The most suitable for this are wardrobe cabinets that can accommodate a large number of things.

Kinds
There are several types of wardrobe cabinets. Although they all perform one function, they differ in appearance and size.
Clothes
Products of this type are called ordinary wardrobe cabinets. By their design, they consist of furniture panels with doors and storage compartments. Such models appeared in the 17th century - they replaced the chests of bulky sizes, where our grandmothers kept things. Large models are designed for hanging dresses, shirts, suits, but many place outerwear in them.
Due to the strict forms and internal design of shelves and hangers, such a wardrobe is convenient to place in any room of the house. It will fit perfectly into the interior of the bedroom, hallway or living room. The design of the product allows you to make it yourself, using ready-made solutions tailored to individual sizes.
Over time, designers have developed several types of wardrobes:
- travel bag;
- combination cabinet with wings;
- cabinet with end bar.
Each of these species has its own characteristics, which must be studied in more detail.

Such an original foreign name has a wardrobe of a wardrobe type of small sizes. This compact model is perfect for the interior of a small bedroom. Inside there is a minimum number of shelves needed to accommodate the most needed items of clothing: bedding, nightdresses, underwear. The dimensions of such specimens allow them to be placed in special niches, thereby saving space in the room.
The interior space of the product often consists of 5 shelves - depending on the height, as well as a small compartment for hangers. Under the roof of the wardrobe is a low mezzanine for storing accessories. Most often, such models are equipped with two doors.
Sash Combined
Such products are distinguished by their versatility. In the photo you can see that such a model is complemented by sashes. The design contains the following elements:
- compartment with a bar for hangers;
- mezzanine shelf;
- drawer blocks.
The product gained popularity due to its versatility. Here you can place not only clothes, but also shoes. A mandatory element of the combination is the main wide door. The good dimensions of the sash allow you to fix on it a full-length mirror.
With end bar
The design of the models allows you to put clothes on hangers located on the end bar. The device is usually made in the form of a retractable device: thus, it is possible to save a little space. The depth of such options will be greater than that of conventional models due to the features of the extension system, however, the width dimensions will decrease, therefore, the cabinet will turn out narrow. Such instances are also ideal for rooms with a lack of space: small bedrooms, dressing rooms, narrow aisles with the possibility of installing a storage system.
Wardrobes are traditional cabinet furniture designs that have long been popular with consumers due to their versatility and affordability.
Wardrobes
Elegant sliding doors, a mirrored surface, shiny metal profiles - all this is a characteristic of a modern wardrobe in the dressing room or bedroom. Models are made in any style, therefore they look beneficial both in the classics design room and in technical styles. Such products are classified according to the method of placement in the room: they are built-in and cabinet.
Case
Very often, apartment owners are wondering: which is better - a freestanding or cabinet sliding door wardrobe. Designers disagree - some people think that embedded models look more practical, while other experts consider case models to be the best option. In reality, it all depends on whether there is enough space to install a separate wardrobe, or whether it makes sense to build it into a niche.
Sliding wardrobes are popular in the vastness of the country. They partially replace the already established wardrobe models, and thanks to the sliding door system, they allow you not to think about the space for opening the sash.
Built in
The built-in model is advantageous in cases where the room has a special niche for installation. You can make such a recess in the wall with your own hands, using drywall. The cabinet design does not have external walls, roof and floor. This role is played by the materials of the niche itself. The door roller system is mounted directly on the base of the opening.
For wardrobes you will need to allocate a certain place, because the models are made almost at the full height of the wall. The main advantage of this type of furniture products is its huge capacity, thanks to such elements:
- retractable baskets;
- boxes;
- rods of various kinds;
- mezzanine;
- bottom blocks for shoes.
The possibility of independent planning of the cabinet design makes these furniture systems the leader in the market for custom-made products.
Partially or fully integrated
Among the models of the built-in type, it is worth highlighting products that are partially built into the room. Such options are great for the dressing room, where the entire storage system should be organized rationally. Installing this option involves placing it near one wall, which plays the role of one of the side racks of the cabinet. You can integrate the structure with your own hands: specific skills will not be required here, all that is needed is to assemble the furniture and fix it correctly to the wall.
A partially embedded system can be placed as follows:
- in the corner of the room when the wall and ceiling play the role of panels;
- in a not completely closed niche, where the roof of the cabinet is its own, and the racks are wall elements.
In addition, there are models where the product is part of an entire storage system, harmoniously complementing the surrounding interior.
Shelf Structures
Among the built-in models, the rack option should be highlighted separately. It is a large wide wardrobe throughout the wall. The use of such a product will answer the question: what to choose - a dressing room or a wardrobe? It is the shelving unit located in the wardrobe that will allow you to store things folded: bedding, bathroom textiles, boxes with shoes, hats.
The main advantage of the shelving is the ability to make them yourself. The basis material will be metal profiles, and the finish is drywall.
Angular
To save space in the hallway, many apartment owners resort to the use of corner built-in wardrobes. They are mounted in the corner of the room, while not losing their spaciousness, and in terms of versatility they can be compared with a wardrobe closet.
The design has the following features:
- installation directly on the floor;
- the possibility of using roller doors or conventional wings;
- the vertical bar fixed in the center serves as a support for the upper shelves;
- shelves can be added independently by making them yourself from furniture panels.
If desired, drawers and laundry baskets are located inside. Most often, such complex designs are made to order, because the dimensions of the panels and shelves are always individual.
Modular systems
The location of such devices is recommended to be done in special rooms where a zone of rational storage of things is formed. Wardrobe rooms wardrobes which are not required are famous for their increased capacity thanks to modular systems. They are installed along each wall and contain many functioning cells.

For wardrobe rooms, they will be small, but for small bedrooms they are perfect.
Mini wardrobe panels
Such structures can be made independently, after calculating the dimensions of the room where the storage will be located. A panel wardrobe is similar to a modular system, only in this case, all products are made of wood. Before you make a mini dressing room, calculate all the subtleties and sizes of shelves and panels so that there are no difficulties during assembly.
