What is Up with The Kitchen Corners?

Most kitchen designs have at least 1-2 corners which are included in their layout. To make use of most of it, you will probably need a few corner cabinets. Below are discussions on some glass display cabinets that could be set up in these corner spots.

Base Blind Corner

A Base Blind Corner or BBC, as kitchen designers love to call it, has grown popular in the last 10 years, more so when the kitchen designs are becoming more streamlined.

The BBCs usually has a door (full height), or a door and a drawer, which is found hinged left or right and opens at 95 degrees. The ‘blind’ panel is made to match the cabinet door or at least near to it. These come with adjustable shelves that work best for heavy items.

These corner cabinets have standard sizes of 39, 42, 45, and 48 inches, and architects suggest installing them 1-3 inches away from the wall.

Homeowners who have stayed with small BBCs may refrain from installing it again since the opening can be very small to get access to the things stored inside. Thus, people look forward to upgrading it or add to it a pull-out accessory.

Base Corner Corner

The BCC or Base Corner Corner is a very commonly seen glass cabinet in kitchens. In BCC, you get a bifold door design. It consists of two doors and is connected with a knuckle hinge. These swing doors open easily allowing them to lay flat, or almost flat.

The standard sizes that the BCCs are available in are 33, 36, and 39 inches. While the larger BCC cabinets have wider openings, making them more accessible inside, the smaller ones have just the opposite.

A standard BCC is found equipped with an adjustable shelf inside usually. If you have a bigger budget, you can also ask your manufacturer to add shelves to make it more efficient.

Corner Drawers

It is quite an unforgettable moment when a person experiences corner drawers for the first time. Why is it special? Because they are the most innovative. Base corner drawers usually come in a three-drawer configuration in sizes 36 and 42 inches.

The corner drawers will give you the most ergonomic experience with abundant storage space.

But they are a costly affair because of the cost of the materials and high making-charge as it needs intricate work.

Base Angle Corner

The BAC or Base Angle Corner is another option for corner cabinets. They come in one full height door, or one drawer, and a door configuration with hinges which open up to 95 degrees. The standard sizes are 33 and 36 inches.

Though the angled front is a reason for not choosing BACs, since they cost you more money. For fuller glass display cases in the kitchen, you would require more filler pieces, more millwork that results in higher installation charges. Another thing that increases the cost would be countertop costs. The capping off the corner angle with a piece of granite or marble is high priced because you would need a bigger slab to get the right proportions.

To Conclude,

You cannot avoid using corner cabinets in a kitchen unless you have a straight patch of space as your kitchen. An average kitchen would have at least one corner so it is important that your plan it well.
