Kitchen drawers help

5 months ago

Hi, I have recently moved into a new property that has a kitchen with exclusively deep drawers (see pics). Is anybody aware of any product I can buy to repurpose these drawers into single tray drawers as they will be wasting a lot of space and I can't figure out how or where to put my cutlery, for example! Has anybody else ever had this problem? I have cupboards on the wall too however I really need at least two single size drawers. 😕 Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same height drawer fascias in one side of my island. In each of them l have a secret drawer to make use of the space.

1st impression carry the island until your a meter from the 1/2 bath wall. Make it a galley with all base cabinets as drawer bases. Do not try to turn the cabinets along the 1/2 bath wall. consider adding a raised bar of 47 cm with to the dining room side.

A soft mossy or grey green would be my first impulse but Sarah's dark blue looks good. It depends on your kitchen ware. White porcelains will pop with the blue and earthy stoneware will go more with the soft greens. I'd add a shelf to extend from the cabinet across the tile and a pot rack or hooks over the stove.

Hi, One of the possible plans is to block off the window and put tall units with eye level ovens, larder, fridge freezer etc. keep the sink run in a straight line with sink, dishwasher, pull out bin and in the island put in the hob with drawers underneath. Either put in ceiling mounted extractor or a downdraft depending on what stage of build you are at. Hope this helps, we are in Northern Ireland if you but do work throughout the uk. We are the largest Pronorm dealer in the whole of Ireland and a gloss white handless kitchen would look great in this space. Regards, Conor Ballycastle homecare

I love the tall units but you need to go straight to the ceiling to prevent dust and dirt settling on the top. I would put a row of small up and over cupboards along the very top as an option. Very handy for unsightly bulky items. I don't like the end open shelves by sink very dated but what you could do is a long double shelf all the way along the island with a wine racking either side for balance vertically. I think shelving each side of the sink would be better. You have a lot of cupboards but no deep drawers which are highly valued these days. Good selling point. I Like your colour suggestions... The little Greene paint company have a lovely grey so does farrow and ball. Where are you sourcing your Quartz and what flooring? Do your ovens have easy open shelf doors ..handy as they retract so don't get in the way as you take food out..Neff offer best ones. If you want a better balance of tall you could always do fridge freezer one side and pull out pantry on the other with racking. Then on sink side don't go all the way along the wall just have it as centred space so you can pull out larder doors. On your island you will need your bin as this'll be prep area? What is the room opposite tall cupboards? Need the island to look good from that side as that is what you will see. Hope of help. I'm embarking on the same thing and have spent hours and hours researching!

I guess that's the kind of thing I'm looking for! Can I ask where you bought the drawer and how it is fixed?

The top secret drawer has bottom runners as opposed to the normal side hung runners. The clips are on the side of the drawer carcase and onto the bottom of the top drawer. The drawer boxes are available online. I think ours were from Probox or something similar.

These drawer fascias are 355mm high. If you were to have only 3 drawers in a multi drawer pack you’d normally have the top cutlery drawer at 140 and the mid and bottom drawer fascia at 283mm.
