Wardrobe partition for dividing a room: double-sided, compartment and others, photo ideas

In small apartments every centimeter counts, so the space should be used as efficiently as possible. There are many design techniques that allow you to divide one room into several functional areas. This can be accomplished by painting the surfaces in different colors or by applying an effective separation technique using different light sources. These methods are good, but they will not provide the premises with the necessary privacy. Such a piece of furniture as a wardrobe-partition will help to successfully cope with this task.

The partition cabinet allows you to quickly and inexpensively divide the space into functional zones

Zoning a small room with a closet is much easier, and not as expensive as building a new wall of drywall or brick. In addition, a stationary wall deprives the owners of the opportunity to change the interior after a while.

Types of wardrobes

All types of such partitions, by design, can be conditionally divided into two types:

1. Equipped with a back wall.
2. Shelves without back wall.

Models with a back wall have one serious drawback - they block out natural light from a window in one of the divided areas. These cabinets can be double-sided or one-sided. If a decision is made to purchase a finished factory product, it is advisable to decorate the back wall made of fiberboard.

An ordinary wardrobe or a model with hinged doors can act as a small partition

Double-sided is more practical, but it is undesirable to use it in small rooms, because such a product has a great depth and this greatly makes the structure heavier. If it is decided to use just such a design, then the mirrors on the doors will help to visually increase the space.

A double-sided wardrobe is often placed between the entrance area and the rest of the studio apartment.

Shelves without a back wall make the space lighter and more transparent, but the division into zones with their use is only conditional. Indoor flowers in beautiful pots, vases, photographs and other items that give the interior individuality will look great on the shelves.

Rack-partition can have shelves of a wide variety of designs and colors.

Doors located on both sides of the partition make it possible to use it in two parts of a divided room at once.

A double-sided wardrobe with a partition between rooms will be very convenient for operation, for example, such a design with mirrored doors installed between the bedroom and living room will save space and expand premises.

Choice of cabinet size

If the wardrobe, which is used as a partition in the room, is made according to individual dimensions, then all possible options must be considered in order to give the room maximum comfort.

The dimensions of the furniture used for zoning the space should be comparable to the dimensions of the room

In principle, the height of the furniture used as a partition can be absolutely any. It is limited only by the dimensions of the material used, for example, the standard for the height of the chipboard sheet is 278 cm. For a room with standard ceilings, this size is sufficient. Well, if a higher cabinet is needed, then this task can be easily solved with the help of a mezzanine.

A swing cabinet or shelving unit can be of any length. With a wardrobe, it is somewhat more difficult due to the fact that there are some restrictions:

• along the maximum length of the guides (no more than 500 cm);
• according to the minimum dimensions of the product - the width must be at least 100 cm because doors are available in sizes not less than 50 cm.

Hinged cabinet doors are usually made with a width of 60 cm. Increasing the width will increase the weight of the door, in which case it is necessary to use reinforced hinges.

The built-in wardrobe-partition, made according to individual dimensions, allows the most efficient use of the area of ​​the room

Choosing the color scheme of the cabinet-partition

When choosing the color of the partition, it is necessary to take into account its combination with other interior items:

• white color - easily combines with other shades, visually expands the space, adds light;

Between the hallway and the room

A wardrobe instead of a wall between the hallway and the room is very convenient if the layout of the apartment does not provide for a dedicated hallway, for example, in a studio apartment. It will be practical to use a combined double-sided wardrobe, on the one hand - a compartment in the hallway, and on the other hand - a rack in the living room.
