How to Measure Kitchen Cabinets

Measuring kitchen cabinets is a breeze with Wholesale Cabinets Warehouse! Our step-by-step kitchen measuring guide and user-friendly tools are designed to make the process a walk in the park. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how straightforward and uncomplicated it is to get accurate measurements with us. This empowers you to proceed with your kitchen remodel, knowing that you have the right tools at your disposal.

  1. Start with a Graph Paper Floor Plan: Get some graph paper and a pencil. Sketch the outline of your kitchen, including doorways, windows, and existing structures like kitchen islands. Don't forget to mark the location of the electrical outlets. This step is crucial for determining the kitchen layout and appliance placement later.
  2. Measure The Entire Space: Once you have sketched out the basic floorplan of your kitchen, it is time to start measuring your kitchen! Begin taking kitchen measurements horizontally and then move on to vertical measurements. We recommend using a tape measure because of its flexible nature. It's crucial to gather kitchen measurements by working from floor to ceiling around the kitchen. This method ensures accuracy, giving you the confidence that you have all the critical kitchen measurements.
  3. Record Door and Window Measurements: Next, record and measure the width, height, and length of all the doorways and windows in your kitchen. These kitchen measurements are more important than you may think! If any of the numbers are incorrectly noted or forgotten completely, your kitchen cabinets may not fit properly when they are delivered and assembled, causing major problems and delays in your kitchen renovation.
  4. Mark Any Obstacles on Floor Plan:  After that, map out where there are any obstructions on your floor plan drawing. These can be things such as light fixtures, range hoods, kitchen islands, existing countertops, windows and doors. Capturing completely accurate kitchen measurements for these obstacles is critical, especially if you are only replacing your kitchen cabinets rather than overhauling the original kitchen.
  5. Record Appliance Measurements:  Along the same lines, if you plan to keep the existing appliances, gather those dimensions as well. Adding those to your list of kitchen measurements will empower you and grant you peace of mind when ordering your new kitchen cabinets.
  6. Jot Down Cabinet Measurements:  Based on all the kitchen measurements you have gathered, you can now figure out the cabinet sizes you will need to order! Be sure to reference everything from kitchen appliances to doorways.
  7. Select Kitchen Layout:  Once you have noted all those details and dimensions, it is time to visualize your new kitchen! Review the different kitchen layout options and select the one that best fits your lifestyle and space. Kitchen layouts include galley, L-shaped, U-shaped, one-wall, peninsula, and island kitchens.
  8. Shop for Kitchen Cabinets:  Last but certainly not least, it is time to go shopping! This is where those kitchen measurements come in handy. From Bristol Linen to Deluxe Shaker Ash Gray, no matter what cabinet door style you choose, those dimensions must be utilized to order the correct size upper and base cabinets.
