Sink cabinet size: Diagonal corner cabinets come in two standard sizes: 36" and 42". And since they're less common, I think corner sinks look striking and unique in the kitchen.ģ. It also allows for longer stretches of uninterrupted counter space on either side (so important in a small kitchen). Best of all, a diagonal corner sink actually utilizes the corner, and maximizes a space that's often unused. There will be some "wasted" counter space behind the sink, but that can be a great spot for plants and herbs, especially if you have windows above. On the other hand, I think diagonal corner sinks are a DO. It could be okay for a secondary prep sink, but in general I would say an L-shaped sink is a DON'T. It's uncomfortable to stand in a sharp corner for a long period of time, and an L-shaped sink makes it difficult to wash large dishes. The L-shaped sinks were universally hated in the forums I read. Sink cabinet shape: You can either get a "true" corner cabinet shaped like an L, where you're standing in a 90 degree corner, or a corner cabinet on a diagonal, like ours. In our case, we used an 18" trash pull-out which works perfectly and is super convenient.Ģ. So DO put a small cabinet between the sink and dishwasher to give yourself room to move while loading dishes. This was the number one complaint I saw in forums about corner sinks. But with a corner sink, if the dishwasher is right next to the sink then you are seriously boxed in when the dishwasher door is open. Dishwasher placement: In a standard kitchen layout, the dishwasher usually goes next to the sink, to minimize drips while loading dishes. I also learned why some people love theirs, and the ideas to copy! I've compiled those do's and don'ts, for anyone else considering a corner sink layout. We have no regrets (phew)!īut through all my late night googling, I learned why some people hate their corner sinks, and the mistakes to avoid. And now that our kitchen is done, I'm so glad we did! Our corner sink is perfect for our kitchen and needs. But we forged ahead with the corner sink placement. But I kept doubting! This was our opportunity to redesign the kitchen from scratch! Should we have put the sink in the island? Or on the back wall? We could have cut a new window facing the backyard.would that have been better?! I was really nervous, especially after receiving a few comments and DMs from people who have corner sinks that they hate (if one of them was you, I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns and I did take them into consideration). Sticking with the same basic layout would obviously save us money too. The windows are in that corner, so we decided it would make sense to keep the sink there. But none of them gave me more anxiety than our corner sink! We inherited this sink placement from the original kitchen. There were several decisions in our kitchen remodel that kept me up late at night, googling, reading Houzz forums, and second-guessing myself.
