Corner wardrobe in the bedroom interior
It is difficult to imagine the interior of a bedroom without storage systems. Traditionally, cabinet is used as cabinet furniture for storing clothes, shoes and accessories. In the interior of even a small bedroom, a corner wardrobe will help solve the problem of storing the wardrobe of two people or even all family members. It is the angular configuration that allows the most efficient use of the usable space of the room. At the same time, the closet can be made in any design and contain a suitable filling for you, fully meeting the needs of your family in storing things, shoes, accessories and bedding. You can find a ready-made solution or order a model of a corner cabinet for your sizes for any stylistic design of a sleeping space.
Options for corner cabinets for the bedroom
The following criteria will influence the choice of cabinet model:
- the size of the room and its layout, as well as the amount of usable space that is allocated specifically for the installation of the cabinet;
- execution style of the entire interior;
- the color scheme of the room;
- material for the performance of the main furniture, among which, first of all, a bed;
- the fullness of the cabinet will depend on the number of wardrobe items that need to be stored in the corner system, as well as the nature of things - linen, shoes, bedding, sports attributes and accessories, and other elements.
If we talk about how to install corner cabinets, then all models can be divided into two groups:
- built-in;
- case or freestanding.
Each type of cabinet has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, the obvious advantage of the cabinet in its mobility. You can rearrange the piece of furniture in another corner of the room or even “relocate” to another room. You can also move the wardrobe to a new home in the event of a change of apartment or home ownership. With built-in models, such manipulations are either not possible at all, or will require additional costs for dismantling at the old place and assembling at the new one (alterations are inevitable, because the size of the free area for the installation will most likely not coincide).
But the built-in wardrobes have obvious advantages - they are made to order, which means they will use the available bedroom space as efficiently as possible. At the same time, the internal area of the built-in cabinet is always larger than a similar model of cabinet furniture. The design of the built-in corner cabinet can be any, it is limited only by the free space of the room, the needs of the family and its financial capabilities.
If we talk about the shape of corner cabinets, then all models can be divided into the following groups:
Triangular - If you look at the cabinet from above, then in the plan a triangle is clearly visible. The advantages of such cabinets include simplicity of execution, and therefore, the democratic value of the final cost of the piece of furniture. At the same time, the internal volume of the model is quite large and allows you to place a large number of wardrobe items. The main disadvantage is the fact that triangular cabinets “eat up” a large amount of room space and may not be suitable for modest rooms.
Trapezoid - the basis of such a cabinet model is a trapezoid (most often rectangular). Such pieces of furniture have high capacity and can be easily combined with other modules of storage systems and any other bedroom furniture.
Pentagonal - by analogy with other models, in terms of such cabinets a pentagon (most often versatile) is clearly visible. This version of the corner cabinet is deservedly one of the most popular due to its high capacity.
Radius or radial cabinets have smooth curved lines of the facades. The main advantage is the originality of the performance and the ability to harmoniously integrate into the complex stylistic designs of the bedroom interior. But the complexity of manufacturing radius facades always increases the cost of the final cost of the product - the main disadvantage of this type of cabinets.
L-shaped the cabinets speak for themselves - the letter “G” is visible at the base of the models. Often there are options with equal in length sides of the "corner", and not only by analogy with the letter, when one of the sides is significantly longer perpendicular. Such designs allow you to maximize the use of the corner space of the room, while leaving enough free space for approaching the facades of the cabinet.
Design and material for the execution of the facades of corner cabinets
The corner cupboard, which will be part of the bedroom interior, must match it in style. If we are talking about a room of very modest sizes, it is better to opt for a light facade that will match the color choice with the decoration of the walls. In this case, even a bulky (for a small room) corner cabinet will not create visual pressure, but will help to create a concise and at the same time light image of the room.
The spacious bedroom has much more possibilities for stylistic and color variations of the corner cabinet. You can choose contrasting, accent tones for the execution of the main bedroom furniture - beds and storage systems in the form of a corner cabinet. At the same time, both the walls of the room and the facades of the corner headset can be light.
The defining elements of the appearance of any cabinet, and the angular design is no exception, are its facades. They can be made of the following materials;
- MDF or fiberboard coated with a PVC film, plastic or veneered (the most common options that are acceptable in terms of cost and quality of products);
- mirror paintings (an indispensable option for small spaces that need a visual increase), they can be smooth or embossed, and also contain laser engraving, photo printing;
- blades made of tempered thick glass, which can appear both in a transparent and opaque form. A photo print pattern can also be applied to the glass. Under the canvases, a layer of special varnish is often applied, which creates original variations on the creation of cabinet facades;
- combination of materials within the facades of a corner cabinet. For example, MDF can be combined with glass or a mirror cloth.
The presence and design of accessories also affects the appearance of the cabinet. It is obvious that the functional and decorative elements of the facades of corner cabinets should be designed in the general style of execution of both the furniture model and the entire bedroom interior. In rooms decorated in a modern style, a loft or hi-tech can be found and absolutely smooth facades of cabinets with hidden fittings.
Doors for corner cabinet
In addition to the sizes, colors and material of the corner cabinet, before buying or ordering bedroom furniture, you need to determine the type of door for a large storage system. In terms of opening features, all doors can be divided into the following types:
Swing - the usual way for most of us to open doors inside the room. The advantages of such designs include ease of execution, reliability and familiarity with use. Swing doors are perfect for most stylistic options for the interior of the bedroom. The disadvantages of swing structures include the need for free space in front of the facades for unobstructed opening of doors.
Sliding the doors open according to the principle of compartment doors in train cars - the structure is shifted to the side along the guide.An obvious advantage of such products is the possibility of using them in modest sizes - there is no need for free space in front of it to open doors. Wardrobe with sliding doors is suitable for a small bedroom, it can be placed almost close to other interior items. The disadvantage of a corner cabinet with sliding doors is that such a model is not suitable for all stylistic directions in the design of the veins of spaces. In a modern bedroom, such a design will look more than appropriate, but it will not work for a classic interior.
When choosing corner storage systems with a sliding wardrobe mechanism, special attention should be paid to fittings and fasteners. The movement of the doors along the guides should occur smoothly and without jerking, and the fit of the sliding elements to the sides of the cabinet should be as tight as possible. Do not save on the elements of the mechanism, which will be subject to constant exposure.
Corner cabinet filling
A corner cabinet is a spacious storage system and, as a rule, it has various elements for placing a wardrobe:
Shelves - most often made of the same material as the main frame of the product, its facades, but can be made of metal, plastic and glass. Depending on the design and material of execution, they can be used both for direct storage of garments, and in boxes, boxes, suitcases and other items.
Drawers - Ideal for small items, accessories. Modern models are most often equipped with closers for smooth closing.
Rods - are used for hanging clothes on the shoulders. These elements are placed at different heights depending on what is supposed to be placed in this department - outerwear, dresses on the floor or shirts and trousers. Typically, in the department for dresses and outerwear, the height of the opening under the barbell ranges from 140 to 160 cm, in the section for trousers, skirts and blouses - from 90 to 120 cm (it all depends on the height of the owners of the wardrobe).
If the depth of the corner cabinet is more than 50 cm, then it is advisable to position the bar parallel to the back wall. If the depth is shallow (less than 50 cm), then it is advisable to install short rods perpendicular to the rear wall (parallel to the lateral planes).
Baskets, mesh blocks, containers on a fabric, plastic or metal basis - they place clothes that can be folded and linen. Often such containers are equipped with drawer-type sliding mechanisms, allowing them to fully extend for ease of use.
In addition to the above devices, modern cabinets use various options for hooks, tripods, and sliding and swinging shelves that help to efficiently and rationally place accessories - bags, jewelry, ties and belts.
Even a small corner wardrobe, located in a modest bedroom, can accommodate the entire wardrobe of the owners, effectively store clothes and shoes, as well as bedding. If the area of the room for sleeping and relaxing allows, you can equip a whole dressing room within the sleeping space, which will store not only wardrobe items, but also sports equipment, bags and suitcases, materials, hobby tools and other household items necessary for the owners .
Examples of design corner cabinets in the children's bedroom
The peculiarity of the models of corner cabinets intended for placement in the children's room is that in addition to clothes and shoes, in such storage systems, parents most often would like to place books, toys, and sports equipment. Therefore, often models for children's rooms are equipped with external units with open shelves on which everyday items are located - their child can easily get out without opening the cabinet door.
Another feature of the execution of the cabinet angular modification in the possibility of using a bright color palette.Usually in the manufacture of custom-made furniture, parents plan to purchase the entire complex of furniture, which will be a single, harmonious ensemble, made in a certain color scheme. Given that the corner cabinet is a rather massive part of the room’s furniture, the choice of color for its facade is a priority in drawing up the entire picture of the room.
