Full overlay diagonal corner cabinet
3/27/15
I am doing full overlay for the first time and am wondering where to fudge on the corner cabinet so the doors will have clearance to open. Mainly I will be using 1.5" ff stiles and 1.25" compact hinges. Where the diagonal cabinet meets the other cabinet I don't know whether to make the diagonal cabinet door smaller or the door/drawer front on other cabinet it butts into. The diagonal cabinet is next to a wine fridge on the other side, that sticks out 25", so I was planning on adding a little 1" faceframe strip to the edge of the diagonal cabinet to give some clearance for the fridge. Would it make the most since to just leave 1" of reveal on the other side? I need to draw it up and see how that will look, but wanted some input if someone has dealt with this before. Thanks.

I drew it w/ 3/4" overlay on the doors and a 3/4" strip by the fridge. Everything else will have a 1/4" gap. Do you think this looks acceptable?

You can always use a Blum corner hinge and instead of making the corner cabinet with face frames you could make it frameless and have tighter reveals. All of the reveals in the kitchen should be the same as far as I'm concerned. And having something different for the corner cabinet would look off. With this hinge you can get spacing as close as 2mm.

The hinge is Blum 79T5550. It doesn't come in a soft close version unfortunately.

I agree with Leo, the reveals should be consistent. I did this kitchen rehab with Blum compact hinges on face frames of about 1.5", and used the separate soft close plungers. I had to use hinges with different overlays to get the reveals constant, and had to mortise some of the faceframes a bit, too. Just draw it out full scale and you'll figure it out.
