Kitchen Design Guide

Design with confidence

A well-measured kitchen is the foundation of a flawless design! Here’s a step-by-step kitchen measuring guide to ensure your layout is accurate and your cabinets fit perfectly.

1. Gather Your Tools

  • Tape measure
  • Graph paper or digital sketching tool
  • Pencil & eraser
  • Level

2. Measure the Overall Space

  • Measure wall-to-wall width in multiple spots (rooms aren’t always square).
  • Measure floor-to-ceiling height, noting any ceiling variations.
  • Locate windows and doorways, including trim width.

3. Identify Fixed Elements

  • Mark plumbing, gas lines, and electrical outlets.
  • Note appliances’ positions (existing or planned).
  • Record any obstacles like beams, soffits, or radiators.

4. Confirm Corner Angles

  • If your design includes corner cabinets, ensure corners are true 90° angles.

5. Double-Check & Sketch It Out

  • Draw a simple layout with dimensions.
  • Double-check your numbers—accuracy avoids costly mistakes!

Turn Your Vision Into Reality

Transform your dream kitchen into reality by carefully planning every detail. Begin by defining your lifestyle needs, establishing a realistic budget, and exploring layout options. Appliance selection and placement, along with thoughtful lighting, are crucial. When choosing artisan cabinets, consider style (Shaker, flat-panel, etc.) and color (white, gray, wood tones) to complement your overall aesthetic. Artisan Cabinets offer customization and quality craftsmanship, allowing you to create a truly unique space. Collaborate with a professional designer to refine your vision and ensure a functional and beautiful kitchen.
