How to measure and plan
your new kitchen
We have recently put together a pack and a video to enable you to fully plan your kitchen yourself. This gives you the full ability to design your own kitchen. Even though many kitchen companies offer a free design service we find that this eventually gets put on the bill at the end. We try to keep overheads down and do not generally offer a design service. However, if you supply us with your room measurements and an idea of what you would like we would be happy to take a look for you.
How to measure and send us your own plan
- Download our kitchen design graph paper and questions
- Print off the pack
- Fully draw the room on the graph paper and fill out as much information as possible on both papers.
- Scan and email us your plan and information so we can take a look and help you along.
Tips for Planning your kitchen
- A good starting point is a sink under the window, with the dishwasher at the side of this after this another wall can fit a cooker with hob.
- Having ovens at eye height is a hugely popular idea as it makes all your cooking much more accessible.
- Islands or walkways ideally need to have at least a 1m gap around the island to allow good access.
- Straight corner units have 650mm either way to allow for a corner post and good fitment of the kitchen.
- You can take a look at the full list of standard units here to give you an idea of what units fit.
