When we consider kitchen storage, it can contain cabinetry that may have a lot to store. Accessing this cabinetry in the most flush and non-annoying way is important. When it comes to cabinetry, the two most popular types are cabinets with doors and cabinets with drawers. Since both have their own list of pros and cons, it may become overwhelming to decide which one is better for your use. But fret not, we are here. We have compiled and collated every single aspect for you to digest and make an informed decision on the kitchen cabinets drawers vs doors debate. Read on!

Kitchen Cabinets with Doors

When it comes to the age-old debate of kitchen cabinets drawers vs doors, if you would like to give a traditional touch to your kitchen, then please go ahead with kitchen cabinetry that has doors. One of the most defining qualities of this cabinet style is that these can be installed both above and below the counter. Above-the-counter cabinets with doors are the best ideas when it comes to storing lightweight and durable kitchen items. Under-counter cabinetry. On the other hand, it would be the best option to store heavy cooking utensils in. You can also spruce things up a bit by using glass doors for the cabinets in your kitchen. Adding some lights (like LED strips or recessed lighting) and showcasing your finest crockery can raise the bar for glam by several notches. You could also opt for some customised pull-out shelves in your kitchen. The pull-out shelf is a two-way cabinet style that can offer you seamless access to your entire storage space in the kitchen.

Cabinets with doors are the ideal way to create a conventional vibe in your kitchen. The under-counter cabinets would have ample storage for large and heavy utensils and cookware. You can also opt for what is called a shaker kitchen cabinet to spice things up a bit. If you are a fan of minimal detailing or symmetrical patterns, a shaker kitchen cabinet design would really light up the kitchen for you. Another notch up would be achieved by going for louvred or frosted glass door styles. You can also add some drama to your kitchen space by having your cabinets installed or painted in peppy colours.

Kitchen Cabinets with Drawers

I want you to close your eyes and imagine how effortless your time in the kitchen would feel if you could get everything at the stretch of your hand. Whenever you want it, wherever you want it in the kitchen. Sounds like paradise, right? Now, let’s make it happen in real life. And the way to do that for your kitchen is by installing cabinets with drawers in your kitchen. The core purpose of kitchen drawer design for cabinets is to give you easy and seamless access to all your kitchen essentials like cooking items.

Imagine a 360° concept that houses everything ranging from your spoons and forks and knives to your heavy cookware like a pressure cooker or a wok. A single draw-out-based cabinet could potentially give you full access to your kitchenware. You can also opt to go for a shallow peg system in order to store mid-sized items like jars, mugs, and bottles. With kitchen cabinet drawers, just like with kitchen pull fout drawers, one of the best things is that the access you have to your cookware is categorised. This means that you do not need to remove the items in the front to reach the items stored in the back. In summary, cabinets with drawers are extremely easy to use and when designed correctly, can store everything you need in your vibrant kitchen space.

 

A kitchen cabinet with drawers can make your kitchen look more organised. In order to achieve the best possible functions out of it, we’d suggest you go for a combination of the slide, pull, and insert modes for the drawers. Using pan holder trays, using a knife organiser, and even a peg drawer organiser are pretty great ways to create compartments in your kitchen space.
