Kitchen corner base cabinet

9 years ago

We are remodeling our kitchen and I am looking at possibly having an angled corner cabinet with a straight front and drawers that go straight in, rather than a lazy susan etc.

I cannot find anything that gives dimensions for one. I can find dimensions for a corner sink cabinet, but not one with drawers that go straight in.

Does anyone have drawers like this, that could tell me the dimensions(how far out on each wall-36? 42? and the front width) or a site that shows the dimensions.

Are the dimensions just like a corner sink base cabinet? Are there different standard sizes like a sink cabinet(36, 38, 42)?

Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have an angled corner, with a super susan and a drawer on top. The cabinet box is 36"x36"; I'm not home right now, or I'd measure the front face. I know the drawer isn't as wide as the one in the 20" cab next to it. My cabinets were built by a local cabinet maker, so he could do whatever I asked for, in any dimension.

Are corner drawers the most efficient use of the space? In my other corner, I closed off the corner completely, and put drawers on both sides, which I love.

I had two goals with my angled corner cabinet (which is not very popular at GW): I wanted a knife drawer above, and I wanted some extra counter depth to allow room for a counter MW in the corner.

If drawers are the best option, I would much rather angle the cabinet than use drawers with a V front.

I don't care for the drawers with the V front. I'm thinking an angled corner cabinet that is straight on the front with drawers that go straight in like regular drawers, like in this photo.

I'd like to know if anyone has them and if so what the different sizes for the cabinet are(same as corner sink? 36, 39, 42) or different and front dimension.

Is there a site anyone knows of that shows dimensions for corner drawers like this?

Hi...Not sure how much you are off regarding centering your sink in front of your window, but believe me, you won't notice and inch or two. 1. Depends on how much you want to cut into your cabinet..yes you can (we did this once) but it was only a small bit, like an inch or so). 2. Depends on your contractor, can he make you a custom cabinet? Cabinet manufacturers make these "asymmetrical" cabinets, so I would think a skilled carpenter could as well. Good luck!

KItchenAid Mixer Storage in Corner Base Cabinet

My mom had her mixer on a raisable stand like this in her 1969 custom built house. We used it regularly as kids and definitely made cooking fun. Never had any problems with it (no pinched fingers or mixer falling off although we were cautioned about both frequently). If I had another 6 feet of counter space available in my current kitchen I'd definitely allocate 2 feet of it for this -- but I don't. We don't have a trash pullout so that's a high priority addition as we are tired of bumping into the trash can. The more I think about it the more it seems like a heavy weight pullout at the bottom of the pantry makes the most sense. That way it will be out of the way most of the time but accessible when needed.

13" door. Same drilling distance for hinge cup. 150-165° for the main hinges, pie corner hinge for the other. The plates for the pie cut are located different distance.

IKEA corner base cabinet width at 47" ?
Q
Comments (10)
It has absolutely nothing to do with the metric system - IKEA makes separate products for the "imperial" market than they do for Europe. That cabinet has a 21" door, plus a 2" filler, add in the 24" width for the corner and you get 47". That filler is integrated into the cabinet and isn't really adjustable without some hacking. It's doable, but does require some DIYing. And yes, you need a filler for your wall cabinets.

I originally wanted an angled corner with a super susan like annkh has. We went with what she has in the other corner, closing the corner off and putting drawers on both sides.

Anyone have angled cabinet in the corner with drawers? If so, what are the dimensions?

I have a 42" corner sink cabinet, with a tilt out tray at the top below the sink, although if it were a bank of drawers the dimension would be the same. The opening for the tilt out, and doors below is 22.5" Mine are face frame construction, if you are going frameless, you will net more width. From inside corner to inside corner it is about 25.5"
... I did a little geometry layout, and with a 39" base you will get about 21" across the diagonal, and with 36" you will get about 17" then less whatever face frame width if applicable. Hope that helps...
Edit to add- these dimensions are based on standard 24" deep base cabinets, (deeper bases will lessen the diagonal dimension)

Not sure if this will help but I thought I'd share my corner cooktop with drawers below. The base cabinet is 36" wide.

I had the same configuration in our previous home and really liked it so duplicated it in our new build. As you can see, the cabinet is push back about 4".
