need advice about sink at corner

Micheline Smith

14 years ago

Hello,

So many people here helped me a few months ago and I have been rethinking my layout options. So now I am interested in seeing pictures of sinks close to a corner (from right at the face of the perpendicular cabinets to within about 6" of the corner) but only seem to be able to come up with pictures of the sink in the corner, no matter how many times I have tried! Any inspiration pics that you have stashed (or can find) would really be appreciated, and if anyone has this setup I would love to know how it works for you.

Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

I had a sink tucked up against a corner in my first house. It was a tiny u-shaped kitchen and that setup worked great except for the rather bizarre decision to place the DW on the opposite corner instead of next to the sink. Very hard to load a DW when the door drops down across the front of the sink! Never could understand why they did that when there was plenty of room to the side of the sink. Anyway, the only issue that I had (besides the ridiculous placement of the DW) was that it made it difficult for more than one person to work at the sink. But the kitchen was tiny and really only a one butt kitchen anyway. Otherwise I found the corner counter was a great place to keep the dish rack.

Found some pictures for you. Hope they help.

My sink is right on a corner with the dishwasher to the right next to it. This set-up is basically a one-person sink, in that one person can work here comfortably. A quick rinse from the right hand side is okay, but no more than that. It works fine for us (2-person household), but it is something to consider. HTH, Petra
