Kitchen-owners or re-modellers, sometimes or the other, are meant to deal with the “what to do with the kitchen corners”. But in this article, we have tried providing some solutions that will help you transform those difficult corners into something effective and convenient.
Corner Cabinets
Corner cabinets are those smart kitchen friends that are designed to make use of the space in a corner. They may be glass cabinets or be made of wood completely. Since most kitchens and some bathrooms too are made in rectangular or L-shaped layouts, you will at least have one corner to deal with.
What Problems Do These Corners Create for Kitchens?
The cabinet corners in kitchens, whether they are located on the walls (upper) or bases (lower) create natural design issues when the geometry of most homes meets the scarcity of space.
And, as a result, they can lead to several problems that are mentioned below:
- These corners are too deep to reach and you will invariably end up getting sprains in your back or shoulders.
- Since they are deeper than other cabinets, especially the ones in the base, these are very dark inside, and finding any small thing inside can be difficult.
- The inaccessible corners are also a favourite place of pests because you visit the corners rarely, becomes a dumping ground for unused products, and gets cleaned even rarely.

Tips To Maximise Usage of Your Corner Cabinets
Now that you have beautifully organised corner cabinets, you now must learn to make use of those fully. Here are some expert tips that you need to keep in mind.
Use The Base Corner Cabinets for Your Kitchen/Bathroom Appliances
The corner cabinets at the base or bottom of your kitchen make space for the bulkier items. This acts as an excellent space for blenders, toasters, one-pots, cooktops, and so on for kitchens, and hair dryers, hair straighteners, etc. Store them in the corner cabinets to increase the space on your kitchen tabletop or the bathroom top around your washbasins.
Do Not Overfill the Storage Spaces
Please restrain yourself from loading your corner cabinets with all the things that you do not find a place to store in. If you start storing everything behind the closed doors of the glass cabinets, you tend to forget about the products, remember, “out of sight, out of mind?”
