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 are also usually 34.5 tall, allowing for a 36 overall height once the countertop material is added. To calculate the size of wall (or upper) cabinets, add 18-20 to the counter height. Subtract this from the overall height of your ceiling and you will have the range you can work in for cabinet size.
