Determine the location and measurements of the corner cupboard
Before installing a corner cupboard, it is important to determine its location and measurements. Measure the height, width, and depth of the corner where the cupboard will be installed. Also, consider the surrounding furniture and appliances to ensure the cupboard fits seamlessly into the space. Once the measurements are taken, create a plan or blueprint to guide the installation process.
Assemble the cupboard pieces
Most corner cupboards come in pieces, and it is necessary to assemble them before installation. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure each piece is assembled correctly. Check that each part fits, and tighten any screws or bolts to ensure stability. It is important to note that some cupboards may require two or more people for assembly, especially if the pieces are heavy or bulky.
Install the base of the cupboard
Place the base of the corner cupboard in the desired location, ensuring it is level and flush against the surrounding walls. Use shims to fill any gaps between the base and the walls, and screw the base into the floor using a drill. It is important to use the correct screws and drill bit for this step.
Install the upper section of the cupboard
Once the base is secured, install the upper section of the cupboard. Attach any necessary braces or supports, and ensure the upper section is level and flush against the surrounding walls. Use screws to secure the upper section to the base and wall, and tighten any bolts or connections as necessary.
Finish the installation
After the corner cupboard is securely installed, add any final touches to ensure the cupboard looks and functions properly. This may include adjusting the shelves, adding knobs or handles, or caulking any gaps between the cupboard and walls. Finally, step back and admire your new corner cupboard!
