How to Measure Cabinets

When doing a remodeling or renovation project that involves cabinets, one of the first things you need to do is measure the space where the cabinets will be going. This may seem like a simple task, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind in order to get accurate measurements. Here are a few tips on how to measure cabinets:

  1. You need to take several measurements when you are measuring cabinets. Use a tape measure to get the dimensions of the space where you will be installing the cabinets. Measure the width, height, and depth of the space.
  • Width: Measure the width of the space from one side to the other.
  • Height: Measure the height of the space from the floor to the ceiling.
  • Depth: Measure the depth of the space from front to back.
  1. Make a sketch of the space where you will be installing the cabinets. Draw out the dimensions of the space on a piece of paper. This will help you visualize the space and ensure that your measurements are accurate.
  2. Keep in mind that you need to leave some clearance around the cabinets when you are measuring the space. There needs to be enough space for the doors to open and close properly. Most cabinets have a standard door opening of 24 inches.
  3. Take into account any obstacles in the space when you are measuring for cabinets. Obstructions such as windows, pipes, or electrical outlets can impact the placement of the cabinets. Measure the distance from these obstacles to the nearest wall to make sure that your cabinets will fit in the space.
  4. Your appliances and fixtures will need to be taken into account when you measure for cabinets. Make sure that you have enough space for your refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher. These appliances need to be able to fit in the space between the cabinets. For bathroom cabinets, you need to make sure that there is enough space for the sink and the bathroom fixtures.
  5. Make sure to measure twice and cut once when measuring for cabinets. This will help avoid any mistakes that could impact the look and function of your cabinets.
  6. Write down your measurements so that you don’t forget them. It is also a good idea to take pictures of the space before starting the installation. This will help you remember where everything is supposed to go.

Measuring cabinets may seem like a simple task, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind. By following these tips, you can be sure that your measurements are accurate and that your cabinets will fit properly in the space.

Measuring Your Bathroom Cabinets and Kitchen Cabinets

  1. Measure the width and depth of your space where you plan to install your cabinets, which will determine your cabinets’ size. Make sure you measure up to where your ceiling height ends.
  2. Measure any windows, walls, corners, or other obstructions within the space where you want to place your cabinets—these must be measured for accurate cabinet measurements.
  3. For wall cabinets, measure from the floor to the center of the top cabinets. For base cabinets, measure from the top of the cabinet to your desired height.
  4. Measure the exact height of your ceiling at several different points. This will help you confirm that your cabinets will fit, taking into account any obstructions such as light fixtures or ductwork.
  5. Keep in mind that the floor may not be level and that your wall cabinets must be mounted at the same height as they are deep. Make sure the counters, sinks, and other appliances you plan to use in your kitchen will fit under any wall cabinets.
  6. For corner cabinets, measure their point-to-point dimensions to determine the number of cabinets that fit into your space. Measure both inside corners and outside corners.
  7. Please provide additional photos of the current kitchen or bathroom. This will help us better understand what measurements you’re bringing in and what could work best for you.

Be sure to take measurements with tape measures in hand and mark the numbers in pencil where you intend to place your cabinets. Write down all your measurements. Then you can take the information to C4L Cabinetry, and we will walk you through the rest of the process as you choose your new cabinets.

Factors to Consider When Selecting Cabinets or Vanities

There are many factors to consider when selecting kitchen cabinets. The following list includes some of the most important considerations:

  1. The size of your space will have a big impact on the type of cabinets you need. If you have a small area, you may want to select cabinets that are lower in height so that they don’t make the space feel cramped.
  2. The layout of your room will also impact the type of cabinets you select. If you have a lot of counter space, you may want to choose taller cabinets and have more storage space.
  3. Your kitchen or bath style will dictate the type of cabinets you select. If you have a modern kitchen, you may want to choose sleek, contemporary cabinets. If you have a traditional kitchen, you may want to choose more traditional, ornate cabinets.
  4. The finish of your cabinets is also an important consideration. You can choose from a variety of finishes, such as natural wood, painted, or stained.
  5. The hardware for your cabinets is also an important consideration. You can choose from various handles and knobs to find the perfect look for your kitchen and bathroom.
