It might not seem like the most important decision you’ll make for your new kitchen remodel, but if you value function and organization, whether you opt for drawers or doors is a pretty big deal.
Drawers for a Life of Ease
No other cabinet choice is as storage-friendly and flexible as drawers. They are the ideal choice for storing heavy items like pots, pans, and small appliances. Drawers that pull all the way out make accessing stacking items like cookware, serving platters, bowls, and plates super easy.
The Case for Doors
Doors still have their place in the modern kitchen—the upper cabinets where you store lighter items like glassware, mugs, and more fragile items.
A combination of both types is a great design choice that can be customized to the way you use your kitchen. Just keep in mind that, in general, drawers for base cabinets offer maximum use of space.
If you still prefer the more traditional look of standard cabinets, consider installing pullouts in at least some of your lower cabinets. They make locating and removing hard to reach items a breeze.
