Advantages and disadvantages of a corner cabinet

Such a cabinet gained great popularity for its positive qualities with minor negative points.

This furniture is now at the peak of popularity, so manufacturers offer a wide range of products, which means it will not be difficult to choose a cabinet to your taste

Important! When choosing an angular wardrobe, special attention should be paid to the reliability of the door design - it is most susceptible to wear and damage.

Types of corner cabinets

The structure is divided into built-in, case and modular.

An embedded product is created on the basis of existing walls. The facade and additional walls are attached to them, if necessary. Sliding door rails are installed on the floor and ceiling. This design makes it possible to integrate furniture into the interior, thereby achieving greater efficiency. However, it cannot be moved to another place. An important requirement for this design is perfectly flat surfaces of the walls, ceiling and floor. Otherwise, the finished product may come out skewed and not suitable for use.

The built-in wardrobe will always stand in one place. Moving such a construction is comparable to making a new piece of furniture

Hull design implies the presence of all the walls. It is often a collapsible structure that can be easily assembled at a selected location. Thanks to this, it can be moved unlike the built-in version. However, the transfer implies that it will have to be completely disassembled, and then assembled in a new place. The size is often chosen in such a way that the tip is under the very ceiling - then all the available space is used most optimally.

The cabinet has its own base, side walls and ceiling. If necessary, the structure is easy enough to move to another place

Modular differs from the case in that it consists of several independent parts. It is ideal for people who like to periodically change the arrangement of furniture in the apartment. So you can change the look of the cabinet simply by swapping the modules.

Modular systems are good in that they provide virtually unlimited configuration options. You can put as many sections as you want

Also, corner cabinets are divided according to the shape of their design. In addition, each option has its own characteristics, pluses and minuses.

Corner Cabinet Design

First of all, when choosing a design, it is necessary that it fits well with the interior of the room. For small rooms it is better to look at models with the color of the tone of the walls. So it will stand out less and visually continue the line of walls, increasing the visible size of the room. Glass surfaces will multiply the effect of a visual increase in space. For large rooms, you can choose a contrasting design, thus creating a cozy corner in a vast space.

A cabinet in bright colors helps to expand the space of the room.

Materials for the facade:

1. MDF, fiberboard. Veneered or coated with decorative film material wins due to affordable prices. Cabinets with such a facade are suitable for many traditional types of interior.
2. Mirror. Mirrored doors and front walls help visually expand the visible boundaries of the room. They can be decorated with matte painting, which looks very elegant.
3. Strained glass. Cabinets with glass translucent, matte or glossy walls look great in rooms made in the style of hi-tech, minimalism or modern. At the same time, a wide range of coloring and decoration of glass gives free rein to design decisions. The disadvantage of this solution is the relatively high cost.
4. Photo printing. Often done by sticking high-quality photographs printed on adhesive vinyl film on a base of MDF. Although it can be attributed to cabinets with MDF facade design, however, the unique look allows you to separate it into a separate category.
5. Decorative acrylic. Acrylic sheets are usually translucent, but can have a matte as well as a glossy surface. They can replace glass in the design of the facade. High strength, good appearance and a wide range of colors gives acrylic a big plus in combination with a relatively low cost.
6. Bamboo. This material looks great in the interior and has good strength and water resistance. The bamboo facade has its own beauty and nobility. It has excellent qualities for furniture, but on the other hand, it is quite expensive.
7. Rattan is another exotic material for cabinet design, which is made from creeper. Due to its resistance to humidity, it is used even for furniture in the bathroom. The appearance is very simple to change, because the rattan is easy to paint.
8. Combined option. In this design, a mirror or glass is usually combined with fiberboard or other material.

3. Five-wall models are suitable for small walls. At the same time, they are more protruding towards the room.
4. In depth departments usually do 60 or 45 centimeters. For the first case, a standard bar or pantograph for clothes is made.
