How to choose a cabinet so that it not only harmoniously fits into your interior, but also lasts for many years. You will learn about all the subtleties and nuances from this article.
We choose a place.
First of all, we decide on the place where the future cabinet will be located. Most often it is placed next to the bed, sometimes in the corridor, if space permits, and some make redevelopment, combining rooms and freeing up a small space for a built-in wardrobe.
Decide on the location of the cabinet
Choose the type of door.
- Closet. The most common type of closet is the closet. The arrangement of its doors is reminiscent of the doors on a train.

- Doors.In the days of our parents, there were standard types of wardrobe. It only had doors.
Traditional wardrobe with doors
Pros: when we open the closet, we see everything that is stored in it.
Minuses: if your room is not ideal, then this will be reflected in the doors. The protrusions of the doors will be visible and will look crooked outwardly. If the cabinet is screwed incorrectly, the doors will also not fit perfectly with each other.
If this type of cabinet is made to order, then it will additionally need to be spent on handles.
Additional space is needed to open the cabinet door. If the cabinet is located closer to the window, then when the doors are opened during the daytime, the door will obscure the sun.

The next disadvantage is the fragility. From the frequent opening of doors, the mechanisms of the cabinet loosen over time, the door can fly off the hinges, make a creak.
- Sliding sheets.In addition to the closet, ordinary doors, there is also a type of door that is assembled with an "accordion".

For any interior, you can choose a ready-made cabinet
Pros: for a person, visual perception is important, to see and see live. Touch the material, see how many shelves are in the closet. Samples from showcases can be purchased at a discount.
Minuses: when creating, standard colors and sizes are used, which may not fit or be too small for an apartment. At the moment, during the construction of houses, apartments of a larger area are being made, and therefore the rooms are larger. A wardrobe with standard dimensions will be very small.

Using my own example, I’ll say that when we did repairs in the apartment, we immediately decided that the closet would be in our room and it would be made to order. It will be the entire width and height of the room.

For a standard small-sized apartment, there are not so many places where you can put a closet. The location was determined immediately, in a large room next to the bed. In addition, the full height and width of the room allows you to accommodate a lot of things for storage.
A custom cabinet can fit into any space
The option to buy a ready-made cabinet and change the parameters of an existing one was also not considered. Because they created an sketch according to the parameters where it would be most convenient to store outerwear, where there would be a hanger, how many doors per wardrobe. The color was chosen for the room (wallpaper, floor, bed), so that everything was in harmony with each other.
We didn't put the body on the back, because we didn't see the point in it and saved the family budget a little. When opening the cabinet, we have a view of the beautiful wallpaper.
Wardrobe to order where to start?
We start with the fact that in a special program or just on a regular piece of paper in a box we draw what we want to see in the future closet.
