don't worry about Tick toc. .

When we moved my old range out to replace it I was astonished by the space wasted by the corner cabinet next to it. I’m going to have my carpenter cut into the blank wall behind it in the utility room and put in some shelves (accessible from the utility room side). I know that’s not a kitchen solution but my utility room doesn’t have a lot of storage space. 😊

I did something similar with 2 rooms that shared a common wall. I took what would have been a wasted corner of a bookshelf and changed the wall so that this wasted bookshelf space became a storage cabinet for the powder room which was on the other side of the wall to the study.

See my contribution about that space.

I know this isn't the popular opinion, but I like my lazy Susan corners. Mine are relatively large and I only store big stuff that can't get shoved off the back in there. Pots and pans, pie plates, etc. My kitchen is a small to small-medium sized at best. My counters go around the corners and the lazy susans give me plenty of extra storage space that is easy (for me) to get to. I need the storage.

i hate lazy suzy it's such a pointless waste of space and things are cliched and it feels like everything is falling apart. We don't have a lot of space in apartments and often in private houses, which is why everything should be economical and well planned and thought out. Such a system can be used by someone who has enough space to leave such a large part of their kitchen for just a few items. Apparently, its lovers are the owners of a large kitchen or pantry. I'll add that I don't like a completely open kitchen either. It can be in the same room, but must remain in the shadows, behind the corner. for example, an L-shaped room. The thing is, I don't want to see any kitchen stuff from the living room. Dining table - yes, it can be in the living room. It's even nice and cozy. Long story short, in my last home I finally got those wishes and also the long missed open pot rack. For this, it was necessary to leave only 30 cm of free space between the doorway and the wall, where a shelf with stylish pots could be placed. It is so good to grab a pot of the required size with a lid from a step away. No more stacking and scrambling to get them and look for a cover. Of course, the kitchen, which is not part of the living room, allows this. I am so satisfied and happy. That , loving and hating depends on many circumstances in your home, such as style, wishes and possibilities.

I like them very much.

In my old house, I had a corner cabinet, 36" with a SuperSusan (no pole in the middle) and a good lip on the sides. I LOVED it. Few things ever fell off. I loved baking in that corner as I had lots of room for the mixer, the ingredients etc. Many of the ingredients I kept in the Super Sue. Now I have a corner pantry. I wish to god when we renovated that I had yanked it out, put a flat pantry in elsewhere and had the same kind of corner configuration I had with the large super susan. I sometimes question those who hate this set up if they actually cook. But to be fair, if it works for you - great. If it does not and you prefer some other set up, so be it. It's your Kitchen.

For over 35 years, and three kitchens, the lazy susan has always been where I keep all my baking supplies. Flours, sugars, oils, oats, etc. I like it because everything is in front, as you spin. Also, there is space for little used items in the corners and sides.

My favourite solution for corner cabinets is: just leave there big stuff that you dont use often. The fondu, the big pot that you only use on big family meetings, the paella, the ice-cream machine or the 8 litre oil container. As they are big are easy to locate and pull over, and the esporadic use make it convenient and cheap

@@charvankerck9617 don't worry, I don't use them everyday, but I don't own stuff that I don't use nether. We have big family meetings every month, we use the fondue in friends meeting every season and the ice cream machine every week in summer time. Im Spanish, so the paella also see the light quite often. I won't consider any of it often, but it definitely has it's use. I agree anyway that is better getting ride of what you don't use enough. I had a waffle machine (was a present) or a yogurt maker (used to use, but now I have an electric oven) that I have given to other interested people. If you have the money and the space to keep something, and really want to try... Try it. If at the end you don't use it, just sell it or give it to someone else. And don't think that everyone has a similar lifestyle! As a Spanish citizen, we go out to nice restaurants with kids and babys, we dry the clothes outside with the sun and we love sitting on a table for hours after we finish eating. My USA friend used to work as babysitter, use a drying machine and doesn't understand why the waiter is not checking her if she had finished her food one hour ago. Maybe in my background, culture and personality, I use more often a paella than a toaster (I don't have one), but that doesn't make any of us better, just different.

Cleaning a corner cabinet in the inside seems like a nightmare to me.

The last has the most potential for my needs. I would make it a cart for our Kitchen Aid mixer. Flip the top back to rest on swing out legs for extra work surface and put the mixer on a lift shelf. Lower pullout shelves would hold all the accessories we have. We don't use it frequently and it takes up a lot of counter space. When in use, it's a half-day process of making our own pastry and large batch of sausages to freeze. I got the idea from cabinets made for sewing machines.

I've owned 4 houses and designed kitchens for each of them. The last two were galley kitchens with NO corner cabinets and a nearby walk-in pantry at one end and a dining area at the other end. It's a functional design that is hard to beat.

In my newish kitchen, which I helped design, I have two corner lazy Susans 12:15 , one on each side. The one near the stove holds basic staples, like rice, pasta etc. The other holds all my small appliances, Cuisinart , toaster, can opener, blender etc. Both are made of wood with deep sides. The food one has a shelf underneath the top tier, which means that nothing falls into the back. I like the convenience and ease of use.

I have one lazy susan cabinet that I use for smaller appliances, and I do like it for that. The things I use regularly I can grab just by opening the door, so I only need to spin it for stuff rarely use it. And with appliances, they are heavy enough to not fall over/off. The biggie was that I could afford this "upgrade," and the only other choice I could afford at the time was your basic blind cabinet. It would have worked similarly with rarely used stuff in the back, but I think access is easier this way. If I redo my kitchen again, I'll be in a place to have many more options!

I was waiting for you to give us your ideas. You only critisized and commented.

My old house had a different solution. There was a diagonal cabinet door in the corner- making a little more counter space above. Then there was a full lazy susan behind it- with a center pole and 4 special bins for each level with high sides so things didn’t fall off. Also easy to remove and wash. The same above for the upper cabinets but the lazy susans were smaller. Worked great.

My husband made a shelf for my mom about thirty years ago. It was that arrow shape one fixed shelfs on the sides. Each shelf could hold 100 pounds. This was about 33 years ago. She loved it she could get to the things she couldn't before. Her kitchen was small it gave her more storage. She had a hip replacement that made it more difficult to get to things.

Kraftmaid makes angled cabinets that fit on either side of the corner drawer bank. Kind of a modified blind corner but easier to reach in. No wasted space! My kitchen is too small to fit the corner drawers, but I used a left and a right angled cabinet and left a 6” open slot between them in the corner to store the stepstools I need every day.

We bought our home years after it was built. Yes we have a lazy susan and a pantry. The lazy susan holds all of our pots and pan with the exception of 3 pans I rarely use. 3 larger frying pans one of which is cast iron. I love that my pans are hidden and not below the stove where I have to dig for them.

Did you plant the guy with the Tupperware on the LaMans? 😂 I busted out laughing when he “proved” your point! 🤣 I’ve never had anything fall off my lazy Susan corner, but the back of the cabinet is curved with very little gap between the shelf and the back cabinet wall and I store heavy things on it.

At 15:40 the giant slide out and the hidden cabinet: you could put a safe in there, I suppose.😊

Way more interesting than seems possible! The thing about the “do nothing” solution: having seen the “stupid” ones where you get two cabinets with two doors instead of that one with the large open space and doors with a piano hinge; is that it’s way better to have the large open space. And you are charged more for that. I quite like it as large items seldom used could find a home in my kitchen. However, best thing is to not have corners. The thing we did with the peninsular is to put the dishwasher in the corner but in the back near the dining room table. Worked quite well for us.

I have a corner pantry and I love it. We extended our ground floor and have a largish (in respect of uk houses) open living space (kitchen, dining and living room) and this cupboard stores so much stuff. It’s different to the one you show as the doors are straight across rather than corner shaped so it has more floor space and more shelf space. Regular sized Uk houses rarely have a pantry anymore, ones that did have mostly had them removed, in my mind totally wrong move, but these corner pantries are great if you have a space for them.

The hidden cabinet.. great for a safe. for all your valuables and contraband

If you love your lazy Susan, that’s ok🥰. I’m looking for cabinet hardware and saw some “Pro” on Houzz say not use the same cabinet pulls throughout the house because it looks builder grade, be unique; I started to look at using different hardware in the baths than in the kitchen, then I decided I don’t care what she thinks, it took forever to find what I needed and I’m going to use it EVERYWHERE!

The best use of a corner cabinet, is design a kitchen without one 😂

My blind corner set up is kind of like the one with the 7 inch space but then the other part is large and instead of having a Lazy Susan, I just left it wide-open in there. No drawers, no shelves, etc. It holds large things like my dish strainer, a couple large plastic tubs, toolbox, etc. I actually like having that big empty space. and the small little space I put in a little separation type thing and I put my cutting boards and cookie sheets in there.

HA! That last one I couldn't help but hear the quote my friend ALWAYS says when she sees a small knick knack container (you know the ones... the useless ones): "You can put your ouid in there..."

We redid our kitchen a few years ago. We have three corner cabinets, two are on the dining room side and the third is a blind corner. My wife hates lazy susan corner cabinets. For the blind corner we did installed a lazy susan but at least each shelf rotates independently. For the two that back up to the dining room we installed ones with fixed shelves. I removed most of the rear plywood of each cabinet to provide access from both the front and rear. I made doors that match the paneling that covers the other cabinet rear. The doors are pretty unobtrusive. This makes the cabinets accessible from both the front in the kitchen and the entire cabinet from the dining room side. For the upper cabinet only one faces the dining room. We ordered that one with a door on the dining room side.

That is the best corner cabinet I have seen. The sliding drawers are amazing.. I also like the opening on the back side of an island

I Have a corner drawer bank. It’s brilliant. I don’t miss the corner spaces where stuff falls off a lazy Susan. Actually I have only drawers under the kitchen bench. No bending to dig so no head bangs on the bench above.

As a kitchen designer I think accessibility is key! If you have to move something to get to something then it's not as functional or accessible. The first slide out tray with the pull tray behind it looks like it would be a less expensive solution, UNTIL you consider what a pain it will be to get something off that back tray with items on the front tray in the way. Not to mention having to get down on the floor to reach it for an older person. That would irritate me to no end. The Magic Corner II is the MAC-Daddy of corner solutions, expensive yes, but if you are needing a solution for an "aging in place" situation it is worth the investment.

I live in a rental and the cabinet under the sink has a blind corner which I can't use because the pull out bins has to block it because of the plumbing. So I have actually thought about that first solution since I moved in and the fact that it works in that first example has pretty much solidified it completely.

We are deciding between kitchen redo and a/c lol so fun to watch!

I was already aware of most options presented and do not like any of them. During my build, I simplified and went with a one wall galley with the fridge bumping to one corner (with the wall side opening to a sizable walk-in pantry) and the opposite corner housing my double wall oven, a island that will seat 5 ppl and boom - done and happy!

I had a lazy Susan in my corner cabinet. Worked out just fine,

A lazy susan is better than nothing at all. My parents had 4 of them. The big one by the stove held all of Moms pots and pans. The other big one had bins divided into three sections that held flour and sugar. The 3rd bin was for back stock and plastic wrap like a Hoosier cabinet. One of the top ones held miscellaneous canned goods, and the other that was above the flour/sugar held spices, recipes and such. They worked very well.

I’ve seen pull out “islands” similar (but better executed) like the one at 16:10. On the ones I’ve seen they are on casters and have a handle on a false drawer front so you aren’t trying to pull it out by the door handles without opening the doors! 😆Once pulled out it had a butcher block top and a drawer that opened from the side. I think one I’ve seen was designed to be a baking cabinet so the surface height was lower for kneading and all the equipment used only when baking was stored inside. The ones I’ve seen were in the middle of a cabinet run and not designed as a corner solution.

Love the first one!!!!

We redid our kitchen after living in the house for 18 years. We used to have a corner sink and the dishwasher was to the right and the refrigerator is to the left and people would get pinned inside that space. We have a lazy Susan now in that corner. And we love it. We looked at blind corner options and and the lazy Susan just works the best for us to each their own

Great video with excellent corner options. I think on the peninsula corner, you can cut a hole and insert a wine refrigerator, instead of dog food storage. My husband put a dishwasher in ours that is accessible from the back of the peninsula, which isn't the optimum location, but I didn't have a spot for a dishwasher without redoing the whole kitchen. We are a year or two away from a kitchen remodel. I think in the scenarios where you have 15" deep drawers you could do a pop-up TV screen behind them. TFS

Best I have seen looks like a corner drawer bank, but when you pull on the handle it is actually a cart that pulls out. Once the cart is out of the way there are pie shaped shelves that swing into the area vacated by the cart.

This channel reminds me of of my old property management days. Every rehabber or fix it guy had the same stick, The other guy did bla bla bla, I would have..... Critics are abundant. I'd like this channel more if you were like the Mow guy from Florida. Once a month he helps out a working person, retired, single working mom etc he gives lessons on what He is DOING, he doesn't charge for his time. He values his clicks and Patron donations.

Why do you have to use that space in the kitchen? How about accessing it from the other room(s)? Ours could easily be accessed from the hall where I could really use the space for either one tall, skinny closet for cleaning stuff (mop, broom, vac etc) or, if I wanted to keep the corner counter area for the kitchen, two smaller cupboards above and below.

If you put wheels on the last one and a butchers block top on it it could be really functional as extra work space

I haven't done the math, but I agree with you, Mark: I don't think you get any more space from a corner drawer bank than you would by just losing the corner space and putting narrow but traditional drawers/cabinets in on either side.

I’ve got the pull-out lazy Susan, love it. There’s tons of storage.

I have two corner cabinets with lazy Susan’s. I love them they hold a ton of stuff.

I think the last one just gives you a good idea of where to hide something. I'll leave it at

The corner pullout cabinets are my favorite

Years ago I had the high sided wooden lazy susan in a corner cabinet. I still miss it, wish they still made them.

Nice 👍🏼 ideas 💡 😊❤👍🏼

Years ago when putting together a kitchen with second-hand cabinets I wound up with a very large empty corner. I put in a two-tier lazy susan with 45 cut out that filled the available space. It was great for extra large items. To solve the "drop off" problem there was a piece of linoleum that wrapped around to block the corners.

In my childhood home, we had two corners. One had a cart on wheels with big cleaning items behind, and the other had shelves for baking sheets and cake pans behind a box. One house had a vertical pop up from the counter. The other one I just left the door off and my little dog used it as her space when I cooked. I have a friend who uses a cupboard for her cat to hide.

I have a standard lazy Susan and I use it for all my small appliances. The top shelf holds a four slice toaster, my ninja foodie, cutting boards, standing up and a crock of utensils. The bottom shelf holds my hand mixer my food processor, my bullet plus accessories and a mini food processor. I’m pretty happy with this.

I actually really like the second last one. I've taken the two sides of the door apart and gave yhhem wide angle hinges because the weight if both was too much and the hinges kept breaking. That already made the cabinet way better. Im going to try to add that slide out and over ttpe thing too.

I love my magic chef corner cabinet. That and my lift for my dedicated kitchen aid mixer cabinet. Expensive but worth it.

I like the simple solution better. Plus it's cheaper. I can totally fit my large items there (large pots, pans, baking supplies I don't use often). The last solution seems unfinished but can be very interesting. It only needs wheels and that cabinet can be completely movable around the kitchen or even used to transport things from the kitchen to the bed side. Really good concept.

16:00 This is my leading idea. With wheels, of course. The back cabinet would be for seasonal items, like pie pans and other items that I only use for the holidays. The front cabinet would be a drawer bank for everyday use. Very deep drawers for baking items - which I badly need in that corner. Right now they're stored in the pantry that's on the other side of the kitchen. It's frustrating to have to trek back and forth to bring the containers of flour, sugar, baking powder, etc to get them out and again to put them back. I'm doing a LOT of carts in my remodel because of this problem.

The last one..😂 is less expensive than a "safe"

My grandma had a couple of quarter moon and half moon ‘pull outs’ my dad’s dad and cousins designed it.

Also..off topic..I had my contractor use pieces of my laminate flooring planks as "toe kicks" under my new base cabinets. It looks great, shows no scuffs and I was able to return originally purchased toe kick strips to the big box store for a credit.

Yeah. Island seating is overrated IMO. I tell people to measure their laps and then design the overhang to fit that distance.

The corner lazy susan without a high rail is the WORST. We had one when I was a kid and a can of food fell off in the back. It sat there for months, hanging the lazy susan up every once in awhile or making a 'clunking' sound whenever we turned it. Finally my mother had enough. The entire thing was stripped bare and it was my job to get in there to fetch the offending can. It was a struggle and we finally got it by me curling around the rod and my mom turning the whole thing around so i could reach it. It was wedged. Of course. I'd say it was an hour of work to empty, crawl, roll, pry, reorganize and put everything back total. Horrible. About a week later ANOTHER can fell off. We never bothered to fetch it out. The entire house pretended that it wasn't there for a few years until we moved. When we moved, we left the stupid can.

I think the one at 15:45 is a good idea if you are hiding something expensive you need to look at once a year. 😂

I just bought a house that in this crazy market I got all of 10 minutes in before joining the multiple bids and won’t be able to move into anytime soon because a loan leaseback, ha. Now I can’t wait to see what’s going on with the corner kitchen cabinets because I definitely didn’t open them. It will be a fun surprise! 😅

I have 2 lazy Susan’s in 2 corners from IKEA!!! They are extremely strong!!!

As an aging adult: I want something that I don't have to crouch down on the ground to either pull out, or shift around finding things. The "magic" corner solution seems best. After that, I love the pull out corner drawers with the side shelves that spin around. Not sure what it was called in this.

That is why my kitchen designer and I built the kitchen without corners.

The lazy Susan with drawers was very cool

For me, the corner drawers are nice in a LARGE kitchen, especially for older folks. It provides full, easy access when youre afforded adequate storage space elsewhere. There's one situation where the corner pantry was the best solution for me (as the cabinet designer). It was kind of a cramped G-shaped kitchen and she wanted a tall oven cabinet. As opposed to doing a corner tall oven, i was able to shift it over, go into the corner pantry, and avoid a weird inaccessible counter space in a corner.

Thankyou

Currently, I have a hinged corner cupboard with an L-shaped shelf, recessed so it only goes around the perimeter of the cabinet, allowing better access to the stuff at the back of the bottom of the cabinet. It's pretty functional, but whoever built the kitchen also put 2 4" drawers on either side (so tiny and barely functional and you can't open them at the same time). I'm looking for a simple option and found one that I did not see you review (probably because it is close to a 'do nothing' solution, like that one dude. Ha ha). Just have 2 shelves installed at 90deg with the bottom shelf 12"" high across the right side, and the top shelf about 24"" high (or whatever vertical space available) across the left side. This leaves HIGH storage space in 2 areas (bottom left; middle shelf on right), perfect for a blender, instant pot, soda stream machine, or other tall appliance storage; Then there are a couple of smaller areas that can be used too -- ordinary baskets that fit she shelves full of like-stuff are great for the corner cabinets. I'm having them remove the stupid useless drawers! LOL

I love the lazy Susan one with the slide out parts near the beginning of the video! That one cabinet probably holds that same amount that all my cabinets currently do (my kitchen has zilch for cabinet space).

The corner cabinet with one shelf works for storage of occasionally used small appliances. It holds alot of stuff.

12:27, the do nothing gin, is kind of right. The one time I’ve had to deal with it, is used different sized tubs and plastic dish pans to contain collections of whatever I stored in there. Nothing was directly on the shelf.

I agree, I am not a fan of the corner pantry. However I like that shelving (no lazy Suzan) in the corner just fine. I would just put a few large items that I don’t use very much. In the video he pointed out how much space is wasted with corner drawers, that’s a cup half full take. It’s really about how much space was recovered. I feel the same way about just shelves with no lazy Suzan put a few large items. They may not take up a use all that space but then you save room where you otherwise would have had to store them.

"takes the cake" idea is a portable island, with a bac cubbard

Pie corner has a marble counter top..perfect for rolling pastry which needs a cool surface ideally.

Stationary shelves in blind corner but make top shelf 1/2 deep. Use it to store appliances not used too often.

I had a home health client have her house redone after a fire. She had them knock down half the kitchen wall and have a peninsula. They put all access to the cabinet only on the kitchen side. They ppl should start putting access to the back corner on the OTHER side to put board games, wax melts, anything! But NOBODY can get into the back without pulling everything out making it virtually useless

The cabinet behind and to the side of the other cabinet is a good place for a safe. It should be hard to find and hard to access. And should be fitted out like a safe...metal, locks and all that. And how many thieves would look in a place like that for hidden valuables. And no wheels on the pullout. In fact use velcro to make it harder to access. Just an idea.

The penultimate video kinda looks like a snippet from some escape room puzzle :D you pull out one cabinet to reveal another hidden one with the key to let you out :D

A corner with a lace to store your pots and pans would be nice. ..

We had an unusable corner too. My husband put a short hot water heater in it...😂

There are some interesting ideas here. Thanks for putting this together. One thing I notice with some ideas - like the Le Mans - is that they need a certain amount of space outside the corner to be able to use them. My kitchen is a U shape with barely 30 ins between the opposite cabinets. I think I will take the bottom of the U through to the wall and then there will be two straight runs of cabinets facing each other and both corners can be full height regular cabinets (or fridge, etc.)

This is a very important thing to consider. Thanks for mentioning it.

The pull out cabinet one at the end- If you want a rolling cart, that Is the perfect place to store it.

Our kitchen has a lazy Susan style corner unit. It's our favourite part of the kitchen (other than the cooker). Unlike most of these style corner units though, the doors are fixed to the shelves and rotate with them. When the doors close they are flush with the adjacent cabinets.

When innovation and practicality don't go together...
