The design project for a bedroom in most cases involves the installation of a comfortable wardrobe. It is quite simple for owners of large-sized housing to solve this problem, because the space of the rooms is quite large and it is not difficult to fit into a bedroom wardrobe. In the case of a small apartment, the question looks much more complicated. Further, what should be a small wardrobe, so that the storage of a personal wardrobe can be resolved even in small-sized housing.
Advantages and disadvantages
If the bedroom is not large, a small closet is suitable for it. If you approach the question of choosing such furniture wisely, then even small-sized models will provide the user with high comfort, but at the same time they will be quite roomy, attractive in appearance.
We describe the main advantages of small lockers for clothes:
- the ability to fit the model even in a space essentially limited,
- affordable cost due to compact size. Since the manufacture of a small product requires not so much materials as in the case of a spacious large-sized cabinet, there is an opportunity to save some,
- a wide selection of colors, decorative elements for decoration allows you to choose a locker for a small apartment with a contemporary style and design,
- compact wardrobes are characterized by a high level of comfort, functionality, if you carefully consider their contents. The ability to equip the design with a backlight will also increase the level of product comfort.
The main disadvantage of furniture of this size is obvious: a low level of spaciousness. In a small closet you can’t put a huge wardrobe, but to ensure reliable storage of the most frequently worn items is quite real. If you order the manufacture of such an interior item on an individual project, you can take as a basis for its design personal preferences regarding clothing. For example, choose the actual height of the crossbar with hangers or select a zone for trousers.
Varieties
Today, the choice of cabinets in shape, size, design features and designs is very diverse. But for a small bedroom, not every model is relevant. We describe the best options that will endow a narrow space with high functionality, beauty, comfort:
- the design with swing doors looks attractive, luxurious, stylish. It is suitable for a spacious bedroom. Despite all the advantages of such furniture, it is not relevant for a small apartment, since doors when opening open require a lot of space,
- Radial wardrobe for bedroom has a fanciful design, a high level of spaciousness, but is expensive. Therefore, picking it up under a small bedroom can be irrational,
- small compartment wardrobes for clothes are suitable for this case more than other options. It does not matter how close to such a piece of furniture is other small-sized furniture. Opening its door will always be easy, convenient. To give the product the maximum level of capacity, it is worth choosing the highest cabinet for the bedroom. It will not be difficult to do this, as modern factories often offer customers models of non-standard heights. If you find a compact, but high option did not work, you can make it to order. It is convenient to store clothes in such furniture.
Production material
Wardrobes for clothes today are solid, durable furniture that can please the user with a high level of comfort. To provide products with such operational parameters, manufacturers use high-quality materials at work. We describe their operational parameters in detail.
Production material | Advantages | disadvantages |
Plywood | Lowest Cost, Lightest Weight | Short service life, low resistance to negative factors |
Chipboard | Affordable price, practicality, light weight | Average resistance to moisture, sunlight |
MDF | The average level of value, a wide variety of textures, colors, practicality, low maintenance | Swells under the influence of water, burns out after prolonged contact with direct sunlight, high humidity |
Solid wood | Naturalness, enormous service life, natural beauty, natural aroma (if used in the manufacturing process of coniferous wood) | High price, decent dimensions do not allow to install such furniture in a tiny bedroom |
For the manufacture of accessories for small cabinets in the bedroom, various metals, ceramics, wood, plastic, glass and other materials are used.
No less important is the technology with which the design is decorated. Today, even small-sized cabinets can be decorated with original sandblasting, mirrored doors, and MDF doors with elaborate textures.
Shapes and sizes
The classic shape of a bedroom wardrobe is a rectangle. Such products are manufactured in standard sizes: width - from 100 cm, height - from 150 cm, depth from 60 cm. But if necessary, you can make a variant with specific parameters of height, width, length. A linear model is installed along the free wall. For small-sized housing, it is worth choosing the highest possible cabinet (230-240 cm in height), which allows you to use the entire height of the room to place clothes, shoes.
An equally popular shape is the triangle. Such structures are installed in the free corner of the room and are characterized by high capacity, therefore they allow rational planning of such an uncomfortable space. If space allows, it is possible to equip such a cabinet not with direct, but with radius doors. This will allow us to somewhat expand the usable area, which means to increase the capacity of the model several times.
Filling
Clothes stored in a cabinet rationally retain their beauty and neatness for a longer time. Therefore, even in a very small bedroom, it is important to organize a wardrobe. To make it as functional as possible, it is worth identifying four zones for:
- clothes
- shoes
- accessories (bags, belts),
- underwear, socks.
When zoning the internal space of a structure into four zones, a person will be able to quickly find the thing that is relevant to him at a particular time.
If the bedroom is too small and the closet is selected for it, you will have to sacrifice one of these zones. Shoes can be stored in the hallway in a specially purchased shoe rack or in one of the hallway departments. The same applies to accessories that can be moved inside cabinets located all in the same corridor or living room.
It is irrational to refuse a zone with clothes, as well as a zone with linen and socks. The first is represented by shelves and a niche with a crossbeam and hangers on it, the second by pull-out drawers (separately for linen, separately for socks). T-shirts, T-shirts, sweaters, tracksuits are quite possible to store on shelves. Pants, dresses, blouses - on the shoulders in a niche with a horizontal bar. This will keep these types of clothes ironed, neat.
Posting Rules
If you have decided on the content and dimensions, it is important to understand where it is best to install the structure. Specialists in the field of interior design recommend the following rules. Remember that enough space is needed for the cabinet model with swing doors. In the case of a tiny room for sleeping, it is better to give preference to the option compartment.
Carefully examine the room where the closet will be installed. Take measurements of the space and evaluate the height of the walls. If the bedroom has a free angle, you can purchase an angular structure or install a linear model close to the wall with one side. You can also use the wall surface as one of the sides of the product. Such models are called built-in models and are made to order for a small space. This is a great way to create just such a cabinet that will fully meet the requirements of its owner.
If you have a small niche, you can use it to install storage systems with compartment doors. This is a great option to save on materials, because the function of the side walls and top cover of such a product will be performed by niche walls and ceiling. Also, this option will provide the user with the opportunity to rationally use the space of a niche, clothes in such a cabinet will be provided with reliable storage.
Small bedroom wardrobes: views
For bedrooms with a small area, when choosing a wardrobe, you must correctly determine its size. If it is not possible to put a large closet in the room, it is quite possible to choose the most capacious design. Moreover, such furniture will not take up much space.
When buying a wardrobe, you must pre-select a place for it in the bedroom
For the bedroom, the following types are considered the most suitable cabinet models.
Wardrobes
For several years, this option has been one of the most sought after. Convenient sliding doors are provided here, and due to the possibility of manufacturing structures of various sizes, they are often used in small bedrooms. The wardrobe has many departments, as well as shelves, that is, it has good capacity.
Sliding wardrobe fits perfectly into the interior of a small bedroom
How to choose a small-sized wardrobe in the bedroom
If you need to choose a small but roomy cabinet model, it is recommended to consider a number of recommendations from experienced designers. So when choosing a material for the construction, it is better to give preference to natural wood, because this material is considered reliable and durable. However, if it is not possible to purchase a cabinet made of natural materials, you can use the product from particleboard.
Roomy wardrobe should be selected so that it harmoniously complements the design of the room
To choose the right small-sized wardrobe in a small bedroom, you need to consider:
- Shelves. It is recommended that there be a lot of them, because many things should be stored here.
- Height. Before making the design, you should consider the possibility of using the highest shelves of the cabinet. To provide access to them, you can use the drawers.
- Colour. A small closet should fit in with the color of the surrounding bedroom interior. Therefore, you should take care of the correct combination of furniture in advance.
- Form. She is also chosen depending on the surrounding style. Therefore, you should avoid using different styles in the room.
In addition to the above, it is important to take care of the depth of the structure. After all, its capacity will depend on this.
The standard design depth should not exceed 60 cm.
If you plan to store books or expensive dishes in the closet, it is better to order glass doors. And in order to visually make the area of the bedroom more, you should take care of the manufacture of mirrored doors.
Wardrobe in the small bedroom: the rules of choice
Before acquiring a similar wardrobe in the bedroom, you should determine what shape the structure should have. This can be a cabinet product or a built-in cabinet. Cabinet furniture is more aesthetic and, if necessary, moves without problems. However, a significant drawback of such a product is the need for indentation from the walls and a high price.
The advantages of the wardrobe is that it is functional and practical.
The built-in wardrobe is quite a practical option, with this design it is possible to economically use the space of the room.
A significant disadvantage is the fragility of this furniture, as well as the inability to change its location.
When choosing a compartment design, it is recommended to choose the most suitable sliding door mechanism:
- Roller. Here the door is built into a metal frame, thanks to which it moves along the groove with the help of rollers. However, this mechanism is less reliable.
- Monorail. This mechanism is reliable, but also more expensive. A special monorail is provided for the movement of the rollers. The owners can not worry about dusting the grooves or getting foreign objects there.
It should be noted that the period of use of the sliding wardrobe depends on the choice of material of the rollers:
- The most practical and wear-resistant are metal wheels.
- Plastic parts in which PTFE coating is present are less reliable options.
- Ordinary plastic for wheels is the worst solution. The service life of such products often does not exceed a year.
The wardrobe is not only ideal in a small bedroom, but also will add uniqueness to your design
A small modern wardrobe can have steel or aluminum profiles. Steel is considered to be durable and strong, but they produce noise when used.
Not all materials are suitable for decorating the doors of such a cabinet. Aluminum structures are not considered durable, but they are silent.
Corner wardrobe for a small bedroom
For a small room, you can use a corner cupboard.
Such a design allows you to economically manage the space, and also has several advantages:
- Such cabinets, in addition to their compactness, are quite roomy.
- If you put the product in the corner, you can hide the unevenness of the walls or other defects.
- Corner wardrobes are considered the ideal solution for small bedrooms. With the help of such a design, it is possible to expand the space, and in addition to additionally free up space for other furniture.
- The corner type fits perfectly into any bedroom style.
For a small room, the corner cabinet with mirrored doors is an ideal solution. With its help, it is possible to achieve a visual increase in the room.
For a small bedroom, you can choose a corner wardrobe with mirrored surfaces that visually expand the space in the room
Similar designs are perfect for small rooms that have niches. Indeed, thanks to such compact furniture, you can usefully use the space. To make the corner cabinet modern and original, it is recommended to additionally install a special backlight in it. You should also avoid dark tones of furniture, which tend to hide the space. In order not to be mistaken with the choice of a wardrobe for a small bedroom, it is best to use the manufacture of custom designs. Indeed, in this way it is possible to choose the optimal height, as well as the size of the structure.
Mirror cabinet in a small bedroom (video)
There are many options for small cabinets for bedrooms with a small area. With the help of modern design solutions, you can choose the most suitable design for any room. Such a cabinet will help not only visually increase the space, but will be practical, and the room decoration will also become original.
Determine the style and finish
First, we put forward some important points. We’ll open some later, some will have to be believed.
- Choose white as the foreground color. Not gray, not beige, not coffee. White.
- Maximum 1 additional accent color in the finish. Better 0. Bedclothes, curtains, clothes - everything has its own color and these colors are enough. It makes no sense to add colors to the finish.
- Bedclothes - 1st in importance in a small bedroom.No matter how cool the design you make, choose ordinary bedding with flowers and nothing will remain of the design. Only one color. Look at the pictures.
- Do not be foolish with the ceiling. The best ceiling for a small bedroom is a smooth white matte without any complications.
- Color temperature lighting 3000K. This question from a biological point of view will be described further.
Design Style Choice
The main thing to decide is whether we are making a bedroom in a modern style or classic. Our deep conviction is to always choose modern styles. If for large apartments this is just an opinion, then for small apartments - the rule.
In a small area, you should always choose modern design styles.
This is true because of the money. Let's be honest, the vast majority of people do not have an unlimited budget. Actually, if that were so, then why would we have small bedrooms? And since money still matters, modern styles should be chosen because in addition to their main advantages, they are also cheaper.
Here is a photo of the perfect design for a small bedroom:
Modern styles of interior design are well combined and there are no clear boundaries between them. TOP of the most relevant in 2019 design styles of small bedrooms:
All three styles can be ideally combined in one room even in a small space. Enough interiors in which to determine the dominant design style is simply impossible. We discussed in detail the topic of mixing modern styles in an article about modern apartment design trends.
Apart from the classic loft, the basic template for most modern styles is minimalism. Other styles are obtained by adding details to it. We advise you to get acquainted with the modern design of the bedroom from the bedrooms in the style of minimalism, and then consider other bedrooms in a modern style.
Wall color selection
We already wrote about the choice of color for the walls of the bedroom, but it is in a small area that there are nuances:
- We choose only light colors.
- Accent colors in the decoration are often not needed at all. Lacks textiles.
- If it turns out too simple, we get the texture, not the colors.
Typically, an accent wall is placed behind the bed. But the selection criterion is congestion. The less the wall is loaded, the better it suits the role of accent. Because there is always a door on one wall, and either the wall behind the TV or behind the bed is selected on the other accented window. Attention is drawn to it either with some cool wallpaper, or just with a bright color. But be careful with the choice of wallpaper for the bedroom, although this material is used longer than others, it is with it the most nuances.
In addition to the walls, the bedroom has bedding, curtains, possibly a carpet and other items. All these items have their own colors. If we make the walls bright, we get porridge.
Decorative plaster was a long time ago, but was used only in classical styles. By 2019, this material has survived a rebirth and burst into modern styles. This is the most practical material, it is not afraid of anything, easy to clean. It can have any texture and color. Of the minuses, only the high cost. But we don’t have to finish them all the walls in the bedroom, just put it on the wall behind the bed. This is the most modern way of decorating the wall behind the bed, while not having restrictions on implementation. The price of a turnkey decorative plaster meter is $ 10-30, given that our bedroom is small, the wall area behind the bed is about 3 × 2.7 = 8.1 square meters. Not cheap for one wall, but worth it.
The basic color of the walls, when there is no particular preference, is white. It is always relevant, will never go out of style. Perfect neutral color that matches anything. Because in the bedroom there is minimal danger of smearing the walls, it is here that the white color is in maximum safety.
Floor and ceiling in a small bedroom
The biggest mistake in a small bedroom is to be smart with floors and ceilings. The floors are almost invisible, because most of the area is occupied by a bed. Ceilings, if made too complex, draw undue attention to themselves. A good place for multi-level plasterboard ceilings is the living room, but not the bedroom.
Ceiling in a small bedroom
Since we make the ceiling simple, any material will do. The shape of the bedroom, even in non-standard apartments, is usually rectangular or square. The combination of small area and regular shape is ideal for stretch ceilings. In this version, there will be no seams or ugly corner approaches (because all angles are 90 degrees). So it makes no sense to overpay for plasterboard ceilings.
In the small bedroom we make a simple minimalistic ceiling.
Here is a good example when they thought that the design was too simple and decided to complicate it with a ceiling. In a vacuum, it might not be so bad, but in a concrete example, such a ceiling design is completely off topic.
Many recommend choosing glossy ceilings for a small bedroom, supposedly this increases the space. We are the other way around categorically do not recommend making glossy ceilings in a small bedroom. In addition to reflecting light, gloss reflects everything else. As a result, we get x2 of all items concentrated in a small area. This is chaos, not design. Interior design is about balance, not about complexity. In general, glossy ceilings look collective. In terms of price / appearance, stretch matte white ceilings take the absolute first place.
Floor in a small bedroom
The most insignificant point is that the floor in the small bedroom is practically invisible. Choose any parquet or laminate you like with a chamfer - you won’t be mistaken. The only recommendation you can give is to look at the dark colors. Ideally, if you manage to make the illusion of a gradient from a dark floor to a light ceiling - it looks very stylish. Otherwise, there are no rules.
Where to start repairing a small bedroom
There are things that can always be changed or remade. And there are those that need to be laid at the very beginning of interior design before the start of repairs, because they can not be redone. And whatever cool interior design you made for your small bedroom, if you make a mistake in them and it is impractical, no appearance will excite you anymore. So let's start with them.
Redevelopment
The bedroom is one of the most undemanding rooms. Unlike other rooms, here our activity is minimal - to fall asleep and wake up. In fact, the minimum sufficient area is 9 sq.m. For a square room, this is 3 × 3 meters along the walls. The standard size of the mattress is 160-180 × 200. And this means that any place where you can shove it, you can already turn into a bedroom.
The minimum sufficient area of the bedroom is 9 sq.m.
But you always want more. If your apartment has the potential to redevelop and enlarge a small bedroom by moving walls or, for example, joining a balcony, then why not. We are constantly We recommend considering redevelopment options for small apartments. Many have an irrational fear of redevelopment, and in vain. It is not so expensive and difficult, and the benefits are significant, both in terms of design and practicality.
The most common design option to expand the space of a small bedroom is to attach a balcony. For this, the balcony is insulated, and the wall between it and the bedroom is either completely demolished, or the window frame and door are simply removed. The advantage of the second option is that there is no need to carry the battery and an additional table (in place of the former window). But keep in mind that legalizing the connection of a balcony to a bedroom is almost impossible.
With the redevelopment of the bedroom sorted out. What else is important to do at the initial stage of repair.
Switches in the small bedroom
What you certainly cannot redo is the wiring of electricity. You are mistaken here, and even a small bedroom can cause big problems.
By 2019, for professional builders and designers, some things in the design of bedrooms have already become the standard. One of them - walk-through switches in the bedroom. Passing switches are groups of switches that can independently turn on and off the same light circuit. This is especially true for corridors and bedrooms, even small ones. Agree, it is convenient to be able to turn on and off the light without getting out of bed and not going to the door.
The wiring for the passage switches must be done immediately, then it is impossible to add them.
Outlets in a small bedroom
In 2019, it is already impossible to imagine yourself without gadgets. Phone, e-book, tablet - things that are constantly used in the bedroom. Things that tend to discharge at the most inopportune moment. Accordingly, on each side of the bed, in addition to the walk-through switches, there must be at least 2 outlets.
Do not forget about the sockets for the TV. Moreover, it is advisable to know in advance whether he will stand on a pedestal or suspended on an arm, because height depends on it. We advise you to make a group of at least 3 outlets - you never know what else you want to connect.
Place another 1-2 sockets below at a height of 15-30 cm from the floor. They may come in handy for a vacuum cleaner or climatic equipment, which is important by the way. Humidity in the bedroom is an important parameter, but don’t think about it while it’s in order. If for some reason the air is too dry, you should have the opportunity and sockets for connecting a humidifier.
The design of sockets and switches has also changed a lot. Now the choice of sockets and in appearance and wallet is simply huge. Any colors, any styles. If at some point you run into the need to maintain an additional accent color in the bedroom with some accessories, think of sockets and switches. It is possible they exist in the color you need.
Lighting in a small bedroom
One of the most important points in which not even designers understand.Light affects sleep quality. Each person has an internal biological clock (circadian rhythms). 2-3 hours before sleep, the hormone melatonin begins to be produced in the body, which plays an important role in the quality of sleep. And here there is an important nuance - light inhibits the production of this hormone. And what could be more important in bedroom design than its effect on sleep?
In order to normally go to bed, the bedroom lighting must meet 2um requirements:
- Minor dim light sources.
- Color temperature no more than 3000K.
This is necessary because the suppression of the production of melatonin depends on the intensity and length of the light wave. Therefore, you should be able to use additional light sources that will not blind. Complete darkness is also not an option - when watching TV, being in the dark is bad for the eyes.
Warm or cold lighting in the bedroom also matters. The colder the light seems to us, the shorter its wavelength. And it is light with a short wavelength that worsens sleep the most. therefore in the design of the bedroom, it is important to use lamps with a color temperature of 2800-3000K those. warm yellow lighting.
How to place a bed
The size of the mattress is 160-180 × 200, respectively, the size of the bed is slightly larger depending on its design. The standard placement where the area allows is in the middle of the room with the back against the wall. The advantages of this bed placement in the bedroom are the ability to make bedside tables, sockets and switches on both sides.
When the room’s area is small and there is no place for such “chic”, we put the bed to the wall or window. Some inconvenience arises from the inability to climb on it from two sides, but the small bedroom does not start to look worse from this. This is a very standard option, many have already used it and the bedroom interior is not particularly affected. You can rate on the photos:
If the sides of the bed are narrow, then you will have constant contact with the wall to which the bed is attached. It is desirable that this wall should not be too light, or at least be made of a material that is well washed, such as decorative plaster.
Because our bedroom is small, it’s unlikely that we can fit a bunch of wardrobes into it. Therefore, you may have to consider options where the bed has storage space. This will slightly worsen the design of a small bedroom by overloading it, but practicality is more important.
Wardrobe and cabinets
Small or large room, but things must be stored somewhere. Of course, I want small light cabinets along the edges of the bed, but in practice it would be a good idea to make them to the ceiling. Unusual, but practical. The benefit of ordering can now do anything. And because of the high competition in the market for custom-made furniture, prices can be found quite humane, the main thing is to look.
Go around as many bedroom furniture offices as possible - prices are very different.
Many deliberately reduce the area of the bedroom to 10-12 square meters in favor of the wardrobe. This is a redevelopment in which we transfer the entrance deep into the bedroom, and use the vacant space as a wardrobe. The area is not used rationally, but from the point of view of design, such a bedroom interior looks better.
If the meters are still limited and there is no desire to exchange them for the appearance, then choose either a sliding wardrobe or an ordinary cabinet with hinged doors. In the design trends of bedrooms in 2019, the second option is even more preferable - sliding wardrobes are no longer in fashion.
Where to store things in a small bedroom
The eternal question. The answer is simple in wording and difficult to implement - everywhere. Adjust everything you can in your bedroom. Make shelves on the sides of the TV. Raise the bed to the podium, and below do the opening cabinets. Make cabinets, as mentioned earlier, as high as possible. Until the bed is surrounded by a wardrobe around the perimeter.
This sentence sounds a little wild, but it is better than a constant mess from the inability to put things in their places. But all have a lot of things and their number does not correlate with the small size of the room. In this option, it is imperative to choose light colors for such furniture, preferably without texture. Pure white or beige furniture is standard. This is also important because dust is not visible on the light, and it is unlikely that you will have the opportunity to constantly climb the bedroom ceiling to wipe it.
Our task is to adapt everything that is possible for storage. Bed, open sections of the walls - that's it.
Now you have all the information on the design of small bedrooms, drag ideas from photos and good luck in repairs!
How to place furniture?
In order to conveniently arrange all the necessary furniture in the room - and at the same time make the space of the room functional and cozy, you need to connect your imagination and creativity, as well as use very useful tips and tricks from interior designers.
When making a small bedroom, the center of the composition of the room should be determined. This is often a sleeping place. Furniture is best placed around the window and along the walls so that the center of the room remains free and does not seem overloaded.
It is very important to use various not too bright tones. It is better to opt for two shades that will be harmoniously combined with each other. If you want to visually make a room wider and more spacious - choose light shades of furniture, and this does not have to be white. Furniture of milk, cream, beige, light gray, caramel and other shades will look beautiful and harmonious.
A good technique for visually increasing space is the use of mirrors in the interior (for example, a cabinet with a large mirror in the doors). Glass and glossy surfaces are used in the same way - for example, glossy stretch ceilings. However, it is important that the color is delicate, in pastel colors. Otherwise, an unpleasant crushing effect can be achieved.
Of great importance is also the lighting of the bedroom. It should be as bright as possible, but at the same time comfortable for the eyes.
What to choose?
Of course, for a small bedroom and furniture should be roomy and functional. However, at the same time, it should be as small as possible.
As for color solutions - it is better to choose a cabinet of light shades, since they are able to visually increase the space of the room. Of course, the color of the product must certainly be combined with other furniture and accessories in the room.
An excellent solution would be to install a wardrobe in a small room in the entire height of the room. The doors of such a cabinet are best made mirrored, so you get a spacious storage for things, as well as a convenient large mirror that will visually enlarge the room.
It is necessary to think over and provide in the sliding wardrobe a sufficient number of various shelves and hangers, on which it will be convenient to place clothes and other things.
Another very interesting and unusual version of furniture, which is suitable even for a small Khrushchev – functional wardrobe bed. During the day, the sleeping place is folded up and put into the closet, which allows you to significantly free up the space of the room, and at night again turns into a comfortable and spacious bed.
You can purchase a modern loft bed. The berth in such models is located on the second tier, but a spacious wardrobe can be placed at the bottom.
Designers also advise using the idea of fitted wardrobes for a small room.
Coupe Features
Sliding wardrobes are very popular all over the world, because they can be successfully placed even in the smallest room.
They have a number of advantages:
- The release of the room from unnecessary things. In a high cabinet you can store not only clothes, but also those things that should not be in plain sight.
- The presence of a large number of various compartments, shelves and drawers, which makes the wardrobe an alternative to the wardrobe.
- The light colors of the products and the presence of a mirror surface on the doors visually make the room larger.

Another variation suitable for a small bedroom is corner or L-shaped wardrobes. They take up very little space, but at the same time, in fact, they are very roomy.
There are also models of wardrobes "mini", which are great for interior children's room.
Facade design options
Great ideas for decorating the facade of any chiffonier, allowing you to visually increase the bedroom space:
- Photo printing - Modern technologies through the use of special paints allow you to transfer any photo to the cabinet doors. The applied image is polymerized by ultraviolet, and then varnished. The room will seem spacious and very cozy, if you choose the image of warm light colors.
- Mirrors As already mentioned, the reflective surface visually increases the size of the room, so a cabinet with mirrored doors is an excellent solution for a small bedroom.
- Gloss - This is also a great way to visually make a room bigger; the outer surfaces of cabinet doors can be glossy. Products of various colors are widely represented on the market, but it is better to opt for light colors.
- Glass - cabinet doors can be decorated with tinted or transparent glass, which is applied to interesting drawings, patterns.
- Plastic. The facade of the cabinet made of plastic is one of the most budget options, however, this material allows you to get a variety of designs. Plastic material can be any color and shade, transparent or translucent, matte, glossy - for every taste.
Functionality
Choosing a wardrobe for a small bedroom, it is worth giving preference to the most compact, but at the same time roomy models.
All things will need to be placed inside, so a sufficient number of shelves should be provided in the closet for storing clothes and bedding.
It is very convenient when there is a mezzanine upstairs where you can store those things that you do not use so often. But the lower sections of the cabinet are convenient to use in order to put shoes there.
The closet must also have wide, spacious sections in which clothes can be stored on hangers.
There are also such cabinet options that are equipped with a built-in chest of drawers. You can put various trifles, underwear and other things in his drawers - this is very convenient.
Choosing the right furniture options for a small bedroom is not very simple. However, if you connect your imagination and imagination, as well as arm yourself with the advice of experienced designers, you can achieve an amazing result that will certainly please you.

Lineup and its features
A clear leader in built-in furniture is a wardrobe. The purchase of this model will be a solution to the problem of lack of free space. Traditionally, the appearance and occupancy of the inside of such furniture is custom-made, and the real advantages are comfort and profitability.
Sliding wardrobes can be placed even in the smallest room. They have several advantages:
- Volumetric. They make it possible to fully exploit the internal area, which is an important point in the arrangement of small bedrooms. The presence of mirrored surfaces on the doors greatly increases the space of the room.
- Conciseness. The ceiling, floor and walls in the manufacture and installation of the wardrobe will replace its side, upper and lower panels.
- Filling. They save the living room from excess things and do not clutter up the small area of the room. They can be a good alternative to the dressing room, accommodate an impressive number of different shelves, compartments and drawers. They can allow you to place not only clothes, but also all kinds of things that should not be in sight.
- Maneuverability and convenience. Their installation will mask the defects of poor layout, and sliding doors will save space. If you need to move, you can dismantle the furniture and install it in a new room.
Corner cabinets are a great option that can be used for a small bedroom. This wardrobe looks compact, and it is important to choose the appropriate shape for a variety of interiors:
Corner
