Looking for storage ideas for a deep but not very high alcove

Some kind of 360 degree carousel where you can rotate it to fetch things out of it? eg a 1m wide carousel would take up 1m of your depth, with a 30cm worktop space in front. If you cut the worktop around the carousel to give a flat surface with no gaps you can have effectively the first 50+30=80cm of depth as 'workspace' or with storage against a divider, but you can spin it around to access the rear portion behind the divider.

You could have the worktop in front fold to one side (pub counter style) to give access to levels of the carousel below the worktop.

I would look for some variant of this (IKEA VARIERA Pull-out container)

Could you not build a "cupboard" which fits in the space, but is on castors or some runners so it can be pulled out? Even if the space the cupboard moved out into (I assume a sort of passageway) is not very wide, any drawers in the cupboard could be arranged to pull sideways into the passageway, rather than across it to allow easy access.

Also, can you make the work surface hinged so it can be pulled up out of the way?

That last bit, a folding to one side worktop, is a good idea. Thank you.

That might be a possibility, I'll add it to my list of possible ways to do things. :-)

That, like Theo's (?) above is definitely a good idea, I'm going to take a serious look at how that might work.

Thank you all.

For shallow but deep storage in our motor home I used plastic storage boxes with lids, and a cord to pull each one out. So you would have the front storage box for frequently used items, and the rear storage box for less popular items. You could then pull out a box and put it on the work surface, and if required pull out the other box. A bit inelegant, but works.

Similar in principle to storing stuff under a double bed.

Aldi had some useful long, narrow clear plastic fridge 'organisers' last Saturday
