Options for dividing a room with a wardrobe

In small-sized apartments, every centimeter counts, so the space should be used as rationally as possible. There are a lot of design techniques that allow you to divide one room into several functional areas. This can be done by painting surfaces in different colors or by applying an effective separation method using various light sources. Such methods are good, but will not provide the premises with the necessary privacy. Successfully cope with this task will help such a piece of furniture as a closet.

The partition cabinet allows you to quickly and inexpensively divide the space into functional zones

Zoning a small room with a cabinet is much easier, and not as costly as building a new wall from drywall or brick. In addition, a stationary wall deprives the owners of the opportunity to change the interior after a while.

Types of Partition Cabinets

All varieties of such partitions, by design, can be conditionally divided into two types:

1. Equipped with back wall.
2. Racks without a back wall.

Models with a rear wall have one serious drawback - they block the natural light from the window in one of the shared areas. Such cases can be bilateral and one-sided. If you decide to purchase a finished factory product, it is advisable to decorate the back wall of fiberboard.

An ordinary sliding wardrobe or a model with hinged doors can act as a small partition

Two-sided is more practical, but it is undesirable to use it in small-sized rooms, because such a product has a great depth and this makes the design very heavy. If it is decided to apply just such a design, then mirrors on the doors will help to visually increase the space.

A double-sided wardrobe is often placed between the entrance area and the rest of the studio apartment

Racks without a back wall make the space easier and transparent, however, the division into zones with their use is only conditional. On the shelves, indoor flowers will look great in beautiful flower pots, vases, photographs and other objects that give the interior an individuality.

The shelving partition can have shelves of the most diverse design and color scheme.

Double sided cabinet

Doors placed on both sides of the partition make it possible to use it in two parts of a divided room at once. Double-sided cabinets are very practical and quite heavy, which is also important when using it as a wall. Such products look spectacular, with a passage in the middle. This design will not only fully replace the wall, but also provide excellent sound insulation.

A double-sided cabinet will be an excellent solution to the problem of storing things for two rooms at once

Combination of partition cabinets

An angle made up of two partitions creates a separate, functional, partially isolated space in the room. In this case, the combination of two cabinets of different configurations will be interesting. For example, a wardrobe for clothes and a rack for books, flowers and other necessary items.

A double-sided wardrobe with a partition between rooms will be very convenient for operation, for example, such a design with mirrored doors installed between the bedroom and the living room will save space and expand the room.

Cabinet size selection

If the cabinet, which is used as a partition in the room, is made to individual sizes, then it is necessary to think through all possible options to give the room maximum comfort.

The dimensions of the furniture used for zoning the space should be comparable with the size of the room

In principle, the height of the furniture used as a partition can be absolutely any. It is limited only by the dimensions of the material used, for example, the standard height of a chipboard sheet is 278 cm. For a room with standard ceilings, this size is quite enough. Well, if you need a higher cabinet, then solving this problem is easy with a mezzanine.

A hinged cabinet or shelving can be any length. With a wardrobe, it is somewhat more complicated due to the fact that there are some restrictions:

• along the maximum length of the guides (not more than 500 cm);
• according to the minimum dimensions of the product - the width should be at least 100 cm because Doors are available in sizes not less than 50 cm.

Doors of swing cabinets are made, as a rule, 60 cm wide. An increase in width will entail an increase in the weight of the door, in which case reinforced hinges must be used.

The built-in wardrobe, made to individual sizes, allows you to most effectively use the area of ​​the room

The choice of colors for the partition cabinet

When choosing the color of a partition, it is necessary to take into account its combination with other interior items:

• white color - easily combined with other shades, visually expands the space, adds light;

In a small room, the partition will look bulky, but if there is still a need for zoning, it is better to use a partition in the form of a ladder. It will not only solve the problem of dividing the room, but will also look very original.

Between the hallway and the room

A closet instead of a wall between the hallway and the room is very convenient if the layout of the apartment does not provide for a dedicated entrance hall, for example, in a studio apartment. It will be practical to use a combined double-sided cabinet, on the one hand - a compartment, in the hallway, and on the other hand - a shelving, in the living room.
