How to Make Blind Corner Cabinet Space More Useful

A Blind Corner Cabinet is a cabinet positioned at the corner between two rows of base cabinets where part of one cabinet’s contents is hidden by the other row of cabinets. It is blind in that you cannot see what is inside the cabinet portion that is hidden and it makes that space fairly difficult to use.

As you can see in the image below, the cabinet marked in yellow is a “blind corner cabinet”. The light gray line represents the cabinet opening and the area to the right is the “blind” area that is hidden from view.
