I like the corner drawers for certain applications. My experience with them is much like the Magic Corner, in that they may not utilize 100% of the space, but what they do use is really accessible. A couple of hardware manufacturers make a set for full-overlay type cabinetry that I find a little buggy, enough so that I avoid them. Corner drawers seems to work best in a face-frame style of

Yes, actual living breathing people live in the kitchens we design. It's important to remember that and take the time to design around them and not just the "guidelines." thanks for the post!

Great post Arne. Understanding how your clients live and how they actually use their space is vital to a good functioning design and that should be the first focus.

I have been in some kitchens where the sink has been at a window and the window literally faced a wall. LOL Then when they went to redesign the kitchen, they insisted the sink must be at the window! Really? Why must the sink be at a window that faces a wall?

I do like the space between each receptor; allows for the bulky plugs of today's devices!
