Hi Linda;
In my old house we had one like this and I could not reach anything and when I moved I found things I forgot about! The best idea is to install a lazy susan, it is a half type circle that usually has 2-3 shelves on it depending on the height of your cabinet. You just turn it to find what you need. You will still have dead space behind it because it is installed closer to the front of the cabinet. I will give you info below on this and other ideas..I used to store items I rarely used in mine but still hard to get things out. Good luck

If you want to spend some money, you can add a blind corner shelf that pulls out. It's on my wish list but I just can't bring myself to spend the cash so in the mean time, I have a tub that is about 6" tall that I slide in and out for the bottom to hold things that aren't used often but I need to keep around. On the top shelf I have my large electric skillet. It has handles so it slides in & out easily and takes up most of the space.
Here's a bunch of ideas

Hello I agree with you -these corner cabinets are difficult to view and access. It almost seems like a waste of space. I wish our design had more drawers and less cabinets with shelves. The pull out drawers might be something to consider.
I agree on the lazy susan idea - its not ideal (and I know some people that hate them) but unless pull out drawers are an option a lazy susan is the best option out there.
You can retrofit those annoying corner cupboards with pull out shelves - it might be a custom item though. The lazy Susan might be an easier addition.
I would add alazy susan inside so you can spin things out. They make 2 tiered ones if your space is tall.
We just had ours redone into a huge lazy susan. It is SOOO amazing. I literally can fit everything in it that used to be in our pantry and it is so much easier to get out.
Is it big enough to add a trash can? Or maybe add a pull out bottom. That's what I have in my cabinets that are on the bottom. They pull out so you can reach everything.
How do you keep things from falling behind a lazy Susan? Mine has a ridge around it but some things just fall behind. When missing a lid, I know to look behind the lazy Susan and there it will be.
