What are you storing? What does your CKD recommend? How big is your kitchen? Post some photos of your existing space.

We are finishing a kitchen remodel for which I scoured old Houzz posts for research and guidance. Final product: all lowers are drawers except 1) printer cabinet with rollout tray, 2) corner cabinet with pullout mechanism, and 3) one tall door cupboard with rollout trays. I am a thorough planner and went through every previous cabinet and drawer to create an inventory list of what we store in our kitchen. I then used our initial cabinet rendering to assign a spot to everything. I measured height and diameter of large pots to compare with interior dimensions of drawers. After installation, there were only a couple items that needed to be adjusted. Happy planning!

Only you can answer this question, and the best way to figure it out is to develop a storage plan for the new kitchen. Figure out where you will put virtually EVERYTHING, and consider putting things near their point of use: dishes near the DW, pots and pans, spices, cooking utensils, potholders near the range; knives, cutting boards, colanders near the prep sink. The consider a place for other things: cookie sheets, large stock pots, storage containers, bags and wraps, towels, small appliances, dry good. Don't put things away just because that's where you store them now - that may not be the most efficient.

I used masking tape to block out a drawer size, then placed items inside the tape, to see how much room I really needed.

In general, drawers are far more efficient than base cabinets; an extra few inches of depth in upper cabinets is worthwhile; make the upper cabinets as tall as reasonable (at least 8' from the floor).

Larger drawers are better. 36-48" cabinets give you a bit less for the interior of the drawers. This can depend on frameless vs overlay cabinets. Find out what the dimensions of the interiors of your drawers are.

ordering them from who?

where's your diagram/plan for the kitchen?

what's the size you have?

any island?

you're asking a random question w/no basis to go off of.

drawers are usually better for storage

IMO there are extremely few reasons to have a lower cabinet. Corner cabinets, undersink, and pantry cabinets are, in fact, the only situations I can think of - but even under sink cabinets can come with drawers.

What is the "right amount" of drawers? That depends on what and how much you need to store.

I made a mistake in my wide 3 drawer stack - the bottom drawer for pots and pans, the shallower middle one for pot lids, mixing bowls, pie plate, casserole dish, and the top for knives, silverware and all other utensils. The mistake was that it would have been more efficient to split that top drawer into 2 shallower drawers, to store the utensils separately from the silverware and knives and access them more easily. Would also then have had room in one for my dishtowels. That's why AnnKH's advice is so good - plan, and think about not just what but how you will arrange things in the drawers (and cabinets).

I also think most trash and sink cabinets are wasted space, so unless you really have a need for a large sink, get a more modestly sized one and the smallest cabinet that it can be fit into. Fit it with pull outs for the trash, recycling, compost and/or cleaning supplies.

I am a huge fan of frameless cabinets and drawers in my small kitchen - more efficient use of space.

Corner cabinets, undersink, and pantry cabinets are, in fact, the only situations I can think of - but even under sink cabinets can come with drawers.

Corner cabinets can come with drawers too.

First, I suggest you purge. Then plan as suggested, but also plan a bit for the future. I have enough space, but when I renovated I had no idea I’d get Instant Pots and a toaster oven/air fryer and the accessories these appliances require. Deep, wide drawers have saved my sanity.

You're "ordering" based on what kitchen plan. What are you replacing...What is the existing kitchen and where is the plan for the new kitchem WITH appliances etc?

Nobody can answer intelligently, without that information. Every single thing in feet and inches.Window as well, should there be one

IMO drawers are the answer and now you can even get them under your sink form some makers . Yes we need a to scale floor plan and all the appliances should be on hand before any design is begun since getting appliances is a huge issue right now.In this pic the last cabinet brfore the window is an actul pullout for oils and vinegars

All my pots and pans and cooking utensils are in the drawers in the stone wall pic those cabinets are on casters to allow me to move them to clean the stone a couple of times a year . Kitchen design needs to be all about how you cook and what you need to store where . I use my mixer almost every day so no point in dragging it out . I do not like built in MWS so have a counter top one again used for different things daily. This is the reason to get an independant KD who can design without any limitations form software.
