Corner cabinets of the "coupe" type are often installed in the living room and bedroom, as this piece of furniture looks much more beautiful than classic chests of drawers. In addition, this design allows you to achieve a visual increase in space and use the space as rationally as possible. When choosing a cabinet, you need to take into account the design features of the product and the dimensions of the room.
Corner wardrobes in the bedroom: catalog and features
A special catalog will help you select suitable cabinet samples and get acquainted with their characteristics. Also, the catalog should indicate the dimensions of the structure and the configuration of the facade.
There are 4 forms of corner cabinet:
- Triangular. Cabinets with such a facade configuration are most often used, since such a design has small dimensions.
- Trapezoidal. Wardrobes of this configuration are an excellent alternative to triangular ones, and are also mainly used in the design of small bedrooms.
- Radius. On such cabinets, the doors are somewhat curved. Radius structures are used if the room is large.
- L-shaped. Designs of this configuration are the least common.
Also, corner cabinets of the "compartment" type are built-in and cabinet. The first are used more often, as they take up little space and are somewhat cheaper. Cabinet corner cabinets are more durable, however, they take up a large amount of space.
How is the corner wardrobe in the bedroom trimmed inside
From the inside, the corner cabinet is finished with fittings and partitions. The whole structure is divided into several sections. Usually the number of sections and doors is the same, however, there are exceptions. For example, if the cabinet has a broken or curvilinear configuration, then the number of sections may be slightly larger.
Inside the cabinet are:
- Rods. They hang outerwear and pants. On average, the length of the rod is 100-150 centimeters.
- Open shelves. They are designed to store underwear.
- Drawers for small household appliances or underwear.
- Hangers for outerwear.
- Baskets for shoes.
- Shelves with dividers. Twisted belts or jewelry are stored on such shelves.
The filling of the cabinet is largely determined by the depth of the structure. The depth of a standard corner cabinet is 60 centimeters, however, there are models with a depth of more than 75 centimeters. They have more fittings.
How to choose a small corner wardrobe in the bedroom
A small corner cabinet is not easy to choose. You need to take into account a number of nuances. First of all, you need to measure the dimensions of the wall and the angle between adjacent walls. Based on the data received, you must choose the appropriate configuration. If the walls are crooked, then you can align them or order a cabinet with a “broken” configuration.
Also, when choosing a small cabinet, you need to consider such nuances:
- Choose models that have built-in mirrors. Such designs will perfectly fit into any design, and will help to achieve a visual increase in the room.
- With limited space, it is better to use models in which the depth is less than 60 centimeters. However, the disadvantage of such corner cabinets is the lack of hangers for outerwear and drawers.
- If possible, it is better to purchase a corner cabinet-transformer. Beds, ironing boards and special niches for storing small household appliances are built into such structures.
- Don't neglect lighting. Properly selected lighting fixtures will help visually enlarge the bedroom.
- Give preference to products designed in light colors. If the size of the cabinet is small, then bright colors will look catchy and tasteless.
A small triangular wardrobe will look most harmonious in a small bedroom. To decorate a small room, it is highly undesirable to use products of a radius or trapezoidal configuration.

- Then connect the cabinet components to each other using self-tapping screws.

Dimensions for the corner wardrobe in the bedroom
There is no single standard that regulates the dimensions of corner cabinets. Typically, the design is made to order, while taking into account the dimensions of the room and the configuration of the walls.
The catalog is regulated by 3 sizes:
- Height. It can vary from 180 to 250 centimeters. Everything will depend on the height of the room, the number of sections and the configuration of a particular product.
- Depth. Typically, the depth of standard products is 70 centimeters, however, cabinets are often made recently, the depth of which is 50-60 centimeters.
- Width. Each side of the corner cabinet of the "coupe" type is no more than 240 centimeters, and not less than 70 centimeters.
The dimensions of the structure are largely determined by the configuration of the cabinet. For example, triangular products have a lower height than radial, trapezoidal or L-shaped ones.
