In recent years, the sliding wardrobe has turned from a novelty on the domestic furniture market into a familiar element of residential interiors. This is unique furniture in its operational parameters, which performs a number of important functions, for example, it allows you to organize wardrobe storage and prevents damage to things. At the same time, with high functionality, products of this type do not lose their aesthetics. The sliding wardrobe with photo printing is distinguished by especially high decorative qualities, which can become a decoration of any interior.
Advantages and disadvantages
With the right choice of a sliding wardrobe with photo printing, in a short time you can fill your living space with comfort, add originality to simple wall decoration, and add spaciousness to a small space. The following describes the main advantages that furniture such as a cabinet with photo printing can boast of:
- long service life. Such furniture retains its beauty for a long time, its design does not fade, does not crack, or fade. Taking into account this fact, we can say that choosing a similar item for the living room or bedroom is a profitable step. You will only need to spend money once, but for subsequent years you can enjoy a highly functional and beautiful piece of furniture;
- easy to fit into the decoration. Luxury, beauty, and original design make buyers increasingly pay attention to wardrobes with photo printing. This is a self-sufficient piece of furniture, to which you just need to choose a calm background. In a room with such furniture, it is not at all necessary to use additional decorative techniques in the decoration of walls or ceilings;
- high environmental friendliness - provided that a model is selected from high-quality materials, it can be noted that it is absolutely safe for household members. Photomolecular printing is harmless to the health of humans and pets, so sliding wardrobes with photo printing can be placed in any room.
Some buyers note such a disadvantage of such furniture as annoyingness. People who like to frequently change the decor in their home can quickly get tired of the picture on the closet. We also add that some images lose their relevance over time. For example, images of cartoon characters are no longer relevant as a child grows up, because his preferences change.
Select a pattern
When choosing images to create a 3D picture on the facades of a sliding wardrobe, it is important to take into account the style in which the design of the room is made, as well as the color palette that predominates in it. Modern themes and motifs are suitable for high-tech and fusion style rooms. Floral ornaments are preferably used in rustic country and eco-style. The classic style can be complemented by images of works of art, nature, and others. Sandblasted ornaments are also perfect for classic, modern or art deco styles.
Regarding the color scheme of photo printing, it is worth listening to simple design rules. For tiny rooms, it is better to opt for light colors in the design of the wardrobe, which will visually add lightness to the space. For spacious rooms, furniture with photo printing in bright and dark colors is quite suitable.
Avoid overly bright photographs in the bedroom, where it is important to create an atmosphere of rest and relaxation. And too dull and nondescript drawings should not be used in a children's room. The design of such a room should develop the child’s imagination, so it is optimal to prefer photo printing of a favorite cartoon character or funny animals. Do not forget about the age and gender of the child for whom the picture for the closet is selected. For a brave boy, images of ships, cars, airplanes are suitable, for a girl - floral patterns, flowers, and the like. Teenagers should choose more universal drawings: images of cities, plants, animals, nature, works of art.
If the decision is made using a computer, do not forget that monitors can distort the actual color shade. It is better to go to a store where you can see the proposed image for photo printing on a specific piece of furniture.
Criterias of choice
Sliding wardrobes with photo printing perform two functions at once - practical and aesthetic. When choosing a product, it is necessary to analyze many nuances - from the dimensions of the furniture to the quality of the image. In this case, it is worth relying on several basic criteria:
- Interior style. It is important to think about how harmoniously a particular product will fit into the overall design of the room. Modern images and combinations of materials are perfect for high-tech or fusion trends. For eco or country styles, it is better to choose landscapes and flowers. But the intricate ornament made with sandblasting equipment is suitable for classic, modern and art deco.
- Color spectrum. Representatives of the palette used to decorate the room should not conflict with the colors of the furniture itself. In addition, it is important that the closet does not seem bulky and does not overload the decor. For a small room, it is better to prefer a product made in light colors.
- Price. Its formation is primarily influenced by the technology of drawing. Also taken into account is the size of the image, its type, the presence or absence of decor (lighting, etc.). It should be understood that the cheapest method of photo printing has low image stability, so it is best to give preference to products in the mid-price category.
For a dark room, it is recommended to prefer mirrored facades and backlit glass.
It is worth choosing the type of application based on the characteristics of the future use of the furniture. If the cabinet is purchased for a children's room or is planned to be actively used every day, it is better to choose UV printing or a multilayer method of creating an image.
Design, detailing and assembly of a sliding wardrobe with your own hands step by step
Application technique
To obtain sliding wardrobes with photo printing on glass, modern manufacturers use different technologies.
Technology | Dignity | Flaws |
Adhesive polymer film | Low cost, easy implementation, no need for expensive equipment, easy installation on the surface, the ability to remove and re-stick the film over time. | Polymer film cannot look overly expensive, stylish, or respectable. In addition, such a coating is short-lived, easily scratched, and is afraid of moisture and sun. |
Multilayer surfaces | Resistance to negative factors, brightness and clarity of the design is ensured by the use of a base white layer of paint, on top of which the design is applied, as well as a protective transparent layer. | Higher price. |
Sandblasting machine | Used on glass and mirrors. As a result, the drawing turns out to be monochrome and original. The image stays on the surface for a long time without losing its aesthetics. | To implement a drawing using this technique, you will need special equipment, the cost of which is quite high, as well as chemical reagents, the use of which requires certain knowledge and skills. |
Ultraviolet photo printing | The most durable and high-quality option that is used on any surface. It will not fade under sun exposure and is safe. | High cost, easy susceptibility to mechanical stress. |

How to care
The surfaces of a sliding wardrobe with interior printing do not require specific care or careful monitoring of their condition. It is enough to remove accumulated dust from the surface of the shelves from time to time, monitor the quality of operation of the sliding mechanism, glue the brushes if necessary, and clean the facades from hand marks and grease stains.
But for such products the use of aggressive detergents, polishes, wax and other chemical compounds is strictly prohibited. The only exceptions may be those products that the manufacturer recommends to use in the instructions for the model. Therefore, it is important to read this document from beginning to end. By following these recommendations, you can extend the life of furniture with photo printing. Our photo gallery will allow you to familiarize yourself with possible options for themes for photo printing.
Care and recommendations for use
Glass wardrobe doors with designs using engraving, screen and ultraviolet printing can be cleaned and washed with water and detergent.
Vinyl films cannot be rubbed with a sponge or soap; cleaning with microfiber or damp furniture wipes is allowed.
Surfaces covered with the three-layer method can be washed like laminated panels, without allowing them to get wet for a long time.
In order for the design on the film to retain the brightness and saturation of colors longer, you do not need to place the cabinet on the sunny side of the room.
When ordering vinyl for gluing, you need to take into account the service life: after a year and a half, the ink without a protective coating will fade. For long-term use, you should choose multilayer or uv printing.
