All lower drawers. No spice pullout.

Spice rack i think it would be useful for olive oils, soy sauce and tall items?

Not generally. There's often not enough height, but check the interior dimensions with your cabinet supplier.

There are a lot of negative comments on this site about those spice pullouts. I don't have one, but my neighbor remodeled her kitchen this year and told me recently she wished she hadn't gotten one. When you pull it out everything moves and it's hard to see and reach things when they're down low. She cooks a lot.

No spice rack, even for oils or condiments. The jars and bottles will jostle and fall on their sides, and when you need to find something, you have to squat down and peer into it. They also should not be stored next to a heat source.

Spice pullouts next to a range are not done much anymore because anyone who has had them before does not re-order them for their next kitchen. Do your second plan shown in your OP, but remove the spice rack, so instead of 26" drawers, widen them to the width that would have been taken up by the spice rack.

I like the spice drawer inserts shown above in the photo by @Sabrina Alfin Interiors. I also like the knife inserts instead of the bulky knife block taking up space on the kitchen counter. The knife insert does not have to be as wide as the one pictured above; they come in several widths.

Not to mention, oven heat isn't great for your oils either.

Oils/vinegars can go in an upper cabinet or in a pantry. Aside from oil, most of those items are not dumped into a pan. They are typically used in prep. I have mine in an upper cabinet that's easily accessible to my prep space.

Spices in a drawer work best IMO (I've had a number of different spice arrangements so my experience runs the gamut). You can also decant into mason jars and place them upright to save space. The obvious negative is the initial organization of this, and the occasional decanting. Also it's easier to see the spice than read the label to find what you need. But I've alphabetized which makes it easier.

The knife insert could be great. Another option would be a narrow cabinet for vertical storage of cutting boards or serving platters (right where you need them for plating up cooked food). A narrow cabinet on one side of the oven gives you some insulation, so that the next set of drawers beside it can store perishable items with no heat damage.

Ditch the spice pullout and go with six wider drawers. Do you use tons of spices regularly? If not divide them into two places, ones for frequent use and the others more out of the way.

I wanted some fancy pull outs for all kinds of things and my custom cabinet maker talked me out of it even though she stood to make more money off of them. Instead, I purchased from the Container Store some Lazy Susan's for spices and oils that goes in an upper cabinet near the hood, and a wood knife holder that lays flat in a top drawer. At first it seemed disappointing to have a custom kitchen without all these fancy drawers, but in the end my kitchen holds so much more and is more functional because of how much bigger my cabinets and drawers are without chopping them up. Plus, when I'm cooking fast, grabbing something out of a cabinet door is way more practical than bending down into a pullout.

Interesting we have a spice rack pull out and love it. We have oils on bottom, they don’t fall over at all, nor do they get warm etc. we have spices on top. No issues at all. Super happy

Two equal banks of drawers looks MUCH nicer and will also be more functional. I have spices in a top drawer and it is glorious. 26 inches is a good size for drawers (could use for pots, dishes, bakeware, tupperware, etc.)

Trust the comments above. No pull out. I have one next to my range and I use it for oils, vinegars, soy sauce etc and it's hard to store them there. Not convenient at all. Bottles are often too tall and the bottom shelf is hard to access. In my other kitchen these things are stored in an upper cabinet and it's much more convenient. I store spices in a drawer. If you keep the pullout, I prefer two 26" drawer bases.

Can you do matching drawer bases flanking a 30” opening for the range? Then whatever is left as the drawer under the window?

Why does the plan say the range is 31”?

I would make your range hood the recommended 36” above the 30” stove for better capture of fumes.

Then can you adjust the two matching uppers flanking the 36” hood?

I’d put spices in the top drawer under the window.

Wow i am glad i asked before i confirmed my design

i like the look of drawers bottom and I think upper cabinet for oils or pantry might work ok actually

i never had spice rack and didnt know it would be actually uncomfortable to use

thank you :)

I will do matching 26” drawers beside stove and 36” to align under window :)

stove 31 inch is to put side panel for stove i think for heat

Re: tall items you posted yesterday. We have a taller drawer and we use file organizers( from container store), perfectly keep our tall items such as cooking oils, olive oils, soy sauce, fish sauce, etc. The stuffs that we use everyday for Asian cooking.

Thats promising thank you

another question,

for my sink cabinet on kitchen island

would it be better to do pull out like second photo and one door or should i keep two doors without pull out?

due to my plumbing,

if we do pull out it will only have 10-12” drawer size like blue box… but I wonder if it will be still a better decision than regular2 doors

my sink is 33” cabinet..
