- Set the brief
- List the large or occasional items that would otherwise occupy the corner.
- Compare
- Compare fixed shelves, pull-outs and accessible dead space against their usable capacity.
- Before buying
- Check nearby handles and appliance fronts for collisions.
Worked example
A corner cabinet is proposed for pots, but its pull-out mechanism collides with the adjacent oven handle.
Mock up both openings and test the largest pot; compare a simple fixed shelf if access is clearer.
How to test it
Mock up the opening and reach sequence with the stored items represented.

- Layout
- Separate the heavy cooking run from a breakfast counter and provide a short route to dining and patio.
- Detail
- Use task lighting at prep zones and durable finishes where garden traffic enters.
- Trade-off

- Walk the prep-to-dining route
- Check sun and heat at counters
