There are many types of corner cabinets. They vary in installation option, design, shape, size, material. According to the installation method, they are divided into two types - built-in and case-mounted. The former are built directly into the wall of the room, and the latter are freestanding.

The form is divided into five categories:

• triangular - the simplest, cheapest form. This is due to the ease of manufacture of such a design. Despite this, there is a lot of space inside, a large number of things will fit. Of the minuses, it can be noted that they occupy a lot of space, so they will not work for small rooms;
• quadrangular, or trapezoidal, are characterized by high capacity and versatility.Cabinets of this shape are very easy to combine with other pieces of furniture, additional storage systems;
• pentagonal - the most popular option, because it holds a lot of things, compact, it is convenient to use;
• Radial feature a curved face with smooth lines. This allows you to easily fit such a model into a room with any style, it looks neat and original. Radius facade is much harder to produce than coal, so the cost of the finished product will be much higher;

The option of opening doors plays an important role in such designs along with dimensions, colors and materials. They can be divided into two main categories: swing and sliding:

• swing doors are known to everyone since ancient times. They differ in the simplest designs, reliability, ease of operation and maintenance. They will look great in almost any interior, regardless of style. The only significant drawback of such doors is the need for additional free space, they open inside the room;
• sliding doors, or sliding wardrobes, are designed by the type of opening doors in compartment wagons, hence the name. The main advantage in favor of such structures is the saving of free space, as the doors open along the facade. Such furniture can easily be placed in a small room. Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting the limited choice of the stylistic design of the room, because a sliding wardrobe looks better with a modern interior, and is not suitable for classics. In addition, the selection of all components is important. It is necessary to choose only high-quality ones, so that door opening always happens without hindrance. Saving on fittings and fasteners is not recommended.
