DIY Blind Corner Cabinet

Easy and budget friendly DIY fix for those hard to see blind corner cabinets. This is a great solution for anyone looking to save money and access those hard to reach corners.

BRILLIANT! 500 bucks they want for that stupid magic corner and you knocked this outta the park. Nice!

[@pl-ps2pd]

Your cat did a wonderful job of supervising. I think he wanted to get into the cupboard to really inspect the fit and finish. 🤔

[@manyregrets5434]

Great idea! Cabinet builders are so happy to blank off valuable space because it is an easier build. Love this idea so much more.

[@MySickstring]

This is the same solution I came up with! The addition of some vinyl garden boarder lattice around the back and on one side of the drawer in the back will allow you to keep items from falling behind it. You could also buy or make two drawers the same size and then connect them like bunk beds giving you full use of the height of the cabinet as well. Well done!

[@luckylibbet1]

Bunk beds. Great way to visualize.

The Cat: " Hmm, how can I mess with that?...."

[@drivestowork]

Soon as she turns away the cat is IN that cabinet!!

[@OnLongIsland]

Great idea! It boggles the mind how these companies can charge such exorbitant prices for something so easily made. $400 for a pole and racks is obscene. Thanks for the great DIY idea.

[@floydsfabulousfriends7734]

You could always put a double wire rack on back drawer instead of having to install a second shelf.

[@hikingwiththedog6078]

You're a genius!! Way to go, you helped so many of us with those stupid blind cupboards, and we can't afford 500-700 dollars for the ones you buy. Thank you so much!!

[@duffbearify]

This is a great idea and you explained it so anyone can do it. I'm happy that your cat also realizes how smart you are and is inspecting your project

[@1975EJL]

Been looking at loads of different "solutions" lately, this is the best I've come across. Thank you so much!

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

Great work young lady may God bless you and your family outstanding job

[@queenofswords6463]

This is awesome. I can’t believe I found the exact blind corner slide out that I was hoping to find on KZbin. Thank you!

[@barbstapleton6934]

legend! you are a legend, I am so going to do this. My tupperware has nowhere go go before I saw this! xxxx from australia

[@slewmayhew9515]

Me, too. Racking my brains out and this is great.

[@seanproinsias]

Clever, simple and effective and a concise explanation. Well done!

[@lizstrangesavage7948]

This is exactly what I needed. Perfect solution and explanation! Thank you!

[@WellStyledImages]

Yay! You conquered the DIY on what’s normally a very expensive solution! Imma do it too! Thanks girl!

[@jonathanbolton2600]

You are so very brilliant! I am very happy with this design. There are plenty of options in the store for corner cabinets, but they all have very specific dimensions... I was struggling to find a solution and you’ve made my day!! Thanks so Much!!

[@kristinekiddell1196]

You legend! What a great solution, been looking for something and this is truly teh best, easiest and most practical. thankyou so much for taking the time to share.

[@sunshine885]

This is GREAT! I watched a lot of videos on how to get to things deep in the corner cabinet that has already been installed and I'm a renter. This is a great perfect solution for me. Thank you so much.

[@leaperrins8373]

This is exactly what I've just been creating in my mind. I came looking to see if anyone had done something similar - thanks so much!

[@kathrynloehr5275]

Simply genius!! Thank you for posting this!!!

[@annnonomys3132]

My plan for my winter project was to make pull out drawers for our cabinets. Now my winter project has been simplified to shopping at the restore and installing those pre-made drawers. Thank you!

[@jynclr]

This is brilliant! Thank you for the video. I actually have a blind corner top cabinet and all of the solutions I find are for bottom cabinets. I was wondering how to make a custom one and your video is the perfect solution that I can customize for a top cabinet that isn't as deep as a bottom cabinet. Thank you!!!!

[@cfglz06]

OMG !!!!.. You really thought outside the box !!!.. thank you for sharing !!.. I have the same issue and it is so much space !!!

[@lillypatience]

Love it! I didn’t see this video when I was researching solutions a few weeks ago so I ended up using under the bed storage that came on casters.

[@louised6790]

You go girl! That’s genius! I have the same opening with the same depth in the same location. I love you for thinking of this and simplifying my life. My brain hurts from trying to engineer an affordable fix for this. In my area it would cost $1000 for the swing out type (I have 2 cabinets like this). Thank you so much for sharing!

[@cathypoole8912]

Great idea!!! I am going to try this. I think I might sit a small shelf in the door as well, so I can stack things higher. Thank you so much for this awesome idea!!!

[@kimberlybeeler4293]

that's one of the smartest things I've ever seen!!! magic shelves are soooooo expensive... I know they're two tiered , but I'd rather do this option than pay 100s of dollars for the two tiered options! Great job!

[@deezie78]

Excellent video, never thought of doing this. Thanks for sharing

[@vickigibson8964]

Wow. Thank you for your cheap blind corner fix. Such a creative solution!!! The ones on line are way to expensive for my 35 year old cabinets.

[@bobvogel5398]

Good job. Nice to see someone using ingenuity to craetye a solution to a problem. Maybe not quite as 'fancy' as the multi hundred dollar solutions from cabinet companies, but DIY-able, and cost effective. I'll say it again, "Good job."

[@Duhkha12]

Well done! Very smart simple idea. Love it!!

[@Prozee_J]

Wow that is brilliant! I've been searching online as well and all the solutions available are way too expensive. Than you for sharing xx

[@stevestucky6319]

Great idea. However side mount slides are designed for vertical installation. They will not hold any significant weight when mounted horizontally. Two slides would probably be better for long term use. Also I would warn to not lean on the front drawer when extended as it would bend the slide and it will never work the same again. Good job on the video and your addressing a problem that haunts us all.

[@jenniferjahns4006]

this is what I was wondering, I kept looking for bottom mount ball bearing slides but they go on the sides. So 2 makes sense! Thank you.

[@SuperLittleTyke]

@@jenniferjahns4006 It's possible to buy ball bearing runners that can be fitted on the side OR on the bottom. Also, even with a few saucepans or skillets on the smaller drawer, they aren't going to be very heavy in total. Possibly if one had exclusively cast iron pots the weight might be an issue.

[@sandrachow3486]

Brilliant! I have TWO of these corners, each with shelf, and crick in my shoulder from trying to reach aaaalllll the way in there. Thanks!

[@nancybryson5488]

Very resourceful of you to figure this out. Love the cat!

[@qtpoteat]

What size are your slides?

[@DrMudstone]

Amazing idea, I have been thinking of setting up a swivel system but this is way more cost-effective and functional :)

[@sherricefarrow2825]

THANK GOD FOR YOU. I have been looking for this for YEARS. We live in my husband's childhood home and cabinets have been refaced and so there are no room for lazy susans. You've made my day and life 100x easier.

[@fcvgarcia]

Thank you very much for such a simple and clever idea.

[@bruceco.8524]

I'm glad I found this. I am in the middle of building cabinets for my kitchen. Over all it is going good. I've been frustrated today by this corner cabinet I have. The area is too small for a reasonable lazy Susan, if I make it bigger I will not be able to center my sink over this window. Its unavoidable, it's just the way the wall works out. I would be happy to buy the expensive solutions but they don't look good to me and waste space. I like what you did. I can do it with what I have here. I am going to use your idea in my corner cabinet. I probably will assemble it with two shelves like you suggested. Thank you.

[@MaximillianPierpont]

Absolutely, ABSOLUTELY GREAT SOLUTION!

[@marylewis5361]

Great idea! You could still add another drawer on top if you place a similar blind drawer, assembly, add bracers at the height you want the drawer, then leverage the second shelf into place. If you screw the second drawer into the braces and it should be secure enough hold the drawer without tipping.

[@rgestwicki]

Since it makes my wife happy, it makes me happy. You did a good job.

[@carolschedler3832]

Bravo! If you have access to the back of that cabinet … hubby installed a door and sliding shelves! Wow lots of usable space. He did one on family room side of kitchen and one on dinette side. You did great!!

[@lorrainen5973]

Brillant! My dilema exactly. Thanks for the idea.

[@stephensears7483]

brilliant solution - thanks for making the video!

[@pinkcammy3464]

You dear... ARE A BLESSING!!!!

[@melissashome]

Not what I was searching for, but so glad I seen it. Thanks!!!!!!

[@sonialorenzo9223]

This is the solution for my corner cabinet. Perfection.

[@tvfrance3667]

Very clever young lady!

[@michaelmaynard8138]

Just amazing, thank you for sharing this.

[@veronica-c8199]

Awesome! Will have to make this. Thanks for sharing.

[@nestorespinoza1602]

Thank you for the video. I'm looking to update my cabinet and this will work perfect.

[@tomhenderson2430]

I love this. I am thinking of doing it with a track on each edge, so two per drawer. That would give it enough stability to add shelves to each drawer and they could still roll without leaning

[@jackdaniels64]

Wow that’s a genius idea!! Brilliant!!

[@neryfernandocampos7009]

I like this option and its not expensive and you'll be able to use your existing cabinets.

[@sherrywright7393]

Great job. Thanks for sharing

[@thefurious69]

Awesome! Thanks for the idea.

[@lisamorand9607]

I just recently opened our blocked off blind corner. This is great idea.

[@joyturner-price6504]

Genius! I have watched several videos for using the blind corners and most of them involved some expensive hardware, a carpenter or a totally useless solution. This is simple, affordable and an easy DIY. Thanks so much for sharing your idea.

[@corninyourpoop]

I'm renting right now and can't install some high dollar revashelf. I also cannot BELIEVE how expensive they are 🙄 you have taken the ideas I've had in my head and brought it to life and I appreciate the tutorial! If they were able to be 2 layers, to maximize the the space even more, that would be even more amazing! You rock!

[@ariannag2424]

This is such a great idea, I'm going to do this, it looks super easy :)

[@alenzak8090]

Fantastic idea

[@susanshanks2407]

What a brilliant idea.❤

[@talktidy7523]

You are clever. I also like your cat.

[@MissGixxer]

Wow, this is genius, thanks for sharing!

[@stevenlaroche7800]

Excellent idea. Easy to do. I’m building a bar and I’m running into this exact scenario. I may just incorporate your idea. Thanks! Funny how the cat is just waiting for the opportune time to enter that cabinet.

[@UlissesPenna]

Wow! Genius. I liked very much. I'll try at home. Thank you. You save me some money.

[@sarahloy2699]

So clever! Great idea.

[@randallsemrau6911]

You're brilliant! Thanks!

[@sarahcates1935]

Genius! Thanks for the idea!

[@mikealpha6633]

genius. been looking for a solution other then a lazy susan. this with do nicely.

[@2beauty24]

Well done girl 😁 definitely going to do something similar 👏 👍🏼 😀

[@caseyj5597]

Love this idea!

[@joeyleerobbins]

THIS IS GENIUS!!!!!!!!! Thank you!

[@rejoicing1]

This is a great idea. I wish you would have turned over the pull out drawer so we could see the attached pull out however.

[@rainielu]

You are a GENIUS!!! Thank you!

[@denniswyckoff7365]

Wish I saw this at your age. Awesome. Job

[@dodgedabullet670]

AWESOME! I LOVE it! Yeah, create another shelf so you can make another level of the same thing, two sliding drawers!!

[@zulujumper]

Thank you so much! You are a genius and just saved me $500. This is awesome!!!

[@mijodo2008]

Clever, Clever Girl. Top Job Mate, Cheers from Michael. Australia.

[@kuhlwlf]

You are brilliant!

[@khalilahel-amin3060]

Thank you sooo much!!! This is so very helpful!

[@tsmall07]

Awesome solution!

[@Kathywake23]

I know she didn't just solve my problems! Way to go girl!

[@SuperLittleTyke]

I have exactly the same blind corner, albeit with a wider door, and I've been pondering for weeks whether to get one of those swivelling pull-out shelves. But they are expensive. Your solution is a very good idea. I've used the fully extending ball bearing runners in ordinary cupboards so that I don't need to bend in order to get to the pots and pans, and I rate such runners very highly. The only modification I would make to your design would be to use two runners under the smaller drawer instead of one. I've lived in my house for 15 years and the blind corners have been almost inaccessible all that time!

[@C5Rose3]

Thanks for the idea!

[@mijaresaldo]

GREAT! This is an amazing project! Cheers!!! :D

[@markl4112]

Great idea. Thanks!

[@kimlongley3300]

Thank you so MUCH for this, I am going to do it!

[@petrawilliams9789]

Great idea! You can make the draws a bit higher so you can pack a little bit more stuff. That way things stay inside draws

[@TrojanNationGA]

Well done. Simple and effective. Fire!

[@darlenerutherford345]

GREAT JOB!

[@ariasareli]

love it! thanks!! That hardware is so expensive! Im going to deff try this

[@nhengineer1943]

I love your cat.

[@annaevans5745]

You are a life saver!!!

[@jakeqwaninne8502]

i did that exact same thing in one of my cabs, it works great

[@syieml.1019]

Thank you so much ma'am for the idea actually even I've got the same problem and what a coincidence that the position of the shelf yours and mine is on the same side.

[@3ue8d8eyej2odid8]

I'd say it was about a 50/50 shot. Haha

[@ethan-L]

simple and smart!

[@tombrownrigg8794]

Nice work 👍
