Organize Blind Kitchen Base Cabinets

Organize Blind Kitchen Base Cabinets


A blind corner cabinet is sometimes referred to as a corner cabinet because it's often found in corners around the kitchen. The blind name comes from the fact that you can't see the back of the cabinet or the sides, which remain behind existing cabinets. Manufacturers make pieces specifically designed to fit into a blind cabinet space and give you room to organize the space. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Use a lazy Susan on the top shelf of the cabinet and one on the bottom shelf. A lazy Susan spins, giving you quick access to items in the back of the cabinet without having to remove the front items first.


2. Attach a hanging basket onto the blind cabinet door. A hanging basket features curved pieces at the top that hang over the top of the cabinet door. Place smaller items here, as the baskets aren't very strong.


3. Install a blind corner system in the base cabinet. This system features several baskets attached to a central slide that reaches deep into the blind cabinet's base. When you pull open the cabinet door, the baskets pivot outward to give you full access to the items located in the storage areas.


4. Store less-often-used items in the blind base cabinet, including larger pots you only use a few times a year or specialty serving dishes you don't have room for in the rest of the kitchen. This will allow you to make use of the space without worrying about accessing the cabinet constantly.


5. Use the space to organize items of a specific type, such as baking products. Keep spices and seasonings on the cabinet door basket and use the lazy Susan to store flour and sugar. Place baking sheets and other dishes on the bottom of the cabinet.
