Measure in about 20 minutes
Measure in inches, work around the room in one direction, and write everything down as you go.
Measure wall lengths
Start from one corner and measure each wall straight across (in inches).
Mark doors & windows
Measure the width of each door and window, and note how far they are from the corner.
Locate key items
Mark where your sink, stove, and fridge are positioned — center points if possible.
Measure ceiling height
This helps determine your cabinet height options.
Include obstacles
Note anything that affects cabinets, like vents, outlets, or columns.
Draw a simple sketch
It doesn't have to be perfect — just label all measurements clearly.
Double-check everything
Re-measure to avoid mistakes before sending it to us.
What a measured kitchen looks like
Here's a finished sketch the way we like to receive it: each wall labeled corner-to-corner in inches, doors and windows dimensioned with their distance from the corner, and the sink and range marked at their center points.
- Start in one corner (marked "Start Here") and work around the room.
- Break each wall into segments — e.g. 62″ + 36″ window + 62″.
- Mark sink center and range center so we can plan around them.
Not confident about measuring? No problem — we offer a free in-home measurement, or just bring photos and we'll take it from there.
