A good kitchen design depends on accurate measurements. First, decide what you need, what you want and what
you'd like to keep and incorporate in your new kitchen.
Measure the space carefully and create a sketch of the room, showing the locations of all appliances, plumbing,
electrical outlets, light switches, windows and doors you wish to keep.

Wall
- Begin in one corner, select a wall and measure its length from corner to corner.
- Write the measurement on the corresponding wall on your sketch.
- Go to the next corner and measure the length of the next wall.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all wall measurements are complete.
- Measure the height of the room. Write this dimension in the space provided.
Windows and doors
- Measure the width of the window.
- Measure the height of the window. Write the dimension on the drawing.
- Repeat step 1 for the doorways.
Note: The trim is considered part of the window or door. Measure from the outside of the trim
on one side to the outside of the trim on the other side.
Utilities
Locate any existing plumbing and measure the distance from each wall and floor.
Repeat for electrical outlets, light switches, lighting hookups and telephone jacks.
Place sink cabinets and appliances as close to the original layout as possible.
