A single sink doesn\u2019t save you that much space or money.<br \/>\nMy kitchen sink base is 30\u201d. You really can\u2019t get much smaller. All of the cabinets stick out 25\u201d from the wall.<\/p>\n<p>A standard stove is 30\u201d wide. So is the over-the-range microwave, which gives you a vent and a light.<\/p>\n<p>Refrigerators vary a lot. When I first remodeled, I put in a small refrigerator. This was a mistake. It was just really inconvenient. And when it broke, I could not find the same size, so I had to change the cabinets. If you leave space 36\u201d wide and 70\u201d tall, you will be able to fit any fridge easily. It comes out 33\u201d from the wall.<\/p>\n<p>The dishwasher is 24\u201d wide. In a perfect world, the dishwasher is right next to the sink. It makes life easier. In this drawing, I put the dishwasher between the stove and the sink, because that gives you some counter surface to work on.<\/p>\n<p>Standard base cabinets start at 12\u201d wide. You can get smaller ones, but they cost more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_103\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/minimum_straight_kitchen.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-103\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/minimum_straight_kitchen.jpg?resize=500%2C142&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Planning the Kitchen: One Wall Kitchen is 132\u201d, 11\u2019 MINIMUM\" width=\"500\" height=\"142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/minimum_straight_kitchen.jpg?resize=500%2C142&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/minimum_straight_kitchen.jpg?resize=768%2C218&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/minimum_straight_kitchen.jpg?resize=1024%2C290&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/minimum_straight_kitchen.jpg?w=1387&amp;ssl=1 1387w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-103\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One Wall Kitchen is 132\u201d, 11\u2019 MINIMUM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, all added up, you have a minimum of 132\u201d, 11\u2019 if you put your whole kitchen on one wall.
