FAQs
How do I accurately measure my kitchen for new cabinets?
Use our measuring tool above for step-by-step instructions. Otherwise, start by sketching the layout of your kitchen and labeling each wall. Measure the full length of every wall, from corner to corner, then measure from the floor to the ceiling in multiple spots to check for variations. Mark windows, doors, gas lines, plumbing, and electrical outlets.
What tools do I need to measure my kitchen for cabinets?
All you need is:
Tape measure (preferably at least 25 feet)
Pencil
Graph paper or printable template
Level
Smartphone or camera for photos
Bonus: A laser measurer can help with precision.
How do I measure for upper (wall) cabinets?
Measure the distance from the floor to the ceiling, then subtract the height of your base cabinets and countertop (usually around 36″). This tells you how much vertical space you have for wall cabinets. Don’t forget to account for the space between the countertop and bottom of the wall cabinets—typically 18″.
How do I measure for base cabinets?
Measure from the floor up to where the countertop will sit (usually 34.5″ for the cabinet box, plus 1.5″ for the countertop). Measure the wall length along the floor and mark any appliances or obstructions like vents or outlets.
How do I account for appliances when measuring?
Always include the full width, height, and depth of your appliances—fridge, stove, dishwasher, and microwave. Leave extra clearance for doors and ventilation. If you’re buying new appliances, use manufacturer specs for planning.
What are standard cabinet sizes?
Base cabinets: 24″ deep, 34.5″ high
Wall cabinets: 12″–24″ deep, 12″–42″ high
Tall/pantry cabinets: 84″, 90″, or 96″ high
Widths range from 9″ to 48″ in 3″ increments.
At RTA Cabinet Store, our design team will tailor sizes to fit your exact space.
How much space should I leave between cabinets and appliances?
Leave at least:
1″ to 2″ between cabinets and major appliances
36″ clearance for walkways
42″–48″ if you have an island or two-cook layout
Proper spacing ensures smooth workflow and accessibility.
