Maximize Storage Space With A Revolutionary Lazy Susan Cabinet Upgrade

When you're on your hands and knees trying to find something that fell off the lazy Susan in your corner cabinet and is now spinning freely in the kitchen vortex, it's fair to ask, does this design actually work for you? There's no question that corner cabinets create a troublesome dead space in your kitchen, but a lot of homeowners don't love the lazy Susan solution. Many of us have simply resigned ourselves to it because it's the best option we know of. But the lazy Susan doesn't have to be the last word on your corner cabinet storage, because there's a revolutionary cabinet upgrade that maximizes storage space and turns a blind corner into one of the hardest-working cabinets in your kitchen.

One idea to add more usable space to your lazy Susan is to include pull-out shelves with chevron-shaped fronts. Pull-out shelves can fit into the center of a rotating lazy Susan that's in your corner cabinet, giving you complete access to the center of the rotating cabinet and significantly reducing the dead space that makes them so frustrating. When you're not using the pull-out shelves, the whole unit rotates just like a traditional lazy Susan, with stationary D-shaped shelves on the sides. The lips on these side shelves keep items from falling off and getting lost in the black hole that's in the back of your cabinet.

Many people are looking for easy ways to fix common storage mistakes related to corner cabinets. While lazy Susan pull-out shelves are an upgrade that requires some planning, this idea can transform how you use your corner cabinet. Instead of storing infrequently used items like waffle makers and salad spinners, you can actually use this lazy Susan alternative for items that you reach for every day, such as spices and cooking oils.

Whether you tackle this lazy Susan hack as a DIYer or hire a professional for the installation, the concept can work for any corner cabinet that can fit a traditional lazy Susan. Since corner cabinets are often inside the kitchen work triangle, it makes the reclaimed dead space even more valuable once you find the right solution.

Two of the biggest issues with the traditional lazy Susan solution include finding what you need and keeping the inside of the cabinet clean. When you use pull-out shelves in the center of the rotating cabinet, not only is it easier to find what you're looking for, but cleaning is also more manageable. It's also a versatile solution, since you can modify it to include two or three shelves, depending on how much headspace you want for each shelf and what you plan to store there.
