20 best free kitchen CAD blocks to download in 2026
The 20 free kitchen DWG blocks worth keeping in 2026 — cabinets, islands, sinks, appliances and worktops, with the standard sizes that make a kitchen plan work.

What a usable kitchen block set needs
A kitchen plan is unusually unforgiving: cabinets come in fixed modules, appliances have standard footprints, and the work triangle between sink, hob and fridge has to actually work. So a good kitchen block library is less about pretty geometry and more about correct, standard sizes you can lay end to end and trust. Every block in this roundup is free, downloads as DWG, needs no login, and is cleared for commercial use.
We have grouped the 20 the way you build a kitchen on the page: the cabinet carcasses that form the runs, the island or peninsula in the middle, the wet and hot zones (sink and hob), and the appliances and finishing pieces. Open the kitchen category to browse thumbnails, and as always, drop a quick dimension across anything you download to confirm it matches the standard sizes called out below before you commit it to a layout.
Base, wall and tall cabinets (1–9)
Cabinets are the backbone of the plan, and they are modular. Base units are 600mm deep and come in widths of 300, 400, 450, 500, 600, 800 and 900mm; wall units sit 300 to 350mm deep at the same widths; tall units (for an oven housing, a larder or a fridge surround) run the full height at 600mm deep. A clean cabinet block reads as a simple rectangle with a door-swing or drawer indication, and snaps end to end without gaps.
The general cabinet block here is the piece you will reuse most — insert it, then stretch or array it along a wall to build a continuous run, keeping each unit on its module so the carcasses line up honestly with real cabinetry. Nine cabinet blocks (a 600 and a 900 base, two drawer bases, two wall units, a corner unit and two tall units) are enough to draw the cabinetry for almost any domestic kitchen, from a galley to an L-shaped family room.
Islands, peninsulas and worktops (10–13)
The island is where a kitchen plan earns its drama and its circulation test. A workable island is usually 900 to 1200mm deep and at least 1000mm long, and crucially needs around 1000mm of clear gangway on every side so two people can pass and appliance doors and dishwasher fronts can open fully. A peninsula does the same job against a wall when the floor is too tight for a full island.
Lay the worktop as a continuous polyline over the base runs so the counter reads as one surface rather than a series of separate boxes — that is what makes the plan look like a designed kitchen rather than a parts diagram. Four blocks here cover it: a standard island, a breakfast-bar island with overhang, a peninsula, and a worktop run you can stretch to length. Place the island last, after the perimeter runs, so you can judge the gangways against everything else already on the drawing.
Sinks, hobs and the wet-and-hot zones (14–17)
The sink and hob anchor the work triangle. A single-bowl sink sits in a 600mm cabinet, a one-and-a-half or double bowl in an 800 to 900mm cabinet; draw the bowl and drainer so the plan shows which way the drainer runs. A standard hob or cooktop is 600mm wide (900mm for a range), and an extractor hood should sit centred over it. Keep a clear worktop landing zone beside both the sink and the hob — it is a real ergonomic requirement, not a nicety.
Four blocks handle the wet and hot zones: a single-bowl sink, a double-bowl-and-drainer sink, a four-burner hob, and a hood. Insert each centred on its host cabinet so the openings line up with the carcass below, and your kitchen plan will read correctly to a fabricator. If you need a manufacturer's exact appliance for a submittal, pull that from the maker's own CAD download; for layout and coordination, these generic blocks are all you need.
Appliances and finishing the plan (18–20)
Finish with the freestanding and integrated appliances that complete the brief. A standard fridge-freezer is around 600 by 650mm in plan (American-style up to 900mm wide), a dishwasher is 600mm, and a washing machine the same. Show each on the plan even when it tucks under a worktop, because an undrawn appliance is exactly the thing that quietly steals a doorway's clearance. Three blocks — a fridge-freezer, a dishwasher and a built-in oven housing — round the set out to 20.
To use any of them, open the kitchen category, click through to the block, and download the DWG or DXF free. Insert with INSERT at scale 1, snap to the cabinet edges, and keep everything on a dedicated kitchen layer so you can dim or isolate it for a services or structural sheet. With these 20 blocks you can draw a complete, standards-correct kitchen — runs, island, wet and hot zones, and appliances — without drawing a single carcass by hand.
Questions
Frequently asked
What is the standard depth of a kitchen base cabinet block?+
Base cabinets are 600mm deep with widths in modules (300, 400, 600, 800, 900mm); wall cabinets are 300 to 350mm deep. Lay the blocks on their module so the carcasses line up with real cabinetry.
How much clearance should I leave around a kitchen island?+
Aim for about 1000mm of clear gangway on every side so two people can pass and appliance and dishwasher doors can open fully. A drawn island block lets you check this at a glance.
Where can I download free kitchen CAD blocks in DWG?+
The kitchen category on CADBlockDWG has cabinets, islands, sinks and appliances free in DWG and DXF, with no account required and commercial use allowed.
