Blind corner solution for small cabinet

4 years ago

Hi,


Hoping for some DIY advice, thanks in advance!


We have a small (2.5m*2.5m) kitchen and are struggling to find corner units that would fit the available space - we need something between 60-70cm, with the door side 30cm wide and the "blind" side 30-40cm wide.


We're also very keen that the blind corner is actually usable and have come across these contraptions:

A diagram showing its workings:

However they're all made for much bigger cabinets (80cm+)


Has anyone ever tried to DIY something like this? Would it be possible to do so with a combination of these elements:


IKEA pull-out unit (30cm wide) plus an appropriate IKEA door:

A 30cm wide basket to find in the blind corner, e.g.:

Plus the correct additional hinges/drawer runners?


Or, is there a better solution altogether?


Thanks very much,


Priya
