Corner Cabinet Calculator

Corner Cabinet Calculator - Dimensions for Every Corner Solution

Corner cabinets are the trickiest units in a kitchen to plan because so much depth is lost to the corner itself. This calculator works out usable dimensions for lazy Susan, diagonal, and blind corner cabinets so you know how much storage you're actually getting.

How to Use the Corner Cabinet Calculator

1. Corner Cabinet Type: Choose lazy Susan, diagonal, blind corner, or L-shaped
2. Cabinet Depth: Standard base cabinet depth is 24 inches
3. Cabinet Height: Standard base cabinet height is 30 inches (to the countertop)
4. Door Style: Single door, bi-fold, sliding, or no door (open lazy Susan)

Comparing Corner Cabinet Types

• Lazy Susan: Rotating shelves sized to roughly 1.4x the cabinet depth, typically 28-32 inches in diameter - the most accessible option
• Diagonal corner: A 45-degree front face that squares off the corner; usable depth runs about 70% of cabinet depth
• Blind corner: The most space-efficient to build, but roughly half the depth is hard to reach without a pull-out system

Whichever style you choose, corner units set the layout for everything around them - run the numbers here first, then move to the Cabinet Layout Planner to fit the rest of your run around the corner cabinet's footprint.
