Standard heights for your kitchen counter, bar, dining table and other household items.

We are a tall family and over the years and few hellish renovations I gradually learn that we have to stand up for ourselves while convincing architects or Home depot employees in necessity of an extra height for our kitchen counters, vanities and toilets. A few cm do make a big difference for your comfort.

What are the standard household heights a how much freedom do you have?
  • Kitchen countertops: 36" standard. Tall people may prefer 37-38". Short people 32-35". To find the ideal countertop height, hold your elbows out at a 45-degree angle as if you were placing your hands on a counter. The distance from your hands to the floor is the ideal countertop height for you. However, beware that most appliances designed for 36" counter height.
  • Counter stools: 24".
  • Kitchen bar: 42-43".
  • Bar stools: 30".
  • Pendant lights should be hang 40-43" above the kitchen island.
  • Dining tables: 30".
  • Dining chairs: 17-19".
  • Bathroom vanity: 34-35".
  • Standard toilet: 16-17" height. Comfort height toilets for tall people or people with disabilities: 17-19" height.
Find more details in this Houzz article: Easy reference: Standard height for 10 household details.

  1. That is pretty much correct. Although here over in SA our Kitchen stools for bar counters are 37-38 Inches and the standard bathroom vanities are just a little higher than those measurements. Very interesting none the less. Thanks. Jason. DBN Builders
