Decorative corners on the corners of walls: types and materials 50 photos

Angles play an important role in the interior than it might seem at first glance. Just look at their uneven or "worn" surface to once it became clear: a neat finish no one will call. Decorative corners on the corners of walls, soffits door and window openings have been used widely in the repair only in recent years. Until then, the materials that cover the joints, just changed more often than the rest of the trim.

Assess the transformative effect of the decorative element is possible even in an empty room with no furniture. By type of location they are classified into two types:

Exterior	They trim facades outside.
interior	Used in the rooms of urban apartments and private houses.

Also, the elements are classified into those that applied to the outer corners of the parties and those that are inserted into the inner. The latter may have a semicircular shape that "soften" the finish. Area can produce their own hands or buy it from a retailer. Carried articles mostly made of plastic, MDF, but there are also more durable, metal, and stone options. Polyurethane effectively simulates a variety of natural materials: wood, marble, sandstone, brick. Plastic corners are used not only as a decoration but also as a durable finish element that "survive" wallpaper or other wall covering less durable surface. The issue is present and "mystical" component. According to feng shui space "joints" of walls are considered energy breaks that create an imbalance and negatively affect the perception of the situation, so they decorate the corners of the edge, "smooth out" sharpness.

What are decorative corners

The angles often "hurt" people passing by the shoulders, elbows and portable objects. Accordingly, this part of the wall erased and scratched more than the rest. In order to protect the joint from mechanical impact, it is attached to the decorative corner - a special kind of finishing materials, a special "patch". It is designed to perform two functions:

• Decorating trim;
• Protect "sensitive" place.

In addition, finishing with the use of these items looks tidier and the interior seems to be complete. With execution of the material, color and size can emphasize particular style used in the design of the room.

when used

Corner of the wall close decorative elements in a few cases:

• If the angle is visually noticeable defects: curvature, "dimples" or projections which were not corrected plaster;
• When the protruding portion prevents passage or located next to the "pedestrian" area. Accordingly, it will constantly touch, wash, scrape. Over time, mechanical damage become visible and have a negative impact on the sensitive walls and its appearance;
• If without the interior does not look completed;
• To prevent destruction of the outer corner of the building and giving accurate exterior appearance.

Installation elements usually end repair: they literally become the finishing touch to the design.

The size of the plastic parts

The standard range of PVC over the size of 10x10 mm starts with and ends with 50x50 mm. Between them is used with gradation difference is 5 mm. Details of non-traditional sizes made to order. Between the two guides of the decorative element is observed at an angle of 90 degrees, at which overlap must all plane flat. If you got a house with a "curved" walls, it is necessary to conduct the appropriate measurements and refer to the master with a request to produce individual parts.

Types of decorative corners on the wall

Corners are universal finishing elements. They are glued in bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, balcony, offices and living rooms. Dressing is carried out by using several types of elements:

• Arched, for drywall;
• For ceramic tiles. In the same category are profiled rails for the bathroom;
• Corners of natural and artificial stone;
• Variants made of wood;
• Special guides for siding (exterior decoration);
• Corners for ceiling and floor "joints";
• Textured embodiments;
• For interior and exterior corners;
• The corners of openings for doors and windows.

Each of the species is combined with certain walls and organically infused into specific styles. Corners decorate not only the walls, but the fireplaces, stoves, furniture, "box" to mask communication and pipes.

arched

Arched corners are used under the plaster or stuck on top of the already surfaced. "Internal" elements provide a flat straight. Corners for the semi-circular walls are characterized by high flexibility, allowing tight bend to curved surfaces of their fundamentals. If the decorative panel has a strict rectangular or square shape, the decorative elements can be selected from standard plastic versions, designed for simple wall.

For ceramic tiles

Ceramic tiles used for walls and floors in kitchens and bathrooms. At the corners of the tile seams are tightly sealed, water is not passed, but collect dust, dirt and oil (cooking zone). Also, these sites usually used by bacteria and fungi for the organization of their "nursery". By properly processed seams microorganisms do not get, but to give himself a comfortable "housing" on the surface may well be. When cleaning the tiles are advised to pay special attention to precisely those areas. Cover corners to reduce the scope of work and to make a place of convergence of the walls is securely protected from the buildup of mud particles. In addition decorative element skillfully disguise uneven tiled sections and options contrasting with the color of tiles will add a chic room. Divided into two types of corners:

• Internal. Used for decorating the joints between walls and ceiling, floor, showers, or "depressed" angles. Generally have a convex or concave shape (fillet);
• Exterior. Used in the processing of the protrusions.

A popular plastic for decorating tiles is not used as the main coating polyurethane can compete with durability and strength. We also need to have all the elements of decoration "grown old," about the same, or due to come into disrepair corner, the tiles have to once again "to disturb." To decorate the surface of the tile using a metal and ceramics.

There are so-called "belt" areas. They are made of flexible plastic material, produced in the "bobbins", highly flexible, it can be easily replaced if necessary. This option is ideal for quick repairs.

For interior and exterior angles

The individual elements are classified into internal and external. The first is used for decorating surfaces extending joints. The latter is used less frequently in the "concave" corner. The latter are not so badly in need of protection, and it covers only necessary to decorate finish. Internal corners typically have a semicircular concave or convex shape.

textured corners

Textured variants differ in color and pattern. Perform them, usually made of plastic. Often the corners imitate any particular material: bricks, marble or granite surfaces, porous stone, wood (wenge, cork, oak, cherry). Variety of colors allows you to choose a contrasting background or option for a specific interior.

wooden

Wooden corners are usually made of thin MDF plates, bamboo, cork or veneer. For ease of the materials are not inferior plastic. MDF is flexible, and pressed on the surface of the decorative layer of sawdust coated with a protective film from damage. In embodiments of the veneer element is made from thin slices of wood, that is, it is natural and has a more natural image. Corners of wood denser array. Glued to the surface, they are a little on it to act.

It does not recommend the use of natural wood in bathrooms and kitchens. Before attaching the material, it should cover lacquer layer. Wooden elements are usually made independently. Unfortunately, the cracked area can be deformed, and by a strong blow to crack. For the natural beauty of the decorated surface will have to "pay" a low-life.

Corners for ceilings and baseboards

Ceiling and floor baseboards in selected locations modules compounds are very unsightly. How would carefully have not been processed slices, aesthetic picture of the interior are a little shake. To disguise their use decorative corners. In appearance they differ from the wall variants look like small plates that are designed for formulation of a small area. For ceiling moldings moldings with classic-style take on special corners with monograms, repeating every curve of connected lines. Ceilings applying elements is not of a binding nature, which can not be said of the sexes. Here baseboards in constant contact with the feet of guests and household. Their "joint" may become loose, worn out and come in complete disrepair. Corners save baseboards from rapid wear.

The designer compositions bottom decorative elements sometimes overlap with the upper. This solution ensures the integrity of the composition, so ceiling and floor skirtings often have the same shape, respectively, and their corners for decorating selected identical.

Angles of natural stone

Decorative items made of natural stone, commonly used for the facades of houses. Due to the strength of the material, they provide excellent protection against the destruction of the building. However, with the popularization of the industrial loft, brick and masonry became organic addition not only the exterior but also the interior of the house. These corners are bound to be a little "act" above the surface. You should choose flat stones, which provide a neat view of the entire structure. Fasten them with cement mortar, ie the area is monumental and is set for a dozen years. Combines elements with plasterboard walls, embossed plaster and wood paneling.

Angles made of artificial stone

Corners of artificial stone belongs to the cheaper and more practical option. As a rule, a simulation is made of plastic. He repeats not only color, but also a "rough" surface texture. PVC is flexible, often beyond the "borders" of the angle and creeps on the wall itself. This solution is used to create the illusion of natural scenery, because the real masonry do not normally fitted to the line. Combine the area with wallpaper and the same plastic panels.
It's important to know. Most budget imitation stone considered thick wallpaper in the corners. Of these, cut out the curly pieces of stones along the contours and paste to the joint. Such elements will not protect the surface from scratches and damage, but to cope with the decorative task.

Variants of using a corner profile for finishing of corners

Corner profile is used for decorating the following elements:

• "Natural" joints between the walls, which are located in a vertical plane;
• Door and window slopes;
• Designated "convergence" of ceilings, floors and walls in a horizontal plane with a concave shape;
• Angles decorative partitions, including the arched openings;
• Joints between showers, fireplaces and other "monumental" (suggesting no displacement) with interior walls and objects, floors.

Decorative elements can "smooth out" any "joint" at the junction of finishing materials. If you previously had to carefully handle the cuts that they remain beautiful aesthetic, but now they are allowed bumps and chips, which will mask the area.

Finishing slopes of doors and windows

New windows are usually included special places, which completes the installation of the window. The sets of doors too often include transoms and frames. If the corners are no extra protection, pick up and sticking it would have on their own. Element slopes protects against damage and smooth out the junction of two different materials. For example, the end of time, the wallpaper will begin to fade and peel. How exactly would you cut the finishing material on the slope it will look untidy without additional coating. In the doorways of the slopes can be scratched furniture that sneaked through them.

The best option will be to use parts of polyvinyl chloride. If necessary, it is easy to replace, and surface texture may simulate any natural materials. Selecting a particular color, you can create an illusory transitional boundary between the color of the wallpaper and the window frame or door opening. Less commonly used corners of the veneer or bamboo.

Arched doorways

Arched openings, tend to have one of the classic forms: a semi-circle at the top. Repeat its contours can not every material. For example, the corners of solid wood may only be used for direct decoration. Smooth transitions decorated elements from a flexible plastic material, MDF, veneer or bamboo. All of the above options to easily follow the contours of the arch, and complete clearance of the door opening.

How to stick plastic corner alone

In addition to decorative corners and take another bonding structure. To narrow elements do not recommend the use of glue surplus which can not be removed from the surface without leaving a trace. The joint before the procedure must first be cleaned of dirt and residues wallpaper or projecting pieces of fabric. No corners will not save too rough and bumpy surface. Then the measured wall. The measurements are exactly transferred onto a piece of corner. Cut the material better hacksaw with fine teeth. Do not forget about the joints between themselves corners (in doorways, windows): two lines should end cuts at an angle of 45 degrees. "Seamy" side of the prepared material is smeared with glue and applied to the wall. Hands tightly pressed to the surface area and stick to until the bonding composition does not "grab"

conclusion

There is another type of decorative corners, decorating furniture (sofas, cabinets, beds, tables). It is used usually for protecting joints of MDF or chipboard panels that are particularly susceptible to damage, and eventually start to crumble. Special silicone corners households are saving little fingers from constant attacks on these surfaces. In the interior, the use of these elements usually complete repair. Their installation is similar to the last brush stroke on the canvas almost finished when the artist, moving away from the easel, evaluate critically their creation and corrects certain areas, the composition became completed. Decorative corners become an indispensable element in the design of the room, which emphasizes its accuracy and beauty.
