- First, draw a rough sketch of your kitchen.
- Then, measure every wall. Begin at the left corner going
to the right corner.
be sure to write down the
total measurement in inches.
- Now, 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 left outside edge of
trim to right outside edge of trim.
- Measure from the right trim edge to the far wall. Be sure to go
back and total the measurements
from steps 3, 4, and 5. They should equal the measurement
in step 2.
- Mark on your sketch the exact location of the sink,
all water and gas lines, any wall switches and
receptacles, and any other obstructions in the room.
Remember to be sure to measure to the center
of these and not the edge.
- Measure from the floor to the bottom of your windows
and 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 and
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.(In to
or out of the room and which side
the hinge is on).
