You’ll run into the corner cabinet dilemma whether you’re planning a new kitchen or remodeling an existing one. Most kitchens are L-shaped, which means they have at least one corner. What are some things you can do to make the most of this space? A blind space exists where two cabinets touch in many older homes. This often results in wasted space in the one room of the house where the most storage is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can this problem be solved in an old kitchen, and how can this room be creatively used in a new kitchen? In the kitchen, creating beautiful corner cabinetry that maximises space is critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lazy Susan is the most popular way to use a kitchen corner. Over or below the kitchen counter, these pie-shaped cabinets may be mounted. The Lazy Susan has a central entry point from which the shelves rotate. The Lazy Susan is a perfect place to store packaged or canned food, as well as spices, above the counter. The Lazy Susan can store bulky cooking and storage equipment underneath the countertop. By spinning the shelves, all of the contents are easily available. Nothing is safe from being relegated to the back of the fridge, where it will be forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pullouts that swivel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Swinging pullouts, like the Lazy Susan, are a perfect way to maximise the space in an oie shaped corner cabinet, so you don’t lose stuff in the back. Swinging pullouts are cabinet shelves that can be taken down. Anything on the shelf can be easily reached. Cookware and cooking accessories can be easily placed and accessed on these devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawers should be pulled out.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pull out drawers are a simple way to make the most of an under-the-counter corner cabinet, even though they won’t fully solve the issue of the blind space corner cabinet. Inside a cabinet, a couple of drawer systems with tracts can be installed. Heavy cookware or kitchen accessories can be stored in these drawers. Pulling out the drawers eliminates the need to bend and search for the pot you’re searching for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawers with corners<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One solution to the corner cabinet problem is to use cornered drawers. Made into the corner cabinet, cornered drawers slide out to provide access to things such as cooking utensils. The corner drawers will be divided into small compartments, providing an organising method built right in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cabinets with a diagonal layout<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A popular solution to the kitchen corner problem is diagonal cabinets. These cabinets can be panelled to match the rest of the kitchen. They provide a visual break from the cabinetry and can be used to add dimension and colour to the kitchen. The issue is that the diagonal cabinet can be difficult to accommodate in a prefabricated kitchen. They’re also a little smaller than standard cabinets. Diagonal cabinets, on the other hand, can be used to store small dishes or even cookbooks. A Lazy Susan or Pull Out Drawers may be built if it is of a larger scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base of the sink<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With a cornered sink, a custom-built kitchen will make use of the space. Dish soap, dishwasher detergent, garbage bags, and cleaning supplies can all be held in the cabinet underneath the sink foundation. These products will fit nicely underneath the corner cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seating is built-in.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A built-in seating area will solve the problem of the kitchen corner if space permits. This is particularly appealing if the room has a window. Storage is provided by cabinetry, and a cornered cushion and a few pillows can serve as a nice focal point or a relaxing place for a guest to relax while you prepare dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cabinet with two accordion doors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A corner cabinet storage solution is a double door that opens like an accordion. The shelving is shaped like a pie and can be accessed from either side\u2014the corner cabinet benefits from easy access and sufficient storage with this solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a lot of empty space.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is often more convenient to leave empty space in the corner drawer. It may be difficult to get to the deep-set space where the cabinets meet, but it may be the only choice. Store infrequently used products in bins in the out-of-reach section to make the most of the room. Back there, for example, keep your Christmas baking supplies. You just have to communicate with them once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pantry A pantry cabinet will fit nicely into the kitchen’s pie-shaped corner. The only issue is the loss of counter space. To break up the kitchen corner, a floor to ceiling corner cabinet can be accented with wainscot or other trim accents. The interior space can be used to store pantry items for quick access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical cabinet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A typical cabinet can be used for storage when resting against the corner. Show glasses and dishes with this addition. The cabinet serves as a decorative element in the kitchen and can serve as a pleasant focal point above the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corner glass display cabinet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can always add a decorative corner piece above the countertop if you can’t find any space-saving alternatives for your kitchen corner. This cabinet, like the regular one, can be used to show dishes or glasses. Even though this pie-shaped cabinet isn’t particularly big, a glass door may serve as a focal point in the kitchen by displaying something unique, such as your favorite wine glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slots are a type of game.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Plates can be stored in slots created in the kitchen corner. This is a good alternative to the corner cabinet because it opens up space and adds character. Slots make the most of the available room without making the kitchen appear cluttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shelving that is open<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Open shelving can be cornered above the counter to give your kitchen a sleek, minimalist look. Dishes, coffee mugs, or your teapot and teacup may all be used as display pieces. You should put your flour and sugar canisters on show. You can make it more interesting by breaking it up and adding some decorative elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garage for Appliances<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An appliance garage is a perfect way to make use of a kitchen corner while still reducing clutter. A lift-up door is used in an appliance garage. Close the door to the “garage” and store the blender, mixer, and toaster inside. This allows easy access to appliances while keeping them covered, resulting in a clutter-free countertop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Container<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you can’t come up with a solution for your lower corner cabinet room, it could be used as a trash can. Since the room is so large, it can accommodate a trash can and a recycling bin. It will hide your trash from view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a portable Lazy Susan to the mix.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If all else fails and you still can’t figure out how to make use of the space in your corner cabinet, consider adding portable shelving, such as a Lazy Susan. You can access things in your cabinets by rotating the platform. Since you can rotate the platform and hit anything at the back of the cabinet, you won’t miss anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn the shelves around.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Alternating shelves are a cost-effective way to maximise room in a corner kitchen cabinet. Placing shelves above and below each other on either side of the cabinet will not increase storage space, but it will make it easier to find what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Racks for hanging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to keep pots, pans, and lids in a lower corner cabinet, you can use hooks to hang them. This is a fantastic way to save space. You won’t have to dig through anything to find the one saucepan you need. Lids can be stacked on the cabinet’s bottom shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying Guide<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Creating a Space Plan and Design<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kitchen cabinetry is an important part of home design and remains a major factor in determining the value of a home. However, price, style, and material selection aren’t the only factors to consider. Even the simplest kitchen can be expensive and time-consuming, so follow these steps before buying any supplies or items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Deal with resale concerns. Maintain developments in line with similar market data for other homes in your neighbourhood. Wanda Edwards Lee, a home improvement centre professional, says, “I first make sure customers are certain whether the room is a rental, a resale, or a spot they’ll stay in and enjoy forever.” “It’s also crucial to determine how long customers intend to stay at the house.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Establish the scope of the project. This is largely determined by the budget and the current state of the kitchen. If space only requires a facelift rather than a layout change or the relocation of major appliances, replacing door faces or applying a fresh coat of paint can suffice. However, whether you’re dealing with shaky cabinetry, layout problems, or new construction, you’ll want to invest in new cabinetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Choose a style for your kitchen. One of the most functional and spacious work areas in any home is the kitchen cabinetry. Begin with an accurate scaled floor plan of the existing room, noting door, window, and other architectural measurements before deciding on a style. It’s also important to note the location of existing utilities, including electricity, water, and sewer connections, particularly if the remodel requires spatial reconfiguration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heating and air registers, cook-top ventilation, electrical outlets, and gas piping, if necessary, should all be specified in the plans. Before choosing cabinetry, double-check the exact dimensions of any new or existing appliances that will be included in the new build, such as the refrigerator, dishwasher, range, hood, microwave, icemakers, under-cabinet wine coolers, and sinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Draw it out. Make a rough drawing, organising large appliances to make the best use of available space. AIA architect Mark Hutker advises, “Keep it easy and open.” Make a convenient route between the sink, range, and refrigerator, which are the three most frequently used kitchen elements (“the work triangle”). Storage, task centres, accessories, and appliances, as well as their frequency of usage, should all be carefully considered. Galley, L-shape, U-shape, straight (one wall), and island are all popular kitchen layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional configurations have been pushed to the limit by modern architecture, which has resulted in wider, more open spaces. These simple configurations, on the other hand, are still useful for deciding the overall relationship of appliances and their proximity to one another. Unless you’re a seasoned DIYer, hiring an architect, interior designer, kitchen designer, home centre expert, or cabinet designer to create the most efficient plan for your room and decide cabinetry dimensions and specifications is a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction and Material Options<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The materials used in the two cabinet styles are identical, but the structure differs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been framed. A 1.5-inch to 2-inch border or frame is used to conceal the cabinet box’s edge in face frame cabinetry. The face frame adds durability and power. The cabinet door is fixed to the frame’s side with face frame construction. Doors may be installed on the inside of the frame for a uniform, flush-mounted appearance or on the front of the frame for a reveal (partial overlay). Few cabinets are constructed entirely of solid wood, and most framed cabinets have a box made of wood substrates like plywood, particleboard, or medium-density fiberboard (MDF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Box\/Frameless There is no face frame in frameless construction (also known as euro), and the cabinet doors are attached directly to the cabinet box’s sides. The term “full-overlay” refers to doors that cover the entire cavity and box. Frameless cabinets have complete access because they don’t need a frame, allowing for the most efficient use of space. Cabinets and drawers made with face frames are slightly bigger. The majority of frameless cabinets are made of imported wood products such as plywood, structural particleboard, or MDF, with a laminate or wood veneer on the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget Requirements<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Where to Splurge: If you want an old-world feel or a classic period style, choose face-framed cabinets with solid wood drawer fronts and doors. Face framed cabinets, whether flush or overlay, has a classic look that cannot be balanced by their more recent counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Save: Frameless cabinets need less labour due to their simplified construction methods. As a result, frameless cabinets are often less expensive, but this depends on the design and material chosen. With so many designs now available in frameless construction, you’re likely to find any desired look at a lower cost. Both types of cabinetry have a wide variety of door styles, but there are two words you should understand before deciding on a cabinetry style or enlisting the aid of a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overlay in its entirety. In framed construction, full-overlay cabinetry covers the entire face frame, while in frameless designs, it hides the cabinet box. This case front design has a smooth look due to the continuous fa\u00e7ade of door and drawer faces. With so many door types to choose from, full overlay cabinetry can now be considered either modern or traditional, depending on the door type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overlay in part. A portion of the cabinet box or face frame is left partially exposed in partial overlay construction. A reveal is the part of the box that has been revealed. A half-inch overlay door and drawer front leave two inches of the cabinet frame exposed between drawers and door fronts in face-framed construction. Face framed construction with a quarter-inch expose shows significantly less of the face frame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
