Storage that gets used: drawers, trays, and the end of dead corners

14 February 2026 · Design

Beautiful doors matter, but opening a drawer and finding everything within reach is what makes a kitchen feel expensive in daily use.

Drawers versus doors

Where depth allows, wide drawers with dividers beat low base cupboards for pans and containers. Corner solutions (Le Mans, carousel, or bespoke angled trays) are matched to how often you will reach into them.

We flag items that need ventilation or height (bins, small appliances, tall bottles) so the internal layout is signed off before manufacturing begins.

Wall units and larders

Full-height larders with pull-out baskets suit bulk storage; shallow spice pull-outs beside the hob save crossing the room mid-recipe. We set internal dimensions to off-the-shelf containers where you want them, rather than leaving you to guess what fits a 400 mm-wide shelf.

Wall cabinets over worktops need lift-up or hinged doors that do not bash foreheads or collide with tall taps. We model the open position against your appliance and splashback choices.

Future-proofing

Spare blank panels, adjustable shelves, and accessible voids for later charging or smart-home hubs cost little at build time and save hacking carcasses later. We mark those opportunities on the drawings so they are not accidentally filled in on site.
