Home / Custom Design Studio / Measurement Guide

Measure your space with confidence.

Simple checklists for each product. Customer-provided measurements may need verification before anything is confirmed.

Before you measure

Use a metal tape measure where possible.
Measure in inches to the nearest 1/8″.
Note anything unusual about the space and take photos.
Customer-provided measurements are used for the first design. We may ask for verification or an on-site check before anything is confirmed.

Custom Closets

Measure the full opening, then note anything nearby that could affect the fit.

Wall width: the full opening, wall to wall.
Usable height: floor to ceiling, or to any bulkhead.
Depth: how far the space goes back.
Left and right walls: angled, uneven or open-ended walls.
Baseboards: height and how far they project.
Outlets and switches: position on the wall.
Door swings: anything that swings into the space.
Windows: location and sill height.
Ceiling restrictions: sloped ceilings, soffits, beams.
Other obstructions: vents, pipes, uneven flooring.

Entryway & Shoe Storage

A slim footprint means small details near the floor matter more.

Available wall width: the full run you would like to use.
Height: floor to your desired top height.
Depth: how far it can project into the entry.
Baseboards: height and projection.
Nearby doors: front door or closet doors that swing close by.

TV width and height: your current or planned TV.
TV location: centred on the wall, or offset.
Console width and height: how large you would like it.
Height from the floor: how high it should float.

Cabinet Doors

Each opening is measured individually. A photo of your existing cabinets helps us confirm the rest.

Door width and height: measured per opening.
Quantity: total doors and drawer fronts needed.
Hinge side: which edge the door hinges from.
Existing hinge type: where relevant to reuse hardware.
Overlay: how far the door covers the cabinet frame.
Paired doors: measure each door in a pair separately.
Drawer fronts: measured the same way, separately.
Photos: of your existing cabinetry, to confirm style and fit.
