is there a standard height to put kitchen wall units at?

matt_boro

if I am having a freestanding fridge freezer, should the top of my kitchen wall units by level with the top of the fridge freezer?

reason I am asking is that I am rebuilding a stud wall on one side of the kitchen, and was aiming to have some of the stud framework at the right height for attaching the wall units to

All depends how high your fridge freezer is. If it's 6ft tall then no, your units will be standing on the ones below them

If you have any larder or oven housing tall units, then this will determine where the top of your wall units go, if not then you can please yourself.

We do have an oven housing. Our wall units are 900mm tall, lining them up with the housing leaves a 450mm clearance between worktop and base of units, and makes reaching into the units easy. Over a hob you would need more, are you having an extractor hood or similar? This might influence the position too.

We have freestanding fridge and freezer, above them we have smaller wall units (450mm tall) for storing little used items.

our wall units are also 52cm from the top of the worktop.
