Need help with dry bar upper double stacked cabinet layout

3 years ago

We are adding a 72" dry bar in our basement. The ceiling height is 108” and functional storage space is a priority for us. For some reason, our contractor is limiting the cabinet door options to 24" and 36". This is what we were thinking, but I have concerns. Is upper double stacked cabinets that don't align OK? Could someone please help with the layout?

I may be misunderstanding this. can you not make the lowers the same as the uppers? id do all 36” just to have a liitle bit more shelf space.

sheloveslayouts – I guess we could do that. I was just concerned that a wall of all 36" cabinets would look odd (although my current configuration probably doesn't look any better).

Raimondi – Agree that we need to push for more available sizes. If we are able to access other sizes, what would you recommend?

I suspect if you get a rendering of all 36” cabs and compare side by side, the all-36 will look less chaotic.
