You could store bagged items up there- chips, bagged dried beans, bagged powdered sugar, And have one of those grabby things handy to get the bags down when you need them.

I'm height-challenged so the upper shelves of all of my kitchen cabinets house holiday decorations that I only use once a year. I can only reach the lowest shelf without a step ladder and that's a stretch, so rarely used items like specialty vinegars and oils are arranged in bins on the lowest shelf so I can pull the whole bin out and I don't lose things in the back.

That said, those corner cabinets aren't very efficient. Maybe someone else will come up with a great idea, but I would suggest using a lazy susan on the bottom shelf so you can view everything easily. I would store lightweight, seldom used items on the upper shelves.

Do you have backstock of things like large spice containers that you decant to smaller containers or storage bags?

soup mugs--use once a year, beer mugs--use 3 times a year coasters--use 0 times a year

bottom shelf holds glass drinking cups--use 2 times a month. My daughter puts one serving tray or one serving bowl on each shelf.

I used entire my upper corner cabinet for my good china.

I have all of my coffee/tea essentials in there, along with some glass containers. Top shelf is used for items that don't get used much, such as...taco holders, popsicle makers, etc.

In my uppers, I store rarely used items like lunchboxes, cake keepers, decorating kits and my peanut oil which is heavy and bulky.

Whatever you don't use often - like things you only pull out on special occasions - so you can use a step stool those few times to get in there. Holiday decorations, fondue set, whatever.

I don’t have any myself, but storing china you rarely use or other rarely used things sounds reasonable. I’m 5’5” myself and I’d hate to have to pull out a step-stool to reach items I use a lot!

I store holiday decorations up there. Ceramic pieces etc.

Yeah, they’re kinda bad. I’ve got two. One of mine ”doesn’t count” because it’s the corner to the peninsula so it opens from both sides and as such quite accessible. My challenge here is that it’s poorly organized, with kitchen stuff accessible from the inside, and non-kitchen stuff from the outside. The two halves are always fighting for space, each trying to crowd the other out!

The other one is more what you’ve got, and if there’s organization here it’s to keep larger common items front and center, so that they're accessible and I don’t have to move much to access what’s behind. For example, on the bottom shelf I have my nested glass bowl set. I can easily reach across that to pull out a box grater, some nested stainless bowls, etc. Light stuff. The second shelf has my pyrex measuring cups up front, smaller dry measuring cups as well. Pull a couple of these out and now I can reach some more light items like strainers. Next shelf gets a bit more obsure but same principle. I've got a light 4qt plastic tub that I use for a variety of things, remove that and I can reach my stacked aluminum proofing tubs and some smaller baking pans. Top shelf is just a mess of less used metal bakeware. I hate when I have to go up there, because inevitably what I'm looking for is buried.

ps: Are you sure you can’t cross-post? This was fixed for me two days ago. I just tested (and deleted) and had no problem linking to the three forums.

I have a few things I cannot reach and dont need to reach in mine. DH keeps his boxes Costco coffee 'way up there', He can reach - I cannot but we don't drink the same coffee. He breads and cooks all the razor clams and his implements for accomplishing that also out of my reach. I do keep some seldom used largest salad bowls and footed cake plates, also vases in that 'Mt Everest' row of shelves. But I was considering a dessert for Monday to be baked in a two piece angel food pan i have not used in a very long time - of course could not find it, DH had to help look. Problem was not only can I not reach up there, I can't completely see either. My cake pan was in the back of the very top shelf. It's out and down now and likely even dusty.

I calmed down my annoyance by reminding myself this kitchen was built in 1955 and not perfect. Neither am I 😊

I have the blind corner cabinet. On the top shelf I store plastic containers. I have two plastic bins with handles on the short side that I use as a pull out where I keep the lids stored in the blind storage area.

On the 2nd shelf I store measuring cups and on the bottom shelf, I store large mixing bowls. These are all stackable items so I can take them out easily to get to the blind storage behind.

Looking at your picture, I would take out one of the top shelves as, unless you were storing platters or trays of some sort, it would get completely lost in the back as the height is so tight. I agree to not store heavy items up top. Perhaps if you need storage for light-weight picnic items like styrofoam cups, napkins, paper plates...

I would also consider adding lazy susans so that you could get easier access to the stuff in the back.

DH and I are not tall people, so we actually put glass-fronted cabinetry above for display with lighting as we figured we'd never be able to reach the top of the cabinetry. So for us, the upper most would probably stay empty.

Downstairs in my craft room, I have a corner lower cabinet without a lazy susan so I added large plastic bins...3 on each shelf... left, right and center, which I can slide forward or backward like drawers to get at the stuff inside. Maybe some version of that would make accessing the back easier.

I don't have any corner cabinets like that, and my kitchen reno was finished in December.

I would leave them empty, and then when I would have something that I could not find any place to store, I might put that in there.

If I had seasonal items (and I do not), I might store those there.

I might use it for storing equipment I use for pickling, as that is something I use occasionally but not all that often, and it I stored it all together, I would know where it is, even though I would not need to access it that often.

Lots of good ideas. I have some assorted bakeware and pans in the basement I only use a few times a year, maybe some of that stuff could go up top, along with the emergency supply of paper plates and such for when we lose power. Hmmm...I'll have to go through the storage closet in the basement and see what I could move upstairs.

I had a cupboard like that next to the stove and used a big lazy susan on the bottom shelf for spices, and the upper shelves housed fancy, less used dishware and floral vases.

”…along with the emergency supply of paper plates and such for when we lose power.”

👍🏻!

Even worse than what's pictured is having the over-counter cabinet running straight to the perpendicular wall, rather than sitting in the corner at a 45-degree angle. I have two of the former. For them, not only is the height the challenge but also having to lean over the counter to get one's hand to the far corner.

My wife can't reach higher shelves even when it's straight on, though I can. We have stepstools stored nearby which she rarely uses. Usually, she leaves things out or crams them into a lower shelf space, to wait for me to come along to return them to their allotted spot.

I got a glass door for mine and put pretty things for display in there.

It's a cavern otherwise, and I am short besides. Fortunately I don't need it for storage, so I went in the pretty rather than functional direction.

I have the 2 useless cabinets over the microwave and fridge. I store bags of chips in one by microwave and the other is empty as I can't reach it without a step

No corner cabs, but I have a double cabinet over my stove. I am on the shorter side and had concerns over storing hard/heavy things causing possible damage to the induction cooktop below, so I store paper towels up there which I can knock out and catch without any issues.

The over the refrigerator cabinets I keep cookie tins Christmas glasses & plates. Holidays stuff I don't use much.
