Corner wardrobe: types, sizes, layout, photos

Despite their apparent compactness, corner cabinets are very spacious. Their ergonomic design is also valued because it allows you to beautifully and functionally create a whole modular complex of cabinets, pencil cases, mirrors, cabinets and arrange them into a single composition. Drawings of corner cabinets with dimensions will help you create your own project for the bedroom, hallway, nursery or living room.

This article discusses various options for internal filling for a corner cabinet with a height of 2200 mm and dimensions from a corner of 900x900 mm. With a side depth of 450 mm, a doorway 613.8 mm wide is formed, which is usually closed with two leaves.

You can easily adapt the proposed options “to suit yourself” by stretching or narrowing the drawing to the desired size. We will also consider how to do this correctly from the point of view of the rules for designing cabinet furniture.

Dimensions

The size of the furniture is influenced by the dimensions of the room, free space in the corner, along the wall.
The purpose of the cabinet is important, what will be stored in it. The minimum size of a functional corner segment must be at least 900 mm on both sides of the corner

If the room area is limited, then the usable area of the cabinet can be increased by using semicircular systems. This will add a radius area to the corner space.

Average sizes of small segments: width (from the corner along the wall) 950 mm, 1250 mm. In this case, it is rational to use radius doors with a convex surface. If the corner module is transitional, that is, rectangular sections will be mounted to it, then the optimal width of the extension (side wall) is 450 mm, 600 mm. In this case, you can create space for things that are hung on hangers.

Shapes of corner built-in wardrobes

According to the configuration, there are triangular, L-shaped, five-walled, diagonal and other types of furniture. Each cabinet has its own characteristics.

L-shaped

Such furniture is placed in a corner and occupies the space of the ceilings that form it. It is larger in size compared to other models. This feature allows you to fit a lot of things.

The L-shaped wardrobe is one of the most spacious.

Diagonal

If you look at the cross-section of the base of such a model, the cabinet looks like a triangle with a right angle. Small sizes allow it to be placed in a small room. Takes up little space, but has great capacity. Looks great in a small gap between two window or door openings.

The diagonal cabinet has the shape of a triangle and takes up little space.

Trapezoidal

They have asymmetrical components, equipped with additional external sectors that fit tightly to the wall. Requires more space than previous ones.

A trapezoidal cabinet takes up more space.

Five-walled

Sloped doors allow for additional storage space. It is distinguished by its massive dimensions, so the model is not suitable for small spaces.

The five-wall cabinet has large dimensions.

Radial

Modern design, which provides absolute freedom of imagination in choosing a model. The simultaneous combination of concave and convex sections with a smooth transition makes the room more comfortable and attractive.

The radius cabinet has a semicircular shape and can be either concave or convex.

Before choosing the type of furniture, determine the required functionality.

Design ideas and shapes

Let's get acquainted with the main types of cabinets, because each of them transforms the interior in its own way.

With a mirror

A mirror built into the front door is very useful, because you don’t need to look for additional space on the wall for it. This is convenient, since in the hallway you often need to look at yourself in full height. In addition, reflective surfaces visually increase the space.

The photo shows a corner model with mirrors, adding lightness and sophistication to the hallway interior.

With beveled corner

If the layout in the hallway is non-standard, then you can install a cabinet with an angle of 45 degrees. The diagonal bevel harmoniously fills an area that would otherwise look unfinished.

With open part

Often there are models with open hangers. They can have additional shelves, doors and dividers for each person or group.

Radius cabinet

Such products have a curved front part, thanks to which they look impressive and transform the atmosphere. Also called radial or curved. There are also wavy models that fit into the interior with smooth lines.

The photo shows a convex two-door cabinet made of natural wood, occupying a free corner of the picturesque corridor.

With drawings and patterns

Mirror surfaces of facades are often decorated with sandblasting - a decorative pattern that is applied using a powerful jet of air mixed with quartz sand. Sandblasting, photo printing and stained glass require special equipment, but this design allows you to create truly exclusive furniture.

The photo shows a corner product with a pattern on frosted glass, applied using sandblasting technology.

With functional additions

For home occupants and guests, the convenience of a closet lies not only in its location, but also in the presence of useful components. Open hangers for outerwear save time for visitors who are visiting for a short time. The mezzanine, which does not need to be opened often, on the contrary, is useful for seasonal things: the space in the hallway under the ceiling, although difficult to access, is used wisely.

The photo shows a corner model in a modern interior, equipped with open hangers and shelves for accessories.

In addition to shelves for storing hats and scarves, corner furniture often has a section for shoes. This can be a full-fledged pull-out shoe rack or a convenient drawer under the seat.

The photo shows a two-color wardrobe, one side of which is reserved for clothes, and the other for shoes and accessories.

Doors for corner cabinet

The doors of the corner cabinet are essentially its facade. In panel structures, the walls, floor and ceiling are made of relatively inexpensive materials, and no savings are made on the “external” side. In combined versions, the following compositional types are used:

Classical. In this case, MDF, chipboard, wood and mirrors are combined;
Diagonal. The doors are decorated with dividers that are located at certain angles to each other;
Sector. In this version, the doors are divided into many squares, each of which is filled with a separate material in various combinations;
Geometric. On the doors there are rectangles, triangles, trapezoids and other shapes;
Wave. The dividers are smooth, curved lines.

In expensive styles, doors are decorated with natural or artificial leather. They can also be decorated with a panorama: paper applied to the glass from the inside or a floral design etched on a matte surface.

How to make a cabinet drawing

The most important thing when creating a drawing for any cabinet is a clear vision of what the end result should be. The fact is that it doesn’t take much time to create a sketch. The main costs of this resource will be required to take measurements of the place where the cabinet is planned to be installed. It will also take a lot of time to list all the elements needed to assemble the cabinet. Without this list, you shouldn't even start assembling. There is a very high probability that the process will go in the wrong direction.

When creating your own drawing for a cabinet, it is important to consider not only the dimensions of the external structural elements and internal parts, but also the thickness of the material from which the cabinet is planned to be made. This will help make calculations more accurately, which will further contribute to the creation of a high-quality interior element.

After taking measurements and transferring them onto paper, you need to decide on the components of the cabinet. Will these be shelves, drawers or all together. Will the cabinet have a stand or a vertical bar? It is necessary to indicate in the diagram all the details, even the most insignificant ones

Moreover, it is not enough to indicate the names; it is important to enter the exact number of elements

Selection of furniture fittings

It is best to buy quality products. This will not be cheap, but it will allow you to assemble a high-quality cabinet that will last quite a long time. Choosing accessories should not be difficult. The store manager will recommend one manufacturer or another, and the number of necessary accessories is already indicated in the drawing. The main thing is to follow the pre-planned assembly plan that you have on paper.

Choosing the right dimensions

The most important requirement is that there should be as many compartments inside the wardrobe as there are doors - that is, for 2 internal sections there should be 2 sliding doors. An exception can be made only if the doors are wide - then several compartments are allowed, but still the length of each sliding structure should not exceed 100 cm.

The compartment where the bar for outerwear will be placed should be larger than the one where the shelves will be located - for example, 90 and 60 cm, respectively. If only short clothes are hung on hangers, then a meter opening height or even 80 cm will be enough, but for long wardrobe items you will need a height of 150-160 cm. You can calculate the required dimensions yourself by measuring your longest clothing and adding 20 to it cm. And to conveniently place a large amount of clothes on hangers, the width of this section should be 60-70 cm.

The width of the cabinet depends on the size of the hallway

Barbells

If the depth of the cabinet is about 55 cm, then such parameters make it possible to compactly place many items. You can make the depth greater, but it is not always possible to “extend” a corner cabinet to such dimensions.

It is best to install several rods in the center on which the hangers will be located. Space for a compact arrangement of hangers requires about 50 cm, so this factor should be taken into account when planning a corner cabinet. Nothing better than a longitudinal bar has yet been invented; both shirts and outerwear fit compactly on it.

The crossbar for clothes can be of different lengths. It is convenient to store:

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

For high corner cabinets, the so-called pantograph is used. This is the same crossbar that can be raised or lowered using a special mechanism. There are stationary and retractable shelves; their height is usually just over 35 centimeters.

Where can I embed

In fact, built-in furniture can be mounted to any wall or corner. Nowadays, many houses are built using a monolithic frame method, which is why non-standard corners and all sorts of niches appear in the rooms. Standard models are difficult to install in such places. For built-in furniture, these problems can be overcome. It is modeled according to individual sizes and adjusted to fit the walls. A closet, for example, in a semicircle, smooths out such problem areas. A selection of photo modules for monoliths clearly demonstrates all the advantages of corner furniture. In addition, this kind of furniture is functional; it is calculated based on the needs and dimensions of the stored items.

For small rooms with limited space, installing a semicircular segment is sometimes the only possible and rational option. For example, it could be a small hallway where there is no wall to install a standard-sized wardrobe.

Nuances of the internal structure

You need to think about filling the corner wardrobe at the stage of placing your order. Regardless of the type of product chosen, you need to make the most of its space. It is not practical to place shelves in triangular and trapezoidal models - they will be very small. Installing boxes there is basically impossible. The optimal solution is a rail for storing bulky items.

Filling L- and U-shaped corner cabinets allows you to bring different ideas to life. Here you can use:

shelves of various shapes and sizes;
drawers;
a pantograph that raises and lowers the top bar;
holders for trousers, ties, belts;
standard, end rods;
mesh baskets.

In products with small sizes, an attached cabinet, chest of drawers, or shelving can also be used. Proper planning is the key to high functionality of furniture. Designers and factory consultants can help in this matter.

Types of corner cabinet designs

According to the installation method, the following types of corner cabinets are distinguished: built-in and cabinet.

In built-in furniture, some of the structural elements are replaced by walls, floors and ceilings. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out preliminary steps to level the surfaces at the installation site. If this is not done, the doors will soon become skewed, which will make it difficult to use the cabinet.

The advantages of such furniture include:

lower cost;
maximum adjustment to room parameters;
space saving;
sustainability.

Weaknesses of the built-in wardrobe: there is no possibility of free movement, fastenings violate the integrity of the walls at the installation site, high complexity of installation work.

Cabinet cabinets are already completely finished products. They consist of all the necessary elements: side walls, back panel, bottom and lid. They can be installed anywhere and, if necessary, moved to another room. However, they require more space, and the capacity is lower than that of the previous type.

Depending on the location, there are floor-mounted and wall-mounted options.

The wall-hung type is suitable for installation in the kitchen or bathroom, allowing rational use of corner space. In shape they are L-shaped, trapezoidal, with beveled corners and perfectly complement the rest of the kitchen set.

Universal recommendations for making furniture

Making furniture is always more difficult for beginners, so experienced craftsmen recommend listening to the following recommendations:

If natural wood is used in the manufacture of the cabinet, it should be pre-treated and dried (humidity no more than 15%).
There is no need to save money on accessories. In the case of swing doors, it is advisable to purchase European-made hinges, despite the fact that they have a higher cost. Otherwise, low-quality products can quickly fail.
When making a built-in wardrobe from wood or plasterboard, you will need to carefully level the floor. It should be borne in mind that even due to the slightest deviations, the design will be crooked.
For beginners, it is better to first experiment with the manufacture and assembly of smaller structures. For example, it could be a small cabinet. Then you will have at least the slightest experience in making furniture.
In a hurry, you can easily confuse different panels and install them incorrectly. Therefore, there is no need to rush; it is better to assemble the structure gradually. It is recommended to roughly divide the work into several stages in order to have a clear plan.
Before starting the manufacture or assembly of any structure, it is better to consult a professional

It is also worth noting that the assembly of large-sized structures should not be done by one person. Therefore, it is better to take care of this in advance and involve another person in this matter.

Filling options

The storage system in the closet is the most important indicator that those who want to purchase practical furniture that would be useful in use and can use for a long time focus on. The main elements that fill a cabinet of any shape are:

1Shelves. This is an indispensable addition to any closet. Shelves can have different shapes, which depend on the shape of the structure itself; if the corner wardrobe is triangular, then the shelves will follow its shape, and if it is L-shaped, then they will be square or rectangular. Previously, cabinet manufacturers adhered to the principle “the more shelves, the better the cabinet,” but modern models imply the presence of such a number of these parts that others fit well.

Distribution for your clothes

2Boxes. These pull-out elements are designed mainly for storing small items: socks, underwear, etc. However, some corner wardrobes do not contain drawers at all, especially triangular ones, since it is difficult to install them into their design. When choosing this part of the cabinet, it is necessary to take into account how they close; it is advisable that they be equipped with a closer for smooth closing.

Small and cozy wardrobe

3Barbells. Designed for hanging clothes, mainly outerwear, on hangers. They are located at different heights and by their level you can determine what they are suitable for: the lower ones are for skirts and trousers, their height is usually about 1 meter, and the higher ones are for dresses and outerwear, their height is usually about 1.5 meters . If there are rods for outerwear, they have enough free space around them, but they are not found in all closets.

Note: The corner wardrobe in the bedroom itself is not intended for storing outerwear, and if such a compartment is added, this is done to save space in other rooms.

Doors like these help keep your wardrobe in order.

4Baskets. They are usually made for clothes that are stored folded, such as tank tops and T-shirts. It is also convenient to store shoes in them; some people practice storing slippers in drawers. Typically, baskets in corner wardrobes have the same pull-out mechanism design as drawers; therefore, they are often absent in triangular-shaped models.

Filling the internal space

After you decide on the shape, be sure to draw up a diagram or drawing of the interior decoration of your structure, especially if you order it not from the factory, but from assemblers according to your dimensions.

The most problematic part is filling the corners, since a standard shelf will not always fit there. If we talk about the diagonal model, there will be more corners, and therefore non-standard shelves. But in the L-shaped model, on the contrary, there are fewer problem areas. In fact, there is only one there, in the area of closure. Here either a bar for hangers is placed, or the space is used for rarely used items (household appliances, etc.).

In any case, shelves in a corner closet are an integral part of it, if we talk about classic models, the only question is their location and size.

Once the problem of hard-to-reach and complex places has been solved, you can decide on the option for using the rest of the space.

By the way, if the structure will be used in the hallway, then it may not be a classic closed cabinet, but also have open areas where several hooks are attached or several shelves are installed for small items or other items.

In addition, consider storing items that are not usually stored openly, such as underwear or bed linen. Here you may need drawers. But this is not a rule, but rather a recommendation; all internal content depends on the owner and his wishes (if we talk about prefabricated structures).

Well, remember about this moment, as a rule, hands. What's the point of installing a shelf longer than the arm length of the tallest person in the family. If the hand does not reach the wall, it means that the depth is too much and part of the space will not be used in any case, or in the future there will be some difficulties with removing things piled up against the wall.

This is especially true for modular models, when sizes cannot be ordered in advance and you have to rely on the available assortment.

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 take a closer look at models with colors that match the walls. This way it will stand out less and visually continue the line of the walls, increasing the apparent size of the room. Glass surfaces will multiply the effect of visually increasing space. For large rooms, you can choose a contrasting design, thus creating a cozy corner in a large space.

A wardrobe in light colors helps expand the space of the room

Facade materials:

MDF, fiberboard. Material veneered or covered with decorative film benefits from its affordable price. Cabinets with such a front are suitable for many traditional types of interior.
Mirror. Mirrored doors and front walls help to visually expand the visible boundaries of the room. They can be decorated with matte painting, which looks very elegant.
Strained glass. Cabinets with glass translucent, matte or glossy walls look great in rooms designed in high-tech, minimalist or modern style. At the same time, a wide range of glass colors and decorations gives free rein to design solutions. The disadvantage of this solution is the relatively high cost.
Photo printing. Often done by gluing a high-quality photograph printed on adhesive vinyl film onto an MDF base. Although it can be classified as cabinets with MDF facade design, its unique appearance allows it to be placed in a separate category.
Decorative acrylic. Acrylic sheets are usually translucent, but can have a matte or glossy finish. They can replace glass in façade design. High strength, good appearance and a wide range of colors give acrylic a big plus in combination with a relatively low cost.
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.
Rattan is another exotic material for cabinet decoration, which is made from vines. Due to its resistance to moisture, it is even used for bathroom furniture. The appearance is very easy to change because rattan is easy to paint.
Combined option. This design usually combines a mirror or glass with fiberboard or other material.

Corner wardrobe for a classic interior

Dimensions

When determining dimensions, the easiest way is to choose the height of the product - usually choose a model that is as high as the ceiling or a few centimeters lower.

Examples of drawings of corner cabinets with dimensions

When choosing a place for installation in an apartment, it is worth considering the minimum dimensions:

For standard products, the minimum length of the corner wall is 120 centimeters.
There are smaller designs where one wall is shorter and is 80 centimeters.
Five-wall models are suitable for small walls. At the same time, they protrude more towards the room.
The depth of the sections is usually 60 or 45 centimeters. For the first case, a standard crossbar or pantograph for clothing is made. Due to the standard hanger width of 55 centimeters, for wardrobes less than 60 centimeters deep, special rods are installed to hang clothes parallel to the door.

Features of corner furniture

As the name suggests, corner furniture can be placed in the appropriate part of the room, at the junction of two walls. Such cabinets are especially often installed in hallways, loggias, and other small rooms. In addition to the rational use of footage, they have other advantages:

capacity combined with space saving - thanks to the large depth, the model holds a lot of things, but at the same time visually does not look very bulky;
compactness - such options are smaller in size than conventional wardrobes;
model variety - presented in various styles, colors;
decorative function - if the proportions of the room are not too pleasing to the eye, corner cabinets will visually correct the shortcomings.

Despite all the advantages, the products have a significant drawback - they are not very convenient to use. Due to the significant depth, access to the far corners is difficult. This will do little harm if rarely used items are stored at the back wall, otherwise such a nuance will become a serious argument against choosing such a model.

With the help of design techniques, the slight bulkiness of corner cabinets is quite easy to eliminate. For example, mirrored facades will visually expand the space. Doors coated with frosted glass, glossy, or even just light-colored panels will serve the same purpose.

Materials used

One of the most important tasks when choosing a corner cabinet is the choice of material from which the furniture is made. Today, manufacturers use a wide variety of materials, but consumers, in most cases, are looking for practical and inexpensive furniture for their home.

Natural wood is rarely used due to the high labor costs and duration of the production process, which has a direct impact on the cost of such furniture. In order to make large-sized shields from solid wood, it is necessary to carefully select the wood. The material also requires special processing and preparation. The result is beautiful and representative furniture, but its cost, to put it mildly, does not always correspond to its performance properties.

The price of furniture made from natural wood is very high, so it is used only in the manufacture of exclusive expensive cabinets

Therefore, cabinets made from cheaper materials – fiberboard or MDF – are the most popular.

Chipboard (chipboard) is a slab of pressed chips made by hot pressing

Phenol-formaldehyde resins act as a binder, so before purchasing it is important to ask what class the material belongs to. Class E0 or E1 indicate low formaldehyde content in the boards, safe for health

Particle board is the most popular material due to its low cost

Chipboard boards are manufactured in different thicknesses, but this does not have any effect on the functional properties. Here the final decision rests with the buyer. The main advantages include:

practicality;
strength;
low cost;
moisture resistance;
aesthetics;
resistance to mechanical stress, etc.

MDF boards (fine fraction) are made by dry pressing fine sawdust under high temperature and pressure. Here the connecting link is paraffin, which is why such slabs are considered more environmentally friendly. MDF is the most popular material from which not only cabinets are made, but also other furniture, as well as interior doors.

In the manufacture of MDF, phenol-formaldehyde resins are not used, so this material does not emit harmful substances

Distinctive features of the material are:

strength and durability;
environmental friendliness;
ease of processing;
the possibility of figured milling or production of plates with embossing (especially important in the production of furniture facades);
pleasant to the touch surface and excellent decorative properties.

Sketches of a new product: first steps

In order to create a sketch of upholstered furniture, you need to have free time and inspiration, as well as an appropriate modern program.

If experience is not enough, the first steps in design can be taken using simple programs. At the very beginning, you can use photographs from the Internet, as this will help in choosing the direction of further work. Design allows you to decide on the direction of work, since even professionals cannot do all the elements with the same quality.

Steps to create upholstered furniture

In order to create a sketch of a sofa or armchair, you need to decide on the dimensions and calculate all the dimensions. They depend, first of all, on what mechanism will be embedded in the product, what shape it will be - straight or angular.

Creating a sketch and design of a sofa in a special program

It is important to remember that the mechanism is demanding on the size of the furniture, which has a huge impact on the overall dimensions, depth, width and height of the future furniture frame. Thus, roll-out mechanisms require a large frame depth

Design

The cabinet can be built-in or cabinet. Let's consider the advantages and disadvantages of each type, in which cases it is worth purchasing a ready-made option, and where it is better to order an individual project.

Built-in

The advantage of built-in furniture is its individual design, taking into account the specific layout of the bedroom. This is the height of the room and the free space on the sides of the corner. You have the right to choose the design of the facade and its dimensions, determine the content of the dressing room, linen, shoe and other sections to your liking.

Previously, drawings are drawn at the company’s office, a contract is concluded and deadlines are set. You can select a company based on ratings and reviews in the catalog.

The disadvantage of a built-in wardrobe is its higher cost than a similar mass-produced unit of the same size.

Ready-made corner cabinets in various modern design options can be viewed, touched and immediately purchased in the store. The seller will deliver a set of wardrobe parts on the day of payment and offer on-site assembly.

If a suitable option is not available in the salon, it can be ordered from the catalogue. A wide selection of beautiful large and small cabinets, the facades of which embody advanced design ideas, will not leave you without a purchase.

Stylish design with black and white accents

Unfortunately, cabinet products have disadvantages. It is not always possible to choose the optimal height of furniture. As a rule, there is free space between the ceiling and the top of the cabinet. The interior of the case does not always match your wishes, and sometimes you have to swap shelves, drawers and hangers.

An excellent choice for your bedroom interior is a corner wardrobe.

If you choose a model that is suitable for your room, clearly define a place for it and think about its design in detail, as well as the entire room, then this piece of furniture is best suited for the interior of your bedroom.

Which cabinet is best?

It all depends on the configuration, in this case there are several types:

Cabinet wardrobes for bedrooms are often large in size and are suitable exclusively for spacious bedrooms.

The best option for a small corner bedroom is a built-in wardrobe. Where the bottom and roof of the structure are the ceiling and floor. These models are produced to order only.

A prefab set is a modular cabinet in which the location of the elements is constantly changing, changing its shape and arrangement to improve the interior of the room.

A three-corner wardrobe for bedrooms has equal sides placed at right angles.

The trapezoidal cabinet consists of three sections - one central and two located on the sides. It is more convenient in everyday life due to smoothing corners.

We also recommend:

The ideal option is an L-shaped cabinet, which saves space and has sufficient volume.

The same applies to ordinary classic options and sliding wardrobes, which are more advanced.

What is the best way to place a corner wardrobe in the bedroom?

The most common method is to place the cabinet along two adjacent walls; in fact, this is how corner cabinets are usually located.

There are those who completely hide one wall and not completely hide the second, which, by the way, is very practical.

In general, besides the method of placing a cabinet in the corner, there is a more interesting option. One part of the closet should be left against the wall, and the other should be placed perpendicularly, dividing and closing part of the corner bedroom.

In the resulting fence you can place a bed and a bedside table, and on the opposite side of the fence you can place an armchair with a coffee table.

What is the best way to place furniture in the bedroom?

There are all kinds of ideas, you can consider them in detail:

Place an L-shaped corner wardrobe so that it completely occupies one side of the room, and place a bed with a bedside table next to it. Opposite it is best to arrange a corner sofa in the bedroom.

We divide the bedroom into two parts, we get a small corner bedroom (photo) and a dressing room. In the water part we place a bed and a bedside table, in the other part there is dressing room furniture.

We divide the room into two parts using a closet; in one we have a table and chairs, a TV and a corner sofa. On the other side we place corner furniture for the bedroom.

Not all sizes of corner wardrobes in the bedroom are suitable for square-shaped rooms. In one corner of the room we place a small wardrobe, in the other we place a bed, next to it there is a bedside table and a dressing table. We arrange the rest of the room at our discretion.

What color should I choose for the cabinet?

The design of your bedroom needs to be defined through color. Here are some great tips:

The corner wardrobe in the bedroom should match the color of the bed and other furniture.
Against the background of light-colored walls, a dark-colored cabinet always harmonizes perfectly, and vice versa, against the background of dark colors, light-colored furniture always looks good.
A closet in white or black looks good in a bedroom, against a background of contrasting tones. The white corner bedroom harmonized well with the dark tones.

The material from which the bedroom furniture is made must be combined or matched.

For example, a wooden bed should be in harmony with a wooden wardrobe. A wrought iron bed is always paired with wood carvings.

It is also necessary to take into account the style in which your bedroom is decorated: classic, modern, English or hi-tech. Each style uses its own material.

This is, first of all, an ordinary mirror - the most common and common type of decorated element that complements the design of the bedroom. Buying a corner wardrobe with built-in mirrors

Advantages and disadvantages

The undeniable advantage of corner furniture is its ergonomics. The designs of corner models allow you to free up additional space, which is especially important for small apartments. In addition, despite its small size, the corner furniture is quite spacious.

Also, the positive qualities include convenience and practicality of operation. For example, on the shelves of a corner wardrobe installed in the living room, you can place video and audio equipment, and a corner kitchen allows the housewife to create an ideal triangle of workspace: refrigerator-stove-work surface. For children's rooms, manufacturers offer transformable furniture, which is used for its intended purpose during the day, and in the evening it can be transformed into a bed.

In addition, it should be noted that currently there are many design solutions, including exclusive ones, that will help give the room individuality and originality.

Preparing all the details

Most often, the closet has two compartments: a wide one with a hanger bar and a narrow one with shelves. An open pencil case can be located on one or both sides.

Open shelves are necessary for souvenirs and figurines.

The standard sizes of the basic elements are as follows:

cabinet height – 180-220 cm;
width of sections – 45-80 cm;
distance between shelves – 30-35 cm;
width of shelves and drawers – 40-45 cm;
The depth of the drawers is 25-30 cm.

Don't forget to think about the interior of the cabinet.

When the drawing is ready, the parts are prepared. It consists of cutting materials into pieces of the required size and cleaning the cuts. If you have insufficient experience in such work or do not have suitable equipment, cutting can be done in a workshop.

Frame assembly

Before starting work, markings are carried out. Most often, built-in cabinets are made (especially from plasterboard), and therefore the designation of the position of parts and fasteners is applied directly to the wall.

Trust a professional to assemble your cabinet.

Installation of the frame is carried out as follows:

Connecting electrical wiring to the place where the lamps are fixed. This is necessary if lighting is planned in the closet.
Bonding rubber insulation to the guide profile. It should be located on the side that will be laid on the base of the furniture.
Fixing the guides along the marking line. Dowels are used for secure fastening.
Fixation of direct hangers.
Installation of fasteners for hangers. Its choice depends on the base material. Dowels are suitable for concrete or brick, and screws or nails are suitable for wood, gas or expanded clay concrete.
Inserting racks into vertical guides. They must be secured with hangers in the form of short self-tapping screws with a press washer.
Installation of stiffeners between rack profiles. The stability and strength of the structure depends on their number. Most ribs should be installed in places where heavy items are stored.

When creating diagrams, first indicate the external dimensions of the product: the dimensions of the cabinet box, its height and width.

How to arrange the inside of a closet

For comfortable use, the closet must be properly zoned. This is especially true for a dressing room located in the hallway or bedroom.

Before making a cabinet, you need to take into account various nuances.

For this purpose, internal content may include:

shelves that can be retractable or stationary, half or full depth, solid or ventilated;
hanger rod;
hooks;
shoe shelves;
drawers;
belt hanger;
trouser;
tie bar;
retractable baskets.

Most often, a corner closet is equipped with a swing door. For it, you need to install two fastenings - top and bottom. If the door is heavy, additional fasteners can be used, but no more than five in total.

Often the closet door is made of a mirror.

They should be located at least ten centimeters from the top and bottom corners to prevent the screws from coming out of the grooves. The step-by-step installation of fasteners is as follows:

Make markings. To do this, the doors are fitted to the sidewalls. The length of the indentation from the edge of the sash to the center of the hinge should be about 2.2 cm.
Drill the holes necessary for attaching the cups in the fixed sash. The recesses should not exceed 1.2 cm.
Insert cups into holes. They should fit in without distortion. Screw the screws to the door part of the fastening.
Install connecting parts. The drill must be held vertically.
Connect the sash and side frame. At this stage you need to get help.
Lubricate the mechanism with a small amount of oil. Wipe the surface with a cloth with good absorption.

Think carefully about your steps when creating a cabinet.

When planning how to make a corner cabinet with your own hands, you need to carefully calculate all the parameters so that the product looks organic. With careful, unhurried work, you can get an attractive, high-quality design.

Creating a Project

Before you start creating a drawing of the future structure, it is important to determine the place where it will be installed. At this stage, the following points should be taken into account: the number of shelves, drawers (if required). All this will allow us to develop the most detailed project.

It is important to observe the following nuances:

Not all apartments have standard, smooth walls and ceilings. This is why measurements should be taken from all sides, especially when designing a built-in wardrobe.
The depth of the finished cabinet should be at least 60 centimeters. Otherwise, such shelves will not be spacious.
Measurements should be immediately transferred to the drawing in order to correctly calculate the amount of materials.
If necessary, you should first level the floor in the place where you plan to install the cabinet.
To apply markings, you must use a building level, a square and a tape measure.
Sample drawing with dimensions

The diagram of a corner cabinet is drawn starting from the sides, because they are load-bearing and represent the appearance of whole boards. Then you should determine the height of the structure (usually from 2.2 meters).

Only then do you need to calculate the dimensions of the horizontal parts and the rods (if it is a wardrobe). Most often, large shelves are installed at the top of the cabinet, and a bar directly in the corner. The last step is to add additional designations to the diagram where mirrors, lighting and other elements will be located.

Corner cabinet shapes

Triangular - simple to make, quite roomy, but in a small space it takes up a lot of space.

L-shaped - very effective in organizing corner space, especially if you need to take up space along a wall with a protruding corner.

Radial is an unusual shape that largely serves as decoration, but the model is quite expensive due to its original design.

The pentagon is a very large storage space, and there are many variations of this shape that fit into rooms of different sizes.

Trapezoidal - good capacity, compact placement, suitable for almost any interior.

Coupe

The doors here are arranged in the same way as in compartment cars - they are retracted to the side. If the dimensions of the room are small, then a corner wardrobe for the bedroom will be the ideal solution.

The most convenient way to install it is close to the rest of the headset. The main advantage is that there is no need for free space in front of the product to open the doors.

Minuses:

the contents are poorly protected from dust;
the mechanism can break quite quickly if it is of low quality.

Furniture with sliding doors looks incredibly elegant. It will be a successful addition to the modern interior of the room. If you buy a white corner wardrobe for your bedroom with a compartment design, it will begin to appear visually larger.

Preparing and assembling the chest of drawers

To begin assembly, you need to prepare the materials. According to the drawing, boards of the required size are cut using a jigsaw.

If you do not have such experience, you can order boards of the required size at any hardware store.

When all the parts of the required size are available, you can begin assembly:

Mark the fastening points on each part. Do this using a ruler/tape measure

Using the marks obtained, assemble the chest of drawers with self-tapping screws.

Mark the location for the guides. The first guide should be marked from below the bottom (the inside of the chest of drawers): step back 30 mm and mark the first fastening point (for one guide, look for 4 points on each side).

It is necessary to find the attachment points for the remaining guides using the formula: Height of the drawer (front) + 3 mm – 25 mm.

Assembling the walls and bottom of the drawers. Mark the connection points and connect.

Screw the second parts of the guides to the bottom of the drawers. Insert the drawers into the chest of drawers and check if they slide out well. Screw the back of the dresser. Install fittings (drawer handles and decor).

Corner cabinet design

A wardrobe in light colors helps expand the space of the room

Facade materials:

MDF, fiberboard. Material veneered or covered with decorative film benefits from its affordable price. Cabinets with such a front are suitable for many traditional types of interior.
Mirror. Mirrored doors and front walls help to visually expand the visible boundaries of the room. They can be decorated with matte painting, which looks very elegant.
Strained glass. Cabinets with glass translucent, matte or glossy walls look great in rooms designed in high-tech, minimalist or modern style. At the same time, a wide range of glass colors and decorations gives free rein to design solutions. The disadvantage of this solution is the relatively high cost.
Photo printing. Often done by gluing a high-quality photograph printed on adhesive vinyl film onto an MDF base. Although it can be classified as cabinets with MDF facade design, its unique appearance allows it to be placed in a separate category.
Decorative acrylic. Acrylic sheets are usually translucent, but can have a matte or glossy finish. They can replace glass in façade design. High strength, good appearance and a wide range of colors give acrylic a big plus in combination with a relatively low cost.
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.
Rattan is another exotic material for cabinet decoration, which is made from vines. Due to its resistance to moisture, it is even used for bathroom furniture. The appearance is very easy to change because rattan is easy to paint.
Combined option. This design usually combines a mirror or glass with fiberboard or other material.

Corner wardrobe for a classic interior

Dimensions

When determining dimensions, the easiest way is to choose the height of the product - usually choose a model that is as high as the ceiling or a few centimeters lower.

Examples of drawings of corner cabinets with dimensions

When choosing a place for installation in an apartment, it is worth considering the minimum dimensions:

For standard products, the minimum length of the corner wall is 120 centimeters.
There are smaller designs where one wall is shorter and is 80 centimeters.
Five-wall models are suitable for small walls. At the same time, they protrude more towards the room.
The depth of the sections is usually 60 or 45 centimeters. For the first case, a standard crossbar or pantograph for clothing is made. Due to the standard hanger width of 55 centimeters, for wardrobes less than 60 centimeters deep, special rods are installed to hang clothes parallel to the door.
