Optimise Your Kitchen with High-Quality Cabinet Drawers
The most functional parts of your kitchen are your drawers, appliances; ovens, sinks, stovetops bins and shelving. The structure, your drawers and cabinets, should not only provide adequate storage, they need to be functional and long-lasting. With perfectly designed and fitted cabinet drawers and runners, you can fit all your plates, glassware and cutlery for a large family in a smaller kitchen. Regardless of how busy your kitchen is, installing the right cabinet drawers is essential for ease of use, and longevity. And finally, wouldn’t you want to enjoy being in your kitchen? Most of us only have one, and we spend so much time cooking and eating it. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a stylish, elegant kitchen that feels like a part of our dream home?

How to Choose the Perfect Drawer Style for Your Kitchen
Now we’re talking! The setup for drawer types on kitchens follows a similar logical structure for most, but the style is really where you shine. What kind of ambiance do you want to create?
Here’s some pointers from us:
Matching Drawer Styles with Cabinet Design
Your drawer style and build should complement the overall cabinet size and design. For example, shaker cabinets go well with classic drawer styles, while handless drawers are definitely for those wanting a modern, minimalist look. Don’t be afraid to break the rules, but choosing matching styles for your drawers and cabinets will create a cohesive visual appeal for your kitchen layout. If you want to make a bold statement or create an eclectic style, consider making it for your benchtop or splashback, while keeping your cabinets and drawers matching.
Considerations for Material and Finish for Cabinets
If you’re interested in a mix of durability and aesthetics, choosing the right material and finish combination is paramount to completing your kitchen drawers and cabinets. Here are some popular decorative brands:
- Colourpyne: Offers versatile designs with woodgrain and solid colour options, bringing elegance to a range of styles.
- Arpa HPL: Known for high-pressure laminate durability, ideal for heavy-use kitchens.
- Fenix: Features nanotechnology for a matte, fingerprint-resistant finish, perfect for modern spaces.
