A corner shelving unit is one of the most popular modules for furnishing the interior of any room. This is not surprising, because these products are functional and practical. Also, such a piece of furniture can fit into any room and stylistic design, regardless of the configuration. The more niches and various designs there are in the room, the more successful a solution is a corner shelving unit where you can place various things.
A corner shelving unit can be placed in any style of room with arches, niches and other complex architectural shapes. Compact wall-mounted modules usually do not take up much space in a home, office or workspace, but they perfectly fulfill their main task: they can properly place and store decor, books, hats, flowers and much more. It is great that there is no problem with cluttering up the place, because there is a lot of free space. This is always the best choice.
Characteristics of a corner shelf
For a small room, you can buy a narrow, tall version that creates a “transparency” effect. Models with glass inserts look especially lightweight. Since the material is processed by hardening, the shelves made of it are reliable and durable, they can withstand a decent load.
Also, open shelves made of natural wood or such a consumable material as chipboard look elegant. Closed shelves make the module heavy, but increase its practicality and functionality many times over.
The design of the shelves varies, the customer chooses it to match the finished interior and the functional purpose of the module itself. Low models look great in spacious rooms, and their upper part is often used as a mini-tabletop when a vase of fruit or flowers is placed on the surface.
A small, low shelving unit (just like a pencil case) can be placed on the balcony. This will be appreciated by any frugal housewife who appreciates order in everything, but at the same time stores a large number of different things.
To be able to neatly place all sorts of little things, choose a model with a door that looks solid and laconic.
What should I look for when choosing a corner shelving unit?
An open storage system can be used in any room, because such furnishings are characterized by versatility and laconic design. Corner designs are very popular, making it possible to use all the useful space in the room. They do not clutter up the room with their overall dimensions. Such products meet many customer requirements. But how to make the right choice for the bedroom?
When choosing a shelving unit for this room from the Ukrainian manufacturer Willstore, you need to understand what it is for. Most often, small shelves are installed in bedrooms, where things pleasing to the eye are placed: cosmetics, books, souvenirs, vases, flowers and photographs. It is not recommended to store bed linen and clothes here, only beautiful blankets, aesthetically folded at the bottom of the structure.
- Corner shelving for the bedroom takes up almost no space. You can choose a small corner rack with semicircular open shelves. The product can also consist of two parts (two narrow shelves attached to each other at right angles). Thanks to this solution, you can “decorate” the corner and emphasize it. This technique is often used if there are irregularities in the corner, or if the paint or wallpaper is ugly.
- The “slide” is suitable for a spacious bedroom or studio apartment, where it is necessary to separate the bedroom from the living room. Such furniture is attached to the wall, dividing the room across. The opposite wall has a space for passage. Thanks to this design, there is a lot of light and air in the room. But such a shelf can only hold a few souvenirs, a pencil, a few vases and books.
- If there is a niche in the bedroom, you can make a shelving unit in it. To do this, custom-made shelves are made to order, corresponding to the size of the recess. Incense sticks and candles can be placed on the shelves.
- If you like everything unusual, pay attention to the rotating shelf. You can place various things on the “cylinder”. It fits perfectly into the corner, but it needs space to rotate.
- The most environmentally friendly material of the product is solid natural wood. However, these shelves are too heavy and expensive.
- A versatile option is structures made of chipboard or MDF. They are lightweight, easy to maintain, and inexpensive. MDF models are more environmentally friendly because they do not emit chemical compounds into the air.
- A glass shelving unit with metal supports looks great. Often it is aluminum and steel pipes complemented by glass shelves. Such a shelf is suitable for modern and high-tech styles. But you can’t put anything heavy on this design.
- Plastic options are the most budget-friendly and look good.
- Any modern minimalist style is perfectly complemented by a glass and metal shelving unit. The same goes for MDF shelves and plastic structures.
