When you are installing cabinets next to a washer/dryer the width required is 61.” The room needed from the floor to the bottom of the upper cabinetry is generally around 56” clear. A standard measurement for installing upper cabinets is 54” off of the floor to the bottom of the wall cabinet. When you are hanging them in the laundry room it’s best to allow another two inches (56”) if at all possible. This additional clearance leaves more distance for the door of the washing machine to clear the bottom of the cupboard. Washer/Dryer How Much Room is Needed

Throughout the years, adding roll-out drawers to existing kitchen cabinets, vanity, or laundry rooms, has been a rather lucrative venture. Every cabinet design presents a different method of fabrication and installation to make these drawers work properly. This is a wonderful feature to add to kitchens for elderly people to use. They are ideal for people with back problems as well. The reason being, they eliminate a lot of bending over and reaching into the back of a cabinet to find something. It’s important to understand that when these are added to a kitchen, bathroom or laundry room, you may lose up to about 4 ½ inches in width for storage space. This is because there are spacer blocks that must be installed so the drawers miss the doors, when they are being pulled out. So, if you have a double door cabinet that has twenty six inches of clearance inside, left to right, when you add the pull out drawers, your inside clearance for the finished drawer will be twenty one and one half inches.
Tip:Figure out the size of all of the parts that you will need and have a local cabinet maker cut them for you. Or even better yet, have them make the drawers and spacers and then you can just install them yourself. Read more…
