A simple, practical approach is to organize your gear around how you use it:

• Keep a ready-to-go bag packed with your most-used kit so you can grab it quickly.
• Store the rest in a larger camera bag or a dedicated cabinet/shelf nearby.
• Keep tripods and light stands separate.

Several photographers prefer keeping gear in camera backpacks or sling bags at home, since the dividers already organize bodies, lenses, cards, batteries, and flash gear. This also makes it easy to leave quickly without repacking.

Whatever storage furniture you choose, the key protection issue is moisture control. Humidity can encourage fungus growth in lenses, so store gear in a dry place and use silica gel or rechargeable desiccant packs in bags or cabinets. Recharge or replace them periodically.

So: prioritize an organized bag-based system or dry cabinet/shelving setup, and add moisture control. That will usually matter more than finding a specialized padded drawer unit.
