The wardrobe is a relatively large piece of furniture in the bedroom, and the general bedroom area is relatively compact. Therefore, when designing and arranging the bedroom, every detail is crucial; such as the way the wardrobe opens the door. , there are two methods: flat doors and sliding doors, which is also a factor that has a greater impact on bedroom design; different wardrobe door opening methods will have obvious differences in the use of wardrobes, space utilization, and appearance effects. So, is it better to use flat doors or sliding doors for the wardrobe? Let’s talk about this topic below!

1. Which type of wardrobe is more useful, whether flat doors or sliding doors?

In terms of user experience, the difference between swing doors and sliding doors is quite big!

①Hinged door wardrobes can be fully opened

First of all, it must be a flat door. The wardrobe is more convenient and easy to use, because the wardrobe with flat doors can put all theWith wardrobe doors that open, all the cabinets inside the wardrobe are clearly visible, making it easier to organize and find clothes; with sliding door wardrobes, the doors slide left and right, and only part of the wardrobe can always be opened, making it relatively troublesome to organize the wardrobe and find clothes. point.

▲The swing door wardrobe can be fully opened, so the inside can be seen at a glance.

②The opening and closing of the sliding door wardrobe is easily blocked

When the sliding door wardrobe door opens and closes, it slides and pulls against the wardrobe. If the depth of the wardrobe is not very large and there are relatively large sweaters, down jackets, and coats hanging inside, the door opens and closes. It may be rubbed by these large clothes, affecting the smoothness of opening and closing the door.

▲The sliding door will be affected by large items of clothing when opening and closing the door.

③The sliding door wardrobe guide rails are difficult to maintain

The sliding door wardrobe guide rails will also become damaged when the door is closed. Part of it is exposed, which is a sanitary corner that is difficult to clean. If dust and hair fall in, it will easily cause the sliding door guide rail to become unsmooth over time.

▲The guide rail of the wardrobe sliding door is a sanitary blind spot.

2. Which kind of wardrobe saves more space between flat doors and sliding doors?

About wardrobe space saving The argument must be viewed from two anglesIn terms of degrees, they are: the size of the cabinet itself and the space required for the layout of the cabinet.

①The sliding door wardrobe has a larger appearance

The swing door wardrobe uses door hinges Just install the cabinet door. The depth of the wardrobe = the depth of the cabinet + the thickness of the cabinet door. The thickness of the cabinet door is generally 1.8cm;

▲The overall appearance size of the swing door should be relatively thin.

The installation of sliding doors requires an extra layer of guide rails and wardrobes Depth = cabinet depth + guide rail thickness. The guide rail thickness varies from 8 to 10 cm. Based on this calculation, the appearance size of the wardrobe with sliding doors is thicker than that of flat doors, which is about 6 to 8 cm thicker.

▲Sliding door wardrobe, after adding guide rails, the cabinet will be thicker.

②Hinged doors require large space dimensions

Although the swing door is 6-8cm thinner without guide rails, the cabinet door of the swing door opens to the space other than the wardrobe. This means that within the opening area of ​​the cabinet door of the swing door wardrobe, There should be no other furniture (such as bedside tables), and sufficient space should be reserved for the passage between the wardrobe and the bed to avoid being blocked by the bed and bedside tables when opening the cabinet door.

▲For example, in the wardrobe pictured above, the innermost cabinet door may be blocked by the bedside table.

As for the sliding door wardrobe, even if it is arranged next to the bed, bedside table and other furniture, as long as the furniture next to it is not too high , will not affect the opening and use of the cabinet door.

▲The sliding door wardrobe is not affected by anything other than the wardrobe and can be arranged next to furniture.

3. Which is the case between swing doors and sliding doors? Does a wardrobe look better?

From an aesthetic point of view, the wardrobe with swing doors has a smooth and simple appearance after closing the door, which is relatively more beautiful;

▲Single door wardrobe exteriorThe view is simple and elegant.

After closing the door of the sliding door wardrobe, Since the guide rails are staggered, the cabinet doors are not on the same plane, and part of the rails are exposed, making the overall appearance less simple and elegant.

▲The doors of the sliding door wardrobe are uneven and not so beautiful.

In addition to the space requirements for display, the swing door wardrobe In addition to being large, from the perspective of beauty, practicality and user experience, wardrobes with flat doors will be more outstanding. Therefore, if the space is large enough, I strongly recommend choosing a wardrobe with flat doors. Are you going to use a swing door or a sliding door for your wardrobe?
