Kitchen Plan

[jimbob70]

I've raised the floor in my back kitchen to the same floor level as my main kitchen. The height of the room is now exactly 2m.

I'm trying to plan a kitchen to fit in the space.

Are there any rules when it comes to the height difference between worktop and base of wall unit.

When I try and visualise the base units and wall units together, it just looks a bit cramped.

Any thoughts?

It is usually determined by the height of any matching full height units but is usually about 2200mm to the top of the carcase.

You will be better off using a range that has 600mm high wall units and fixing with no cornice or lighting pelmet, this will give you a gap of 500mm which is about the minimum.

If you are going to have a hob in this area make sure you don't have any units within the minimum allowed heights.

Here's a pic of one I fitted to a barn conversion that had a 2020mm ceiling height, mote the small scribed moulding to hide the gap where the ceiling sloped
