The wardrobe is one of the most important furniture in the house of each of us. Not only does it have an extremely important practical function, but it is also a key element of the entire interior design and has a huge impact on the style of the room. For many years, this area was dominated by powerful, massive wardrobes. Today, however, there is a gradual shift away from this trend, especially in favour of more discreet wardrobes.
If you are decorating a house or apartment, you should definitely get to know this solution a little bit better. Thanks to this you can ensure a lot of comfort and create a very practical place for storing clothes. But is a wardrobe the only way to use a free recess? It turns out that it does not - the possibilities here are much wider. By inserting an elegant sliding door into a room, you can create your own discreet space behind it for countless applications. Of course, the size of a niche is the most important factor in how we can manage it. Such recesses are usually not very big, so a wardrobe or a small storage space is simply the most obvious solution. The locker can be used for all sorts of things - from clothes to sports equipment and other everyday items. The device of such a recessed wardrobe - if possible connected immediately with the wardrobe - is a particularly good proposal in the bedroom, where we often do not want to spend too much space on inserting a massive wardrobe or chest of drawers. Behind a sliding door, however, depending on the specific room, there can be many more things hidden. Such a hidden place is perfect for hiding various elements of interior design.
Do you have a living room where you also want to place a TV set, but such equipment does not suit you to the character of the parties you plan to organize in this room? You can divide this place into two parts by means of such a door. When they are closed, the salon will immediately take on a much more official character. But just move the door away to access your TV and turn your living room into a normal living room. Another interesting idea to create such a free space is to create a play area for children. Of course, we have to make sure that this place is completely safe for kids, but with proper equipment and toys and other accessories we will be able to leave their kids there without any fear. For children, the very fact that they have their own magical, mysterious corner hidden behind such a door is very special.
Another idea is to set up a working room there. Many people work from home, but sometimes it is difficult to get the right conditions for concentration. Behind a sliding door we can create a kind of oasis in which we can hide from other household members and prepare appropriate conditions for concentration. Regardless of what we intend to arrange in such a place behind a mysterious door, in any case we should take care of maximum order there. In most situations it is supposed to be a kind of oasis in which we can break away from the rest of the house - then it is worth to be sure that in such an interior there will be full harmony. It is, of course, difficult to clearly define what order is to be put in such a place, because everything depends on its purpose and size. Completely different assumptions must be implemented in the wardrobe or dressing room, and the other - in the workplace. However, it is worthwhile to start planning such things already at the stage of decorating the house; we need to know in advance what the place behind the sliding door is for. Only then we will be able to determine, which additions should be placed in there in order for such a room to be fully functional.
Just setting up a place behind such a door is just one thing. Last but not least, it is important to choose the right door that will fit well into the rest of the room and that will provide us with comfort in everyday use. At present, we can meet a huge selection of such fronts in shops, made of various materials. It is worthwhile to devote some time to this issue and first of all to familiarize yourself with the most popular materials. Wood is definitely the best choice for lovers of more traditional solutions, but not only. Sliding doors are rarely made of solid wood, rather plywood is used which is much lighter. In the case of this material we have a wide range of possibilities when it comes to the choice of colours. Such doors can also be very decorative. Glass doors will be a good idea both in modern and smaller interiors. Glass is a material that can effectively optically enlarge any room, so it is worth using it when you do not have much space in the space. Glass, of course, does not have to be transparent, so the door can still provide complete discretion in our corner. One of the most interesting and original solutions are metal doors. They are used only in quite characteristic styles, but can be a great proposition for anyone who likes original ideas. However, you have to be prepared for the fact that they are heavier than most other materials.
