Corner Kitchen Storage – Solutions You’ll Love

Corner cabinets create valuable kitchen storage but can be very challenging to access.  Our corner cabinet solutions will help you transform your corner space so everything stored is within easy reach.  They really are solutions you’ll love.

 
Solution 1 : Using A Lazy Susan – Finding The Right Fit!
Lazy Susans are available in a wide range of sizes, options and budgets.  To help you choose the right one you need to consider the correct size of your space.  Ideally there should be 30-50mm of space between the Lazy Susan and the cabinet wall.  The pictured stainless steel wire Lazy Susan also has an optional clear non slip base - a useful addition to help stabilise stored items and prevent unwanted spillage.  

TIP: Check your specifications!  A good height for a tray is at least 60mm+ and choosing the right size diameter will ensure space is fully utilised.

Solution 2: Adding More Trays

The 'standard' option is 2 trays but that doesn't mean you can’t have more!  Adding a 3rd tray will increase your available storage significantly and if you are not storing tall items, an extra tray is worth considering.  For a corner pantry, or a tall corner cabinet, adding trays is a great additional must!

TIP: Lazy Susans without a pole give you better space flexibility and allow full access when storing items.

Solution 3: Making Small Nooks a Storage Opportunity
Ok, so not everything is a 'perfect fit' and you’re sometimes left with wasted space.  We transformed a 15mm space left beside a Lazy Susan by adding racks for storing bottles and spices.  A clever and simple solution!  This corner cabinet storage solution works well for spaces that are 'L' shape.  There are several narrow space solutions for like this but we recommend contacting us to help you work out 'best fit'.

TIP: Fitting a narrow pull out rack into existing corner cabinets can be easily done and several can be added to existing cabinets.

Solution 4: Swing Trays

This solution is designed for corner cabinets with one single door.  The Swing Tray corner storage solution is popular because it’s simple, easy and flexible.  It’s a good solution for a wide range of cabinet heights and each tray holds approx 20kg, so offers plenty of support if you're storing heavy items.

TIP: If you are storing short items, opt for 3 trays instead of the usual 2.  The more trays you have, the greater storage is available.

Solution 5: Lazy Susan 1/2
There are many versions of the 1/2 Lazy Susan and the quality varies significantly, as does the price!  This economical alternative to the Swing Trays pictured above does the job just as well.  These corners solutions are available in a wide range of materials – plastic, chrome and stainless steel – so you’ll need to weigh up what features are important to you if you’re budget is limited.

TIP: If you live in a coastal or humid area, stainless steel wires will give you more durability and prevention against rust in the long term.

Solution 6: Moving Corner

Moving Corners offer both flexibility and functionality.  The baskets can be adjusted up and down to accommodate varying heights, depending on the items being stored.  

Compared to all the other shown solutions for corners in the kitchen, these baskets are square shape so they give you a little more storage space (compared to the tray shapes above).  The baskets are also simple to remove and easy to adjust, which makes cleaning the baskets and cabinets a much simpler task.

TIP: Most corner solutions require your cabinet door width to be 400mm or more.  If you are designing the cabinet, try and work to these minimum requirements.
