Countertops in many home stores are sold by the linear foot not a square foot, which is 12 inches by 12 inches. A linear foot is 12 inches wide and 25 inches deep because the standard depth of kitchen countertops is 25 inches. Finally, if your heart is set on granite but your wallet is stuck on laminate, you're in luck. The hottest new laminates are made to look like the much more expensive granite.
If you have the luxury of designing your kitchen from scratch, why not size everything just as you like it? It's best to start from some standards, then tweak them to suit you. Here are some guidelines to get you started: Counter Height: The standard is 34 - 36. But this can vary even more based on your size and preferences. The diagram above shows how to determine comfortable work surface heights based on measuring down from your elbow. Counter Depth: The standard is 24. But again, this can vary based on your size, appliance depths, and details of the backsplash and cabinetry. Upper Cabinet/Shelving Clearance: The distance from the countertop to the upper cabinets or shelves should be 15 - 20. Any lower and you'll impede on work space.
