A 10x10 kitchen refers to a kitchen layout measuring 10 feet by 10 feet (100 square feet total). It is a common industry standard used to estimate kitchen remodeling costs and cabinetry pricing.
A standard 10x10 kitchen typically includes 10 to 12 cabinets, depending on the layout and design choices. The cabinet count includes both Wall Cabinets (4-6 units) and Base Cabinets (5-6 units), and does not include accessories such as crown molding, decorative panel, handle/knobs hardware, countertop, sink/faucet or appliances.
Key Factors Affecting Cabinet Count
- Layout Choice: L-shaped, U-shaped, or galley kitchens will have different cabinet placements.
- Appliance Placement: A larger refrigerator or range may reduce available cabinet space.
- Custom vs Stock Cabinets: Custom layouts may optimize space better.
