Hello,

I cannot install tall cabinets in my kitchen (structurally not possible).
So I have to fit everything below + 1 tall cabinet + 1 corner cabinet with a swing-out door.
I strongly assume that drawer cabinets are more expensive than regular cupboard cabinets?

But never mind...
How many large drawers would you recommend? Not the small ones for cutlery and the like.
I was thinking of storing cups, glasses, plates here. Although I also have a display cabinet in the dining room for that purpose.
Do you think one base cabinet about 1 meter (3.3 feet) wide and another about 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) wide as drawer cabinets would be enough?

This is how I determined the right height for myself. Even though I am only 161 cm (5 ft 3 in) tall, a working height of 89 cm (35 in) works best for me.

Important for women – especially if they do most of the cooking – measure with the heel height/sole thickness of the shoes that are usually worn indoors, from my perspective of course.

Another tip for the perfect working height (to help avoid the common mistake of having the countertop too high):
Shoulders should not be raised while chopping, as that causes tension. However, a countertop that is too high actually leads to this issue. Many people choose a height that is too tall, which for shorter individuals is counterproductive: the correct height should keep the body comfortable and healthy. In my old house, the countertop was about 90 cm (35.5 in) and I always had tension issues. In my mother’s older, lower kitchen, I felt completely relaxed – so our island is now 5 cm (2 in) lower than the counter section with the sink.
