Hi all, this is hubz. Kitchen cabinet dimension problem We were informed by Mr J that a standard 60cm cabinet depth will extend beyond our kitchen entrance wall (pink arrow). Mr J suggested to shorten the cabinet depth to 45cm (green arrow) to keep it within the wall length. However, Mrs choco and I felt that too much tabletop space was compromised over the entire length of the kitchen, and that a 45cm cabinet may look too shallow. Depth of the cabinet near the entrance will be 75cm (blue arrow) to account for the extra dent-in space. Kitchen cabinet depth with respect to kitchen entrance wall. After discussion with Mr J, we came up with the solution to extend the wall by around 2 inches (green block) using plaster. The result is a slightly narrower kitchen entrance/door. Mrs choco and I felt that this is a worthwhile compromise over the loss of tabletop space, since the kitchen entrance (37inches) is slightly wider than usual door entrances (33-35inches). Proposed solution: 2 inch plaster extension of the wall Mr J was willingly to absorb the cost for wall plastering, but informed that extra charges will be incurred for a 75cm cabinet depth (i.e. 2 feet for the cost of 4), since extra materials are needed which were not covered in the original quote.
