How far should the door be from the corner of the kitchen?

MEASURING THE WALL FROM CORNER TO DOOR

The width of the wall (K) from the corner to the door frame must be calculated by considering the depth (X) of the kitchen units that are installed against that wall.

In general it is always advisable to maintain a safety gap from the wall of about 2cm.

A - If there are base units, the width of the wall is calculated by adding to the depth of the base units (X), a 2cm gap before the door frame. The total width of the wall will be: K=X+2.

B - If there are tall units, it will not be sufficient to add a 2cm safety gap, but you must also consider the space taken up by a switch (generally 12cm).

In this case, the width of the side panel will be calculated by adding to the depth of the tall units (X=), a 2cm gap between the tall unit and the switch, 12cm for the switch and a 2cm gap between the switch and the doorframe.

The total width of the wall will be: K= X+16cm.
