Hello everyone,

I am currently planning a kitchen redesign using Ikea Metod base cabinets and want to optimize the storage space as efficiently as possible. My specific question is: which internal fittings and organizational solutions are recommended to make the best use of the available space in the Metod base cabinets? I am especially interested in practical inserts, drawer organizers, pull-outs, or other accessories that create storage, improve organization, and make access easier. I would also like to know if there are particular combinations of internal fittings and cabinet sizes that work especially well or if there are common mistakes to avoid during planning.

I look forward to your experiences and tips!

Combine drawers with baskets to create order and clarity.

That is undoubtedly effective. I also recommend fully utilizing the drawer depth and, if needed, creating multiple levels within a single drawer, for example using inserts of varying heights.

- Single- and double-layer drawers
- Vertically adjustable dividers
- Inner drawers for flat items like baking trays

This way, you avoid unnecessary empty space and significantly increase usability.

For me, the most important aspect is flexibility through combining different drawer widths and heights. This allows you to efficiently store large pots and small spice jars side by side.
