Angles create wasted space - that's simply a fact of life. If you wanted to use all the space in the cabinets, you would have not designed with angles.

It looks like the shelves in your cabinets do not extend all the way to the front - that is giving you a lot more wasted space than the angles. If you change those cabinets to drawers - or at least add pullouts - you will gain a ton of accessible storage space.

My kitchen has that too; never did come uo with a way to make it usable. Maybe put a hidden door inside and hide your valuables when you are on vacation?

There is nothing that can be done with, or about, that space.

A custom cabinet can be designed to fit any angles! I have a corner sink and the old cabinet was square with wasted space. The new corner cabinet was custom built with 6 sides to fit the space perfectly. I have much more storage space under the main sink now.

I have a similar space on my island. I had a cabinet door put on and added 2 adjustable shelves inside. I currently keep kitchen linens there and when my children were a bit younger I kept plastic cups and bowls inside so they weren't climbing the counters to get to the upper cabinets.

I'm very glad I had it added to the design and wish I would have done it on the other side as well!

The space in the extisting cabinets you lose to access that odd location to store things will not help you in the long run.

Thanks for all the advice. Found out when we were installing countertop that there is hidden unused space. I'll try to have L shaped cabine to use extra space

My home builder used it to leave trash! I removed the old cabinets this past weekend and found even an old bottle of Coca Cola there!

Is it located near your prep area? maybe you could put a knife slot there in the countertop.
