Narrow wardrobes 40 cm deep

Cabinets of standard sizes are often not suitable for small areas, especially hallways and rooms in small-sized housing. A wardrobe with a depth of 40 cm is an excellent option that solves this problem.

  • Saving space. The doors of such furniture move to the side when opened. In wardrobes of this type, you can compactly place clothes and shoes for all family members.
  • Multiple execution options. One of the sections of the wardrobe with a depth of 40 cm in the hallway can be left open and equipped with hooks or rods for retractable type hangers. The front panel can be made mirrored. This eliminates the need to hang a separate mirror in the hallway. Thus, furniture of this type replaces several items. This allows you not to clutter up the already small area of \u200b\u200bthe hallway.
  • The reliability of such furniture. The sliding door mechanism is devoid of the disadvantages of hinged doors. It is enough to clean the guides in time and monitor the condition of the mechanisms so that such furniture will serve for many years.
  • Sliding wardrobes are universal, they are well suited for all design solutions for rooms. Furniture of this type can be installed in bedrooms, hallways and other rooms. Sliding wardrobes can serve to divide a room into parts and create several functional areas.

Varieties of wardrobes

  • Sliding wardrobes of cabinet design. Furniture of this type has side and rear walls. If necessary, such a cabinet is easy to move.
  • Built-in wardrobes do not have side and rear walls. Such furniture is designed to be installed in niches. Sliding wardrobes 40 cm deep for hallways are made to order. It is convenient to place such cabinets in the recesses vacated after the redevelopment of the pantries.
  • Semi-built-in wardrobes. This type of furniture is characterized by the absence of a back wall or one of the side panels. Cabinets of this type are made to order, based on measurements and the shape of the niche where they are planned to be placed.

According to the design, they are distinguished

  • Sliding wardrobes of rectangular shape. Furniture of this design is the most common, as standard hallways are rectangular in shape.
  • Sliding wardrobes of radius type. The front facade of these cabinets has the shape of a convex semicircle. Sliding wardrobes of this form have an original design and, despite the high cost, are very popular.
  • Corner wardrobes. This furniture is made in two versions: in the shape of a triangle or in the shape of the letter G. The latter option consists of two parts that are in contact with side panels. Triangular-shaped furniture is installed in a convex corner.

Features of wardrobes 40 cm deep

Cabinets of small depth are somewhat different from their counterparts in standard sizes. The shallow depth does not allow placing elements that are typical for furniture of standard sizes. In particular, longitudinal bars for hangers in narrow wardrobes 40 cm deep have been replaced with transverse ones. Bars for hangers can be stationary and retractable.

If necessary, two or more transverse bars can be placed. They can be placed at the same height or one below the other. A variant with an open section with hooks for clothes inside is possible.

Many sliding elements, typical for wardrobes of standard dimensions, are replaced with shelves. This solution provides a large capacity for furniture of small depth.

Facade panels or sliding doors of wardrobes 40 cm deep in the hallway are often mirrored. This allows you to visually expand the room.

Before buying a cabinet, it is recommended to pay attention to the presence and design of drawers for small everyday items. The sliding mechanism must have stops that prevent them from falling out. Drawer handles must not interfere with the opening or closing of sliding doors.
