Case a case for clothes, features of models and which are better

In almost every country house or city apartment, you can see one or another type of cabinet. Such furniture has been popular at all times, as it performs an important function: it allows you to solve the issue of storing personal items and accessories. But in a narrow room it is difficult to accommodate a spacious compartment or wardrobe with hinged doors. For such cases, a compact cabinet for clothes is suitable, which has several advantages over other models.

Features

Variations of cabinets are very diverse today. Manufacturers make models for almost any wallet, taste, for any size premises. The choice is really huge, but against the background of other options, a narrow pencil case looks advantageous. These are unusual designs, the advantage of which is compactness, practicality and high capacity. It is precisely for such qualities that such products can often be found in small living rooms and small bedrooms in city apartments and country houses.

Cases pencil cases with shelves and closed doors perfectly fit into any interior, allowing you to place a fairly extensive wardrobe inside due to its impressive height. But, despite the high functionality, such products are compact, able to fit in a narrow space. A narrow space can be visually expanded through mirrors on the facades of the structure.

Regarding the doors, they can be sliding or a compartment at the pencil case, as well as hinged. The first option is more profitable, since the doors do not occupy the free space of the room.

With proper selection of the design of the cabinet of the pencil case for clothes, the wardrobe provides excellent protection against negative factors that can accelerate the wear of clothing: increased humidity, insects, dust, sunlight. If desired, you can purchase a finished model with shelves in standard sizes or order the manufacture of an integrated structure for installation in a niche. A wide selection of colors, decorative elements and materials for the manufacture of pencil cases for clothes will complement the living room for any purpose and design.

Varieties

A narrow wardrobe can be found in furniture stores in different forms. We describe the most popular options for such furniture:

built-in - designed for installation in small rooms and in rooms with niches. Narrow models of this type are compact, attractive in appearance, fit perfectly into modern interiors;
direct or linear - a narrow cabinet of this configuration is installed along a free wall. Due to the fact that linear models are available in numerous styles, shades and sizes, you can always find the current option;
corner - such a cabinet with shelves, a depth of 450-500 mm, is perfect for small living rooms and bedrooms, as it is placed in a free corner, leaving space in the center of the room free. Often, models are represented by one corner element. It stores wardrobe items of different sizes, purpose and shape. Find additional compartments on the sides of the corner structure will not succeed.

In addition, there are other configurations of pencil cases, depending on where they are installed:

models in the bedroom often have a small width (500 mm) and do not take up much space. The product is selected taking into account the decoration of the walls and floor of the room, the cabinets are complemented by a mirror on the back of the facade;
structures with a depth of 400-450 mm with shelves for the corridor are mostly very compact, made in light shades, as the entrance groups are often poorly lit and therefore not very cozy. They can have side shelves on which it is convenient to store small accessories.

Materials of manufacture

Traditionally, natural wood is used in the process of making pencil cases. Popular today are oak, mahogany and others. They are environmentally friendly, durable, but the cost of such furniture is quite high, so manufacturers are trying to use more affordable materials:

Chipboard - allows you to make affordable models of pencil cases with fairly high aesthetic qualities. The strength of chipboard furniture is high, but it is afraid of moisture and sunlight, as these factors can spoil the appearance of the structure. We also note that unscrupulous manufacturers are trying to reduce the cost of manufacturing furniture, using formaldehydes for this. These substances increase the operational parameters of particleboard, but are extremely harmful to human health;
MDF - the strength of the cabinet, with a depth of 450 mm, is high, therefore it serves a longer time than models from particleboard. In addition, the manufacturing technology of MDF does not provide for the use of harmful substances, allows you to create plates of different color shades and textures, so MDF is more expensive;
metal is a rather rare option today, because such products, with a depth of 450-500 mm, are characterized by a number of disadvantages: high weight, bulkiness, low aesthetic qualities.

It is not worth saving when selecting material for the manufacture of a future pencil case, as well as accessories for it. The service life of a narrow cabinet and the comfort of its operation largely depend on the quality of the choice made.

Interior fittings

It is very important to think about the content of the closet case for the bedroom or living room in advance. This will provide maximum comfort when using furniture. Think about what compartments, elements should be present in the design. The only thing we recall is that pencil cases are often compact in size and it’s just not possible to put bulky storage systems for clothes in them. Often there is no room for clothes on the shoulders; clothes are neatly folded and placed on shelves. If necessary, the pencil case can be equipped with drawers for linen or socks.

At the bottom of the pencil case, you can organize the storage of shoes in boxes. If the pencil case is installed in the corridor, hooks for storing keys and umbrellas can be mounted on its side walls from the outside. This will increase the functionality of the furniture, but will not overload the space of a narrow corridor.

It is also important to pay attention to the facade of the furniture, and specifically, to the material from which it is made. No less important is the technology of decorating the facade, which may affect its operational parameters. We describe the most popular options:

the blank facade made of chipboard, MDV is universal, as it allows you to hide the internal contents of the cabinet, and a wide selection of design of such doors allows you to choose the optimal model for a particular style of room. Another plus of blind facades is the simplicity of caring for such a surface;
the mirror facade - has a rather noticeable minus - quickly gets dirty when using the cabinet, however, the mirrors visually expand the narrow space, so the models are shown for use in narrow rooms;
glass doors - have a very attractive aesthetics, fit perfectly into almost all stylistic directions in the decor of residential premises;
photo printing - the design of the doors to the cabinet a pencil case of such a plan looks very attractive, original. But some manufacturers, saving on materials, use harmful substances in the manufacture of photo printing;
plastic facades - plastic is practical and lightweight, however, the aesthetics of such a material is hardly suitable for a beautiful living room or luxurious bedroom.

Which is better to choose

Narrow cabinets are selected more often for small premises. This is furniture that is diverse in form, height and other parameters, which can be very useful if you make the right choice.

The case a pencil case will please with high functionality, practicality, a long service life if the product is made of high-quality materials. It is better to give preference to natural wood or MDF. But if the purchase budget is limited, opt for models from particleboard. But be attentive to details, follow the advice of experienced professionals, so as not to regret your purchase in the future.

Selection factor	Characteristic
Capacity Level	The model must certainly accommodate the wardrobe, have such a filling that will allow you to place things rationally, compactly.
Design	The product should be combined with wall decoration, flooring in colors. For small rooms, prefer light colors in the decoration of the pencil case, and in the spacious - medium-dark and dark. Also, the wardrobe should be in harmony with the rest of the furniture in the room, creating a concise ensemble with it.
Dimensions	You should not choose a pencil case if there is enough free space in the room. Otherwise, the furniture will look inappropriate. Such designs are optimal for small rooms or rooms with niches.

When choosing such furniture, it is extremely important to pay sufficient attention to the fasteners that the frame is equipped with. In the presence of low-quality parts, structural stability may be impaired, the product will stagger, the facades may creak, decorative panels will soon crack.

Cheap accessories very soon will begin to "peel off", that is, the upper decorative layer on the element will crack and begin to crumble. Also, breakdowns of low-quality guides often occur, which makes it difficult to use a drawer. All these points will overshadow the operation of the cabinet, so pay for the quality initially. Then soon you will not have to repair furniture or buy a new one.
