For example, on the shelves of a corner wardrobe installed in the living room, you can put video and audio equipment, and the corner kitchen allows the hostess to create the perfect triangle of working space: a refrigerator-stove-working surface. For children's rooms, manufacturers offer transforming furniture, which is used for its intended purpose during the day, and in the evening it can be transformed into a bed.
In addition, it should be noted that currently there are many design solutions, including exclusive ones, which will help to give the room individuality and originality.
In the domestic market, corner wardrobes appeared relatively recently, but quickly gained popularity among the population and firmly occupied their niche in the furniture segment of the market. By type, cabinets are built-in, cabinet and modular.
The built-in wardrobe is installed in one specific place and cannot be rearranged.
In the first case, wardrobes are installed in existing niches, and are mounted on special holders, so in such structures there may be no side, upper or lower walls. Differ in bigger capacity, in comparison with case.
Cabinet cabinets are mobile, but their choice is limited to existing models in furniture stores.
Cabinet wardrobe has a body and can be used as a separate piece of furniture or as a link between two rectangular cabinets. The advantage of the design is its mobility, i.e. if necessary, the cabinet can be moved or transported to another apartment.
Modular designs are multifunctional, but are notable for high cost.
By types of corner cabinets are classified as follows.

One of the most important tasks when choosing a corner cabinet is the choice of the material from which the furniture is made. Today, manufacturers use a wide variety of materials, but the consumer, in most cases, is looking for practical and affordable furniture for their homes.
Natural wood is rarely used due to large labor costs and the duration of the production process, which has a direct impact on the cost of such furniture. In order to make large-sized shields from a solid array, it is necessary to carefully select wood. Also, the material requires special processing and preparation. The result is beautiful and representative furniture, but its value, to put it mildly, does not always correspond to its operational properties.
The price of furniture made of natural wood is very high, so it is used only in the manufacture of exclusive expensive cabinets
Therefore, the most popular cabinets of cheaper materials - fiberboard or MDF.
Chipboard (chipboard) is a plate of pressed chips made by hot pressing. Phenol-formaldehyde resins act as a binder, so before buying it is important to ask what class the material belongs to. Class E0 or E1 indicate low formaldehyde content in plates, safe for health.
Chipboard is the most popular material due to its low cost.
Chipboard plates are made in various thicknesses, but this has no effect on the functional properties. Here the final decision remains for the buyer. The main advantages include:
MDF plates (fine fraction) are made by dry pressing of small sawdust under the influence of high temperature and pressure. Here paraffin acts as a link, therefore such plates are considered to be more environmentally friendly. MDF is the most popular material from which not only wardrobes are produced, but also other furniture, as well as interior doors.
In the manufacture of MDF do not apply phenol-formaldehyde resins, therefore, this material does not emit harmful substances
Distinctive features of the material are:
A characteristic feature of corner wardrobes are sliding doors, the choice of which must be approached with particular care. The appearance of the door should be selected based on the design features of the room. So, mirrored doors visually expand the space of the room, and frosted colored glass or plastic emphasize the overall color scheme of the room design.
Sliding doors save space as they open along the front
Corner wardrobe is equipped with a suspension or rail sliding system. In the first case, the doors are attached to the guide, bolted at the top. When choosing such a system, the savings are completely irrelevant, since with the purchase of a cheap sliding mechanism, the guide can bend over time.
The advantage of the suspension system is the possibility of mounting the rollers to the doors of any material. Also, the system provides silent movement, provides for fixing the doors in extreme positions and a wide range of adjustment.
When the rail mechanism of opening, the doors move along the lower guide (monorail), which accounts for the main load. The cost of such a system is higher, but the price is justified by a higher degree of reliability. However, it must be remembered that the rails require periodic maintenance, otherwise the grooves may become clogged with dust and dirt, which will lead to incorrect operation of the door.
In addition, you should pay attention to the profiles on which the movement of the door. They can be aluminum or steel. Despite the fact that the first are more expensive, they are less durable than the second. Rollers of the suspension system also deserve special attention. They must be made either of plastic with a Teflon coating or metal. If the manufacturer offers wheels made of pure plastic, then it would be more expedient to refuse to purchase, as statistics show that these rollers will last no more than a year.

The main points that are worth paying attention to include:
This is not a complete list. Each comes from personal considerations and has its own vision of the placement and operation of corner furniture. When choosing a design, a closet is a good option. Sliding doors increase the living space of the living room, allowing you to position any interior item (bedside table or lamp) in the immediate vicinity of the cabinet without restricting access, which is not the case with wardrobes with hinged doors.
When choosing the color of the corner cabinet, you need to focus on the existing furniture elements
