What You'll Need
- A steel measuring tape
- Paper and pencil, or your phone
- A calculator
Step 1: Sketch Your Layout
Draw your kitchen from above. Mark each counter section, walls, windows, the sink, hob, fridge and any island or peninsula. Number each section — 1, 2, 3 — so measurements are easy to match.
Step 2: Measure
For each section:
- Length: measure along the wall, end to end.
- Depth: measure from the wall to the front edge of the cabinet, then add about 1 inch for the overhang.
- Backsplash: measure the length and desired height.
- Island: measure length and depth, including any seating overhang.
Write every measurement on the sketch in inches.
Tip: in L-shaped kitchens, measure one leg to the wall and the other leg from the edge of the first leg's depth, so the corner is not counted twice.
Step 3: Calculate
For each section, multiply length × depth (in inches) and divide by 144 to get square feet. Add all sections together, add backsplash area, and add about 10% for wastage.
Example:
- Section 1: 96 × 25 = 2,400 sq in ÷ 144 = 16.7 sq ft
- Section 2: 60 × 25 = 1,500 sq in ÷ 144 = 10.4 sq ft
- Backsplash: 156 × 4 = 624 sq in ÷ 144 = 4.3 sq ft
- Total: 31.4 sq ft + 10% ≈ 34.5 sq ft
Odd-Shaped Projects
For curved islands, angled walls or unusual shapes:
- Measure the longest length and widest depth to create a rectangle.
- Take photos from several angles.
- Note angles where possible.
- Our team will template the exact shape on site.
