Kinds

Radius design can be presented in several varieties, significantly different from each other in shape. During the selection, it takes into account the size of the space allocated for installation, as well as which shape is preferred for future users.

The shape of the radius wardrobe can be:

convex - most often this form has a built-in wardrobe, installed in any niche. It is ideal for areas that are not suitable for the installation of standard interior items. Such a radius wardrobe is often chosen for a hallway or a small pantry, remodeling into a small dressing room;
concave - in such cabinets there are doors that are slightly pressed inward. Due to this design, a visual increase in the surrounding space is provided, and this is especially true when mirroring swing doors. The unusual shape guarantees smoothing of corners, so the room becomes deeper and more spacious. A concave wardrobe often adorns standard interiors;
combined - this form for radial cabinets is used quite often. It involves the combination of features and appearance of the two above varieties. Therefore, we get cabinets that look like a wave, which is convex in one place and concave in another. Such designs look great with a glass door in the living room or bedroom;
round - perfectly fit into the hi-tech style, as they resemble an unusual and modern capsule. Such cabinets with a radius section have an unusual feature, as they fit well only in rooms with large dimensions. Therefore, if there is a small living room, then it is better to choose another model;
corner - such a cabinet, which has a mirror facade, is considered an ideal choice in a room that has small dimensions. It can be made in white or other colors. It has a triangular shape at the base, but at the same time retains a radial structure. Furniture with this radius is easy to install and can also be equipped with straight sections and shelves. The cost of corner models is considered affordable, and they are also universal, therefore they can be installed in various rooms regardless of their size.

When choosing any model of a sliding wardrobe, you should carefully study all the components of the door opening mechanism, so the profile dimensions, the material of the guides and the quality of the rollers are taken into account. Most buyers prefer to use a concave cabinet due to its specific appearance.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the cabinet radially made cabinets that are equipped with rear and side walls. They have different shelves, bottom and cover. No fitting is required for such furniture, so it is easy to install in any place chosen in advance by users. Cabinet cabinets are a single design that can easily be moved around the living room.

Also, often people prefer to use the built-in design. It is not equipped with side walls, so the walls of the room are usually used as them. The floor acts as the bottom, and instead of the lid, the ceiling of the room is used. Due to the specific dimensions of the cabinet itself and the doors, such furniture is usually custom made. The built-in cabinet is selected depending on the size of the existing niche allocated for installation.

Materials of manufacture

A straight or radial cabinet is created from different materials. Most often used for these purposes:

natural wood, guaranteeing the receipt of unusually refined and attractive designs that have a high price;
a variety of lumber makes it possible to create inexpensive and beautiful cabinets, but often they contain formaldehydes, and they must also be protected from moisture, otherwise they will not be able to last for a long time;
plastic provides the formation of affordable constructions, and you can get white, red or some other interior item, but it is important to protect it from various mechanical influences in order to prevent the formation of scratches, which cannot be removed from the plastic surface;
metal makes it possible to make a durable and resistant interior item, on the shelves of which you can place numerous large-sized and heavy elements, but it is considered not too beautiful and suitable for living quarters, and also dangerous for children.

Separately taken into account from what material the doors are made. To create the doors, the same material can be used that was used to form the sides, bottom and other parts of the cabinet, and other materials can also be used. Often a coupe with a mirror is created, which is attached to the door, therefore it has identical dimensions to it. If the design is equipped with swing wings, they are made the most robust and reliable. Often, tempered glass is used for this, providing a really beautiful view of the whole interior. For the hinged structure can be used to decorate the doors of paintings, films and drawings applied in different ways.

Also, when choosing an interior item, it is necessary to determine what profiles will be made of, intended for fastening and using doors. They can be aluminum or metal. The service life and ease of use of furniture depends on the quality and reliability of the profiles.

Filling

Another important factor in the competent choice of a radius wardrobe is considered to be its filling. For this, different storage systems can be used, but the elements used for filling are standard:

separate large sections, usually intended for storing really large and heavy objects;
numerous shelves that can be located at different distances from each other, and when choosing shelves it is recommended to give preference to massive and reliable designs;
small coasters for souvenirs or cosmetics;
drawers in which underwear is often stored;
stands for umbrellas;
large compartments for oversized bags or other similar items;
a pipe used to store various crumpled things on shoulders.

Some models are issued empty inside, which allows each user to take into account their own preferences when filling, as well as plan exactly what items will be placed on shelves or other storage systems. This interior item is certainly equipped with shelves, and other parts may depend on its size and other parameters.

Style and Sizes

In the cabinet must certainly create a convenient space for storing numerous items. But at the same time, it is taken into account that the design must be beautiful and well combined with other furniture available in the room.

The style of decoration depends on the interior, therefore, cabinets made in the style of classic, retro, minimalism or hi-tech are allowed to choose. There is a significant difference between these cabinets, as they have different colors and designs. Often a white wardrobe is chosen, and it is considered the ideal choice for a small room. This is due to the fact that the white design visually expands the space.

The sizes of radius cabinets can be different, as they depend on the shape of the product. Standardly, the height does not exceed 2 meters, the length is from 80 cm to 3 meters, and the depth starts from 35 cm and ends with 1 m.

During the selection of cabinet dimensions, various factors are taken into account:

space allocated for installation;
the number of items that will be stored on the shelves, as well as their size;
number of people using the cabinet for its intended purpose;
construction cost.

Often angular structures are acquired, since they seem small in appearance, take up really little space, but their internal space is considered spacious and roomy.

Selection rules

When choosing a specific radial sliding wardrobe, numerous criteria are taken into account, making it possible to choose a high-quality design. These include:

the quality of the materials from which the various elements of the cabinet are made must be high, and they must also be environmentally friendly;
each internal element used in the cabinet must be multifunctional, convenient and durable, so that different objects can be placed on it;
design style and colors should ideally match the premises and preferences of the owners;
cost for many buyers is considered a priority factor, but it is not recommended to pay attention to the cheapest concave designs, as they are created from low-quality materials, therefore they will not last too long, and they will quickly lose their attractive appearance;
the dimensions should ideally fit the place chosen for installation.

Thus, the radius of the sliding door wardrobe, the photos of which are collected in a selection, are popular designs that have good capacity and an interesting look.
