White corner cabinets

 White corner cabinets

In small apartments the functionality of furniture is in the first place. White corner cabinets are exactly this kind of furniture that allows you to make the most efficient use of the space.

Features and benefits

Many designers use white furniture in their projects. Corner cabinets in such interiors - not uncommon. This is due to their undeniable advantages compared with models of other shapes and colors:

  • Compact and spacious. Corner wardrobe helps save significant living space. Such models capture the space at the junction of the walls, which is usually not used at all.However, even compact models contain a large amount of clothing and other things.
  • Psychological effect. According to psychologists, the white color creates an atmosphere of calm and serenity. It is also associated with purity and freshness, it charges with positive emotions.
  • Visual expansion of space. A white corner cabinet can visually make the room more spacious. This is facilitated by the color, reflecting the flow of light, and the shape of the furniture, which brightens two walls at once.
  • Style. White furniture in any performance looks gorgeous. Modern manufacturers offer options for every taste. This applies to size, and style, and design, and ways of finishing. You can choose a luxurious baroque model, a sleek minimalist wardrobe or an original modern style option. It all depends on your interior, type of room and personal preferences.
  • Ease of combination with other shades. Snow-white furniture can be easily combined with other colors. This wardrobe will perfectly fit into a room with neutral shades (gray, brown, beige), and in a bright environment (with blue, purple, pink and other tones).

White furniture is not combined only with the walls of the same color. It is worth being careful when choosing a whole snow-white headset. To avoid the feeling of a hospital ward, it is necessary to provide a contrasting background with walls, floor and accessories.

Coverage options

Recently, very popular glossy facades. Furniture, iridescent in the rays of light, looks expensive and even solemn. In addition to the external gloss, gloss and has a practical function. Like mirror surfaces, such furniture reflects light, creating the illusion of extra space.

White color enhances the effect, which makes these cabinets an ideal choice for small spaces.

However, the charming play of gloss has a disadvantage. Such facades need regular maintenance and very careful treatment. Fingerprints are often left on glossy surfaces and must be removed with a soft cloth. In case of careless use, scuffs and scratches may appear on the furniture.

Today, there are special tools for polishing furniture. But when buying it is important to pay attention to whether a particular product is suitable for the care of white furniture.Also, in any case, do not use aggressive tools with abrasive particles to clean the cabinet.

Furniture with matte finish less whimsical. At the same time in the corresponding design such cabinets look no worse than glossy models. The choice of one of two options depends only on personal taste.

Models

By the type of doors, cabinets have differences:

  • Cabinets with compartment doors quite popular. Thanks to the roller mechanism, the doors move smoothly to the side, without requiring space to open them.
  • Swing models may have an interesting design, decorated with beautiful handles, but they are not so comfortable. The doors of such cabinets swing open. Because of this, you must count on additional free space so that other objects do not interfere with the opening of the door.

The shape and type of the design of the cabinets differ:

  • L-shaped models most in demand. Parts of such a product are arranged along adjacent walls, forming a 90 degree angle. Usually one half of the cabinet is longer than the other. The edges of the product can be both straight and rounded. Often they are in the form of open shelves designed for souvenirs and useful trifles.For small apartments this option is considered the most successful.
  • Diagonal models when closed, they resemble a triangle. Inside, they are very deep and roomy. Usually a mirror is installed on the facade of such a cabinet to increase the space visually.
  • Trapezoidal options similar to the previous type of designs. The only difference is that in the closed cabinet has a trapezoid shape.
  • Five Wall - the most massive models. From the name it is clear that such a cabinet consists of five straight parts. Such options are appropriate only in spacious rooms. The capacity of the model allows it to be used as a mini dressing room. The modeling of the internal space is nothing but size.
  • Radius cabinets differ in smooth forms. Bending can be concave, convex, or even wave shaped. The absence of sharp corners makes such furniture safe, which is especially important for families with small children. And the unusual shape makes these products original, even with minimal decor.

Depending on what kind of things the cabinet is intended to store, it can have a different external shape and internal filling.

  • For clothes usually purchased wardrobe. Inside can be located crossbar for hangers and various shelves. The contents of such furniture is usually hidden from prying eyes. Models with a mirror perform not only the function of a visual increase in space, but also allow you to evaluate the chosen wardrobe, without departing from the closet.
  • Book corner models are usually made of wood. They have a sleek design and a lot of shelves, covered with glass. Some options include in the design of the boxes for documents, as well as open side shelves for souvenirs.
  • For storage of collectible ware and porcelain is intended to showcase cabinet. It can be completely glass or have closed drawers at the bottom. As a rule, such models are very elegant.

Materials

For the manufacture of corner cabinets in white, I use a variety of materials:

  • Wood. A wardrobe made of solid wood is the most expensive option. It is the most practical, reliable and solid. And its absolute environmental friendliness is an undoubted advantage for many people. However, it should be borne in mind that the array increases not only the cost, but also the weight of the furniture.In addition, without proper processing, wood is subject to deformation due to temperature fluctuations or high levels of humidity.
  • MDF. Products made from this material are more affordable. At the same time, the quality of the furniture is at a decent level. Such cabinets are durable, durable and completely safe for people and animals. Models of MDF can have the texture of wood (for example, in the color "bleached oak"), and can be covered with a special film with a matte or glossy surface.
  • Chipboard. This material is the most budget. Often manufacturers combine it with MDF.
  • Glass, mirror, metal, plastic. These materials are used to decorate products, as well as create accessories.

How to choose?

In order to choose a product, you need to pay attention to many factors.

Purpose

Before you buy, decide what kind of cabinet you need to store and where it will be located. The size of the future purchase, its design and internal content depend on it. Think about what shelves and drawers you need, and in what quantity, whether a hanger bar and other filling elements will be needed.

Corner cabinet can be cabinet or built-in.The second option allows you to save even more space. Usually such models are made to order and used to decorate a small dressing room.

Style

When choosing furniture, be sure to consider the style of the room. The cabinet should harmoniously merge into a single concept.

If the furniture is selected for a room decorated in a "palace" style, it should be as luxurious as the whole interior. Here, figured legs, carved volumetric ornaments, exquisite patterns, gilding and other baroque details are permissible.

If you prefer restrained classics, the furniture will be different elegance and severity of forms. Both the first and second option involve hinged doors with elegant handles.

Modern models are diverse. The aesthetics of minimalism is expressed in glossy facades and the almost complete absence of decor. The originality of the model can be given by combining white with other colors (more often with black), lighting, unusual shapes (radius versions).

Art nouveau style is reflected in the ornaments on the facades and mirrors, the unusual arrangement of open shelves and other interesting elements. Popular and photo printing.These can be photos of nature, flowers, animals, graphic drawings.

Coverage options

If the room is decorated in bright colors, it is better to choose a plain white wardrobe. If the decoration of the walls and the floor is sufficiently light, then you can select furniture by choosing black and white colors, photo printing, drawings or gilding.

The texture can be matte, glossy or "under the tree." The last option in the snow-white color is particularly relevant for the style of Provence. If you want something more natural, you can choose a shade of "bleached oak." Depending on the manufacturer, this color can be either light beige or milky cream.

Quality

When buying a product in a store, carefully consider it. Check the smoothness and clarity of the mechanisms, the quality of fittings and coatings. When ordering online, first read the reviews of the owners of the furniture of the selected manufacturer. Try to choose only proven firms that have proven themselves in the market.

Beautiful examples in the interior

A white corner cabinet with glossy fronts blends in harmoniously with a small classic living room.Gilding with subtle patterns gives the model a concise design a sophisticated look. It harmonizes with the frames of the paintings, and with the decoration of the door, and with the metal of the chandelier.

Modern art nouveau design decorates the original black and white model. Despite the light walls, the wardrobe does not seem faded. On the contrary, black elements, staggered, bring a zest to the interior. A chest of drawers and a bedside table, made in the same minimalist design, complement the composition. Curtains and bedspread in purple shades dilute the decor with bright colors.

If the wallpaper turned out to be too dark, and in the room you want to create an atmosphere of tenderness and romance, a glossy wardrobe with “lace” patterns will come to the rescue. Handles with rhinestones enhance the effect of light glamor. White fluffy carpet and light door - the final touches, lightening the situation.

In the bedroom of a young football player a corner cupboard with a picture of a ball in the stadium will be very helpful. Posters with football stars, a green carpet imitating grass, and an original ball-shaped chair create a single unique style and appropriate mood.

In a small hallway, an elegant corner locker looks neat and stylish.Shelves for trifles and souvenirs, open hangers for outerwear, closed offices and mezzanines - everything is thought out to the smallest detail.
