How to design a bedroom wardrobe that is beautiful and practical What are the considerations for bedroom wardrobe design

We all know that the installation design of the wardrobe is very particular. It not only depends on the decoration style of the house, but also pays attention to many details, such as the practicality of the wardrobe, the color selection of the wardrobe, the material of the wardrobe, etc. So what kind of bedroom wardrobe is better? Let's take a closer look!

How to design the layout of bedroom wardrobe

1. The material of the wardrobe

The quality of the material determines the quality of household items to a certain extent, and the same is true for wardrobes. Common wardrobe materials include density board, solid wood board, solid wood particle board and particle board, etc. Each material has its own characteristics and defects.

① Density board

As the name suggests, density board is based on plant fiber or wood fiber, and is made through processing of synthetic resin and other techniques. It has the advantages of impact resistance, excellent performance and stable structure, but its moisture-proof effect is insufficient and it is easily affected by moisture.

②Solid wood board

Solid wood boards are evolved from natural materials and have a firm, sturdy appearance. Their surface moisture absorption and breathability are better than other materials, but they are relatively more expensive.

③Solid wood particle board

Solid wood particle board is made of wood and wood fiber bonded together with glue. It has the advantages of heat preservation and mildew resistance, smooth surface, and high cost performance. However, because it is mostly glue inside, its form is relatively small, and glue is easy to produce harmful substances such as formaldehyde.

④Particleboard

Particle board is a man-made board made from sawdust, wood and other raw materials through a series of processing techniques. It has the unique sound absorption and heat insulation properties of wood, but its load-bearing capacity is insufficient, and the excessive use of glue can easily reduce the environmental factor.

2. Wardrobe form

In traditional perception, there are two main types of wardrobes. One is to reserve about 50CM of space on the top to store quilts or suitcases, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to accumulate dust. The other is to make the height of the wardrobe flush with the ceiling to avoid the accumulation of debris and dust on the top of the wardrobe.

In addition to the external structure of the wardrobe, the form of its door also varies. The most common wardrobe door is a swing door, which conforms to people's living habits, but a swing door requires sufficient space in front of the wardrobe; while a sliding door is a form of moving left and right, which saves space and is exclusive to small-sized bedrooms.

3. Wardrobe Types

There are also two types of wardrobes, namely custom wardrobes and ready-made wardrobes. Custom wardrobes are planned according to the vacant area of ​​the bedroom and can meet the living habits and needs of the residents. The price is higher than that of ready-made wardrobes, the process is complex, environmentally friendly, and the quality is guaranteed.

Ready-made wardrobes are suitable for large and square apartments. They are relatively inexpensive, simple and elegant in workmanship, and can be moved and controlled freely. However, the quality of their internal materials and hardware accessories cannot be guaranteed, which is quite different from the imagined wardrobe.

4. Wardrobe Size

The size of the wardrobe is the focus of people's attention and is also the key factor in whether the storage can be done well. The size of the wardrobe is divided into internal and external dimensions. The conventional external dimensions of the wardrobe are 1.2M, 1.8M and 2.2M in width, and the height is limited to 2.45M. Small apartments should be appropriately reduced to avoid suppressing emotions and atmosphere.

The interior of the wardrobe includes drawers and hanging areas. The width and height of the drawers include specifications such as 400MM×150MM and 800MM×200MM. The depth of the remaining area is 600MM. The depth of girls' wardrobes can be increased appropriately.

5. Wardrobe internal layout

The internal layout of the wardrobe does not need to be complicated. Adding multiple layers of partitions, drawers, side panels, hooks, and separating coats, bags, quilts, and other clothing areas may seem neat and orderly, but in fact it limits people's original intention of organizing and loses variability. A truly convenient and practical wardrobe is one that fits people's lifestyle and space, and changes with the house type, habits, and family size, rather than a qualitative design.

When buying a wardrobe, you need to sort out the clothes and bedding in your home, plan the space needed for coats and bedding, determine whether you need to add drawers and partitions to the wardrobe, as well as the number and location of the drawers, to facilitate the use of the wardrobe.

6. Wardrobe Color

The wardrobe is no longer a single color. Pure white, elegant black and warm wood color can all be integrated with the bedroom, combined with low-key walls to form the background of the bedroom. The color of the wardrobe does not have to be too bright and colorful, but low-key and in line with the bedroom style.

How to determine the location and size of the wardrobe

Understand the approximate size of the bedroom's width and length and the items in the room. After obtaining the total length and width of the bedroom, we need to subtract the size of items such as bedding, bedside tables, curtain boxes, desks, dressing tables, etc., so that we can roughly plan the specific location of the wardrobe. When determining the size of the wardrobe, pay attention to the depth and consider whether there is enough space in the aisle and whether the storage space of the wardrobe itself meets the normal use needs. Whether a plaster shed is needed on the top of the wardrobe to facilitate the intersection of the ceiling corner line, and whether there is a power switch on the edge of the wall that needs to be avoided. These factors will affect the design of the wardrobe's size and must be understood in the early stage.

The common layout patterns of wardrobes are: straight, L-shaped and U-shaped. In some special cases, we can use the layout of the wardrobe itself to create functional advantages. For example, if the bedroom is relatively large, we can arrange an L-shaped wardrobe as a partition cabinet, or we can combine it with a barn door and glass door to make a U-shaped cloakroom, enriching the sense of space and improving the design aesthetics.

How to determine the wardrobe design form

There are three common wardrobe designs: closed, semi-open and fully open.

1. Closed wardrobes give people a feeling of order and organization. Friends who like simple, modern and minimalist styles can try it. If the width of the wardrobe is too large and you still want to make a closed wardrobe, in order to reduce the sense of oppression in the space, it is recommended that the depth of the cabinet can be reduced (the net depth of the double-door cabinet cannot be less than 500mm). The second point is to increase the overall height-to-width ratio, either by shrinking the width of a single cabinet or by not cutting the door panel and directly extending the length (adding a metal straightener behind the door panel). The third point is to make a suspended wardrobe at the bottom and hang it on the wall with heavy-duty hanging tags to make the space more layered.

2. As the name suggests, semi-open wardrobes do not have full door panels. Some open grids and glass doors can be added to display and store things, which increases the ornamental value and functionality, killing two birds with one stone. It is recommended that glass doors be equipped with top and bottom hinges and aluminum crossbeams on the top plate, and matched with light strips or aluminum profile light boxes, which can enhance the design level and make daily operation more convenient. Pay special attention to the use of lamps inside the wardrobe. When leaving water and electricity, be sure to reserve lamp lines and control switches, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble.

3. The advantage of a fully open wardrobe is of course that the space is transparent, the placement of items is clear at a glance, and it is highly ornamental. The disadvantage is that the privacy is not very good, and important documents and items may have nowhere to hide. In addition, it is easy to get messy if not properly managed, and the visual accumulation is also a kind of oppression.

How to determine the installation structure of the wardrobe

Wardrobe installation structure and internal functional division

Wardrobes are generally divided into two types of installation structures. One is the traditional side panel clamp top and bottom panel using three-in-one connectors, and the layers use two-in-one or active partition board brackets. The other is an open hanging type, with special connectors for the back panel and wardrobe layers, which is full of design. The functional areas inside the wardrobe are generally divided into three categories: hanging area, folding area and storage area. The net length of the long wardrobe is reserved for about 1300mm, and the net length of the short wardrobe is reserved for about 900mm; the design of the folding area is more flexible, and the number and height of the layers can be determined according to actual conditions; the storage area can be left at the top and bottom of the cabinet, and hardware such as drawers, multi-treasure cabinets and trouser drawers can be used to refine the storage function. In addition, it is necessary to take into account certain special needs of the owner. For example, if you want to store safes and suitcases, you need to reserve corresponding space inside the cabinet.

Multifunctional combination

The design of woodwork focuses on adapting to local conditions and should be designed according to the different situations of the owner's home. What we often see is the combination of wardrobe with dressing table, desk, and bedside table, which saves space and makes the overall decoration effect more smooth. It can also be organically combined with tatami to maximize space utilization.

How to improve the taste and appearance of wardrobe

Pay attention to the details of wardrobe craftsmanship

Here are two suggestions: First, do not expose the stubble inside the cabinet after cutting, and try to use soft edge sealing to make the surface look more beautiful and harmonious. Second, you can cancel the upper sealing board and directly cover the cabinet, which is more simple and fashionable as a whole and has a full sense of customization. What needs to be noted here is that the size should be well controlled, and the error within a few millimeters is acceptable.

Choose the right main material

Here we are referring to the material of the door panels and the pattern of the cabinet. When choosing, the style should be consistent with the overall design tone, which can highlight the sensory characteristics of the panel itself but not be abrupt. If it is a double-faced door panel cabinet with wood grain, you should pay attention to the fineness of the texture when choosing. It is best not to just look at the single board, but to see whether the overall texture can achieve the expected effect. For wardrobe hardware, you can choose some imported brands, such as Blum hinges, Hettich's three-section slide rails, Hanggao's multi-treasure cabinets and lifting clothes rods, etc., which will make the wardrobe look more advanced and reflect the owner's high-level taste.
