Measuring for your new Kitchen doesn’t have to be difficult. All you need is a tape measure, pencil, and grid.
Use the sample grid provided (see downloadable form) as a guide and create a sketch of the room.
- Start in one corner of the room, select a wall and measure the distance, in inches, of every item on that wall from the corner. Write all measurements on your sketch.
- Go to the next corner and locate every item on the next wall in relationship to that corner.
- Continue to measure all around the room, until everything is located, measured, and marked on your sketch (See sample grid.)
- Jot down the overall length of walls, height of the room and distance of every item from the floor - like outlets, light switches, and ledges or soffits.
- Measure carefully and double check all measurements.
- Mark exact location of sink, drains, gas lines, electrical outlets and switches on the grid.
