How to measure for cabinets:
- Draw an outline of your kitchen layout, or shape of the room, marking where the walls are.
- Mark where any windows or doorways are in your kitchen and label them.
- Mark your cabinet layout. This could be your current layout, or if you’re looking to change, your desired cabinet layout.
- Mark where appliances are/will be and label them.
- Now you can take your measuring tape and measure the following. *Note: measurements don’t have to be precise to the 1/10th inch, you can round to the nearest number.
- Measure windows and doorways from outer trim to outer trim (instead of just the window opening) and label the measurements.
- Measure walls to outer trims of windows/doors, or wall to wall if there are no other wall openings.
- Measure floor to ceiling.
- In your sketch, mark whether an area has upper cabinets or lower cabinets (or both).
- Measure the depth of your counter from edge to wall (this will help us with knowing which cabinets are best).
