How to Measure Your Kitchen
freshcabinets.com · 530-303-8184
You don't need to be a pro — just accurate. These five measurements are what we need most to design your cabinets correctly. Sketch each wall on the graph paper, label every dimension, and send it along with photos of each wall.
The 5 Critical Measurements
1
Ceiling Height: Measure floor to ceiling in multiple spots — ceilings are often uneven. Note any soffits or dropped sections and measure their height from the floor and depth from the wall.
2
Window Sill Height: Measure from the floor to the bottom of the window sill. This determines how tall the upper cabinets can be above the counter. Also measure the window width and the distance from each side of the window to the nearest corner.
3
Door & Opening Placement: For every door, measure the width of the opening and the distance from the nearest corner to each side of the door frame. Note which direction the door swings — this affects cabinet placement.
4
Wall Lengths: Measure each wall from corner to corner at counter height (36"). Measure at the floor and ceiling too — walls are rarely perfectly square. Use the smallest measurement.
5
Appliance Locations: Mark the centerline of the sink drain, the range or cooktop, and the refrigerator. Note each appliance width. Include the location of any gas lines, electrical outlets, and the dishwasher rough-in.
Sample Floor Plan
Draw one floor plan view for each room. Label every wall length, window, door, and appliance location.
