The kitchen is the most attractive place in the apartment, where the family gathers in the evening for dinner, where you can escape from pressing problems. And I really want comfort. And to create it, you need to carry out repairs and arrange furniture. And here some points that directly affect the convenience of the kitchen and its functionality are important.
Beautiful cozy kitchen with furniture in a modern style
An ideal spacious kitchen with spacious floor cabinets and no wall units
Each kitchen has a suite, including wall cabinets. It's comfortable. But you need to choose the right height for the cabinets, where you mainly keep dishes and cans of cereals. As you can see, the load is heavy. It is necessary to ensure reliable fastening. Let's figure out at what height to hang kitchen cabinets.
Minimum and maximum height of wall cabinets relative to the working surface
Rules and standards
The generally accepted distance between the upper and lower kitchen cabinets is 50-60 centimeters. However, standards are not always applicable in life. When attaching wall cabinets in the kitchen, be sure to consider:
- tenant growth;
- ceiling height in the apartment;
- size of lockers;
- probable distance from the working surface to the upper exhaust line;
- purpose of cabinets.
The height of the residents in the apartment is the main factor determining where furniture is attached to the wall. The cabinet layout that is convenient for a tall person is not suitable for short people. The ideal option is to place a wall-mounted row of kitchen cabinets at eye level so that it can easily reach the shelves. When making calculations, keep in mind that the top of the cabinets should not be more than 25 cm higher than a person’s height.
Distance between kitchen table and wall cabinet
The standards for this size are 45-65 cm. The optimal indicator, according to designers, is 50-56 cm. But for each housewife this figure will be different. And here it is not only its height or the location of the lower module that is important.
The functionality of the kitchen is another factor that determines the height of hanging furniture and apron. You need to decide what is more important for the housewife - an open workspace or shelves for dishes. If frequently used equipment is placed on the work surface, and a cutting board and knife stand should also be placed on the cabinet, then of course the capacity of the apron will prevail.
Often cabinets with one spacious shelf are placed slightly above eye level, since the contents in them are not so important. In addition, this type of module greatly expands the space and would be appropriate in a small and low room.
At what height should you hang kitchen cabinets?
The question in the article, at what height to hang kitchen cabinets, can be simply answered so that it is convenient to place and remove from them what is stored in them. This is true, but it is the same thing that means from a scientific point of view, which is convenient. I will formulate two rules that seem reasonable to me.
Rule 1
The hinge height of kitchen cabinets should be such that the smallest (adult) person at home can reach the top shelf of any work cabinet (shelf) without effort or support.
Please note that GOST 13025.1-85 “Home furniture. Functional dimensions of storage compartments”, this size is limited to 1900 mm.
Despite the fact that this GOST applies to furniture manufacturers, the height of 1900 mm seems quite reasonable to me, both from the point of view of ergonomics and from the point of view of common sense. Proper assembly and hinges of kitchen cabinets mean ease of use, and it would be strange to hang cabinets so that they can be reached by a stool on the top shelves.
The question arises, why was the height chosen for the top shelf and not the top of the wall cabinets? Firstly, the tops of cabinets are not places to store things, and secondly, the kitchen may have decorative cabinets (hoods), the height of which has nothing to do with ergonomics.
Rule 2
The height of the hinge of kitchen cabinets should be such that the “housewife,” standing next to the cabinets, can see what is on the top shelf without raising her head.
This is a controversial rule, but alternatively it is related to usability. In ergonomics, it is important that a person makes as few unnecessary movements as possible and takes fewer unnatural postures.
For example, a kitchen base cabinet that is too low for tall people will cause back strain, while a cabinet that is too tall for short people will cause problems when cutting food.
Upper kitchen cabinets to the ceiling: cons
1. Higher price. It's simple: the larger the cabinets, the greater the volume of materials used and, accordingly, the higher the final cost.
2. Difficult access. The very top shelves and drawers can be difficult to reach. Therefore, they are often empty. However, it cannot be said that the upper tiers of furniture take up space in vain, because they perform one of their main functions - decorative.
3. Insufficient level of convenience and ergonomics. To get something from the highest level, you need to stand on a chair, stool, or stepladder. Having to constantly get on and off the “lifts” is not much fun. In addition, it may not be safe.
4. Visual overload. Even in a large kitchen, if there are a lot of upper cabinets, a “refurbishment” effect can occur. It will seem that the cabinets have literally taken over the space. This, of course, will not add comfort to the interior.
For a compact kitchen, such “re-cabineting” is more dangerous - the room will become even more cramped, oppressive, and similar to a pencil case. This is especially noticeable if the cabinets are equipped with dark fronts.
Here's a paradox: a small kitchen needs additional storage space, but at the same time you want to maintain at least some semblance of space in it. We have to maneuver and look for compromises.
Installation nuances
- Before starting installation, stock up on the necessary tools. For brick walls, a simple drill will do, but if the walls are concrete, then you will need a hammer drill.
- Do not choose fasteners that are too large to attach.
- When drilling a hole in the wall, take into account the thickness of the plaster layer. We must not forget that the dowel should be in the brick, and not in the plaster. The size of the hole in the brick must be at least 5 cm so that it can be screwed in freely.
- Try not to hang cabinets on drywall, as such structures are unreliable.
- It is not recommended to overload mounted models.
All sizes, both walls and floors, should be considered individually. Repairing kitchen units is not a difficult task, and adjusting the hinges is not difficult; if you cannot entrust the work to professionals, do not be afraid and do the installation yourself. The main thing is to read the article carefully and there will be no problems.
Methods for attaching wall cabinets
An important part of furniture placement is its fastening. Please note that glassware storage is very heavy. There is no need to skimp on fastening materials.
Step-by-step installation instructions:
- Calculate the height of the cabinet and draw a line at this level along the entire wall where the modules will hang.
- Make one mark for the first hole for fasteners.
- Drill and install fasteners. It is important to do this reliably.
- Hang the cabinet on the first hanger and adjust the height of the second hole.
- Drill and install the second fastener.
It is important to make the holes one at a time, this reduces the likelihood of the cabinets being placed sideways.
To place furniture on a hanging rail, it is important to prepare the wall; it must be level. Then you need to calculate the level of the mounted modules. The rail is attached relative to this height. Special hinges and hooks should be attached to wall cabinets. Next, all that remains is to hang the prepared modules on the rail. Since it is placed between the wall and the furniture, the module will not be pressed tightly against the wall. In this case, you can place the same rail below, or add furniture to the finishing of the apron.
Mounting rail
Special canopies are placed on a hanging rail and allow you to move the modules horizontally and adjust their height. This installation is not cheap, but it is very convenient when installing wall cabinets.
To hide the distance between cabinets in the kitchen, you should connect the side walls of the modules with bolts.
The height of kitchen cabinets should cover several functions - the convenience and practicality of the kitchen, the ergonomics of the furniture, and maintaining the style of the room. It is better to calculate the height of the cabinet after planning the furniture placement.
Standard sizes of kitchen units
As already noted, kitchen furniture can be placed on the upper and lower levels. Their typical size was determined taking into account the average physiological characteristics of a person, mainly his height.
Kitchen unit dimensions
GOST regulates standards for certain sizes of interior items installed in the kitchen.
Table. A set of standards for kitchen furniture.
Parameter size, mm
| Module height (including table top) | 850… 900 |
| Working surface depth | 600 |
| Depth of the lower cabinet (internal), not lower | 460 |
| Wall module depth (internal), not less | 270 |
| Height from floor to top shelf of wall cabinet, no more | 1900 g |
Kitchen cabinet sizes
In practice, the parameters of the furniture offered to the consumer often differ slightly from the specified values.
Dimensions of lower modules
Furniture modules
When buying standard furniture, you need to pay attention to the following features:
- optimal overall height of the bases: 85... 95 cm. This also takes into account the thickness of the tabletop, which varies from 2 to 5 cm (depending on the model and material from which the tabletop is made);
- the depth of the desktop surface is usually 60 cm;
- the tabletop can protrude 5 cm from the facade, and the tabletop can protrude from the back wall by the same distance;
- cabinets can have a plinth at the bottom of 8... 10 cm;
- standard module depth: 50 or 55 cm;
- The width of the lower furniture is usually chosen from the range: 30, 40, 45, 50, 60, 80 and 90 cm.
Important! Recently, multi-level work surfaces have become popular among designers. This is due to the fact that it is more convenient for housewives to perform various operations when preparing food at different levels. For example, it is convenient to handle food at a height of 90 cm, wash dishes at a height of 100 cm and cook on a stove with a hob installed at a distance of 80 cm from the floor.
Dimensions of suspended structures
The standard sizes of the upper modules are also designed for the average housewife.
- Height: 60, 70, 80.90 cm (some manufacturers may also offer a cabinet with a height of 120 cm).
- The depth of the structures is usually 30 cm.
- Width standards correspond to the parameters of the lower cabinets.
Upper kitchen modules
The distance between furniture shelves can be 20 or 30 cm, although current rules specify a maximum element height of more than 190 cm, but even this parameter can be exceeded. In addition, wanting to make maximum functional use of the entire space of a small kitchen and install structures almost up to the ceiling, many deliberately resign themselves to possible difficulties.
Despite the accepted standards for wall cabinets, taking into account the ease of their operation, if the owner of the apartment wishes, it is possible to install higher structures. Frequent use of upper shelves in them is not very convenient, especially for those who cannot boast of significant height.
Case size and ease of use
However, in kitchens with high ceilings, furniture often fills up all possible space to accommodate food and items that do not need to be used as often. To get what they need, many people use small ladders or stools.
Today, interesting solutions are offered for organizing access to areas of hanging cabinets. For example, the installed electric drive allows you to lower the top shelf to the required distance after pressing a button (in some models you can simply pull the handle).
Lifting system for kitchen furniture
A removable ladder (after pressing the button with your foot) from the lower cabinet also helps, if necessary, to manage all the compartments of the wall cabinet. In this case, there is a big design flaw - the device hidden in the module takes up space that could be used for storing kitchen utensils or installing equipment. Models have also been developed that can be folded into boxes.
Retractable ladder
The design of a kitchen set may involve various ways of installing wall-mounted structures:
- at the same height;
- at different distances from the ceiling and tabletop.
Of course, if there is such an opportunity, it is more convenient to order furniture with individual parameters. In this case, you can easily take into account the wishes of the hostess and use the available space as functionally as possible.
Optimal sizes of kitchen cabinets
Standard sizes of kitchen furniture
All types of sizes, both wall cabinets and floor cabinets, must be considered individually, as there are some differences. This mainly relates to depth. Basically, cabinets are made to standard sizes. If you are of average height, the acceptable height of floor furniture should be 85 cm. This value includes: foot - 10 cm, base - 72 cm, table top height - 3 cm. For tall women, the optimal height is 90 cm. Depth of wall cabinets - 35 -45 cm, lower ones – 70-90 cm.
The height of the front part of the wall cabinets is 70-90 cm. The length of the wall elements is identical to the length of the bottom ones. The distance from the bottom of the wall cabinets to the countertop should be 45 cm, this will create comfortable conditions when cooking. The height between the stove and the hood is 75 cm. The drawers in the kitchen have the following heights: small - 14 cm, medium - 28, large - 35 cm.
Typical project for placing furniture in the kitchen
Standard dimensions for corner cabinets: their side walls are placed parallel to the kitchen walls and are 60 cm, the side walls adjacent to adjacent drawers are 31.5 cm. The width of the front door is 38 cm. The rear part is 16.5 cm.
Storage spaces in kitchen cabinets, access to which should be free and convenient
Custom-made kitchen sets are mainly made to standard sizes. If everything is put together correctly, then a small kitchen will visually increase in size and look great. If you neglect the rules when measuring, the room will lose its attractiveness due to the clutter of objects. By following standard sizes, you will get a stylish and comfortable kitchen.
At what height from the work surface to hang cabinets depends on the height of the kitchen users and their wishes
Important nuances to consider when choosing height
Important aspects of determining height are:
- adult height;
- dimensions of the upper modules;
- dimensions of the lower bedside tables;
- hob position.
You need to start first with the dimensions of the furniture elements, so you should purchase them after preliminary calculations on the possible location and convenience for family members. You can check the ergonomics of the wall right at the point of sale and choose the configuration of the shelves. Ideally, the tallest one should be accessible to all adults and at least the tallest members of the family. It is important to determine the ideal height of the apron for the kitchen. If nothing interferes with the ease of working with the sink, cutting surface and hob, you can leave only 45 cm on this element. This option is also acceptable for tall people. Also, do not forget about the spaciousness of both rows of the headset, and even more so “sacrifice” it for the sake of the presence of upper shelves.
Cabinet sizes
Typical parameters of wall cabinets for a kitchen wall are within the following limits:
See also: Selected ideas for decorating tree branches with your own hands
- height - 35-70 cm;
- width - 15-80 cm;
- depth - 25-45 cm.
The height of the suspended level depends on the size of the sections. And this applies not only to the upper part, but also to the lower elements of the headset. The standard height of the lower level is 80-95 cm and consists of the height of the base, frame and thickness of the tabletop. The depth of base cabinets is usually 55-60 cm, but can be 10 cm less or more. The tabletop protrudes beyond the edge of the curbs by 3-5 cm. The lower border of the hanging structure is selected taking into account the above characteristics. As for the upper cabinets themselves, regardless of their height, it is customary to line them up along the top edge. It is undesirable for the bottom shelf of short drawers to be higher than 80-90 cm above the tabletop. A chest of drawers with a height of 70 cm is hung so that the bottom edge is no more than 65 cm from the tabletop, and 55 cm is a convenient option for most people. The second and third shelves should be at the optimal and maximum placement heights, respectively.
Dependence on hood and stove
It is not recommended to install cabinets above the stove itself, but you can do this above the hood. This solution has already become a classic in the interior. When installing, take into account the minimum permissible height of the hob - 60 cm. It is most likely impossible to hang the cabinet flush with the adjacent sections. However, this is not all the difficulties: when heated, some materials release dangerous compounds. Treated wood (such as chipboard) can release formaldehyde and phenols when heated. The positioning height also depends on the insert type. It is advisable to leave a margin of 65-70 cm above electric and at least 75-80 cm above gas. At this level it is recommended to place only the hood and lockers slightly higher. To place furniture modules above the hood, special configuration options are provided.
Cabinets above the working surface of the hood practically do not increase the usable space - they usually have little space.
Taking into account a person's height
The height of adult hosts must be taken into account. We accurately measure the average. In addition, if only one person cooks regularly in the kitchen, then average height does not need to be taken into account. However, the lower the shelves, the easier they are to use, regardless of the purpose for which they are used. So, if the average adult height is less than 178 cm, we place the bottom edge of the cabinets at a height of 155 cm from the floor. With an indicator within the range of 178-185 cm, the sections are hung at a level of 160 cm. With a higher average height, the bottom of the modules should be in the corridor of 160-175 cm, in proportion to the result obtained. It is desirable that the upper shelves are located no more than 20-25 cm above the head of the lowest adult. Shelves higher than 210 cm from the floor do not work. The minimum placement at the bottom of hanging level furniture is 135 cm, but some recommend setting them at least 145-150 cm for people of average height.
Why according to your height

Attic wardrobe: design options, which one to choose
There is another opinion. They believe that it is best to select the height of the upper cabinets depending on the height of the user. And in many ways they are right.
When only one person uses the kitchen, it is logical to adapt everything to him, rather than forcing a shorter user to stand on chairs or stepladders to reach the contents of the upper drawers.
Tall people do not have this problem. It is rather more difficult for them to bend over to the lower tiers, and therefore many try to raise them somewhat above the floor level.
By ordering a height that does not correspond to the same standard 90 cm, you can clearly adapt the kitchen to your data, needs and growth characteristics. But changing 900 mm to 920 mm, and because of this making an individual project, is not the most reasonable decision.
It is logical to buy cabinets of non-standard height only if your needs differ markedly from the proposed standards, by at least 10 cm. Then it really makes sense to turn to manufacturers who are ready to make furniture strictly according to your height and other requirements.
The main disadvantages of this solution are that not all companies can offer custom cabinets. Or it will cost more than those models for which production is adapted.
Individual projects always require additional financial costs.
And here it is important to understand that there are standards for the height, width and depth of the cabinets themselves, as well as the height of their placement. These are different concepts. The cabinet may be standard in its dimensions, but you can place it at the level that is convenient for you.
Height of base cabinets
The main kitchen cabinet is located on the floor and contains the stove, oven, dishwasher, as well as several pots, plates, bulk items and more. The dimensions of the base cabinets directly depend on the built-in appliances and affect the ease of use of the kitchen set.
For people of average height by human height standards, the most comfortable cabinets will be 85 cm high, which consist of:
- legs - 10 cm;
- the cabinet itself is 72 cm;
- tabletop thickness - from 28 to 40 mm.
How to choose the right size
The correct parameters of kitchen furniture must be set at the design stage, since this is extremely necessary for optimizing the working and free space of small kitchens. The following data is used for calculations:
- The area allocated for the apron, as well as the ceiling height and the total area of the kitchen.
- Number, type and sizes of household appliances and kitchen utensils used.
- Future kitchen interior style.
- Growth of homeowners.
- Location of water pipes and electrical wiring.
- Basic kitchen cabinet configurations.
If the work area is too large or small, this will bring a number of inconveniences that will be associated with the placement of objects and accessories in this room. If the area is large, the interior will turn out empty and uninteresting.
Summarize
At first glance, installing a kitchen cabinet is not difficult. In fact, this is not so: the procedure will require taking into account several important parameters: the height of the kitchen owner, the location of the stove and hood, the size of the furniture itself. If installed incorrectly, the hanging elements of the kit will be inconvenient to use. If you are not sure that you can choose their location correctly, it is better to refer to the values established by GOST. It is designed in such a way that the furniture is comfortable for people of any height.
Dependence on hood and stove
The decisive point when hanging the hood is the distance from the stove. The instructions usually have a diagram with dimensions. If you do not have documents for the equipment, follow these rules:
- The minimum distance between the stove and the hob is 65-70 cm; at this distance there is no risk of flame contact with the device.
- Position the hood at the bottom so that cooking is not awkward even in the largest pots.
- Install the top of the hood at such a level that air is drawn in from all layers of the room.
The height of the position directly depends on the type of plate. If it is electric, it is permissible to hang the hood at a distance of 65 cm. For a gas stove, this figure increases to 70-75 cm. Usually the device is suspended at a height of 70 to 90 cm, held in it taking into account the height of the cook.
Creating a favorable atmosphere in the kitchen
For most Russians, the kitchen is a favorite place in the house. Therefore, it should be as comfortable as possible. The atmosphere here affects not only the state, but also the actions of the people who are here. For example, if you are not satisfied with the arrangement of furniture in the kitchen, you can often get burned by a gas stove, as well as get hit by the corners of cabinets and their open doors.
Therefore, it is important to choose the right distance between the countertop and the furniture in the kitchen, and here are two points:
- The height of the working surface is selected so that the housewife can use it comfortably during the cooking process. At this point, your hands on the tabletop should form an angle of approximately 15-20 degrees. If this parameter is not observed, the hands quickly get tired, excessive force is caused by incorrect posture. Therefore, with a height of 165-185 cm, you can safely order lower bedside tables with a height of 820-900 millimeters.
- But the upper cabinets and their lower part should be slightly below eye level. With this arrangement it is more convenient to find the things you need inside. When we hang cabinets a little lower, we are likely to bump into their surfaces frequently.
Upper kitchen cabinets to the ceiling: pros
1 . Fashionable. Yes, this is a trend now. In new design projects, kitchens that do not reach the ceiling are becoming increasingly rare (when it comes to rooms with a standard height).
2. Clean. Dust does not accumulate on cabinets that reach the ceiling. They do not need to be wiped from above by jumping on chairs, tables or stepladders.
3. Order. There is no temptation to clutter the top of your cabinets.
4. Slim and graceful appearance. It is believed that elegant kitchens with a classic design should go right up to the ceiling. In this case, a small gap between the cabinets and the ceiling is usually formed by a cornice that encircles the perimeter of the room.
5. Additional storage space. The higher the cabinets, the more useful shelves and drawers there are. This is especially true for small kitchens. But even in large ones, additional storage space is rarely superfluous.
Optimizing the distance for household appliances
A kitchen set is a complex integrated system of several modules. Most often, special auxiliary products are built in in the form of a washing machine, gas stove, etc. In some cases, this requires some adjustment to the distance between adjacent attributes.
This also affects the height of the opening from the countertop to the wall cabinet. There are several rules governing these distances for each specific element of this system:
- The electric stove must be at least 65 cm lower than the bottom of the first shelter located directly below it. These recommendations help reduce the influence of temperature on the structure of the material from which the set is made.
- The top cabinet of a gas stove should be placed at a distance of at least 70 cm, since such designs use open fire. These factors can cause not only wear and tear on the laminate surface, but also a direct fire.
Remember that if other modules are placed near these devices, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature influence on the structure of the materials related to them is minimal. Often the ends of the cabinets that will stand next to the stove are made of heat-resistant substances (metal, etc.).
Working triangle rule
Variants of the “correct” triangle
Perhaps a person has already heard about this concept, but does not even imagine what it means. This needs to be looked into in more detail.
All kitchen utensils, including furniture, are arranged not in a chaotic manner, but in strict accordance with the laws of ergonomics, convenience, and operational safety. Even the Feng Shui style has something similar to the Russian or European design point of view, but it is more based on natural elements and their interaction.
The configurations and sizes of cabinets are practically the same in different countries, but if a person chooses and arranges furniture wisely, then even a small kitchen will seem spacious, bright and roomy, which is an absolute advantage of this type of design. If you do not listen to advice, the kitchen will become a narrow and cramped furnished room, where even two people will be extremely uncomfortable.
In addition, it is necessary to keep in mind that it can also be very difficult for kitchen owners.
German scientists once conducted an experiment, as a result of which it turned out that in a whole day, while cooking food, washing dishes, putting them in places and other worries, a woman can walk up to 5 kilometers. If the room is not organized correctly, this distance will only increase.
Some rules for arranging furniture
The point here is not that the woman is doing something unnecessary, but that the kitchen was initially planned incorrectly. As a result, many attributes are not within walking distance or arm's length. You have to reach for them, climb or even walk.
Conversely, if you plan correctly, you can reduce the time spent on cooking and cleaning by 30% and reduce the distance traveled by 60%. This is the secret of the triangle.
Its vertices have the following parameters:
- Top 1. Work area (stove, oven, table, microwave).
- Top 2. Storage area for supplies and food (refrigerator or freezer).
- Top 3. Area cleared of food and household appliances (dishwasher, sink).
It is worth remembering that the distance between the zones (vertices) should not be greater than the distance of two lengths of a fully extended arm. Everything should be located so that the housewife walks a minimum distance. If you take food or vegetables from the refrigerator, you can immediately rinse them in the sink without taking a single step. Having stepped half a meter to the side, you can immediately begin cutting them on the table.
Sometimes it seems that it is optimal to place the sink near the hob and install a refrigerator on the other side, but as practice shows, this does not work for a person and does not save his time.
A white refrigerator will heat up near the stove, and there is no need to talk about greasy stains: they will appear instantly.
Distance between lower and upper cabinets in the kitchen
The deceptive impunity of arbitrary hanging of lockers has more than once led to domestic injuries. Many people try to free up space in the kitchen between the ceiling and the cabinet to place unnecessary items. And people don’t always think about what distance should be between the drawers or the bottom and the countertop.
Cabinet layout according to GOST standards
When kitchen sets were produced according to state standards, it was possible to roughly estimate that a large set was not suitable for a 5 m kitchen, and its height did not allow placement under a ceiling of 2.48-2.7 m.
The vast majority of kitchen wall cabinets were produced in small sizes only. Modern realities, the use of foam concrete in new buildings, numerous private houses with different parameters have led to the birth of furniture based on individual projects.
There were offers from Ikea. Here, kitchen items and cabinets can be stacked, like a children's construction set, in any order.
Drawing with standard dimensions of top and bottom drawers
Owners of custom kitchens think less about practicality and more about aesthetics and design. At the same time, they forget or do not know about the need to maintain the distance between kitchen cabinets, the top and bottom of the drawers.

As a result, you can often find people on forums complaining about the inconvenience of a new kitchen. Some are looking for ways to optimize their work, suggesting that some flaws were made in the placement of new furniture.
Even with non-standard parameters of functional premises, an experienced furniture manufacturer takes into account certain dimensions. For example, the height of the lower tier of cabinets and countertops is limited to 90-100 cm.
Optimal location of the hood and stove in the kitchen
The location from the window is also taken into account, which allows you to freely open the sash or window.
The position of the countertop is also important when working with gas stoves.
Upper cabinets hit your head
The reason for the inconvenience is the narrow tabletop. When the tabletop depth is less than the standard 60 cm, the upper wall blocks, protruding 30-40 cm, overcome at least half of it. As a result, the owner rests her face on the top row of the headset or hits her head when tilting. The solution to the problem is to replace the countertop with a deeper one.
The reason may also be the low position of the wall cabinets. In this case, you will have to overcome taller furniture. The presence of an apron will cause some difficulties, since it is laid out along the lower edge of the upper cabinets. By lifting them you will get empty space.
