In order for you to create a successful kitchen design, accurate measurements are essential. By following these simple instructions, you will be able to ensure the correct fit of cabinetry and appliances. So let’s get started!
Begin by measuring your walls, ideally approximately 1m from the floor and always keeping the tape measure taught (so an extra set of hands will be helpful).
Start in one corner of the room and measure to the adjacent wall. Record this measurement (in millimetres) and proceed to the next wall. Repeat this method until all walls are measured. Now, make a sketch of this floor plan onto the planning grid supplied within this guide and transfer your measurements to the outside perimeter.
Now measure any door and window openings, remembering to always measure from the outside edge of architrave/trim to the outside edgeof the architrave to trim. Also measure for their location on the wall, from the corners and also from the floor. Now transfer these measurements onto your floorplan, as shown below.
Finally, identify all utility and service locations such as gas, electrical and plumbing and mark the relevant symbol onto your plan—remember to indicate it’s height in millimetres also.
Some tips to consider when planning your kitchen…
DO
Allow 636mm space for your dishwasher (18mm x 2 for the end panels and a 600mm gap for the
dishwasher).
Allow at least 450mm of bench top space either side of a cooktop for safety and for work space.
Allow a minimum of 650mm between your cooktop and rangehood.
Allow for a space between any cabinets and walls so that you can fully open the door.
Allow a minimum of 1.2m between opposite cabinets (e.g. Galley or U-shape kitchens).
