#Design your cabinets. 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. Subtract this from the overall height of your ceiling and you will have the range you can work in for cabinet size. Standard wall cabinet depth is 12-14". The lower cabinet width will be somewhere between 12-60" in 3" increments. 15", 18", 21", and 24" are the most common sizes. Don't forget to plan your cabinet size around the cabinet doors that are available to you (unless you plan to make your own)! | #Design your cabinets.
