 Corner canisters in the interior of bathrooms: the advantages of models and tips for choosing

Pencil case is great for small bathrooms. It is a shallow narrow cabinet that ideally becomes a corner of the bathroom. Despite the fact that the case is high, it can be considered a compact piece of furniture. For large rooms, you can choose models with wide facades or roomy L-shaped structures.

Features and benefits

Not every piece of furniture can occupy an empty corner of the bathroom. For such places produce special designs, such as a corner case. He is the guarantor of order in the bathroom, because he collects a lot of haphazard things, while he does not take up much space. But it is a mistake to think that a pencil case can be shoved into any corner. This is not true.

Creating the interior of a small bathroom, do not make spontaneous decisions. One covered corner will smear the space, distort the proportions. To balance the interior, in the opposite corner should be a shower or another towering structure. You can use two corner canisters on both sides of the shell.

Despite the sophisticated forms of corner furniture, the capacity of such a locker meets all expectations. It may have open and closed shelves, drawers, a basket under dirty laundry. Some models are equipped with compartments for hanging bath robes. The corner case is ergonomic and easy to use. A properly thought-out model will become invisible in the corner assigned to it. It should be small so as not to disturb the harmony of the room, but not small in order to fully function.

No matter how carefully the case entered his corner, he will not be able to completely disappear. The two-meter design in any case will affect the interior. Therefore, the appearance of the case should coincide with the overall style of the room. If the room is made in the style of loft, hi-tech, minimalism, the case must be made of metal.For the Gothic choose forged steel. A warm aged wood will suit the style of Provence or Chebbi Chic, modern prefers the most expensive and modern models.

Kinds

Corner canisters mounted at the junction of the walls. They fill an angle that is unlikely to be used more rationally. At the same time the design turns out volume and capacious. There are quite a few trademarks designed for bathrooms. They vary in color, shape, texture. They are difficult to classify, but can be divided according to the form, method of installation, material.

By installation method

There are two ways to install the case: it is placed on the floor or hung on the wall.

Floor

A wide variant of the pencil case is called a closet box, and a narrow one is called a column. The difference in size allows you to use this type of furniture in small and large rooms. For air circulation canisters set on the legs. They are roomy and can handle a lot of weight. The design usually has shelves of different sizes with good volume. Cases produced with doors, open or mixed type (partially closed). To open species is a case-rack.

Floor models of the type of opening the door are right and left. Dimensions are often provided with ready-made standards. The height varies from 1500 to 2000 mm, the width is 300-450 mm, the depth is usually no more than 320 mm. For example, the Merkana case of a famous Russian brand has the parameters of 1860x280x420 mm. The “Alpha Aqua Rhodes” model of the Ukrainian company is represented by the dimensions: 30 x 40 x 165 cm.

Bathroom cases are not made too high, otherwise you would have to use a ladder.

Suspension

In the corner of the bathroom you can not only put, but also hang a pencil case. In height, it will be shorter than the floor, otherwise it will not yield to him in anything else. Such a structure is installed where there is a free corner, but the floor part is already occupied by furniture or plumbing. It would be practical to install a hanging model over a washing machine, pedestal or bath.

A case with a mirror door is often placed near the washbasin. Small items can be installed above the corner spa bath. Hygiene products and other necessary things are at hand, which makes it possible to take a bath with comfort.

In form

The shape of the canisters determines the variety of their appearance. They can be of different configurations, regardless of whether they are on the floor or suspended from a wall. The appearance or absence of doors, as well as their partial equipment, can affect the appearance of models.

The shape of the angular canisters are triangular, radial, trapezoidal, L-shaped.

  • Triangular form is considered a classic option. A standard angle-filling design can be closed with a rectangular door. The shape of the shelves follows the geometry of the corner. It is not easy to place things on triangular shelves, so the canisters do not make it too deep. Easy to get used to non-standard storage places, the rational use of the angle compensates for minor inconveniences.
  • Trapezius the form is more capacious. Keeping things on the shelves is easier than in triangular models. The contour of the trapezoid increases the volume of the product. Visually, this design is more attractive.
  • Radius the shape increases the volume of the corner box due to the curvilinear facade. Such models may contain diverse shelves, including drawers. They fit beautifully in the bathroom, have soft pleasant outlines.
  • L-shaped the shape looks like two pencil cases forming an angle.This design is roomy and suitable for large rooms. Unfortunately, it is rarely used in the interior of bathrooms.

According to the material

Bathrooms are rooms with high humidity. Furniture manufacturers take this factor into account and use moisture-resistant varnishes and impregnations in the manufacture of wood products, MDF and chipboard.

Metal canisters are protected with special coatings (chrome, bronze, brass) that protect them from corrosion.

Metal

The metal in the corner canisters is in most cases represented by products made of chrome steel. The mirror appearance of the material is supported by other similar bathroom accessories. It goes well with tile. Convenient to use version of a compact design installed in the corner above the bath. It looks like a chrome telescopic tube, on which glass shelves are strung in a metal contour.

So that the metal floor case does not resemble a safe, it is better to give preference to elegant designs of the racking type. Forged products in combination with glass look extravagantly. Metal applications in the interior require industrial,urban (urban) styles, as well as classic and gothic.

When buying metal products should pay attention to the quality of the material. Violation of the protective layer can lead to corrosion.

Tree

Wood products are expensive materials. Against the background of ice tile, they look warm and cozy. For rooms with high humidity fit solid varieties of trees. Some of them are in exclusive versions used in the creation of plumbing.

For canisters, it is enough to use teak or larch with moisture-resistant impregnations and varnishes. It is better to install wood structures in the far corner from the bath and shower. The material should not be tested by constant evaporation of moisture. Wood is well suited to historical, rural or colonial areas where natural products are valued.

MDF and chipboard

You can purchase a case of MDF or chipboard. These are budget and popular materials. They are treated with special varnishes and paints, which give the resistance of products to moisture. MDF and chipboard well imitate wood, its natural color range, which makes it possible to choose the necessary model in a specific interior. Contrast options are particularly effective, for example, a combination of bleached oak and chocolate-colored wenge.

The MDF construction looks heavier than elegant forged metal or glass. To make it easy to perceive will help the presence of a mirror, or the lack of doors.

Glass

Tempered glass fits the bathroom well. Such furniture keeps the volume of the room, makes it lightweight and airy. Lightweight transparent shelves disappear in elegant forged structures or in chrome-plated case frames. It is easy to care for glass products, they wash well and do not pick mold.

However, we must not forget that even tempered glass with careless handling can be dangerous. Therefore, it is not necessary to purchase similar canisters for confined spaces. If styling requires glass, you need to be prepared for keeping perfect order on the transparent shelves.

It is better to place glass cases in corners where water splashes do not fall (moisture leaves traces on a transparent surface).

Plastic

Plastic is absolutely not afraid of water, does not rot and does not rust. It is easy to care for him, it is inexpensive. Of the benefits, you can add a rich selection of colors, textures and shapes.But cheap material will not create expensive interiors.
