Sliding-door wardrobe in the modern life

There is an opinion that the Italian designers worked out the sliding-door wardrobes especially for mass type dwelling. The practical Americans got the wardrobe into shape. The replaced the screen to the door, fastened the plastic casters to it and made it move along the “narrow-gauge” railway.

The following decades were spent for revision of the wardrobe: the doors began to me made completely mirror and they were strengthen with the special protective tape for not to be broken, the roller mechanism improved. And now the modernized sliding-door wardrobe is as indispensable attribute of the house as the traditional fireplace for conservative Englishmen.

The distinctive feature and main advantage of any sliding-door wardrobe is its doors creating for economizing the useful space of dwelling. On the quite limited area the owner will be able to place a great many of things.

There are two various systems of sliding doors. The most popular is when the door in the steel or aluminum frame moves in the groove on the rolls of plastic or steel. Such method of fixing has its own demerits: the high doors can slide off from the guide because of hard blow and small things, dust and rubbish cluttering in the groove prevent the light sliding of doors. At other method of fixing the doors are “hanged”: the rollers go along the upper guide and lower edge of the door either does not touch the floor (like in the case with room dividers) or have the supporting rollers (in the separate wardrobe). Such systems are well-protected from dust and grits.

The wardrobe allows containing many things and filling the whole space till the ceiling with them. It is possible to hide things of non-standard size which do not blend with the design of apartment (vacuum cleaner, ironing-board, skies). The beautiful wardrobe will help to verify and decorate the interior of apartment of house. For example, the classic type of built-in mirror sliding-door wardrobe (strict straight lines till the ceiling) ideally suits to the niche where the built-in wardrobe is imperceptible and creates the effect of “mirror wall”. Besides this the dividers which allow both effectively increase and if it is necessary diminish the space of apartment are very fashionable now. And at least the most important characteristic is the optimal usage of area because there will not be “dead zones” in your apartment any more.

The sliding-door wardrobe will settle down anywhere: in the kitchen, hall, living room, children room. Now many companies supplement the wardrobe with the desk and shelves for books and sometimes even with single- or double beds what makes the purchase very profitable for the client.

Children bunk beds

Children room should be beautiful and cozy. Therefore everything is important in it: both the size of the room and design of interior and set of furniture. But it is possible to mark out the main element of furniture on which the normal rest and sleeping of child depends. Of course this is a sleeping place. Depending on the age it can be bed, sofa, or chair-bed.

If there are two children in the family and the apartment is not big, there can be problems not only with placing the furniture but also with free space in the room. In this case the optimal variant is the bunk bed.

The children bunk bed not only blends with the interior of children room but also helps to economize place necessary for other purposes. If you have two children, owing to such bed you get two sleeping places which take the area of one. However the bunk bed is comfortable even in the case when only one child live in the children room. Children always like something unusual - for example, to climb to the bed along the stairs and sleep on the second floor. Second, such bed allows setting free the space in the room. Under the upper level the desk or computer table, wardrobe for clothes can be set or just there is enough free place for games.

The classic bunk bed consists of two beds (lower and upper) and stairs. The upper level must obligatory have the barrier for safety of your child.

Shelves in our dwelling and life

Shelves are one of the means to bring variety into the architecture of boring apartment. They can frame the windows, occupy the whole wall, form the alcove; be placed at the same level, stepwise, confusedly. In the case the main thing is to keep the proportions. The length, width and thickness of the shelves should combine with the proportions of the room and correspond with the load on the effective area which you plan.

In our dwelling the shelves perform two functions:

1) practical – it is comfortable to place and keep things which you always need to be at your fingertips (books, pictures, dishes, CDs and so on);

2) decorative – their surfaces are used for placing decorative things beautifying the room (sculptures, pictures, collections, house plants, live flowers and so on)

The shelves of untraditional form which placed and fixed some unusual way allow economizing place and used as merry and stylish element of décor. For example, when the common shelf is too big, the shelves of sector form can be successfully used. Sometimes it is very difficult to choose the furniture for the small hall of complex form. Corner shelves-sectors is the original decision of this problem allowing to organize the keeping of necessary things in the hall not encumbering the tight placement with bulky furniture.

Choose the material of the shelves according to your taste taking into consideration its value, practicality, the level of correspondence with the interior of your house. The shelves made of natural wood are beautiful (texture and shade of wood varies from gold-yellow pine to dark red-brown oak), firm, ecological but quit expensive. Shelves of any form and size can be also made of resin-bonded chipboard; they can be painted in any color, covered with varnish or pasted over with self-adhesive film (in imitation of wood or marble).

Glass visually increases and deepens the space; some of its characteristics can be used for creating unusual effects: glass shelves are almost invisible; things which you place on them look like soaring in the air. However the dust on such shelves is very noticeable and it is not easy to keep them clean.

Metal shelves of the industrial production (lattice, made of iron plate, with the holes of different forms and diameter) are the stylish element of interior. The texture of their surface is wonderfully combined with nickel, noncorrosive steel of the kitchen or sanitaryware equipment, chromium-plated details of furniture. The lattice shelves almost do not keep air but it is difficult to clean them, they are comfortable for magazines or shoes.

Deciding on the material and size, it is necessary to think out how to fix the shelves. There are many variants both traditional and modernistic.

For benefit of the first one the reliability and simplicity of fixing which were checked with the time: the shelves are hanged on the screws or fixed on the laths or metal scrids nailed to the wall. But you also can have a desire to hang the nonstandard shelves to the ceiling, build the halogen lights into them or fix the shelves on the board-support. As a result you will get the stylish detail of interior which revives the space, make it unlike other ones, special and individual.

Dress-dresser inspired by Coco Chanel

In 1926 the great woman Coco Chanel made the small black dress to be a synonym of fashion and style. It is assigned to the type of things which are necessary among the clothes of any woman. It is appropriate everywhere and always.

The designer Judson Beaumont inspired by Coco made … a dresser for bedroom from a small black dress.

The real creator Judson Beaumont treats very tremulously to everything elegant, womanly and refined. He works exceptionally with black color and soft curves, accurate lines…

It is difficult to remember cases when the clothes turn into the furniture.

The Little Black Dresser as a real dress must be suspended on the hanger. But the hanger will be fixed not in the wardrobe but on the wall of the room.

The dresser has four cases of different sizes where the adornments, bijouterie, means of hygiene, underwear and many other things. But you will not be able to keep the dresses there – they will become crumpled.

The dresser does not block up the placement, does not need much place and the main thing is that it looks very refined on the wall of your room.

On the site of the producer – the company Straight Line Designs Inc – it does not mentioned how much this unique dresser for the female bedroom costs. But there is a suspicion that it is not cheap – as any other original designer furniture.
