I demolished this kitchen. The cabinets were probably decades old. To replace them, I am limited to the sizes they sell at Home Depot. It won't be an exact fit. How do I fill in the gaps. I could get exact measurements later.

There's a total of 10 cabinets and some appliances I need to put in.

They make matching filler strips that you use to fill the gap between the existing wall and the cabinets. You also need to use these strips at times in L or U shaped kitchens to allow for oven and dishwasher doors to open and to prevent drawers from being unusable in the corners. The filler strips may need tp be scribed and ripped down to fill the gap completely.
