The dressing room is no longer a wonder, and every owner of a house or apartment tries to equip such a corner in his home that saves space from bulky closets, makes it possible to hide rarely used clothes there.

You can fit the wardrobe into the surrounding interior by disguising it with the help of a properly selected door. In the article we will talk about the types of such doors, consider how to choose, and what alternatives to traditional compartment doors can be found.

Views

Many equip the dressing room on their own, acquiring the necessary hinged structures, which they install on their own. First of all, you need to pay attention to the door panels of the wardrobe.

Let's dwell on the most popular types of doors for a closet closet.

Recoil

These are some of the most comfortable and quiet types of doors. A special mechanism on the rails allows the door leaf to roll quietly and imperceptibly to the side. This option will ideally fit into the dressing room of the bedroom, as well as the nursery. In general, if there are small children or old people at home, sliding doors are the best solution. You will hardly bother them by visiting the dressing room.

The design differs in that the sashes of these doors can move not only straight, but also along a curved line. This is possible thanks to special rollers and also because of the aluminum frame.

The plasticity of the material allows you to work with radius doors of any shape. They are often made to order, observing the accuracy of measurements.

Swing

A spacious wardrobe opening and closing system, swing structures are installed if the space of the room allows it. The following advantages are distinguished:

  • tightness of closure, which means reliable protection from dust, penetration of insects and direct rays of the sun;
  • high level of sound insulation;
  • reasonable price of the doors themselves (mechanisms in the case of hand-made production), as well as for the installation service;
  • laconic design with a special charm of appearance.

Do not forget that their installation will require a lot of space, so swing doors are appropriate in the dressing room of the bedroom, living room or in corridors with a large area.

With limited space, you simply will not be able to use the swing door option, as, however, you will not be able to install them properly.

"Accordions"

This compact design is very practical, easy to operate and fits in any environment. If you choose accordion doors with translucent doors, you will be able to visually enlarge the dressing room, which is important for rooms with a small area.

"Accordion" will revive the interior, adding originality to the design of the room, but keep in mind that for its normal functioning you need at least so much space so that the doors of the mechanism can move freely and come down.

Such a door structure, consisting of many slats, at first glance is rather fragile, but if the fittings are well-chosen, then you should not worry, it will last a long time and without problems. Problems can only arise with products assembled from low-quality elements.

Roto door

Roto is a trendy, futuristic device. The swivel mechanism allows the structure to rotate around the axis and open in any direction.

Roto doors will also need more space (following the example of swing door structures), so it is appropriate to install it only in large dressing rooms.

Pencil case

An original way to complete the arrangement of a wardrobe room in an apartment or arrangement of a wardrobe in a cottage outside the city. Due to the design features (the presence of rollers, carriages, guides), the pencil case doors resemble compartment doors, differing only in the canvas.

Very reliable base, creates comfort, does not require a lot of space for installation and operation. Each leaf of such a door is mounted into the wall, leaving a free passage to the dressing room. "Pencil case" is an ideal solution for a small size, where every centimeter is worth its weight in gold.

However, it is not so easy to mount such a structure, not everyone can cope on their own without certain skills and abilities, so it is better to entrust this business to professionals. The design is durable, will run smoothly when properly installed.

Materials (edit)

Modern door designs for wardrobes are made of various materials, which differ in their performance characteristics and the specifics of their functioning. Let's consider the most common materials for wardrobe doors.

  • Doors from MDF, chipboard, chipboard. They go mainly to the production of compartment doors. Attracted by the democratic price of these materials, respectively, and the cost of the finished product itself. In principle, such structures are unpretentious in operation, except that they are afraid of high humidity.
  • Wooden doors. Made of natural wood, they are environmentally friendly, which is important for those with health problems (allergies, asthma, etc.). Such door structures have an aesthetic appearance, but are heavy and cumbersome, therefore a wooden door in a large spacious room is appropriate, it will look especially harmonious when other furniture is also made of wood.
  • Glass door. Quite a few people choose a mirror or glass as the basis for a wardrobe door, since drawings, photo stickers can be easily applied to such a basis, you can decorate with other mirrors, make a stained glass window. The mirror base will enlarge any space, making it even larger, more spacious and more comfortable, but not suitable for any style of interior decoration.

It is better for professionals to install a mirror door - there is a risk that without the skills of working with glass, not everyone will be able to install a mirror structure on their own.

  • Plastic door. This is a fairly simple and cheap option, it will not be difficult to install it, anyone who knows how to hold tools in their hands can handle the installation. But in terms of wear resistance, this is not the best option, every scratch remains and is visible on the plastic, and from an aesthetic point of view, plastic is inferior to much other materials, it has no charm.

Doors in dressing rooms are also made of drywall - this is also an inexpensive way, they can then be painted, pasted over or decorated, for example, with some kind of wicker or other decorative elements.

Design

The design of wardrobe doors is of great importance for the overall interior of the room, where the storage closet is built in. A solid canvas will only bring grayness to everyday life, so the doors to the wardrobe are made radial, secret, hidden under various decor.

The decor itself is desirable to also fit in and harmonize with the surrounding finish, become part of the common space. The finest work is obtained when decorating glass. Here are some examples.

  • Stained glass technique. Glass engraving looks stylish and modern. Undoubtedly, this option will adorn not only the dressing part of the room, but also the entire space, however, many refuse such a charm due to the high cost of stained glass.
  • Mirror inserts. It looks impressive, enlarges the room, makes the secret room brighter and more attractive. This design is operated with caution, protected from mechanical stress.
  • Drawing on glass. If we talk about practicality and durability, sandblast drawing should be applied. It does not lend itself to fading in the sun, there are no scratches on it, and the choice of patterns will allow everyone to find their own version. Such decor is not cheap, but worth it.

Any doorway of a dressing room can become a decoration: even with additional decor or figuratively made to order. It all depends on the preferences of the owners and their financial capabilities. If you paste over drywall with beautiful textiles or design paper, you will also get an original design.

At the present stage, hand-made things are very much appreciated in interior design, there is no need to be afraid to experiment, sometimes the cheapest thing can look stylish and expensive due to the skill and imagination of the master.

Which ones to choose?

The choice of the door to the dressing room will primarily depend on the area of ​​the room. In a gray, small, narrow room, it is clear that lightweight structures are needed. In this case, you can choose a glass door structure (translucent or matte).

Sliding devices are also suitable for small rooms. But in a massive interior, wooden doors or swing structures with a wide doorway will look appropriate.

When choosing the doors to the dressing room, take into account the fact how close the wardrobe is from the sleeping place or the children's room, in order to choose, among other things, a quieter option for opening and closing the wardrobe.

Each setting has its own correct solution. It makes no sense to install a blind door in the dressing room if there is no ventilation system and no air inflow and outflow is provided - there is not even a window. If there is no normal air circulation, and even with a tightly closed space, you risk spoiling things with an unpleasant smell.

In this case, you can choose doors with special holes for ventilation, and blinds are also suitable.

Alternative options

It is not always appropriate to install a door to the dressing room, for example, where there is little space, but you want to separate the parts, you can hang curtains instead of the door. For such cases, light translucent textiles are selected - an ideal solution for a bedroom to fence off an open corner for storing bedding or clothes.

If you want to use a fabric base and divide the dressing room in a large room, then you can fence off the space with thick curtains with lambrequins, using other pompous decorative elements. Textiles are always coziness, beauty and a certain warmth in the house.

Yes, and you can change the drapery as you get tired of the old texture, bringing new colors and freshness to the atmosphere. You can simply add accessories to the existing curtains, and there will already be another accent in the room. In a word, there are a great many variations with textiles instead of doors - it all depends on imagination.

But there is one nuance that must be taken into account if the choice fell on a textile curtain. In this case, you leave open access to the closet closet for pets, which means that they have the opportunity to equip beds on your clothes.

But there are other options as well. So, roller blinds can help out. Such blinds have a convenient mechanism for lowering and raising curtains, they are convenient to operate, and there is a huge selection of materials from which you can order them - bamboo, straw, jute, cotton, linen.
