Your best solution during a remodel may be to transform your small odd shaped spaces into prime storage property.  All space is useable space.  

Storage no longer just for cabinets and standard closet space.  Enhance your space for storage,  double sided cabinets,  drawer inserts and pull-out shelves are simple solutions.  Don't be afraid to tap into wasted space,  if your floor plan allows, add a walk-in pantry for easy access for all your kitchen storage needs.

Think through all the items you need to store, then design and create cabinets to fit your needs.  Don't be afraid to think differently about space.  Remember to gain storage space, odd spots could be both practical and useful.
