Corner wardrobes

Wardrobes are in special consumer demand. From the material of this article, you will learn about the features, varieties, design of corner-type models.

The corner wardrobe is a practical and functional piece of furniture. It relieves and organizes the space, makes it visually free and comfortable. In comparison with an ordinary wardrobe, such furniture holds 1/3 more things. Its corner section is not only part of the structure, but also a single element. The filling and storage systems of the models are different.

Furniture can be built-in and cabinet. The walls, floor and ceiling of products of the first type are the structures of the room. Sliding doors are attached to them. These products are ergonomic, but stationary.

Cabinet-type counterparts belong to full-fledged furniture. They differ from classic wardrobes by the sliding door system. They are also superior to the usual options.

Corner wardrobes save space in the room. They are universal, since they can be installed in different rooms of the home (in the hallway, corridor, study, bedroom, nursery, living room).

Depending on the features of the layout, they can be installed in a corner, between two doors. They look great with an open storage system. They are comfortable to use, mask curved corners, ugly joints of walls and ceilings.

Models are variable in design, shapes, sizes. However, on sale there are fewer analogs of the traditional type. More often they are made to order, according to measurements of a specific angle in the room.

However, there is little room to install a full fitting mirror. It has to be placed on the front door, which is not always convenient. It is also bad that such furniture is characterized by low sound insulation.

It is possible to classify corner wardrobes by shape, material of manufacture, filling, design. Depending on the configuration, the structures are triangular, L-shaped, trapezoidal, U-shaped, five-walled. Each type of product has its own characteristics.

Triangular models are diagonal structures. They have two sides connected at right angles. The front part connects the walls diagonally. The length of the sidewalls is the same; the facade is often decorated with a mirror.

Such furniture takes up a minimum of space, but due to the corners, its shelves are not very functional. There are not always shelves in its central part, since manufacturers place the filling on the sides.

These storage systems can have plasterboard partitions and sliding doors. They perfectly combine other elements of furniture. For example, their facades can be book shelves.

Such structures are located along 2 walls of the room. Outwardly, these are 2 narrow rectangles connected at right angles to each other. One side is more elongated than the other.

L-shaped wardrobes are very spacious. They are versatile and are considered the best of all varieties. However, when choosing or ordering them, you need to take into account the type of door opening. They are usually hinged or sliding.

Models can have not only strictly linear facades. Some variants have curved fronts. Others are great for outside corners. They are often connected by open sections.

These designs resemble analogs of the triangular type. However, they only have one side with triangular shelves. The other has standard shelves. In comparison with analogs of a triangular shape, this furniture is larger.

Products of this line are more massive. In addition to 2 rear walls, they have a front diagonal front and 2 beveled edges (on the sides). In comparison with analogs of a trapezoidal shape, their segments have a large width.

Inside they are full-fledged shelves for storing things. They have the same width along their entire length. The dimensions of such furniture can be large.

U-shaped cabinets are purchased for installation along three walls. They have 2 corners. Such furniture is often placed along a niche: cabinets built into a niche can have closed and open storage systems. Sometimes they are complemented by straight facades, which makes them small dressing rooms. Their shelves can be small or large, high or low, narrow or wide.

In the production of wardrobes, wood, products of its processing (chipboard, MDF), metal, glass, plastic, and mirrors are used. Wood is rarely used, such furniture is expensive and heavy. Its aesthetic qualities in these designs cannot be presented too beautifully.

Laminated chipboard is a democratic material with a rich palette of shades and textures. For example, it can be a bleached oak surface, rattan imitation. The surface of the material can be matte, glossy, monochromatic, printed (with a graphic, floral pattern). Photo printing is often applied to chipboard. The technology allows you to transfer the image as high quality and realistic as possible.

Corner wardrobes (compartment models) of the radial type are made of MDF. They have rounded corners, rounded shapes. MDF is variable in colors. During the production of furniture, its surface is laminated.

Metal in furniture production is used for the manufacture of accessories. In addition, it is used to create metal posts. Such structural elements are typical for combined type models. Metal racks hold sections with numerous shelves.

Glass and mirror are materials for facade finishing. The texture of these materials can be very diverse. This finish with a pattern looks beautiful in design (for example, sandblasting). Glass can be frosted, tinted, colored. Like mirrors, it is a hardened and thick material.

The traditional filling of corner wardrobes are shelves, drawers, compartments for hangers. Often, designs are complemented with small baskets. A specific set of storage systems is set by the model project, taking into account the interior design. The main design goal is to fill all areas of the cabinet, including inconvenient areas (for example, triangular shelves).

Small items are stored on awkward shelves. There are options for sale with non-standard storage systems. These can be compartments for skis, umbrellas, hooks (jumpers) for ties, belts. Items for storage are selected taking into account the shape of the shelves or boxes.

One of the difficult zones is the right angle formed by the adjacent walls of the structure. Often this space is left for storing clothes on a hanger. In L-shaped models, the connecting element is often a metal rack with crossbars. The shelves in this area usually store things that are rarely used.

The way the cabinet is filled depends on the preferences of the homeowners. Usually, difficult areas are filled in first, and the remaining shelves are planned more easily.

Items that are used often should be placed as conveniently as possible. In boxes, linen is usually stored, they are used for storing ties, socks. Clean clothes are placed on the shelves.

Much depends on the location of the cabinet. For example, if the wardrobe is installed in the hallway, the boxes can be used to store gloves, as well as other small things necessary in everyday life (for example, scarves, hats, masks).

The location of the stuffing of wardrobes can be different. Shelves for bed linen can be located at the top. Small items boxes - approximately at waist level. This is convenient, for example, for models in the hallway. As a rule, shoe shelves are located at the bottom of such structures.

The design solutions of the models are diverse. On sale there are options with closed closed facades. In this case, the facade can be strict or pompous, made of the same or different materials.

Combined type models look beautiful. Their front sides consist of chipboard and glass (mirror) inserts. Models with furniture in a contrasting color are also harmonious in interior design. For example, it can be a dark frame with a light facade.

The front side of the corner wardrobe can be classic linear, convex, concave, wavy. Mirror inserts can be located in the center of the structure. Depending on the design, their number can vary from 1 to 3-5 sashes.

Mirrors can occupy the entire area of ​​the sash or form a certain pattern on the front part. Often, such furniture is complemented by spot lighting. Luminaires not only illuminate the dressing area, but also add a touch of comfort to the space.

Some models may be part of a furniture set. Some of them can be complemented by desks with shelves. Such options are bought for arranging children's and teenage rooms.

Other cabinets are low in height and minimum width. Such dressing rooms are bought for small rooms. They can have only two flaps. They are installed in the corners of the rooms, they are placed near the partitions that separate the rooms of the dwelling.
