Sure, it’s fun to tinker around with different ideas for cabinet colors, styles, or materials. However, when it comes down to it, if you don’t get the cabinet dimensions right, they’re going to look funky and likely be non-functional.
This guide provides a list of standard cabinet dimensions. Unless you have ultra-customized cabinetry in mind, this will list the basic dimensions you’re most often going to be choosing from.
These are the cabinets attached above counters and not touching the ground. They are generally used for storing lightweight kitchenware or food and attach directly to your kitchen walls via studs.

Wall cabinets set the tone for your kitchen as they are eye level and used most often. These tend to be the more fun cabinets as you can add lighting, glass, and other features to add more personality to your kitchen.
Now down to the dimensions:
Height Width Depth 12, 15, 18, 24, 30, 36, and 42 INCHES 12-26 INCHES 12-24 INCHES
These are what you find for pantries or broom closets. They are less common but very helpful when they are installed correctly. You can choose these in a size long enough to extend from your floor to the ceiling.
Here are tall cabinet basic dimensions:
Height Width Depth 84, 90, AND 96 INCHES 18, 24 AND 30 INCHES 24 INCHES
Don’t forget the base cabinets! These sturdy, essential pieces go right on the floor and do the “heavy lifting” when it comes to storage.

Base cabinets are usually where you store larger kitchen items like that KitchenAid mixer, large pots, and pans, and items you’re less likely to pull out every day.
Base cabinets have sinks installed within them. Countertops cover them and they surround stoves and dishwashers. Basically, they are the most expensive counters to install because they are the most versatile and must be the most sturdy.
Simply put, you could design a kitchen without wall or tall cabinets, but you can’t do without the base cabinet. But, enough about how vital they are. Let’s get down to dimensions:
Height Width Depth MINUS COUNTERTOPS-34.5 INCHES 9-46 INCHES(IN 3 INCH INCREMENTS) MINUS COUNTERTOPS-24 INCHES INCLUDING COUNTERTOPS-35-36 INCHES 9-46 INCHES(IN 3 INCH INCREMENTS) INCLUDING COUNTERTOPS-25-26 INCHES
