How Do I Measure My Kitchen?

Measuring your kitchen accurately is the crucial first step in planning your kitchen renovation or upgrade. Follow these simple steps to ensure that you get precise measurements for your space:

Gather Your Tools

Before you begin measuring, gather the following tools: Tape Measure, Pencil, Paper or Notebook, Graph Paper (optional)

Measure the Walls

Start by measuring the length of each wall in your kitchen. Begin at one corner and measure to the opposite corner, recording the measurements as you go. Be sure to measure both the length and height of each wall.

Note the Locations of Doors and Windows

Next, note the locations of any doors and windows in your kitchen. Measure the width and height of each opening, including the trim. Record these measurements and indicate their positions on your sketch or diagram.

Measure the Distance Between Fixtures

Measure the distance between any fixed features in your kitchen, such as appliances, sinks, and built-in cabinets. Record these measurements and indicate their positions on your sketch or diagram.

Check for Obstructions

Take note of any obstructions in your kitchen, such as pipes, vents, or outlets. Measure their dimensions and locations, as these may affect the placement of your cabinets and appliances.

Create a Sketch or Diagram

Using your measurements, create a sketch or diagram of your kitchen layout. Include all walls, doors, windows, and fixed features, as well as the dimensions and locations of each. This will serve as a helpful reference when planning your new kitchen design.

Double-Check Your Measurements

Before finalising your design plans, double-check your measurements to ensure accuracy. It's always a good idea to measure each wall and feature multiple times to avoid any errors.
