Can I Use Kitchen Cabinets in the Bathroom?
While you can use kitchen cabinets in the bathroom, you’d better be prepared for a lot of work. For example, you’ll need to remove any drawers in the kitchen cabinet to make room for under-sink plumbing. You’ll also need to take the kitchen cabinet apart so you can seal the wood. Otherwise, your cabinets will be vulnerable to moisture.
The last thing you want is for your new bathroom cabinets to not fit or block the doorway. Since kitchen cabinets are often taller and deeper than their bathroom counterparts, this is a real concern. The easiest solution is to hire one of our bathroom cabinet makers. They’ll be able to build custom bathroom cabinets to complement your home and the space you have available.
Depth and Height
Kitchen cabinets tend to be 24 inches deep, while bathroom cabinets are around 21 inches deep. It makes sense that kitchens would have deeper cabinets as you need to store appliances, pots, pans, groceries, and other essentials. Bathroom cabinets tend to not be as deep, which can make it challenging for you to store everything you need where it’s most convenient.
Bathroom cabinets also tend to be shorter than kitchen cabinets (31 inches vs. 34 inches). Since most people prefer not to crouch to get things out of their cabinets, we’ve noticed manufacturers are starting to make taller bathroom cabinets. Yet, bathroom cabinets still tend to be shorter than their kitchen counterparts.
