Introduction:
When designing a modular kitchen, every inch of space counts—especially the corners. Often overlooked or underutilized, kitchen corners can become valuable storage zones with the right corner unit solutions. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the most popular and functional modular kitchen corner units like the S-Corner Carousel, Magic Corner, and other innovative fittings that can enhance your kitchen’s efficiency and elegance.
1. S-Corner Carousel Unit
Ideal for: L-shaped and U-shaped kitchens
The S-Corner Carousel Unit is a rotating shelf system installed in the corner cabinet. It allows you to access deep storage with a simple spin, making it perfect for storing pots, pans, and other bulky cookware. The carousel trays rotate 360 degrees, ensuring you can easily reach every item without bending or stretching.
Benefits:
- Full utilization of corner space
- Easy access to stored items
- Smooth rotating mechanism
- Available in multiple sizes and finishes
2. Magic Corner Unit
Ideal for: Blind corner cabinets
The Magic Corner Unit is a smart mechanism that pulls out the contents of the blind corner when you open the cabinet door. It features two sets of shelves—one attached to the door and the other hidden inside—that glide outward in one smooth motion.
Benefits:
- Maximizes hard-to-reach blind corners
- Soft-close and smooth sliding
- Excellent for storing jars, bottles, and small appliances
- Sleek and modern look with chrome-plated or powder-coated options
3. D-Tray / L-Corner Pull-Out
Ideal for: Diagonal or L-shaped corners
The D-Tray is a semi-circular or D-shaped pull-out system designed to neatly organize your corner space. The trays slide out smoothly and are ideal for medium-sized kitchen items like spice containers, small vessels, or baking supplies.
Benefits:
- Simple, budget-friendly design
- Ideal for smaller kitchens
- Easy to install and use
- Can be customized for left or right-hand orientation
4. LeMans Corner Unit
Ideal for: Modern luxury kitchens
Inspired by the race track it’s named after, the LeMans Corner Unit features kidney-shaped shelves that swing out individually. Unlike carousel units, LeMans trays slide and pivot outward, providing clear visibility and access.
Benefits:
- Premium design with anti-slip trays
- Maximum visibility of items
- Soft close and smooth movement
- Ideal for deep pots and pans
5. Swing Trays and Pull-Out Baskets
Ideal for: Compact kitchens and minimal setups
These smart accessories help you organize items in tight corners without losing functionality. Pull-out wire baskets and swing trays are affordable and customizable.
Benefits:
- Space-saving and cost-effective
- Modular fitting with adjustable heights
- Best suited for dry groceries and medium-weight items
