Almost every housewife dreams of a functional kitchen. Manufacturers offer a huge number of headset models. Any consumer is given the opportunity to choose an option that is not only most convenient, but also corresponds to his taste preferences. Most modern furniture options use wall-mounted modules. To make it comfortable for a housewife to cook in the kitchen, it is important to arrange all the elements correctly. An important nuance is the height of the cabinets.
At what height should you hang kitchen cabinets?
Room area
The placement of furniture and the number of elements included in the set depends on the dimensions of the room. Based on a standard length of 1.8 - 2.6 meters, a width of three meters and a wall height of 3 meters, experts recommend using at least three components of the headset:
- gas stove;
- a cabinet with the surface area necessary for sorting and cutting food;
- washing
Such necessary units as a washing machine and dishwasher are installed in the free space, a refrigerator, a garbage bin and other necessary kitchen appliances are installed.
Legs and plinth
Most modern kitchens are made on legs without a plinth (or with removable elements). This is a more convenient option compared to the outdated one, where the cabinet is placed on the body. Benefits of using legs:
- Easy to adjust headset height.
- Protection of the housing material from moisture.
- The kitchen looks less bulky, and it is possible to further improve the appearance by replacing the standard legs with higher quality parts with an attractive design.
- A set with legs is also suitable for supporters of solid facades, since the legs can be hidden with a plinth.
Scheme for attaching legs to the base of a kitchen cabinet
If the lower part of the kitchen is placed on the body, the adjustment possibilities are significantly limited (it will not be possible to imperceptibly compensate for a difference in floor level of 1.5–2 cm).

Technologist at the furniture company Woodband
The standard legs that come with most kitchens are made of durable polymer and range in size from 100 to 200 mm. Adjustment is carried out with a plastic nut, the stroke of which allows you to compensate for up to 4 cm of unevenness. Adjustable products are now available in chromed metal or plastic.
Drawers in the plinth
It is possible to increase the usable space of the lower bedside tables by placing additional drawers in their lower part. They are easily mounted both in models with legs and in sets without them. The main requirement is that the base height is sufficient for installation.
Formula + calculation table
Manufacturers of kitchen sets, when producing various models of their products, take into account the individual anthropological indicators of possible customers. It is the standardized indicators that influence the significantly lower price of the product compared to a custom-made headset.
The standard height of a kitchen unit is calculated according to the following scheme:
| The growth of a kitchen owner | Table top height | Width (cabinet depth) |
| Less than one and a half meters | Up to 76 cm | 45-47 cm |
| From 1.6 to 1.7 m | 85-90 cm | Up to 50 cm |
| Up to 1.8 | 88-92 cm | Up to 55 cm |
| Above 1.8 | About a meter | Up to 60 cm |
If a family consists of several people, the universal formula includes the height of the tallest member of the family.
Important nuances to consider when choosing height
Important aspects for determining height are:
- adult height;
- dimensions of the upper modules;
- dimensions of the lower bedside tables;
- location of the hob.
The first thing to consider is the dimensions of the furniture elements, which is why you should buy them after making preliminary calculations regarding the possible location and convenience for family members. Right at the point of sale, you can check the ergonomics of the wall and choose the configuration of the shelves. The topmost one should ideally be accessible to all adults and at least to the tallest members of the family. It is important to determine the ideal height of the kitchen apron. If nothing prevents you from conveniently working with the sink, cutting surface and hob, then you can leave only 45 cm for this element. This option is acceptable even for tall people. We should also not forget about the spaciousness of both rows of the headset, and even more so “sacrifice” it for the sake of the accessibility of the upper shelves.
Cabinet sizes
Typical parameters of kitchen wall wall cabinets are within the following limits:
- height - 35-70 cm;
- width - 15-80 cm;
- depth - 25-45 cm.
The height of the hanging tier depends on the size of the sections. And this applies not only to the upper, but also to the lower elements of the headset. The standard height of the lower tier is 80-95 cm and consists of the height of the base, frame and thickness of the tabletop. The depth of the lower cabinets is usually 55-60 cm, but it can be 10 cm less or more. The tabletop protrudes beyond the edge of the cabinets by 3-5 cm. The lower limit of the placement of the hinged structure is selected taking into account the above features. As for the upper cabinets themselves, regardless of height, they are usually aligned in a line along the top edge. It is undesirable for the bottom shelf of short drawers to be higher than 80-90 cm above the tabletop. Cabinets with a height of 70 cm are hung so that the lower edge is no more than 65 cm away from the tabletop, with 55 cm being a convenient option for most people. The second and third shelves should be at the optimal and maximum height, respectively.
Dependence on hood and stove
It is not recommended to install cabinets above the stove itself, but this can be done above the hood. This solution in the interior has already become a classic. When installing, you should take into account the minimum permissible height from the hob - 60 cm. It will most likely not be possible 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 (for example, chipboard) can emit formaldehyde and phenols when exposed to temperature. The placement height also depends on the type of slab. It is recommended to leave a margin of 65-70 cm above the electric one, and at least 75-80 cm above the gas one. It is advisable to place the hood at this level, and cabinets a little higher. To place furniture modules above the thermal 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 owners must be taken into account. We measure exactly the average. Moreover, if only one person regularly cooks in the kitchen, then there is no need to take into account average height. But still, the lower the shelves, the easier they are to operate, regardless of the purpose for which they are used. So, if the average height of adults is below 178 cm, we place the lower edge of the cabinets 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 greater average height, the bottom of the modules should be in the corridor of 160-175 cm, in proportion to the result obtained. It is advisable that the upper shelves are located no higher than 20-25 cm above the head of the shortest adult. Shelves higher than 210 cm from the floor are non-functional. The minimum low placement of a hanging tier of furniture is 135 cm, but some recommend placing them at least 145-150 cm for people of average height.
Standard
Manufacturers of kitchen furniture are guided by two basic principles - versatility and ergonomics of the product, without forgetting, of course, about design.
The calculation of the standard height of a kitchen set takes into account the frequency of the main directions of human movement in the room, the possibility of placing furniture in such a way as to minimize the waste of time and energy on necessary actions.
European parameters are calculated for housewives whose height is one meter 65 centimeters. Manufacturers also provide for the fact that built-in appliances fit seamlessly into standard furniture.
Which parameters to choose: standard or non-standard
Any manufacturer offers a choice: modular kitchens or custom-made kitchens.
Advantages of standard dimensions:
- it is easier to create a project;
- easier to select components;
- the cost is lower;
- options are offered for rooms with low and high ceilings.
To produce a standard set, there is no need to rebuild the equipment. Time and labor costs are standardized.
Advantages of non-standard parameters (custom-made or made independently):
- efficient use of space;
- filling optimization;
- implementation of an individual solution.
It is important to take into account the limitation: the minimum dimensions of the facade are 11x59.6 cm, the maximum are 252x92 cm. The production time is extended by several days. Deviation from the standard dimensions of MDF kitchen facades leads to a 20% increase in cost at the factory. When used for the manufacture of expensive materials, the sets are also more expensive.
Floor tables
When calculating the dimensions of the lower furniture modules, two main parameters are taken into account - depth and height. With the standard height of the kitchen set from the floor, the depth varies from half a meter to 55 centimeters.
You should also take into account the fact that it is in the bottom row that household appliances are mounted. If the height of the floor covering is up to 90 cm, then the thickness of the tabletop ranges from 2.8 to four centimeters, the dimensions of the legs are from 10 to 15, and the height of the cabinet itself exceeds 7 decimeters by a couple of centimeters.
It is better to purchase base cabinets that have legs that allow you to adjust the height. This will help you choose the ideal size for the height of the person, most often other family members, who is involved in cooking and necessary work in the kitchen.
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 modules
The individual parts of the headset must be hung so that they are easily accessible to family members. A holistic look of the design is ensured by approximately the same height dimensions of the upper and lower tiers of cabinets, i.e. from 85 to 90 cm. The width of the upper modules, as a rule, is half as much as the lower ones.
In many ways, the location of hanging cabinets depends on the height of the ceiling of the apartments. The standard height of furniture sets for the kitchen is two meters 10 centimeters.
Note!

The ideal option is to place the upper tier when its height exceeds a person’s height by no more than a quarter of a meter. With higher placement of furniture, you have to use stools to reach the handles of the top row.
In such a case, in a hanging row it is best to store those dishes, objects and appliances that are least often required for work in the kitchen.
Important!
- The border of the handles of the upper cabinets should be located at the level of a freely outstretched arm - this is the most comfortable option.
- Installation of the top row of the headset must be carried out in such a way that access to the ventilation systems is not blocked!
- The standard distance of the kitchen countertop from the lower to the upper cabinets is from 55 to 60 cm, but not less than forty-five! This will make it possible to use it as a work area, and not as a decorative element of the interior.
Rationality and expediency
The height of kitchen cabinets from the floor is designed for the average height of a woman (167 cm), as is the method for determining where a hook for textile accessories or a dish drainer will be hung. Attaching such devices with maximum rationality is an ergonomic installation.
Height of top drawers
In this case, you can avoid unnecessary body movements, spinal deformation and additional fatigue. Correct fastening of the elements to be suspended means that adults can easily reach them from the top shelf and are reasonably out of reach for children.
Modern kitchen furniture involves the possibility of modeling. This happens more conveniently and quickly than the more familiar layout and detailing of traditional kitchen walls.
Dimensions of drawers in the kitchen
After all, since the time when standard parameters for standard kitchens in apartment buildings were developed, appliances that make the housewife’s work easier, a compact-sized washing machine, and furniture that can be adjusted in height have appeared in everyday use. However, the standard parameters of furniture (especially height), dictated by the size of the human body, have not changed.
Atypical option
The standard layout of a kitchen set with a countertop that matches the height of other furniture elements is not always the most comfortable for work. An unusual headset configuration with different heights from the floor can make the room ergonomic and the interior original.
A good solution would be to combine higher countertops with the height of the dishwasher, and a low table will fit perfectly into the composition of the hob.
Distance between kitchen furniture facades
For swing doors, the height is 3 mm less than that of the body, the width is 4 mm. The widths of the boxes are the same. In height, 3 mm is subtracted from the frame parameter. The parameters for the upper cabinets, which open vertically, are the same.
Indentations when installing facades
In tall cabinets for built-in appliances, it is important to take into account the gaps specified by the appliance manufacturer. For the refrigerator it is 4-5 mm, above the oven 5-7 mm. Sometimes sticks are mounted above microwave ovens; its thickness must be taken into account.

Rules for countertops of different levels
There are three basic rules for placing planes at different levels:
- the sink and work area platform should be located approximately 10 cm above the standard location;
- the tabletop level intended for work requiring significant physical effort should be higher than the standard height;
- The cooking area should be located approximately eight centimeters below the standard level.
Sets with different levels of individual zones are difficult to find in furniture showrooms and stores. It is better to make such furniture to order, and the manufacturers will be able to take into account all the nuances of the room and the anthropological dimensions of the kitchen owner.
“Furniture” mathematics – how to do the calculations correctly
Calculations should begin with developing a plan for arranging furniture. It is advisable to first focus on the table of standard sizes of kitchen facades.
The principle is simple: the gap must be subtracted from any façade parameter. A separate calculation must be made for each locker.
High ceilings
Not every standard set will fit into the room reserved for the kitchen. If the furniture is made to order and the floor cabinets correspond to standard sizes, and the height of the tabletop is made taking into account the height of the hostess, you need to carefully consider the placement of the top row. In a room with high walls, the parameters of hanging modules can be unusual, and cabinets can be placed close to the ceiling.
It will be impossible to open such cabinets without a stand, but their internal space will allow you to place a significant number of different things.
We determine the height of the shelves based on the dimensions of equipment and utensils
The upper tier is most often given over to small items, spices, and utensils. There may be cereals or pasta, a sugar bowl, a salt shaker, and household dishes that are used every day. As a rule, there is nothing bulky there, so the height of the shelves can be small.
Shelves and compartments in kitchen cabinets are occupied by heavy dishes - pots, pans, small household appliances, containers with household chemicals. Carefully examine your utensil collection and find out the dimensions of the tallest boxes and largest pans. Otherwise, if you don’t get the size right, you’ll have to look for a place for it outside the headset.
Combined premises
One of the elements of the furniture set can act as an element delimiting the space into a work area and a resting place. For example, this could be the bottom row of cabinets with built-in appliances. The length of the module depends on the size of the kitchen, and the height can exceed the standard 90 cm.
Main condition:
- clear zoning of the premises;
- proper use of free space;
- availability of silent household appliances;
- installation of a powerful hood and a well-functioning ventilation system.
If the above rules are followed, the combined room becomes a functional and comfortable room.
Depth of the working area in the kitchen
Recommended tabletop depth is 600 mm. This size will allow you to easily integrate “essentials” (sink, hob, etc.). The minimum depth of drawers is 460 mm, optimal is 560-580 mm.
If the size of the room allows, the depth of the working surface can be increased to 900 mm. Then the depth of the drawers is at least 760 mm. In professional kitchens, as well as in loft-style rooms, worktops with a depth of 1200 mm look good. Such a large surface is best installed in the center of the kitchen. This is a multifunctional table (also called an island) that increases the comfort of the kitchen and allows you to conveniently move to other workspaces.
To select the ideal depth of the working area, it is necessary to take into account the length of the arms of the person who most often prepares food in the family, as well as the dimensions of built-in appliances and tabletop household appliances.
Kitchen countertop with island
The most comfortable and convenient solution for placing kitchen units. Previously, residents of the former Soviet Union saw this type of arrangement of furniture in the interior only in foreign films and on TV, when they showed the luxurious apartments of the stars of domestic show business.
Today, owners of kitchen spaces larger than 18 square meters can afford such a furniture arrangement. Some craftsmen manage to use the island on an area of 8-9 square meters. meters. True, in such a case, its role is played only by an additional table.
Typical dimensions of facades for kitchen furniture
The average kitchen area of a city apartment is 9 m2. The set consists of modules connected to each other.
Facades are:
- deaf;
- in the form of showcases;
- doors, drawers.
In addition to straight lines, there are radius ones (curved or concave). It is more difficult to select parameters for them.
Advantages of the island
The popularity of relatively new furniture placement is determined by the following points:
- convenience – the work area can be approached from any side;
- the possibility of zoning the kitchen space;
- the appearance of additional functional space;
- excellent ergonomics - all utensils and necessary equipment are within the reach of the working person.
Not the least role in the popularity of the island is played by the ability to choose the required height of the kitchen unit from the floor to the countertop, depending on what types of work are most often performed on it.
Standard dimensions of facades for non-standard kitchen furniture
Creating a headset with non-standard parameters begins with measuring the room and determining the budget.
You need to measure:
- length/width;
- ceiling height;
- all angles (they must be 90 degrees).
Example of a kitchen measurement scheme
Defects are eliminated or taken into account in the calculation.
If you have a small budget, narrow cabinets are more profitable (25% cheaper). You should also not include niches for equipment in the set.
The following determines the installation type:
- in one chain;
- in two chains (along opposite walls);
- letter "G";
- the letter “P” (for a large apartment or house outside the city);
- with a protrusion (letter “T”).
- with a separate island (for rooms with an area of 25 m2).
Corner models
This type of furniture placement comes in several forms:
- L-shaped;
- in the form of a trapezoid;
- similar to the Latin letter V.
The length of the rear walls can reach up to 60 centimeters if the interior design is trapezoidal. The width of the front sections is from 38 to forty centimeters.
The V-shaped placement of furniture provides for the length of the rear walls to be up to 80 centimeters, while the width of the facades of floor cabinets is up to 50 centimeters, and wall cabinets up to thirty.
In L-shaped kitchens, the most traditional placement of furniture is the design of a working triangle.
When placing furniture in corners, the height of the kitchen unit usually coincides with the standard dimensions.
Methods for attaching wall cabinets
There are only 2 ways:
- On the mounting plate.
- On hinges.
To hang cabinets, it is necessary not only to determine the optimal height, but also to make the correct and reliable fastening. The fixing parts must be designed for heavy weight. The correct technology and sequence of actions are also important - to check functionality, assemble and adjust to a finished state. It is correct to start installation from the corner section or from the wall against which the structure should rest. If the method of mounting on a rail (bar) is used, any other direction of installation is impossible in principle. This rule cannot be ignored when installing on hinges. Otherwise, there will be problems with aligning the heights of the sections. The distances between them will be unequal or incorrect. Unnecessary gaps may appear. In addition, you may not “calculate” the distances and end up not finding space for another locker.
On the mounting plate
This is a more modern fastening method. In this case, the load is distributed evenly along the entire length of the facade. This type of installation leaves it possible to adjust the height of the suspended structure. The elements are installed one by one, so even one person can handle the task. Work must be carried out strictly in a certain order. First, the upper and lower boundaries of the location of the cabinets are marked on the wall. Then markings are applied under the bar. Next, holes are drilled and the fittings for the rail are fixed. After this, the rail itself is installed and the elements are hung. They are first mounted without shelves and doors. It is better to mount cabinets closely - special fasteners are used for this. At the end, shelves are installed and façade surfaces are attached. The latter can be adjusted immediately if they are slightly tilted to the side.
Loops
You can hang a cabinet of any configuration on the hinges. This method is convenient, including for installing single structures. If there are a lot of elements, then a level will be needed in the work. If several boxes have been connected, installation will require two people. The algorithm of actions of this method and the method with a mounting strip are partially similar. However, in this case, a hole is drilled for the dowels. You will need to fix the hinges on the back walls of the cabinets (at the top). It is better to use self-tapping screws as fixing elements. You can make the fasteners in advance. The sections are mounted on dowels. It is better to fasten adjacent modules. To reduce the likelihood of chipping to a minimum, you should drill narrow holes for the screws and then widen them. You can also apply a beam on the other side to reduce vibration from drilling. The final stage is the installation of shelves and doors.
Triangle
This is a completely reasonable and very convenient arrangement of three zones in the kitchen. There are two main types of beautiful three. One includes:
- gas stove;
- microwave;
- working surface area.
The second includes:
- washing;
- dishwasher;
- drying area.
Packing and cutting food products, cooking requires systematic movement between these zones. The most effective way is to place the triangles in close proximity, without obstacles to passage.
Various types of cabinets complement free spaces and are designed to accommodate dishes, electrical appliances, food, and hygiene products.
Important! The height of the bottom row should correspond to the height of the person working in the kitchen.
Golden Rule. Correction of the height of the floor row is carried out as follows - for every fifteen centimeters more or less than the standard 165-170 centimeters of human height, the height of the tabletop should increase or decrease by five centimeters!
Taking this rule into account will create a comfortable environment while cooking.
Kitchen cabinet doors, dimensions
Most often, doors are made from:
- laminated, veneered, PVC or acrylic-coated chipboard;
- laminated with PVC, acrylic, veneered, trimmed with plastic panels or photo printed MDF;
- array;
- glass in an aluminum frame.
Since the size of the doors differs little from the size of the body, you should not make too large facades from solid wood. Large glass elements are also not desirable. It is also important to take into account the door span of 40-50 cm. Not all manufacturers produce doors made of solid wood and MDF with glass. This also needs to be clarified with the specific manufacturer.
Photo of the kitchen set
What you need to know about curved facades
A modern solution is considered to be radius facades, curved inward or outward. Separate height parameters have been developed for them (cm):
- 53,6;
- 57,3;
- 71,6;
- 95,6;
- 131,6.
The width corresponds to that of traditional cabinets.
When choosing radial doors, it is also advisable to clarify whether they are manufactured in the selected workshop.
Typically, furniture of non-standard sizes is required for a kitchen with an atypical shape. The space needs to be used rationally; standard furniture does not allow this. You can try to develop sketches yourself. However, it is not easy to ensure that the filling is comfortable and functional, everything fits perfectly to the walls. It makes sense to think through furniture drawings yourself only if you yourself will manufacture the cabinets and facades.
In fact, the headset project is complex; development requires special knowledge. There are nuances that a non-professional cannot take into account. If the design is incorrect, the new furniture will not bring joy. It turns out that money and time were wasted.
If you have a limited budget, it is more profitable to stick to standard parameters. Changes should only be made in special cases. This may be the non-standard height of the housewife, the inconvenient shape of the kitchen, the presence of niches or protrusions on the walls. It is important to take into account all factors, features and rules. The standard sizes of kitchen facades were developed for good reason. In special situations, it is also not worth designing all items according to non-standard sizes. This will reduce the final cost.
How to mount cabinets correctly and on what
You can install the headset yourself; for this it is recommended to order furniture and prepare the necessary tools and components.
If you have the right set of tools, installing kitchen cabinets can be done yourself. In addition, some skills in working with tools and materials are required. Self-installation requires certain skills. Fastening can be done in two ways:
- using slats;
- on hinges or corners.
The easiest and most common way to secure kitchen cabinets is to hang them on hinges or corners. The first is much more reliable, but more complex and expensive. First of all, you need to carefully calculate all the dimensions and number of components. You will need the following tools: drill, screwdriver, level and pencil. Installing slats is a more reliable method, but expensive. In order to answer the question of how to properly hang a kitchen set in height, you need to rely on the height of family members and personal preferences. It is recommended to prepare the drawing initially to prevent unexpected errors.
Built-in technology
For obvious reasons, light kitchen appliances are installed in the top row of furniture. First of all, this is a hood, a dish dryer, and in some cases a microwave or oven is built in.
- The microwave oven can be installed in an open cabinet or on a separate shelf; in addition, there are built-in models designed for installation with a facade. The microwave should not be placed near stoves or on the refrigerator.
- Hoods are installed at least 65 cm from electric stoves and 75 cm from gas stoves. If the hood is placed too low, the overall air circulation in the kitchen deteriorates, and hot air and smoke are poorly removed from the room.
- Dryers are placed either above the sink or not far from it. This item is sold in retractable cargo modules or in ordinary open cabinets with a bottom tray for water drainage.

A separate issue is the space above the refrigerator. If it is built-in, there will be no problems, but it is not always possible to fit an ordinary refrigerated cabinet harmoniously into the interior. It is possible to place all the hanging elements at the level of the device only if its size is more than two meters, and such a solution is not always feasible. Another option is to compensate for the difference with a narrow bedside table located above the camera on the same level as the rest of the wall cabinets.
Placing built-in appliances in the kitchen
What is the optimal distance left between the countertop and the upper cabinets?
This indicator is also considered important. The optimal figure is 45 cm . If the cabinets are located low, then during the cooking or serving process there is a high probability that people will hit their heads on these elements.

If the cabinets are fixed too high, then significant efforts will have to be made to use all the items stored in them. People will have to stand on tiptoes or use a stool for this purpose.
Design of the kitchen and kitchen units in a modern style.
Usually, the height of the tabletop from the floor is initially selected, and this parameter can be used as a starting point in the process of choosing the optimal location for fixing the upper cabinets.
