I looks good, but you loose alot of space. If you have a small kitchen you cant afford to loose the space. Re: Now heres some nice kitchens for inspiration. 8Jun 27, 2007 1:09 pm I've been to their showroom at Padstow - pretty awesome designs!

If you have a small kitchen you cant afford to loose the space. I've made this type of drawer before. You lose about 1/3 cabinet space but you make up for this in cabinet accessibility. Also, if your kitchen design calls for drawers to all base cabinets then having drawers in a corner unit does away with blind corner cabinets with voids. Re: Now heres some nice kitchens for inspiration. 10Jun 27, 2007 1:20 pm YEP…..the lost Tupperware at the very back of the cupboard…..I know I have one!!
I hate it!

Actually if we are talking about percentages then you loose 43% of abailable space if you build the drawer with the extra triangle on the back or 61% of available space the way most people build it without. Compare this with lazy susan style solutions which only loose 36% of available space. Unfortunalty for me there still isnt a solution that covers all bases, uses all the available space and works well. Hopefully they will get there. Re: Now heres some nice kitchens for inspiration. 12Jun 27, 2007 11:18 pm Don't forget to think volumetrically. The Blum drawers fitted into a corner cabinet as displayed will maximise your storage space compared to a standard bifold door corner cabinet.
Lazy susans do not allow you to have drawers in a corner cabinet as per the image displayed. Re: Now heres some nice kitchens for inspiration. 13Jun 28, 2007 9:49 am Corners can be such a pain in kitchen design.
I have always preferred to use a lazy susan in a bifold corner as it provides a good trade off between effective use of footprint and volume - depending on what you put on it. Obviously if you are only going to be using it for cups and plates you will waste a fair bit of your volume, but I find lazy susans are well suited to storing the large pots, cake tins and stacks of containers that always take up so much room elsewhere. The Blum drawer system is a clever development, and we all know that drawers are a much more effective use of conventional cupboard space in terms of volume, but I have to admit that I too am a bit put off by the wasted space defined by those two big triangular voids either side of the drawer box...and something has always bothered me about those opposing handles; somehow they send out the wrong signal to me - but I am very big on semiotics and tend to get a bit obsessed by these things... Another alternative is to create a blind corner and use some sort of swing-pull out system such as the Waricorner: http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u240/strumer/Waricorner.jpg I know blind corners are anathema to good design, but at least this device allows access to a fair amount of the defined space - and you can put a drawer above it. My biggest reservation about this type of solution is the same one I have for pull out pantries, which is that everytime you open the door you are moving the mass of the entire contents of the cupboard, as opposed to a drawer solution which only moves the weight of what is in any particular drawer. I agree that there is still a better solution to be found for corners - my favourite is not to have them if possible! It can be suprising, especially in small kitchens, that by changing the layout to a galley style one can sometimes actually gain storage space.

I didnt even notice that! Googling it now! Re: Now heres some nice kitchens for inspiration. 17Jul 09, 2007 9:31 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅
It's called the Evoline port. Heres the spiel... Discreet power strip for the kitchen. The Evoline Port is a pretty clever hidden power outlet for the kitchen, workplace or office. You install the tube with the power outlets in your bench top or table top or upside down in your kitchen cabinet, and plug the cord into a convenient wall socket. When you need power, you just pull the Port up, connect your cable and push the port back down. When nothing is connected to it, it is just a silver disc on your table top. Just search for "Evoline port" on google. Re: Now heres some nice kitchens for inspiration. 18Jul 09, 2007 9:46 pm and they are available with data points as well.... now That's really cool but rather than under/behind the table it'll clutter the tabletop... I think best application is for the kitchen bench.
