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.
Upper Cabinets. Some upper cabinets meet the ceiling; some donât. The installation height is based on the amount of space needed between the top of the counter and bottom of the upper cabinets. In most homes, this spacing is 18 inches; in an accessible kitchen, uppers are more convenient 15 inches from the counter.
