Hi All,

I have a walk in larder which is essentially a v small room with shelves on 2 perpendicular walls. This causes the dreaded corner issue where all the stuff gets shoved there and with both shelves either side full, it is next to impossible to get at the stuff in the corner (usually pots, pans, kitchen gadgets etc.) without removing a load of other things.

Shelves are around 600mm deep and around 400mm between the shelves. I was wondering whether anyone has come across a creative solution to the problem.. I have seen a few things made for corner kitchen cupboards which either rotate or you pull front basket out and corner basket slides out to where the other basket was (if you see what I mean). Couldn't see any that would fit the 400mm without adaptation and there were expensive - some around £200. Given I need 5 this would be an arm and a leg

Anyone have any ideas or seen any DIY type solutions I could make?

Thanks

Lee.

One solution is to put shelves on the door itself. Ideal for small light
stuff like spices.

And then have less in the way of wall mounted ****.

The complex "pull front basket out and corner basket slides out to where
the other basket was" thingies are useless. The mechanism takes up half
the space. A corner carousel that rotates is just as effective and far
cheaper. I don't know whether you can get one that goes floor to ceiling
with 5 carousels in one unit?

Stick one on top of t'other ?

You need a pole that runs through them all.

Thanks all a few bits of clarification
- the room is approx 1450 X 1450 with a full size door on the far
left and shelves on the right (no gap between door frame and
shelves)
- can't put anything on the door as that is the only width to get
into the larder
- shelves are on the right hand wall and wall in front of you as
you go in
- 4 rows of shelves
- to add further about 400mm along the right wall is a pillar
300mm deep and 360mm wide

Thanks again

Lee

Far better use the sort of chrome tube sold for curtain rails - its steel.

Hi Owain

Sorry should have mentioned, the door does open outwards There
are kitchen cupboards both sides up to the architrave so can only
open 90 degrees

Thanks

Put up a vertical barrier either side of the corner. This will stop
stuff on the rest of the shelf being pushed into the corner. The corner
then becomes its own space. The barrier doesn't have to be at right
angles to the wall but at perhaps 20/70 degrees to make the opening to
the corner space wider.

I like this one the barrier doesn't have to be full height, just an
couple of inches.

The 600 deep shelves strike me as very deep for storing most general
groceries without stuff ending up in front of other stuff and it must
make reaching anything in the corner difficult.

Think I'd also look at the galley option 300 deep shelves gives 850
between them. Or 200 and 400? 150/450?

Yes I too like the idea of the barrier. On the right side of the
corner is the pillar but could then put a sloping one on the
left. Was thinking maybe an adaptation would be to put a sliding
shelf diagonally into the corner the width of the front opening.
You then have easy access to the centre bits and then have room
to reach in to get the things either side .

Shelves on the left may work but would need to be shallow or at
least tapered at the front to get you in a bit without knocking
the stuff off them.

Thanks
