Follow our simple steps below and you can create a sketch of your floor plan with all the information needed for us to begin a kitchen design for you.

Tip:  If you have access to graph paper, drawing your floor plan to scale makes everything much easier to read and understand.  If you don’t, don’t worry; just make sure all measurements are correct. 

Follow These Steps:

• Draw a rough sketch of your kitchen.
• Measure every wall, beginning at the left corner, to the far right corner. Write down the total measurement in inches.
• Go back and measure from the left corner to the edge of any opening, such as a window or door.
• Measure across the opening from outside edge of trim to outside edge of trim.
• Measure from that trim edge to the far wall. Go back and total the measurements from steps 3 and 4. They should equal the measurement in step 2.
• Mark on your sketch, the exact location of the sink, water & gas lines, wall switch & receptacles, and any other obstructions in the room.  Be sure to measure to the center of these and not the edge.
• Measure from the floor to the bottom of your windows & mark it down.
• Then measure from the bottom of the window to the top of the window. Always from outside edge of trim.
• Measure from the top of the window to the ceiling & mark it down.
• Measure from the floor to the ceiling. Total the measurements from steps 7, 8, and 9. They should equal this measurement.
• If you haven’t already, measure the width of any doors, from outside of trim to outside of trim.
• Indicate on your sketch how each door swings. (Into or out of the room and which side the hinge is on).
• Measure all other walls in kitchen following steps 2 through 12. Measure all walls even if you do not plan to put cabinets on them. (This is important for us to present you with a proper design).
• Measure all appliances including stove, refrigerator (including height), microwave, dishwasher & sink.
• Double check your work. These measurements must be 100% correct for your new cabinetry to fit correctly.
