I have 2 corners like that. In one I have my KA, in the other I have an antique pedestal waffle iron.

Another idea might be a nice large fruit bowl filled up.

Triangular-shaped spice rack?

I also keep my KA mixer there on a diagonal.

I wouldn't put anything there. I have the same thing! I hate clutter on the counter. Yours looks nice the way it is.

I thought I should add , the jar next to the coffee pods holds Shih Tzu treats.

What if you just got a larger jar for treats? Move that to the corner.

Move over the treat jar and add couple more jars or other items to make a nice grouping.
A cute small lamp (I have an old fashion teapot lamp)
Tiered basket/stand for fruit.

When I re-do my kitchen hopefully really soon I will try to put something in the corner that is pretty but functional - probably tiered fruit stand.

oh good - snacks with coffee!

how about your coffee maker there? I put my mw there on the diagonal. works fine for me and I use mine a lot. but I live alone and do little cooking. The amount of counter showing in your pic is what I have plus a ft of it right of the sink and a ft to the left of my stove.

I also did away with my canisters yrs ago 'cause I just didn't use enough of things to fill 'em up anymore.

I do think the corner looks fine empty but maybe try the treat containers and post a pic of that.

Towel pig.

You could put a picture, framed saying, clock, or decorative plate on a tripod stand in the corner; whatever would appeal to you and make you smile when you see it.

Or, if you don't have a good place for a kitchen hand towel, a small towel stand and towel could go there.

I think it looks fine, but I have my Kitchenaid mixer in a deep corner.

I'd put the coffee maker in the corner with the pods on one side and the treat jar on the other. And I think even that is a lot.

But I dealing with clutter on the counters so YMMV.

I tried putting the treat jar in the corner. It looked good when I flanked it with 2 copper treat pots. The problem is, I'm pretty short and it was a pain reaching that far back for the treat jar. I have found a shop in my area that has bowls made of recycled glass that I absolutely love. I'm just tryi g to decide if one would show up well in that corner. It could also be useful as well as decorative. I like that idea.

"I'm pretty short and it was a pain reaching that far back "

I have that problem too - that's why it's a good place for me to have my mw. It's not good for much else to me.

Toaster oven on the diagonal.

I have a corner like that and do not like clutter on my counters. However, after putting in new cabinets and countertops a year ago, my counters looked boring and I felt I needed some accent pieces. After spending Christmas with the in laws, my DH raved about using their KA mixer to make Tom & Jerry batter (a family tradition). I mentioned that I've always wanted a KA, but I really don't bake all that often. DH went and bought one the day before Christmas. Truth is that I don't use the KA all that much, but I LOVE the look of it, it makes me happy and at my age, I figured we deserved it.

I agree with the suggestion to put a larger treat jar, framed saying or towel rack in the corner if you feel you'd like something there. Your cabinets are beautiful.

How about a tray that holds your your containers and add one more thing (small plant/teapot). I think you could use some color in that spot too.

I have a 3 tier black metal fruit stand on my countertop and it looks so pretty. But mine isn't under any wall cabinets, so you'd need a shorter one.

Here's a photo I found of a shorter one. I keep lemons/limes, apples, avocados, tomatoes and onions in mine. I keep them in separate sections though.

and another

I agree with sorie6, I hate a lot of stuff on the counters. Although there are a lot of nice things you can find to put there, to me, it looks better left as is.

Did anyone ever actually find a towel pig for sale? I remember reading about the hunt, and have been casually looking for one ever since. If I wanted wings on it, I'd own one by now.

Message pig?

Hi - was thinking coffeemaker as well, but then read the comment about how hard it is to reach back there & the next thought was fruit bowl, but then you do not have to push things up against the wall, so coffeemaker @ an angle & away from the wall a bit could be good...

Thanks for all the suggestions! I love the 2 and 3 tiered stands and the message pig is fantastic! This is what I ended up doing. I'm in love with this glassware. The best thing is it's also functional!

Love it!

But.... what's on the other side of this corner? Is it a blind corner by any chance?

Not sure what you're asking oldbat2be. The original photo shows a broader image of the corner. I moved the dog treat jar to the other side of the sink.

Knife block.
