• Saving space. The door leaf moving away to the side can be placed anywhere in the room without worrying that there is not enough space to fully reveal the inner contents.
• Safety. It is impossible to pinch your hand with sliding doors, and this fact is especially to the liking of those whose families have small children.

Sliding doors do an excellent job with the function of decorating a room. Made of frosted glass, in whole or in part, the doors become an effective decor. Full-length mirror canvases make the dressing room functional and comfortable.

The variety of decor of such sliding doors allows you to make them the central image of the room, which is the basis of all other design solutions.

There are also disadvantages:

• Many people do not like the fact that compartment doors do not close hermetically and let smells through.
• Others note the fragility of the structure.
• For some, the characteristic sound when opening and closing the canvases becomes a problem.
• Over time, the compartment door mechanism loosens. This does not mean that it becomes unusable, but only reminds of how important it is to treat it carefully and use it carefully. At the same time, do not forget that often the details of the mechanism are easily changed independently.
• The guides hide part of the inner space of the dressing room. This fact should be taken into account if, in your case, the dressing room is not a whole room, but a well-defined niche into which hangers and rods are just placed.
• Compared to swing doors, the compartment option will cost you more.

The main advantage of sliding doors is convenience and space saving.

Varieties

You will probably agree that doors are not always given special attention. It is believed that if the dressing room is comfortable, then such a "trifle" as doors does not play a serious role. But this is not at all the case. It is from the door, in addition to the decorative function, that the reliability of storage of things and accessories, and ease of use are expected.

Visually, sliding wardrobe doors allow a wide range of effects to be achieved.

Such systems are especially popular:

• Retractable (this system is also called a "pencil case"). It consists of guides, carriages and rollers. They are appreciated for their reliability and ease of use. Ideal for small spaces, as the doors are hidden in a niche during opening. Self-installation of the structure is impossible if you do not have special skills.
• Compartment doors. This is a kind of sales leader. The demand is explained by the versatility of the design and practicality. The flaps move inside, thanks to the presence of rollers. The blades run parallel and do not touch each other. Such doors are installed on both linear and radius models. The latter are considered more spectacular in appearance.

Door leaves, moving along the guides, save the usable area as much as possible.

• Foldable. Compared to previous versions, this model will require more space. The leaves do not diverge, but fold in half and move aside. Outwardly they look stylish and fit well into modern minimalist interiors.
• Techno style doors. This is one of the more unusual models. It is appreciated for its convenience and safe operation - it is impossible to get injured with such a design, there are no lower mounts. Most often, such models are installed in rooms with flat floors without sills.
• Harmonic. Outwardly, the model resembles a screen. The door leaves consist of interconnected lamellas, which fold together in the process of sliding. The accordion takes up a minimum of space and is easy to operate.

Models such as an accordion or a book are distinguished by a particularly elegant appearance, compactness, comfort, relevance and fairly simple operation.

• Roto doors. This option is ideal for high-tech interiors such as high-tech.

Materials (edit)

Sliding doors to the dressing room are made of different materials: natural and synthetic. When choosing, attention is paid to the following parameters: reliability, aesthetics, quality of material processing and construction, as well as the features of the model's operation. In addition, such an indicator as cost cannot be discounted.

There are a large number of types of sliding doors and they all have their own design and installation features, their functionality is also different.

1. Chipboard. A modern analogue of the material known from Soviet times. Today it is more attractive not only externally, but also in terms of its performance characteristics. Made from wood shavings. Thanks to the laminated top layer, it is very similar to natural wood. Ideal for making do-it-yourself "compartment" doors. It is produced in a wide range of colors, it is possible to choose the appropriate option, both for classic interiors and for modern ones.
2. MDF. A truly versatile material for making compartment doors. It is processed with a milling cutter. It is easy to form and create various configurations and shapes from it. Complement the dressing room in any style. An important nuance: MDF, as well as chipboard, is not recommended for use in rooms with high humidity.
   

   Natural, environmentally friendly models made of natural wood or products from MDF and chipboard are distinguished by simple maintenance, low weight and fairly easy installation.

3. Wood. Wooden products are appreciated for their environmental friendliness, excellent aesthetic properties. More often than other species, oak, ash, walnut, maple and pine are used. The classic interior will harmoniously complement a wooden door decorated with mirror inserts. This design fills the room with a special atmosphere and gives it a solid look.
4. Plastic. In the 21st century, this is the most demanded material, which is not the only one made from it, and compartment doors are no exception. The constructions are universal, easy to operate, easy to install. They are produced in different styles and with different decorative elements. Such a surface is resistant to mechanical damage and detergents. The short service life is offset by an affordable price.
   

   Due to a wide range of colors, plastic doors easily fit into any interior solution.

5. Glass with a metal frame. A very popular model of sliding doors. The stained glass "filling" of the frame, or the photo printing applied to the glass, looks spectacular. Today, masters apply any drawing or photo to a glass surface. There are no restrictions. If a mirror is placed in a metal frame, then the room visually seems more spacious. And do not worry that the glass will break and cause a lot of trouble, or, even worse, harm the health of your loved ones. For such doors, special impact-resistant glasses are used. Recently, lacomat has become more and more popular, which is a translucent matte a surface that hides the contents of the dressing room, but at the same time allows you to see what is in it located. Lakomat visually enlarges the room space. And its indisputable advantage is the ease of use - it is much easier to care for such material than for mirror surfaces. Another option that is gaining popularity is painted glass doors. Varnishes of different colors are used as a coating. You choose a color scheme depending on your interior. Very organically painted glass coupe doors look high-tech or minimalist.
   

   They are a real interior decoration that adds coziness, charm and style to the atmosphere.

6. Bamboo, rattan. If you consider yourself a connoisseur of eco-style, then bamboo or rattan sliding doors are definitely your option. Outwardly, the products seem literally weightless, but the first impression is deceiving. The design is strong enough and will serve you faithfully for many years.
7. Artificial leather. This is a rather rare design move. It is used exclusively in cases where nothing else is suitable to support the general concept. Looks elegant and unusual.
8. Decoracryl. This is a spectacular "union" of two materials: a panel with natural materials is placed between two acrylic sheets. Acrylic is chosen transparent, translucent or matte, and natural material - at the customer's choice: flowers, shells or leaves. This design very harmoniously complements the interiors of the rooms, in the decoration of which there are natural motives.
   

   They have a truly sophisticated look, they can easily complement dressing rooms with any stylistic solution.

Most often, there are combined models of wardrobes or wardrobes in a niche: a body made of wood or chipboard, and doors made of glass, mirror or bamboo. In turn, mirrored doors are perfectly combined with frosted glass surfaces.

Glass doors visually expand the space and add extra space and comfort to it.

Design options

Modern technologies make it possible to translate the most daring ideas into reality.

The technique allows you to make drawings not only in an abstract style, but also quite real drawings.
   

   With this color scheme, you can use the gray-brown color of the sliding doors.

5. Ion-plasma or magnetron deposition technology is very expensive. But this door design looks very impressive, somewhat reminiscent of glass tinted.
6. Another way to make the mirror surface unique of its kind is by laser engraving. The works are carried out both from the outside and - at the request of the customer - from the inside. This technology allows you to apply drawings of any complexity to the surface.

7. Beveli technique. Glass plates of different shades are fixed on a mirror surface using an ultraviolet lamp or glue with a special composition. With such processing, everything depends on your desire and on the degree of skill of the specialist. The facades are very unusual.
8. Mosaic. Pieces of glass of different colors are collected in a certain order (or in complete disarray). Such work is very time consuming, therefore mosaic facades are expensive, but the spectacular appearance gives the whole interior a certain charm.
   

   The material is not important, the decorative design in the form of a drawing, stained glass or photo printing is important.

9. Airbrushing. At one time, this technology for applying images to the surface has become popular among motorists. Today it is also in demand among professional designers. The sliding doors decorated in this way will become the admiration of all your friends and acquaintances.
10. Milling. This processing technology is applied to MDF panels or natural veneer. Allows you to apply a drawing of any degree of complexity to the surface.
    

    Sliding doors are a practical and stylish design that is an absolute must for a dressing room.

11. Decorative film. A budget option for decorating growth mirrors. This design is done independently. Corner patterns on a reflective surface look spectacular. This is practical: both the image is available and the mirror is used for its intended purpose.
12. If you have minimal artistic skills, then using a rubber spatula and a stencil, you can apply the image with a matting paste. Hieroglyphs are often preferred.
    

    Sliding doors fit perfectly into the interior of both an apartment and a country house.
