Hinged corner wardrobes

Swinging corner wardrobes are traditionally understood as something very large, and at the same time old-fashioned. However, this opinion is far from reality - now there are excellent options that literally amaze the imagination with the grace of forms and functional features.

These cabinets are differentiated by the number of doors installed - there can be one, two, three or even more. You can open them with handles or special mechanisms that respond to pressing.

In most cases, the housing contains:

• shelves;
• pull-out drawers;
• bar for hangers.

For the manufacture of cases and doors, both identical and dissimilar materials can be used. Manufacturers are trying to get around each other in the use of decorative blocks. Sometimes the door handles themselves become a design element, not to mention carved and gilded elements, mirror inserts. Furniture items equipped with lighting are widely used, polygonal, arched modifications and so on are also found.

The swing cabinet design is used almost more often than others, and the reasons for this are quite obvious. Even if there are not quite clean clothes inside, damaged and old things, this will not affect the feeling of being in the room in any way. In addition, the styling becomes very compact, and this does not affect the safety and usability in any way. Every home should have at least one wardrobe with swinging doors.

In this case, one should take into account not only the positive aspects, but also its objective weaknesses:

• In particular, no amount of beauty and elegance of the material allows you to ignore the fact that there is only one door in front and the hallway, for example, cannot be fully decorated.
• The dimensions of the product also only seem to be relatively modest, in fact, it takes up a lot of space. You can't put it in a narrow corridor, and if your clothes are soiled with dirt, wet from rain, from snow, you won't be able to hang them.
• Finally, be sure to add other furniture items.

A swing cabinet is not only single-door, but also with two doors; occasionally it is supplemented with a drawer compartment, mezzanines and mirrors. By choosing a couple at once, one of which has roll-out drawers, you lose the need to order a chest of drawers. A solid wood massif looks very expensive and solid, it works for many years, however, this option is heavy and costs a lot of money. Therefore, high-quality fiberboard, chipboard, MDF and veneered wood boards justify themselves and, with skillful use, serve for a very long time and efficiently.

Wardrobes used in hallways are usually made in the range of 1.8-2.4 m in height. But the width varies greatly: from 0.8 to 3 m.

It is influenced by:

• the width of the room;
• runout of doors;
• exit of boxes;
• the height of the product (so that it looks harmonious and proportional).

The L-shaped swing cabinet can be decorated in a variety of ways, including base / plinth attachments, paint, lacquer, frames and photo films. Its advantage is that the space in the room is used rationally, it is possible to put such a piece of furniture anywhere - in living rooms and in children's rooms, on balconies and even in offices.

It is quite advisable to store in it:

• bed linen and other bedding (in the bedroom);
• outerwear for cold and transitional months (when installed in the corridor);
• toys and constructors, other dimensional things (in children's rooms).

Of course, a competent consumer is obliged to immediately think about what exactly will be added to the closet, for how many shelves and drawers an order should be made, while taking into account both the working needs and the personal interests of family members.

Wardrobes made according to the swing system are most appropriate in such rooms. After all, they will allow you to store personal belongings of two or more people, will give high efficiency in the use of each square centimeter. The user is not limited in design and construction size. However, it is recommended that you still discuss your choice with experts in order to prevent certain mistakes.

There are no trifles in the interior, but in relation to the bedroom this is doubly true. Corner wardrobe can be both cabinet and built-in, and it is difficult to say which one is better - there are too many nuances to consider. So, it is easy to move body products not only to the opposite corner, but also to another room in general. Accordingly, furniture rearrangements and repairs are simplified.

The built-in versions are either completely stationary, or require significant costs for dismantling and transportation, in addition, not allowing to accurately observe the size of the occupied area. Despite this, there is also a significant advantage - custom-made. This means that corner wardrobes built into the walls of the room will ideally take into account all your wishes. Not to mention the fact that they consistently outperform cabinet furniture in terms of space used for storage.

The design can be very different, and the restrictions are related only to:

• available space;
• practical necessity;
• financial resources of customers.

Triangular cabinets are easy to make, which saves money. However, the increase in internal space, in turn, is "bought" at the expense of the spaciousness in the room. The radial or radial scheme is distinguished by smooth contours and helps to create a completely original product that is compatible with even very intricate interiors. Unfortunately, the fees for such modular designs are very high, and they are not available to all consumers.

Tonality is also important. So, in small rooms, light furniture, similar to finishing materials in scale, is much better than dark tones. It helps to reduce excessive visual pressure. If your bedroom is spacious, the range of acceptable stylistic solutions is much wider and even includes tones that emphasize the piece of furniture.

For a cabinet whose parts are connected at an angle of 90 degrees (L-shaped) and for any other, facades are of great importance. In terms of price and quality, the best ratio is demonstrated by MDF and fiberboard, covered with a plastic layer, polyvinyl chloride or veneer.

As for the doors, swing doors are convenient and familiar to most people, but keep in mind that a lot of free space will need to be allocated in front of the closet, which cannot be used otherwise. But, in comparison with the sliding format, there are much more compatible design styles. Drawers equipped with door closers lock smoothly and do not roll out by themselves.

If necessary, experts will always give any explanations about the characteristics of the products sold and about the appropriateness of their use in your interior.If you have any doubts, first consult with the designers, and then make the final decision.
