Decor
To create beautiful wardrobes with an extraordinary design, manufacturers use a wide variety of decorating technologies:
- Photo printing. This technique allows you to apply an image of any complexity to glass, mirror, chipboard and more. The design is bright and rich.
- Glossy facades. To give the surface an attractive gloss, it is coated with special enamel or varnish. As an alternative, you can use a special film or initially purchase furniture with plastic inserts. This type of decor always looks impressive, and thanks to its ability to reflect the light falling on the facade, the room visually increases (the same applies to mirrors).
- Sandblasting drawing. This technology involves drawing textured patterns on glass or a mirror surface. The directed air flow has a mechanical effect on the coating, literally scratching it, but the designs turn out to be very elegant.
- Mirror doors. A reflective surface without any decoration will look very attractive, but many designers don't stop there. Drawings and ornaments are applied to it using various methods, resulting in incredible compositions.
- A combination of different types of glass. The following combinations look especially beautiful: matte + mirror + transparent, multi-colored and tinted. These can be simple geometric compositions or original patterns.
- Laser or diamond engraving of mirror surfaces. This technology allows you to apply a beautiful image or ornament that will never be erased or fade. It is not easy to execute, which is why the cost of such products increases significantly.
Types of sliding doors for wardrobes, standard dimensions
Another interesting way to decorate a wardrobe is to decorate it with LED lights and strips. Illumination of the facade will create a unique flavor in the room and make this piece of furniture the main accent of the interior.
If you install a lighting system inside niches or shelves, this will make finding things much easier. Unlike all other decor ideas, this method is easy to implement with your own hands.

For small rooms, choose a narrow type of design. Standard models have a section width of 60-80 centimeters, narrow ones - less than 50 cm (up to 25 cm).
By type of doors there are:
- swing;
- sliding
Each type is convenient, practical and functional. The first, classic option, is often chosen for a spacious area, since it requires space when opened. The second type is suitable for all rooms. The mechanism operates on special rollers and is equipped with a limiter.
The white wardrobe is a common model, characterized by functionality and practicality. The structures are equipped with sliding doors, less often swing doors. Some views are complemented by a mirror and lighting.

Manufacturing materials
To make a white cabinet, chipboard, MDF, and laminated chipboard, traditional for this type of furniture, are used. A cabinet can be made to have a white gloss finish by painting it with enamel or applying a laminated layer.
| Type of material | Description |
| Chipboard | Chipboard. It is characterized by low cost and excellent quality. In the manufacture of furniture, chipboard serves as a material for shelves and cabinet parts. |
| laminated chipboard | It is obtained by covering chipboard boards with a thin laminated film. This material has moisture resistance and mechanical strength. To prevent the slab from swelling in conditions of high humidity, carefully insulate the edge using end caps. The surface is glossy or matte depending on the quality of the film. The slabs are easy to cut and allow you to make cabinets to individual sizes |
| MDF | Panels with a finely dispersed fraction are more expensive than laminated chipboard, but they have better moisture resistance and are easy to paint. The advantage of MDF lies in the variety of ways to process the front surface when creating decor. White furniture is given a white color by painting it with matte or glossy enamel. |
| Tree | Natural, environmentally friendly material, furniture from which is distinguished by reliability, long service life, and excellent aesthetic properties. Most often, solid birch, alder, beech, and cherry are used for the production of products. The most elite - white oak cabinets |
| Combination of materials | Most often, wood boards or natural wood are combined with glass and mirrors. This solution makes the furniture more elegant, more modern, and visually expands the space of the room. |

Furniture selection
There are different designs into which furniture with a white front fits. It is suitable for classic style and many modern trends. Let's look at some interesting ideas.
High tech
The main idea of the style is to introduce technology into life and interior.
The equipment is harmoniously combined with decoration and furniture. A high-tech room is a skillful use of contrasts of simple but rich tones. Light colors are always used as a diluting accent.
A built-in wardrobe is one of the main attributes of the room of the future. Like any other furniture, the structure is skillfully “hidden” to create the feeling of a spacious and bright room.
For high-tech, cabinet models with a minimalist design, without the use of decor, are suitable. Clear, straight lines, an unusual shape of the headset - what you need. The facade is often supplemented with lighting and a mirror.
Classic
For classics, products made from natural wood or MDF with a painted facade are suitable. The design of the cabinets is complemented by decor - moldings, carvings, fittings in a bronze or silver shade. The structures are equipped with hinged doors and mirrors. They often have legs.
For a classic interior, it is advisable to choose a set from one collection.
Japan
For Japanese or oriental style, choose white colors for bedroom cabinets. They have a unique design - a cabinet sliding shoji design along the wall.
Various types of wood or other raw materials are used in production. For a Japanese look, choose products made from MDF or chipboard, complemented by hieroglyphs, oriental patterns, and sakura.
The white cabinet in the “Japan” interior is appropriately combined with beige, red, turquoise, yellow, and terracotta wall decoration.
Modern
Art Nouveau is clear geometric lines, a combination of metal and wood. The style has similar features to hi-tech and loft. The design contains a combination of several rich shades, to dilute which neutral white is used.
Cabinet or white built-in furniture is suitable for the look. The facade can be plain or with a combination of another color. Glass, mirrors, and lighting are welcome as decor. Furniture with a glossy surface is recommended by many designers.
Provence
Provence is characterized by the use of light colors and floral prints. It is equally important that there is enough light in the room. White furniture is a harmonious addition to the interior. Models with painted facades, hinged doors, and simple designs are suitable.
For small rooms, a corner wardrobe with a mirror is suitable. A pattern on the facade is welcome , for example, flowers, tree branches.
No more than three colors
Whatever style your interior is decorated in, it should contain no more than three colors or no more than three shades of the same color. Therefore, the wardrobe must be in harmony in color either with the finishing materials of the walls or floor, or with the color of the upholstered furniture. If the floors in the room are made of parquet boards or laminate, it would be appropriate to decorate the façade with natural veneer to match the color of the floor. You should know that the dark color of the floor and furniture visually reduces the space, while the light color increases it, so when choosing a color you need to focus on the size of the room. If you want to make the closet invisible, then it is best to order the facade finishing to match the color of the wallpaper.
Glossy cabinets: bright ideas
A glossy white façade is one of the latest trends in interior design.
Spectacular shine gives the room a futuristic, sterile, and in a certain sense ideal look.
This cabinet or built-in wardrobe is designed to complement modern interior styles: high-tech, modern, neoclassical, fusion, loft, minimalism.
Collections of glossy bedroom wardrobes are complemented by inserts of dark glass and mirrors mounted around the perimeter.
How to care for products
Some avoid light-colored sets because the color is easily soiled. In fact, the models are very practical and wear-resistant. The surface is coated with high-quality varnish , which improves performance characteristics.
Dust and light stains can be removed with a dampened cloth. For difficult stains, use a soap solution and detergents without alkalis.
Important! A glossy surface should not be rubbed with a hard sponge - the protective coating will be erased and the product will look less aesthetically pleasing.
