Corner wall shelves - this is a great addition to your interior. Especially they look good in classical design, although many models are designed for decorating rooms in modern styles. In addition, the practical importance of such shelves is of no small importance: sometimes it is very convenient to place, say, a small shelf in the hall for storing keys, gloves, etc. So, let's find out what angle shelves can be and what their appearance depends on.
Types of corner shelves
First, the shelves can be placed in different ways. They are wall and floor. Hanging shelves save your living space, while the floor version is more suitable for spacious rooms.
Wall angular shelves differ from the floor in a classic way of fixing: they are fixed simultaneously on two adjacent walls with the help of anchors or construction dowels. It is also possible to detach the mount on the mounting hooks and brackets. Less common are modular shelves, which can be tiered. If necessary, changing the upper tier of such a shelf to the bottom is very easy.
Typically, most corner shelves are open, but there are also options with closing doors or glazing. They are often referred to as pencil cases or corner lockers, which does not prevent them from remaining essentially shelves.
Secondly, the use of corner shelves differs: they can be used for books and flowers, for TV sets or speakers, for candlesticks, cosmetics and various household trivia.
Classics of the genre are, of course, corner bookshelves . They are placed most often in the living room (less often - in the dining room or bedroom). Corner shelf for textbooks - a convenient kind of furniture for the schoolboy. Its ideal location is above the writing or computer desk, which also has an angular shape. In addition to the actual teaching aids, you can store notebooks, albums, CDs, and if the size allows, you can even install equipment on it that did not have enough space on the desk (printer, speakers, desk lamp, etc.).
Flowers in the living room, which is already full of furniture and various small things, is more a luxury than a necessity. Each hostess tries to place her house plants so that they look good in the interior and at the same time take up as little space as possible. In this context, the corner shelf for flowers will be just an ideal option. She will take her place in an empty corner and fill it with the enchantment of a shade-loving fern, begonia or diffenbachia.
Kitchen shelves also have the full right to be angular. Moreover, they help to save a lot of space in a small kitchen, because they can accommodate any accessories, from cookware and ending with kitchen trifles such as a set of knives or jars of spices.
Shelves in the bathroom - not so much luxury, as a vital necessity. After all, sometimes a bathroom of compact dimensions simply does not involve the placement there of any furniture in principle. And to store numerous shampoos, gels and lotions where necessary. In this case, it is better to hang the corner shelf directly above the bathroom itself, so that it is convenient to store there bath accessories for the whole family.
And, finally, third, the material from which corner shelves are made is of great importance. His choice should be focused primarily on the design features of the room: a corner glass or plastic shelf for high-tech styles and minimalism , an unusual metal for techno. A classic wooden corner shelf will be ideal for country or classics.
