Corner cabinet in the kitchen - it all starts with her

What is it used for

Initially, it is required to determine what the kitchen corner cabinet is needed for, for what purposes it will be used.

There are few options:

  The maximum that can be placed there is a trash bin, which can be located either on the module door or on sliding rails.

• Wardrobe with drawer mechanism. This option is quite expensive, the entire system can cost the owner an additional several thousand rubles.
  You can, of course, not be smart and just install a rigid shelf in the cabinet and put all the kitchen utensils on it, but getting all this belongings is problematic. The photo shows the functional solution.

Instead of drawers, you have shelves that slide out automatically after you open the door

Note!
The price of a Chinese product will be significantly lower, but the long service life of the mechanism cannot be guaranteed.

• In some cases, a hob is installed in a corner cabinet.. More precisely, the surface is set in kitchen countertop, and in the module, as in the version with a sink, a trash can can be located.
  Even less often they manage to shove an oven in there, but this option requires a lot of space, it is not suitable for small kitchens.

Note!
It also all depends on what shape you are planning a corner cabinet.

Module options

We turn directly to the question, what should be the size of a corner kitchen cabinet, how should it be located, what are the features of different models?

Corner pedestal 900x900 mm

The design of such a cabinet is ideal for those cases when a sink or hob will be located in the corner. The roominess of the cabinet is acceptable, the stability is high.

It can be of two types:

• The outer side walls are 520 mm, the inner walls are 450 mm, the bottom of the module is hexagonal. Such a frame does not have a back wall to make it easier to carry out communications. There is no shelf in it.

• The outer side walls are 520 mm, the inner walls are 838 and 854 mm, the bottom is pentagonal. The module turns out to be much larger and more functional, but on the other hand it is required to make a cutout for the pipeline.

Kitchen facade on such products, one swing is installed. The assembly of the pull-out basket or waste bin is not permitted.

Note!
If the dimensions of the corner kitchen cabinet are not 900x900 mm, but 1000x1000x mm, nothing really changes, only the depth of the inner walls increases the capacity.

Cabinet 900x900 mm with two doors

Another option that is suitable for both washing and installing retractable mechanisms. It is noteworthy that the two facades can be opened either simultaneously, fixed with special hinges, or separately. In this case, everything depends on what function the product performs.

L-shaped module structure:

• Side walls 520 mm.
• Back wall 854 mm. Note that only one inner sidewall is needed, the second is either completely absent, or a DVPO wall is installed instead.
• The bottom of the frame is hexagonal, L-shaped.

In such pedestals, one straight shelf is usually installed, or chipboard is joined, which is quite problematic to do it yourself.

Note!
The dimensions of the corner kitchen cabinet can be adjusted according to your requirements, only the depth of the cabinet relative to the table top remains unchanged.

An interesting solution for filling the space in the L-shaped cabinet

Two docked modules

A variation that is used to create kitchens at a 90 degree angle. It looks like this: two floor stands are fixed to each other with a small decorative strip that hides the void. These cabinets can fulfill a variety of functions: drawers and baskets, rigid shelves and storage bin.

Sizes of kitchen corner cabinets docked together:

• Main cabinet: side walls 520 mm, no rear wall, it is replaced by a narrow 60 mm wide strip, rectangular bottom. The length of the pedestal depends on how deep the second module is.
• Functional wardrobe: side walls, depending on your desire, the back wall of the DVPO, the bottom of the cabinet is optional. In general, all its dimensions are arbitrary, since it does not bear any load on the main module.

Advice!
It is still better not to place a bulky cabinet in the corner, in case of a problem with the pipeline it will be extremely difficult to get to the damaged area.

Wall cabinet

Do not forget that in the corner kitchen there are also wall cabinets, which should also be customized in functionality.

Consider a standard corner module 600x600 mm:

• Side walls 300 mm deep, arbitrary height.
• The inner wall is 584 mm wide, and the height is 32 mm less than the overall dimensions. Instead of the second wall, DVPO is installed: on nails, if the suspensions are unregulated, in the groove, if the canopies are adjustable.
• The bottom and top of the module are 584x584 mm, pentagonal. The face is the side that is trimmed at an angle.
• The shelf is usually installed removable, its dimensions depend on how the DVPO is attached.

The figure shows a hinged corner module, which has a small jumper instead of a solid rear wall: DVPO is mounted on both sides

As you can see, the size of a corner kitchen cabinet consists of several features that many do not even know about. Therefore, if you decide to assemble and install the kitchen yourself, we recommend contacting a furniture organization for a drawing of the headset. Of course, the service is not free, but you will deprive yourself of problems that may arise at the design stage.

Some features of corner cabinets

• For stability, you should use not five, but six to seven adjustable feet. This will help not only to more reliably install the curbstone, but also to level it with maximum accuracy.
• The dimensions of corner cabinets for the kitchen depend on external factors such as: piping, uneven walls, finishing materials. Everyone should take care of this in advance.
  
• If you need to make a cutout in the chipboard for pipes, after processing it is necessary to cover all ends of the material with silicone sealant.
