Remodeling or building a new kitchen involves several decisions, including selecting cabinets. Standard kitchen cabinet sizes simplify this process by providing consistent dimensions for base, wall, and tall cabinets.
Base cabinets are located between the countertop and floor, supporting countertop activities. Their standard height is 34.5 inches (36 inches with the countertop), depth is 24 inches, and width ranges from 12 to 48 inches. Wall cabinets hang above the counter and vary in style. They have standard heights of 12 to 42 inches, depths of 12 or 24 inches, and widths of 12 to 36 inches. Tall cabinets, often used as pantry storage, stand at heights between 84 to 94 inches with depths of 12 to 24 inches and widths of either 12, 24, or 36 inches.
To measure for kitchen cabinets effectively: sketch your floor plan considering appliance placement; measure horizontally along walls; measure vertically from ceiling to floor; account for trim or molding; ensure proper cabinet depth without obstructing movement; and consult a professional for installation.
