Allow us, the seasoned experts at NX Bro, with over a thousand kitchen designs under our belt, to share our insights into the realm of standard kitchen dimensions that will elevate your cooking experience.
Standard Kitchen Dimensions #1: Countertop & Sink
Ah, the heart of the kitchen – where culinary magic happens. The countertop and sink are the pioneers of standardization in modular kitchens. Yet, they dance to the tune of personal heights. The gap between your elbow and countertop should be roughly 15cm. The sink, a faithful companion, matches the counter height. And for that perfect sink depth, 56 cm is the magic number.
Standard Measurements:
- Height: 72 cm
- Width: 60 – 90 – 100 – 120 cm
- Depth: 56 cm
Standard Kitchen Dimensions #2: Overhead Cabinets
Let’s not make our clients play a game of culinary limbo. Overhead cabinets, tailored to your height, prevent you from turning into a contortionist while reaching for your spices. At NX Bro, our wall modules are crafted with a depth of 32 cm, ensuring that cabinet doors don’t stage a surprise attack during your culinary endeavors.
Loft space conceals seldom-used treasures, while wall cabinets house your everyday allies – ingredients and utensils. The lowest tier is the realm of cooking spoons and spatulas, alongside salt and sugar, making it a gastronomic haven.
Standard Measurements:
- Height: 30 – 36 – 60 – 72 – 90 cm
- Width: 40 – 45 – 50 – 60 – 80 – 90 cm

Standard Kitchen Dimensions #3: Base Cabinets
Base cabinets – the silent heroes of your kitchen. Storage units for pots and pans that ensure accessibility is a breeze. At NX Bro, our base cabinets cater to everyone, from kids to seniors, ranging from 36cm to 85cm in height, all while harmonizing with the countertop.
Standard Measurements:
- Height: 36 – 85 cm
- Width: 15 – 20 – 25 – 30 – 40 – 45 – 50 – 60 – 90 – 100 – 120 cm

Running to the grocery store mid-cooking? Say goodbye to those days. Tall units are the grocery sanctuary, customizable for every chef, thanks to minor height adjustments. They seamlessly blend into the orchestration of your culinary dimensions.

Standard Kitchen Dimensions #5: Kitchen Island
Ah, the kitchen island – the hub of culinary creativity. Designed to the same height as your countertop, it beckons you to create masterpieces while standing tall. These islands often invite guests to join in the culinary festivities, seated at high chairs or bar stools.
Standard Measurements:
- Height: 72 cm
- Width: 60 – 90 – 100 – 120 cm
- Depth: 56 cm
Standard Kitchen Dimensions #6: Breakfast Counter
The breakfast counter, higher by 15 to 30 cm, conceals kitchen chaos and doubles as a room partition. A practical addition to modern kitchens, it comfortably accommodates your seated self while you indulge in a quick meal.
Standard Kitchen Dimensions #7: Backsplash
Not just a pretty face, the backsplash serves a practical purpose – protecting your walls from the wrath of grease, oil, and water. Ideal backsplashes, 60 cm in height, ensure that they are easily cleanable.
Standard Kitchen Dimensions #8: Aisle Width
In the dance of kitchen layouts, aisle width is the choreography that keeps everything flowing. In parallel kitchens, it’s vital. A minimum of 1,020 mm is the benchmark, ensuring you glide through your culinary artistry with grace.
Standard Kitchen Dimensions #9: Stove to Chimney Distance
Say no to smoky kitchens! The ideal distance between stove and chimney, between 660 mm and 750 mm, ensures a smoke-free, hassle-free culinary voyage.
Standard Kitchen Dimensions #10: Refrigerator
Refrigerators come in all shapes and sizes. There should be room for at least 2 inches of space above and around your refrigerator to ensure proper ventilation and accessibility.
Standard Kitchen Dimensions #11: Golden Triangle
For a kitchen that’s a culinary ballet, follow the golden triangle rule – sink, stove, and refrigerator forming a harmonious triangle. This rule applies to all kitchen layouts, creating a seamless, efficient cooking experience.
