I hate corner pantries, they scream 90's to me.

LOL we just removed our corner pantry that was built in… 1990.

Corner space is not good for trying to store and organize many small items. Things are hard to see and access in there.

Also doesn’t that cut way into your space then? As in the clearance between cabinet and island?

What are the adjacent rooms? Maybe you could use the space on the other side instead, like a coat closet or something.

jaja06 Thabks! How did you use the corner more efficiently?

Jaja06 we have enough clearance between the island and the corner. There is a coat closet on the other side but in that corner we are below the stairs so the ceiling is very low.

Turntables are the solution for increasing usability of corner cabinets. Decide what you’d like to store there to help you decide. Do you have lots of small items like baking soda, yeast, etc. or small appliances like insta-pot or toaster that need homes?

The big closet corner pantries, with the flat door that angles across and "smooths" the corner, are what look 90s and also, seem impractical. A 90-degree corner cupboard, with a hinged door, would look almost the same as what you're planning, but let you use that deadspace. Just put turntables on the deep corner shelves, as Sharon Fullen suggested. Or use those corner areas for really large appliances or large bins of rice, flour, etc.

You could also make one side a blind corner cabinet, and use lazy susans to make the blind corner more accessible. That works best if you've got several things that you really only need once or twice a year.

Our corner pantry turned into a corner sink. Which doesn’t help you at all, sorry :( Hard to explain exactly but we did not want to change our flooring so we wanted to keep the corner shape. I actually love how it’s turning out. Anyway, I’ll third (fourth?) the recommendation to look into turntable and other options. Try checking out Rev A Shelf. Kinda cool that you have extra space, but take your time to really consider how you can best make use of it!

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I need to look at ways to use the corner. The only enticing part of a corner pantry is a place to hid my appliances, but I don’t like the look of how it cuts into the kitchen. I’ll keep looking.

Too many pantries! But you should invest in a prep sink because the main sink and refrigerator are too far apart.

emilyam819 interesting idea. I don't think we have the funds to invest in a water line in the island right now. We also played with the idea of putting a counter at the 36" pantry to put appliances at, but it is in a corner so it might be awkward.
