Filling corner cabinets

Corner cabinets play an important role in every home or apartment. They are distinguished by high functionality, thanks to which many important tasks are solved in the matter of storing things.

Corner cabinets are widely known for their particular use of seemingly useless space. At the same time, their compactness gives a stylish image to any room.

Forms

Corner cabinets can be classified according to the form of the following types:

  • Triangular. It is made according to the shape of the angle; when viewed from above, a triangle appears clearly. Their internal dimensions allow you to place a large number of things;
  • Trapezoidal. At the heart of such models is a rectangular trapezoid. The advantages of similar products are that they are easy to combine with other furniture items;
  • Pentagonal. This is one of the most common options.Their advantages are that they are voluminous, but they look nevertheless very stylish. In their section, you can easily see the pentagon;
  • Radial. Possess roundings, look original, organically look in any interior;
  • L-shaped. At the base there is the letter "G". Such items fill the space very effectively.

Internal organization

Each corner cabinet has three main parts:

  1. Mezzanine;
  2. Wardrobe;
  3. Bottom part.

Top shelves are designed for things that are used seasonally and are not needed every day. These include travel bags, shoes, hats.

In the main compartment there are hangers on which you can store summer and demi-season jackets, as well as top winter clothes.

Below, as a rule, is shoes for everyday wear.

Rods

If the depth of the cabinet is about 55 cm, then these parameters make it possible to compactly place many objects. You can make the depth more, but the corner cabinet is not always possible to "push" to such dimensions.

It is best to install in the center a few bars, which will be located hangers. The space for a compact arrangement of the hangers requires about 50 cm, so when planning the corner cabinet this factor should be taken into account.Better than a longitudinal bar, so far nothing has been invented, both shirts and outerwear fit tightly on it.

Bar for clothes can be of different lengths. It is convenient to store on it:

  • Jackets;
  • Skirts;
  • Raincoats;
  • Long Dresses;
  • Denim suits;
  • Tuxedos

Sometimes the width allows you to build two rods.

For high corner cabinets apply the so-called pantograph. This is the same crossbar, which can be raised or lowered using a special mechanism. There are stationary and sliding shelves, their height is usually a little over 35 centimeters.

Crates and shelves

Retractable drawers are a useful and necessary item that is ideal for storage:

  • Bella;
  • Towel;
  • Socks.

Retractable baskets are plastic and mesh. Such devices are functional and compact, you can store small things that do not need to be ironed.

Shoe shelves at the bottom of the corner cabinet can be either oblique or retractable, and there are also often shoes for shoes that keep their shape securely. These shelves are mounted in the lower compartments. They can be angled and also mobile.

Retractable hangers for jeans and trouser suits are practical fixtures. It is rational to use a special compartment in which accessories are kept in a suspended state: ties, belts, scarves, and the like.

Sometimes special shelves for the storage of household appliances are installed below: iron, vacuum cleaner, dryer, etc.

Convenient arrangement of things

In order to correctly position the sections, first of all you need to imagine what area will be used. To do this, you must first draw the layout of the shelves.

The length is usually about 60 centimeters. It may be a little less if the shelves are arranged with the letters P and G. With the sliding shelves, the furniture becomes more convenient to use.

The wardrobe can be made small if there are few things stored in it. A person can be provided, while he will have enough one small item for storing clothes in which a small amount of clothes and shoes will be placed.

Inveterate fashionistas cabinets are often full of things that were worn once or twice. A similar category of lovely ladies needs cabinets that literally support the ceiling so that they occupy all corners of the room. Then there is a chance that every thing will lie in its place.Proper arrangement and filling of shelves and compartments in such a cabinet allows you to rationally arrange all the things that will always be within reach.

The topmost shelves are very functional. There you can put items that rarely have to use:

  • suitcases;
  • grandmothers blankets;
  • extra pillows;
  • the boxes

and much more.

There will always be objects that are needed “sometime afterwards”, which may still serve and it is a pity to throw them away.

Materials

Very much depends on the mechanisms attached to the door. They have heavy loads, so they often break. It is desirable to select the rollers in such a way that they do not make excessive noise in the process of movement. The guides themselves are made of aluminum or steel. Aluminum structures are less durable, but they are much cheaper.

The walls of the cabinet are made of chipboard or natural wood, quite often used and MDF.

Doors can be made from a combination of materials - wood, plastic, glass.

Glass, on the one hand, expands the space, but the material is fragile, therefore, when using such a product, it is recommended to observe precautions and be more careful.

Benefits

Corner cabinets offer many advantages over standard linear models. Among them:

  • Spaciousness. The product can hold a huge amount of things, household appliances and looks very compact;
  • The ability to fill the unused angular space in the room, which until then seemed useless. This saves usable space and creates the original design of the room;
  • Easily and organically installed in any interior, but at the same time they look natural and unnoticeable.
  • The ability to give additional light to the room in the case of mirrored facades of doors.

Ideal cabinets are suitable for small spaces, the shape and size may be the most unusual. Corner cabinets are also good because the furniture can be placed close to them, as the doors are moved apart along the guides, it is not necessary to reserve additional space for them. Often, such products are installed between adjacent walls, with their help it is convenient to hide inside the communications, protrusions or niches.
