Corner Wardrobes ... they drive you round the bend - those pesky corners
There are 3 basic ways of planning your bedroom furniture around corners as follows:
The "L" shape corner wardrobe.
The standard way of placing wardrobes around a corner, supplied as a double carcase with a single door (either left or right hand), and a corner post to butt up against the return robe.
There is normally a void at the end of the robe to allow for easy placement into a "non square" corner.
Best utilised
for hanging
long clothes
because access
into the
corner wardrobe
is slightly
restricted,
and as long
clothes are
used least
... slide
them up into
the corner.
Note! Frame
constructed "L" shaped
corner wardrobes
can be "open
right through" to
allow easier
access.
The
45 degree
corner wardrobe.
A softer looking way to deal with a corner, but it only looks good with standard robes each side of the corner wardrobe, and takes up a lot of space.
This method produces an extremely deep robe with a massive shelf above. (Again, best utilised for hanging long clothes).
Both frame and carcase construction will require side panels to give the structure rigidity, so an "open right through" corner is not viable.
Note! Looks great with a full length mirror door that can be seen from all angles.
The
stable wardrobe.
Supplied with one long door and one short door with blanking panel, allowing the positioning of low furniture against the panel.
The short "stable" door then opens over the low furniture below.
This means you can make better use of space as it is not necessary to leave space for both doors to open.
Normally used for hanging long clothes, as they drop into the area behind the blank panel.
