Whether or not you should get a Blum drawer for your BTO home depends on your specific needs and preferences. Here are five factors to consider when making your decision.
Space optimization
Blum drawers are known for their efficient use of space. If you have limited storage options in your small apartment, a Blum drawer could provide you with additional storage capacity while maximizing the available space.
Organization
Blum drawers often come with various organizational features such as dividers, inserts, and compartments. If you value keeping your belongings well-organized, a Blum drawer can help you achieve that. You can customize the drawer to suit your specific storage requirements, ensuring everything has its place.
Accessibility
Blum drawers typically have full-extension runners, allowing you to access the entire contents of the drawer with ease. This can be especially beneficial in a small apartment where every inch of storage matters. You won’t have to struggle to reach items at the back of the drawer, making it more convenient for daily use.
Budget
Blum drawers are often considered high-quality and durable, but they can be more expensive compared to other drawer options. Consider your budget and weigh it against the benefits and value you expect to gain from having a Blum drawer.
Long-term plans
If you’re planning to stay in your small apartment for an extended period, investing in a quality storage solution like a Blum drawer can be a worthwhile investment. However, if you anticipate moving to a larger space in the near future, you might want to evaluate whether the cost and effort of installing a Blum drawer are justified for your current situation.
Ultimately, the decision to get a Blum drawer depends on your personal preferences, storage needs, and budget constraints. It may be helpful to assess your specific requirements, your available space, and compare the benefits and costs of a Blum drawer against alternative storage options before making a final decision.
For me personally, I made my decision to have a 30kg Blum Drawer Runner. It contains two small pots, two medium pots, one small non-stick frying pan, one medium non-stick frying pan, one cast iron tamagoyaki pan, one medium sized carbon steel wok and lastly, one large sized carbon steel wok. A 30kg runner is sufficient for heavy kitchen stuff for drawers more than 800mm width. Also, another reminder to consider the weight of the drawer as well!
