Kitchen Corner Unit Storage - Maximise Space with a Magic Corner

Kitchen corner units present us all with a dilemma - how to utilise the space in your corner cabinet without dislocating your shoulder trying to grab the items in the farthest darkest part? Well that’s where a ‘Magic Corner’ storage unit will definitely do the trick!

You would be amazed what these clever pull out units can do to improve your corner storage - both in terms of practical access and cleanliness.


The two-tier tray style shelves shown here have a pivot and slide mechanism that means thay slide in and then sideways to fit neatly into the corner section of the cupboard you can’t normally get to. What that means, is that you can grab the front of the tray and then pull and slide it forward to get easy access to everything you have stored. They are available in gloss white, gloss black and gloss grey and for right hand or left hand cupboards.

The units make a great storage mechanism for groceries, pots and pan, cleaning materials, pretty much any household item you would normally store on a kitchen cabinet shelf - but knowing that access will be quick and easy.
There are a number of options available - the chrome wire basket style shown here offers great value and has two carousel style baskets on a central spindle to pivot the trays into the corner storage area.

What’s more, youll be surprised how easy these units are to fit - definitely a DIY task that most people can take on.

The sets all come with the appropriate fittings and instructions to make the job as straigtforward as possible.

So, if you want clean, easy access corner storage, these magic little number could be the best solution for you - at least in future you’ll be able to easily find that elusive can of baked beans you were sure you had bought!

Cutlery Trays - Should You Fork Out On a New One?


... crumbs yes! And therein lies one of the reasons why! If your cutlery drawer is anything like mine, then the cutlery tray would be enough to make Kim and Aggy recoil and reach for the marigolds! Crumbs are only the start of it when it comes to kitchen dirt finding its way into my drawers!

Buying a new, fresh and clean cutlery tray is probably much easier than you think - we have a wide range of white, cream and frosted green inserts that can be fitted quickly and easily into your kitchen drawer - and you won’t have to fork out a fortune to do it with prices starting as low as £5.58.

Though when it comes to cutlery trays, you should know that silver is the new white and we have a fabulous range including the new ‘wave’ cutlery inserts that come with spacers so that you can set the widths of the sections to suit your needs. All our trays are designed to fit standard kitchen drawer widths - the majority are suitable for 500 and 600mm widths, but we have some designs as wide as 1000mm to suit today’s trend for wide drawer designs.

And if you want to push the boat out and treat yourself to something really special, then you could consider our beautifully crafted Beech cutlery trays, formed in steamed and oiled beech wood especially for this purpose.
So now that we’ve spoon fed you all the choices, there’s no excuse for not replacing your old and tired cutlery tray - get to it, sharpish!
