Browneye Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 When placing a cabinet in home designer, is it necessary to move it say 1" from a wall to ensure the doors and drawers open easily or do you butt them right up against the wall? I think I'm overdoing things by always putting 1" on each side of a row of cabinets between the last cabinet (top or bottom) when they butt up against a wall. What about things like a refrigerator and washer/dryer? I'm leaving a 2" space on each side of those items to make sure doors open easily and there is air movement around them.

Rookie65 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 My thought is that it depends on what type of cabinet you are using. If it's a traditional overlay front w/a framed box, then the doors are usually recessed in from the sides. If it's full overlay, then the doors go right to the outside of the box. For the other fixtures you mentioned, if you know the manufacturer and/or have access to their specs, that should guide you as to what you may or not need for space.
