You will need a base cabinet that is large enough to install your sink: 24â for a single-bowl sink and 36â for a double-bowl sink. Refrigerator and stove. Your preliminary kitchen design plan should include a space of 30 to 36 for the refrigerator and a space of equal dimension for the stove or cooktop.
Cabinets over your countertop measure either 30 or 42 inches tall and range in width from 12 to 36 inches. The total length of the cabinets just depends on the size of your kitchen and your layout. The overhead cabinet top hangs a total of 80 or 96 inches from the floor. It depends on the size of cabinet, how high the cabinet hangs. If you have 42-inch-tall cabinets, they will always hang at 96 inches from the floor.
