One of the acute problems of apartment owners is the rational use of available space. Various trifles, so necessary in the household, need to be defined somewhere, while not violating the overall picture of the design. Some find a way out by installing wardrobes or “walls”. However, not every room by area will allow it to accommodate a large amount of furniture. Here corner shelves can come to the rescue of many. Their difference from ordinary wall ones is that they are placed in corners that are inconvenient for installing any kind of furniture in them.
Hinged shelves are suitable for storing souvenirs, books or photographs in the hall; additional utensils - in the kitchen; any accessories in the bathroom. It should be noted that the corner shelf for the bathroom will be a pretty good solution, since this room is usually small, and there are a lot of various cosmetics and other little things here, especially for women. Thanks to a variety of models, shelves can be used for various purposes, up to storage of linen.
In the hall or living room shelves can be used as stands for fresh flowers, for a beautiful additional frame of photographs, for storing books.
Most often, hinged corner shelves are affordable, and their design is the most diverse. Currently, there are also shelves with lighting, which will make it possible to add a touch of originality and charm to the interior. The use of such shelves in the bedroom, where they create a special romantic atmosphere, is especially successful.
The materials from which such shelves are made are very diverse, from wood to metal. Glass shelves fit very seamlessly into the design (especially in high-tech style). Do not think that they are fragile: at present, special technologies are used in production, thanks to which corner shelves are reliable and can withstand heavy weight. There are shelves made of plastic that look like glass, but cost much more.
In some cases, hinged shelves can be a separate design, and sometimes an additional element of a set, for example, a kitchen. Here, this piece of furniture can be simply indispensable, as many housewives know how many small things are stored in the kitchen, and how important it is that all things are kept in order and are always at hand. Sometimes shelves come immediately with a kitchen set, but you can choose them separately, similar in style and color combination. It is worth noting that a wide range of various shelves for various applications is currently presented.
You can choose a corner shelf that will successfully fit into the interior of the house among the finished products. However, you have to lay out a certain amount. If you couldn’t find the right one for your design or just want to save some money, you can make a shelf with your own hands - this will not be difficult if you have certain skills.
Quite a lot of information on the open spaces of the network on how to make a corner shelf yourself. Usually, plywood or plasterboard sheets are used for this, from which shelves of the required sizes are cut. The advantage of independent production of shelves also lies in the fact that you can make them according to your own sizes, and this is especially true for non-standard layout of rooms. Finished products can be decorated according to your desires and the overall design of the room.
All this suggests that corner shelves are an integral part of modern design. Their use will not only significantly save space, but will also be an original element of decor, able to please the owners and surprise guests at home.
