The supports will be the ceiling and floor, and correctly selected fittings, the main details of the fastenings will create the impression of solid cabinet furniture. The owner only has to decide on the choice of the number of door designs. A built-in wardrobe in a classic style, as in the photo, is ideal for a small cozy bedroom or hallway where there is a niche. Almost any recess in the wall about two meters wide can be equipped in a convenient cabinet. This saves space, and the room takes on a finished look without a dull empty corner;
- angular - also a competent solution for the rational distribution of free space. They can also be either enclosed or built-in. The latter are devoid of rear walls, and sometimes side walls, if the cabinet extends over the entire width of the room. The supports are the ceiling, walls, floor. As for the other option, the cabinet cabinet is a full-fledged design with all parts and its own supports. If the room is too narrow, and there is a lot of useful space, then for such purposes the U-shaped cabinet, which occupies an entire wall and goes into both adjacent ones, is the best suited. L-shaped model fits perfectly into one corner;
- wardrobes - ergonomic cabinets for clothes, shoes, accessories with wide functionality. The filling is varied, you can place any part of the wardrobe in a specially designated place. The wardrobe can be decorated with classic details both outside and inside.

Built inCaseAngularMaterials of manufacture
The photo clearly shows that most classic models look as natural as possible in terms of their "origin". Massive natural wood products are now quite rare, as well as from glued boards. Such classic furniture will be excessively expensive, bulky, costly to manufacture and maintain.
Therefore, the furniture market is dominated by classic cabinets made of MDF boards. They are more practical, easier to operate and more versatile in terms of combination with other materials. If desired, you can find such workshops where they will undertake to make an exclusive product from a wooden plate. Such a model will be very expensive and will only be found in an elite furniture salon.
As for the decor, there are practically no boundaries. The designer can use all the most chic and noble materials as the design of a classic cabinet:
- natural stone, polished or unprocessed;
- nacre;
- gold, silver plating;
- gypsum (for decorative elements, stucco moldings);
- glass (stained-glass windows, transparent, frosted inserts);
- mirror (darkened, color, matte);
- leather.
WoodenMirrorMDFThere is no place for cheap plastic here only if it imitates wood or any other of the above materials as successfully as possible. It’s also a classic, which is most similar to the decoration of the magnificent halls of European palaces and estates several centuries ago.
Shape and color
The color scheme is surprising in its rigor. It is logical to assume that classic facades are decorated with the natural color of wood: from milky white to black color of dark chocolate. The latter is extremely advantageously complemented by gold lines and monograms.
A white wardrobe will become the crown of any interior. A wide range of light shades will make you smash your head:
- lactic;
- cream;
- ivory;
- beige;
- Champagne
- delicate mother of pearl and other variations of white.
In addition to elegant whiteness, the basis of the classic cabinets palette is brown. Calm, discreet shades make up the main color gamut of the style. As a rule, they are made plain. Sometimes a combination of decorative elements is possible a little darker or slightly lighter, one or two steps.
The classic interior excludes flashy bright colors both in the decoration of the walls and in the decoration of furniture.
The main colors that modern stores offer are:
- cherry;
- Apple tree;
- maple;
- alder;
- beech;
- white;
- wenge magic;
- dark wenge;
- hazelnut;
- dark walnut.
A great option for decorating cabinet doors is patination, that is, the effect of aged wood. Imitation of natural aging looks very noble, giving the impression of valuable antiques. Such a vintage will fit only in a truly classic interior with old vases, massive interior doors with gilded handles, a four-poster bed, and a great-grandmother's chest of drawers.
Classics correspond to strict forms, solid geometry and symmetry. The corners are mostly straight, sometimes roundness occurs. Most often, these are cornices at the top of the structure or decor elements. By the way, in most cases he is modest, restrained. But the beauty of the patterns and ornaments is such that there is nothing more to add.
Filling
Do not think that classic cabinets are just as concise inside. Modern models are quite roomy and ergonomic. You can choose a variety of configurations for various needs. Filling the cabinet depends on the room itself, as well as the number of people using the cabinet.
So, for example, a cabinet with a glass showcase is suitable in the living room, where you should put a family service or elegant vases made of crystal. Furniture with a stand will stand perfectly in the hall, in the open space you can arrange personal photos, put pictures, crafts of children or home-made embroidery. For cabinets, library cabinets with many shelves are purchased; they fit perfectly into the austere classic interior with an oak table and a chief's chair.
In the hallway you need a classic closet, preferably with sliding doors - to save space. There should be as many compartments for outerwear, hats, gloves, shoes, care products for all this and other street accessories. Of course, a very practical solution would be at least one mirrored door to preen before leaving.
Filling the closet into the nursery should be universal. Since a schoolchild’s child usually doesn’t have so many things (like an adult, for example), you can get by with one wardrobe, combined with several shelves for things. The second module can be a mini library, that is, shelves for textbooks, notebooks and other educational supplies.
As for the bedroom, everything is clear: a spacious wardrobe with several sections designed for bedding, bathrobes and basic clothes. Extendable drawers for underwear will also be useful. A roomy mezzanine under the ceiling, where you can put seasonal clothes, shoes and other things, will be a great addition, a bright highlight.
Having studied the photo, you can understand that the internal content of classic models is practically no different from modern cabinets, including coupes. The main thing is to know how much useful space is needed and whether there is additional furniture in the room just in case.
Modern design idea allows you to combine the rigor of external forms and lines of the facade with many drawers, shelves inside the cabinet. Retractable rods, mirrors and other hidden structures add a twist to such furniture, not to mention today's irreplaceable functionality with ergonomics. Hidden, direct lighting, closers, dampers to soften the door opening, pantograph lifts - all this facilitates operation, making life convenient. In wardrobe and luxury wardrobes there are such filling details as:
- baskets - convenient for storing shoes there;
- scissors - special crossbars for storing trousers on which they do not crumple;
- ties - containers for ties;
- shelves for shoes - separate for each pair;
- built-in dressing table.

The location of the cabinet must be appropriate for its intended purpose. Color, size, configuration and shapes must also be combined appropriately. So there are some tips that are best used to select this classic piece of furniture for a specific room in the house:
- classic facades of cabinets for the living room should be very beautiful, representative. This room is intended for gathering guests, celebrations, regular visits, family holidays. The wardrobe here is selected with transparent doors, many shelves, additional slides. The enclosed spaces are decorated with patterns, gilding, stained-glass windows. If you want to fill a place in the corner of a small living room, then put the corner closet there;
