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.
Kitchen cabinets hang at standard heights that relate to the position of the countertop and certain appliances. Cabinets over the sink hang at a different height than those over open cabinet space, or the oven, for instance. This is to allow head room over the sink for cleaning and washing dishes. When designing your kitchen, work these measurements into your design for a better result.
