Measuring the available space is the starting point for "making it all fit ".

However, if the thought of reading numbers on a rule makes your palms sweat, have no fear! Here's some guidelines:

  • First and formost--no need to be exact! At this stage, if your measurements are within one (1) inch, that will be close enough. (Really!)
  • You should use a steel tape measure; one that spans your longest run in one shot is ideal. Avoid measuring with a ruler, yard stick, or cloth tape.

OK, a couple of reminders while the thought of new cabinetry is running through your head:

  • Crown Point's lead time runs approximately 12-14 weeks on the average; more during the busy times of the year (Early Summer and Autumn)
  • The average range of cost of a Crown Point custom kitchen is $30,000 to $40,000.





Step 1: Let's look at a typical floor plan.
Our sample room has two doors, a window, and the goal is to have cabinetry on two walls.
Take room dimensions, including all dimensions around the room.
Measure to the outside of all casings.
Also, measure floor-to-ceiling height, preferably in a few places where the cabinetry will be. (You may be surprised how much it can vary!)
