Corner cabinets are often the most frustrating and underused space in the kitchen. They’re deep, dark, and difficult to access—leading to clutter, lost items, and wasted potential. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

At Tansel, we offer a range of engineered solutions that transform corner cabinets into efficient, organised, and easy-to-reach storage spaces. Whether you're working with a standard corner, a blind corner, or something in between—we have a fit-for-purpose product to match.

Here’s a breakdown of the smartest options to help you reclaim your kitchen corners.

Why Corner Cabinets Are Often Wasted Space

While corner cupboards offer generous depth, they’re rarely designed with accessibility or usability in mind. Standard shelves leave items lost at the back. DIY inserts can be clunky and ineffective. And without the right system, these cabinets become a dumping ground for kitchen gear you rarely use—or can’t find when you need it.

That’s why choosing the right corner storage solution matters.

Moving Corner – Full Access with Zero Hassle

The Moving Corner is a high-end, engineered system that fully extends out of the cabinet, bringing all contents directly into view.

Best for:

  • Kitchens with limited reach
  • Those who want maximum visibility and access
  • A premium, smooth-operating solution

This mechanism works in a two-step motion: the front trays pull out and the rear trays automatically slide into position—making it ideal for heavy or deep-stored items.

✔ A great upgrade from traditional Lazy Susans

✔ Perfect for luxury kitchens or accessibility needs

✔ No wasted space—everything is used

Blind Corner Solutions – Solving the Most Difficult Space

A blind corner is where part of the cabinet is hidden from view behind an adjacent cabinet or door—making it almost impossible to use efficiently without a purpose-built solution.

At Tansel, our Blind Corner Cross Over system is designed to unlock this wasted space.

Best for:

  • Cabinet layouts where traditional turntables don’t fit
  • Deep storage access without crawling inside
  • Custom-fitted solutions

✔ Professionally installed for seamless performance

✔ Smooth crossover arms glide trays out in one motion

✔ Customisable to your kitchen layout
