blind corner cabinet

I have a blind corner cabinet in my kitchen. I have to keep the main footprint of the room as it is a galley style kitchen with very limited options. The corner I am referring to must remain as is in order to accomodate the range.

When walking through my Ikea I fell in love with the variety of options; the great prices was the clincher. I downloaded the planner but can't seem to find a cabinet that is designed for a blind corner. Am I missing something? I am really hoping there is an option for my kitchen so I can continue my planning.

Thanks!
Cindy

Re: blind corner cabinet

Welcome! In the planner the 49" corner unit is intended to be used blind. Many people prefer to buy a 36" cab, leave about 6" space in the corner, and use the Lee Valley corner insert. That saves you 7" in the kitchen and you get just as much usable space.

Go ahead and post your planner files so we can see what you're facing! You never know, there might be yet another option...

Re: blind corner cabinet

Word to the wise, when using two cabinets as a corner, making them oppose one another, plan in a large amount of filler to allow for the opening of drawers and doors. Also plan in at least 2" for a handle. I have seen entire kitchens come crashing down over 2". But post your plan and we can always help.
