Drawings and diagrams of kitchen cabinets (sketches)

If someone doubts whether drawings are needed in order to correctly determine the dimensions of kitchen cabinets, the answer is unambiguous - designing kitchen furniture is a must. Initially, measurements are taken of the room, and then, starting from them, they sketch out sketches of future furniture elements and their arrangement around the perimeter.

Kitchen cabinets won't be easy to make without sketches.

The size of the room, the layout of communications, the location of windows and doors, the presence of non-standard openings - all this will affect the placement of many functional objects.

After all the necessary measurements have been made and there is a general drawing of the future headset, you can start designing its individual parts.

Standard

To make a drawing of a standard kitchen set, you do not need to make a lot of effort - such sets consist of cabinets, the dimensions of which are typical for any model.

standard kitchen set
The standard set consists of typical cabinets.

They can fluctuate, but in most cases this only applies to the length, which depends on the area of ​​the room. The rest of the parameters remain practically unchanged and are as much as possible (height; width; depth in cm):

  1. for upper ones: from 70x30x30 to 90x90x30;
  2. for the lower ones: from 85x30x40 to 90x90x50;

Bottom row

In addition to the standard lower cabinets with shelves, it should be borne in mind that it will be necessary to make a calculation for the sink cabinet. Sizes can be as follows:

  1. width: 800;
  2. side walls: 500x722;
  3. pallet: 500x768;
  4. top bar: 80x768;

  2. top, bottom: 500x568;
  3. lower bar: 100x600.

The hob should not be near the refrigerator.

Also, a distance of at least 500 mm must be kept from the stove to the sink.

distance from stove to sink
There must be a distance of at least half a meter between the sink and the stove.

How to choose the right size

Developing your own design is not as difficult as choosing the size of a headset to accommodate all the necessary structures and leave enough room for free movement. A few rules will help you navigate the layout of the project.

layout of the size of the kitchen
When planning the size of the kitchen unit, you must adhere to certain rules.

First of all, you need to make the correct measurements of the room. For this, measurements are taken on the baseboards, as well as on the level of the countertop and the growth of the owners.

It is recommended to measure the height of ceilings in different places, as it may differ from site to site.

Errors of uneven walls are compensated for with a gap of 50 mm, which provides a margin of free space in case incidents arise during installation.

It is recommended to separate the built-in appliances with pedestals, each at least 50 cm wide.

cabinets divide household appliances
Pedestals must be placed between the built-in appliances.

Additional Information. When designing, the master can be assisted by such programs that will make a sketch and drawing of the future headset: PRO-100, Kitchen Draw, Woody.

How to make a corner cabinet in the kitchen with your own hands

If we talk about how to make a corner cabinet for the kitchen with our own hands and develop diagrams and drawings, it should be clarified that you will have to sweat a lot over creating the corner configuration of the upper and lower drawers. In other cases, the process will not differ significantly from the standard project, unless, of course, many non-standard solutions are planned.

Usually there are two types of corner pedestals: trapezoidal and L-shaped.

trapezoidal corner cabinet
The corner cabinet can be not only L-shaped, but also in the shape of a trapezoid.

Let's consider the solution for the section in the form of the letter "G" for the bottom row:

  1. size: 900x900;
  2. side walls: 500x722;
  3. top, bottom: 884x884 (cut at an angle of 90o);
  4. lower bar: 100x420;
  5. vertical bar: 100x806.

For a trapezoidal shape, the parameters are as follows:

  1. size: 900x900;
  2. side walls: 500x722;
  3. top, bottom: 884x884 (cut at an angle of 45o);
  4. lower bar: 100x600;
  5. vertical bar: 150x806.
drawing of a trapezoidal cabinet for the kitchen
The trapezoidal cabinet has its own parameters.

Corner cabinets for the top of the headset are calculated in the same way. When calculating the dimensions, it is important to take into account the thickness of the side wall. For chipboard sheets, it is 16-18 mm. In addition, a 2 mm gap is required for a double-fronted design to allow the doors to be freely adjusted.

corner cabinet doors
The doors of the corner cabinet should open freely.

The complexity of bringing the project to life also depends on the material chosen. It is not recommended for beginners to work with natural expensive wood; it is better to get experience with more accessible material. In the process itself, nothing is impossible - you need a little diligence and endurance, and then everything will work out.
