Drawer within drawer?

6 replies

So I have several deep drawers in the kitchen in which I keep pans, plates and baking implements. One is reserved for cutlery and small implements. The cutlery half is easy to keep neat but the other side is (as you can see) chaos.

The drawer is deep enough to put another layer (sub-drawer?) inside which would give me more horizontal space to spread things out. Is this something anyone has heard of? Where might I be able to find the materials to make one?

Thanks in advance!

I have a few of the Maximera hidden drawers in my kitchen, they are one of my favourite things! Lots more useful storage space, plus it was a while after we fitted the kitchen before the DC realised they existed so one had my secret chocolate stash in Grin

Oh brilliant! Thanks.

I'll have to measure up to see what size I need and order one.

I had decided against these drawers within drawers as a bit of a faff, but this is an incredibly compelling reason to get one

I have literally just been wondering about the Ikea ones! Is it not a pain having to open two drawers to get at a random implement mid-cooking? I do like the neatness of having them tucked away but feels like it would be really annoying to live with.

No, we love them. Not really a faff at all, but we keep quite defined things in them - ramakins and chopping boards at the moment.
