The entrance hall meets us when we come home and escorts us when we leave on business. Here we meet guests and say goodbye to them. As they say, a person is greeted by clothes - so the apartment is greeted by the hallway. Often this part of the apartment has a very limited area, and in order for outerwear and shoes not to get underfoot, sometimes you have to seriously break your head.
Therefore, all the furniture in this room should be compact and as functional as possible. An important role in the atmosphere is played by the closet in the hallway. It should be roomy, at the same time taking up a minimum of space. For any layout, you can choose a model that fits perfectly into the interior.
The designs of this piece of furniture are usually divided into cabinet and built-in. The first type is a one-piece structure that can be moved freely. The second option, according to its name, is built into the wall and consists of doors connected to a fastening system. The absence of walls makes it much cheaper, but requires certain planning nuances. Photos of cabinets in the hallway of various designs can be found on the Internet.
The internal filling of the cabinet (the number and location of shelves, drawers, sections) must be chosen, taking into account the characteristics of the room and the number of things that are supposed to be stored in it. Today it is not difficult to buy a custom-made model, taking into account all the wishes.
Spacious and ergonomic corner cabinet will fit into the hallway of any size. If it has a square or close to it shape, this option will be optimal.
The corner model, depending on the characteristics of the room, can ideally fill a niche in the wall. Doors are selected sliding or hinged. Do not forget that the sliding mechanism requires additional space, so the owners of cramped hallways should opt for a narrower cabinet.
The corner wardrobe is usually divided into sections: the closed part is designed for outerwear, and the open part includes shelves, drawers and additional hooks. They can store hats, keys, umbrellas and other little things. A large drawer is built into the lower part for storing shoes. The depth is usually 60-70 cm.
They are made from popular furniture boards: chipboard (chipboard), fibreboard (hardboard) and MDF. For decoration use high-quality fittings, glass, mirrors, metal.
One of the best solutions for the hallway is a closet. Built into the wall, it will harmoniously fit into the interior, visually occupying a minimum of precious space. In addition to rods for outerwear, it necessarily provides shelves, a shoe box and small drawers for storing hats and accessories. If space permits, you can add compartments for a folded stroller, children's bike, sled or vacuum cleaner.
The depth of the cabinet is usually 60 cm, but you can purchase an option with a smaller depth. If necessary, lighting is provided inside.
The design of the cabinet can be the most diverse: a mirrored facade, photo printing, imitation of stone or wood in a color suitable for the setting.
The material can be real wood, usually oak or pine, or a more budgetary chipboard. Additional decor is made of plastic or glass.
Cabinets reminiscent of pencil cases with closed facades are cabinet one-piece cabinets that will look good in spacious hallways. The door opening mechanism here is not sliding, but hinged - in a narrow and cramped corridor it will not be the best choice.
The main advantage of the design is that the internal filling is hidden behind the doors. Firstly, it protects things from dust and dirt, which inevitably enters the apartment from the street, and secondly, there is no need to maintain impeccable order where no one will see it.
Made of solid wood, decorated with wrought iron fittings and carvings, it will perfectly complement the interior of your home in a classic style. A more concise design will suit a minimalist modern interior.
The decision to use an open front is a great choice for a closet in a small hallway. It takes up minimal space and is very easy to use. Open models are similar to closed-type counterparts, but without doors.
For him, you do not need to take into account the additional space for opening the doors, as is the case with sliding or hinged doors, and to take the jacket, just reach out and remove it from the hook. At the bottom of open-type models there is space for shoes, and along the side walls there are boxes for small items and accessories.
The big disadvantage is that things are always in sight, which makes it difficult to maintain order and at the same time increases the requirements for it.
A closet in a niche is certainly one of the most practical in terms of space saving. If the layout of the room provides for a special niche, consider yourself lucky. Hidden, it not only becomes a continuation of the wall, but also saves maximum space in the corridor. If desired, it can be embedded so that it will not be noticeable at all.
If the builders did not foresee a niche, you can artificially create the impression that it exists. For this, a special frame is built, the side walls of which are finished in the same way as the other walls of the room.
Having a place to sit makes the process of putting on shoes much more pleasant. It is more convenient to lace up boots or sneakers, to put on high boots, if there is a place to sit down during this activity. Depending on the available space, you can choose a suitable chair or pouffe, but more often you have to do this while leaning against the wall.
The design of this cabinet already provides a place where you can sit with relative comfort. It usually has an open front, and the seating area is both a shoe box and located under the coat hooks.
A hallway with a closet always looks neater than just hanging jackets. Depending on the goals that this piece of furniture faces, the available funds and the features of the room in which it will stand, the requirements for size, depth, number of drawers and shelves, and type of construction change.
The built-in type due to the lack of walls is suitable for those who are limited in finances. In addition, it will save space. Lighter finishes will help visually expand the space, while darker finishes look spectacular and fit free spaces.
The classic depth of the cabinet is equal to the width of the hanger (60-70 cm), but if you place the bar not along, but across, you can reduce it by 20-30 cm. Inside, if the depth allows, lighting can be done.
Mirrored doors are not only convenient due to the fact that they allow you to immediately evaluate the appearance, but also help to visually expand a small room.
Special attention should be paid to fittings - they must be strong enough to withstand the weight of heavy winter jackets. The best choice would be metal fittings from European, especially German, manufacturers. Which sliding door rail to choose is a matter of taste, but you need to remember that the bottom rail type is cheaper and has a simpler design than the top rail type.
A very convenient option is when part of the cabinet is closed by a facade, and part is not: you can remove unnecessary things inside, leaving only the most necessary things outside. The upper part can be turned into spacious mezzanines for storing rarely used items.
Lovers of cute little things will love a small shelf on which they can be beautifully arranged. Another shelf can be used for keys, newspapers or a landline phone.
When choosing a material, you should pay attention to models made of solid wood. This option is more expensive, but has increased strength and luxurious appearance. More affordable material can be refined according to the tastes of the owner.
The wardrobe, being a piece of furniture, must fit harmoniously into it. To do this, modern manufacturers offer a huge selection of models made in a variety of styles: these are carved facades in the Baroque style, and plastic trim, and ornate Arabic patterns. With patience, you can choose a model that is ideal for any environment and preferences of the owner.
Different peoples created furniture and of course gave it a different name in their own language. The range of furniture is characterized by great complexity and diversity.

In every apartment or house you can see a closet, and sometimes more than one. It is impossible to imagine how things would be stored today if people in the 17th century had not come up with a convenient way for this. At first it was a small chest of drawers with several shelves, but over time you can see how radically its design has changed. Today it is quite roomy and neat furniture, without which it is simply impossible to do in modern life.
Spacious and ergonomic cabinets today allow you to save space thanks to multifunctional modules. Clothes, underwear, books and other things can be neatly placed on the shelves without any problems, freeing up the space of the room. Many models even have additional functionality in the form of a built-in table or bed. The design and construction characteristics of cabinets today are simply innumerable, each buyer can choose furniture that matches the overall interior of the room or is suitable for personal needs.
For each room there is a certain type of cabinets:
In general, the choice of furniture depends not only on the location, but also on its ability to provide convenient storage.
When buying furniture, much attention should be paid to its functionality, since it is rather difficult to choose a wardrobe that fully meets the wishes. It is not always possible to predict in advance what exactly will have to be put into it, therefore, the more shelves and drawers there are in it, the more practical the furniture itself will be.
According to the method of arrangement, cabinets are freestanding (when the furniture does not depend on another set or walls) and built-in (when the structure is directly connected to the room and part of it rests on the walls). Modern types of cabinets are striking and can lead to a dead end when choosing a model, so you need to buy furniture in accordance with its purpose:
Traditionally, wood is used to make cabinets. Often preference is given to oak or mahogany, as these materials are durable and environmentally friendly. But the cost of natural wood furniture is quite high, so many people try to choose a cheaper model made from:
When wondering which cabinet is better to choose, it is worth considering the financial capabilities and purpose of the furniture, but it is still better to give preference to models made of natural wood.
The frame of a free-standing cabinet includes several main elements in the design:
When choosing such furniture, you need to pay attention to the fasteners of all parts of the frame. Poor-quality parts can compromise the stability of the entire structure, causing furniture to wobble, doors to creak, and wood panels to crack over time.
Almost all models of cabinet furniture have a depth of 60 cm, and their height varies from 210 to 240 cm. The average width of one leaf is 50 cm. The standard dimensions followed by most manufacturers make it difficult to choose the right model. If, for example, you need a wardrobe 130 cm long, then it is unlikely that you will be able to find a model with such dimensions, so you will have to opt for standard furniture 100 cm long with two doors.
Modular models somewhat facilitate the solution of the problem. Having the same components of the case, they are made from small blocks of different sizes, so the buyer himself can choose the appropriate modules by lining them up in a convenient order.
As for built-in wardrobes, they are often installed in a niche and can only have a front part in the form of decorative doors. Sometimes a “conditional” niche is built in the corner of the room, when the load-bearing walls of the room act as two sidewalls for the dressing room, and the other 2 are built from wooden slabs.
Regarding the shape of the cabinet, here manufacturers are able to satisfy almost any request:
Wardrobe doors can be opened in different ways.
Models with two or three wings are considered popular today, although their maximum number in some models reaches 4 or even 5.
The facade of furniture is its “face”, which needs special attention. To decorate the doors today, all kinds of materials with different types of decoration are used.
Although the back wall of the cabinet is not visible, it plays an important role in its design. Attention must be paid to the method of its attachment.
From all the above, the conclusion follows: in order to choose a cabinet with high stability, you need to pay attention to its back wall, it should have as few fasteners as possible.
The more functional modules will be in the cabinet, the more convenient it will be to use. The standard furniture content includes shelves that allow you to conveniently sort and fold clothes. But shelves alone are often not enough, so the furniture is equipped with additional modules:

First you need to know that the wardrobe is an independent unit. The sliding wardrobe can be located in any room of your house. There are a large number of models of such cabinets, and their dimensions can always be adjusted to the desired dimensions.
So, the wardrobe is distinguished by its design. There are built-in models and there are cabinet wardrobes.
In most cases, the buyer prefers a built-in wardrobe. This is a model that is located in a niche or wall of the room. These cabinets do not have a frame. Built-in wardrobe has no side walls, ceiling.
And a completely different thing is a cabinet wardrobe. This model is a stand-alone piece of furniture. Such a cabinet is equipped with its own frame and can be located anywhere in the room and even play the role of a dividing wall in large rooms or offices.
A few important points:
It is worth noting that the built-in wardrobe is much cheaper to buy.
It can be placed in any form of niche or semi-niche. In such a cabinet, there are no auxiliary frame parts, which significantly reduces the price of its price and makes it possible to use its entire useful volume to the maximum.
The main disadvantages of "embedding" is not strong enough construction. This is due to the fact that the built-in wardrobe lacks some panels, and the wardrobe itself is fixed on the wall.
It is important to know that wardrobes are not recommended to be attached to walls that have plasterboard finishes. In this case, the wall may not withstand a large load.
The sliding wardrobe system consists of:
Door frame made of steel or aluminum guide (rail).
the profile is the detail that makes up the design of the door frame. In addition, the aluminum profile of the cabinet doors often acts as a wardrobe handle.
At the moment, two types of sliding systems are used in the assembly of wardrobe structures. They differ in the metal from which the profiles are made, these are steel and aluminum structures.
The steel profile is made of stainless steel; in some cases, cabinet doors, rails, and frames are also made from this metal.
It is worth noting that it is stainless steel that is the most optimal option for the manufacture of wardrobe structures. This metal is quite hard and has high strength, in addition, it is one of the most durable metals.
Do not forget that when using a steel structure for the manufacture of a cabinet, it is necessary to take into account the dimensions of its doors (cloths). Door sizes should not exceed the generally accepted limits, otherwise a sufficiently large canvas can “play” if such a leaf is used in a steel sliding system. In this case, the use of finishing materials for finishing such door facades is only permissible in the horizontal direction.
The same cannot be said about aluminum systems. This is a relatively thin-walled extruded metal from which the profile is made. At the same time, it is a very rigid structure, which makes it possible to carry out the facade of the wardrobe doors in combined versions, regardless of the direction in which its decoration will be located.
It is important to pay attention to the fact that the design of the sliding wardrobe doors takes about 8-10 cm of depth from the useful cabinet space.
Chipboard- This is a chipboard. This material is the main material for the production of modern furniture. The boards are made by pressing small particles of wood, which are mixed with organic binders and pressed under high pressure and high temperature.
Rattan- This is a more exotic material that is made from tropical vines. Such plates are used to finish the front side of the facades of wardrobes and these plates are wicker rattan.
Bamboo- this is also a decorative material, which, like rattan, is used as a decorative material in the manufacture of front facades of wardrobe doors.
Mirror- this is glass covered with a reflective film or coating, which is also used in the manufacture of the front side of the facades of wardrobes. This mirror is 4mm thick.
Mirror-bronze- this is the same mirror, only it has a slightly darkened glass and a reflective coating with bronze gothliv. The thickness of such a mirror is the same and is 4 mm.
Mirror graphite- such a mirror has only slightly darkened glass. The thickness of such a mirror is also 4 mm.
Patterned mirror- most often on such a mirror the pattern is applied using sandblasting or paints. In the case of applying a drawing with paints, the drawing can be multi-colored, while the drawings made with the help of sandblasting are matte and remain so throughout the entire time.
Lakobel (LACOBEL)- is an opaque glass with a fairly diverse range of colors. One of the sides of such glass is covered with paint of a certain color. The surface of this glass is specially treated for better adhesion to the varnish. Color coated glass provides better dispersion of softer and more even sunlight.
The fact that the main material in the production of sliding wardrobes is chipboard is justified. The use of such material is quite reliable and inexpensive.
In the manufacture of doors (facades) of cabinets, mirrors are most often used. Sliding wardrobes with a mirror on the back side have a special protective film, which ensures high safety in the operation of the wardrobe.
The ease of use of a sliding wardrobe directly depends on how high-quality and thoughtful its filling will be, its functionality also depends on this.
Here is a list of the main details that can make up the filling of the wardrobe:
So, we have brought you the main component parts that are used for internal filling of wardrobes to order.
There are also other additional equipment for filling wardrobes. This increases the ease of use of the cabinet, but it is worth knowing that this significantly increases the cost and timing of the manufacture of this type of furniture.
When setting up a new office, you should consider the location of furniture for storing clothes for both office employees and customers. All kinds of hangers have long lost their popularity and will only spoil the interior design of the room. In recent years, an office wardrobe has been in great demand, which is distinguished by a variety of designs and modifications.
The main purpose of office wardrobes is to place the outerwear of employees and visitors in them. Quite often they contain a changeable uniform, suits for holding important or solemn events, negotiations, business meetings or conferences.
Some personal belongings of employees (handbags, briefcases, perfumes, cosmetics, umbrellas) can also be located here. When choosing a wardrobe for the office, it is recommended to opt for deeper models, which provide enough space for placing crossbars or hangers on which you can freely place outerwear. Some products are equipped with special mechanisms that can change the position of the hangers from front to side, which is a very convenient factor.
Wardrobe office cabinets have a number of advantages:
With all the variety of models of modern office cabinets, they can be divided into the following main types according to their design:
The most functional model is a double-leaf office wardrobe, which allows you to place things and clothes that are not needed so often. It gives the office and the entire interior a harmonious, complete look. Each of the two branches serves a specific purpose.
A double-leaf wardrobe today has a variety of modifications, so it will not be difficult for a buyer or customer to choose the most suitable option for a specific purpose and premises, a finished product or a custom-made one. Models with mezzanines are popular, creating additional storage space for wardrobe items or other items, as well as combined double-leaf cabinets, which consist of shelves, sections, drawers. Such cabinets often have outdoor shelves that perform a practical function, while at the same time they significantly improve the design of the office interior, giving it an individual touch.
Closed
Combined
Open
In the manufacture of office wardrobes, the choice of materials used is very large.
The most common and optimal in terms of price and quality material for manufacturing is MDF and chipboard. At the same time, a product made of MDF is more environmentally friendly, although chipboard is cheaper. When choosing a material, it is necessary to study the environmental label. E1 marking corresponds to the highest material safety class. If the humidity in the room is high, it is preferable to use chipboard, as it is more moisture resistant.
Wooden furniture looks richer and more massive. But the most environmentally friendly, durable, beautiful material is also the most expensive. The price of the product depends on the type of wood used. Hardwoods (walnut, ash, maple) require complex processing. The price of the finished product will be higher than that made from less hard rocks (the softest ones are spruce, pine, hornbeam, birch, cherry, oak will be harder).
Wooden office furniture should be coated with a special compound that prevents the material from swelling in conditions of high humidity or prevents drying out in an excessively dry atmosphere.
A strong but heavy material, which is mainly used in the manufacture of cabinets that carry the greatest weight load (for example, archives with documentation). In the manufacture of office wardrobes, metal is used in combination with other materials: a metal frame is made of it, and panels are made of laminated chipboard. Products are quite durable, modern look. Aluminum or steel profile should be used.
Sliding door wardrobes (compartment wardrobes) have plastic or metal rollers. The latter are preferable, as they will last much longer than plastic ones, although metal is more expensive.
It is used rather as a decor, since glass is a rather fragile material and is not suitable for active use due to the high risk of damage. Spectacularly decorated shelves or doors will look more appropriate in the manager's office, and not in the rooms for ordinary employees.
Decor elements are made of transparent, tinted, mirror or frosted glass. At the same time, they can have relief, etched or other drawings, patterns. Externally, the glass goes well with plastic, chrome-plated metal, wood.
Plastic is used in the manufacture of shelves or certain parts (rollers, handles, shelves, drawers), it is often combined with wood and metal. The plastic itself is cheap, but not strong enough.
The selected type of material also depends on the purpose of the part of the cabinet where it will be applied. About profiles, rollers, shelves mentioned above. A separate issue is the facade of the cabinet. Its main distinguishing feature is practicality. Often it is pasted over with a laminate made under a tree with veneer. The laminate looks quite attractive, it is strong enough, resistant to mechanical, temperature influences, it is not afraid of high humidity.
You can veneer the facade of the cabinet with leather, acrylic, decorate with prints. But these more expensive options are not quite suitable for ordinary offices.
When choosing a particular model, it is necessary to take into account the area of \u200b\u200bthe room itself. The closet should be given a minimum space, it should be roomy, located so as not to interfere with the movement of employees and customers. Its size should be calculated from the total number of employees. Sometimes it is more expedient to purchase not one bulky double-leaf office wardrobe for clothes, but a couple of smaller models.
Office wardrobes in their form can be:
Linear
U shaped
An important role is played by the doors, more precisely, the way they are opened, according to which they distinguish:
A few words about the handles on the doors. It can be a traditional format ("brackets", "drops", "buttons" or other). The PUSH-PULL system has been quite popular lately, when there are no handles: you need to lightly press the panel - and the doors are open.
Sliding
swing
The ideal office wardrobe is equipped with:
However, the specific content of the cabinet depends on the size of the room and the product itself, the number of employees (visitors), the purpose of the cabinet and some other factors that should be carefully considered in advance.
There is a general rule for placing office wardrobes - they are located near the wall near the door, as they serve for general use and should not interfere with staff and customers.
The cabinet should be combined with the general interior of the room according to:
It is necessary to take into account the general fullness of the room with various pieces of furniture. To date, office furniture is so diverse that it requires a serious and careful attitude to its choice. Properly selected and arranged furniture provides not only comfort and convenience for employees. The client's first impression of the office is when he sees the interior of the office.
Many manufacturers of office furniture offer their customers not only ready-made products, but also the possibility of design and implementation of projects, taking into account all the wishes of the customer, interior features. Specialists will select and offer the best option not only in terms of price, but also design, material, color, size.
