Increased amounts of drawers in kitchens reflect the simple fact that at below-waist level, they are easier to store and find things than cupboards are. Having to squat down and rummage through the back of a cupboard is far harder than pulling out a drawer. Some people prefer how they look too. They are no good for storage above waist-level though and tend to be more expensive, can stick over time and might be too easy for young children to get into. Weigh up the options when choosing for your own kitchen.
