Kitchen Cabinet Modern

kitchen cabinet upgrades

What is the technical term for the cabinet additions that go on either side of upper kitchen cabinets that are at a 45 degree angle? Like instead of the cabinets ending bluntly in a 90 degree angle from the side of the cabinet it tapers to the wall at a 45 degree angle and gives a little extra cabinet space for spices or other small stuff. There would be one extra thin cabinet door and triangular shelves. Know what I mean?

At the shop where I work we refer to them as corner cabinets. That's if you want face frame with doors. Anything else would be refereed to as corner shelf. But, that is at my shop.

After checking out Home Depot on line they referred to their cabinets as either a diagonal wall cabinet or a corner wall cabinet.

That is a corner cabinet. They come in any size with a front door that opens. A Lazy Susan has a turn table in it. So it realy depends if you want the one that turns or one that just has shelves.

It has become a common renovation

It has become a common renovation – gutting the rear of an old villa to accommodate a spacious, open-plan living area. Refurbishments such as these invariably include a new kitchen, designed on sleek, modern lines. Kitchen designer Robyn Labb says for this remodelling project the owner wanted a light look. "Visually, the kitchen couldn't be too dark or heavy," she says. "The owner also wanted something a little different – something that would set it apart."

The solution was a streamlined design featuring back-lit glass cabinetry and stainless steel trim.
"Many kitchens feature a similar design, in terms of the sink on the island and the cooking centre behind," says Labb. "So, for this kitchen, the difference is literally in the detailing. Specifying a thin 20mm benchtop, rather than a more predictable deep benchtop, was one point of difference. The stainless steel banding was introduced to balance the depth of the benchtop."
