Behold the rebel uprising in the kitchen realm: the resurgence of corner-less cabinets, both base and wall!

Straight runs with sleek lines offer a look so streamlined, it’s practically the kitchen’s version of a red-carpetwalk. This minimalist marvel banishes the notorious dead zone, affectionately known as the ‘Graveyard for Pots and Pans from The Land That Time Forgot’.

Picture this: pre-mid-20th century kitchens, quaint little utility closets dedicated solely to food wrangling and culinary exploits. None of those fancy, well-equipped spaces were spoiled with today. Corners only got their moment of glory in the swinging 60s and groovy 70s. That’s when design maestros and crafty manufacturers put on their thinking caps to maximise every inch. Enter the Lazy Susans and pull-out carousels, swooping in to elevate the humble corner cabinet to legendary status!

Swooping in to elevate the humble corner cabinet to legendary status!

In kitchens across bustling metropolises and countryside havens alike, corner storage reigns supreme. Every nook and cranny is accounted for, as if the kitchen’s blueprint were etched in stone, maximising every square inch. Corner cabinetry, with its penchant for extras and gadgetry, has been the industry’s golden goose. But now, enter the sleek and chic galley-style designs of yesteryear!

They offer the freedom of standalone or custom fit units, with base runs sporting uncomplicated worktops, leaving no room for tricky joints and wasteful mitering. Dare we pose a sustainability query? Surely, straightforward worktop cuts are a breeze to recycle compared to their bespoke counterparts?

And let’s not forget the ease of accessibility! For now, the corner cabinet sits safely on its throne, but a whiff of trepidation in the air wouldn’t be entirely unfounded!
