One of the most important factors to consider when choosing cabinets from this line is understanding the dimensions available.

The Petit Brown line is part of Forevermark’s commitment to providing cabinets that balance affordability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

Understanding the range of dimensions is essential for planning a renovation or new build, as it directly affects storage capacity, layout flow, and installation flexibility.
Base Cabinet Dimensions
Base cabinets form the foundation of any kitchen layout, supporting countertops and housing key appliances such as sinks and cooktops. In the Forevermark Petit Brown line, base cabinets are available in a variety of widths to accommodate different storage needs and kitchen sizes.
Typical base cabinet widths include 9″, 12″, 15″, 18″, 21″, 24″, 27″, 30″, 33″, and 36″. Each width serves a specific function:
-
Narrow base cabinets (9″–12″) are ideal for spice pull-outs or small storage spaces.
-
Medium widths (15″–24″) work well for pots, pans, and general kitchen items.
-
Wider options (27″–36″) provide room for large cookware, mixing bowls, and pantry-style storage.
Base cabinet heights generally stand at 34.5″ without countertops, which allows for a standard finished height of 36″ once the countertop is installed. Depths are typically 24″, giving ample storage space while maintaining ergonomic reach.
Wall Cabinet Dimensions
Wall cabinets are mounted above countertops or appliances, providing accessible storage for dishes, glassware, and food items. The Forevermark Petit Brown line offers wall cabinets in multiple heights and widths to fit different ceiling heights and design preferences.
Common wall cabinet heights include 30″, 36″, and 42″.
-
30″ height is standard for kitchens with 8-foot ceilings, leaving room above for crown molding or open space.
-
36″ height reaches closer to the ceiling, ideal for maximizing storage.
-
42″ height offers full height to the ceiling for additional storage in taller kitchens.
Widths range from 9″ to 36″, in 3″ increments, to match base cabinet sizes and maintain design symmetry. Depths for wall cabinets are usually 12″, but special configurations such as microwave or over-the-refrigerator cabinets can be deeper, often 15″–24″.
Tall Cabinet Dimensions
Tall cabinets, also called pantry cabinets, offer expansive storage and are a standout feature in many modern kitchens. The Forevermark Petit Brown line includes tall cabinets in heights of 84″, 90″, and 96″. These heights correspond to different ceiling heights and allow flexibility in design.
Widths for tall cabinets typically come in 18″, 24″, and 30″, while depths range from 24″ to 27″. Inside, they may feature adjustable shelving, pull-out trays, or specialized storage accessories, making them perfect for pantry goods, cleaning supplies, or even as appliance garages.
Specialty Cabinet Sizes
Beyond standard base, wall, and tall cabinets, the Forevermark Petit Brown line offers specialty cabinets designed to address unique storage needs and awkward spaces. Some examples include:
-
Corner base cabinets with diagonal or lazy Susan configurations.
-
Corner wall cabinets for maximizing space in tight angles.
-
Sink base cabinets with modified depths and widths to accommodate plumbing.
-
Oven cabinets to house built-in appliances.
These specialty cabinets often have non-standard dimensions to fit their specific purpose, ensuring that even challenging kitchen layouts can be fully utilized.
Drawer Base Dimensions
Drawer base cabinets in the Petit Brown line offer convenient storage for utensils, cutlery, and cooking tools. They are typically available in widths ranging from 12″ to 36″, in 3″ increments. Standard depth remains 24″, with heights aligning with other base cabinets.
Drawer bases often feature two or three drawers, with the top drawer shallower for smaller items and the bottom drawers deeper for bulkier kitchen tools. This dimensional variety allows for customized drawer arrangements based on cooking habits.
Sink Base Cabinet Dimensions
Sink base cabinets are essential for housing kitchen sinks and related plumbing. In the Forevermark Petit Brown line, sink base widths are commonly offered in 30″, 33″, and 36″. Depth is usually 24″, while height matches other base cabinets at 34.5″ before countertops.
These cabinets are designed without top drawers to allow space for sink bowls and plumbing connections. The inside space can be enhanced with pull-out trash bins or cleaning supply organizers.
Over-the-Refrigerator Cabinet Dimensions
Over-the-refrigerator cabinets maximize vertical storage space in an area that is often underutilized. The Forevermark Petit Brown line typically offers these cabinets in widths of 30″, 33″, and 36″, matching common refrigerator sizes. Heights may be 12″, 15″, 18″, or 24″, depending on the desired look and appliance clearance. Depths are usually 24″ to align with the refrigerator front.
These cabinets can store rarely used kitchen tools, seasonal serving ware, or bulk food items, keeping them out of daily reach but still accessible.
Matching Accessories and Fillers
While the main focus may be on cabinet boxes, matching accessories and fillers in the Petit Brown finish help create a polished look. Fillers, moldings, toe kicks, and panels come in specific dimensions to bridge gaps, hide seams, and add decorative flair.
-
Fillers often come in widths of 3″ or 6″ and can be trimmed as needed.
-
Toe kicks are generally 96″ long and 4.5″ high.
-
Panels may be sized to match the height and depth of adjoining cabinets for integrated appliance fronts or decorative ends.
Having these accessories in matching dimensions ensures the finished kitchen looks intentional and seamless.
Choosing the Right Dimensions for Your Space
When planning a kitchen with the Forevermark Petit Brown line, choosing the right dimensions involves balancing aesthetics, storage needs, and functionality. Smaller kitchens benefit from maximizing vertical storage with taller wall cabinets, while larger kitchens can incorporate wider base cabinets for expansive drawers.
It’s important to measure the available space carefully, accounting for appliances, walkways, and clearances. Working with a kitchen designer or using layout software can help visualize how the chosen cabinet dimensions will function in real life.
