How-To Sketch Your Space
Plan your DIY kitchen like a professional today!
Time to start your design! The team at DreamSpaces do not need a detailed plan or plan to scale to be able to get your project started. A rough sketch of the layout and function you're planning is all they need!
Standard cabinetry sizes can be customized at the time of quote and order.
How-To Sketch Your Design
Begin sketching your design
Using your floor plan from your measurements as a foundation, start planning your layout and sketching your cabinetry.
📋 Key Considerations:
- Think about your layout – consider your electrical and plumbing locations
- Start sketching your cabinetry layout – base cabinets, upper cabinets, and pantry cabinets
- Note: Fillers and end panels will be assisted by our team – we just need a rough plan to get started
- Your sketch doesn't need to be perfect or to scale
Add appliances to your design
Consider and note the locations of all your appliances including sinks, taps, cooktops, ovens, dishwashers, and refrigerators.
🏠 Appliance Details:
- Partner brands available: Oliveri (sinks & taps), Fisher & Paykel, and Haier appliances
- For new appliances: Note down the model numbers
- For existing appliances: Measure height, width, and depth, and note model number
- Mark the location of each appliance on your sketch
Take photos of your existing space
Take photos from multiple angles to help our team understand your requirements. These are also great for "before and after" comparisons!
Check your measurements
Re-verify all your measurements to ensure that your customized plan is correct. Remember: measure twice, cut once!
