A cabinet designed for storing bedding and underwear, outerwear, bath accessories (towels, bathrobes), etc. For owners of a large area, it is not difficult to acquire a large cabinet.
Those who are less fortunate cannot afford such luxury, because such furniture will visually reduce the already small territory.
We select a wardrobe
If you are the owner of a sufficiently large-sized house and your plans for the near future include the purchase of a large cabinet, then when purchasing it, pay attention to the following tips from famous designers.
Prefer a large wardrobe. Every year the number of family members increases - the appearance of the child, the relocation of relatives, and the place for things is becoming less and less. In the future, you will thank yourself.
Multifunctional walls and floor - in the case of a large built-in wardrobe, wardrobe, wall, are the components of the fastening. Do not forget that the walls and floor must be flat, otherwise the cabinet will be in an inclined state and will fall over time.
Also, exclude plasterboard trim and similar materials - the walls will crack under the weight of the attached load.
The way to open the cabinet doors. The wardrobe, located in the hallway, bedroom or living room, must be equipped with doors with a frame. A door of this type moves along the groove, sometimes the roller slides and falls out. Therefore, this door mechanism is not considered reliable, high-quality.
If you decide to buy a large sliding wardrobe, then give preference to a system more robust - monorail. Suppose that such a design will be more expensive, but as they say: "Avaricious pays twice." Having bought a cheap option, you risk constantly spending money on its repair.
Aluminum profiles. Such profiles are more reliable than others and more expensive, do not make any sounds, do not deform. You should not save on material, it is better to spend one time and get first-class products.
The width of the moving part. The door should not exceed a width of 1 m. If it is wider, it will move worse and slower. Due to frequent use, the sliding door will become loose, will lose its properties.
What is worth paying attention to when buying a large cabinet?

In order not to run into scammers, buy things only in trusted places, then the goods will come in quality and on time.
When buying in furniture stores or cabinet sales, check the integrity of the entire structure. In expensive stores, ask for a certificate from the manufacturer; if there is no certificate, choose another place to buy.
After choosing a store, check the quality of the material, accessories, accuracy of the product. Low-quality furniture makes itself look cheap (raw and defective material, poorly nailed back wall). If the furniture is well made, nothing hangs, take a look at its cost. For high-quality furniture, the manufacturer will never ask for a low price.

Design features
Large cabinets are elements of furniture that differ in significant dimensions. There is no single standard that allows you to accurately divide these designs by size.
The length of the cabinet is often limited by the width and length of the wall, as they completely cover them. Such a design consists of several independent compartments that are fastened together.
Large cabinets are very rarely installed in small rooms, as they take up a lot of space. These products are made both from solid blocks, so assembled from several modules.
The largest cabinet in the world has very impressive dimensions:
- width - 4.07 m,
- depth -1.5 m
- height - 6 m.
The main task of huge closets is to store clothes. Here you can place both folded shirts and hanging suits. Moreover, the design allows you to qualitatively sort all of these elements in order to further simplify the search.
The use of dimensional furniture has long been a peculiar trend. This led to the emergence of many of its modifications.
Large cabinets that can be divided into several types succumbed to this influence:
- Case. Structures of this type are installed along one of the walls, covering it completely. But there are products that do not fully occupy this space. This leads to the formation of a small niche that should be decorated or adapted to personal preferences.
- Corner Structures of this type are located along two joined walls. Please note that at the same time they can also occupy more and more free space along them. They are relatively rare, as they take up a lot of space even in bulky rooms.
- Embedded. Cabinets of this type are the most popular. Although they can occupy the entire wall, but at the same time form an integral system with it. The width of such modifications is slightly smaller, which allows you to hide them in special niches.
As for materials, such furniture is made from the same components that are used to produce classic models. The cheapest models are obtained from chipboard sheets that complement MDF and a small amount of glass and metal.
More expensive products are made of wood.
Solid wood cabinets have a unique and sophisticated design, as well as durability and practicality. But at the same time their weight increases, which does not allow them to move independently.
Benefits
Large cabinets complement many interiors, as they have many positive aspects:
- Product capacity is much largerthat allows you to accommodate all things. However, here you can sort them by any criterion that you like. Moreover, the type and number of shelves, as well as their sizes, can be selected according to personal preference.
- A unique element of decor. Today, designers make cabinets not only with a large number of shelves, but also with unique decorative qualities. This will highlight furniture in a separate area.
- Universality. In one of the niches of this design, you can install a small TV or equip a shelf for storing a vacuum cleaner.
It should be understood that this design does not solve all the problems of storage. Such products can only be installed in rooms with a large area, since they take up a lot of space.
In a small room, it is better to use modular versions of cabinets that can be installed in various places.
Also, a large cabinet is very difficult to fit into the overall interior. To achieve the desired effect, you should trust the solution of such problems to experienced designers.

Use in the interior
The significant dimensions of the cabinets can be one of the most significant reasons why many do not use them. But it should be understood that these products can be adapted to almost any room.
Today, large cabinets are increasingly found in several rooms:

Inside this peculiar niche you can arrange a bed or organize a small dressing room.
