A Practical Way to Refresh Your Kitchen Without a Complicated Remodel

Updating a kitchen does not have to involve long timelines or complicated planning. Standard-size kitchen cabinets offer a practical way to refresh your space with styles you love, dependable durability, and a much faster installation process than custom builds. Kitchen Re-Styled brings decades of experience, friendly design support, and high-quality materials to homeowners across St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa, and nearby communities, making it easier to create a kitchen that feels both beautiful and functional.

Planning Your Layout: How to Measure a Kitchen for Standard Cabinets

Standard cabinetry delivers the best results when measurements are taken accurately from the start. A few extra minutes with a tape measure can save days of rework later.

Here is what to record before choosing your cabinet sizes:

• Overall Dimensions: Measure the length and height of every wall where cabinets will be placed.

• Obstructions: Note the locations and sizes of all doors, windows, and utility connections (outlets, water lines, gas lines, vents).

• Appliances: Record the exact width, depth, and height of all appliances (refrigerator, range, dishwasher) to ensure you leave the necessary space and proper clearances.

• Ceiling Height: Standard wall cabinets are typically 30", 36", or 42" high. Knowing your ceiling height helps you determine the tallest option you can use.

Pro Tip: Do not rely on old cabinet sizes. Manufacturers follow current standards, so treat every layout as a fresh start.

Kitchen Re-Styled provides complimentary in-home measurement and design consultations, so you do not have to figure any of this out alone. A design consultant will walk you through your options, and we will confirm final measurements during the pre-install visit.

Making Standard Cabinets Fit Seamlessly: Fillers, Corners, and Smart Planning

Most kitchens are not built in perfect three-inch increments. That is where fillers and corner planning come in.

Fillers

Fillers are three or six-inch strips that bridge small gaps between walls and cabinets. They allow the layout to land exactly where you want it without modifying cabinet boxes. You should never cut down a standard cabinet to make it fit. Using proper fillers creates a polished, custom look.

Blind Corners

Corner spaces can be tricky. Blind corner base cabinets are designed to make use of those areas while keeping your layout aligned with the rest of the room. Depending on the manufacturer, blind corner cabinets usually leave three to nine inches or more of space behind the unit.

These details matter, and our designers guide you through every step so your cabinets line up cleanly and function the way you expect.
