The curved sink will waste a lot of space installing a simple   box.  A better way is to do a   U-shaped drawer that fits the shape of your sink and fills the   corners on both sides.

Another solution is to convert this space into a   tilting drawer to store constantly needed little things.  This takes advantage of the normally   overlooked narrow section in front of the sink.

The lower cabinet   section

Because of the pipes and ducts on the back, the part of the   cabinet under the sink lacks the right depth.    The best way to use this space is through installation   Sliding drawers This gives you easy access to an   otherwise hard-to-reach area.

The advantage of such a construction is that you can use different   products of different sizes to bypass any obstacles under the sink while   keeping everything visible.  Remember   that you’ll need chrome-plated or plastic-coated products to prevent rust   from forming.

Here are some options:

  • There are a couple of racks out there with that   removable shelf pieces That can be taken out and   rearranged around the pipes to avoid a standard layout.
  • Or you can forego installing a rack altogether and use it instead   stackable plastic containers organize the space   under the sink.  With bins of different   sizes, you can easily adjust them to fit the space   available.

Sliding storage

However, the best option is to install a sliding storage   system.  Because space under the sink   is limited, these storage options can be moved into the room when not in   use.

in addition, Reaching the sponges and cleaning   fluids stored in these containers is easy as they slide out   for easy access.  Because of this, the   greatest variety of storage organizers on the market slip under the sink in   nature.

  • Most of the options listed so far require installation.  But what if you don’t go into that much   effort and just want a ready-to-use solution?    ONE pull-out caddy is exactly what you   need.  It fits snugly in tight spaces,   e.g.  B. in the corner of your sink.
