The kitchen project is an insanely necessary detail, because if you think about the design and placement of items right away, then you can avoid many other problems later. Even a small room can fit enough furniture and look stylish if it is properly thought out in advance. You can make a project on your own if you carefully familiarize yourself with the details of the room, as well as with some features of the layout for small rooms.

Benefits of working independently

First of all, this is saving on the services of a designer. And, as you know, every year their services are becoming more expensive and not everyone is ready to spend so much money on just one project. Plus, such an activity can be called a creative project and give free rein to your imagination. Thus, you can create a unique and original interior of your premises.Also, our desire and vision do not always run with the designer.

And sometimes it happens that a person misinterpreted your wishes and created a project that you do not like at all, and, as you think, does not fit into the interior of your kitchen at all. You can approach this task with the whole family and create a room that will appeal to each family member. But still, in order to make a project, you need to have at least minimal drawing skills and a vision of proportions, since otherwise it is likely to spoil the room, and then it’s definitely better to contact the designer.

What will be needed for this

If you want to not only sketch the room itself with all its proportions, but also indicate the placement of each element of furniture or appliances, you will need to create several sketches, and preferably several variations in the placement of all these details in separate drawings. The drawings should show objects simply from above, from the side, think over the necessary sockets for each technique, as well as central and spot lighting in the room.

In order to harmoniously and clearly draw a sketch, and then other details, it is worth first carefully measuring all sides of the room. It is worth doing this after a final repair, since in the process some measurements may still change, so it is worth taking measurements immediately before buying the furniture and appliances themselves. At the stage of planning and measuring the kitchen, it should not contain any unnecessary details, only walls, floor and ceiling. This is done in order not to distort the real dimensions of the room. To do this, you will need a pencil, tape measure, eraser, graph paper.

To properly complete this task, you must:

• measure the length and width of the walls;
• measure the height of the ceiling;
• do not forget about the size of windows and doors, also carefully finding out their parameters.

Also, there may be objects in the room that cannot be moved, so they also need to be measured and included in the plan. It can be a gas meter, a radiator, a battery, a gas boiler. It is necessary to measure their width, height and ledge, so that later you can choose the right furniture and appliances for them. If you want to create a kitchen using an angular layout, it is worth measuring the perpendicularity of the walls.
