Corner Cabinets Made out of Wood

Corner cabinets are an ideal storage option for those who have very little room for cabinet units, such as limited wall or floor space. Corner cabinets made out of wood may be constructed in various formats and concepts, meaning that finding a corner unit that suits your décor and style is not impossible. If you plan to make your own wooden corner unit, analyze your needs and décor wants before purchasing any wood or supplies.
  1. Shelves

    • Simple corner cabinets may be open concept with no cabinet door hiding the contents. This type of corner cabinet often has shelves to store various items for display, including decorations, vintage plates or even books and DVDs. The shelving option is also ideal for those wishing to have smaller boxes, such as wooden or braided boxes, on display with smaller items.

    Closed Corner Cabinet

    • A closed corner cabinet is one where cabinet doors cover the front of the cabinet to hide the contents inside. This type of cabinet may be a combination of shelves and drawers in which only the shelves are hidden behind the cabinet door. The cabinet door itself may be highly decorated with trimming or molding in hopes of matching the corner cabinet with the existing home cabinets and décor.

    Glass Door

    • Another option for a wooden corner cabinet is a shelving unit that is closed with a glass door. This type of corner cabinet is frequently used with display cabinets, showcasing more expensive and elaborate items, such as plates, glasses, medals and porcelain figurines. However, many enjoy the look of the corner glass door cabinet and use it to store plates and glasses in the dining room rather than decorations.

    Wine Bottle Holders

    • Some corner cabinets are not built with the intention of storing items but rather hold them for display, such as a wine bottle corner cabinet. A corner cabinet with integrated wine bottle racks may have a glass door to protect the bottles from children. Fully functional wine storage corner cabinets with a built-in fridge will have a full cabinet door like a fridge and does require electricity to function. These may be made out of wood but have an internal wall suited for cooling and refrigeration.
