When you are planning your dream kitchen, one of the first questions that comes to mind is: what are the standard sizes of kitchen units?<\/strong> Knowing them is key to ensuring that everything fits perfectly, both in terms of functionality and aesthetics.<\/p>\n

Standard measurements for kitchen base units<\/h2>\n

Recommended height and depth for base units\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Kitchen base units usually have a standard height of 70 to 80 cm<\/strong>, which is comfortable for most people when cooking. In terms of depth<\/strong>, it is most common for units to be around 57 cm<\/strong>, which provides good storage space for utensils and other products. These measurements offer a balance between functionality and convenience.<\/p>\n

Module widths and common options<\/h3>\n

The width of the units<\/strong> varies depending on the type of furniture, but most commonly ranges from 30 cm to 90 cm.<\/strong> The most common sizes<\/strong> for base units are 60 cm and 80 cm wide,<\/strong> which is perfect for the standard kitchen layout, allowing both storage and space for appliances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Standard dimensions of kitchen wall units<\/h2>\n

Height and depth of wall units<\/h3>\n

Tall units or wall units <\/strong>have a height that normally varies between 70 and 90 cm.<\/strong> This depends on the height of the people in the house, but this standard measurement works well for most people. In terms of depth<\/strong>, the standard measurement for wall units is 30 to 35 cm.<\/strong> This depth allows space to be maximised without the cabinets interfering with the work area.<\/p>\n

Recommended distance between upper and lower cabinets<\/h3>\n

A very important measurement when planning your kitchen is the distance between the upper and lower cabinets. Ideally there should be 50 and 60 cm of space<\/strong> between them, although we recommend 55 cm.<\/strong> This ensures that you can work comfortably at work surfaces without tall units becoming uncomfortable or dangerous.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Measurements of made-to-measure kitchen units and their personalisation<\/h2>\n

how to adapt standard measurements to irregular spaces?<\/h3>\n

If you have a kitchen with a special layout or an irregular space, made-to-measure units are the ideal option<\/strong>. You can adapt the measurements to your specific needs to make the most of every corner, whether in a small kitchen or in a kitchen with high or low ceilings. Customisation allows you to optimise the use of space, without compromising on functionality or style.<\/p>\n

Advantages of made-to-measure furniture in small kitchens<\/h3>\n

For small kitchens, made-to-measure units offer a perfect solution to maximise every centimetre. You can choose the exact height, depth and size of the units, creating a kitchen that is more functional and adapted to your habits.<\/strong> Bespoke units can also help you incorporate additional storage, such as open shelving or hidden compartments, allowing you to keep everything in order without sacrificing space.<\/p>\n
