The decision to install a corner cabinet in the nursery can definitely be classified as the best, especially if there is a need to save space indoors. This is also a good stylistic preference, since the variability of angular structures is quite large, and you can always choose the model that most successfully fits into the interior.

Features and purpose

When purchasing corner furniture for a children's room, it is necessary to take into account a number of parameters:

• compliance with the growth of the child (he should easily reach all the shelves, that is, the products should be relatively small in height);
• quality and operation system of opening, closing mechanisms (there should be no difficulties when opening cabinets with drawers);
• the location of the sliding modules (they should be in the lower part of the structure, and the crossbar should be on top of the cabinets);
• degree of safety (how stable children's furniture is, whether it has sharp corners, protrusions, how securely the shelves are fixed);
• what material the product is made of (best if it is an array of wood, chipboard or MDF);
• type of finish (it is worth abandoning glasses and mirrors, use rattan, bamboo inserts, as well as elements from laminate, artificial leather instead).

If corner furniture for children is made to order, then the manufacturer takes into account the following indicators:

• child's height;
• the interior design of the room, its size;
• the number of function blocks included in the design.

If necessary, the children's wardrobe can be equipped with a backlight, as well as some additional elements, accessories. In corner cabinets with drawers, various sections you can store:

• books
• clothes
• sports equipment, uniform;
• footwear;
• musical instruments;
• accessories for drawing, modeling.

For each type of children's things, you can select a separate block. All possible ways of operating such furniture are limited only by the imagination of the child and his parents.

Varieties

Finding in every sense a suitable small cupboard in a nursery for a boy or girl is not an easy task. Moreover, there are a significant number of its varieties. In accordance with the price, such furniture is divided into cabinets of the category:

• Suite
• prestige;
• elegant;
• economy

There are also several classes of cabinets that differ in design. They can be attached to a children's wall or bed, wardrobe. The model itself may be built-in.

With wall

The main advantage of the corner wall of the cabinet is its multifunctionality.Often choosing such models, buyers do not purchase a monolithic design, but a complex of modules with a wall, boxes designed for toys, clothes and other things. They can be combined, arranged in the way the children's and parent's imagination tells.

This kit may include:

• pencil cases;
• work tables;
• computer tables;
• corner cabinets;
• shelves;
• thumbs

Caught in the grip of the first impression, it can be decided that such designs look overly bulky. However, after some time it becomes obvious that the interior of the nursery becomes more orderly.

It is also desirable that the furniture was not only functional, but also durable. Therefore, you should opt for models made of the most durable materials. It is possible that children's cabinets and walls with boxes for toys and clothes will be supplemented with special steps, using which the child will be able to reach the desired shelf or cabinet.

With a bed

This option is especially attractive for children. If the bed is combined with a corner cupboard, then for a while it is located below, and in the morning it can be put into a specially equipped section, freeing up space for games and other interesting activities.

There is another option - an attic bed, which is mounted on lockers. This design is equipped with special ladders (side sloping, or standing vertically straight), along which the child will be happy to climb to his bed. Along the way, this will contribute to the development of the coordination abilities of the baby, his strength and dexterity.

It is optimal if such a children's wall is made of oak, birch and ash. But on structures made of pine and alder, scratches and dents will soon appear. We must not forget about the quality of the varnish coating. It must be absolutely non-toxic. The same applies to products made of particleboard and MDF - they should not exude formaldehydes.

Such designs differ in the following characteristics:

• comfortable operation;
• the presence of different-sized shelves (from large to tiny, on which only one photograph can fit);
• spaciousness;
• the presence of swing doors.

Additional lockers with drawers under the bed are possible. This allows you to add a design of useful internal volume. In some cases, the bed is located between the corner and ordinary cabinets. In this case, the second cabinet is made open and it contains book sections, albums, notebooks and other stationery trifles, and the first place large items.

In addition to the already mentioned, there are several types of corner cabinets with beds:

• a bunk bed (if the nursery is designed for two children);
• U-shaped models (the design is similar to the previous one, but without one bed, usually the berth is located above the worker and you need to climb onto it with the help of a ladder);
• product with a bed module, which, if necessary, is tucked away under the cabinet.

These options are just a few of the huge list of possible. Therefore, parents will find what to choose for their children.

Closet

For those who urgently need to get rid of the trash deposits in the children's room, a closet is suitable. Being very compact and roomy, it is distinguished by its original shape and color, complementing and revitalizing the interior space of the room. Its outer border can have both triangular and round (convex, concave, combined) outlines. A round corner design is usually offered to be installed in rooms for girls.

Models of the combined type contribute to the visual curvature of the space, so that the usual room acquires a mysterious atmosphere.

Built in

By a built-in wardrobe you need to understand the compartment structure that is mounted on the wall. Such models have neither a top element, nor side walls.This is convenient and allows you to save on materials, or rather, on their quantity.

A sliding wardrobe can be integrated almost anywhere - this is one of its main advantages. With its help, communication elements that do not fit into the interior are hidden: columns and beams and so on. This is all possible thanks to the sliding doors.

However, there is a negative point associated with the impossibility of opening several sections at once - unusual doors allow you to get one-time access to only one of them. Children are also not always comfortable with sliding mechanisms.

For not very roomy rooms, trapezoidal models are not suitable, it is better to opt for L-shaped structures. They are both compact and comfortable for the child.

Forms

Corner cabinets can have a different shape:

• triangular - such a children's wall (usually with just one drawer) is a single facade located along the cabinet. It can have a completely different number of spacious compartments;
• g-shaped - compact option. Most often he is placed in a small room. Usually includes 2 separate parts, connected to each other at the junction of two walls and having separate facades;
• radial - such models can have convex (create more space inside the cabinet), concave (more compact outwardly option) or even “broken” casements. It is selected based on the needs and tastes of the child. Such a closet will fit especially well in a nursery for a girl;
• combined - implies a combination of swing and sliding sashes, which creates a rather interesting impression;
• trapezoidal - they cover a larger area than structures having a triangular shape. They have no sharp corners. The cabinet has three clearly distinguishable segments - the central and two side ones. This saves space inside the room;
• five-walled - this version of the corner cabinet is both the most cumbersome and most functional in terms of internal space. It has a characteristic protruding corner part. Only suitable for spacious rooms.

If we talk about the sizes of the selected models, then they can be completely different, because they depend on a huge number of factors, including the size of the child, the personal wishes of the children and their parents.

Materials of manufacture

Depending on what material the corner cabinet was made of, its price is determined:

• Particleboard and MDF - used as part of mass production and is a budget option. This material is usually coated with veneers made from different species of natural wood. This gives the facades of the cabinets simplicity, conciseness. Such a coating is characterized as environmentally friendly and safe, which means it is quite suitable for children;
• Chipboard (laminated particle boards) - initially have a very decorative look. They are environmentally friendly, easy to handle and care (not afraid of moisture). Their light-reflecting surface contributes to the visual expansion of space. There are also no restrictions in terms of color solutions (the possibility of applying 3D images is also possible);
• an array of natural wood (oak, beech, pine) - will cost much more than the standard option. Such furniture is most often made to order and comes complete with other furnishings. To decorate it, art carving can be used;
• plastic - an original and unusual version of the material from which a children's corner cupboard can be made. Sliding wardrobes made in this way can create an imitation of wood or metal with their appearance, making the atmosphere of the bedroom very unusual.

Colors and decoration

The angular design usually has quite impressive dimensions, so it should fully harmonize with the interior design of the room.Children's wardrobes for girls, painted in bright colors, you can furnish a room of a similar shade. In addition, furniture of such colors will be relevant for a small room.

A simple technique using light colors allows you to make even bulky design easy and concise. Surely such a closet will be appropriate in the walls of the kindergarten, where additional space is required for each young child. Clothes and other accessories of children, laid out in cabinets, drawers, sections will not be an eyesore, but will leave only a spacious room, suitable for games, classes.

In spacious rooms, the shape, size, color attached to the corner cabinet will depend entirely on the wishes of the buyer. For example, it becomes possible to install a compact radius (round) wardrobe in the kindergarten. An interesting effect can be achieved if you try to combine inserts from various materials (wood, metal, plastic, tempered glass) on the surface of the facade.

Fittings should be used hidden. It will allow you to form a compartment in the nursery with smooth facades, typical of a minimalist design option. It should be remembered that the design option used should be in harmony with the selected color scheme. It is not necessary that corner cabinets for boys or girls must merge with the walls. It is possible that the design will have a contrasting color, but this contrast should also be displayed in other elements of the interior.

Requirements for Children's Furniture

The requirements for children's furniture are much more stringent than those for standard furniture products. This applies to the following points:

• material - the quality of the material from which the children's wall is made, as well as the boxes included in its design, must be confirmed by all established certificates;
• safety - small elements or sharp corners can cause various injuries. Therefore, the children's wall with drawers should be designed so that such a probability of a sad outcome is minimized;
• provision of zoning - even a small room with well-chosen furniture can be divided into several functional zones: sports, games, training;
• lighting - lighting fixtures can also be used as tags for separating different areas. But the main function of the fixtures on the cabinets is to ensure a sufficient level of illumination. In some cases, fixtures can be installed on cabinets, and photo elements can be mounted in the product’s case.

If you spend enough time on cabinets, drawers, selecting the design of a future product, evaluating its functionality and “endurance,” then you won’t have to regret such an acquisition.
