Organizational Tips Blind Corner and L Shaped Cabinet
1. Consider what you put in the cabinet wisely. Therefore, put things that you don't use as much in it.
2. Limit the items you store in the cabinet so that everything is not crammed into the corner. Cut back on what you put in the blind corner cabinet and make sure each item has its place on the shelf without stacking things.
3. Consider putting a lazy Susan or magic corner in the blind cabinet, this turntable will help you access the cabinet more easily.
4. If you have a bigger budget, there are several choices that can make life easier. Instead of a lazy Susan buy a pull out lazy Susan, it is the perfect optimizer that allows easier accessibility of the unit.
5. Remember it is your home so it is important to consider what is best for you. Ask yourself how the space would work for you, even if you are going against everything you have learned. You don't need to be traditional, what's important is that whatever solution you choose, it is to your own preference.
6. Another great idea is to light the cabinet up. Since you cannot see inside the cabinet properly, visibility is important and by placing lights in the corner it enables you to see and find the items you need. Battery operated, self-adhesive lights are easy to find in stores and will help when you are looking for that item you need.
7. Don’t put as many items in the back of the cabinet. Instead, put specialty items in the back of the cabinet, things you are not going to use as much. That way when you need to find items for that significant event, you will know where they are.
8. If you have higher L shaped/ blind cabinets use a step stool to help you reach them. You could even put ornate glass-wear at the back of those shelves.
9. Bottom corner/L shaped cabinets are best for storing cumbersome items because they are usually large enough to store those things. For example; blender. Crock pot, chocolate fountain are the types of item for these cabinets.
10. An awesome idea for bottom L shaped/blind corner cabinets is to make them into a recycle and garbage storage solution. If you consider that this storage is already throwaway space, then why not devote some time to put it into practice? Trash bags, bins or baskets are good items to place inside for other waste disposal needs.
11. Although you have all that left over space to fill, fight against the need to overfill the cabinet. Yes, there is a lot of room in the cabinet which is tempting but, you don't have to fill it packed to the brim. It will be even harder to reach things and gain access to them, if the cabinet is too full. You are also likely to forget what is in the cabinet which means remainders of food could well attract rodents.
12. Although there are plenty of storage solutions that cost money, there are also free items that you can make yourself. Get a cereal box and snip it at the corners so it resembles a magazine holder, place plastic wrap, silver foil and other items in these.
13. Lightweight, smaller items are best placed inside a shoe box for easy access. A pizza pan makes for a great lazy Susan and does not cost the initial outlay.
14. Completely remove the doors from your cabinet and place big hooks on the top to hang items from.
