Kitchen Tips: How To Measure Your Space

Measuring your kitchen for new cabinetry can seem daunting and confusing for most people. If you’re not sure where to begin, we have compiled an easy to follow guide on how to measure your space.

STEPS TO MEASURING

1. Draw an outline of your kitchen in plan view (as seen from above). Don’t worry about making this perfect, a rough outline is all you need here.

2. Mark down any doors, windows, boilers or anything else that needs access in the rough on your outline.

3. This is where the measuring tape comes out! Go around your kitchen as measure it in millimetres bit by bit, from one corner to another for the total wall length, then once again stopping for doors, windows etc and measuring them separately too.

4. Measure the height of your windows are from the floor.

5. Measure your ceiling height and take note for any beams.

6. Mark down where all plumbing, gas, electrical and vents are currently.

7. Once you have these measurements from your rough plan, transfer it all to our kitchen planner here: Design Your Space From there you can start dragging your units in, making sure you include all your must haves first.
