<p><strong>Yes</strong>, leaving a standard <strong>2&#8243; wide filler</strong> on each side of your cabinet run is the best option. Fillers are useful because they create a transition between out-of-plumb walls and perfectly plumb, square cabinets. At 2&#8243; wide, they provide enough space that any wall irregularities are much less noticeable and won&#8217;t draw the eye.</p>
