A sliding wardrobe with a mezzanine is a smart and convenient way of organizing things, which is suitable for placement in a nursery, living room or other rooms. The mezzanine is a structure with additional shelves that uses all the free space above the wardrobe up to the ceiling. Its use allows you to store seasonal clothes and other little-used items that were previously simply dumped on top of the closet in boxes or bundles.

A good choice for small apartments

Sliding wardrobes with a mezzanine can be called universal, because they look good both in the bedroom and in the living room. There are several advantages of this design:

• Organized storage of rarely used items.
• Structural strength.
• The choice of artistic and coloristic solutions in the design of the facade.

At your request, the constructive basis can include more or less sectional sections. The appearance of the upper compartment can repeat the overall design of all furniture, but it can be different. For example, if the facade is with mirror inserts, then the upper part can be made deaf, made of the main material (chipboard, MDF, solid wood).

Throughout life, a person acquires many different things. Some of them are in constant use, and some are rarely used. It is important to place these things correctly in the house so that everything is in its place, there is no clutter in the room. By installing a sliding wardrobe with a mezzanine, you can organize the correct storage of things, especially when it comes to small rooms.

Therefore, a mezzanine cabinet will be especially useful since the usually empty upper area will be used. To visually make the room more spacious, it is necessary to choose furniture of light colors;
• the mezzanines in the bedroom do not have to be closed - open shelves will also fit into the interior perfectly, on which bed linen, warm blankets and other things will be stored. Such a structure can even be placed at the head of the bed - then the maximum usable area will remain in the room. In the photo you can see different options for mezzanines for the bedroom, the final choice depends on personal preference;
• a wardrobe with a mezzanine above the door is suitable for a living room. If old magazines and other unsightly things are stored there, the doors can be made deaf. But for storing a family library, open ceiling shelves or with transparent glass doors are perfect.

Main selection criteria

The practicality of any furniture largely depends on the correctness of its choice. Cabinets with ceiling shelves are no exception. What points should you pay attention to when choosing a wardrobe in country style or in any other style:

• the type of mechanism that closes the doors - for large enough rooms, you can safely choose swing structures. The advantage of this option is its attractive appearance and compatibility with most interior styles. For small rooms, it is better to choose roller mechanisms (compartment);
• mezzanines can be visually separated from the main area of ​​the cabinet or be its continuation, having a common door leaf;
• the number of shelves and drawers, their depth and dimensions. In order to choose all these parameters correctly, you need to think in advance what kind of things will be stored in them. The height of the mezzanine can also be different - if it reaches the ceiling, then there will be more space, but access to the highest shelf will be difficult;
• quality of fittings and fasteners. They must be strong and durable. Plastic fittings are more affordable in terms of cost, but their service life is very limited;
• case material - panels made of valuable wood will look more elegant. But also MDF, chipboard or laminated chipboard, raw materials made in accordance with the technology, in their characteristics are practically not inferior to expensive natural material;
• and one more important point - a new piece of furniture should organically fit into the overall design of the room. In order to avoid annoying mistakes with the choice, you can use the help of professionals who can visualize each of the options under consideration. After looking at the photos of ready-made solutions, it is easy to determine the most suitable one.

It is no secret that hanging shelves are a very convenient invention, but they are not always combined with the interior. A wardrobe with a mezzanine, which can harmoniously fit into any home, can be considered a good substitute.

Buying a wardrobe with a mezzanine is a good way out of a situation if you have nowhere to store things. With its excellent spaciousness, it will help you organize the space correctly.

Features and Benefits

A sliding wardrobe with a mezzanine has its own advantages:

• Compactness and space saving;
• Multifunctionality;
• Spaciousness due to various drawers and shelves.

One of the most important properties of the mezzanine, in addition to multifunctionality, is that it is able to act on the visual perception of the height of the room. Of course, this is only visually, but sometimes this feature plays a very important role, especially for a room with a small area.

Views

The mezzanine with a wardrobe differs in the properties of the doors:

• Sliding, which is extremely convenient, because space is saved due to such opening of the doors;
• Swing;
• Harmonic. Such a system can be found not so often, because its use requires free space inside.

Similar furniture with a mezzanine can be purchased in stores already assembled. It will not be difficult to find it, especially since today the furniture market offers a wide variety of all kinds of such models for every taste and wallet. If you wish, you can generally purchase a separate cabinet and shelves, and assemble them according to the mezzanine principle.

But the most problem-free view is considered furniture with side shelves, which can be installed in a niche. This is an ideal solution for those who do not know how to do so in order to save space in the apartment and at the same time not spoil the interior. With the built-in wardrobe in the niche with a mezzanine, you can independently take into account how many shelves you need.

Material

Types of panels for sliding wardrobes with a mezzanine:

• Wood;
• MDF or chipboard;
• Mirror;
• Plastic;
• Glass.

It is important to note that panels made of mirrors or glass can be made either in the same color scheme, or be multi-colored or with a pattern.

Particular attention should be paid to small parts and fasteners. These parts must be of good quality, strength and reliability. It is better not to save money and not buy plastic materials, they can break.

Decor

As you know, mezzanines are cabinets with doors, which are located near the ceiling. Probably many of you have come across open shelves in your homes, due to which you can see all the things inside. Usually the owners keep there seasonal clothes, shoe boxes and many other things.

One of the most common decoration methods is lighting. Typically, lamps are built into the gap above the ceiling so that in the dark it is possible to see everything that is required.

Additional shelves of various shapes can be attached to the side parts of the wardrobe with a mezzanine. Usually they are used as bookshelves, as pot holders with indoor flowers and all sorts of little things. Inside the wardrobe, compartments can be located where it is convenient to store small things.

A sliding wardrobe with a mezzanine fits almost any interior. Despite this, when buying it, you should follow important rules: for example, think in advance for which room you are purchasing furniture - for the living room, bedroom, corridor, what things you will keep in it.

Maybe you should decide to buy a small-sized wardrobe with a mezzanine, or, conversely, take a closer look at a model that is the size of an entire wall. The latter option is ideal for storing a huge amount of things in it. A big plus will be the ability to free the room from other furniture and shelves.

The dimensions of the mezzanine play a very important role. If it is wide and not supported by any structure, there is a possibility that the shelves will bend under the weight of things.

In practice, it is believed that one of the most convenient storage options is the mezzanine, which is not divided into compartments. After all, then you will have the opportunity to put things of a large size there. Be sure to take a close look at the quality of the fasteners. This will determine whether the doors move easily after the furniture is assembled.

It is believed that most often a wardrobe with a mezzanine is placed in the corridor. This is understandable, because this is exactly the room where we usually keep clothes that we wear seasonally or extremely rarely. If you do not like to make a mess in other rooms, installing a cabinet in the hallway will be the perfect solution for you. In addition, in many houses, niches are provided in the corridors, due to which a wardrobe with a mezzanine can easily fit in the hallway. Thus, you do not take up much space, but you can get a smart way to store things.

Interior ideas

Modern models have a wide selection. Facades and doors can be made in one color or decorated with all kinds of patterns. A large mirror or glass elements serve as an addition.

Sliding wardrobes with mezzanines can be installed in almost any room. Despite this, when choosing furniture, it is always best to consider that it should be combined with the style in the interior. It is not correct to mix different styles. If you are not entirely sure that you can cope with the choice on your own, it is better to seek help from a designer. He will give you the right advice and help you make a worthy choice.
