Depth of kitchen cabinets: what should be and how to choose the right one?

The kitchen is one of the main rooms in the apartment. When arranging it, it is very important to consider absolutely all the details and components of the room. When choosing furniture, it is important that it comfortably, competently and practically takes the appropriate place, and at the same time does not take away excess space.

A cupboard is an integral part of every kitchen. It stores all inventory, kitchen utensils and products.

The modern furniture market has a wide selection of kitchen cabinets from various manufacturers. Before proceeding with the sizes, consider the varieties of such furniture. As a rule, these are three main types.

• Floor. Such furniture is used to store kitchen furniture, utensils and various household appliances. The lower cabinets are suitable for installing large equipment in them: a refrigerator, a dishwasher and a washing machine.

• Hinged. There are also hanging cupboards in every kitchen. They are placed on the wall, about 40-50 cm higher than the floor.

• A worktop with a width of 120 cm is very rare in an ordinary kitchen. In most cases, they are installed in professional places: restaurants, cafes.

The depth of wall furniture directly depends on the parameters of the upper modules. Most often on sale you can find hanging cabinets, the height of which is from 79 to 90 cm. For such a height, the most optimal and practical depth is 28, 28.5 and 30 centimeters.

The depth of the corner cabinet depends on the height of the lower and upper rows, and it can be 180-250 cm. In this case, the depth of the lower corner cabinet is 30-40 cm, and the depth of the upper corner cabinet is 45-50.
