Layout

Turning the corner, and how high to go

A kitchen is decided at its corners and at its ceiling. Three answers for one, two for the other.

  • Lazy susan

    A corner base with a carousel inside it, so the corner holds pans instead of losing them.

    • 36" × 36" wall area
    • 26 1/2" and 16 1/2" faces
    • 24" adjacent base
  • Block out

    The corner is voided and the runs meet a filler. The cheapest answer, and the one that gives the corner up.

    • 24" base either side
    • One 3" filler required
  • Blind base

    A blind corner base takes the run past the corner and reaches back into it on a long pull.

    • 36"W blind base
    • 42"–45" pull distance
    • 3" filler required
  • Eight-foot ceiling, standard

    A 30" wall cabinet under a 96" ceiling, with or without a soffit above it.

    • 96" ceiling
    • 30"H wall
  • Taller walls and pantries

    Take the wall run up and the tall cabinets follow it, so the pantry and the uppers finish on one line.

    • 84" tall with 30"H wall
    • 90" tall with 36"H wall
    • 96" tall with 42"H wall
