How To Measure Your Kitchen

 

Measuring a space is relatively straightforward. You do not need to be an expert kitchen fitter or designer to do it – all you need is a piece of paper, a measuring tape, pencil, ruler and a rubber! Our designers need accurate measurements on which to base their design so take your time, and double check each measurement.

Because corners and walls aren’t always square, particularly in older houses, take multiple measurements for each surface and ALWAYS used the smallest.
ALL measurements to be in mm.

  • Measure the width of the window.
  • Measure from the corner to the window.

Notice how the boiler measurements have been shown, but the distance from the corner should also be noted. i.e. 50mm
