the financial means available to the buyer. Most often, for the manufacture of sliding wardrobes, MDF, wood base, veneer, chipboard are used.
Care
Sliding wardrobe in white is a great option for lazy housewives. Dust is not noticeable on it, the stains left after wet cleaning do not shine in the sun. However, you can’t do without cleaning at all, but you need to do this with some accuracy. For example, a specimen made from a natural solid wood can easily be ruined by using the wrong cleaning product. Therefore, you should find out with what means you can wipe the doors, walls and other elements of furniture, and then only use them when caring for wood. Easy care should be done 2-3 times a week. Once a month it is allowed to use varnishes for professional cleaning and aerosols, but do not overdo it with the amount, otherwise these agents may stain the coating.
If greasy spots appeared on the doors, then in order to avoid the negative impact of aggressive chemistry on the surface, you can turn to folk remedies. For example, tooth powder will allow you to cope with spots on a white coating. And also with undesirable marks on a snow-white background, chopped onions cope.
Avoid solvent-based detergents - after their application, streaks or streaks may remain on the surface. Do not clean the glossy polish with wax, it is better to use a microfiber cloth and ordinary soap. After wet cleaning, always wipe the cabinet surface dry. If the sliding wardrobe has mirrored doors, then look after them with a waffle towel and a special glass cleaner.
