5 Ways to Usefully Fill a Corner in a Small Kitchen

When planning a small kitchen, the question may arise about the rational filling of kitchen corners. We offer several solutions that will allow you to place a maximum of equipment and things in a small area without damaging the interior.

Deep corner cupboard

Corner drawers are considered to be one of the ergonomic options of modern interiors, as this non-standard solution allows you to save space, while correctly using it. The shape of such boxes makes it possible not to use additional dividers, distributing everything in its place. How many such sections will be depends on the height of the floor cabinet.

An alternative to a cabinet with corner drawers will be the installation of a corner cabinet, which will occupy the entire height of the room. In it, you can install additional shelves for storing consumables, providing free access to them. But the main advantages of such a cabinet are its large capacity with external small size.

Retractable Carousel Shelves

The “carousel” mechanisms include rotating and sliding modules, as well as mechanisms that are rotated by the door when it is opened. Such a system gives a lot of storage space, and gives functionality to an uncomfortable corner stand. Rotating shelves and baskets included in the “rotary” storage system can be of different types: mesh, solid, with the presence of sides and without them. Carousel systems can also be installed in cabinets with sinks, where they are attached to the side wall.

Washing

The corner wash option has proven itself in small kitchens. In this case, it is necessary to look for an angular module of a trapezoidal shape, to which a sink in the form of the same trapezoid with the provided convenient “wings-driers” will become the best pair.

The sink itself should not be cut deeply: it is advisable to install the bowl closer to the outer edge of the cabinet, otherwise you will have to wash the dishes with your arms extended forward, which will cause discomfort and inconvenience. Under the sink, you can organize a system of cabinets, which will give additional places for storing household chemicals and large dishes.

Shelves

Compared with corner cabinets, the purchase and installation of corner shelves will be much cheaper, despite the fact that they will provide the same functionality as the cabinets. Also, thanks to the open storage system, the kitchen room will visually increase and become brighter. On such shelves you can store plates and cups for breakfast, books with recipes, kitchen scales, knives in a stand or make an exhibition area with beautiful collectible plates. The only drawback of this solution is the rather rapid accumulation of dust on the dishes, but with timely care this can easily be avoided.

Hob and range hood

An original and ergonomic way to beat the kitchen corner is to place the built-in exhaust system and hob here.Special corner hoods have long begun to produce manufacturers of kitchen furniture, so you can buy it in specialized stores. Such a solution will visually expand the space and make it more open, and angular centimeters will be rationally used.
