Time is money. We wouldn’t dare waste either of yours.

Have you ever gone to a kitchen showroom, found the perfect set of kitchen cabinets, only to have to double check the dimensions of your kitchen? Walking into a kitchen showroom without the necessary information can be a real time sink. Here are four simple things that all kitchen designers need to design your perfect kitchen:

Ceiling Height

Knowing the ceiling height is important because it will determine what the height your wall cabinets are going to be. If you have a lower ceiling height, you have to have shorter wall cabinets in order to have enough space from the countertop to the bottom of the wall cabinet. This ensures that you have enough space to work with.

Back Wall Dimensions

Back wall dimensions are important because it’ll allow your designer to know what size kitchen cabinets can be fitted along your wall or walls.

Appliance Sizes

Appliance sizes have standard sizes, but many of them vary depending on manufacturers, brands, etc.

Window Size and Placement

Knowing where the window is will allow the designer to omit wall cabinets where the window is, ensuring a more accurate estimate.
