Tips from our kitchen designers on the best corner kitchen cabinet solutions

A functional and enjoyable kitchen is based, among other things, on optimized storage solutions. Storage for corner kitchen cabinets often presents a particular challenge for homeowners, but there are several options to turn them into optimized spaces. Discover the tips from the ROCHON kitchen designers to optimize every square centimeter.

Blind corner kitchen cabinets: specifics

Corner kitchen cabinets often become unused zones or spaces where some appliances and utensils are hard to access. Designing a corner cabinet requires particular attention to transform what could be wasted space into a practical storage area.

Upper corner kitchen cabinet solutions and ideas:

Appliances garage

To conceal your small appliances while keeping them easily accessible, this solution is wise for renovating your kitchen. To make use of storage space for corner kitchen cabinets, choose elegant and practical solutions like Wingline and Hawa systems. Sliding or folding doors allow access to storage without clutter.

Decorative option with open space

To clear the space and highlight your favorite dishes or decorative items, opt for open spaces or glass corner cabinets, which will create a more airy and bright atmosphere.

With the trend of large windows, corner kitchen cabinets give way to furniture that merges into the wall for better clearance. Enjoy an entirely custom solution with your Quebec kitchen cabinet manufacturer.

Corner shelves

To minimize the use of doors in your corner furniture, replace them with shelves. In addition to being practical, this kitchen trend also allows you to display dishes or light accessories, carefully selected for their harmony with your kitchen design.

Lower corner kitchen cabinet solutions and ideas:

Lazy Susan turntables

This corner cabinet solution with a rotating shelf is now a must-have. One or more trays are located inside the cabinet and are pulled out to facilitate access to your spices and small containers, or your pots and pans, depending on your space. An affordable solution that never goes out of style!

Magic Corner

Let the magic happen with the Magic Corner. Its ingenious system allows up to 80% of the available space to be utilized through shelves attached to the door. When opened, the front trays come completely out of the cabinet, while the rear trays slide laterally for easy access to all your materials. The removable baskets combine utility and pleasure, facilitating cleaning and organization.

Power Slide corner drawers

Perfect as your corner kitchen cabinet organizer in wood or any other material, the Power Slide system proves practical for furniture placed near appliances or other cabinets you wish to protect. This innovation slides two plates individually, offering full access to the inside of the furniture. It is a discreet and effective mechanism, ideal for arranging your cookware.

Lateral swing mechanism

Opening corner kitchen cabinets with doors tends to limit space usage. In a restricted corner or small kitchen, the lateral swing mechanism allows a considerable space gain thanks to a reduced opening radius. You thus benefit from full access to the inside of your corner kitchen cabinet. Discreet and efficient, this mechanism is perfect for those seeking a compact solution.

Trigon system

The Trigon system offers increased storage capacity, accommodating up to three stacked trays. It enhances your corner kitchen cabinet storage space by 50%, in addition to offering a robust design supporting loads of 25 kg (55 lb) per tray. Its 90-degree opening also prevents any interference with adjacent furniture.

Rotating tray system (Le Mans II by Richelieu)

Also offering a load capacity of 25 kg per tray, this system by Richelieu combines functionality and elegance. Its rotation and pivoting mechanism, with an optional soft opening, maximizes access to corner kitchen cabinet storage.

No corner drawers

Sometimes, removing drawers is an ingenious solution to maximize space or create a minimalist design. You might opt for a WingLine-style pantry, with practical doors that maximize available space. Our partner Dörr Industries offers doors with a sleek design that match your decor and echo the trendy colors for kitchen cabinets.
