Below is a step-by-step guide for drawing and measuring your kitchen. Each step is color coded and matches the corresponding color in the sample drawing below. To make it easier to draw your kitchen we have provided a grid that can be printed and used as grid paper.
Note: All of your measurements should be in inches.
Draw a rough outline of your kitchen. Use the following symbols in your drawing for doors and windows.
Note: For doorways with doors, draw the doorway according to which way the door swings.
Draw in any obstructions such as radiators, pipes, sink plumbing, etc. that you either can not, or do not, want moved.
A) Beginning at the top left corner of your drawing measure to the first window, door, or wall. Continue clockwise around the room until each wall, window and door has been measured.
Note: When measuring doors and windows the trim is considered part of the door or window. As shown in the drawing below, measure from the outside of the trim on one side to the outside of the trim on the other side.
B) Measure the ceiling height and write it in the center of your drawing.
C) As shown in the drawing below, measure from the floor to the bottom of each window and also measure the overall window height. If you have printed these instructions, write the measurements in the table provided below.
A) Measure any obstructions such as radiators, pipes, etc. that you either can not, or do not want moved. If the obstruction is close to a wall, measure out from the wall to the edge of the obstruction.
B) Measure from the second closest wall to the edge of the obstruction.
C) If the obstruction does not span the full height of the room, measure the height of the obstruction.
