Even in a spacious house or apartment you have to think about the rational use of space - every year the number of things increases. What can we say about small-sized apartments? Every centimeter counts here. One way to make optimal use of space is a corner wardrobe. This type of furniture allows you to occupy corners that are rarely used in general - it is difficult to install something there. Next, we’ll talk about what they are and how to plan the “filling” correctly.
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.

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.
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.

Advantages and disadvantages
A wardrobe is a traditional interior element that has been used for storing things since ancient times. Its modern analogue - a sliding wardrobe with a corner shape - is, in fact, a multifunctional design that can accommodate a huge number of all kinds of things. And thanks to the mass of additional functional elements, it is possible to use the cabinet completely.
Among the advantages of this functional furniture, others can be noted:
- the ability, even with the minimum dimensions of a corner wardrobe, to accommodate a huge amount of clothes, shoes, and small household appliances;
- convenient access to any of the items placed in it;
- the corner configuration is specially created for the most irrational places in the home - corners, which frees up additional space;
- The interesting design of such a cabinet will help transform any interior and play up boring corners in an original way.
Of course, corner wardrobes have some disadvantages, which can be called their features. Let's look at them in more detail:
- Almost all such furniture is made to individual orders. But this process is not quick, and you will have to wait. If you have a standard apartment, then it is quite possible that you will be lucky enough to find ready-made corner cabinets for sale so that you can immediately buy what you need;
- the sliding system of such compartments is the most vulnerable part of the structure. When installing short-lived profiles in them or the presence of an uneven building surface, there is a high probability of rapid breakdown of this element;
- Often, especially in wardrobes, it is necessary to install additional lighting inside the structure;
- For the normal functioning of the cabinet, or rather its sliding system, systematic cleaning of the guides is required.
When choosing, pay attention to the reputation of the manufacturer of such furniture, the quality of the materials used in its manufacture, and fittings. The internal content of the structure should be practical and functional.
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.

Shapes and sizes
A variety of options for corner cabinets solves the problem of furnishing small rooms and allows you to visually adjust the size of the room. It is customary to distinguish the following models:
- triangular - characterized by a large internal volume, ease of manufacture and a very affordable price. The disadvantage of the form can be considered the significant size of the area that is taken away from the room;
- g-shaped - stands out for its optimal use of room space without significantly reducing its area. Such models, installed at right angles, fit perfectly into the premises. A distinctive feature is the ability to select models with different lengths of side elements, which allows you to visually change the geometry of the room. The design solution for such furniture is usually simple, so it can be classified as corner cabinets in the economy segment;
- trapezoidal - allows you to implement many ideas when designing an interior, as it is easily combined with other furnishings;
- The five-wall form is the most common due to its ability to accommodate a lot of things. The filling is formed individually. The volume of the model allows you to install clothes hangers, drawers, shoe racks;
- diagonal - a similar form of furniture is used if the room has an irregular shape. It is in this case that the diagonal structure can be positioned in such a way that the passage is not cluttered. Most often, such models are made to order;
- The radius model has a semicircular appearance and has a non-standard shape. Perfect for installation in a hall decorated in Art Deco or Empire style. Beautiful models with a concave facade are effectively complemented by open shelving with shelves on which decorative trinkets and souvenirs are installed. A significant disadvantage is the high price, complexity of manufacturing and installation (especially S-shaped cabinets): concave - when the facade is curved inward, thereby reducing the useful storage space;
- convex - the facade is curved outward, and the storage system increases;
- wavy - this facade looks very original. It looks like a surface that alternately bends inward and outward.

It is impossible to determine any norms or standards based on the dimensions of furniture. Each manufacturer produces models in certain sizes. The following average statistical parameters of products can be distinguished: height 200-250 cm, depth 50-70 cm, width of each side 70-240 cm. In many ways, the dimensions of the models are determined by their purpose. So, a bar cabinet can have dimensions of 200x72x72 cm, and a linen closet can have at least 220x67x67 cm.
The best option is to order solid wood corner cabinets individually. In this case, the furniture will be made of environmentally friendly material and will harmoniously fit into the interior of a particular room.
If you don’t want to spend money on expensive models made of natural wood, then you can consider other options for creating a cozy atmosphere in the room. A corner cabinet made of plasterboard is a budget option for creating a structure of absolutely any shape and parameters. A distinctive feature is that the content can be very different and can be formed by either portable or removable shelves, or stationary ones.
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).

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.

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.
Facade selection
The appearance of the corner wardrobe depends on how the doors are designed. They are the ones who attract attention. They are made from:
- MDF and chipboard. Durable and relatively inexpensive materials. They have a lot of colors and textures: imitation of wood of different species and colors, colored smooth-painted surfaces with shine (glossy) or without (matte), designs and ornaments of different styles and types.
Corner wardrobe with MDF facade - Glass (usually frosted, patterned, colored). The glass used is thick, tempered. Some companies offer to apply some kind of design on glass. Usually there is a certain catalog from which you can choose the image you like.
With glass doors, even a massive structure does not look so heavy - Mirrors with possible application of drawings and ornaments using sandblasting. Mirrors are also used thick. They can also have different shades - gray, blue, yellowish, etc. shade. Drawings on the mirror are also usually made from catalogues, but some companies can realize your idea.
Mirrors are almost a classic of the genre - Photo printing is one of the possible coatings for chipboard doors, but due to its unique appearance it is usually placed in a separate category. A drawing or photograph is transferred to the film. The print quality is very high, the image is very realistic.
This piece of furniture cannot be called inconspicuous - Combinations of the materials and technologies described above. The most decorative effect is obtained by combining several materials. The number of combinations is very large and you can choose a front for a corner wardrobe to suit any interior and taste.
Combinations often look more interesting - Radial corner wardrobes. This is the name given to those models whose walls or facades are not straight, but curved. Such models look more modern, smooth lines
Curved smooth lines look much better than broken or straight lines
With all this diversity, it is necessary to remember the influence of color on the perception of furniture. Since a corner wardrobe usually occupies a fairly large area, it largely determines the “sound” of the entire interior. Therefore, it is necessary to remember several truths. There aren't that many of them. First, mirrors push boundaries, expanding space. Light semi-gloss or glossy furniture and facades with light glass work approximately the same way. Secondly, dark furniture makes a small room even smaller. If you at least take this into account, there will be fewer questions.
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.
- Not all models of this type can create a variety of compartments. Small designs do not accommodate many shelves for various things; they are mainly intended for placing outerwear or clothes on hangers.
Ergonomics of filling a corner wardrobe for a bedroom
Being a fairly spacious storage system, a corner cabinet allows you to rationally use its internal space. The corner wardrobe in the bedroom is filled using the following elements:
- 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.
The parameters of corner wardrobes for the bedroom, the dimensions and drawings of which are provided by manufacturers, are selected individually
Filling
Modern storage systems located in furniture may include filling from several different elements:
- shelves are used to place clothes, things, shoes in boxes, suitcases or bags. Wood and metal are used for production. Can be stationary or removable;
- drawers are used to store small items, linen, clothes, bags. Some models are equipped with special dividers that allow you to place different items (ties, belts, jewelry) in separate sections;
- basket - such an element is rare. However, it must be admitted that things in it are well ventilated, and roller mechanisms ensure convenient use of this device;
- bar – used for placing clothes on special hangers. Depending on the length of the items, the appropriate opening under the bar is selected. It is believed that 140-160 cm is enough for outerwear, and 95-115 cm for skirts, trousers or shirts. The clothes rail can be installed parallel or perpendicular to the back wall of the furniture.
Also, the filling that distinguishes the cabinet corner cabinet is formed by various hooks, which are conveniently suitable for placing bags, belts, belts. Modular corner wardrobes can be used to optimally furnish a room. Such modern designs fit perfectly into the interior of any room. They fit well with a table in the kitchen, as they allow you to implement different ideas for arranging objects. If you choose the classic option, then an economy corner cabinet is suitable.

The range of models is quite wide, it can be like a small corner wardrobe in the bedroom or a huge one with panoramic glass doors. If you have decorated your apartment in a minimalist or classic style, take a closer look at the strict shapes and rich colors. This choice is also well suited for the classic style. If you want to feel like a socialite, then opt for a semicircular wardrobe. Thanks to its unusual design, such a corner wardrobe resembles a showcase of an expensive boutique and is able to accommodate all the purchased outfits.
L-shaped corner wardrobe - suitable for people with a huge wardrobe. Its design looks like the letter L and consists of two cabinets joined at the ends. It is a good option for storing numerous things, and due to the glass decoration it looks not only unnoticeable, but also very practical.
Devices for convenient storage
Carousel for shoes
A great way to use deep corner niches. And it’s easy to compactly store a couple of dozen shoes. You can easily browse the available stock and choose the right model for your morning or evening outfit.
Pull-out shelf with compartments for ties and underwear
It is convenient to put small accessories and underwear in small cells so that you can see everything that is in stock. Pull-out shelves and drawers allow you to quickly make choices and bring order to your storage organization. Now you don't need to rummage through boxes looking for the right pair of socks.
Pull-out trouser
When you have a large collection of trousers in your wardrobe, it makes sense to purchase a retractable trouser rack for them, thanks to which things take up the minimum possible space in the closet. At the same time, they easily float right into your hands. Some trouser models are designed to automatically extend when the cabinet door is opened.
Retractable rod for tramples
End rods take up minimal space in the closet and allow you to compactly store shirts, suits, trousers, etc. To inspect things, just pull the bar towards you, and the closet will helpfully provide you with a wide selection of stored items.
Pull-out shelves for linen
A corner cabinet allows you to create deep shelves. However, this is not always convenient. Everything that ends up under the back wall on the shelves gets lost, forgotten and wastes space. There is an exit. Just make the shelves pull out. In this case, the overview of what is stored will increase significantly. You will always be aware of what is where. And at the same time, getting to the right thing will be easy and convenient, no matter where it is.
Laundry baskets
Knitwear does not like to be disturbed once again. Transparent containers and laundry baskets help extend the life of things. To make them convenient to use, order retractable models. In this case, any man will quickly navigate the depths of the closet and find the right thing without the help of his wife.
For vacuum cleaner
Vacuum cleaners are often stored in closets. All these hoses, tubes and nozzles strive to introduce an element of chaos into the ideal order that you have established. Therefore, for this cleaning assistant, set aside a separate place with hook holders for its parts. In this case, there will be order on every centimeter of your bedroom.
Shoe shelves
Typically, shoes are stored either at the bottom of the closet or in its drawers. However, this is not the only possible option. Take a closer look at how conveniently the pairs are located on store displays. Each one is visible. They take up very little space. Similar wire shelves can also be attached to the walls of the cabinet. And if there are a lot of shoes, but there is catastrophically little space, then you can resort to slider storage.
