Ideal Space Architecture and DesignHowever, there are new ideas that improve the functionality of kitchen corner cabinets in ways that make them ideal storage spaces. Therefore, if you are thinking about remodeling or planning a new kitchen altogether, it is worth considering how you will use those tricky spaces in your kitchen.
Kitchen Corner Cabinet Types
Because this is such a common problem, there have been many cabinet designs trying to make the best use of this corner space. There are ideas for the base cabinets and for the top cabinets.
- Base corner corner cabinet – This cabinet is a type of single cabinet that fits into the corner and features a double hinged door with a knuckle hinge that allows the door to open and lay flat. This opens to a large cabinet space. Many people make the most of this space with the addition of a lazy susan to improve access in the back of the cabinet.
- Blind base cabinet – This option features two base cabinets fitted together. One cabinet is longer and fits into the corner and is accessed by a door. However, this option is not as popular because it is difficult to access the items in the back of the corner cabinet without inserts. Some new options to ease this difficulty are swing out storage units that are fitted into the blind corner.
- Corner drawers – These have become one of the more popular corner cabinets for kitchen design in recent years.
It is one corner cabinet that looks like two cabinets with 3 drawers each. However, it is one cabinet and the drawers are connected at a 90 degree angle. - Base angle corners – These cabinets fit at an angle in the corner. Thus, sometimes kitchen designers use this cabinet as a base if there is a sink or oven positioned in the corner.
Many of these cabinets can also be used on the top with the exception of the corner drawers. However, there are some unique upper corner cabinet ideas too.
- Open shelves – Shelves can be fitted into the corner in a way that increases accessibility.
- Straight cabinet – If you have more flexibility in your kitchen cabinet design, you can use a tall straight cabinet in the corner of the upper cabinet space without needing to adjoin other cabinets to it. Further, this allows you to access this cabinet without the hindrance of another cabinet.
There are many amazing ideas for kitchen corner cabinets there is no reason not to make the best use of this available space.

10 stylish tips to maximize space |
(Image credit: Jon Day)
Kitchen corner cabinets can be the solution to every designer's nightmare.
Kitchen corners are, of course, in every L-shaped kitchen there is, and can be particularly difficult if the space is in a period property where wonky walls and floors can be abundant.
Kitchen corner cabinets are a way to combat the awkwardness of these spots. Some may need to be bespoke as that can often be the only solution, but it's possible to make fitted kitchen ideas work for you too.
Sleek modern spaces look great with right angled corner cabinets. Another solution is to have kitchen corner cabinets fitted to the countertop, a look that we love.
Kitchen corner cabinets
We’ve sourced a variety of kitchen corner cabinet ideas to help you design your space whether it’s classic or contemporary.
1. Create a countertop drinks cabinet
(Image credit: Hush Kitchens )
We love this idea, but of course, these kitchen cabinet ideas could be used to house your coffee or tea selections too.
Chris Spink, founder of Hush Kitchens, comments: ‘A countertop drinks cabinet makes great use of the corner of this kitchen. The top half features bi-fold doors which can be folded back to reveal bottles and glassware and the practical base is effectively the worktop, so easy to wipe up spills.’
2. Use your corner to house a small appliance
(Image credit: Roundhouse)
When you have an acute right angled corner you can use it to house appliances like a small oven.
Then add in a wall cabinet above so the rest of the space continues to flow visually.
The handleless doors and vibrant kitchen cabinet colors help to detract the eye. That’s the key with a contemporary fitted kitchen – it should look seamless despite the size and layout.
3. Go bespoke to utilize every corner
(Image credit: Tom Howley)
‘With a bespoke kitchen designer you will be able to design a kitchen that maximizes your space no matter how small,’ explains Tom Howley, design director at Tom Howley .
‘Kitchens can look cluttered because storage hasn’t been adequately considered or planned. Designers can create contemporary and elegant bespoke corner cabinets and drawers that can discreetly house the items you use, leaving you with clean, streamlined surfaces. No space is wasted. If you have awkward corners or quirky spaces this will just add to the creativity of the kitchen.’
4. Make a feature with a contrasting door color
(Image credit: Farrow & Ball)
We’re such big fans of painted kitchen cabinet ideas and how they can transform your space so well.
This is a great example: this kitchen corner cabinet painted in Farrow & Ball’s Treron No.292 matches the tongue and groove panelling in both style and shade, yet the drawers are painted white which makes a feature of them. This ties in with the white shelf, counter top, units and worktops.
5. Make the most of space with tall cabinets

A hand-made kitchen gives you choices for your kitchen storage ideas, and to maximize your space you can choose tall larder corner cabinets.
These floor-to-ceiling cabinets blend it perfectly due to being painted in the same cream shade and you’ll get oodles of space inside for your dry foods like tins, cereal, pasta and rice.
6. Incorporate open shelving
(Image credit: M.Lavender Interiors/Janet Mesic)
This is a great example of how you can make the most out of your corners through clever kitchen shelving ideas.
In this kitchen, there’s a bespoke corner cabinet which has been built to house small appliances and tableware in the open shelving, and on the inner side herbs and spices.
The top drawers match the rest of the cabinetry on the right of the kitchen so it has a cohesive look.
7. Create a corner cabinet over a pantry doorway
(Image credit: Eggersmann)
‘The discreet entrance off to the side of the kitchen leads to the pantry and utility space which is located behind large integrated refrigeration appliances,’ explains Gary Singer, founder and creative director of Eggersmann .
‘We had a bulky structural pillar which was fixed. Its position limited us somewhat on layout options, so our solution was to repeat the corner cabinetry detail to the right of the refrigerators and connect them with a timber structure cladded in plasterboard and decorated to match – therefore creating an illusion of the kitchen joinery and doorway into the pantry area that fit perfectly within the existing structure.’
8. Make the most of your internal corner space
(Image credit: Life Kitchens )
‘If the kitchen turns a corner, a ‘le mans’ or a corner unit is a must.
One problem that we all run into especially in a small space is clutter. Utensils, pots and pans and other day-to-day items can take up much needed surface space, therefore, it is vital to have innovative storage ideas for a functional and enjoyable space,’ advises Graeme Smith, head of retail and design at Life Kitchens .
‘Traditional corner units can be notoriously difficult to access and store items in, but for these cupboards there are solutions such as racks that slide along and out of the unit when you open the door. A simple solution that means you are using all of your available space and making your kitchen more user-friendly.’
9. Create a gentle curve instead of a right angle
(Image credit: In Detail Interiors )
Right-angled kitchen cupboard ideas have their place in a sleek modern space, but can look abrupt in a more classic kitchen.
A ‘curve’ like this In Detail Interiors design makes the corner cabinets easier on the eye and less harsh, whilst still utilizing this key storage space.
10. Think about the exterior corners of your island
(Image credit: DesignSpace London)
If your kitchen is all about the kitchen island ideas and less about cabinetry along the walls, you can utilize the corners in there instead, as
‘Corner cabinets are the ideal space saving solution when it comes to kitchen design,' explains Richard Atkins, director of DesignSpace London . 'When incorporated into the island, they allow you to take full advantage of all available storage space. Choosing corner cabinets also means that goods will be easily accessible rather than being awkwardly tucked away around a corner, making it much easier when searching for ingredients etc.
What can you do with a kitchen corner?
The key is to utilize the corner as much as possible, otherwise it will be ‘dead’ space. Use drawers instead of doors – doors take up more space when they open, especially in a small kitchen. And do consider having a bespoke corner cabinet made.
It will be worth the investment purely by the space that you’ll gain from doing it.
What can I do with an awkward corner in my kitchen?
Get creative. Open shelving can be a great option and don’t forget you can have a kitchen corner cabinet that sits on your countertop. We particularly like this idea as they can look great, plus concertina style doors can be fitted so you can close it when not in use.

Even the smallest kitchen becomes more comfortable, it has additional space for installing other necessary interior elements. This method of arrangement is also suitable for medium or large rooms, it goes well with many popular styles, it can be used in a city apartment and in a country house.
Particularly popular is the corner layout of the kitchen, which provides for the installation of a bar counter.
Contents
Installing a bar counter in the corner kitchen is a good solution that helps to organize the space competently:
- The bar counter will not take up much space in the kitchen, while it can replace an entire dining table.
- If necessary, the place under the bar can be equipped to store kitchen utensils.
- The bar counter is great for quick snacks and breakfasts, it's nice to have coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening.
- In a studio apartment, the bar counter can be used to divide the home into zones.
- Bar counter looks very modern and stylish, it can be a real decoration of any kitchen.
- If desired, the bar counter, which is a continuation of the corner set, can be used as an additional work surface.
- The bar counter allows you to arrange furniture in the kitchen as compactly as possible without taking up much space.
When choosing a suitable bar counter design for your corner kitchen, you should take into account some features of its use: For children and the elderly, these chairs will be uncomfortable. Summing up, we can say that the bar is ideal for young people who do not have small children. One of the main advantages of a bar counter combined with a corner set is the ability to use it in almost any kitchen interior. Classic style - involves the use of expensive natural materials. To create such an interior, a medium-sized or large room is required. Corner set, made in light colors (or in the color of natural wood), should have smooth lines. There may be decorative elements in the form of inlay or carving. It is better to hide household appliances behind facades. All elements of such a kitchen should complement each other harmoniously - this also applies to the bar counter. It is necessary that it looks conservative and strict. Chrome-plated elements are inappropriate in this case; for the manufacture of countertops, you can use solid wood or stone. Hi-tech style is perfect for furnishing a corner kitchen. This modern style is characterized by strict lines, conciseness, simplicity and the absence of decorative elements. When arranging a headset with a bar counter, it is recommended to use synthetic materials, light metal structures, glossy surfaces. The color scheme should be restrained and monochrome, white, red, gray, black, orange, indigo and metallic colors are best. Art Nouveau style is ideal for furnishing a corner kitchen with a breakfast bar. This is a good option for creating an interior in a small or medium room. The Art Nouveau style is good because when creating it, you can safely combine a variety of materials, both natural and synthetic. Art Nouveau implies a successful symbiosis of elements that are in no way compatible at first glance. Minimalist style — corner set should be quite simple and unobtrusive, made in a single color scheme. At the same time, you should not go into complete monotony, it is better to highlight the headset a little against the general background. The material of its manufacture does not play a special role - it can be wood, chipboard, MDF, metal, glass. It is important that the headset is as closed as possible. When creating a minimalist style, you should not expose dishes to the public, it is better to store them behind furniture facades. As for the bar counter, for its manufacture it is worth using such cold synthetic materials as artificial stone, tempered glass, chrome-plated metal. A corner kitchen with a bar counter will always remind guests that the owners of the home have good taste. If the pedestal will come out directly from the top corner set, then the same material should be used for its manufacture. Thus, the bar counter will not look like a separate part of the interior, and will fit perfectly into the overall style of the room. Very often, bar counters are installed in a studio apartment . In this case, other requirements should be made to its arrangement: it will serve as a kind of barrier separating the kitchen area and the living room. It is advisable to choose a counter that will have a common color with the background design of the living room. The main thing is that it should not look like a kitchen in any way, since in this case it is unlikely that it will be possible to beautifully divide the room into zones. An excellent option for arranging a corner kitchen with a breakfast bar is to make it as an appendage . In other words, the rack should be adjacent to the countertop about 10 cm below its level. Its fastening is carried out without the help of a functional tree and vertical supports. This method is perfect for a corner kitchen, as a fairly large number of people (more than 4) will fit behind the bar counter. However, to install such a rack, a lot of free space is required, so this option should not be considered when arranging small-sized kitchens. Another successful way to furnish the interior of a corner kitchen with a breakfast bar, which is really convenient and functional, is to install the bar counter along the wall . Modern manufacturers offer a variety of bar counters for corner kitchens. It is not difficult to choose the most suitable design for a specific interior. Bar counter on a leg is a great option that is very popular. Such a rack looks light and weightless, the space under it remains completely free, due to which this effect occurs. The structure is supported by one or two thin chrome legs. Often one long pipe is installed, reaching to the ceiling, to which the tabletop is attached. On such a pipe, you can place metal fasteners for glasses and other items. Bar counter with base — under the tabletop there is a full-fledged solid base, thanks to which the whole structure looks very solid and solid. Most often, such bar counters are installed in large kitchens. Under their countertops there are often compartments for storing kitchen utensils. If desired, such a rack can be organized as a separate island, which does not depend on the corner headset. Semicircular bar counter - this option should be chosen if the bar counter should replace a full-fledged dining table. For a spacious room, a sufficiently large structure that can accommodate a larger number of people is suitable. The semicircular bar counter looks very original and stylish, but it is not suitable for use in a small kitchen. Two-tiered bar counter - this design is ideal if there are children or elderly people in the house who are uncomfortable sitting behind a regular standard-height bar. One option is to simply attach a higher level to a standard height dining table to act as a bar counter. Thus, the whole family will be able to gather together, each choosing the most convenient place for himself. Corner is the centerpiece of a corner kitchen. Thanks to modern technologies, the space formed inside such a corner can be used as functionally as possible. How is a small room with a similar layout most often decorated, and where can I find a place for a bar counter in it? Thanks to the competent arrangement of the corner kitchen and the correct location of the bar counter in it, even a small room will become convenient and comfortable. When using such a layout in a large room, all the necessary interior elements, including furniture and household appliances, will be located within walking distance from each other, so the hostess does not have to run around the kitchen while cooking. 9000

A small refrigerator and a mini-bar with various drinks can be located in the niche. The top rails, where the nets for glasses and glasses are located, also look beautiful.
