Today wardrobes can be found in almost any apartment. Such popularity of this piece of furniture is mainly due to its functionality, significant space savings and the ability to choose the design that you like the most or most successfully fit into the interior.
How is a closet different from a regular one?
The main difference between a sliding wardrobe and an ordinary wardrobe is sliding doors. The wardrobe is opened by moving the canvases along a special chute due to the wheels attached to them.
A wardrobe is not necessarily a separate piece of furniture. It can be easily built into almost any niche that has sufficient dimensions for this.
And, finally, the closet inside can have any content - all kinds of shelves, hangers, bars and other accessories designed to maximize the storage space.
What are wardrobes?
The most common are wardrobes of the following types:
- built-in;
- angular;
-hull.
Built-in wardrobes are the best option for apartments with an inconvenient layout that have numerous ledges or niches. The main feature of such cabinets is the absence of a floor, ceiling, back wall or sides, and sometimes all together. In addition, the built-in case is the cheapest option, since this approach allows you to significantly save consumable material.
Corner wardrobe first of all looks quite unusual. Due to the additional section, it becomes possible to make the most of the empty space in the junction between the walls in most cases. Such a sliding wardrobe inside can have absolutely any content: design features do not in the least affect its main purpose.
Cabinet wardrobes are the most standard type of this furniture group. You can put them anywhere and any way, which makes such a wardrobe quite mobile when rearranging. It is even permissible to partition the space with a sliding wardrobe, making, for example, two rooms from one room.

- Customization available. Herescope for imagination is limited only by the laws of physics and the skill of specialists. The rest is a matter of taste of the customer himself: color, number of doors, design, interior equipment, the presence of mirrors and exclusive finishes - all this can be done in various variations.
- Multifunctionality. In a spacious closet, you can hide almost anything: from books to household appliances and furniture. You can also organize additional space. For example, a mini-dressing room or workplace can easily fit into wardrobes inside. The photo below shows one of these options.

Internal filling of wardrobes
Before you buy or order a wardrobe with sliding doors, you need to think in advance not only where it will stand, but also take into account its main functions. It completely depends on what the filling will be.
For example, a closet in the hallway inside should have enough rods for outerwear, as well as a lot of free space below for shoes. It is clear that the extra shelves here will be completely out of place.
The following parts are used for the internal organization of wardrobes:
- hanger bars;
- regular shelves;
- mezzanine;
- laundry baskets;
- holders for trousers, belts and ties;
- baskets for small items and accessories;
- iron holder;
- shoeshelves;
- corner shelves;
- Hats;
- folding seats;
- drawers;
- hooks for bags, packages;
- umbrella stands;
- housekeeper;
- mirrors;
- backlight.
Regardless of where the wardrobe will be placed, it is worth remembering that its middle part is most often used, then the lower one, and finally the upper one, where all the most unnecessary things are mostly hidden.
