I was wondering if these are practical? I have no choice but to include 3 of them, each to the side of the corner wall cabinet, I wish they have a wall corner solution just like the floor one, would have been perfect, currently the corner plus a 12" cabinet (25"+12") = width of floor one 37"

It just seems like you have 10"x10" inside and it might not be very useful but it's better than no cabinet?

You can also create a blind corner cab on the wall by using just one door on the cab that's partly covered, with a bit of filler next to it and between it and the perpendicular cab, so that the handles will clear one another. In your case the advantages of larger cabs might mitigate the disadvantages of the blind corner.

I don't understand, what do you mean by blind corner?

But do you think inside the 12" wide cabinet it's hard to get stuff?
If I put the seasoning and stuff it would seem like you need to shuffle alot to get to something.

I would be more inclined to put glassware in 12" cabs than small items which would get lost at higher elevations, but that's true for any cab. We have a 12 base cab which we keep plastic wraps, water bottles, etc.. in. It works well for that but we have more depth, obviously.

Here's a pic of what a blind corner would look like--sorta. I can't make the planner show the door changes. You'd use one 36" cab and one 24" cab (I think you'll have enough room but the non-blind side is the tightest and might depend on handle depth because you only have 1" of wiggle room). The 24" cab gets a 1" filler next to the 36" cab. The blind 36" cab is purchased w/o doors. In lieu of the standard doors, probably the next best thing is a single 21" door, which gives you a 3" filler strip next to the 24" cab. You'd probably use cover panel for filler. The deep tucked in part of the blind corner is the place to keep the holiday serving items, the ugly vase from Aunt Sue that you can't throw away because it was a wedding gift, etc.

The choice of how to do corners is a total trade off. There are advantages both ways!

I've also seen cases where people complete disregarded the corner - just butt two 24" cabinets up against eachother and leave that 12"x12" space hidden as an empty, inaccessible hole. Cons - you lose some space. Pros: All the space you have is easy to access.

I have a couple of these in my kitchen. THey're not great, but they're usable. In one, I keep all my tupperware like thingies. I use this:

Smart Spin - Smart Spin Storage System Containers

And it makes it very usable.

IN the other one I keep vinegars, cooking wine, oils, hot sauces, etc. It's rather hard to get to things, but it's definitely better than nothing.

I think glasses are ideal because then you can organize them so that it's the identical item from front to back so you never have to get to the back of the cabinet. Also, if you have dishes that are on the small side, this would be perfect for those.

I am also interested in what storage purpose people use a 12" x 39" wall cab. I will most likely have two in my new kitchen to help with some symmetry, flanking "three" glass-front cabs (really one 18" and one 36"). I would prefer to put my glassware and stemware in the glass-front cabs. Food items will be going in the cabs on the other wall (where there will also be one pantry tall cab). I was envisioning using the 12" for things like measuring cups, misc mugs, pitchers, ramekins, other small prep/baking items, and the like.

We have one and use it for our coffee beans, water jug, tea boxes, pitchers and creamers and sugar containers etc. It's right above the coffeemaker so it's perfect for that.

I have a 12" wide base cabinet that is hugely useful, it holds all my spices, herbs, oils, vinegars, cutting boards....it's amazing what you can store in that small a space! I added an extra drawer so I have three shallow drawers and one deeper on at the bottom.

I don't have any 12 inch cabs - smallest I have is 15 inch but that being said i do use baskets/bins and the new plastic containers from Ikea (Rationell Variera - 11 3/8" wide to coral all of my oils etc - enables me to get everything from the back. That could be a solution for you.

I also did a blind corner in my kitchen for symmetry for my window and it turned out great.

Good luck

I have two of the 12x39" wall cabinets, and I find them plenty useful. We have ours set up in a hutch formation on either side of the sink, and we store all of our dishes and bowls in one and glasses and vitamins/supplements in the other.

Re: 12x39" wall cabinets practical? 

It's wonderful being able to stand in front of the sink next to the dishwasher and put dishes away without taking extra steps.
