But for the doors of corner kitchen cabinets it makes sense to choose a beautiful design, for example, glass, wood, metal.

The cabinets made with a combination of materials are particularly spectacular.They will be combined with any of your interior.

Color solutions

Fittings

Fittings are a very important and often undervalued element of a kitchen set. And in vain, because accessories can greatly facilitate the lives of kitchen owners. Installing ordinary shelves and the lack of accessories will lead to the fact that most of the corner cabinet will be in limited access.

The most common type of furniture for corner cabinets are considered "carousel". These are two or more round shelves, turning which we will be able to have free access to all kitchen utensils located on the shelves.Such carousel shelves are made of various materials, which is very important for those who pay attention to small details.

But on the glass in the doors of the cabinets should pay attention, because it is known that it perfectly expands the space.

To assemble a kitchen corner cabinet itself, the first thing you need to design it. For this you need:

  1. determine the purpose of the cabinet (for what purpose is required)
  2. calculate all cabinet sizes
  3. decide on the internal device (choose simple shelves, carousel, baskets)
  4. come up with the color and style of the future cabinet
  5. decide what material the cabinet will be assembled from. It is better to give preference to chipboard or laminated chipboard. This material is ideal for hand-made furniture. Its advantages are obvious - it simply washes, repels water, looks aesthetically pleasing and is inexpensive.

To make it easier, contact a special company that will help you with sawing. To do this at home is quite problematic.

Now to the very process of assembling thumbs. First insert the dowels into the previously prepared holes. Be sure to make sure that the mechanism is level. Pre-lubricate the chopik glue.Next, with the help of screws you need to install cross-shaped attachment for the door of the cabinet.

Attach rail attachment systems to the side walls of the cabinet so that drawers can be pulled out. On the back wall you need to nail a sheet-fiberboard.

If you want to hang a corner cabinet, then you need to attach the accessories to it. With it, it will be attached to the wall.

We proceed to the assembly of boxes. Their walls must be tightened with screws. Put pieces of fiberboard on the bottom. Then secure the facades of the drawers using eccentric stitches. It remains to install the bottom corners - guides for drawers and the details of the cabinet is ready.
