End of Summer: Time to Plan Your Next Home Project

September 5, 2024

As summer winds down, it's the perfect time to decide whether to jump into a last-minute project or start planning for a more extensive remodel next year. No matter the scale of your project—whether it's new construction, a remodel, or a small addition—precise measurements are key to ensuring a successful outcome.

Even if you're still in the early planning stages, it’s important to start measuring your space. Having accurate room dimensions and knowing the placement of fixtures will help you dream big and plan effectively.

Key Areas to Measure

Room Dimensions:  Begin by measuring the length, width, and height of your room. These measurements are crucial for planning your cabinetry design and overall layout.

Existing Fixtures: It’s essential to measure existing fixtures and their locations to ensure your new designs integrate seamlessly. Measure the size and location of air vents, note the positions of water pipes, especially in kitchens and bathrooms, and measure doors and windows, including their height, width, and swing direction. For more detailed guidance, check out one of our brand’s measuring guides to ensure your measurements are accurate and confidence-inspiring.
