Having not one but TWO of these blights that are blind corners to boot, that can only be accessed with a lot of banged heads, contortionist tricks (and just a tiny bit of cursing), you have my sympathy. I have ended up going with baskets (plastic ones so I can pop a lid on and have it all together) until I can afford my dream kitchen reno and used them for excess Corningware I only use at big family/friend gatherings such as the Easter and Christmas periods as I have to take out all my pantry items to get to them (it also encourages at least twice a year a full clean out). If you have space each side of the corner I'd go for a corner door (such as http://www.cabinets-online.com.au/category1000016_1.htm) and go the lazy susan route (if you can get one with a high edging/rim it'll stop things flying off when you spin it a bit too fast). If you've got a blind corner while expensive and understanding that you're always going to not be able to utilize every millimetre of space Leman corners are a good option http://www.hafele.com.au/HafeleHome/products/kitchen/corner-storage/lemans-ii/

just realised that my suggestion has overlapped with Dr Retro and i agree that you should be able to have (from left to right) a 900 wall cabinet with three equal doors, a 900 wall cabinet with the 900 wide rangehood and three equal doors and a 600 wide wall cabinet with three equal doors ie 8 x 300 wide doors with the left hand side of the range hood wall cabinets lined up with the 900 corner cabinet BUT is there any special reason why the wall cabinet for the rangehood was suggested as 1000 wide?? if so, the same concept applies ie left hand wall cabinet would be 850 wide with three equal doors, 1000 wide range hood cabinet with three equal doors, right hand cabinet 550 wide with two equal doors..ie 5 doors about 270 wide and 3 doors about 330 wide above the rangehood but aim for the 8 x 300 doors.. the cabinet maker should allow for all the necessary clearances and fillers to create a uniform appearance

Thanks dreamer, might look into a sliding window for the splashback. And have put the benchtop as 650mm for now, may increase further. Thanks siriuskey. I am leaning towards your design and using the corner as appliance/pantry. The bifold from bench height up would certainly work really well functionally but I’m not sure I’d like the look. I’ve sketched up having the area 800 deep to house the fridge and to have a step in pantry/appliance cupboard (500 deep bench, 300 step in cavity). 2 variations of the cupboard, first with sliding doors opening from centre (approx 1m opening so might feel a bit pokey), or second with perhaps stacker doors to right or bifold (this would block off bench space between pantry and sink when open though). This cupboard would be pretty big (2280mm) so don’t think we’d need the appliance cupboard next to dining area. And could have oven under cooktop. Dining and kitchen could be separated by small wall.

Hi I have a large bathroom with a closet for washer and dryer. I love it. Off my bedroom. But also have you thought about making study into bedroom with an en-suite and the laundry tucked in there behind doors. If your selling a bedroom downstairs for an older person its very attractive and nice to be separate from the others. Then the two bedrooms upstairs have there own bathroom. Also you are having toilet tucked under staircase for visitors. If you had heaps of space then yes have a separate laundry but it’s a waste of space when you haven’t. I have my laundry essentials in a cupboard under my bathroom vanity which is 1800 cm long and still have two 1m drawers next to cupboard.
