Pickawood UK: drawer cabinets made to measure

Drawers make it possible to store numerous things and at the same time create more order. Sideboards are popular, which, similar to the chest of drawers, help to design the living room and bedroom as box furniture and provide sufficient hidden storage space instead of compartments. The wardrobe has drawers and doors, and can also be combined with open shelves or glass inserts as a custom made sideboard. Drawer cabinets are designed to be somewhat wider than chests of drawers and are also intended as sideboards. They therefore have a top for additional storage options.

The drawer cabinet as an alternative to the open shelving unit

The sideboard is a somewhat lower cabinet that offers storage space through drawers similar to the chest of drawers or sideboard and thus provides more order in the room. Often, these pieces of furniture have a width of 120 centimetres or more and are not more than one metre high, but they can be custom made in many different ways in terms of design.
The cupboard is a further development of the traditional chest of drawers and sideboard and conveys a chic and modern design in all rooms. The height is roughly at table height, while the sideboard is both narrow and elongated. As a rule, the drawer cabinet can be set up as a free-standing unit, either as a box unit without feet or with feet. Alternatively, there is a sideboard for mounting on the wall, which is then called a hoverboard.

Structure of a custom made sideboard

The classic sideboard is elongated and narrower in depth. The height ranges from 60 to 100 centimetres, while individual compartments and drawers determine the design. In terms of design, the drawer shelf is very flexible and can consist exclusively of drawers or contain open intermediate compartments. The final element is a surface and support in the upper area, which allows decorative elements to be placed on top or another sideboard, cupboard or shelf to be added. The number of drawers can be freely determined, as can whether the models are fitted with pedestals or furniture feet.

High-quality materials for the elegant sideboard

A drawer cabinet offers plenty of storage space and makes a decisive visual contribution to the homely ambience. With sensibly chosen materials, it can be harmoniously integrated into the furnishings. A high-quality material for individual shelves with drawers is solid wood, which can also be lacquered and in different colours to define the elegant look of the piece of furniture. The natural look also has a unique effect, looks classy and natural in many rooms. Solid wood contains a mixture of hard and soft wood. At Pickawood UK, you decide for yourself which types of wood are used.

Shelves with drawers - the many possible uses.

A room looks orderly when it offers furniture that fulfils both the decorative purpose and the practical use. Storage space is important when it comes to storing different things without them directly catching the eye. Shelves with drawers are ideally suited for this and at the same time, made to custom made, allow the design of additional storage space. The relatively low cupboards are suitable for living rooms, bedrooms and children's rooms, for dining rooms, kitchens, offices and corridors. They can be used purely as a chest of drawers, decorative shelf or sideboard, house bar and crockery cupboard. The narrow design takes up little space and is suitable for storing the flat screen or hi-fi system. In the hallway, shelves with drawers for clothes and shoes are useful.
In the bedroom, the drawer unit serves as a chest of drawers and allows plenty of space and storage thanks to its wide design. Clothes can be easily stored, while the TV can be placed on top of the wardrobe. For the bedroom, shelves with drawers are a good choice; they have many drawers and can be closed quietly thanks to the soft-close function. In the living room or dining room, drawer units can be used in many ways, for example for crockery, as a house bar, sideboard or for decorative purposes.

Drawer cabinets custom made

The sideboard can be custom made. This applies to the materials, the fittings and the number and division of the drawers, columns and compartments. You can order your sideboard plain and stylish or in eye-catching colours. It is also possible to build the drawers and doors with or without handles.
Via an online configurator, you can realise your ideas at Pickwood, plan the model in length and height and assemble it in the construction. Sideboards with pedestals and feet are elegant. At Pickawood UK, you can choose from 9 variants. The material has a decisive influence on the effect in the room. Choose from 11 types of solid wood and 5 other materials at Pickawood UK and design your dream custom made sideboard.

What styles are there for shelving units with drawers?

The drawer cabinet is characterised by its space-saving design and extensive storage space at the same time. It can be excellently combined with a shelf or be a pure chest of drawers. Modern styles are popular, where the design is minimalist and simple and based on basic geometric shapes. Technical details and elements, e.g. LED lighting or the soft-close system for quiet opening of the drawers, are added to the equipment. Alternatively, there is the natural and country house style, which is reminiscent of classic designs and contains decorative elements, or the Scandinavian style, which is characterised by light wood and rounded corners and edges.

Which colours are recommended for a drawer cabinet?

with drawers are very versatile in terms of design. Light wood looks just as elegant as dark wood and is harmonious in its natural form, warm and reminiscent of the style of past times. Lacquer finishes can be used to create more modern and high-gloss surfaces that create a stylish look in the colours grey, white and black or playfully decorate the room in bright colours. In terms of colour, the cabinet should be oriented towards the furnishings, but can set stylish accents.

How can shelves with drawers be made extravagant?

A drawer cabinet also allows extravagance to enhance a room in a modern and luxurious way. The architectural styles are oriented towards baroque or rococo and make the cabinet an eye-catcher. Materials such as glass, marble or shiny metal have an extravagant effect. Custom made, there are no limits to the ideas.

What are the custom made dimensions of a drawer cabinet?

The drawer cabinet is custom made and can be individually configured. Heights of between 50 and 100 centimetres and widths of 120 to 220 centimetres are common. In terms of depth, drawer cabinets tend to be narrow and rarely exceed 35 centimetres.

How can a drawer cabinet be safely assembled or fastened?

The drawer cabinet is not particularly heavy and bulky and, compared to the chest of drawers, is also suitable for mounting on the wall. Typical models stand on small plinths or furniture feet or can be assembled without them. For wall mounting, it should be solid, e.g. made of concrete. The load-bearing capacity of the suspension can be checked using the manufacturer's specifications and adjusted to the total weight.
