Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are a piece of furniture that helps you to conveniently store kitchen utensils. To make it convenient to use the kitchen, you need to choose the best option for kitchen cabinets and their placement. You can choose options for kitchen cabinets with or without facades.
Standard modules for the upper and lower tiers differ in height, depth, and width. They are selected taking into account the location of equipment, pipes, and ventilation. And also – pay attention to the rules of ergonomics and your lifestyle.
Any cabinet is part of a storage system. To be convenient, it should fit everything you need. But it should not be in the way of its size either. Therefore, the lower modules of the set are made as capacious as possible. And the upper ones – located above the work surface – are reduced due to depth.
Types of kitchen cabinets
Cabinets can be considered the most noticeable element of your kitchen. And also the ones that are used the most. For these reasons, you can have pressure in the choice that you make. Because you want the aesthetics of the place to remain in harmony and at the same time everything to be functional.
Even though you have to think about many things, there are a variety of options on the market that can always be reinvented to adapt to your style and budget.
Fiberboard
These are medium-density fiberboard cabinets. They are covered in a plastic-like material and come in woodgrain and solid colors. They are durable, affordable, and moisture-resistant.
Over time, they can change color if you constantly expose them to heat, and if they are damaged, they can be difficult to repair.
Built-in Cabinets
The lifespan of built-in cabinets is long and they give your kitchen a classic look. Other characteristics of this type of cabinet are that the hinges are visible and it is very important that when placing them, the measurements are correct. Otherwise, they will not work properly.
Although built-in cabinets are talked about as a classic option, there is the possibility of customizing them and creating the style you want.
Louvered
This is a cabinet model that has louvers. Between the horizontal slats you find spaces that allow for ventilation. They can be found in different colors and work very well in places in the kitchen that you may need to ventilate, such as a pantry.
Frameless Cabinets
Also known as European cabinets, these are a good choice when you don’t have much space. The drawers are installed directly into the cabinet and the hinges are not visible when you close the doors. Because the doors are not separated by more than ¼ inch, so very little of the frame is visible.
Let’s figure out what the standard sizes of kitchen cabinets are and what you should consider when choosing them.
Bottom row
The dimensions of the floor cabinets affect the height of the countertop and the installation of appliances. For example, an oven, dishwasher, or washing machine. They are designed taking these points into account.
Height
Without taking into account the tabletop, the lower tier is made 82–88 cm high from the floor. This includes the legs and the plinth that covers them — their height is usually 8–10 cm.
Depth
If the depth of the tabletop is 60 cm, then the lower modules are made 50 cm deep – to leave a gap for the tabletop on the front and back sides. The drawers will be 45 cm deep.
If a 90 cm deep worktop is selected, the depth of the modules will be 76–78 cm, and the depth of the drawers will be 70–74 cm.
Width
The standard width for lower modules is 60 cm. However, there are wide cabinets of 80 cm and narrow ones of 30–40 cm.
The internal filling can be different. It can be some household appliances – fully built-in or just closed by a facade, metal structures for plates and mugs, drawers, and shelves. The standard distance between shelves is 20-40 cm.
Top row
Upper modules are rarely used for built-in appliances. Most often, they are used to store kitchen utensils, dishes, cereals, and spices.
The only exception is the hood. It can be mounted under a low cabinet or even replace it. It all depends on the model chosen.
Depth
This parameter is determined by the tabletop: when calculating, its depth is divided by two. That is, for a 60-centimeter tabletop, wall-mounted modules with a depth of 30 cm are suitable. The permissible deviation is 2–4 cm.
Width
In ready-made kitchen units, the width of the suspended modules is usually equal to the width of the floor ones: for example, an upper module of the same width or two 40 cm modules are suspended above a lower cabinet 80 cm wide. If the boundaries of the modules have to be shifted, then a flat, single-color surface is chosen for the facades – this way the unit looks neater and more integral.
Height
Previously, typical upper kitchen units were made 60 cm high. Now they are 70–90 cm. Many people generally try to extend the set to the ceiling so that dust does not accumulate on it and the space is completely occupied.
In all situations, there should be at least 45 cm between the countertop and the bottom of the cabinet. Or better yet, 70–80 cm, so that the module does not interfere with the view of the work surface.
In 2024, loft units are popular – they are often chosen when making a custom kitchen. They have a second row of upper cabinets under the ceiling. Since it is inconvenient to put things in and take things out of them while standing on the floor, the upper tier is used to store things that you rarely use: canning jars, spare parts for kitchen appliances, and supplies of cleaning products.
Bathroom Cabinets & Cupboards
Specifically designed for bathroom storage, holding toiletries, medications, and other personal items. They often feature features like mirrors and integrated lighting.
To organize the storage of bath accessories, we recommend that you order a modern bathroom cabinet. Depending on your tasks, operating features, taste, and preferences, you may need a large model or, conversely, a very small hanging cabinet for the bathroom. Fortunately, customization of modern products allows you to make a decision and choose something most suitable for yourself.
Regardless of what you end up choosing to decorate your bathroom, the most important thing is that you can be sure that only good products with the highest quality are available from Wallpaper Kenya.
Structurally, the model can be wall-mounted – such options are great for small bathrooms. More bulky cabinets that are placed on the floor covering are in demand when creating interiors in the styles of Provence, country, classic, and retro.
Another piece of advice for owners of small bathrooms is to try to choose a model with a mirror. Because it will additionally visually expand the space. And the furniture itself will look less bulky. But products without a mirror usually have an unusual and exquisite decorative design. For example, the doors can be decorated with beautiful ornate patterns, prints, etc. This can significantly decorate the interior and add aesthetics.
In other words, it is worth carefully studying the entire range offered to your attention before deciding on choosing one or another model for your apartment.
