How to choose a wardrobe for the bedroom

The sliding wardrobe is fundamental furniture. Its selection and installation are usually made for more than a dozen years, so when buying it, you must first study all the nuances so that the new purchase satisfies all your needs and does not create problems.

What indicators should a good wardrobe have?

When choosing a wardrobe, you need to be guided by main criteria, which are their differences from each other. These usually include:

• Form. According to it, they differ by type of location: built-in and not built-in. A free-standing cabinet has its own shape, which sometimes helps it act as a decorative element, but it happens that its walls and frame only make it look bulkier. The built-in one can be interestingly integrated into the overall interior of the room, while saving a lot of space. Many years of experience of companies in this matter is already enough to integrate such furniture into any room.
• Door opening mechanism. In this type, cabinets are divided into roller and monorail. The first mechanism is much cheaper, but less reliable, since if foreign objects get in or if the movement is too sharp, the rollers can slip out of the grooves.The monorail mechanism does not have this problem, but it is distinguished by its high price.
• Roller material. This item affects the durability of the rollers, as well as their cost. The price rises in direct proportion to the quality. The most durable and reliable wheels are made of metal, followed slightly by plastic coated with Teflon, and in last place is ordinary plastic.

Note: plastic wheels usually last no more than a year.

• Capacity. When choosing a wardrobe, it is important to determine the required usable volume. If you plan to store few things, then there is no need to purchase a large and bulky piece of furniture. Otherwise, it is better to buy one roomy one, since several small ones will take up more space.
• Profile of a sliding compartment system. It includes guide systems, grooves, a metal frame and other related elements. The systems differ from each other based on the material they are made of. Their products are durable and cheap, but very noisy when in use. Aluminum systems are higher in price, but they look interesting in appearance and are silent during operation.
• Door facade material. The finish can be any, that is, it can be chosen even for the most unusual design. But you shouldn’t overload it too much, as excess weight can cause the mechanisms to wear out faster.

Which wardrobe is better to choose for the bedroom?

A wardrobe can be installed in almost any bedroom. The only exceptions, as a rule, are those apartments that have a separate dressing room.

Configuration

To better organize the space, when buying a wardrobe for the bedroom, choose between the following configurations, following from the features of the room:

• rectangular;
• angular;
• radius.

Furniture with mirror panels is often purchased for the bedroom, as it significantly visually expands the room.

Important: it is not recommended to install a mirrored wardrobe close to the bed and opposite the front door.

Functionality

In the bedroom, a closet not only fulfills its original purpose of storing things, but it must also aesthetically fit into the room. It should be chosen to be roomy, or small in size, so that there is enough space in the bedroom for movement and relaxation.

Manufacturer

An important role when purchasing a wardrobe is the choice of manufacturer. When deciding on it, it is important to pay attention to the following nuances:

• how long has the company been on the market;
• presence of a central office;
• company scale;
• volume of sales;
• availability of guarantees;
• reviews from friends.

Which cabinet is better to choose based on user reviews?

Based on user reviews, preference is best given to a built-in cabinet with monorails and metal casters. However, this is a better option, but not the most profitable. But in itself it is not a very cheap piece of furniture, so it is not advisable to buy it for a year or two. It’s better not to save money and immediately purchase a durable and high-quality option so that you don’t have to replace it soon.
