Kitchen cabinets tend to be larger in all three dimensions compared to bathroom cabinets. That’s because kitchen cabinets are often used for storing large objects such as pots and pans, as well as woks, slow cookers and other rarely used cooking equipment. Usually, the bathroom tends to have more limited floor space.
The standard height for kitchen cabinets is 34 inches high. Bathroom cabinets come in a little shorter, typically at 31 inches. These cabinets are also shallower, with a standard depth of 21 inches, versus 24 inches for kitchen models. These differences affect more than just the storage space available. You’ll need to keep the dimensions in mind when purchasing the sink for each room because, even if you like a particular style, it may not work with both sets of cabinets.
Kitchen and bathroom cabinets are interchangeable to a certain extent, but there are construction differences to consider. Marble and tile tops are popular choices for both because they are durable and easy to keep clean. Laminate is a more inexpensive option. However, it may not work as well in a bathroom because the humidity from the shower can cause peeling or defects over time. Moisture can also affect cabinets that have been painted, so make sure you use a latex paint designed for bathroom areas.
