Which layout for laundry room upper cabinets?
This is for the laundry in our cabin. The laundry is in the back part of the main floor guest powder room. There is an opening with no door between powder and laundry sections. After a previous discussion here it was decided that we will not be adding a door between as it would be costly and structurally prohibitive. A sliding barn door won’t work as there is no overhead structure above the door, it is open all the way to the cepiling, plus there is minimal room to slide the door alongside the toilet. A curtain is an option, but not very likely as I’m not excited about fabric down to the floor right near the toilet. So the prior thread here the consensus was to make the room organized and cute, which I’m good with. Keep in mind that the whole cabin is lacking in storage so every bit helps.
In the pics I have removed a wall to make viewing easier, it is not open on that side!
Option 1 is to do a straight run of uppers into the corner like this,
This is how it will look when entering from the hallway.
Option 2 is an angled corner upper with a lazy susan like this,
This is how it will look entering from the hallway.
Thoughts?

Thanks all,
My plan is to bump the uppers about a bit so they aren’t as far back to reach into.
My original plan was for side by side with a tall cabinet but then I have no space for folding which was my husband’s only request. (Yes, he does his own laundry! ).
If I do side by side front load with counter on top it will be too tall to comfortably fold on as the countertop would be at least 40” high.
I also lose my spot for dog food and dog bowls in the toe kick.
Oh, and I’m not doing a vessel sink, this is just the only sink option in a vanity in this program for some reason.
I was thinking of the rejuvenation basin sink. Set into a base

The laundry portion of the room is 68” (where the w/d is) the window wall is 78”.
I have the cabinets pulled off that wall at least 4” to give space to run dryer venting along that wall to the outside wall. I will just make the countertop deeper to cover the gap at the back.
The units I’m looking at are 27” wide by 38” tall by 32” deep. Ceilings are 102”.
I could maybe do this, without the sink under the window. But this would make the folding area only 16” deep.
