What Sizes Do Kitchen Cabinets Come In?

If you’ve ever wondered, “What sizes do kitchen cabinets come in?” you’re asking the right question. Over the years, we’ve seen how kitchen cabinet sizes follow industry standards that make planning a breeze. Typically, you’ve got three main types: base cabinets (under the counter), wall cabinets (above), and tall cabinets (like pantries). These standard kitchen cabinet dimensions vary slightly by maker, but they’re designed to fit most homes perfectly. As your friendly Frisco experts, we’ve installed them all—and we’re here to share the essentials with you!

Breaking Down Standard Kitchen Cabinet Dimensions

With decades of kitchens under our belt, we know the right measurements make all the difference. Here’s the rundown on kitchen cabinet dimensions, straight from our experience:

How Tall Are Kitchen Cabinets?

Curious about “How tall are kitchen cabinets?” For upper cabinets, standard kitchen cabinet height usually lands at 30”, 36”, or 42”—great options depending on your ceiling and storage needs. Base cabinets clock in at 34.5” tall, which, with a countertop, hits that ideal 36” working height. From an interior design angle, these heights strike a perfect balance—keeping your kitchen practical and visually appealing. We’ve tailored countless Frisco kitchens to these standards, and they always deliver!

How Deep Are Upper Kitchen Cabinets?

Next up: “How deep are upper kitchen cabinets?” The standard cabinet depth here is 12” to 13”. It’s just right for stashing plates and glasses without crowding your cooking space. We love how this depth keeps things open and airy—a little design trick that makes any kitchen feel welcoming. After years of installs, we can tell you it’s a depth that works like a charm every time.

How Deep Are Lower Kitchen Cabinets?

And for the lowers? “How deep are lower kitchen cabinets?” You’re looking at a standard cabinet depth of 24”. This lines up beautifully with your appliances and countertop overhang, offering plenty of room for pots, pans, and gadgets. It’s a dimension we’ve perfected over decades, ensuring your kitchen flows effortlessly from prep to cleanup.

How to Read Cabinet Drawings

Let’s tackle a pro tip: “How to read cabinet drawings.” It’s easier than you’d think! When you spot something like “W36 x H34.5 x D24,” that’s width, height, and depth—36” wide, 34.5” tall, and 24” deep for a base cabinet. Over the years, we’ve used these drawings to turn ideas into real-life kitchens for Frisco homeowners. Knowing these kitchen cabinet dimensions lets you picture your space—and with our expertise, we’ll make it shine with style and precision.

Standard vs. Custom: What’s Right for You?

Here’s where our experience really kicks in. Sticking to kitchen cabinet standard sizes is a smart, budget-friendly move that fits most homes like a glove. The standard kitchen cabinet dimensions we’ve covered—height, depth, width—are the foundation of countless remodels we’ve nailed. But if your Frisco kitchen has a quirky corner or a bold vision, custom sizes might be your perfect match. Our interior design pros thrive on blending practicality with a custom flair—think taller pantries or deeper drawers made just for you. Whatever you pick, we’ve got the know-how to make it exceptional.
