Corner Bookcases

Corner bookcases contain a lot of books, magazines and other printed materials, which will please reading lovers. Also, such a closet often serves as one of the main decorative elements of the living room, bedroom or office due to its unusual design. This element of the interior can also be used for decorative purposes, if you add stylish accessories to its shelves.

Anyone who reads dreams of a large, roomy and beautiful place to store books that would be able to accommodate his home library. At the same time, of course, in the conditions of modern small-sized apartments, where the majority of the population lives, it is not possible to allocate a separate room as a library.

Therefore, a corner bookcase can become an excellent alternative to this solution; due to a more ergonomic use of room space, it can accommodate many volumes on its shelves.

Bookcase is not a necessity. Because of this, future owners want to choose a refined functional model that will become the central element of the interior. This piece of furniture is an indicator of the status of the owners: both high material wealth and intellectual wealth.

Currently, the furniture market has a wide selection of corner bookcases of various designs. Their monotony is only imaginary, because there is a huge number of different directions in the interior, and each can choose the appropriate model.

First of all, cabinets vary by the number of shelves. This is the most important indicator for people buying a bookcase. You can find both light unobtrusive options, consisting of three shelves, which, rather, play a decorative function, and these giants.

I must say that large cabinets, which are designed to replace home libraries, often have side or central cases for decorative gizmos. They often put expensive china on coasters, bronze figurines or miniature vases. Although nowadays this is considered a somewhat outdated design move, in some types of interior it can be quite justified.

In addition, an important indicator is cabinet depth. From that, you can put the books in one row, two or three, the capacity of this piece of furniture varies significantly. A narrow, but deep closet can hold as many volumes on its shelves as a rack that stretches over two walls, where books stand in one row.

If there is a desire to demonstrate a certain literature, then an open shallow cabinet will also have an advantage. In libraries of wealthy people and members of the elite, it can often be noted that all books are made by one publisher and in the same style. Low-key plain-colored covers look luxurious in book shelves.

Doorless cabinets have, as a rule, a very simple discreet design, which is ideally suited to the interior of a modern apartment. For obvious reasons, such cabinets are also often located in the nursery, since glass doors easily break during games. In such cases, sometimes along with books, toys are removed. You can select a shelf or box specifically for this. In addition, if the cabinet is equipped with drawers, you can keep supplies for creativity and writing.

Doors at the corner bookcases can have any number. Most often there are two-door or tricuspid models. These are medium-sized cabinets in which, however, you can put all the books in the house. Above the doors there is often a decorative rosette. Outstanding designs and carving makes such cabinets a real home decoration.

Cabinets options vary by the type of door:

• There are cabinets with deaf or glass doors.Few who choose closed versions of bookcases, at least for the home. These models are appropriate, rather, in an office or other official institution, to hide some books and folders from prying eyes.At home, deaf wood will be depressing, so most people buy cabinets with glass. In addition, transparent doors make it possible to boast luxurious tomes or decorative trifles.

• Modular cabinets These are block pieces of furniture that are easy to assemble and disassemble, as well as modify to your own taste. Their distinctive quality is multifunctional. Often, furniture is capable of performing functions of several items at once, which makes it a convenient and economical model. These options are often recommended to parents, especially those with many children.

• Corner bookcases often suggest availability of workplaceFor example, a computer desk. In this case, the shelves can frame it. This option is very convenient when working and studying, because to reach the desired book, you do not even have to get up from your seat.

• There are also sliding modelswhen the working surface is hidden in a special niche. The writing console is strong enough, you can easily write or put a laptop on it.So that over time the fastenings are not loosened and the comfort of using such a model was the same, it is necessary to handle it carefully and avoid sudden movements.
• Closet has sliding doors, like a wardrobe. This is also a very convenient and practical model.
• Combination of open and closed areas in one model of this piece of furniture is a very good solution. Cabinets with a closed lower part with drawers or shelves look more elegant and classic. The upper part takes on a lightweight look. This technique visually makes the ceilings in the room above, which is suitable for city apartments.

It is believed that a truly high-quality furniture should be made of solid wood. This material is of the highest quality, durability and strength, as well as environmental friendliness.

However, for use in everyday life, you can also choose models of corner bookcases from high-quality chipboard or plywood. They are not inferior to wooden options in beauty, but are more affordable. In addition, these models are more transportable because they weigh less.

Very often manufacturers combine several materials in one product, using,for example, wood for exterior beautiful details, and making the back wall of plywood.

When choosing a bookcase for yourself, you need to make sure that it harmonizes in color and material with the rest of the objects in the room. Often a bookcase is part of the furniture line and a headset, so it makes sense to look for models from manufacturers whose furniture is already at home. Furniture from one factory is always combined better.

On the other hand, it is optional if eclecticism reigns in the room. Sometimes what is missing in a room is an element of antiquity with its own character and history. Corner bookcases of past years can be found at flea markets and in antique stores.

Choosing a bookcase, it is worth proceeding from the size of the room. If it is a small bedroom or study, you can choose a deep model so that it does not clutter up the space. And in the living room you can place a closet the thickness of one book, which, as a showcase, will go around the room.

In children's rooms, it is better to avoid glass doors, if children are not lovers of quiet games.

Corner bookcases often have a clearly defined tree structure, whose color may be light, such as oak, or tea-like, like a cherry tree.

Plastic or metal corner cabinets are quite rare and are almost never bought for home use. If the palette of these purely functional models and there is a palette of shades, then they have non-mark basic colors.

The wave-shaped bookcase combines shades of coffee and white chocolate. This is an unusually functional model. First of all, because of the combination of open and closed areas, which allow you to store not only books, but also other things.

The cabinet has a modular design and is equipped with space for a computer desk. Since it is a fairly large piece of furniture, it is an excellent solution in terms of ergonomics.

Black furniture is regarded by many as risky and shocking. Also, many think that she looks too gloomy, but that is a rather narrow-minded look.

In a study or a reception desk, a black lacquered bookcase will look really impressive. He will demonstrate the refined taste of the owner and his status.

A very cozy piece of furniture that can be placed in the living room. The drawers in the lower zone and the side case make the wardrobe not only beautiful, but also convenient.
