How to maximise your space with kitchen corner units

Put simply, the reason why kitchen corner units are so popular, is their storage opportunities. By making better use of limited and unused space, they improve access to hard-to-reach areas, and free-up worktop space, leaving you with an organised kitchen for cooking, eating and entertaining.

Corner storage units are beneficial for all types of kitchens, but they can be especially ideal if you have a small kitchen, as these units can help them to appear bigger.

There are several types of corner units for you to choose from, depending on your kitchen layout and style.

Keep your kitchen contents at your fingertips with a curved pull-out corner cabinet.

The manoeuvrable cabinet gives maximum access; making those difficult spaces easy to reach – ideal for heavier items you don't want to damage.

If you’re wondering what to put in a corner kitchen cabinet, curved base corner storage units are ideal for stowing away bulky kitchen essentials such as spice racks, wine coolers and tin trays. To retrieve, simply pull the contents towards you in one easy motion.

Double your cupboard space with magic corner cabinets.

Two complete storage units are attached to one another in a single corner cabinet – one is secured to the inside of the door and, on opening, automatically pulls the other one forward in a seamless motion.

Ideal for storing pots and pans; there's no need to bury them deep in an unused corner.

In contrast to the pull-out mechanism, corner carousel units rotate (just like a carousel) and are best suited to corners and L-shaped kitchens.

Trays are fixed inside the corner kitchen cabinet and simply swivel, so it's easy to see every item in the cupboard.

Opt for a half carousel if you simply need access to hard-to-reach corners, but if you want to maximise your storage space, choose the three-quarter carousel corner storage cabinet.

Kitchen drawers seem to attract all of those odds and ends that don't have a designated home.

If you have an awkward corner in your kitchen, utilise the small space with a corner drawer – a place to keep cutlery clean and accessible.

Once installed, keep the drawers organised with dividers and trays to maintain a neat and tidy finish, sectioning your utensils to suit your everyday needs.

There are a few factors you’ll need to consider when choosing the right corner storage unit for your kitchen.

Most importantly, you need to consider how much space you have. Measure your internal kitchen cabinet units and drawers, and take the dimensions from the inside of the frames, as that’s where the storage mechanisms will be fitted.

Once you’ve determined which size corner kitchen cupboards you can have, it’s time to choose your colour. Our corner units are available in a wide choice of door styles and colours, and can be matched perfectly to your current kitchen décor.

Making the most of your kitchen space can be a challenge, but re-working your kitchen's storage doesn't have to be a big project.

When every pot, pan and utensil has its own designated space, cooking in the kitchen becomes quicker and simpler.
