There’s an approximately 24"×24"×32" space in the corner of my kitchen between the actual cabinet and the range.

I’m at a loss. The house is fairly small, and I’m an efficiency nut, so 10ft³ of totally useless space bugs me. The proximity to the oven would make extending the cabinet back that way and using some kind of blind-corner storage solution impractical.

We’ve been thinking about getting a new water heater, the current one is ancient and lives in a little enclosure outside, about 12’ away. Can we get one of those short ones and tuck it in there or is that likely to overheat?

We’ve also been talking about a whole-house water fountain system, but I’m worried that changing filters would be incredibly annoying.

    I worked on a project recently that had a water heater in that corner with the same exact setup. It’s pretty close at the sides but since it’s round there is plenty of room around it.

    Edit: and no pull out there works because the door needs clearance to fully open. They do make blind corner pull outs that pull with the door in another direction but it would still need to be smaller to clear the range.
