Base Cabinet Dimensions
‌Height‌: The standard height (including the countertop) is 80–85 cm. You can calculate a custom height using the formula: "Height ÷ 2 + 5–10 cm." For example, a person 170 cm tall would suit a 90 cm height, allowing for washing and chopping vegetables without straining the back by bending over.
‌Depth‌: The standard depth is 60 cm, accommodating typical large cookware. Arbitrarily increasing or decreasing this depth can lead to issues such as difficulty retrieving items or unstable placement of pots and pans.
‌Tiered Countertop Design‌: Making the washing area 5–10 cm higher than the cooking area eliminates the need to bend while washing or raise one's arms while cooking, accommodating the different physical movements required for each task.

 

Wall Cabinet Dimensions
‌Depth‌: The standard depth is 30–35 cm; this ensures ample storage space without causing head bumps or obstructing your line of sight.
‌Height‌: Common cabinet body heights are 650 mm and 780 mm. The bottom of the wall cabinet should be 60–75 cm above the countertop; this allows easy access to frequently used seasonings while ensuring the range hood's extraction efficiency remains uncompromised.
‌Adjustments Based on Height‌: For individuals under 165 cm tall, the bottom of the wall cabinet should be approximately 1500 mm from the floor. For those taller than 165 cm, the height can be raised by 5–10 cm to ensure easy access-allowing you to open the cabinet and retrieve items simply by raising your arm.
