Small corner cabinets
Over time, any person accumulates a large number of things, and in most apartments there is no way to store and store them. The lack of free square meters makes you purchase small-sized and roomy cabinet furniture. Small corner cabinets, matched to the overall interior of the room, are considered a good option.
What it is?
In every family, the question arises where to find a place to store personal belongings. Small apartments do not allow the installation of large cabinet furniture, in this case a small cabinet located in the corner of the room will be the best solution.
Everyone wants to use the free space completely so as not to clutter up an already small apartment. Most of the corners in the house are not used and are left free.
A spacious corner cabinet allows you to keep free space along the walls and make the most of the corners of the rooms.
Advantages and disadvantages
It is better to store things that are not always in demand in small cabinet furniture, which is located in the free corners of any of the rooms or hallway. Corner cabinets have many advantages over other furniture:
- Beautiful design. A small wardrobe most often belongs to a large group of cabinet furniture, so the executed design solution fits into any modern interior.
- Compact design. The doors are hinged and perfectly save free space along the walls and near the cabinet.

- A functional L-shaped cabinet visually corrects the space of the room. The room in which the mini-wardrobe is located looks larger and more spacious.
Like any product, the corner cabinet has minor drawbacks:
- The height of the cabinet, since some compartments are located at a great distance from the floor, therefore they are considered difficult for a person to access. In such mezzanines, things are stored that are used in certain seasons.
- In a small hallway, it is inconvenient to open doors. They block the passage. A compartment system is more suitable for such a room.
- A corner cabinet made of low-quality material quickly loses its original appearance.
Models
Depending on the manufacturing method, corner small cabinets differ:
- Corner cabinet furniture. Manufacturers offer a ready-made design in standard sizes or custom-made for specific sizes and designs. The cabinet has a bottom and top surface, as well as side walls. Manufacturers manufacture the structure, and its assembly is carried out directly at the installation site. Cabinet furniture is mobile and can be easily rearranged from one place to another as needed.
- Built-in corner furniture quite roomy in comparison with hull structures. If the cabinet is correctly installed in the room, then the architectural niche will be filled, which corrects the entire complex geometric shape of the room. In such a cabinet there are no walls, which significantly reduces the cost of built-in corner furniture. The doors are beautifully decorated, which creates a beautiful and original interior. Built-in furniture cannot be rearranged, it is not easy to dismantle it. It is made and used only in a specific place for which it is made.
These cabinets need to be ventilated periodically to prevent stale, unpleasant odors.
- Monolithic device in a corner takes up space from floor to ceiling. Such models are made according to individual orders and with specific dimensions. Such wardrobes are most often intended for clothes in small rooms.
There is an opportunity to install universal cabinets at your discretion, while original compositions are obtained. In the interior of a small room, asymmetric wardrobes with mirrors look beautiful. The structure has mezzanines, which are placed on the floor or hung on the wall. The space is completely transformed and adds newness to the entire room.
Interior use
A corner wardrobe installed in the bedroom saves space as much as possible and accommodates a large number of things: clothes, accessories, bath accessories and bed linen. For a small room, a built-in wardrobe is suitable, which is installed in the gap between two walls. A good option would be to install a small triangular cabinet in the rest and sleep room, which takes up the minimum free space. It is better to select doors with a large mirror.
An excellent option for a small hallway is a corner wardrobe with sliding doors. This cabinet furniture makes it possible to keep clothes and shoes of the whole family in order. A façade with a mirror increases the space.

Materials (edit)
For the production of corner cabinets, high-quality materials are used, on which the reliability of the structure and the duration of operation depend. In the production of classic standard models, the following are used:
- Wood-fiber board with veneer covering from different types of wood. The doors look classic and not rich. To date, we have developed a modern coating that is environmentally friendly and does not emit harmful substances into the air.
- Laminated particle board has good qualities for interior decoration. The material does not require additional maintenance, it perfectly resists strong mechanical stress. The outer surface is covered with gloss, which has increased strength and wear resistance characteristics.
- Natural wood looks expensive. The structures are decorated with hand carvings and other decorative elements. Such expensive and beautiful furniture will decorate any interior.
- Plastic is not so common, however, it allows you to create original models that will decorate the hallway and children's room.
Manufacturers pay great attention to door decoration. The most popular are transparent or mirrored surfaces. A beautiful and original pattern can be applied to such a facade: a composition of flowers, strict geometric shapes or lines, floral ornament.
The stained-glass decoration looks peculiar and unusual: colorful pieces of glass form beautiful highlights, creating a festive atmosphere and a wonderful mood for the whole day.
Internal filling
Before choosing a small corner structure, first of all, you should pay attention to the internal filling.The storage system should be equipped rationally so that it is convenient when using furniture and storing things.
The classic designs include wide shelves, a hanger bar for clothes, pull-out drawers for various little things and small boxes. If the wardrobe is made to order, then at the request of the customer, the standard design is supplemented with compartments for jewelry, cosmetics and other things.
Manufacturers offer many and little-functional models. Small cabinets are triangular in shape. The triangle-shaped shelves do not hold large items such as bedding or towels. A cabinet of any shape has several storage areas:
- Rack for clothes to be hung on a hanger. In some cases, manufacturers install two racks at different heights.
- Bottom shoe racks, with supports or grates of different sizes.
- Shelves for textiles or any other knitwear that takes up a lot of space when rolled up.
- Drawers and boxes for storing underwear and other things that need to be hidden from prying eyes.
- Upper mezzanines for storing seasonal items and those that are not always required.
The shelves inside the cabinet are made of the same material as the structure itself. To reduce the weight of the structure, boxes and shelves are made of plastic.
How to choose?
When choosing a small cabinet in the corner of a room, there are many nuances to consider. Each model must have the required dimensions. It should not be too large and bulky, so as not to force the free space of the room.
The design of cabinet furniture should support the overall style of the room. As a rule, corner structures are not suitable for a studio apartment.
The facade should be light shades to make the room look more spacious. In some cases, choosing bright colors to contrast with walls and ceilings makes a boring interior fresher and more original.
