Rectangular corner base cabinet??

18 years ago

My kitchen is tiny and I need to use the base corner. If I get a 33" base corner (with a susan, maybe) one side will throw my sink base off so the sink will not center with the window. I have two questions for you experts.

1. Can I cut onto the top of a 33" base corner cabinet with the top of my sink to center it, or

2. Can my contractor make me a corner cabinet that is 30" wide by 33 or 36 inches long? I know the two doors that are hinged would be different sizes, but it won't really show because the corner is not really exposed when you walk in the kitchen. An alternative would be an angled door, but I would really prefer the hinged, pie cut door look. I'm desperate, so thanks.

Hi...Not sure how much you are off regarding centering your sink in front of your window, but believe me, you won't notice and inch or two.

1. Depends on how much you want to cut into your cabinet..yes you can (we did this once) but it was only a small bit, like an inch or so).

2. Depends on your contractor, can he make you a custom cabinet? Cabinet manufacturers make these "asymmetrical" cabinets, so I would think a skilled carpenter could as well.

Good luck!

I have a corner sink in a 33" base. I guess I'm confused...why won't it center? Mine did just fine (my sink is huge).

Have you considered insetting the cabinet to give you access to the deeper portion of the base?

Is it possible for you to post a proposed layout? It would be very helpful. FWIW, It is possible that instead of centering your sink under the window, a corner sink in a diagonal base cabinet might be a better solution. I really think you would be better off with a blind corner cabinet though instead of a 33 inch corner and cutting into it for the sink. JMHO G

Can you center the faucet under the window, even if the sink is not centered? I think hardly anyone, including me, would notice if the sink were centered if the faucet were centered.
