Need help finding sink for 36" Ikea sink cabinet
Comments (15)You can do it, but you're going to have to deal with the cabinet doors being too large. Get different doors or cut down the existing. That's a lot of screwing around, plus the bottom of your sink doesn't align with the bottom of the adjacent cabinet doors which I don't think looks as good....See MoreGetting an Ikea kitchen, ridding corner pantry...
Comments (2)Your redesign is hard to see since its only top down view - can you also post front view so we can see where appliances and cabinets are? Also recommend posting this on kitchen forums- you will get helpful feedback there. I am assuming fridge is cabinet 20? Why can't you move it to cabinet 8 position so it's right by the table. And can you put pantry next to fridge so kids can get their drinks and snacks without getting in your way. Alternatively, can you put mini fridge under the counter in the island or near cabinet 8 for kids stuff or just a fridge drawer if that's sufficient space for their stuff....See MoreIkea corner cabinet not even!

Comments (16)No, that is not what I said. Your corner cabinet is installed first, like I said. It needs to be level and straight. The next cabinet then works off the corner cabinet. You cannot put shims between a corner cabinet and the next wall cabinet. (Maybe you do) but it will look terrible. That is why, at least I do, put clamps on the corner cabinet and the next cabinet and screw them together and then, shim as needed behind the cabinet to attach to the wall, like Joe said. Now your cabinets should be straight and level with the corner cabinet, if, if, your ceiling is not perfectly flat, you can adjust the molding to cover the small variance. Of coarse it needs to be as perfect as it can be, do you not work with any kitchens with walls and ceilings that are a little cockeyed? Your the "pro"....See MoreIKEA corner sink hack - sink size?
Comments (7)I am doing this same thing and it's a headache to figure out. I physically cut out a huge piece of cardboard the same footprint as what the corner sink cabinet will be so I could visualize what size sink I could get and how far back it would have to be. The link you posted has a front that is almost 18 inches - you could probably do a 21 inch sink with it set the normal 3ish inches back from the edge. Here is a link to the most useful blog post I have seen about this topic: http://www.athomeinlove.com/pros-cons-corner-sink/ I personally am going to buy a 42 inch (measure by the back edges) corner sink cabinet from Home Depot (here) put an Ikea door on the front so it matches the rest of the kitchen. Since I will need filler pieces on both sides of this sink cabinet (and the sink cabinet is empty on the inside) I can probably fit a 27 or 30 inch sink no problem. I will have to figure out how to support the countertop along the back wall (and the sink probably as well) but I think that can be done. TLDR; measure the front edge of sink cabinet (18 inches in your example) add like 3 inches and that is how big of a sink. Good luck! I would love to hear what you decide on....See MoreHeather
