Step 3: Sketch the outline

Sketch the basic shape of your kitchen. Be sure to include any obstacles or structural features.

Step 4: Fill it in

Now draw in any doorways, windows, or other features that will dictate where you can install your cabinets. Mark everything clearly and create labels for each measurement of where cabinets will be installed. (see example on this page).

Step 5: Measure

Finally break out your tape measure and record measurements for all of the openings you labeled in the step above. Measure from outside edge to outside edge. If need be round up to the nearest inch. Remember this is just to get started with your design, and we can get exact measurements as we progress.

Step 6: Add your appliances

You should have an idea for where your appliances will be; for example: sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, or any other appliances. Make sure to includes this in your drawing, with the measurements of them.
