Triangular wardrobe is ideal for the corner area of the room
Are you planning to purchase a triangular cabinet? Then I propose to get acquainted with its distinctive features, advantages and existing varieties. Visual photo illustrations will help us with this.
Materials
For the manufacture of corner cabinets, materials such as natural wood, particle boards, MDF, glass, mirrors and plastic are used.
Natural wood
Wooden models are completely safe for the health of others and look very noble. Solids of cherry, walnut, oak, maple and aspen have good performance characteristics. Furniture made from these species is famous for its high strength and long service life. With proper care and careful use, wooden cabinets can last up to 50 years. The disadvantages of such models include too much weight and high cost.
Laminated chipboard (LDSP)
Corner cabinets made of this material are a budget option, but are considered quite reliable and durable. Boards for the production of such furniture are made from chips, which are first pressed and then laminated. The result is a light, durable and cheap material widely used in furniture production. The disadvantages of laminated chipboard cabinets include low moisture resistance, which is why the product begins to deform over time when placed in a damp room.
MDF
This material is also based on wood, which is steam treated under high pressure, then dried and glued together using paraffin and resins. Unlike chipboards, MDF is not afraid of moisture and is quite resistant to steam and sunlight. Cabinets made of this material represent the largest group, and in terms of cost they occupy an intermediate niche between products made from natural wood and models made from chipboard.
The advantages include a long service life and resistance to high weight loads. The average service life of such a cabinet reaches 30 years. There is perhaps only one drawback of MDF cabinets - the release of harmful substances contained in resins into the environment. However, conscientious manufacturers reduce such risks to almost zero by purchasing high-quality slabs with a minimum content of phenols.
Glass and mirrors
They are used to decorate doors and side walls, giving the structure lightness and aesthetics. As for built-in cabinets, they, as a rule, do not require the presence of back or even side walls; they consist of a frame and a front panel. The frame is made of hardwood timber or metal profiles. For the manufacture of facade parts, plastic, MDF and laminated chipboard are used.
How to make a corner cabinet with your own hands
You can only undertake furniture manufacturing if you have work experience and the necessary tools. Creating a corner cabinet consists of the following steps:
- Determine a place in the bedroom for installing a closet.
- If you find it difficult to make the drawings yourself, you can print them ready-made.
- Having decided that the furniture body will be assembled from MDF, they draw up a detailed specification of components indicating the exact dimensions.
- Cutting MDF sheets can be done at a construction supermarket. Order trimming of parts there.
- The delivered components are laid out in the order of their installation.
- The assembly of the corner cabinet begins with the formation of a supporting pedestal and installation of the lower base.
- Vertical walls, partitions and upper horizontal slabs are installed.
- If the cabinet occupies the entire space from floor to ceiling, then installing a “roof” is not necessary.
- Fiberboard back panels are secured. You can also do without them; it is enough that the walls inside the cabinet are clean and painted with high-quality enamel.
- To ensure the stability of the structure, its vertical panels are fastened to the walls with metal corners, which are attached to the MDF with self-tapping screws and to the wall with dowels.
- It is advisable to assemble the case using confirmations. If the furniture is moved to another place, the cabinet can be easily and quickly disassembled without any damage.
- Fill the interior space of the wardrobe with shelves, drawers, hangers and crossbars.
- It is best to buy door leaves ready-made, because they form the appearance of the furniture. Not every home craftsman is able to make beautiful canvases.
- Having secured the hinges, hang the doors.
- After checking the furniture for stability and the absence of distortions, they begin to fill the closet with things.

Features of a corner wardrobe
Differences from a regular wardrobe
The most significant difference is already contained in the name - the corner version is placed in the corner of the room, which allows for space saving, while a regular wardrobe is located along the wall. In addition, they also differ in appearance: if ordinary models are, as a rule, rectangular in shape, then corner ones are much more diverse: these are rectangular, trapezoidal, and five-walled formats.
Advantages of a corner wardrobe
- Compact: this design is ideal for small spaces and will save space;
- Spaciousness: despite being economical, such models are quite deep, equipped with several internal shelves and allow you to store a large number of things;
- This furniture is at the peak of popularity, so modern furniture factories offer a wide range of models and color variations, which is why choosing a model to suit your individual taste will not be difficult;
- Versatility: such cabinets are perfect for any room in the apartment, be it a children's room, a living room, or a bedroom.
Disadvantages of a corner wardrobe
- Such models are usually placed in a corner, so when purchasing, you may need to rearrange the room;
- The sliding wardrobe is equipped with a special mechanism, rails for moving doors, which takes up some space in the internal space (about 10 cm);
- The mechanism requires care; first of all, it should be kept clean.
As you can see, the disadvantages are insignificant, there are fewer of them than advantages, and this is precisely what explains the popularity of such furniture among Russian consumers.
Transforming the interior: white cabinet
Many designers often use white color in any interior elements in their projects. This applies to furniture, room decoration, and accessories. This is due to the fact that white color has a number of advantages over other colors.
Namely:
- Always looks luxurious.
- Compatible with most shades.
- It has a psychological effect, creating the effect of calm, serenity and purity.
- Creates a visual effect of expanding space.
Therefore, there are quite a lot of models of this color in furniture catalogs. In addition, white color allows you to experiment with size, design, execution, style, design and materials. The surface can be glossy or matte.
The following types are found in shape: classic, corner, l-shaped, diagonal, radial, pentagonal, hinged, sliding wardrobes, trapezoidal.
Similar diversity also applies to the choice of furniture functionality: it can be a bookcase, a wardrobe, a display cabinet equipped with a mirror, a pencil case, a corner cabinet with a computer desk. Among the materials used are: MDF, chipboard, wood, metal, plastic, glass, mirror.
What examples of corner wardrobes for a bedroom are worth paying attention to?
Choose furniture that has a sufficient number of shelves inside. It is better if these are narrow and low shelves; it is easier to place things in them, and the stacks will not fall, as is the case with shelves that are too high.
The advantage of a corner wardrobe in the bedroom is that it takes up little space due to its unique design.
For example, there is a stack of T-shirts; it will fit perfectly on a shelf in the shape of a cell. But if the shelf is very wide and high, you can place more things next to each other, but there is a chance that stacks will get caught and create clutter.
It is very important that there is a section with hangers. We all have items that cannot be folded, such as items made from delicate fabrics.
There should be enough space for hangers and things.
If you have books or interior details that you want to decorate the interior with, then a trapezoidal model is suitable. It looks triangular, but has small side panels that usually house additional shelves. The shelves are small, but located along the entire length.
Pay attention to samples with mirrors. Firstly, this is a functional solution, and secondly, it visually increases the space. Such mirrors are placed on doors; usually the panels go from the floor to the end of the door.
It is convenient to consider your own mapping in them.
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.

Types of built-in corner cabinets
It seems like how many configurations can you come up with for a corner cabinet? It turns out that designers have a rich imagination. Judge for yourself.
- L-Shaped: Two rectangular sections intersect at right angles. A maximum capacity option that is also very economical for the square centimeters of your bedroom. It is suitable for small spaces where every millimeter counts.
- Triangular. The front panel connects two walls into one straight line, forming a triangular niche. With a large width, it does not allow rational use of space. Needs proper planning of the interior space. However, this is a very convenient option in small bedrooms where you need to smooth out corners and find space for narrow cabinets. If you need to hide someone in a closet, this model is most convenient in this case.
- Trapezoidal. Such modules are often used in complex projects. Unlike the triangular-shaped model, it is much more convenient to place shelves, rods and storage baskets in it.
- Radius. Divided into concave and convex models. The first of them imperceptibly create additional volume. In fact, they serve as a modification of triangular wardrobes. The second recreates the silhouettes of L. Soft lines go well with modern, technological, romantic, eclectic.
- Combination. It combines elements of the above models. For example, L-shaped with a wavy facade line.
- With open shelves. In some models it is convenient to leave the shelves open. Here you can store books, CDs, decorative porcelain and flowers. Shelves of unusual shape can become an interior decoration.
- With a mezzanine. Sometimes the height of the ceilings allows you to place a mezzanine on top or on the side of the cabinet. It should be noted that they cannot be hung above the bed, since the module with objects weighs a decent amount. It is better to place the mezzanine on a free wall. For example, above the table.
Location options
Depending on the wishes of customers and the geometry of the room, you can choose the option of installing furniture: built-in or cabinet-mounted. In the first case, the walls, floor and ceiling of the room replace the furniture design parts. And only the facade is installed - sliding doors. This option is stationary - the guides are fixed on the floor, ceiling and walls. The main advantage of the model is efficiency, since funds are spent only on doors and internal contents. The main disadvantage of built-in furniture is that it cannot be rearranged.
We can talk about the cabinet version as a full-fledged model of furniture, since there are walls, a ceiling, and a floor. The main advantage of the design is that it can be rearranged. The disadvantage is that such products are most often sold disassembled and it is advisable to use the services of specialists to assemble them.
When choosing furniture arrangement options, you should also consider its purpose:
A corner wall cabinet is best suited for the kitchen. Advantages of the hanging model: placing pieces of furniture along two walls with a common angle gives the room an original look, significantly increases the area for storing objects and products, and uses a “dead” zone. A hanging cabinet for storing small items and hygiene items is also conveniently located in the corner of the bathroom; the floor option is perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways
When choosing furniture, it is advisable to pay attention to modular systems; A corner closet with a chest of drawers will allow you not only to neatly place outerwear and casual clothes, but also to conveniently arrange small items. And thanks to the different arrangement of furniture, it will be possible to create a cozy, calm atmosphere; A corner closet with a mezzanine is perfect for storing out-of-season clothes.
Most often, pine construction is used in kitchen systems. This is explained primarily by the modest size of the room and the need to maximize space utilization. A corner cabinet under the sink is often used as additional storage space for various utensils or detergents. Since there are many types of sinks, most often a hole in the countertop is cut for a specific model chosen by the buyer.

Rules for placing corner wardrobes in the bedroom
To get maximum efficiency from placing the product in the bedroom, try to choose the most optimal option from the tips below.
When choosing a corner wardrobe for your bedroom, it is important to consider not only how it will fit into the design, but also its practicality.
- Symmetrical furniture shapes will not only allow you to create an original design with a twist, but also align the walls.
- If the room is wider and you would like to make it a little longer, then place the wardrobe and bed in opposite corners. Then the room will visually stretch out.
- Try not to place the wardrobe next to the head of the bed, especially if the panels are mirrored. If this sign does not work for you, then try to place the cabinet further away, because if it stands next to it, it will be difficult to use.
- If there is a passage that you do not want to obscure, then you can place a diagonal wardrobe. Then everything will fit, and the doorway will not be blocked.
The main thing is that the furniture does not clutter up the decor, but makes it more free.
Modern drawings, diagrams and ideas allow you to achieve the desired effect even in a tiny bedroom. The easiest way is to order furniture, because the master can help with advice.
Types of corner cabinets
When choosing a cabinet, you must be guided by a number of criteria
Particular attention should be paid to such points as the layout and dimensions of the room in which it will stand
When choosing a cabinet, you should take into account the size of the room in which it will stand.
The stylistic and design solution of the interior, the material from which the rest of the furniture is made, the required volume and internal content for the arrangement of things for which this or that model is intended - all these points must be taken into account.
The closet must fit into the overall interior of the apartment.
In addition to all of the above, you need to decide on the type of cabinet. It can be built-in or case-mounted, i.e. free-standing. From this point of view, each option has its pros and cons. The built-in is made to order, i.e. The space of the room is used as efficiently as possible, without sacrificing its internal area. But, unfortunately, it is not maneuverable, and is intended only for a specific place.
A corner cabinet can be either built-in or cabinet-mounted.
The same cannot be said about hull ones. They can freely move not only from one corner to another, but also to different rooms or apartments, if its owner needs it. The design of a corner cabinet can be in the form of:
- triangle (affordable price, simple design with large capacity, require more space);
- trapezoids (roomy and easy to combine with other furniture in the room);
- pentagon (have a large capacity);
- semicircles (radial or radial - an interesting design solution, but quite high cost due to the complexity of manufacturing);
- letters G (space is used as efficiently as possible).
Choosing a corner cabinet
When selecting a cabinet, it is important to take into account the features of the room. There are several varieties of such cabinets: rectangular, trapezoidal, five-wall, built-in corner wardrobe and so on.
For small rooms, five-wall panels are best suited, as they are very spacious without looking bulky. Often such furniture is installed in hallways, since there is little space in these rooms.
For hallways, a small triangular cabinet is best suited.
It is worth noting that some people do not correctly understand the advantages of corner cabinets and order such furniture for themselves only because of the non-standard appearance or because they believe: “Any corner furniture is better than ordinary furniture.”
Sometimes the result is the purchase of a product with a small cut. That is, in essence, the cabinet is simply placed against one of the corner walls, like ordinary furniture. In this case, the advantages of the corner design are practically not revealed.

Moreover, the additional space of such a closet is only enough to put several pairs of socks in the closet, and the resulting protrusion deep into the room visually takes up much more free space. In addition, corner furniture usually costs more, so there is also an overpayment for almost the same useful volume.
Therefore, before purchasing or ordering furniture, you should think carefully about whether a corner cabinet is suitable for a particular room or whether you can get by with traditional furniture and save money.
It’s best to look at the photo of the corner wardrobe, this will help you decide.

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
Examples of corner cabinets in the interior
Corner cabinets, due to their variety of designs, can organically fit into the design of any room. Large models are suitable for spacious rooms. Narrower cabinets that look like pencil cases will not “eat up” a lot of space in tiny rooms. They are used to store clothes, books, household appliances and dishes. It is important to know. To make the furniture as inconspicuous as possible and the room more voluminous, use classic models of corner cabinets. Some of their facades are traditionally decorated with mirrors. A reflective surface will visually enlarge the room.
Hallway
In the hallway, a closet is a necessity, so as not to clutter other storage areas with outer clothing; it is hung inside a corner-type structure. Triangular options are suitable for small and cramped rooms. If the corridor abuts a blank wall, this furniture is placed under it. As an experimental option, the cabinet can be placed near the front door, if there is enough space from it to the nearest corner. The design should not only match the overall color palette, but also be in harmony with the rest of the furniture.
Usually in the hallway there are additional poufs or benches for changing shoes. Furniture materials should have something in common. Traditionally, closet fronts are made of mirrors so that guests and owners can evaluate their appearance before going outside. The content is dominated by a section with a bar for things on hangers and “shoe” shelves. The latter can completely eliminate the need to install a cabinet in the hallway. It is important to know. Some models feature original shelf designs. A fashionable solution is folding mechanisms that open easily and allow you to organize a special order for storing shoes.
Living room
Wardrobes are rarely placed in the living room. Now they are trying to move this piece of furniture into the bedroom, because the fashion for sets filled to the brim with books and crystal is long gone. In exceptional cases, corner cabinets are still installed in this room. Mostly trapezoidal, radial and L-shaped models are chosen. The latter can be supplemented with a niche for a TV, which will allow you to kill two birds with one stone. Open shelves on the side can be used as a bookcase. A corner cabinet is usually purchased to match the sofa or other large design object in the interior (table, armchairs), so that it does not stand out in the overall stylistic picture and does not look “orphaned”.
Children's
Multifunctional furniture is usually used in a children's room. This practice applies not only to rooms where two or more children live. Usually a small room is allocated for the child if the parents live in an apartment. There are complex corner models on the market that are included in the headset. It not only has a storage area, but also niches, a workspace, and sometimes even a built-in bed. Almost every corner cabinet design for a nursery has open side shelves on one of the walls. They are intended to accommodate toys. The color scheme is dominated by calm shades, which are combined with a couple of bright accents. This idea can be easily implemented in combined facades.
Bedrooms
In the bedroom, a corner wardrobe often serves as a wardrobe. Built-in structures are ideal for these purposes. In the rest room, all furniture is usually selected according to a neutral-calm color scheme. This practice is especially relevant for tiny rooms. The prevailing tones are:
- White and blue;
- Soft shades of brown (sand, beige);
- Pink with white;
- Gray and a couple of bright blue, purple accents;
- Yellow, green and again white.
All these color solutions are found in the range of bedroom furniture. In classic versions, corner cabinets are assembled from MDF and chipboard panels that imitate wood in light shades. White furniture decorated with glass or mirror will organically blend into minimalism, high-tech, modern and Scandinavian style. The “floating” bed (suspended structure) is in harmony with the white, airy wardrobe. The radial type is combined with round beds. The wardrobe is usually placed on the nearest wall next to the bed so that the owners can easily take the necessary thing.
Structure, types, sizes
The corner wardrobe can be built-in or cabinet. In built-in ones, room structures are used as walls, floors and ceilings. A façade with sliding doors is attached to them. That is, this design turns out to be stationary - the guides are attached to the walls, floor and ceiling. The advantage of this type of corner cabinets is its cost-effectiveness, the disadvantage is the impossibility of portability. Another important point: the walls, floor and ceiling must be level, otherwise the structure will be skewed, which will negatively affect the operation of the sliding doors.
The cabinet corner wardrobe has its own walls, floor and ceiling
Cabinet corner wardrobes are full-fledged furniture with walls, floor and ceiling. They differ from a regular wardrobe in the presence of sliding doors and in the fact that in height they usually occupy the entire space up to the ceiling. They are delivered from the factory or workshop disassembled and assembled locally, as they have such dimensions that they simply will not fit through the doors.
Types by structure
The shape of corner wardrobes can be of several types:
- L-shaped. The closet occupies two adjacent walls and the corner between them.
- Diagonal. In cross section they have the shape of a triangle. Convenient in small spaces, allowing you to use the space between two doors or windows on adjacent walls.
- Trapezoidal. They have a slightly larger area than diagonal ones.
- Five-walled. The most massive option.
To make the difference in structure more clear, it is better to look at all models in a graphical representation (pictured below).
Types of corner wardrobes
If we talk about ease of use, then the best option is L-shaped. Normally, you can assemble the contents in a five-wall and trapezoidal wardrobe. The most inconvenient, of course, is the triangular one. It will have triangular shelves on both sides, which are not very spacious. At the same time, the middle will be empty, since the filling of the cabinet is located along the walls. The same can be said about the five-walled room, with the only difference being that there are no triangular shelves here.
What material
Any of the designs can be made with elements of radial technology - with rounded corners. Such sliding wardrobes are made from MDF, the manufacturing technology of which allows the production of rounded shapes. MDF is also laminated and there are no fewer color options.
Corner L-shaped wardrobe with radial elements
As you can see in the photo, near the entrance and in the middle part the corners are not sharp, but rounded. Firstly, it looks beautiful, and secondly, it is safer - there are no sharp edges on which you can seriously hurt yourself.
Dimensions
The easiest way is usually to decide on the height - right up to the ceiling or a couple of centimeters lower. All other parameters depend on the room in which you plan to install a corner wardrobe and the available space. We can probably say about the minimum sizes:
- If the cabinet is diagonal with a triangular cross-section, then the minimum length of the sides at the right angle is 120 cm. The volume will be very small, although they can also make walls with a length of 100 cm or even less.
- If one of the walls is longer (120 cm and 80 cm, for example), it is worth considering the option of a trapezoidal section. On the side that is longer, a partition is placed, the depth of which is about 40-45 cm, and a straight line is drawn from it to the short side.
- If the walls adjacent to the corner are short, an L-shaped structure can be installed. Moreover, one of them is desirable to be at least 120 cm, and the second can be shorter.
- Five-wall sliding wardrobes can be installed against walls with a length of 80 cm or more. That is, it can be placed even in the smallest corridor. But due to its great depth, it will “eat up” a lot of space, making the room even smaller.
In a small room, the best choice is an L-shaped design. It is the least massive and leaves more space free. To visually assess this, draw all suitable types of cabinets on the floor plan. Then you can calculate the remaining free space.
A few words about the depth of wardrobes. There are two standard options - 45 cm and 60 cm, the minimum depth is 40 cm. With a width of 60 cm or more, a regular crossbar or pantograph is installed under clothes on hangers in the closet (so that the entire height to the ceiling can be used). Smaller models require a special rod that allows you to place hangers parallel to the door, since the hangers have a standard width of 55 cm and simply do not fit.
Corner models
Conventionally, all models of such furniture are divided into two large groups: ordinary - ready-made, sold in stores, and built-in - made to order. As we have already found out, in such cases the latter are preferable. In addition, the closet in the room looks much more harmonious when it is made up to the ceiling. And built-in structures can be made “invisible” in the interior if their color is identical to the color of the walls.
If we further consider their advantages, it turns out that you can choose any content you like: the number of shelves and their types; rods - retractable or stationary; trousers; baskets, etc. In addition, internal fittings and mechanisms can also significantly improve the efficiency and usability of a cabinet.
In addition to this gradation, there may be other types of corner wardrobes. They can be divided into these depending on their shape:
The traditional corner wardrobe looks like an L-shape; it has two blank walls and several sliding doors. And so that the end sides of such cabinets are not empty, radius or oblique shelves are often built into them. This further increases functionality and makes the cabinet more harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
Triangular wardrobe - its capacity is slightly lower, but on the other hand, it does not have protruding corners. This is the model that can become part of the wall. This option will fit perfectly into an apartment in a minimalist style. For small rooms, a triangular wardrobe is best suited.
A sliding wardrobe in the form of a trapezoid - of all the types described above, this is the deepest option, since two sidewalls have been added to the triangle shape. Due to this, its depth increases. It is these options that often serve as mini dressing rooms. After all, you can enter them and even change clothes. In addition, they are equipped with internal lighting. As a result, with such a closet, another small room with its own lighting and doors may appear.
Radius wardrobe - these models are the most expensive because they require a special roller mechanism and the manufacture of radius doors costs more. They come in two types: with convex radii and with internal radius. The first option is justified by the large capacity, the second by the originality of the forms - it’s rare to find a wardrobe with concave facades.
Materials
For many years, corner wardrobes, like other pieces of furniture, have been made from three main types of material: chipboard, wood, MDF. Each has a number of advantages and disadvantages and offers many options for creating stunning corner wardrobes. The material with the widest choice of colors is chipboard. With its help, a glossy effect is created on furniture, which is used in many styles and design directions. For those who do not like sharp corners in furniture, MDF material was created. It is using it that cabinets are made using radial technology. Like chipboard, MDF can be implemented in lamination and various design solutions. Solid wood cabinets are no longer as popular as they once were due to the lack of opportunity to add rich variety to the design of the wood surface. But they are in demand among lovers of classics and other styles in which wooden furniture is an inseparable component of the interior.
Features, pros and cons
The corner wardrobe has unique characteristics, among which there are descriptions of both positive and negative qualities. The advantages of corner structures include:
Capacity. Wardrobes can have many sections, which are convenient for storing a large number of things. Even compact corner structures will fit everything you need for your home or office.
- Such wardrobes have elegant and beautiful shapes. Their silhouette adds elegance to the entire interior of the room, hides imperfections and masks planning errors.
- The convenient design and shape of the corner cabinet allows you to create an entire dressing room in the room. The product will be convenient not only for storing clothes, but also for creating a private area for changing clothes.
- This type of wardrobe is used in various rooms. It is installed in almost all types of premises - bedrooms, children's rooms, corridors, offices. Depending on the purpose of the room, a suitable product design is easily selected.
- Lots of decor options. You can create exclusive models of corner cabinets according to your own design or use the ideas of designers. A wide range of shapes and materials are used for decoration.
Despite a lot of advantages, corner products have some disadvantages:
- A corner wardrobe is not suitable for all types of layouts. It will not look at all in a narrow room or corridor. The most preferred room shape is square or rectangular.

- Shelves made of the material of the main frame of the structure and its facades or of glass, plastic, metal. The design of the shelf and the material of its manufacture influences the way things are stored - directly on its surface or in separate boxes, boxes, baskets, etc. Metal and plastic shelves with perforations or in the form of a rigid mesh promote natural air circulation and ventilation of clothes.
- Drawers for storing accessories, small wardrobe items, and underwear. It is advisable to equip them with closers that ensure smooth closing.
- Hanging clothes is carried out using rods located at different heights, depending on the type of clothing - dresses, trousers or shirts. The height of the opening under the bar in the compartment for outerwear and dresses is 140–160 cm, for blouses and skirts - 90–120 cm. When manufacturing a custom-made wardrobe, the anthropometric data of the customer are taken into account. In corner cabinets with a depth of more than 50 cm, the rod occupies a position parallel to the back wall. If the depth is small, then for convenience, several short rods located perpendicular to the rear wall are used.
- To store linen and clothes that can be kept folded, you can use baskets, mesh blocks, fabric, plastic and metal containers with a pull-out mechanism.
- Additionally, the interior space of the corner cabinet is equipped with all kinds of hooks, tripods, roll-out and rotating shelves for storing shoes, accessories - bags, jewelry, ties and belts.

Installation of built-in corner wardrobes in the bedroom
Unlike frame options, built-in wardrobe models in the bedroom are completely frameless. The functions of the bottom, walls and lid lie on the surface of the niche or walls of the bedroom. This feature can cause a number of problems with the installation of guides. To avoid this, strips called false frames are added. They are made of the same material as the facade, but are not full walls. Their width varies from 8 to 12 cm. The false strips are attached in the same way as the sides and covers would be placed. In this case, only the lower one can be placed on strong glue. However, it is this that is most undesirable, since it will raise the lower rail of the coupe system even higher than the floor level. The rest are attached to the walls. The false frame will help to level out minor differences in the walls. It will also hide cracks or chips in the plaster after drilling. A good option for floors covered with ceramic tiles or covered with a thick fleecy carpet.
Before installing a built-in wardrobe, it is recommended to level the walls with plasterboard and make a concrete floor screed, removing the old tiles.
