How to choose the corner cupboard under the sink in the

When choosing a kitchen set, or individual pieces of furniture for the kitchen, special attention should be paid to the rational use of free space.

Features of the choice of kitchen corner cabinet for sink

Such furniture sets can be purchased in the finished form, but not always the size of the cabinet for the corner sink, or other items of cabinet furniture, will exactly match the size and configuration of the kitchen room. In such cases, the dining table, cabinets for dishes, floor and wall cabinets, as well as other pieces of furniture can be purchased separately, or order their production on an individual project.

To make it easier for the reader to cope with this task, this article will offer a brief instruction that describes in detail how to correctly choose the shape and size of a kitchen corner cabinet for a sink, based on the architectural and geometric features of a particular room.

Varieties of floor corner cabinets

Considering the various options for kitchen sinks and cabinets, which are installed in the corner of the room, it should be borne in mind that they are all of two types that differ in design, type of sink, usability, and their appearance.

1. A rectangular kitchen cupboard under the sink is a floor bollard, with which the two walls of the furniture set are interconnected at a right angle, while the outer surface of the tabletop follows the shape of the corner of the room, and also forms an angle of 90 degrees. Such furniture sets are easier to manufacture, however, they are less convenient to use, moreover, such a cabinet is less functional and not large enough.

1. The trapezoid floor cabinet for the kitchen sink is more functional, and is a large square cabinet with a beveled corner. In this case, the adjacent walls of the headset are also joined together at an angle of 90 °, but the outer surface of the table top forms two obtuse angles. Such a solution allows to increase the useful volume of the internal space, besides it makes using the sink more convenient, however, the price of such a cabinet will be somewhat more expensive than the cost of a simple rectangular bollard.

Tip! Despite the fact that the trapezoidal wardrobe, at first glance, takes up more space, its use in the future will be more convenient and practical, so when choosing furniture for a sink, one should prefer this particular form of the floor wardrobe.

4. A sufficiently large internal volume of the trapezoid pedestal under the sink can be used to install household water filters, a dishwasher or washing machine, as well as to store a bin and household chemicals.

4. Inside the cabinet, in the manufacturing process, you must immediately install all the necessary shelves, drawers, and prepare a place for the installation of household appliances.
