Hello,

I cannot install tall cabinets in my kitchen (structurally not possible).
So I have to fit everything below + 1 tall cabinet + 1 corner pull-out cabinet.
I strongly suspect that drawer cabinets are more expensive than shelf cabinets?

But whatever...
How many large drawers would you recommend? Not these small ones for dishes and the like.
I was thinking of cups, glasses, plates. Although I also have a display cabinet in the dining room for that.
Do you think one base unit with ~1 meter width and one base unit with 0.5m width as drawer cabinets would be enough?

Where are we supposed to know your amounts of dishes from?

We also don’t have wall cabinets, but in our main kitchen there are 7 or 8 cabinets with drawers - from small to large, with the top drawer always being small, the bottom two always large.

And yes, drawers are the most expensive options.

Exactly, you can only determine that yourself.

Conclusion for us:
In the old apartment we had:
2x 90 cm wall cabinet,
1x 60 cm wall cabinet,
2x 60 cm base cabinet, partly door, partly drawer.

Now we have:
1x 90 cm drawer base cabinet,
3x 60 cm drawer base cabinet,
1x 120 cm corner sink cabinet,
2x 75 cm wall cabinet,
1x 60 cm Ullaschrank 235 cm,
1x 60 cm tall cabinet 235 cm (-oven -microwave),
1x 100 cm wall cabinet.

AND IT'S NOT ENOUGH!!!

Well, it's kind of annoying to have glasses and plates in pull-outs, for example. If you open and close them a bit more vigorously, they probably rattle a lot and might even break or chip off shards, right? On the one hand, I have very sturdy glasses, but on the other hand, I also have more delicate glasses like wine glasses, for instance. I don't necessarily want to store those in drawers. So if I can do without pull-outs here because they aren't practical anyway, I don't need to have them installed at all. I keep pots and stuff in cabinets around the stove. Then I also have a tall cabinet where I could put glasses. The base cabinets would then have to be used for what is usually stored in the tall cabinet, which is probably mainly non-perishable food. Everything is kind of suboptimal... How do you do it?

We have

    [*]7.4 m large drawers
    [*]3.4 m "cutlery size",
    [*]45er US apothecary cabinet.

    [*]3.6 m compartments in 2 wall cabinets
    [*]2.4 m pull-outs in tall cabinets
    [*]3.6 m shelves also in tall cabinets
    [*]1.2 shelves in a regular US without pull-outs.

In total about 22 m of space for stuff.
We manage well with it and have even stored most of the supplies.

We have no wall cabinets and store dishes and the like exclusively in drawers. We have 6 drawers each 1m, one of which has an inner pull-out. Then 4 drawers each 80cm, two of which have an inner pull-out (I mean these drawers inside the drawer, that's called inner pull-out, right?). There is only a slight rattling in the glass drawers, but thanks to soft-close there is basically no reason for concern – at least without teenagers in the household. That means you really have to be stupid or do it on purpose to break something. By the way, it is more than enough for us, we also have several tall cabinets for Tupper, Tupper, bread box, rice cooker, Tupper, kitchen towels, Tupper, etc.
