Can you change kitchen cupboards to drawers?

They’re a great improvement for a space that’s too small. It may sound like hype, but adding pull out drawers for cabinets, or rollouts, to your kitchen cabinets can be life-changing.

How big should my kitchen cupboards and drawers be?

Floor level cabinets are normally between 580mm and 600mm deep, and for that reason reaching the back of lower compartments can be a pain.

What should the handles be on cupboards and drawers?

The look and materials you use on your cabinetry and drawers should fit in with the overall style you’ve chosen for your kitchen.
