Features of corner shelves
The corner shelf, than good, is the convenience of placing utensils, interior decoration on it. No need to open the doors, like a cabinet, put a thing there, and then close it again. Moreover, if the hands are busy, it is impossible to do.
In addition to the aesthetic appearance, open shelves are also convenient to use.
Also, a corner wall mounted kitchen shelf takes up less space than lockers. Due to the lack of doors, useful space is freed up. Some opponents of this finish complain, they say, the interior design will lose much if, instead of a standard, familiar wall cabinet, an open shelf is hung. But there is some peculiarity. If you correctly position the compartments, equip them with decorative objects, draw surfaces: the design in this case will not be able to lose in beauty or originality.
In addition to kitchen utensils, shelves can place original decor elements.
But what are the advantages distinguished by a detailed examination:
- Simplicity of execution leads to low cost.
- Self-assembly is possible and, as a result, budget savings.
- Easy assembly guarantees a long service life. There is simply nothing to break. There are no moving parts, and the location in the corner, on two supporting walls, reliably fixes the structure.
- The original look, which can be selected independently, repeatedly transforms the interior space of the room.
- Unusual finishes, various forms of shelves / departments - all this positively affects the overall design.
- Ease of use speeds up the process of cleaning, storage.
For such shelves, self-assembly is not difficult.
The shelf above the kitchen table can coolly transform the space. Low cost, simplicity in the device - those attractive features that lure buyers to choose them. Indeed, a simple design scheme guarantees long, trouble-free operation. Such an element of the interior can serve you not only a decade, but a whole century. There is simply nothing to break here.
The shelves above the surface of the kitchen countertops look especially harmonious.
If you decide to order a hinged shelf in a corner (and only by order you can choose the right size and corner turn), then pay attention to the fact that the best advice for you is to contact a specialized organization of furniture makers who will make all the necessary measurements at your home.
Here, the most important value is the rotation of the angle. After all, builders are not always perfect fit the corner of the building. It should be 90 degrees, but in fact there are always discrepancies. For a corner shelf, this can be a fatal mistake. The central joints simply do not converge, because of which the interior design will lose much.
Open kitchen shelf made of wood.
Types of shelves
For the kitchen there are several types of different shelves. Let's list them.
There are as many as five types of kitchen open shelves.
There are also variations on the material of manufacture. It could be:
- natural wood
- plastic,
- metal,
- Particleboard, MDF,
- plain or finnish plywood,
- glass,
- natural or artificial stone,
- polymers.
The price of shelves depends on the material.
There are plenty to choose from. To understand which material is preferable, you need to get acquainted with the properties of each.
Tree
So, natural wood. One of the most beautiful materials that you can choose to buy / manufacture a corner hinged shelf. Reliability of wood is an axiom. Therefore, feel free to buy such a product. Its benefits include:
- reliability,
- quality,
- long service life
- aesthetic properties.
The most reliable and durable are shelves made of natural wood.
With proper dexterity, by having a small amount of a power tool, it is easy to make a wooden shelf on your own with your own hands. You will need a jigsaw, a planer, in some case, a circular saw. The manufacturing process is as follows.
- Buy edged boards at any hardware store. If you have old garage deposits, then this is very good. There you can easily find what you need.
- Using an electric planer or hand tool, plan the board to the desired thickness. Try to observe the parallelism of the planes (use ingenuity).
- After the planing operation, cut the boards to the desired size with a saw or jigsaw.
- At the last stage, you just have to collect the finished product, cover it with color or colorless impregnation on wood, pass the varnish.
If you have the necessary materials, wooden shelves can be built with your own hands.
Tip. Apply 2-3 coats of impregnation. So the product will last longer, will acquire a more saturated color and texture. After the impregnation has completely dried (2-3 days), you can begin to apply the paint layer. To do this, use varnish or paint. It depends on your taste, as well as on the color of the impregnation, which previously covered the product.
For the wooden structure to last a long time, it is necessary to carefully impregnate the finished shelves.
Particleboard and MDF
If you are going to make a hinged shelf of wood yourself, then it is profitable and cheap. But not everyone can buy a finished product in a store. Wood prices bite (especially hardwood). Alternatively, materials such as particleboard and MDF can be used.
These are structurally similar boards made of shavings and fibers, respectively. There is another difference: the adhesive composition of the particleboard is formaldehyde resin, and MDF is paraffin. The first is very toxic, so if young children live in the house, it is better to purchase a corner shelf made of MDF.
Unlike wooden structures, shelves made of MDF and particleboard will serve much less.
The advantage of chipboard, MDF - the finish layer has already been applied, moreover, by postforming. What does it mean? And this means that your shelf is lined with plastic. And this is a very strong, wear-resistant material that will last a long time.
In decorative terms, these two wood substitutes are very practical. Using postforming, they imitate any surface, whether it is stone, marble, metal, wood, even glass.

Metal, stone and plywood
Plywood is available in two versions: this is an ordinary, multi-layer version and Finnish plywood made using unique technology. Its properties are similar to wood. But in visual qualities inferior to her. Therefore, to equip the kitchen with a corner shelf, plywood is not desirable.
Metal shelves in the kitchen will look very amazing. In particular, the style of Hi-Tech, Minimalism, Loft. The metallic sheen of the texture of such a product will perfectly fit into the general play of this “kitchen theater”.
Open kitchen shelves fit perfectly into the design of any kitchen.
Marble / stone products occupy a special place. Afford such chic can only wealthy citizens. But what is the beauty of natural stone. The marble surface is mysterious, mysterious, beautiful. This beauty is interrupted only by the high cost of such a shelf. To install stone suspensions you need to use powerful fasteners. The design is very heavy. Only brick or concrete walls are needed.
For shelves made of stone and porcelain, special fastening systems must be used.
Execution options
The shelf in the corner of the kitchen can carry two functions:
Open shelves have great functionality.
