What is
To provide the doors of various types of furniture with the ability to swing open, facade fastening mechanisms with hinged hinges are used. In the case of a standard swing angle, the facade opens 95 degrees. In the case of corner cabinets with roll-out or rotating storage systems, sofas, dining tables with a swivel with a transformation mechanism, it is important to use fittings with a non-standard installation angle (180, 270 degrees). It provides a person with the opportunity to transform one piece of furniture into another or change one of its functional states to another.
Mechanisms of this type are easily transformed, as a result of which the appearance of the furniture and its functionality change. For example, a kitchen cabinet or hanger. This is extremely important for the comfort of furniture users; however, such fittings become even more important in small-sized housing. Small spaces must be furnished with highly functional furniture, otherwise they will not be comfortable to live in.

How to organize storage in corner cabinets in the kitchen
Undoubtedly, corner cabinets are a salvation for almost any kitchen, regardless of its size and layout.
Without them, it would be impossible to use the corner spaces, which are so inconvenient for conventional ready-made furniture, to maximum effect, while creating harmonious kitchen interiors. But how to organize storage in the interior space of corner cabinets so that they are convenient to use? In most cases, it is these cabinets that are the most difficult to organize in the kitchen. Despite the fact that they have quite a lot of space, it is not so easy to use, either because of the narrow “entrance” in the case of one door, or because the configuration of the cabinet is so absurd that one suspects that when assembling it, workers - they made a mistake!
Fortunately, there are various devices with which you can use and conveniently arrange the interior space of the most inconvenient corner cabinet. You can also resort to alternative options, including those made by yourself.
Let's figure out what is best to use depending on the type and location of such cabinets.
Lower corner cabinets
They come in different configurations. For this reason, there are no uniform rules or recommendations for organizing storage in such cabinets. I will conditionally divide them into two groups - corner cabinets with “blind” zones (which it is impossible not only to reach, but even to see what is going on there without crawling into the cabinet with your head) and corner cabinets of complex geometric shape, which makes them difficult to use usable space.
• Cabinets of the first group - it would be more correct to call them corner structures, consisting of rectangular cabinets and/or cabinets located at an angle (usually right) to each other. Because part of a rectangular cabinet is covered by a cabinet (or other cabinet), its door is offset to the right or left, as in these pictures.
From my point of view, this configuration is the least of all evils. The hard-to-reach area here has a regular geometric shape, which is not without difficulty, but can be used to the maximum even in the absence of special mechanisms. Here you can place things and items that are required from time to time.
If you want to get a more ergonomic, manageable space in cabinets of this type, you should think about installing special fittings. Various online stores offer pullout mechanisms designed for cabinets with blind spots.
I'll start with the “magical corners”. These are very convenient devices, consisting of four durable and capacious baskets (connected in pairs), moving along guides installed inside the cabinet, and a special rotating mechanism.
You can see how one of these devices works here:
However, it should be remembered that “magic corners” are suitable for cabinets of certain sizes with retractable doors (with the help of which the corner is pulled out), so it is necessary to plan their installation at the furniture design stage. Alas, the price for “magical corners” is high - from 10,000 to 42,000 rubles. The fact is that most of this kitchen fittings presented in Russia are produced abroad.
The range of fittings from Italian, Austrian and German manufacturers also includes models that can be installed in ready-made cabinets, if, of course, their size allows: rotating mechanisms, for example, corner carousels.
How these devices work can be seen here:
Prices for such corner carousels are also high - from 12,000 to 20,000 rubles.
Fortunately, there are more acceptable options. For example, here is a rotating mesh shelf, the price of which is 2200 - 3400 rubles.
Or this corner carousel with baskets made of durable plastic, the price of which is 3400 - 4600 rubles (depending on the size of the shelves).
In addition, you can take a closer look at this option at a price of 4500-4800 rubles.
• Cabinets of the second group - in fact, this is an ordinary cabinet with a cut corner, where the door is located.
A significant part of the interior space of such cabinets is beyond easy or even maximum reach, which increases the physical load for their users.
