The benefits of a corner wardrobe

There's nothing quite like the look and feel of a corner wardrobe. If you're looking to add a touch of sophistication to your home and make the most of your space, corner wardrobes may be the right choice for you.

Space utilisation

Maximising space is one of the corner wardrobe's greatest benefits. It ensures that all available space is used, leaving no corners untapped.

Versatility

Corner wardrobes are incredibly versatile from an aesthetic and practical standpoint. The furniture's colour, height, handles, and other features can all be customised to match your decor.

The interior of the corner wardrobe has the option of alteration too. You decide what makes up the interior, be it coat racks, shelves or drawers.

Style

Every type of decor works with corner wardrobes. It usually appears in contemporary rooms in muted colours, without handles and with a sleek appearance. Some corner wardrobes boast glass doors. If you require a traditional feel, our corner wardrobes are available in solid wood with an iron frame and handle.

The drawbacks of having a built-in wardrobe

As with any major home improvement project, there are some downsides to installing a built-in wardrobe. For example, you can't just install a corner wardrobe anywhere in your home - you have to have the space for it.

Corner wardrobes are often expensive to install and they may need extra maintenance depending on the materials used. For design inspiration and ideas on how to arrange your corner wardrobes, take a look at our interior design project portfolio.

What are the types of corner wardrobes?

Corner wardrobes are a fantastic way to make use of the space in your bedroom. If you’re a space saver and don’t particularly fancy the idea of a full-length wardrobe, a corner wardrobe is the best option for you.

There are two main types of corner wardrobes: hinged and sliding.

1. Hinged corner wardrobes

Hinged doors are the most common type of closet door. They are made from a variety of materials and have hinges on either side of the door. In most cases, the hinges are hidden behind panels so they are not visible when the door is closed.

An example of this is the Young Hinged Door Wardrobes by Dall'Agnese. Its door handles can also be custom-made to fit your taste and are available in various finishes such as lacquer and veneer.

2. Sliding corner wardrobes

Built with a door that moves laterally into the frame, sliding corner wardrobes offer a practical storage solution. This option assists with accessing items from either side of the unit.

Sliding corner wardrobes are also usually wider than hinged versions. Wardrobe Design # 36 by Logo is an excellent choice if sliding corner wardrobes appeal to you.
