Good morning,
we have now been living in the house for five years, and of course there are still some minor things that need to be done, but none of them are so urgent that we don’t find other “more important” tasks.
Since we are planning to paint the kitchen now (we had initially just painted almost the whole house white), I want to tackle the gap at the same time, also because you can’t reach it for painting without removing the cabinet. The gap between the kitchen cabinet and the wall was left intentionally because that is where the sliding door slides in when it is open.
The gap is about 4.5cm (1.75 inches) between the sliding door and the kitchen cabinet. The sliding door is hung from a top track, and at the bottom it only has a small guide at the reveal corner, so the back of the door swings slightly when opening. However, we rarely use the sliding door (maybe about five times a year).
What would you recommend for this? The only idea I have is some kind of brush strip, but that’s not very attractive. Maybe someone has another suggestion?
Regards

I would leave it as it is. I agree with @hanghaus2023
Yes, you can reach it. Use a small roller with an extended handle—think of your arm as an extension. Load the roller generously with paint to get into the back corner. If necessary, you can also paint or roll the side panel of the cabinet. Having a uniform finish looks better.

also because you can’t reach that area to paint anyway without dismantling the cabinet.
