Radius cabinets in the hallway, varieties and features of filling

Furnishing rooms is an important stage in creating a comfortable environment. Hallway or corridor - a small room in which you need to correctly use the free space. Therefore, radius cabinets in the hallway are the best option for arranging furniture. With their help, you can create attractive geometry, make the room comfortable, give the interior charm and uniqueness.

Advantages and disadvantages

Of all the radius models, the cabinet occupies a special place. The usual execution of the furniture facade is a plane decorated with decorative elements. A radius cupboard is furniture with convex or concave surfaces, due to which the product acquires soft outlines. Furniture with curved facades organically fits into the environment, sets the tone for the hallway interior.

In radiused cabinets, swing doors or sliding systems are installed in the hallway, the door leaf of which glides smoothly along curved guide profiles. Advantages of Radius Cabinets for Entrance Halls:

space saving, the ability to install furniture in architecturally difficult areas of the room - corners with adjacent walls of unequal length, niches, limited space;
unique shape, exclusive design of radiused furniture - curved facades give a geometrically complex shape, combine concave contours with convex outlines;
a large bending radius of the elements of furniture design - may take the form of a sector of a circle, arc. One model can combine swing and sliding doors;
various versions of furniture for the hallway. Thanks to curved facades, it is possible to produce built-in, cabinet, modular cabinets, ergonomic sliding wardrobes.

However, radius furniture has drawbacks that are important to consider when choosing products. Fewer things are placed in a radius cupboard than in a direct furniture design due to the inability to effectively fill the interior of the product. The disadvantages include the high cost of radiused furniture, since its manufacture requires significant costs. It is impossible to apply any stylistic and design ideas to curved facades, otherwise the model will dissonant with the interior design.

Varieties

The main feature of the equipment in the hallway with furniture is the limited space and a clear link of structures to a specific installation site. A radius cabinet cannot be placed anywhere in the corridor - it must be located so as not to clutter up the passage, not narrow the room, open comfortably, and hold a sufficient number of things. The design directly depends on the installation location in the hallway.

Corner

A common view of radius cabinets is corner products, which, accordingly, are located in the corner of the hallway, as shown in the photo below. The design fills the corner, but due to the smooth forms does not interfere with the free use of the room, smooths the strict lines of the room. The shape of the built-in and body corner structures is a triangle. Product features are as follows:

You can install a radius cupboard for the hallway in any free corner of the room;
the back wall of the furniture follows the shape of the angle, the size of the side walls does not matter;
corner models depend on the degree of the turn of the angle and the length of adjacent walls of the hallway;
in the manufacture of corner radius cabinets using swing, sliding, combination doors;
corner models with hinged doors require more space to fully open the wings.

Corner radius cabinets may not have a back wall - the hallway walls play its role. The product is a built-in type construction, consisting of a sliding system, and the roof is the ceiling of the room. Case radius models can have all walls, roof and bottom, they can be moved along the corridor.

Standard

When installing furniture in the hallway, compact standard models are chosen that are placed along the walls. The design is developed taking into account the architectural features of the room. The video shows how standard cabinets are installed in a narrow space along the walls of the hallway. Radius products of a standard type are given a different shape:

concave construction - suitable for installation along the length of the wall, takes a little free space. Using concave facades, you can visually adjust the outlines of a room with unequal proportions;
convex model - fits best in small hallways in which there are no long walls. Using a small bending radius of the facades, the front of the cabinet is oval. Concave models are installed in niches as built-in structures;
convex-concave (wavy) furniture - a combined version in which the front of the furniture contains concave and convex sashes. The combination of different curved shapes forms a solid figure with smooth lines.

Standard cabinets include corner models, the shape of which follows a sector or half a circle. There are no side walls in the furniture; the radius of the facades determines the dimensions of the product. The furniture is compact, but does not differ in capacity. Due to the large radius of the curved facades, part of the interior space of the furniture remains unused.

Wardrobes

What distinguishes a wardrobe from other furniture? Door leaves slide silently along the rails, that is, the sliding structure is necessarily used in the cabinet design, as shown in the photo below. For individual orders, manufacturers can make a sliding wardrobe with combined doors. Facades of various shapes with different radii can move along curved profiles of the same model. Sliding wardrobes the most practical for registration of halls, have important advantages:

compact dimensions;
complex shape, design;
convenient operation;
silent opening;
execution options.

Sliding wardrobes are built-in and cabinet, so you can choose a model for the hallway of various shapes, install a compartment in a decorative niche. Curved coupe shapes are used to emphasize the radial shape of the ceilings.

Models feature a sliding door system. In a compartment with hanging leaves, the door leaf moves along the upper guide, which takes up the main load. The option is suitable for built-in coupes - the ceiling of the hallway is the roof of the cabinet, so it easily withstands the movement of the leaves. For cabinet closets of the hull design, a lower support sliding system is predominantly installed. The door leaf moves on casters on a support built into the bottom of the cabinet, supporting the doors in an upright position.

Radius sliding wardrobes cannot contain voluminous decorative decorations on door leaves - the canvas should be smooth and even so as not to impede the smooth movement of doors.

Materials of manufacture

The curved facades of the cabinets give them a special appeal. The main elements of furniture are the body, sliding system, facades, internal filling, decor. What materials can be used in the manufacture of cabinets for the hallway:

Particleboard (particle board) is a durable, practical material. It is used for assembly of the case, facades;
Chipboard (laminated particle boards) - moisture-resistant, durable material. Goes to the manufacture of buildings, facades;
MDF (medium density fiberboard). Of these, the facades of the radius wardrobe in the hallway are made;
HDF (high-density fiberboard) - impeccable indicators of the strength of the material used for facades;
veneer - environmentally friendly material obtained from wood. Apply for decorative design of facades from chipboard, MDF;
solid wood - in the manufacture of furniture in the hallway is used to assemble the body. It makes the design heavier, expensive;
furniture board - glued lamellas made of hardwood - beech, oak, ash. Used for cases, drawers, shelves.

The main role in the curved design is played by the sliding door system and its filling. Radius facades can be made of laminated plastic, acrylic glass with photo printing, artificial leather, tinted triplex, rattan, bamboo paintings, sandblasted glass.

Sliding systems of radius sliding wardrobes - a set of aluminum profiles with rollers. If swing radial doors are installed, hinges for bent facades are used for their installation. In this case, the radius and the chord are taken into account (external for concave parts, internal for convex elements).

Filling options

The cabinet for the hallway should be practical, functional, compact, roomy. It is used to store outerwear, accessories, bags, hats. Since the doors of radius models have a curved shape, for the rational use of the internal space, the shelves must match the configuration of the wings. You can install anything in the radiant closet in the hallway. Hallway cabinets can include different elements, as shown in the video:

built-in curbstones;
drawers;
radius shelves;
shoe coasters;
compartments for clothes;
mesh baskets;
extendable racks;
curved rods;
rails for hangers;
elevators for clothes;
hooks and mirrors.

The filling option depends on the design features and dimensions of the product. A large role is played by the radius of curvature, which limits the filling of the internal space. In order to comfortably store outerwear, furniture is equipped with spacious compartments, railing rails for hangers at various heights are installed. Some designs have open, rounded shelves located along the side walls. It is convenient to store small items on them - keys, trinkets, clutches, glasses, wallets.

Selection rules

Unlike straight-line models, radius products are recommended to be ordered according to individual drawings. Thanks to computer programs for 3D visualization, you can see advertising photos of fantastic designs with a very complex geometry. Putting such a model into practice is not easy. With all its beauty and originality, the radial cabinet with curved facades in the hallway should be reliable, durable, with a high-quality sliding system, corresponding to the fittings. What to look for when choosing a product:

asymmetric models with concave and convex facades are installed along walls of various lengths;
symmetrical cabinets are conveniently placed in the corner of the hallway or in a niche of the correct form;
semicircular and semi-oval convex shaped products are suitable for classic hallways and modern style rooms;
built-in furniture takes away less free space; cabinet cabinets can be rearranged to another place in the room;
the quality of the material of the case, filling of facades, accessories should be impeccable;
the most durable is considered to be a sliding system on an aluminum rather than a steel frame;
door leaves should freely, smoothly, silently move along the guide profiles;
when opening swinging radial wings, they should not hit neighboring objects, entrance and interior doors.

The color of the model depends entirely on personal preferences. Light cabinets go well with dark flooring, and dark furniture with a light background of walls and ceilings. The decor of the radiused wardrobes excludes volumetric decorations, moldings that impede the movement of the wings. The curved design of the cabinet is not suitable for hallways, the interior of which is made in strict, geometrically correct shapes.

A radius cupboard is a good way to equip a hall, visually increase the size of the room, and give the room an original look. For comfortable use of furniture, it is better to choose models with at least two wings to place outer clothing, shoes and accessories in a cabinet.
