Step-by-Step: How to Measure Your Kitchen
“Designing your dream kitchen has to start somewhere; measurements are the key.”
✅ Step 1: Draw a Floor Plan
Start by sketching the layout of your kitchen from a top-down view. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but make sure it reflects the room’s shape. Include:
- Walls and wall breaks
- Doors and how they open
- Windows and sills
- Radiators and pipes
- Existing appliances and fixtures
Label each wall (e.g. Wall A, Wall B) for easy reference later.
✅ Step 2: Sketch Each Wall
Now go one wall at a time. Draw a straight-on sketch of each wall. Then:
- Measure the total width from corner to corner
- Mark the position and size of all windows, doors, and openings
- Measure ceiling height
- Note socket and switch positions, light fittings, gas or plumbing outlets
Pro Tip: Measure everything twice to ensure accuracy.
✅ Step 3: Start Measuring
Using a reliable tape measure, record:
- Widths and heights of doors and windows (include frames)
- Distances between features (e.g., window to a corner, door to the floor)
- Heights from the floor to window sills and ceiling
- Appliance spaces and any fitted furniture dimensions
This data gives your designer everything they need to plan a tailored kitchen that fits perfectly.
