Everything you need to know about finding a drawer system supplier

Custom designed and made drawer systems can really enhance your storage space and reduce the amount of wasted space you have in a kitchen or pantry. These types of drawer systems can be used inside pantries, for awkward corner cupboard spaces or even as complete replacements for cupboards.

Unfortunately, if you're renovating a kitchen and you're on a tight budget, you may not be able to justify the cost of a custom designed system. This is where finding out about pre-made drawer systems could help cut your costs and still give you that customised finish that could add value and increase storage at the same time.

Effectively designed drawer systems can be a great way to really maximise the amount of storage space you have available in any room of the house. The key to getting it right is to think about your intended purpose and then work on finding the right system to meet your needs.

Ready-Made Drawer Systems

Choosing a set of ready-made drawers for use in the pantry can be quite easy. These can be available in wood, plastic or metal options from a variety of providers. Some hardware stores stock ready-made drawer systems, including inserts suited to cutlery, herb and spice storage, and other alternatives.

Before you purchase your drawer system, think about your intended purpose. If you wish to store tins or small items, such as herbs and spices, you may want to consider shallow drawers. However, if you want to store larger items, such as pots or pans, deeper drawers will make storage and access to these items much easier

Larger, deeper drawers should ideally be installed low in the pantry, as the items you'll be storing in these will often be heavy or awkward. Smaller drawers can be placed a little higher, but still shouldn't be above eye level if possible.

If you intend for the drawers to be out of sight within a closed pantry, it's up to you whether you want to worry about finding a finish that will match in with your other kitchen cupboards or not.

Wardrobe Drawer Systems

Renovating a small bedroom can be difficult if you have a lack of storage space. Adding a chest of drawers to the room will increase storage, but may also reduce the available space in the room. Rather than clutter an already-small room with more furniture, it may be a good idea to consider using a drawer system designed to increase storage, yet remain out of sight until needed.

Calling a wardrobe company and asking them to design and customise your drawer system within a wardrobe, built-in robe or walk-in robe can be an expensive option. Yet it is possible to buy pre-made drawer systems specifically for use within closets. Some home hardware stores will have these readily available in an array of sizes and designs.

You have the option to add as many drawers or extra shelves as you need to increase your clothing storage space, yet still keep your drawers out of sight. Smaller drawers for underwear or socks should be positioned near the top of the system, while larger drawers could easily contain folded clothing, such as sweaters or t-shirts.
