We had the same problem. We found a cabinet at Lowe's that fit the space and almost matched the existing cabinets. We loosened the laminate countertop to put it in place. We found hardware to match existing cabinets. Later we upgraded the countertop to granite.
you could cut a piece of plywood to fit - tack insulation on underside - glue a piece or two of tile on top side 1/2 inch overlap all the way around and set in place. The over lap of tile will keep plywood from falling through and to secure it staple edge to existing floor. This will help keep heat in and critters out. Get a plastic drawer set on wheels from Walmart or somewhere to fit inside and make a cabinet door to match the others in kitchen. Great storage and make over.
I like Morgan's idea for open storage. I'll just add to idea. Purchase some baskets (2-3) to place on the shelves. Purchase basket prior so you will have balanced placement of shelves.
I like Lotsofpets and Morgans idea. If you can find a cabinet to fit the space or if not put in shelves. Actually I would build a cabinet to fit the space with three or four drawers.
Can you steal a door and drawer unit from either end of the bottom row of cabinets. I think open shelving would look better on the end instead of in the corner.
Another idea would be to install some kind of a corner unit to make use of the wasted blind corner space. Maybe a lazy susan using the stolen door and the existing door next to the opening for a front. Or you could just do shelves and hinge the doors together in the corner like a bifold door..
Trash can on a bottom slider would make very efficient use of space. A cabinet door can easily be mounted in front to 'hide' the garbage when not pulled out.
Depending on how handy you are you could create a wine rack and shelving combo. Wine fridge is a good idea too.
If you don’t drink then I would do shelving with sides and back. I did a similar thing in my laundry craft area in an upper space. It’s all one unit we built to fit the space. (see photo)
The plate rack under my kitchen cabinets ends up being an ugly catchall. Any suggestions for covering it up? Replacing the cabinets is not in the budget for now!

Wine refrigerator.
The power supply is already there.
What I would do is add wooden shelves in there and use it as open storage!

Trash can or shelving would be my solution. If trash can, then make sure it's pretty like stainless or a decorative finish.

You could maybe assemble a rolling storage unit that goes in and out or maybe some shelves would be nice.

What about metal tracks with slide out metal baskets? They’re normally made for closets. You can get them at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
