Corner Cabinet Storage  

The conflict of space versus storage needs is timeless. Fortunately, additional choices are arising in home design by developing corner cabinet storage. Look around and count how many corners are either not used or are a part of wasted space by furniture sitting cater-cornered. This line of cabinets is made to back cleanly into a corner because of the triangular cut of the back. The styles, colors and materials used in their construction make them likely candidates to fit any decor. They can also be used to provide a stunning, functional contrast.

The designs are also made to take advantage of the surrounding floor space. So they are made in tall, thinner models and in broad-based styles as well. Some options available would include adjustable shelving, separate enclosed storage cabinets, doors and various uses of glass. They come in the most popular furniture styles to fit in existing Contemporary, Traditional, Mission, Colonial/Early American and others. The applications can include being used for TV and media centers, curios, storage cabinets, with open shelving or fully enclosed with doors that may also employ glass. The flexibility is really stunning and they can make a big difference in rooms where space is a premium. There are several companies that have realized the potential for these cabinets and have a wide variety available.

One company in particular is Home Decorators Collection. They have creations for basically every room of your home. If you are hard-pressed to find that extra storage space in your bathroom for example, look at the various versions of their "Craftsman Corner Linen Storage Cabinet With Wood Door." Constructed of wood and available in Macintosh, light or dark oak, they have two adjustable open shelves, three drawers, and a closed cabinet on the bottom portion. They stand about 5 1/2 feet tall and could be placed in a vacant corner in or near the bathroom, the kitchen, living room or bedroom. A similar model, but more rounded, is the "Heirloom Chelsea Corner Linen Storage Cabinet" that is based on a classic antique style and available in ivory or antique cherry. Hand crafted details make this a very nice investment.

They also offer the "Turner Corner Credenza" with two glass doors that is 29"H x 28"W x 20"D to fit comfortably in a dining room or living room. It is available in a cherry or black cherry finish. If you might be in the market for a very attractive, unique corner TV cabinet, take a look at their "Heirloom Corner TV Armoire." Everything can be completely closed up when not in use and provides two shelves and two drawers for storing your home entertainment accessories. A practical solution and very nice looking piece of furniture at the same time. It is quite surprising the number of corner TV cabinets that can easily support the largest screens in so many striking styles and colors.
