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 usually about 24 deep to allow for a roughly 25 deep countertop with a slight lip. 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.
