How can I make a plan to use a corner for many functions?

I’m trying to figure out how to put all in a 39 by 39” space in the corner: 3 trash cans (for trash, papers and beverage cans), water dispenser (the one that you can open door in front and put water bottle in, instead of putting bottle upside down on top) and coffee maker. If possible a broom there, too. Could anyone of you please draw up a plan for me? Thank you.

    The three trash cans can be stacked at a slant with a little help from a wood structure built to hold them. A shelf can be mounted on the wall above the water dispenser and the trash containers and the broom should fit next to the trash. Good luck on your project.

    I didn’t explain well. I would like to put them all together with wood around them.

    Hi Amy,

    If you want to put wood all around them, take what Heje suggested and build the walls with 2x4's and plywood. It's hard for us to give you exact plans, partly because we don't know how much room you'll need for each object. Plus most of us are members like you and don't have apps to create exact plans. We can help you with ideas, like Heje did and perhaps point you to projects done by others. Here are some ideas for several different kinds of storage that that other people have used. Maybe one of these will help inspire you to create one that perfectly fits the area in your home. I hope this helps you.
