You should have a minimum of 18" between countertop and the bottom of the upper cabinets to allow for appliances as well as enough clearance for food prep. Base cabinets will end up with a height around 36"ht with the countertop. Bar height is usually around 42". Upper cabinets can be 30" in height or taller depending on your ceiling height and whether or not you are taking them up to a ceiling or soffit. Make sure to adjust for crown moulding on the cabinets or wall.
