Kitchen cabinets, configured like the real thing
Every cabinet's front is configurable — doors, drawers, glass, open shelving, handle side — so your 3D kitchen matches the one you'll build.
A kitchen reads right only when the cabinet fronts do. Base and wall cabinets in RoomSketch3D are fully configurable: pick the front style, the number of doors and drawers, which side the handles sit on, and how many shelves live inside — the door count even fills in automatically from the cabinet's width.
Step by step
- 1
Place a cabinet
Search the catalog for cabinet and add the size you need — base cabinets from 12" to 36", plus wall, tall, corner, sink, and appliance cabinets.
Select any cabinet to open its configuration options. - 2
Pick the front
Doors, drawers, glass, or open shelving. A 36-inch base shows two doors automatically; switch it to a drawer stack for a pot-drawer run.
- 3
Set handles and shelves
Choose the handle side for single-door cabinets (think about which way you'll stand) and the number of interior shelves — visible through glass fronts.
- 4
Corner cabinets too
Corner (lazy-susan) cabinets take their own door styles — bi-fold double, single angled panel, glass, or open — and the cabinet reshapes to match.
- 5
Microwave cabinets
The microwave wall cabinet holds a real microwave you can Show or Hide in its inspector, and the microwave-drawer cabinet sits in a proper base cabinet at counter height — not floating. Use them to place the appliance exactly where it goes in the run.

Appliance garage & angled ends
For the awkward spots: an appliance garage (a counter-top cabinet with a roll-up front to hide the toaster and kettle), angled end cabinets in chamfered or diagonal styles to soften the end of a run, and a corner pantry for the deep corner. Drop them in like any cabinet and they carry the same front and finish options.

Review in 3D
Switch to 3D — fronts, handles, and glass render exactly as configured, so the kitchen elevation you show a cabinet maker matches your spec.
Tips
Mix door and drawer bases
Real kitchens alternate: doors under the sink, drawers by the range. Configure each base separately for a kitchen that reads professionally.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add upper (wall) cabinets, and why does Flow Check flag them?
Wall cabinets are their own items — Kitchen tab → Wall cabinets — with a mount height, so they hang above the base run and don't collide with it. An overlap warning between two cabinets means both are floor-standing (two base cabinets, or a base cabinet under a countertop item); swap the upper one for a Wall Cabinet and the warning goes. Wall cabinets show in 3D and in elevation views at their mounted height.
How do I add a kitchen island?
Kitchen tab → Islands (or search 'island'), drop it in, then set its exact width and depth in the inspector and rotate it to run with the room. Keep 36–48 inches of walkway on every working side — Smart Flow Check flags a walkway that's too tight. Islands take the same fronts, handles, and finishes as the other cabinets. Sizing and clearance guidance is in the Kitchen island placement guide.
